OMG! Miss Mimi is soooo pregnant! Speculation about her baby joy is certainly not new, but new details are making it look more and more as if she is with child!

Mimi has allegedly shelved plans for a scheduled 2009 world tour, sending a slew of dancers and crew members back to the unemployment line.

“Costume designers and dancers were all called on Wednesday and told the tour is off. Most were hysterically crying because they were relying on her for a pay cheque this holiday season,” a source said.

The news follows reports that Mariah, 38, was recently seen leaving a gynecologist’s office in Los Angeles this weekend, smiling to herself and holding what appeared to be a sonogram.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: “Mariah came out of the office clutching what looked like a sonogram and being greeted by her entourage with cheers. She was ebullient.”

Rumors first started to fly when she turned down a congratulatory glass of champagne from talk show host and friend Ellen DeGeneres. The notorious fan of the bubbly simply said the champagne was too fattening.

When pressed to take a sip, she faked one, and then told Ellen that she never drinks before afternoon. Ellen responded by excitedly yelling, “You’re pregnant.”

Meanwhile, Mariah has refused to comment on the baby rumours but admits she is keen to start a family with 27-year-old Nick but to do it, she wouldn’t want to be working. This represents a change from her previous statement in which she likened having a baby to feeling violated.

She said: “People are constantly asking me if I’m pregnant, but I don’t like to talk about it too much. I just think about it as the next phase. We’ll see.

“I’ve changed my mind about becoming a mother because I’m with The One. I think we would make good parents, and that we’d be able to figure out how to do it properly.”

Well…it certainly makes sense that Mariah would decide to have a baby at this stage in her life, now that she has found “The One” and is approaching 40. Best wishes to Mariah and Nick!
