For someone in the middle of a comedy tour, Nick Cannon was sounding a little melancholy Thursday morning. The America's Got Talent emcee's plane hadn't even taken off from Los Angeles, and he was already missing his wife of two years, Mariah Carey.
``[The traveling] is a constant grind,'' said Cannon, 29. ``Sometimes she comes with me. I even try my stuff on her. Mariah helps me -- she's one of the funniest people I know.''
The 40-year-old pop diva is included in his act, which he'll do at the Fort Lauderdale Improv Friday and Saturday nights. ``How could you not talk about it when you're married to one of the most famous women in the world?''
Cannon actually started out as a comedian, appearing on Nickelodeon's All That in the '90s.
``I love doing standup,'' the California native says. ``It's therapeutic for me.''
A major inspiration: activist/comedian Dick Gregory.
``He's the best -- a great artist,'' Cannon said, ``And he has the history to prove it.''
Sorry, but we have to ask: What of those pregnancy rumors?
``We don't pay much attention to it. We live our lives,'' he said. ``When we get pregnant, it'll be a secret.''

Nick Cannon Reveals When He and Mariah Carey Will Have a Baby on the Way
Nick Cannon has grown accustomed to being flooded with questions about becoming a father, but he is resolute with his response. Mariah Carey's hubby put his stand-up chops to the test, entertaining a crowd at Playboy Comedy inside the Lounge at the Palms Casino Resort on Thursday night in Las Vegas.
The "America's Got Talent" host wants inquiring minds to simmer down about when he and his wife will add a baby to the mix. "I'm going to have kids when everybody stops asking and everybody stops being so nosey," he said to hush fans and tabloids. "It's one of those things in God's hands and when the time is right it happens."
He did disclose, however, that they share tender moments in bed. "We do watch 'AGT' together. Sit in bed, popcorn, and watch me," he admitted. "I'm an egomaniac, so it's a little egotistical, but I do it."
Nick will circle the country on his comedy tour, finishing right where he starte--Sin City. "I'm starting here in the small room and hopefully in six months I'll be back to do the theater," he said of plans to film a special.

Nick Cannon: ‘Mariah Carey Not Pregnant’
NICK CANNON has fired off at reports his wife MARIAH CAREY is expecting the couple’s first child - he insists she is not pregnant.
Speculation has swirled around the couple for weeks after Carey pulled out of a Tyler Perry movie over mysterious health concerns in June (10).
Neither Carey nor Cannon have spoken about the health issue - or the pregnancy rumours, until now.
Cannon tells America’s Star magazine, “Mariah is not pregnant. The timing has to be right. But I can’t wait to be a dad!”

Can Justin Bieber and Brandon Flowers Save L.A. Reid?
The word is starting up again at Island Def Jam Records: L.A. Reid, they say, may be on his way out.Listen, no one criticized L.A. Reid more almost a decade ago when he took over Arista Records. He had a rocky start. that’s for sure.
But Reid’s promotion from running LaFace Records to Arista and then to Island Def Jam has shown him to be a mature, decisive record man. Losing him now would be a mistake for Island Def Jam and Universal Music Group.
The rumors emanate now because Lucian Grainge has come to the US from Universal International to run UMG. He’s a music man but he’s looking at the bottom line. And in the music biz these days, it just doesn’t look good. It doesn’t help that Grainge was described in Billboard earlier this year as a “killer shark.”
Reid, on the other hand, is a softy. He signed up Jennifer Lopez, god knows why. His experiments with Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri failed. The last Mariah Carey album was a disappointment. Reid loves Lionel Richie and keeps pushing out new records. It’s admirable. But Hello? Is it Richie young kids are looking for? Not really.
So Reid has Justin Bieber, the annoying teenager. Leave it to Bieber–he’s a hit. You can’t discount that. Reid has a hot album and promo push coming for Brandon Flowers, lead singer of the Killers, with his first solo effort. It smells like platinum. Charlize Theron stars in the video.
Reid has some other gambles about to hit, so watch out. He went to Belize and signed up rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrow after he got out of jail. Shyne famously took the rap in the P Diddy/Sean Combs-Jennifer Lopez nightclub shooting a few years ago. Now he’s out, and mad after serving nine years of a decade long sentence.Not only that, he’s been deported to his native Belize. If Reid can turn Shyne into a cause celebre, he may have a hit on his hands. (PS This is funny–Barrow’s mother is Jewish. And frankly, as a rapper, he sounds a little like he’s been sitting around Katz’s waiting for a glass of tea.)
There’s also a new album from one half of Outkast, Big Boi. And Mariah Carey, as I’ve already reported, is hard at work on a new album for possible Christmas release. And it was Reid who “broke” Duffy, his own Dusty Springfield.
I like the idea of Lucian Grainge simply because he signed the Psychedelic Furs thirty years ago.
The industry wags are predicting that Home on the Grainge will look very different once he takes over in January 2011. I think not. And he’s sure to see that L.A. Reid is one of the last links to what makes the record business still run or feel like it might have a little magic left.

