Nick Cannon doesn't want his children to be famous.
The 'America's Got Talent' host insists he and wife Mariah Carey feel they should share pictures of three-year-old Moroccan and Monroe on their social media accounts because the twins have "fans", but he doesn't want them to pursue showbiz careers of their own.
He said: "I actually don't want them to be in the business, but I understand that people have fallen in love with them and [they have] fans and stuff."
However, Nick and Mariah are releasing a children's book, 'Roc and Roe's 12 Days of Christmas', which features the youngsters as their main characters and the 'Wild 'N Out' star is delighted to see his kids "come to life" in print.
He said: "They're like the new Raggedy Ann and Andy, the adventures of Roc 'n' Roe,' to see my kids come to life in a story book and all this other stuff."
In 2012, the 33-year-old star was diagnosed with autoimmune disease lupus and has learned the best way to fight bouts of chronic fatigue is to stay as busy as possible.
He explained in an interview with E! News: "So my concept is, the more that I go and the more that I push and I stay on that regimen [in the gym, eating right], it kinda keeps me going so my body doesn't get the opportunity to kinda be like, 'Oh, I'm tired.' "

Ella Henderson claims her new boyfriend is "so supportive" of her career.
The 'Ghost' singer, who has been dating Matt Harvey, who lives in her hometown of Grimsby in Lincolnshire, East England, since January, is happier than ever, particularly as she wasn't looking for love when she met the engineer.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I don't want to jinx anything, but it's been one of the happiest points in my life.
"He's so supportive of me and it's going great right now. My man and my family are the things that bring something different to my life and keep me grounded.
"This year I wanted to focus on myself and my career, so finding a relationship was unexpected. It's just like this bonus thing that makes me so happy."
The 18-year-old singer - who shot to fame after appearing on 'The X Factor' in 2012 - admits her career success is "surreal" for Matt, but she credits her relationship with her first proper boyfriend for keeping her down to earth.
She said: "It must be surreal for my boyfriend to see the situation I'm in now. Him and family must think, 'Oh, how can we make her happy?' She's got everything she ever dreamed of. But it's the normal things, like sitting at home watching a film with him, that can make you the happiest at times.
"It's that normality - you can't beat it. Without them I wouldn't be the grounded girl that I am and I plan on staying that way."
Ella releases her debut album 'Chapter One' in September and has had plenty of advice from Simon Cowell, who signed her to his Syco record label.
She said: "When I sat down at first with Simon Cowell he said, 'Whether this takes three months or three years, it doesn't matter. This has got to feel right.' So I waited until I felt ready. I didn't want to do anything half-hearted."

Cheryl Cole enjoyed a rose-themed 31st birthday party over the weekend.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer, who infamously got a rose tattoo that covered her lower back and entire butt last year, was treated to a lavish three-tier birthday cake adorned in the thorny flowers and several bouquets of red roses.
It's not clear who organised the surprise celebration, but the birthday girl - who officially turned 31 yesterday (30.06.14) - looked pleased as she posed for a picture on Instagram with a cocktail in hand, in front of the roses and a romantic arrangement of candles.
Cheryl captioned the picture: "Happy birthday to me!! such a beautiful night... Thank you for all your well wishes #stunning#surprise (sic)"
The brunette beauty - who recently began dating French restaurant owner Jean-Bernard Fernardez-Versini - declared the impromptu bash her "best birthday ever" in another Instagram shot of her sumptuous birthday cake.
She wrote: "Red velvet Rose decorated Birthday cake #AllRoserrrything #Bestbirthdayever thank you for your messages (sic)"
Cheryl continued the birthday fun on her actual birthday on Monday, as she was thrown another party on a private plane on the way to 'X Factor' auditions in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The star posted a snap with Jean-Bernard and her fellow talent show judges Mel B and Simon Cowell, who all sported party hats.
She wrote: "Birthday selfies on the way to Edinburgh yes. That is Simon in a blue party hat #blame@officialmelb (sic)"

Adam Thomas has never been happier.
The 26-year-old actor - who plays Adam Barton on 'Emmerdale' - has had the best year of his life as he awaits the birth of his first child with his long-term girlfriend Caroline Davy.
He told The Sun: "This has been my best year ever -- at work and outside of work -- and I can't wait for what happens next.
"Life's honestly the best it's ever been. Everything I'm doing is really exciting -- I feel very lucky."
The former 'Waterloo Road' actor - who has starred on the ITV soap since 2009 - admitted his personal life is a world away from that of his troubled character.
A recent explosive storyline saw the young farmer confront his uncle, James Barton (Bill Ward) with a shotgun after it was revealed he was actually his father
Adam said: "Family is everything to me so I can completely see where Adam is coming from. He's a real family man but he's so lost at the moment. He's in turmoil.
"Everything he thought he knew, everything he thought was real has been taken away from him. It seems like his whole life has been a lie.
"The man he's grown up with isn't his dad at all and he's pretty angry about that, as anyone would be."
Meanwhile, Adam - whose first child is due this autumn - says he and his dance teacher partner are in no rush to get married.
He said: "Not yet. We're very happy but I think we've got enough on our plates at the minute.
"I'm sure we will one day but for now it's one step at a time."

