Nick: "She didn't help me get America's Got Talent job"
Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon has angrily denied claims his superstar wife is responsible for landing him his job hosting America's Got Talent. Cannon is adamant his relationship with Carey doesn't influence potential employers. "I've heard all the rumors that in order for me to get the job Mariah had to say she'd come perform," Nick insisted.
"Like she helped me get the job. I've heard all of those rumors but none of that stuff is true. What actually happened is she had a hit single out and we got the number one show on TV so it's the only destination for someone to perform in front of that big of an audience during the summer. She's a huge fan of the show."
However, Cannon does take credit for Carey's appearance on Simon Cowell's hit TV show. "They were looking for people and I kinda came up with the idea originally to debut her video on NBC and once that relationship got together, they were like, 'Do you think she would come perform?' and I was like, 'Why not? Let's figure it out!' " he said. (Showbiz Spy)