“You Don’t Mess With” a Mariah Concert Investor
Anyone who has seen You Don’t Mess With the Zohan knows that people in the Middle East love Mariah Carey.
Well the love for Mariah in the Arab world was possibly what concert promoter Antywan Ross was trying to cash in on when he convinced a New Jersey-based investor to fork over $330,000 for a series of Mariah concerts in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Big problem for Ross was that there never a Mariah show in Dubai.
Instead the 43-year-old Ross admitted in U.S. District Court Thursday that he sent out fake letters claiming at least $1 million in sponsorships and even one letter claiming $10 million were already committed to the concerts.
Ross pleaded guilty to wire fraud Thursday.
Instead of using the money to put on the Mariah show, Ross used most of the invested thousands to pay for personal items including a luxury car, according to the United States Attorney of the District of New Jersey.
He also owned up to never paying back the investment, said the U.S. Attorney.
The wire fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine up to twice the amount defrauded. Ross will pay more than $325,000 in restitution, said authorities.
Ross is free on bond until his sentencing in October.

All fired up
YOU KNOW IT'S a good sign when there are sparks on your first date. For Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey, literal pyrotechnics graced theirs - and there are still plenty of fireworks between the married couple.
"The Fourth of July is really special to my wife and me. We love watching fireworks, especially since we saw them on our first date," Cannon tells us.
This year, the "America's Got Talent" host will also be the emcee of the world's largest fireworks display, the 34th Annual Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular airing on NBC.
Cannon tells us he's excited to participate in the city's festivities.
"This is actually the first time I'll be in New York for the Fourth. And this is going to be a great event."
The celebration will also feature teeny-bopper Justin Bieber and musical performances by the New York Pops and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, all from the decks of the cruise ship the Norwegian 'Epic.'
Last year, the star and his wife were in Los Angeles - not far from Cannon's hometown of San Diego.
"When I was younger, I took a few trips across the border to Mexico to buy fireworks so I could put on a show at home. One year, we nailed one to a tree and it flew off and starting chasing my uncle around the yard. Now I pretty much stick to the safer stuff, like sparklers."
As for his favorite kind of professional pyrotechnics: "I like the ones where you think it's over and then they have a few extra sparks with their own little light surprise show," Cannon says with childlike anticipation.
Sky lights aside, he and Mariah take the holiday pretty seriously.
"We have Fourth of July outfits. She has a little flag bikini with stars and stripes, and I wear my Uncle Sam top hat and flag swim trunks - I'm sure there are photos of us somewhere. We celebrate our patriotism with our wardrobe."
And, they use the nation's birthday to spend time with family.
"My best memories of the Fourth are the past two years - being able to spend it with my wife and reflecting on how much we appreciate each other."
When asked if she'll accompany him while hosting the Macy's spectacular, Cannon gushes, "I'm hoping so! She's diligently working on her holiday album because she has a tight deadline, but we better be together for the holiday. We have to make out while the fireworks are going off!"