Kasabian have announced an autumn arena tour.
The rockers - who had the honour of closing this year's Glastonbury festival on sunday night (29.06.14) - are set to embark on an arena tour of the UK and Ireland this November - including a five-night stint at the O2 Brixton academy.
The tour is sure to be a hit after the four-piece band secured their fourth consecutive number one album '48.13' this year and played a homecoming show at Leicester's Victoria Park to a crowd of 50,000 fans.
Meanwhile, lead singer Tom Meighan, became visibly emotional as the band brought the iconic Worthy Farm event in Somerset, South West England to a close.
He said during the performance: "Ten years ago we opened The Other Stage - we'd been up all night of course. Seriously, thank you for this."
Kasabian performed fan favourites like 'Shoot The Runner', which featured a sample of Kanye West's 'Black Skinhead' and 'Processed Beats', while at another point, guitarist Serge Pizzorno performed a bluesy cover of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' with just a guitar and a trumpet, while Tom left the stage for a break.
The 50,000-strong crowd were treated to a surprise appearance from 'Mighty Boosh' joker Noel Fielding during 'Vlad The Impaler'.
Dressed in a turban with blood streaked across his face, Noel bounded across the stage in a cape as Tom chanted "Bobby Womack see you on the other side", a tribute to the legendary soul singer who passed away on Friday (27.06.14).
Kasabian finished their stellar set with a cover of Fatboy Slim's 'Praise You' and 'L.S.F'.

Tom Hardy has joined the cast of 'The Revenant'. The 36-year-old actor will star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the upcoming revenge thriller, which is based on the Michael Punke novel of the same name, Deadline reports. It marks a reunion between th...

John Cleese wants to make a TV show about religion.
The 74-year-old actor has hinted that once Monty Python's 10 live shows at London's The O2 arena, 'Monty Python Live (Mostly): One Down, Five To Go', come to an end, he plans to turn his hand to writing for television and find a network to develop a historical project he has in mind.
He revealed during a press conference at the London Palladium theatre: "In a year's time I think there will be surprises. For example, I suggested to ITV I wanted to do a series about religion and what it would be if the churches hadn't f***ed it up. I thought it would be very interesting but [the head of ITV's] eyes just glazed over. So I'll have to see if anyone else wants it."
Michael Palin chuckled: "'How The Churches F***ed It Up', I can just see the title now, coming to you on ITV. With jolly John Cleese!"
The five remaining Pythons - John, Michael, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam - will perform on stage for the very last time together on July 20 and 'The Last Night of the Pythons' is set to be broadcast in 1800 cinemas around the world and shown live on UKTV Gold.
When questioned about the decision to choose UKTV Gold over the BBC, which aired the original 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' series from 1969 until 1974, John mused: "Why doesn't BBC air Python? They have the rights and they haven't put us out for ages. But quite honestly, somebody else made the decision."
This comes after the 'Fawlty Towers' star blasted the BBC for not understanding the true nature of comedy.
He said: "One of the things that makes me saddest about the way the country has gone since I was young is the BBC. I look back at what was really a magnificent institution that, for economic reasons, has been thinned down and become something very different."
New tickets for 'Monty Python Live' go on sale today (01.07.14), while this week sees the release of the complete collection of all nine albums, 'Monty Python's Total Rubbish', by Virgin EMI Records.

Michelle Collins says fans take pity on her after leaving 'Coronation Street'.
The 52-year-old actress - who previously starred in 'EastEnders' - quit her role as pub landlady Stella Price earlier this year, but she reveals that viewers assume she's out of work and down on her luck because she's no longer on the hit show.
The amused star laughed: "They think, 'Oh poor thing, you're obviously not doing anything else.' "
Michelle left 'Corrie' to move back to London and spend more time with her daughter, Maia, before she begins university.
She added to HELLO! magazine: "It's nice not having a job 24/7 so I can be with her. It's a bit sad, I have another year and then she goes off."
Michelle has landed herself a guest role on 'Casualty', making her first appearance next month, and the actress admits she finds it hard to take long breaks from work - even if she's earned a holiday.
She said: "I was going to have a rest and then, knowing me, I didn't. In 'Casualty' I play Samantha, who runs an assault course and falls for paramedic Jeff (Matt Bardock).
"Some of the things they had me do were unbelievable. I thought I can't complain because they'll think I'm a right diva and it's only my first day."

