Mariah's 1.5 Million Dollar Christmas Present

Mariah Carey can look forward to plenty of romantic winter breaks in the future - her husband Nick Cannon has reportedly bought her a luxury ski chalet in Aspen, Colorado.

The rapper/actor, who wed the superstar in April, is said to have splashed out $1.5 million on a five-bedroomed ski lodge in the exclusive snow-filled resort as a Christmas present for his new wife.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Nick is clearly still in the honeymoon phase. He's shocked all their pals by going out of his way to buy Mariah this beautiful sanctuary. He knows Aspen is one of her favourite places in the world so this is his early Christmas present to her."
