Movers & Shakers: Mariah, Paula & May Day
May 6, 2008

Mariah Carey jumped 500% on the Movers and Shakers list after reports surfaced an elope with Nick Cannon, who gained 400% this week. The pair first got together while on location in the Caribbean on March 26, reportedly Cannon was cast as the romantic lead in her new video "Bye, Bye." The romance was kept under wraps until Carey showed up at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 26 sporting an enormous engagement ring. Days later the couple were married at Carey's private estate in the Bahamas.

Paul Abdul gained 427% after her latest American Idol blunder. Abdul apparently was confused when series' producers decided to change the judging format from the usual evaluation of each contestant after singing to waiting until all five singers finished performing. When asked to review the first performance of Jason Castro, Abdul gave her opinions on two performances, even though each contestant had only sung one song. Fellow judge Simon Cowell also admitted the switch had been difficult, stating, "This was officially the strangest show we've ever done, but I like that. It's kind of a bit chaotic tonight."

May Day had searchers curious last week, rising 145%. May Day occurs on May 1 and is celebrated in many different countries for a variety of reasons. In several countries, May Day is considered International Workers' Day, or Labor Day, which observes the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. In the U.S. May Day is the celebration of spring, usually accompanied by a gift of flowers. One of the most popularly known May Day traditions is to hang a basket full of spring flowers or other small gifts on a neighbor's doorknob.
