New
York,
(ANI):
It
seems
Mariah
Carey
is
doing
every
bit
to
keep
her
pregnancy
rumours
under
wraps.
The
sexy
songbird
didn't
exactly
quash
pesky
pregnancy
rumours
or
her
reputation
as
high
maintenance
at
husband
Nick
Cannon's
30th
birthday
dinner
at
Lavo
NYC
this
weekend.
The
singer
kept
her
goods
under
cover
for
much
of
the
night.
Upon
arriving,
she
refused
to
pose
for
pictures
outside
the
club
and
insisted
on
entering
Lavo
through
the
back
door,
reports
the
New
York
Daily
News.
According
to
the
sources,
given
her
choice
of
outerwear,
it
was
Carey
who
put
a
bit
of
a
damper
on
the
festivities.
While
Cannon
made
the
rounds,
chatting
with
R&B
artist
Ne-Yo,
"SNL" cast
member
Jay
Pharoah
and
BET
Executive
Vice
President
Stephen
Hill,
"Mariah
wasn''t
really
mingling."
Instead,
she
sat
in
the
same
place
"practically
the
whole
night."
The
40-year-old
Carey
didn't
even
try
Cannon's
birthday
cake,
which
took
the
form
of
a
large
No.
30.
And,
despite
her
reported
love
of
Champagne,
she
stuck
strictly
to
cranberry
cocktail
juice,
further
fueling
rumors
that
she's
carrying
Cannon's
child.
The
"touchy
feely" couple
departed
directly
after
dinner,
although
not
before
more
drama
ensued.
Carey,
we're
told,
wanted
to
exit
as
she
entered
-
through
the
back
door
-
for
an
unusual
reason.
Leaving
via
the
front
involved
traversing
two
steps,
and
according
to
the
source,
the
singer's
handlers
discussing
that
"Mariah
doesn't
do
stairs"
-
perhaps
because
of
her
sparkly,
skyscraper-high
black
heels.
When
it
was
determined,
however,
that
paparazzi
had
amassed
at
Lavo's
rear
entrance
and
that
the
front
door
was
the
most
secure
way
to
exit
the
building,
Carey
braved
the
two-step
descent
and
she
and
Cannon
made
their
escape.
