Mariah Carey left the set of Ellen Degeneres after filming a show on the set of her Burbank, California studio. The whole interview was about Mariah’s secret wedding to husband Nick Cannon. Here are some excerpts…

On why the wedding was kept a secret…

“Instead of trying to be like, ‘you’re invited, but, shhh, don’t tell anybody,’ we’re just going to have another [wedding] next year,” Carey told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show Tuesday. “[Nick's] plan is to have one every year.”

On how many guests were at the wedding…

“mainly people there to do my hair and help me with the dress.”

On why things were kept so hushed…

“we wanted to be on the beach and we didn’t want other people taking pictures,” said Carey.

On the rumors of the marriage being a publicity stunt…

“We both experienced the hoopla of trying to make something a publicity stunt, which is what everybody thinks, and will think anyway, but we don’t really care about that.”

On the possibility of kids…

“My parents divorced when I was three and I didn’t have many examples of what was the ‘norm,’ ” she says. But with Cannon, she says, “I found the right person.”
