Eminem wanted Mariah Carey to join him in the 313.
In fact, it’s been shared that the rapper had originally desired Mariah Carey to portray his mother in his 2002 film “8 Mile,” as detailed by music producer Damizza Young. However, he hesitated to disclose this to Mariah at first for a specific reason.
In my professional experience as a lifestyle expert, I once found myself in a situation where I chose not to address an issue directly, only for it to resurface in a different manner within our business dealings. When this happened with Mariah at the time, I later shared on the TFU podcast that if I’m not proactive in addressing issues upfront, I might be perceived as the one responsible when the situation reemerges – essentially becoming the ‘bad guy.’
However, Mariah hadn’t been keen on talking to Eminem at first, but the producer remembered, she eventually accepted the call upon learning it could be about a movie part. Yet, her excitement faded when Eminem discussed the role during their talk.
In Damizza’s recollection, Eminem, aged 52, asked Mariah, also 56, to portray his mother. However, Mariah was far from pleased with this request. Her self-doubts intensified significantly as a result.
TopMob News has reached out to reps for Eminem and Mariah but has not heard back.
In the movie that draws inspiration from Eminem’s early days as a Detroit rapper, the character of his troubled mother Stephanie was portrayed by actress Kim Basinger.
Concerning Em and Mariah’s relationship, their strained connections are well-known, with roots traced as far back as 2001 when Eminem claimed they had a romantic past. However, Mariah flatly refused these allegations.
In fact, they continued to put out tracks that seemed directed at one another. The rapper made mention of her in his songs titled “The Warning”, “Bagpipes from Baghdad”, “Superman” and “Jimmy Crack Corn”.
In response, Mariah made a bold statement by disguising herself as an Emine-like character in her 2009 hit “Obsessed” music video, implying she was trying to keep him at bay.
Although they didn’t openly discuss their prolonged disagreement in public, Mariah indirectly touched upon their decades-old dispute while promoting her 2020 memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey.” She shed light on why he is absent from the book.
She shared with Variety in 2020 that there are certain songs she could perform in response, but she chose not to. As for her book titled “Mariah Carey,” if someone or something doesn’t relate directly to Mariah Carey, they won’t be included.

In January 2024, Bobby, who is seen here second from the left, refuted speculations about a rift with Tan, who is in the middle of the image. This came two months after he declared his departure from Queer Eye, following eight successful seasons.
He shared with Vanity Fair, “I want everyone to understand that Tan and I are doing well.” He added, “There was an incident, and that’s a private matter between us. It doesn’t impact the show in any way. It was a personal issue that has been lingering, and just to make it clear, it wasn’t romantic; it was about something else entirely.
By March 2024, Tan faced accusations that he was advocating for his friend Jeremiah Brent to take over Bobby’s role on the show “Queer Eye”.
In my social media post, I shared that Netflix and the production teams went all out with their casting process. Contrary to some speculation, I didn’t recommend my friend for the role. Instead, they landed the job because they were undeniably the most suitable candidate for it. To clarify, I did not influence the decision by eliminating other candidates from contention.
In the December 2023 installment of her podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” Holly Marie Combs, who previously starred with Shannen on “Charmed,” claimed that Alyssa had demanded a choice from a show producer: to keep either herself or Shannen, resulting in Shannen’s departure from the series in 2001.
In February 2024, Alyssa stated on Instagram, “I didn’t possess the ability to fire anyone,” and she also mentioned that since this incident happened quite some time ago, any recounting of these events by others can be considered a distortion of history, or revisionist history.
The following day, during a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando, Shannen asserted, “No one is rewriting history with the truth as I understand it.
Shannen passed away in July 2024 after a yearslong battle with cancer.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.
Approximately five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton appeared on The Talk in 2014, he exhibited a certain “tone” or “demeanor” following her mistake in pronouncing his name.

In a TikTok challenge during the year 2022, JoJo Siwa expressed that Candace Cameron Bure came across as the rudest celebrity.

I’m truly sorry.
After resolving their differences, here’s a scenario: The two reconciled. However, several months passed, and Candace was posed a question about whether the Great American Family network, where she holds the position of chief creative officer, might portray same-sex couples as main characters in holiday films. Her response was negative, stating that she believes the Great American Family will uphold traditional marriage as its foundation.
JoJo, who publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, expressed on Instagram that the actress’ remark was both “disrespectful” and “painful” towards an entire group of individuals.
As a lifestyle expert looking back at June 2021, I recall the intriguing exchange between Courtney Love and Olivia Rodrigo. Courtney, a pioneer in music, accused Olivia of replicating Hole’s album cover for promotional purposes without due credit. Olivia responded with heartfelt words, “I adore you and find so much inspiration from this journey.” In response, Courtney graciously replied, “Olivia, consider it a compliment! My favorite florist is nestled in Notting Hill, London. If you ever need the details, feel free to reach out! I can’t wait to read your heartfelt note [winking face emoji].
During an episode of “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was questioned about his strained relationship with the star of “Forrest Gump” during the filming of the 1989 movie “Turner & Hooch”.

