Mimi's Secondhand Goods
Filed under: Exclusives! > Mariah Carey > Nick Cannon
That engagement ring Mariah Carey's been sporting looks AWFUlly familiar!
The rock appears to be identical to the one that Nick Cannon gave his former fiance, Vctoria's Secret model Selita.
Hey, he spent a lot of money on it and after his ex returned it, Nick wanted to put it to good use!
If it is the same ring, should Mimi be pissed???????
Unless it's a family heirloom, which we doubt it is, we think regifting an engagement ring is kinda….ridiculously TACKY!!!!!
Update:
A source close to Cannon's ex-fiance, Selita, confirms exclusively to PerezHilton.com, "That IS the same ring."

MIMI YOU CAN DO BETTER!
honestly, the settings look different. the model's rind appears to have a bigger diamond.
You THEFT!!! You stole this picture with the ring circled in red from Media Takeout.com You owe them credit. I have always been a fan of your,but know your starting to turn into a hollywooder. Your getting artificial.
okay, i don't have time to read all the comments, but am i the ONLY one that was more disturbed that the zipper on ms. c's jeans is riding about a half an inch low? the ring? same, not the same, doesn't matter, they look too much alike. we call those kinda boys "OTP" (one trick ponies), ’cause baby it worked once, so let's just keep on doing it.
that is sooo not the same ring. selita's ring is more square. mariah's is rounder around the edges. it's tacky he got her the same type of ring.
"Touch my fat body"
"Roll me in flour"
"Hit the wet spot"
"Give me what I deserve"
you think that sound check guy had it bad… wait til Mimi reads this! heads are gonna roll!!!!
well that sucks. Thats what happens when you go for a younger guy.
It looks the same to me.
That's just plain tacky, and I'm not even into rings and such.
Mimis ring looks slightly different. Teh shape is more rounded then the other one.
This wreaks of that "Pop Fiction" TV show. I mean, Mariah and Nick Cannon?!?!? Not only that, but someone as guarded as her getting hitched so quick??? It's too hard to believe. She does have a sense of humor so I don't see it past her doing this as a prank. And to the fool who said she's getting married for publicity because Madonna is selling more than her: check yourself, buddy, because E=MC2 sold almost 200,000 more than Hard Candy.
For a gay man, you sure don't know jewelry, Perez.
First of all, Mimi's ring is octagonal….and for your morons, that means it has eight sides. Selita's is clearly square. And even tho Selita's pic is smaller, you can tell that the center stone is larger than Mimi's.
Get it together, sister. And take your nose out of Madonna's ass and stop slagging Mariah. Personally I can't stand either one of them but your bias is showing.
mariah's ring looks different. the edges are more rounded.
It hasn't even been a full year since he proposed to Selita! Is he marriage-crazy? This dude needs to try just dating someone for a little while. He's only 27 and this is already the second woman he's tried to settle down with in the last calendar year! WTF!
Wonder if he got it resized…
She should be mad if that is the same ring! I can't wait to see what happens next.
this is ridiculous!mariah carey must break up with this cheap ass loser.
Wow. I can't believe it!! How awful!! It looks better on Selita's hand.
it looks similar but mimis is more square where selita is more of a rectangle , the the surrounding stones look not as large on seltias
Wow, that IS tacky
Mariah! Dump his ass NOW!! He is using you sweetheart. This is a BIG warning sign that he is not good enough for you!!!!!!
The ring he gave Selita was a canary diamond. Mariah's is so not.
That is soooo tacky! Why wouldn't he sell the ring and then buy Mariah a new one? Nick Cannon is a dumbass!! Who wants a recycled ring even if it costs 2 million dollars?
you can clearly see that its not the same ring.
It was a family heirloom. I think it's sweet.
definitely not the same ring.
similar, sure. both gorgeous. but not the same..leave her alone.
same ring she wore at the 2006 grammy awards….so it may look simular but its not the same ring at that selina girls
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HOW EMBARRASSING !!!!!!!!! I AM VERY CONFUSED BY THIS PAIRING, HE IS A CHILD !!!
Yeah, tacky like a few million dollars is tacky.
Shiteous!!
Are you retarded? Those rings look NOTHING alike. WTF.
Take this post off. Stop trying to create drama about nothing.
That is reeeeeeeeeeally embarrassing if that is the same ring. Mariah will fucking snap at Cannon.
first of all, they dont look the same that much.
to all of u guys thats saying "mariah is gonna be pissed" if it were the same rings, dont uguys think mariah would know? and not to it out by perezhilton.com lol.
and its not fo'sho but it can be a family heirloom or something else.. so plz, just shut up, you guys have NO idea what the truth is.
That so Funny…. One of my best guy friends did that bought it for one and gave it to another in a drunkin stuip move!!!! I here breakup rumors already….MIMI doesn't take to well to sloppy seconds!!!!!
Number one, Mariah would hopefully be alert enough NEVER to accept a ring just like Cannon's former fiance's. Number two, the rings don't look exactly alike.
