Mariah Carey is showing off her slimmer bod on the cover of the upcoming May issue of Shape magazine. According to the magazine, Mimi lost 30 pounds since she gave birth to her twin babies last year ... and she's clearly one confidence diva that's she's getting her figure back.

Looking GREAT Mimi!

Not a good look! Rapper G. Dep stunned police by suddenly confessing to a nearly 20-year-old shooting, then went to trial arguing that his admission might have been mismatched to a murder.

The rapper, who flirted with fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s, was convicted Tuesday in an unusual cold case that he both reopened and ultimately fought, though he never contested his December 2010 admission. Indeed, he and his lawyers characterized it as a bid to unburden and redeem himself. The 37-year-old rapper hugged his lawyer after hearing the jury's verdict, which leaves him facing at least 15 years in prison at his sentencing, set for May 8. Regardless, he remains convinced he did the right thing by coming forward, defense lawyer Anthony Ricco said.

"He has a conscience and a heart, and his conscience and his heart brought him to where he is today," Ricco said after court. ". He's probably making the most powerful statement a rapper of his era can make, which is to be accountable and to do the right thing." Prosecutors, though, saw G. Dep as a man who'd committed a deliberate and deadly crime, then provided the proof years later.

"Eighteen years ago, the defendant made a calculated decision to steal from, shoot, and kill an innocent person on the street," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement.

 

I must say First Lady Michelle Obama was one "sassy" lady in her high school days. The last time Michelle Obama appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," she and the talk show host had a push-up contest. This time, the two compared high school prom photos.

Ellen DeGeneres showed her own prom picture - and then the first lady's - when Mrs. Obama appeared on the show from Jacksonville, Fla., with a group of teenage girls from military families. "Now, Mrs. Obama, I don't think I've ever shown you my prom picture," DeGeneres said. "I just wanted to - I want to show you my prom picture first."

The host joked that her prom dress - a long, plaid number - "was a tablecloth at one point." Then viewers got to see Mrs. Obama's prom photo, which shows her seated in a wicker chair wearing a metallic gold dress with a thigh-high slit.

"That split was a little high," the first lady admitted. "I don't know if I'd let my kids go out in a split that high, so let's not show this to Malia and Sasha."
