Just days after Valerie Bertinelli wowed the world with her 48-year-old bikini body, Mariah Carey made her dramatic entry into the cougar bikini contest.

Carey frolicked in this leopard-print number with her 28-year-old husband, Nick Cannon, on a Barbados beach on March 27, her 39th birthday.

The couple, who will celebrate their one-year anniversary on April 30, spent a romantic three-day weekend at a secluded beachside villa.

Cannon recently denied he and his new bride were expecting children, which this photo seems to bear out, although Mariah is on the voluptuous side these days.
