Mariah spent $125,000 renting mansion for wedding party

I would so love to live in Mariah Carey’s world. It sounds frivolous, empty, and incredibly easy. Rarely do you hear about Mimi’s schedule getting bogged down with commitments like going to charity events, donating money, raising awareness for anything – well other than herself. She’s constantly flashing humongous jewels and furs and seen dining at the best restaurants. It’s kind of hard to tell where my sarcasm left off and truth began here.

Mariah’s self-indulgent lifestyle is getting kicked up a notch at the end of the month. Though she’d previously planned on throwing herself another wedding (because the first one to Nick Cannon – and Mariah’s second wedding overall) wasn’t fabulous enough, what with the island setting and the lobster and all). Plans for that seem to have been scrapped, but she is still throwing herself a wedding party so everyone can celebrate her in grand style. Oh and Nick too. Probably.

Mariah Carey is finally getting the wedding party she always dreamed about. Sources say Carey paid an astounding $125,000 to rent Stone Meadow Farm in East Hampton for one week this month. At the 10-bedroom, 18,000 square-foot, 8-acre spread, the diva and her new hubby, Nick Cannon, will "chill out" - as opposed to whatever else they've been doing since they married.

But we hear she's also finally getting around to celebrating her quickie April wedding to Cannon. The party will be hosted by Def Jam boss L.A. Reid, and all the guests who bought Carey presents through her Bergdorf Goodman registry can finally toast the couple.

If all goes well, Carey has the option to buy Stone Meadow, which is listed at just under $20 million and is the site of the Red Cross Ball on Aug. 23. Carey's rep and Corcoran listing agent Gary DePersia had no comment.
