MARIAH CAREY and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary by becoming parents to a baby girl and boy.

When Tattle's friends Lauren and Michael had twins, we had never before heard so much sound come out of creatures so small. Given their genes, we can only imagine how loud Mariah's kids can screech.

The babes were born Saturday at 12:07 p.m. at a secret hospital in L.A. Publicist Cindi Berger says the girl popped out first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long; her brother was 5 pounds, 6 ounces, and 19 inches.

No names yet.

Nick drove Mariah to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said Mariah, 41, was calm, thinking she was having another false alarm.

Story continues below.

Cannon, 30, was a mess. He was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.

"It was like right out of an 'I Love Lucy' skit," said Berger, using a TV show reference that may be on its last generation.

The couple listened to Mariah's "We Belong Together" after the children were born.

"My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life!" Nick Tweeted following the birth of the twins. "I won't ever be able to top this!"

Come on, Nick, surely some acrobat will juggle knives on "America's Got Talent."

"I'm in the happiest place I've ever been in my life," he added yesterday. "I never had more amazing things happening. I am humbled by God's Favor!"

Royal wedding update

 In Philadelphia, the Duke and Duchess were two movie theaters once on Chestnut Street. So unless people are going to start calling Tattle the Earl of Callowhill, in our royal wedding follow-ups we will refer to the newlyweds as Will and Kate.

The couple has delayed their honeymoon, it seems, because Will has to return to work tomorrow. They are presently enjoying a few days of R&R at an undisclosed UK location.

A palace spokesperson said, "The locations of both their private weekend before [William] returns to work and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance."

* As for the reception(s), Will and Kate's first dance was to a live rendition of Elton John's "Your Song" (a favorite of the late Princess Diana) sung by British pop star Ellie Goulding.

"Ellie's performance was spectacular," said a palace source, adding that even Prince Charles and Camilla ended up slow-dancing.
