MARIAH CAREY has stripped off on the shoot for her new video – with the help of some nerve-calming booze.
The pop diva wore nothing but a bikini and a pair of platform heels on the rocky shores of Oahu, Hawaii.
Evidently Mariah’s new hubby isn’t getting all precious and possessive over his wife’s much lusted-after body – and for that, NICK CANNON, I applaud you.
But Mariah did require a glass or two of bubbly to get in the mood for strutting her stuff semi-starkers in front of the cameras.
The promo is for the singer’s upcoming single Loving You Long Time.
News of Carey's nuptials last week following a whirlwind two-month romance was shrouded in mystery after representatives for the couple did not comment.
However, in excerpts of an exclusive interview published on People's website, Carey confirmed she had wed for a second time on April 30.
"We really do feel we are soulmates," Carey, 39, told People. "I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me."

Carey has sold around 160 million albums worldwide during a nearly two-decade long recording career.
Last month she dethroned Elvis Presley after passing the King of Rock 'n' Roll's total number of US chart-toppers with her 18th No 1 hit. Only The Beatles, with 20 No.1s, have scored more.
Carey, who was previously married to record label executive Tommy Mottola from 1993 to 1998, is the third best-selling female artist of all time, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
ENERGY equals Mariah Carey squared, apparently. Listening to her 11th studio album you could be forgiven for accusing her of a wild miscalculation. Mariah Carey to the power of 10 would still be off the mark. What is it with today’s divas and their frantic employment of big-shot producers? The services of C “Tricky” Stewart and The Dream, Jermaine Dupri, DJ Toomp, Stargate, Will I Am, Nate “Danjahandz” Hills, James Poysner and Bryan Michael Cox were all necessary to produce something that all sounds pretty much the same.
That “same” is the kind of glossy R&B pop that Carey was partly responsible for creating in the early Nineties under the wing of her former husband, Columbia Records chief Tommy Mottola. Fine but why hasn’t she moved on?
Did Aretha Franklin use half the music business to produce her music? Did Diana Ross? No. They enjoyed strong and enduring relationships with, give or take, one industry giant each: Jerry Wexler and Berry Gordy respectively. The rest was up to them.
And why is a 38-year-old woman trying to sound like she’s 20? Only once does Carey really play her ace card, a five-octave range unleashed on I Wish You Well. Foregrounding her voice, this slow, gospel-soul number sets the pulse racing and tells us more about her than all the multi-tracked cooing and caterwauling put together.
But we’re really scratching around for tunes here. The single Touch My Body and I’m That Chick have something but, mostly, this is very hard work indeed. Video:Mariah Carey E=MC² Album Trailer Source TAGS:Mariah Carey, music, Mariah Carey share:
