Mariah Carey does Eminem

Dragging up the past
Mariah dresses up as, and dresses down, Eminem
Good ol' Mariah Carey.
Yes that's her.
Looking a little bit like Eminem in her new video, "Obsessed".
Back in the olden days, like 2001 or something, Maz actually dated the rapper. But things soon went sour, Maz had a break down, and Em ridiculed her in his song "Superman" and on his Anger Management Tour when he played an "alleged" voice mail recording of MC saying, "I heard you were getting back with your ex-wife. Why won’t you see me? Why won’t you call me? You’re not calling me" before launching into his song "Puke".
Oh dear.
It seemed the fued was over until this year when Eminem, on the comeback trail and always a fan of controversy, decided to rap about her in "Bagpipes From Baghdad" on his new album Relapse.
Maz, now married to America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon, was less than thrilled.

Mariah whatever happened to us
Why did we ever have to break-up?
Nick Cannon you better back the f**k up
I'm not playing I want her back you punk

Mariah's "Obsessed" is a not-very-subtle dig at the rapper, who she suggests is obsessed with her (which doesn't actually seem untrue).
Plenty picked up on the subject of the song with the lyrics:

Ooh boy why you so obsessed with me?
Boy I want to know lyin’ that you’re sexin me
When everybody knows it’s clear that you’re upset with me
Oh finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress
Last man on the earth still couldn’t get this

She also makes sly reference to his drug use ("It must be the weed, it must be the e") and short stature ("Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex")
Zing!

You didn't think she'd hide her boobs the whole video, did you?

But now Maz has all but confirmed who the song is about by dressing up as a "male rapper" in her video.
Oh, unless you ask her.
"It was weird but I wasn't playing anyone in particular," she insists. "We were actually inspired by the King of Comedy starring Jerry Lewis and Robert DeNiro. I was just your regular everyday stalker with a few touches of Mean Girls."
Uh-huh.
Your turn Mr Mathers.

Update O’Clock part two: Eminem speaks

Bum Rap

Eminem and Brüno: It's almost like the know each other!

Our favourite little rapper man Eminem has admitted to website Rap Radar that the whole Brüno thing at the MTV Movie Awards was set-up. Would you believe there were still deniers up until now?
“Sacha [Baron Cohen] called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards,” the man sometimes called Marshall Mathers explains. “I'm a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag.
“I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going "nuts" so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it. After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours. Especially after I saw it on air.”
So there you have it.
Take that haters - Eminem wanted the arse in his face!

MTV Movie Awards 2009: Eminem vs Brüno’s B-U-M

Ass like that!
It’s time to relive the MTV Movie Awards moment with Brüno and Eminem from, you know, yeterday, in which Sacha Baron Cohen’s Brüno flew across the auditorium in wings and a jock strap and managed to land on Eminem, leaving his buttocks to rest in the rapper's face.
Oh, just watch it!

MTV Shows

The best bit of the whole thing is when Brüno says "And the winner is Zac Efron!" Poor Zac has NO idea what to do.
The thing I think is crazy is how many people insist that Eminem had no idea it was going to happen.
Oh puh-lease.
I have two things to say about this:
1) Sasha might like getting racist yokels in awkward positions, but he’s not stupid enough to be jeopardising his career by doing that with overly-precious Hollywood types - even if they are only little rappers (Em could still send Fiddy or Dre to get him!). A case in point is the Pamela Anderson scene in Borat, which – however real looking – she had happily admitted was set up.
2) The ‘Brain were in New York for the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards when Eminem went ballistic when Triumph The Insult Comic Dog snuck up next to him during the awards. Oh, have a look! (Sorry about the quality)
Eminem vs. Triumph @ VMA

Eminem later admitted he had over-reacted – and had Triumph appear in the "Ass Like That" video – but backstage the MTV people were freaking out about his reaction. Seriously, imagine what he would have done if an ARSE was put in his FACE and he didn’t know?
Eminem has been a very important to the network and they would not risk getting him mad again.
Oh, and my last point?
My Twitter pal Scott Aukerman, head writer on the awards, confirmed what was already clearly obvious on his blog.
“Yes, the Brüno/Eminem incident was staged,” he typed. “That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then. Okay, you can stop reading this blog now!”
While I did read the rest of the blog, you won’t be able to. After his comment was reported on the net, the post mysteriously disappeared.
Silenced by MTV, perhaps? Or did Eminem’s posse threaten to bust a cap?
Hmmm.
