MARIAH HITS UP TIME

Mariah Carey and new hubby Nick Cannon made their first public appearance Thursday night, hitting the Big Apple for Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" gala.


Carey, wearing a silver minidress, sang at the party, held at New York City's Lincoln Center.



Approached at the gala, friend of the couple's director Tyler Perry, joked he had "a major issue with [Mariah]." "You know I want to take you out and you don’t tell me you’re getting married?," he said. "What's that about!" All kidding aside, he added she's an "amazing person. I am really happy for her."