Tensions between costars flared anew when Tyrese criticized Dwayne on Instagram following the delay of the release date for Fast and Furious 9, which was set for April 2020. On the same day, it became known that a Fast and Furious spinoff featuring Dwayne and Jason Statham would debut in theaters as early as 2019. The subsequent month saw Tyrese expressing his intention to leave Fast 9 if Dwayne was involved in the movie.
Later on, Tyrese spoke candidly about the dispute during an episode of the “The Red Pill” podcast, expressing, “Up until now, I haven’t spoken to The Rock directly, but we will have a chat.” He mentioned that he had conversed with The Rock’s production partner, but not the actor himself.
In a role as a representative for numerous individuals connected to the brand, I unintentionally stepped forward and voiced their collective sentiments publicly. Regrettably, that was solely on me. It wasn’t a professional move, and looking back, it just didn’t feel right.
No more bad blood here.
For many years, Taylor and Katy were embroiled in a long-standing disagreement, with Taylor’s song “Bad Blood” being said to be inspired by this feud. The source of the conflict, rumored to involve a backup dancer and competing tours, finally came to an end when Perry extended an olive branch, quite literally, to Taylor before the start of her Reputation Tour.
In an Instagram video, Taylor expressed, “I’ve just discovered a real olive branch in my dressing room, which means a lot to me.
Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”
For many years, speculations about a rift between “Sex and the City” co-stars Kim and SJP had been dispelled. However, these rumors resurfaced when Kim opted out of appearing in a third film and made certain remarks about her fellow actress that left people questioning their relationship.
Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s (SJP) response when Kim Cattrall claimed they were only colleagues, not friends, during an interview with Piers Morgan in September 2017 on his show “Watch What Happens Live”.
She expressed her feelings by saying, “I am truly heartbroken. Throughout that entire week, we talked about it extensively as I found it extremely distressing because, honestly, that’s not how I remember our past events.
As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my feelings about this shared journey we embarked on together. It’s disheartening to find ourselves in a discordant moment, but what binds us isn’t merely professional; it transcends that. The string that ties us is the extraordinary experience we’ve collectively lived through, an experience that spanned years and seeped into our lives. So I yearn for the reminiscence of those times to overshadow any recent discord.
The privilege of spending so many years engaged in something so unique and meaningful, where a connection was formed, is beyond compare.
And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.
The legendary musicians have been engaged in a longstanding dispute since 2004. During his acceptance speech for the Classic Songwriter Award at the Q Awards that year, Elton John expressed his displeasure to the audience, stating, “Madonna, regarded as the best live act? Absolutely not! When did miming become live performance? I apologize, but I firmly believe that anyone who mimes in public on stage, especially when fans pay around 75 pounds to watch them, should be reprimanded.
2008 saw a dispute between the former star of Grey’s Anatomy and the show’s creator, as she decided to withdraw her name from Emmy Awards consideration. The actress explained that her decision was based on not receiving the script material deserving of a nomination.
In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey on her show, ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’, I myself shared some insights about Katherine’s choice. I admitted that it left a bit of a sting, yet at the same time, I wasn’t entirely surprised. After all, people reveal who they truly are, and it’s important to believe them. This mantra has been my guide through many situations, proving to be incredibly helpful in my journey.
During the New York Fashion Week, a worldwide-noted brawl occurred when Nicki and Cardi had a heated argument at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. A month later, Cardi revealed what instigated the fight with Nicki.
For some time, she’s been firing many criticisms at me, as Cardi explained in the Art Issue of W magazine. We had spoken twice previously, and reached a mutual agreement. However, she continued with the attacks.
The genuine source of conflict between them ignited when Cardi perceived that Nicki had first ‘liked’ and then ‘unliked’ a tweet seemingly criticizing Cardi’s parenting abilities, an action that Nicki later refuted.
Instead of raking in millions from my Bruno Mars tour, I chose to stay by my daughter’s side, and let me tell you, I wouldn’t trade that choice for anything. I’m a devoted mom, and if someone who doesn’t have kids doesn’t understand that, well, they just weren’t there when I was. People may say the party wasn’t the right moment or place to express it, but I won’t wait for an artist in the grocery store or down the block to share my feelings.
The strained relationship between Kanye and Taylor Swift can be traced back to 2009 during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, when Kanye took the stage with his “Stronger” rap. Despite reconciliation and friendship in later years, their bond was broken again in 2026 following the release of his song “Famous,” which includes a reference to Taylor Swift.
On the eve of the Grammys in February 2025, Kanye changed his Instagram following list to include only Taylor. Without any additional explanation, he kept silent on the matter, and Taylor chose not to respond publicly to this action.
