If I heard that my former spouse was engaged to someone new–and far richer–I’d do what we all would: torch his yacht and plant a kilo of drugs under the seat of his Maybach. Like, obviously.
But Nick Cannon had a very different reaction when his ex-wife Mariah Carey announced her engagement to Aussie billionaire James Packer…
Ha! Clearly Cannon is a pretty good sport, thereby making me even more confused about why he married Mimi in the first place. How can someone who is this chill, or at least pretends to be, marry someone who posts this kind of stuff on Instagram…

These weren’t ironic, BTW. She posted this totally seriously and on purpose. Anyway. Nick, like all of us, was aghast at the news that Mariah’s engagement ring is basically the size of a small planet. Apparently she’s rocking a 35 carat–not a typo, thirty five carat–diamond and platinum ring designed by NYC jeweler Wilfredo Rosado. Mimi, surprisingly, hasn’t posted a jillion selfies with the stone just yet, but here’s a peek at what it looks like. Can’t wrap your head around what 35 carats looks like? The ring, which is one of the largest in the world, is more than twice the size ofKim Kardashian’s 15 carats bauble from Kanye West...
Twice the size.
Personally, I find a ring that enormous to be the height of bourgeoise tackiness. A true society girl or royal knows that ostentation is tres embarrassing and just smacks of new money, which is exactly what James and Mariah are. Call me when a castle has been in your family since the 1600s, d’accord darlings? But oh so much good luck in the future.
