Mariah Carey is preparing for an early Christmas, but first she celebrated her husband Nick Cannon’s 30th birthday at a bash she hosted at Lavo in New York City on Friday night (Oct. 8). The smiling couple, rumored to be expecting their first child, cut the turntable-themed cake and mingled with guests including TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. They will bring the party to the West Coast with a second celebration tonight at Universal Studios.

Nick can’t wait to become a father, but he’s not looking for his offspring to follow in his showbiz footsteps. “I want my kids to be brain surgeons! Astronauts are what I’m looking for. I’m aiming high!” the host of “America’s Got Talent” told In Touch Weekly.
