New mom Mariah Carey revealed her fabulous post-baby body and announced that she will now be stepping up as the new face of Jenny Craig. MiMi got candid in an interview with Oprah’s BFF Gayle King, addressing her eyebrow-raising remarks about her marriage to Nick Cannon in an interview with Barbara Walters last month. The diva says that she and Nick have never been better, and that she thinks the public was just surprised that she gave a real answer instead of a “Hollywood” answer about marriage.
