Few things make me happier than photos of Mariah Carey. Because no matter how badly you dress, you can always look at them and say, “Well at least I don’t dress like that.” It’s great for the self esteem. Mariah and husband Nick Cannon dressed as a firefighter and a fireskank for a Halloween party last night in New York. And in true Mariah fashion she was way over the top to the point of embarrassing.

It’s a Halloween accessory to put even the fanciest broomstick to shame – a full-size fire truck.

Mariah Carey arrived at a New York club on the back of the vehicle dressed in a fire jacket and little else.

The singer showed off her bejewelled red underwear and satin red stockings at a strictly for adults Halloween party which she attended with new husband Nick Cannon.

Supposedly Nick and Mariah really plan their fights ahead – they’re already arguing over how to spend New Year’s Eve.

Newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are battling again – this time over how to spend New Year’s Eve!

Nick wants the couple to host a splashy las Vegas bash with a potential payday of a half million bucks – but Mariah does NOT want to spend the night working. She’d rather go to the Bahamas for a vacation, insiders say.

“They’re at it again!” a source told The Enquirer. “Things are so bad that Mariah and Nick may not even make it to New Year’s Eve!

Mariah took in a cool $250,000 hosting the same part at The Venetian hotel’s Tao nightclub last New Year’s Eve, “so Nick figures that together they could bring in $500,000 for one night’s work,” the source said.

It’s cute that Nick thinks his party value is the same as Mariah’s. I’m not sure if he’s delusional or just bad at math. I’m fairly certain that after this the Easter fighting will begin, and then they’ll probably move ahead to arguing about Thanksgiving 2009. This bodes well for their relationship – as do the matching costumes.
