| Why Eminem Keeps Rapping About Mariah
Brett Ratner, director of the “Rush Hour” movies, is collaborating with Carey on the first video from her new album. The song is called “Obsessed,” and it’s a witty comeback to Eminem’s recent rap on her on his new album. The Mariah-Eminem saga has turned into a pretty swell feud, with both sides getting in their cracks. But now Mark Batson, the producer who shepherds Eminem’s albums to completion, tells me it’s not personal at all. “He just used her name because it rhymed,” Batson told me at the BET Awards last Sunday. “It doesn’t mean a thing.” In fact, says Batson, “he” — meaning Eminem — “uses most names in songs because they rhyme.” Well, it’s a theory, but I’m not sure I totally believe it. “Bagpipes from Baghdad,” the “song” in question on Eminem’s “Relapse,” doesn’t use the word “Mariah” to rhyme with anything, actually. But Eminem does call Mariah the “c word” in the song, and mocks her husband and a former boyfriend. Now Carey gets him back in the “Obsessed” video. By the looks of it, the video is going to be hilarious. Carey is dressed in a hooded gray sweatshirt, Eminem’s trademark costume. Can’t wait to see the actual footage. Let Carey have the last laugh on this twisted piece of work. P.S. If you can’t get enough of Em, his sequel
comes out in December — “Relapse, Valium Two.” Batson says the lyrics in
the new one make the ones from the current CD— many way too unprintable
— seem meek. Merry Xmas!

Day one of the shooting was held behind closed doors on the fourth floor of The Plaza Hotel in New York City.

| This one will be for real curious fans....
"Guilty By Association" out on September 11 Damizza's book "Guilty By Association" will hit the stores and Amazon on September 11. "It’s an amazing book, and I’m not saying that because it’s mine. It’s the people that play a part in my story: Eminem, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Al Gore, Jay-Z, Nate Dogg – and we all pray for Nate Dogg to get better. The fans have never had a chance to hear some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, and all of the things that that made all of these guys stars. You’ll hear about Eminem before he became a star. You’ll hear about The Notorious B.I.G.’s mindset the morning before he died as he was sitting in my office, telling me how good it felt to be out on the West Coast. I got disgruntled with the book at first. In the press, the hip-hop sites took out all of the stuff about working with Korn and Mariah, and said it was a tell-all on Dr. Dre. Then all the Mariah sites said it was a tell-all on her. That’s not what I’m about. I want to tell you the stories of how your favorite records came together, as one fan to another. It got away from that, and it really affected me. It’s a really weird feeling when you walk into a supermarket with your Grandma and you see a National Enquirer or a Star Magazine saying that you’re writing a tell-all on Mariah. Let me ask you a question, Eddie. How did it feel seeing your name in the National Enquirer? Now let’s talk about the cease and desist notice
Mariah Carey sent you about the “Guilty By Association” book…
The thing that does bother me is that she knows
me. We were best friends for a long time and she knows what I’m about.
So if there was a problem, she just should have picked up the phone and
said, “Dame, what is this all about?” I would have sent her the chapter
and let her read it. I’ve always been a big advocate for her, so
why would I do something like that to destroy a career I helped bring back?
I mean, let’s go back in time. When she left Sony with “Glitter”
and all those other projects, I took a big step to help out somebody who
wasn’t doing so well, and I took on the Sony system at the same time.
She did a lot for me, and in fact, the chapter is more about how smart
and generous she is. She could program a radio station if she wanted
to. She’s an amazing writer. It’s really about how smart and
savvy of a woman she is and how she doesn’t get credit for it. There’s
been people that have tried to use her as a platform to get famous.
I’ve never done that. She asked me to be in every single one of her
videos, she asked me to be on MTV Cribs with her, and I always turned that
stuff down. I didn’t charge her money for producing “I Still Believe.”
She offered me money for that and I said, “No. I just appreciate
you giving me a shot!” That’s what the chapter’s about. Every Mariah
fan will read it 10 times if they want to know how cool she really is.
And you may get some surprises too.

| Looking For Talent at the White House?
“America’s Got Talent” host Nick Cannon was spotted hanging at the White House Tuesday morning. The actor/hip-hop singer/ producer, who was accompanied by a small entourage of four, said he hadn’t seen the President. Why was he here? Cannon was taping promos for the season premiere of the show. In fact, later he was positioned in front of a camera on the North Lawn next to CNN yelling loudly “America’s got talent! Season four! Begins now!” “The wait is finally over! This is America’s got talent!” “Tonight season premiere! The show that turns ordinary people into superstars!” Facing the same challenges White House correspondents regularly experience, Cannon, was forced to do several takes of the teases, stopping and starting because of noisy hammering from construction across the street. There was just one question almost all the White House photographers asked Cannon, “where’s Mariah?” Indeed, there was a lot of finger-pointing and excitement among some who referred to him as “Mariah Carey’s husband.” So I asked Cannon myself, if she’d be coming. Cannon said Mariah was at home and doing great. You could see the disappointment on so many faces. Cannon, like many tourists, went to the White
House briefing room, stood behind the press secretary’s podium, and mugged
before cameras. Later he went to the press’ back lunch room where he munched
on a vending machine sticky bun. Cannon seemed thoroughly excited to be
at the White House, despite the fact many in the press corps who spotted
him, kept asking, “isn’t that Mariah Carey’s husband?”

