A carefree Mariah Carey gains 15lbs

“Mariah loves food. Right now she’s making an album and eating everything and anything she wants. She has put on about 15lbs,but she loves the curves,” a source told the publication.

However,the 40-year-old star,who is married to rapper Nick Cannon will undergo a strict fitness regime when she has to promote the LP.

“She’ll definitely tone up again when she releases her album,but as of now,she’s stuffing her face,” the source added.

Mariah recently revealed the stress of recording new material has led to sleepless nights. The ‘Honey’ hitmaker is struggling to drop off at night and has taken to watching her husband Nick Cannon doze peacefully while she is wide awake.

“I just finished working out. Whooo! Quite naturally,’its 5am and I still can’t sleep'(sung like ‘crybaby’ from ‘Rainbow’ 99) lol Who’s up? Nick is too cute when he’s sleep! I wish he didn’t have to work tomorrow so he could help me sleep all day and I could sing all nite (sic)!,” the singer wrote on her Twitter page.
