Mariah Carey's pal: 'She'd be a great mother'

Mariah Carey would "absolutely" be a great mother, the singer's pal, Tyler Perry, says.

"Her baby would be in Gucci, Chanel and diamonds from birth," Perry said, speaking at Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World party in New York City Thursday.

Perry also joked he was "upset" about Mariah's marriage to Nick Cannon.

"She didn't tell me she was married!" he said. "We've been talking and you don't tell me you're getting married? What's that about?"

But Perry won’t hold it against her.

"She is a wonderful, wonderful woman," he says. "So I'm just joking around."