| Gucci Mane Talks "Hard" Remix With Mariah
Carey
Is Gucci Mane going from the Trap House to the penthouse? After appearing on a remix of the Black Eyed Peas' #1 single "Boom Boom Pow," the Atlanta MC recorded his biggest collaboration to date: a remix of Mariah Carey's new single "Obsessed." "That joint hard, ain't it? It was crazy," he said about working with Mariah. "It was big." Gucci said 50 Cent's manager, Chris Lighty, orchestrated the guest appearance. "Shout-out to Mariah Carey and her whole squad
and my boy Chris Lighty," Gucci said. "He got me and Mariah together. I
appreciate it. He put me on there as well as her. Both of them are smart
for doing that. The song came out hard. Mariah knew I wanted to do a song
with her. It finally happened, and it turned out hard. I just flew up there
to New York, went in the studio with her. I flew right out and went back
on the road. When I do a song with people, I like to really get in the
studio with them so I could feel they swag and they could feel mine. The
music comes out better."

| Mariah Exacts Revenge on Eminem
Mariah Carey is finally getting back at Eminem. Her revenge for his ranting and raving about their alleged “affair” is a witty, biting new single called “Obsessed.” You can hear it at www.mariahcarey.com. Good for Mariah, who’s had to put up with Eminem’s lunatic name calling for the last couple of years. Then, just to get publicity, Eminem took more swipes at her on his new CD in a song called “Bagpipes from Baghdad.” In the “song” — a term used loosely — the execrable Eminem calls Carey the “c word.” *(This is what your kids are spending millions on, folks. Wise up.) He not only attacks the singer but her husband, Nick Cannon, and long ago boyfriend Luis Miguel. Mariah’s comeback is funnier, catchier, and more likely to be a bigger hit. “Why are you obsessed with me?” she sings to one of the best hooks in her storied history. “You’re delusional/you’re confused/you’re losing your mind,” Mariah continues. “Lyin’ that your sexin’ me.” Ouch! And the winner is: Universal Music Group. Both
performers record for them. And a feud is always good for business! “Obsessed,”
by the way, is the first single from Mariah’s new album, due August 25th,
to be called “Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.”

Official Press Release
(June 16, 2009 - New York, NY) First came the emancipation, then came energy and power, and now come MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the new album by international superstar Mariah Carey, scheduled to arrive on August 25th. The first new single pick from MEMOIRS is "Obsessed," which blasts out to radio today, Tuesday, June 16th. The video for "Obsessed" will be directed by Brett Ratner. "Obsessed" was written and produced by Mariah, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who are responsible for the majority of tracks on the new album. MEMOIRS was executive-produced by Antonio "L.A." Reid. "The 1st single from my new album MEMOIRS OF AN
IMPERFECT ANGEL is called 'Obsessed' and will be at radio next Tuesday.
I'm a lil' exc ... Seriously, this is one of my favorite songs ever. I
love the whole album. I'm completely immersed in it. I can't wait for you
to hear it. LY"
MEMOIRS OF AN IMPERFECT ANGEL, the 12th studio album of Mariah's career, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her RIAA platinum-selling album E=MC2 (released April 15, 2008), and her worldwide 10 million selling The Emancipation Of Mimi (released April 12, 2005). Both were Soundscan #1 debut albums that made chart history for Mariah in the U.S. and numerous territories around the globe. The Emancipation Of Mimi generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemp-orary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. The album debuted at #1 on first week sales of 404,000 copies, Mariah's highest first week sales total (until E=MC). Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together" (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. Three years later, E=MC2 debuted at #1 on first week sales of 463,000 copies, which now stands as the highest first week sales total of Mariah's career. The album's success brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history. E=MC2 spun off four singles: "Touch My Body,"
"Bye Bye," "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time," and "I Stay In Love." Of these,
"Touch My Body" made history when it became Mariah's 18th #1 Hot 100 hit,
thus surpassing Elvis Presley. "Touch My Body"'s two weeks at the top also
marked Mariah's 78th and 79th cumulative career weeks at #1, which tied
Elvis' long-standing all-time high of 79 weeks at #1, as calculated in
Billboard.com. At the same time, Mariah is now positioned as the only active
recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with
the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits.
