Mariah's man splashes out $1m on bracelet

Mariah Carey's lover has splashed out £1 million on the diamond bracelet that Julia Roberts wore to the Oscars. Mega-rich Spanish singer Luis Miguel amazed Mariah with the gift aboard his luxury yacht in Puerto Banus in southern Spain.

He bought it to celebrate Mariah netting a three-album deal with Virgin worth £60 million. It is the same bracelet that top jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels loaned to Julia to wear at the Oscars last month.

The bracelet is one of the most expensive in the world. A source close to the singer tells me: "When it comes to gifts for Mariah, Luis doesn't hold back. He is constantly showering her with expensive presents - but this is the most expensive yet. She now has a massive collection of diamonds because he keeps giving her more and more. But this bracelet really took her breath away. It is absolutely beautiful and the whole world saw how big it is at the Oscars. This shows how much Luis loves Mariah."

Mariah is using her time in Spain to record the soundtrack album to the appropriately-named All That Glitters, the movie she is starring in as a young singer desperate for fame. She is set to become the richest female recording artist in the world after leaving Sony to sign for Virgin two weeks ago. The new deal will earn her £20million for every new album she releases.

Mariah and Luis have been dating since meeting in Aspen, Colorado, at Christmas two years ago. Earlier this year he hid a diamond in the bottom of a box of popcorn he gave her at the cinema.
