'She doesn't know who Kim Kardashian is': Nick Cannon claims wife Mariah Carey isn't familiar with the world's most famous reality star he once bedded

She is one of the most photographed celebrities in the world and is usually seen on endless covers of magazines and billboards, as well as the TV screens.
But according to Nick Cannon, his wife Mariah Carey has no idea who Kim Kardashian is.
In what appears to be an ongoing effort at digging himself out of a hole after he listed Kim as one of his past conquests, Nick made the extraordinary claim on Wednesday on The Howard Stern Show.

Nick Cannon reveals all about Mariah Carey and his celeb...

'She doesn’t even know who Kim Kardashian is,' he told Stern. 'She doesn’t pay attention to that.'
And while he recently told Australia's 2DayFM hosts Jules Lund, Merrick Watts and Sophie Monk that he regretted listing his conquests, he also happily gushed to Stern about he and Mariah's 'amazing' sex life.
'She doesn’t care when I talk about our sex life because our sex life is amazing,' he said.
Nick told 2DayFM that his wife of six years wasn't impressed with his recent admissions that were revealed in an interview with radio show Power 106, last week.
'I thought I was being coy and cunning by naming someone or people that I actually was in a relationship with,' he said.
'The world knew these, these weren’t like names that, you know, I pulled out of a hat – these are people you’ve seen me on red carpets with, engaged, in love and all of that stuff, so wasn’t like it was new information.' he went on.
'You know sometimes, as my wife says, sometimes I should just keep my big mouth shut.' Nick sheepishly admitted.

Shock confessions: Nick listed some of his past celebrity conquests in US radio interview last week

Last Thursday, Power 106 posted its interview with the star, who discussed everything he could not say on air - including his past conquests and the first time he slept with Mariah.
Nick claimed he had too many ex-lovers to list them all, saying: 'Are you kidding me this is L.A.? That's the whole purpose of it, you have sex with actresses, singers, models.'
When told he could just name five, the star had his list ready: 'That's easy. OK, Mariah Carey, Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks, oh, Kim Kardashian.'
When his celebrity sex list left host Big Boy shocked, the Drumline actor was not afraid to elaborate on sleeping with Kim Kardashian.
Nick told the radio host when he asked about Kim: 'You just forgot because there have been a lot of people since me.'

Realising he had been mean when the host could not stop laughing, the comedian tried to cover his tracks.
Laughing himself, Nick said: 'She's a great girl though. Her family are some of the most incredible people I ever met in my life.'
Going on to spill details about the first time he and Mariah slept together, Nick said: '[The first time was] on our wedding night, honeymoon style in a house in the Bahamas. That's a real woman right there to make you wait.'
After reportedly buying Mariah some new bling last week to make up for his lapses, this morning Nick gushed about his wife, saying: 'She’s just as beautiful on the inside as she is on outside that the rest of the world sees, I mean if not even more beautiful.
'I mean she’s pleasant, she’s nurturing, she’s amazing’ he continued.

Sporting some wild hair this week on the promotional trail, for his new album 'White People Party Music', the 33-year-old also addressed the controversy caused by his white face stunt.
Nick told the 2DayFM breakfast team he wanted to stir up controversy: 'It worked extremely well, it worked better than I actually had planned.'
'I’m a huge fan of people like Sacha Baron Cohen and Andy Kaufman and Johnny Knoxville and all these types of people who put themselves in awkward and uncomfortable positions and get kicked out of places and this is just another character to do that and to have fun with.' Nick said.
'And the people that were ultra sensitive...I wasn’t trying to reach out to them anyway, they were kind of like pawns in my master game of chess that I was trying to do for the most elaborate April Fools joke ever’ the chuffed singer told the radio hosts.