Number three, Mariah seems to be the kind of person that would pick out her OWN ring and then make her fiance buy it, hahaha! JesUS!
this ring isnt mariahs engagement ring,mariahs engagement ring is a pink diamond!! perez u diss on mariah too much giv her a break!! xx
Re: madonnamike – maddona is no where near mariah in record sales. even if she was, tht isnt even her song its timberlands!! at least mariah writes her own material!!
Similar but not the same….
mimi WHAT are u thinking (you are not) she can do so much better than that 12 yr old skin and bones nast who gets engaged every relationship
Maybe they're not engaged and Mimi is trying to make a statement to Selita. "I got your man AND your ring!" She does seem cunty like that.
like booby brown on a lesser nutty scale NICK has NO career he OUT FOR HER MOOLAH-mariah come on
Yeah right! They're not the same ring. The other one looks white and her's looks pink. Haters!
If you look closely, they are not the same…the center diamond is bigger in Solita's than Mariah's, they are VERY similar, but not the same.
UNLIKE MARIAH WHO IS LATE FOR EVERY APPEARANCE… FROM THE NY POST…
Madonna, wearing a skintight black suit and a lace top, was certainly punctual, taking the stage promptly at 10:04 p.m. ET, to thunderous applause, as the first bars of "Candy Shop" reverberated off the packed venue’s walls.
I'd be willing ot bet that as soon as Miss Diva reads this story, there will be no more engagement!
I didn't notice at first but if you look closer at the rings, Mariah's is more of a square and actually looks a lot different. Yeah, if my ex fiance were getting married to Mariah I might say it was the same ring too, out of spite. It's totally not the same if you look close. Mariah is way too ferosh to accept a second hand ring! The ring is fabulous but getting a ring from nick cannon…not so much.
i honestly dont think it is the same ring it looks similar but i think its a diffrent one!!@!!!!!
they definately do look different, the other one looks more square
mariah is so annoying anyways, who cares what her ring looks like!
my dad tried that on my mom in 1948…she told him if he could buy the first girl one diamond..he could buy her two…and he did…lol..they were married 42 years…
Is MiMi that hard up for a man that she takes someone's elses throwback and accepts a USED ring? Sad.
Not the same ring moron, Mimi's is a hexagon and Selita's a square
Doesn't look like the same ring
Awww DAYUM! Sh!t is about to hit the fan! Dont F w/ MIMI!!!
Come on Perez, I know you do not like Mariah but you can clearly see that Selita's center stone is BIGGER than Mariah's! HA! HA!
They look different to me, different setting.
OMFG! Mimi is going to have a MELTDOWN!!!!
There completely different rings
What a douchebag. Couldn't he have the stone reset. Geez.
hope that fake bitch gets hit by a bus
what a cheap prick. How humiliating for Mariah. Hope she thought this one through. Seems like a desperate move on her part.
Aw, poor thing. Why would she even accept it?! And Why would she be with a someone as immature as NICK CANNON!? Wow.
If any of you Fucktards think that this is Nick grandma's Heirloom ring you deserve the government cheese and WIC you get. I'm sure his grandfather who mopped my High School floors could afford a 5+ carat ring!
those rings are totally different.
Who cares! Its not gonna last any way! Hopefully Nick will end up with a lot of money after the divorce. Smooth move to marry a cougar.
LMFAO - Das wat hapnz wen u wit a BrokeA**! I'd rather except a candy ring 4rm Price Busters! X_X
it does look diffrent to me also… I love mariah
he could have atleast traded it in for a different one! cheap and lazy!! check your man before you MARRY him crazy bia. he's so desperate and taking advantage of my girl mimi!!!
who cares if the ring is the same one. dont u think mimi would have notice that already. who is gonna go out and buy another ring when u already have one to give. how do u know that it is not a family heirloom? just cause he is black. All i got to say is "Nick and Mariah dont let the media in on any thing because it is none of their concern what goes on between the two of you."
they look differnt to me
Just so you know, the rings are actually different. The ring he gave Selita was 10 carets T.W. of colorless diamonds. The ring he gave Mariah is 17 carets T.W. of pink diamonds. Just ask Jacob the Jeweler, he designed it.
PLEASE…………..The ring, jeweler Jacob & Co. confirmed to PEOPLE, is crafted from platinum and features a square, emerald-cut fancy light pink diamond in the center, surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds, flanked by two half-moon diamonds. The total carat weight of the ring - the center stone alone is 10 carats - is a jaw-dropping 17 carats, with a value of $2.5 million.
Though some have speculated that Carey's ring is the same one Cannon gave to his former fiancée, Victoria's Secret model Seltia Ebanks, Ebanks's ring was 12 carats and made of colorless diamonds.
GET REAL PEREZ!
I just read on People.com that Jacob the Jeweler confirmed that this is a completely different ring. It said Mariah's is only 10 carats and Selita's was 12. Things that mke you go hmmmmmm….
