Mariah Carey & James Packer Split; Nick Cannon Dating Again?

While it's been rumored for weeks that Mariah Carey has been pushing Nick Cannon to hurry up and except the terms of their divorce so she can turn around and marry her new boyfriend, James Packer, it seems that it may been for naught. According to the latest gossip news updates, Mariah has blown it with the billionaire Aussie, who is now looking to split instead of continuing to plan their lavish weeding. Meanwhile, Cannon is said to be dating again as well. Word has it that the 34-year-old entertainment mogul is seeing former America's Got Talent contestant Samantha Johnson now that the show is over.

Not that long ago it seemed that Mariah Carey and James Packer were on the fast track to be married by the end of next year, but it seems that things may have changed.

One source in the latest September 28, issue of Life & Style explained things were moving along smoothly until James started to get the feeling that Carey would be more than he bargained for if their romance ever started to unravel:

"Once James wrapped his head around all the drama he'd be signing up for with Mariah, he got cold feet and canceled the wedding.

"James had urged Maria Mariah to give Nick a lump sum payout in the ballpark of $25 million to be done with him once and for all, but Mariah still has so much anger towards Nick that she still isn't giving an inch on the finical settlement.

"Seeing how vindictive she can be raised a major red flag."

It wasn't just all Mariah's rage towards Nick that has Packer thinking that it's time to go before he gets in too deep.

According to L&S' informant, James thought Mariah would be his ticket to finally expanding his family, but the Las Vegas singer supposedly shut down any and all plans to bring a new babies on board:

"She said she didn't want to gain the weight, but when he suggested adopting, she didn't want to do that either.

"It's all getting to be too much for James...[he] is trying to be a gentleman, but he can't wait to be free of Mariah and her crazy ways."

Although Nick Cannon hasn't officially confirmed anything yet, the America's Got Talent host is said to be dating former Season 10 contestant, Samantha Johnson, now that the show has wrapped.

The informant that Star magazine spoke to explained that Samantha's close resemblance to Mariah hasn't been lost on Nick; in fact, Cannon loves how much the ladies seem to look alike (via In Touch):

"Nick obsesses over how much Samantha resembles his ex. He has gotten a kick out of comparing their smiles."

What do you think about the news that Mariah might have blown it with yet another Prince Charming?

Are James and Mariah destined to marry no matter what the tabloids say about them?

Or, will Packer eventually tire of Mariah's drama just the way everyone else has?
