NICK CANNON STANDS BY HIS WIFEY

Looks like spies have found out why Nick got pulled away from his bachelor party at Foxwoods recently where he was hanging with Diddy and Quincy Jones.

The NY Post reports that Carey wanted her new hubby to keep her company at a photo shoot for Elle magazine, according to insiders. "Nick came running to her side very early Sunday morning and stayed with her until 5:30 a.m. when they wrapped," said the source. "They were super affectionate." Also on hand was Carey's personal assistant, who brought a blender and continuously "made protein shakes for Mariah."
