Diva Mariah Carey helped make a dream come true for a gay man and his partner by allowing them to get engaged in the middle of her show.

Maurie Sherman, 31, proposed to his Mariah Carey-superfan boyfriend, Matthew Almeida, 26, at Mariah's concert this past Saturday at the Pearl at the Palms resort in Las Vegas. The couple waited backstage before being taken to the stage, where Maurie proposed with a ring made of candy -- just like the one Mariah Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, gave the superstar.

"Three years ago, Matthew said that I would be allowed to ask him to marry me if I ever got him to meet [Mariah]," Maurie said to the crowd. "Matthew, Mariah, Mariah, Matthew. I'm hoping that my Mariah will accept his Nick Cannon," he said.

Nick Cannon certainly enjoyed having his hands full when he donated his time to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America at the American Eagle store in LA on Nov. 24. "I've always been a kid person, from my work on Nickelodeon shows to just being a person who loves children," Nick, 28, told Life & Style exclusively. "When you see a kid — that's innocence! It reminds you of all the good stuff the world has to offer."

Okay, but is he just a little bit nervous about becoming a dad? Nope. "I think I'll be good at it!" Nick says.

Nick may have been thinking about his future family with Mariah Carey when he suddenly got emotional at the Big Brothers Big Sisters event.

The kids interrupted his interview with Life & Style to present him with handmade thank-you cards, leaving him visibly moved. "When you can really touch kids' lives and make their day, it's always cool," he said.
