Aradiant Mariah Carey embraced the festive season Friday night with a performance at the Rockefeller Centre in New York.

The pregnant star kept her baby bump covered, as she took to the stage in a big red coat, which wore over a black top, leggings and sky-high boots.

She was recording a segment for the Charlie Brown Christmas special, which will form part of the Rockefeller Centre’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony to be aired later this month.

The 41-year-old, who has not revealed her due date, sang her single Oh Santa! from her new release, Merry Christmas II You.

She has dedicated the holiday album to her unborn child.

While her husband Nick Cannon, 30, calls her the ‘queen of Christmas’, the couple have not yet made plans for the day.

She says: “I usually go to Aspen, but I’m not supposed to go there this year because I can’t ski and I can’t really do any of that stuff being pregnant. So, I’m just going to have to figure out where else we’re going to go.”

Mariah finally confirmed her pregnancy last month in an interview on NBC’s Today show.

Christina Aguilera reveals she has FIVE Christmas trees at her home (including a ‘movie star’ fir with Marilyn Monroe ornaments)

Christina Aguilera has revealed she really goes over the top at Christmas by decorating her home with five different trees.

The 29-year-old singer said she decorates all the firs with different themes — including an Asian tree, a ‘theatrical’ tree and a cartoon tree.

“For my bedroom it’s a sort of Asian theme, because I have an obsession and love for Japan,” she said.

“For my theatre there’s a more theatrical theme, where you have ornaments that revolve around Marilyn and movie stars. For the game room tree, which is like the main one in the house, you have ornaments that revolve around really fun cartoon characters. It’s a free for all. Then you have the foyer tree that is very homey and earthy. It’s got mittens and cosy things. I get it from my mom. I’m very festive.”

Aguilera, who split from husband Jordan Bratman in September, opened up about her love of Christmas during an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ US chat show.

The Burlesque star said she was looking forward to the ‘new chapter’ of her life and concentrating on being a good mother to her two-yearold son Max.

Nicole Scherzinger keeps her distance…

You’d have thought that having such a chic and fashionable girlfriend would be an advantage when it came to choosing your own attire. But clearly Lewis Hamilton failed to seek Nicole Scherzinger’s advice when he bought that body warmer, with the look on her face saying it all.

She appeared to be walking one step behind her Formula One beau as they went out for dinner in London, Saturday night.

The Pussycat Doll, 32, kept her hands to herself and appeared to keep her distance as she and her boyfriend of two years arrived at the Shanghai Blues restaurant in Holborn. She also kept her eyes down, which was hardly surprising because they would probably only hurt too much if she kept them on Hamilton’s top half.

The McLaren driver, 25, wore a body warmer that not only has unusual brown leather shoulder patches, but also looked like it had been pixelated.

But even putting the hideous jacket aside, Hamilton hadn’t appeared to make much of an effort to dress for dinner unlike his girlfriend. Nicole looked her usual gorgeous self in a fitted black dress with a lace top that clung to her curvaceous figure in all the right places.

She teamed the dress with her trademark towering black heels, her long black hair looking sleek and glossy.

Nicole and Lewis were out celebrating the end of the Formula One season, which saw him come second in the last race in Abu Dhabi last Sunday and fourth overall.
