Mariah Carey has slammed rumours that she is expecting her first child with husband Nick Cannon.

A spokesman for the 'Hero' singer has denied the reports after the crooner sparked pregnancy speculation at the Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles on Friday.

"I have a lot of new acting projects coming up... But there's also something else very special on the way. I can't say any more," the Daily Star quoted her as telling reporters.

Carey then fuelled the rumours when she reportedly refused to drink at an after party, reports the Daily Star.

However, talking to GossipCop.com, a spokesperson for the pop star has dismissed the speculation, saying there's "no truth" to the pregnancy reports. (ANI)