There’s a New Queen of Pop: Mariah Beats Madonna
Thu, May 1, 2008
News
The war is over and there’s a new queen of pop: Miss Mariah Carey.
How do we know?
Hitsdailydouble.com is reporting that estimated first week sales for Madonna’s Hard Candy album will range between 275,000-300,000.
Mariah’s “E=MC2” sold 475,000 in its first week and was Carey’s biggest debut ever.
In addition to that, Madonna’s numbers are a slide downwards from her last album, “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” which 350,000 copies its first week out and went on to sell 1.7 million copies in the U.S. That was three years ago.
So what happened? Kabbalah and Malawi didn’t help, neither did dependence on Justin Timberlake singing like Michael Jackson on the debut single, “4 Minutes to Save the World.”

I love Perez, but he really needs to learn to get his information straight. He's always saying how RELIABLE 'People' Magazine is, so how come he can't just go online and read what they're printing in their story??
This is quoted DIRECTLY from 'People' –
"The ring, jeweler Jacob & Co. confirmed to PEOPLE, is crafted from platinum and features a square, emerald-cut fancy light pink diamond in the center, surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds, flanked by two half-moon diamonds. The total carat weight of the ring – the center stone alone is 10 carats – is a jaw-dropping 17 carats, with a value of $2.5 million.
Though some have speculated that Carey's ring is the same one Cannon gave to his former fiancée, Victoria's Secret model Seltia Ebanks, Ebanks's ring was 12 carats and made of colorless diamonds."
-I'm not a "gossip queen" like Perez, but even *I* did my homework!!
actually… it is a different ring. mariah's ring has pink stones and his ex's has colorless… it just looks the same because they have similar designs
OMG that cheap bastard needs to get a better job to get
her a better ring i mean hello its MARIAH CAREY she's deserves a better ring!!! She should be mad!!!! I know i would
not want a used ring!!
i work closely with mariah's team and this whole thing is phony. in no way would she marry Nick, makes for good headlines…. since her album is #1 and all. you'll soon see.
TACKY
but if he was turned down by a VICTORIA SECRT modol then it has to be
SHIT
eewww, that ring is ugly… and way to big.
so so so tacky!

TACKY!!!!!!!
That's sooooo ghetto!!!! I'd be pissed that's for sure. Even with fame and fortune you can take folks out of the hood but you can't the the hood out of folks.
HELLO!!!???
The close up looks exactly the same way as Mariah's hand is in the big pic, AND you can see the same hair color in the background, AND the close up pic is not even in the same hand position as Canon's ex…WOW did you people really not notice that????
The ring Selita got was a princess cut the one he gave Mariah is totally different if you look on the side its extended compared to the ring he gave to his ex.
It looks like two different rings
Those aren't the same. The one on the left looks more blue/teal colored, and the sides on Mimi's look more rounder whereas the one on the right looks more square-ish.
It IS TWO DIFFERENT RINGS THIS ONE WAS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR MARIAH AND IT COST 2.5 MILLION
They are not the same ring! Check "People.com"! Someone in such a public eye would not be stupid enough to use the same engagemnet ring twice, come on Perez. The "source" close to Selita is probably upset because Nick upgraded her.
Selita kept her ring!
O.M.G! If that is the same ring,he should feel a thousand shames! Tight ass! But you've got to admit it is kinda funny! ILMAO!
XOXO
It is not the same ring , are you saying these people are stupid
Are you blind? That is NOT the same ring, the setting for the center stone and surrounding diamonds is a whole different shape. It is similar, but not the same. If he reset the stones into a different setting, well, good for him. Other sites are confirming that it is a different ring.
check this out
Ya it's the same ring. Look at it! You can't put a media spin of denial on this one… pathetic. That's why this is so Pop Fiction.
If you look closely that small picture is of mariah's finger. Plus the two pics of Selita don't even match up her hand is in nick's hand in the larger picture and pointing up in the smaller pic. it just doesn't add up don't u think? and he would have HAD to known that it would be big news if he gave mariah the same ring!
those rings are totally different….the shape of the borders of the rings are different..the color..the cut of diamond…the only thing similar is the diamonds on the sides but so what it's still different…
The rings are NOT the same!!!! Same design….yes, but same ring….NO!!! Look at his ex's ring……Okay, do you see pink diamonds on it? The answer class is NO, you dont. Now look at Mariah's ring…..Do you see pink diamonds on it? Yes! You do! Okay, got it? Leave it alone, for God's sake. So not the same ring, unless diamonds magically turn pink these days. People should talk about more important things like the economy, etc. etc.
damn that sucks, she'll be getting a new one soon, certainly when they come back from the honeymoon
that is so wacktastic!!!!!! Ewww. it would be like him giving her some lingerie that selita wore! i can't stand nick cannon. i hope this career move for him is successful. he is so kevin federline right now.
first!
