Nick Cannon Shouldn't Be Worried About 'Artistic' Nude Photo Shoot

According to US Magazine, songstress Mariah Carey, who is pregnant with twins, and husband Nick Cannon partook in a nude photo shoot in celebration of Carey's pregnancy. Though the shots will not be publicized, they will hang on the walls of the couple's home. Cannon is more than little worried about the effects they'll have on his children.

Cannon brought up the shoot on his radio show, "Rollin' With Nick Cannon," Tuesday, saying, "My children are going to have to see these pictures. . .It's a little weird. When they get older and their friends come over. . .they will see the pictures and say, 'Your daddy's butt-naked.'"

No matter how awkward, the celebratory photo shoot isn't a surprising move, as Carey and Cannon dealt with a very difficult miscarriage a little over two years ago. At Christmas in 2008, the couple was preparing to announce the pregnancy to their families when they were hit with the devastating news from Carey's doctor that the pregnancy was not successful.

Rumors flew that Carey was pregnant again late last year until the couple finally confirmed the news in October 2010 and announced in December they were having twins.

Carey has already followed in the footsteps of other celebrities by showing off her very pregnant body for April's Life & Style magazine. The practice of posing nude while pregnant isn't uncommon anymore; we can thank Demi Moore for that. The actress stunned the world when she appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991, at the time very pregnant with her daughter Scout with husband Bruce Willis.

Those who have followed in Moore's footsteps include the likes of Danica McKellar in Maxim, Christina Aguilera in Marie Claire, Milla Jovivich in Jane, Britney Spears in Harper's Bazaar, Cindy Crawford in W, Claudia Schiffer in Germany's Vogue and Monica Bellucci in Italy's Vanity Fair.

Though Cannon has a right to worry a bit about the effects the photo shoot will have on his children, he can rest assured that, no matter what, they'll undoubtedly know how very loved they are. He and Carey might just have some explaining to do.
