Mariah Carey: Christmas Shopping Cutie

Continuing her holiday in Aspen, Colorado, Mariah Carey was spotted out and about yesterday doing some last-minute shopping with her pooch pal.

The “Always Be My Baby” songstress made the most of her celebrity status, stopping into the Gucci boutique and Ralph Lauren store sporting an unmistakable red winter coat and matching fluffy red boots as she chatted on her mobile phone.

And it sounds like Mariah’s husband Nick Cannon is in for a treat tomorrow - Carey says she’s ready to wow him with her mad cooking skills.

She told press, "I am going to cook at Christmas time,” noting that in addition to the usual fare, she’s also planning on preparing her late father’s specialty, linguini and clams. “That was my father's recipe and he gave me the recipe... Most people who have my linguini and clams have never eaten that before and then it becomes their favorite thing."
