-Rumor has it that pop star Mariah Carey is dating the controversial rapper Eminem. Though no one's suggesting that Ms. M's exposure to the bad boy rapper led to her subsequent breakdown, both the New York Daily News and the online magazine Salon reported that the two did secretly meet for what Carey's spokesperson later described as "business dealings, and that's all." Now that'd be a cute couple!:-)
