Nick Cannon is hilarious

While we here at Too Old are all well aware of how Dave Chapelle’s son feels about Nick Cannon, I was unaware until recently of his budding romance with pop/R&B diva Mariah Carey.  MSNBC reported today that sources from both Cannon and Carey have confirmed the couple’s recent engagement.  I have already commented in a previous post about Mariah’s appearance on American Idol, looking banging as ever, and now it turns out she’s getting banged out by Mr. Wild ‘N Out.  Cannon was previously engaged to Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks (pictured below) and while Mariah may be an upgrade financially it is debatable whether this could be considered anything better than a lateral move from an attraction perspective (although Mariah is certainly more well endowed in the chest area).

For Mariah, it is at least a move to a more youthful beau (Cannon is 10 years her junior) and presumably funnier than her past love interests (ex-husband Tommy Mottola comes to mind).

In the fast paced world of the entertainment industry these kind of relationships rarely last long.  I’m hoping that Mariah finds Nick Cannon a bit too old for her tastes and decides to ditch the 27-year-old for a slightly less-hilarious, 26-year-old blogger that we all know and love.
