I really don't want to talk about her anymore only just because it's kind of like the last thing I said about her was on 'Cold Wind Blows.' I made the comment, 'Take a look at Mariah next time I inspire you to write a song.' ." He continued, "I don't want to keep beating a dead horse. I'm not even going to comment about it. I'm done with that whole situation. I said what I had to say. I'm done." Eminem also added that although he is the biggest selling artist of 2010, he doesn't consider himself to be a superstar. He said, "Obviously, I know I'm a celebrity but I don't look at myself in that light. I'm just me, man. It's one of the reasons that I stay here in Detroit. I don't want the attention. I don't like the attention. I don't like all that sh*t." He added, "Yes, I love the respect and the admiration that some people show me but I don't thrive off that whole thing. I just want to be regular." Back to top |

| WYCLEF WANTS BACK IN HAITIAN PRESIDENTIAL RACE  Reports say that although he has been rejected, Wyclef Jean has not given up his aspirations to become the next President of Haiti. According to Reuters, the musician plans to send a lawyer to the courts to appeal their rejection of his candidacy. He has claimed that he has legal papers "which shows everything is correct" and "feel that what is going on here has everything to do with Haitian politics." Wyclef released an official statement this past weekend on why he was denied running for president of the impoverished country. The statement, which was submitted to The Huffington Post, said, "It is with a heavy heart that I tell you today that the board of elections in Haiti has disqualified me from my run for the presidency of the country. Though I disagree with the ruling, I respectfully accept the committee's final decision, and I urge my supporters to do the same . . ." The statement continued, "I want to assure my countrymen that I will continue to work for Haiti's renewal; though the board has determined that I am not a resident of Haiti, home is where the heart is -- and my heart has and will always be in Haiti. This ruling just tells me that I can't officially seek the office of president." He added, "More importantly, there is no one who can tell me to stop my work in Haiti, and there is no one who could . . . Rest assured, this isn't the end of my efforts to help improve my beloved country but only marks a new beginning." Back to Top |