Keri Russell thinks Andy Serkis is an "unbelievable" actor.
'The Americans' star, who takes on the role of Ellie in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes', claims her co-star - who provides the voice for ape leader Caesar in the film as well as that of Golum in 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' movies - isn't given enough recognition in the film industry.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "Andy is just so good. That was really the treat of doing this movie. I really hope people start paying attention to him. He's unbelievable."
Serkis' character leads a nation of genetically evolved apes as they are threatened by a band of human survivors of a devastating virus which was unleashed a decade earlier, and the film's screenwriters claim it was his talent that allowed Caesar to speak.
Rick Jaff and Amanda Silver explained: "The decision to have him speak and have words - it was really Andy, [We] credit him with figuring out Caesar's voice."
'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' is scheduled for release in the UK on July 17 2014.

John Barrowman has "champagne problems".
The singer-and-actor is unable to tour his new album 'You Raise Me Up' until next May due to his upcoming TV commitments, but he insists he would never moan about his hectic schedule because he loves his job.
Speaking to Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2, he said: "The tour doesn't start for a year because I don't have time, I'd love to do one in the next couple of months but I've got 'Arrow', and TV shows with the BBC and Channel 4.
"You've just got to pull it out - as my mum says, you can sleep when you're dead ... It's a busy life and there are times you have to make decisions, it's champagne problems to have though, I cannot complain, I don't complain and I love it."
John, 47, is particularly "proud" of his album as it was funded by his fans and he believes that's given him more freedom to make the music his audience want to hear.
He said: "I'm probably the most proud of this album than any of the others I've done, I think it's the best I've ever done and I say that not only because of the brilliant arrangements because my fans funded the album, they basically paid for it.
"Rather than them handing over the money, there's a system called pledging, so we would do things like afternoon tea, let's say they paid £100, they got the CD and they had tea with me, there was about 50 people who did that with me, so I really feel my fans were a part of this and it's dedicated to them."

Helena Bonham Carter is worried she's doing "badly" at parenting.
The 48-year-old actress admits finds it difficult juggling her career with caring for Billy, 10, and Nell, six - her children with partner Tim Barton - and she is often left feeling she isn't doing anything as well as she could.
She told HELLO! magazine: "Juggling motherhood with acting is hard and I'm always dropping balls all the time. You always feel you're doing everything badly.
"Tim's taking time out now and I think I'll do the same. We're trying to be parents, which is harder than anything else."
Helena knows she is in a "lucky" position with her career, but admits her busy schedule leaves her exhausted.
She explained: "The multi-tasking is tiring. I'm not saying it's a big deal, not if you enjoy your work, and I'm lucky enough to make a living from something I love, but there's always something."
Despite the actress' mother Elena suffering a breakdown when Helena was five, and her father Raymond left paralysed and partially-blind after surgery for a brain tumour seven years later, the 'Alice in Wonderland' star insists she had a perfect childhood and hopes to be as good a parent as her own.
She said: "I had a very, very happy upbringing. I hope I can be half as good a parent to my children as they have been to me. And I know Tim is a great father."

The Who plan to record a new album this summer.
The 'My Generation' rockers - who haven't released new material since 2006 album 'Endless Wire' - already have three demos written and plan to do more work on them ahead of their 50th anniversary tour later this year.
Speaking at a press conference at London's Ronnie Scott's yesterday (30.06.14), guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend said: "I gave Roger [Daltrey] three demos of three rough songs that I've knocked up.
"I've been doing a lot of recording work and writing recently with a whole wide variety of people and quite a lot of collaborations, I've done some TV music and I've collaborated with a lot of other writers which is not something I've done a lot in the past.
"I came up with three songs so I thought I just send them Roger before we do this particular thing and happily he likes them. So now we're considering getting into the studio in the summer and do a couple of things that might trigger something further down the road. So the answer is yes we're hoping to record."
Pete wants to work on the album in a "more basic" way than usual, though he warned the music could be "prog rock".
He added: "I just mentioned to Roger before we came on that I really liked the basic pub rock sound of the album that he did with Wilko Johnson and we may try and make the record in a slightly more basic way than we usually work, although my writing these days is pretty complicated. It's more prog rock than pub rock."
