CAREY: 'SONGS AREN'T ABOUT EMINEM'

MARIAH CAREY insists her album isn't full of tracks aimed at EMINEM, despite reports her war of words with the rapper is behind her new songs.
In a new Los Angeles radio interview, the R&B star refused to even mention her former friend - but hinted Eminem is wrong to poke fun at her and husband Nick Cannon in his latest hits.
She told DJ Ryan Seacrest, "Eight years ago, maybe I knew that person, kind of, in a very platonic way and yet they're still using my name in songs in order to boost their career, which I don't think is working.
"It's just obsession... Anybody who would write a song about somebody and try to say nasty, disgusting things about them eight years later, when they're married, I'm like, I don't think so."
And Carey is urging the media to stop reading too much into her new songs - they're not all about Eminem: "If I write a song, called Why Are You So Upset With Me, and people are seeing that person in the song, that's not my problem."
