to shock MARIAH CAREY by releasing a series of scathing tracks about her,
according to reports. The star - real name Marshall Mathers III - has allegedly

album. But Carey is upset and has pleaded with label boss L.A. Reid to
stop the tracks from being released.
A source tells OK! magazine, "There is
more than one track that goes into really specific, intimate detail about
what went on between Em and Mariah.
"Mariah wishes she could sue Eminem for
slander. But it's his freedom of speech."[see full story for more]-

PR reports: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Release The “Is
Is” Ep With Accompanying Live Film July 24th On Dress Up/Fiction. YYYs
= SLUTTY: The drunk, the nerd and the goth strike back with their new EP
of unbridled older material. It all began with an EP back in 2001, and
now YYYs revisit and revel in the five song format a second time round
with Is Is. "I f*cking love EPs!" says Brian Chase. Songs for the EP were
written in 2004 in between touring behind their first record Fever to Tell.
Written amidst one of the most turbulent and emotionally unstable periods
in YYYs history, for whatever reason the angst that colored that point
in time translates erotically into a sexually charged body of songs. On
their choice of producer, Karen O intones; "Nick Launay was the natural
choice having produced PIL Flowers of Romance, collectively a favorite
between us. I put that record on and want to stuff my mouth with raw hamburger
meat.". Is Is is an expression of similar sordid energy, the rawness is
unavoidable and good for you too![see full story for info on the film]-
