Mariah Carey Is Ready For A Baby Girl!

The pop superstar has prematurely dropped $200K on furniture, including a pink crib and highchair, from a children's store in San Francisco for the new Hollywood home she intends to buy with hubby Nick Cannon.

A source close to the diva reveals she has made an offer on the David Saperstein estate in the exclusive western L.A. neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Her neighbors would be the Beckham brood and Hugh Hefner.

The French Chateau-style mansion, which has been on the market for months at the asking price of $125 million, is a minipalace with Italian marble walls, French limestone floors, gold-embossed leather wall coverings, a nine-car garage, ballroom, private running track and movie screening room.

"It's 45,000 square feet and looks like a European castle," says the insider. "It's so big, it can't even be called a mansion - it's similar to Buckingham Palace!"

But the surroundings aren't quite enough for Mariah. She's planning on putting in a few touches of her own, most notably the nursery. Says our source, "She has asked [interior decorator] Kenneth Bordewick to advise on her new home and has requested an all-pink nursery. It's going to be over the top!"

Despite plans for the baby room, there is no indication that the singer is pregnant. But an insider tells us, "Mariah has tossed around the idea of adopting."

Her husband, meanwhile, seems to have a different time line when it comes to having a brood.

Nick, who at age 28 is 10 years Mariah's junior, recently joked that he was planning on kids "soon. Like a couple [of] years soon!"
