Carey looks to adoption

At her marriage re-commitment fete Friday with Nick Cannon at their Beverly Hills home, Mariah Carey spoke openly about the couple's deep desire to have a child, a guest tells me.

The singing superstar's recent weight gain has reportedly been due to fertility treatments Carey has been undergoing.

''Not that a few extra pounds on Mariah bothers Nick at all. He likes his woman with a bit of meat on her bones,'' the friend said with a laugh.While Carey has continued to hope she and Cannon can conceive a baby, she also reportedly is now looking into adopting.A number of Carey chums report the entertainer has been deeply moved by the story of Sandra Bullock's long-secret adoption of little Louis -- first revealed publicly last week in that People magazine cover story.
