(GOSSIP) Pal Says Mariah's Marriage Will Last Six Months
A friend of Mariah Carey does not think that her marriage to Nick Cannon will last longer than six months.
They got hitched in April after a whirlwind romance, but sources think Nick will not be able to cope with his wife's diva demands.
Mariah's friend told Life And Style Weekly: "I give the marriage six months, tops. I can't see it lasting. Nick does whatever Mariah wants him to - he's like her puppy. It seems like he spends more time in the stores with Mariah's credit card than he does with Mariah herself.
"Mariah's assistants and friends call him 'Whipped Nick' behind his back. They have little respect for him because he won't stand up for himself."
SHOWBIZ SPOTLIGHT Another Bennifer Breakup?
E! Online gossip diva Ted Casablanca seems to know something big:
Terribly unfortunate scuttlebutt has come my way. Sources insist to me that Jennifer Garner is considering splitting up from her hubby, Ben Affleck. Say it ain't so, baby-cakes! Nevertheless, waiting on comment now from both parties. Could this be the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately, rarely as one happy family unit?
Perhaps. And certainly, those who know the former Alias star well insist Ben's mama has never particularly cared for the gal who broke Michael Vartan's heart to hook up with Benny-Boy in the first place. Waiting on official PR responses to that little familial naughty nugget as, well, for what it's worth. Much has to be divided, I'm told...planes, property. Wonder—if above baddie biz is true—if Benny-boy will be the gentleman Vartan was when he was cast aside? Let's hope. I mean, don't leave Vi-hon with the sitters too long if ya decide to hit the card tables, Mr. A!
However, according to Mr. Affleck's representatives, that gambling escape won't be necessary: "We usually don't comment on stuff like this," shot Camp Affleck. "But you should know sources are liars. If you guys want to do the right thing, you won't post that item. It's all BS." Really? Interesting, as it's from the same bull-pooping peeps who originally told me Ms. G was moving from Vartan to Affleck, the fickle little femme.
SHOWBIZ SPOTLIGHT Britney Spears Gets Overnights with Sons-- (Provided the Four Seasons Bar is Not Included)
Britney Spears was awarded overnight privileges with her sons.
She hasn't had her children overnight since January, after her hospitalization at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (loony bin).
At a closed-door hearing Tuesday, Brit and her ex, Kevin Federline, were re-joined by her first divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, who has officially replaced the second lawyer (Stacy Phillips).
An L.A. Superior Court spokesman said "any judge is pleased to see progress being made by parties in a case".
The former couple face a custody trial in August, unless they can settle their case amicably out of court. Their next hearing is set for July 15.
John Mayer Claims He Never Cheated On A Girlfriend
Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend John Mayer says that he has never been unfaithful to a girlfriend. Despite his reputation as a serial dater, John said that he has never cheated.
He said, "I've never cheated on anybody, so you won't have anybody coming out the woodwork saying that I have. Instead of worrying about career damage, I've dated women.
"All I've ever done was decided that I fancied somebody, and said 'Would you like to go out and get a meal somewhere?' And done so in a social setting, where other people can see you."
He also denied he's dating Jennifer Aniston for publicity, claiming: "I've never done things solely for money. I think that's what I wanna say. The one thing I'll take with me to my grave, hopefully, is that I've never made a decision based on anything other than my heart."

And while John Mayer might have broken Minka Kelly's heart when he left her for Jennifer Aniston - he did call her before the news about them hit the press.
A pal said, "Minka received a call from John prior to the story breaking about his relationship with Jennifer. He apologized to Minka, 'Sorry, but I'm really in love.' "
She found that interesting as, "during his relationship with her, John mentioned, 'I don't really get this Jennifer Aniston thing.' "
Katy Perry Kissed A Girl-- but No Sex Til Marriage?
Katy Perry told Seventeen magazine she has a steady boyfriend, but she doesn't believe in sex before marriage.
She says, "I know what it does to people. One night my boyfriend and I went a little too far and I felt like I'd fallen so far away from God. I doubted myself and my strength. I was so weak at the time in my relationship with Christ."
Katy says IF someone is going to have sex, she absolutely believes that person should use a condom: "Some Christians think that if you use a condom, it's premeditated. So nobody uses a condom at all and they have sex and get pregnant the first time."
