Whats the big deal?

The picture itself. Not so much Nick and Mariah. But the way it's posed and the set-up.

No big deal that they did it, but the execution is terrible. The photographer & stylist should be kicked in the ass. What could have been a beautiful & etherial pregnancy photo, looks exploitive, tacky & STANK.

Pregnant women posing naked is such a cliche. It would be more interesting if she were wearing a sheet with holes cut out for her eyes.

That second statement was just wrong. It's one thing if you don't like Mariah's music, but that was a low blow.

Having said that, being pregnant and naked on the cover of a magazine has been a cliche ever since people tried to copy Demi Moore. But who are we to complain about a couple showing their happiness to the world.

I was just teasing. I LOVE Mariah's music. I have everything she's ever done...

But like someone else said, this is just tacky! The shots don't flatter her at all.

RIGHT! I got no problems with Mariah and Nick wanting to do that picture because pictures like that are often BEAUTIFUL but the photographer fucked this up.

That's right. As I said in my post, it looks like some amateur did it. A friend of theirs or something. Make-up, lightening...etc... it's all wrong.

agree it looked tacky... and the lighting was strange...

i think nick is trying to elevate his celebrity by posing in these pics. I think he loves mariah but i always felt he was using her for his status as well...

I didn't see anybody all disgusted when Demi, Britney, Christina and Claudia did it.

Co-sign. And I think she looks about as good as she ever does (I don't really find her attractive). As far as the pics and article go, isn't this the magazine that paid them a truckload of money? If not, they still dropped a trunk full on, to be sure.

Oh lord... the concept isn't bad. It could've looked classy, but it comes across... tasteless. What's with her face?

She's pregnant and she's gained 50 lbs.

Exactly! I think it's a very cute and tasteful picture. I was never that much of a Nick Cannon fan but I do happen to think that he and Mimi make an adorable couple.

Mimi is going to have a lot of weight to lose after those babies arrive. I saw her on one of those shopping networks last month and she was huge! The funny thing was she was sitting on the sofa, posing the entire time.

Didn't Demi Moore do something like this? In any case, who cares? The pose looks like Janet's pose for RS back in the day.

Some attempt to look badass while preggo. But that headline ain't helpin' none...

It's ironic how the magazine is titled OK!

Exactly, that's the first thing it reminded me of when I saw it. Again, the concept isn't bad...

But they had good lightening and editing.

Yeah, I don't get it either.
