Mariah Carey, Beyonce Share Holiday Photos of 'Dem Babies' & Blue Ivy

Posted byBy Julia Cox | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

From the looks of it, Beyonce, baby Blue Ivy, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and “dem babies” are having quite the Christmas holiday with the latter group in Aspen.

“MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Carey-Cannons!! Pictures from our most festive Christmas yet,” Mariah tweeted to her 8.4 million followers. Carey posted several photos of Monroe and Moroccan, almost 2, enjoying Christmas morning and posing in the snow with their parents.

While the inside shots show a floor littered with gifts, a toy truck and Etch-A-Sketch are visible on the floor of the rustic, yet luxurious cabin. The family has a lot to celebrate, with Mariah beginning the live portion of her American Idol hosting gig on January 16. Reportedly, dem babies will have their own playroom on set. Mariah allegedly requested a “organic baby beds” in a toy filled playspace big enough and for her twins and their doting father Nick Cannon to play in.

Mariah’s deal reportedly landed her a $18 million paycheck – the highest of all reality judges, currently.

Beyonce also shared a baby picture for the holidays, posting a photo of herself and Blue Ivy on Tumblr. The two are on a yacht with deep blue water behind them and a coastal landscape peaking out at the top of the image. Blue Ivy will turn one in January. Beyonce also has a lot to celebrate this holiday season, having just signed  a new $50 million deal with Pepsi.

The $50 million deal will include typical channels of advertising like commercials and print ads. In addition, Pepsi has also pledged a multimillion-dollar “creative content development fund” to support Beyonce’s artistic endeavors, such as her much-hyped HBO documentary and new album, both due in early 2013.

The documentary teaser, released recently, features a voiceover from Beyonce,  who admits she battles the question of “How much do I reveal about myself?” The documentary will show Beyonce in public and intimate moments, and will profile the star from her childhood in Houston, TX through her recording career, marriage to mogul Jay-Z and the birth of Blue Ivy.

From the looks of it, Blue Ivy will have many more yacht vacations in her future.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
