Last week, Wendie wrote about the supposed feud that’s been brewing between Nick Cannon and Eminem over some lyrics in Eminem’s new single “Bagpipes from Baghdad” and a few wet and wild comments he made about Cannon’s wife, Mariah Carey, on his satellite radio show. Cannon had initially posted a blog entry on his website, basically calling Slim Shady out for fisticuffs. But now he’s saying that in spite of his harsh words towards Shady, there is no feud between the two of them.

“I felt like I said what I had to say,” Cannon said. “I didn’t take [the post] down, like, ‘Oh, somebody instructed me to do it’ or anything like that. It was just one of those things, like, I said it.”

As for the real reason he took the post down, Cannon said it had to do with the traffic to his Web site, which “pretty much crashed my site. There’d be thousands and thousands of comments and people couldn’t leave comments on other posts or any of that stuff. So that was the only reason why I took it down.”

And while noted that he doesn’t have any regrets about what he said — “I feel exactly the same way by it and stick by everything, but I think it’s one of those things where it becomes that it’s not really that big of a deal, you know?” — he did say he has no beef with the MC.

“I never even considered it as beef,” he said. “It’s not beef. It’s just, Hey, I heard the record. I said what I had to say.”

So, if it’s not beef, what is it? Tofurkey? I can’t imagine that if some guy says horrible things about your wife in one of his songs and then claims to have pissed on her you would just let that drop.

I mean that literally, of course, as Mariah opted to wear sunglasses — at night — to a boat party in Cannes. She’s obviously saving her actual eyes for her beloved. She and Nick, who’ve been married for over a year now, still looked as lovey-dovey as ever. I find myself rooting for this couple. They do seem to be so in love, and Mariah’s had a long and painful relationship road, and she deserves something good in her life. Nick Cannon is a good guy. I hope these crazy kids make it. I hope they have the common sense not to do a reality TV show about their marriage.

At this point, everyone in Hollywood is always pregnant all of the time. I’m so tired of writing about people being supposedly pregnant because they put on a couple of pounds. But here’s the latest:

Mariah Carey is supposedly pregnant with Nick Cannon’s kid, because she canceled plans for a tour. Rumor has it that she’d already hired costume designers and dancers, who were devastated to be laid off in this economy.

Abbie Cornish is rumored to be pregnant with Ryan Phillippe’s kiddo, because she’s put on weight and went home.

Katie Price and Peter Andre are reported to be expecting another … just because.

The gruesome twosome hosted a Halloween Eve bash at at Marquis last night, and looked every bit as much in love as always. It actually makes me really happy to see how happy Mariah seems lately. They even did a costume change midway through. Please make sure to check out the adorable pics of Nick Cannon DJ-ing in his milk carton costume. Loltastic.

Mariah and Nick are popping up everywhere these days!

Here’s the happy couple at the launch of L.A. Reid’s cosmetics line in NYC.

Yeah, you read that right.

L.A. Reid has a cosmetics line.

Sigh.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that I need to expand my brand. Focusing on just one thing — like celebrity gossip — is so passe in the business world these days.

What do you guys think?

Evil Beet condoms?

Evil Beet gravy?

Evil Beet chihuahuas?

Oooh, I got it: Evil Beet laxatives! Tagline: “Like the devil himself in your bowels.”

“It’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Nick Cannon, on his marriage to Mariah Carey, at Christian Audigier The Nightclub (really???) opening in Las Vegas.

Mostly I’m interested in the fact that Christian Audigier opened an eponymous nightclub in Las Vegas. It’s in Treasure Island. You guys, I think we need Evil Beet The Nightclub. I’m officially looking for financing.

Rumor has it that Nick Cannon — who recently split from model Selita Ebanks — has his eyes set on the reigning Miss USA, Rachel Smith.

“Last week, he sent her several dozen roses, chocolates and balloons,” said a source. “When she opened her apartment door, the hallway was flooded with stuff, and on each item was a different hand-written note from Nick to her.”

The two haven’t actually been on a date yet.

This sounds like something a publicist planted. I just wonder whose publicist.
