Eminem has threatened to leak nude photographs of Mariah Carey.

The rapper
has released a track called 'The Warning', which blasts the 'Fantasy' singer and her husband Nick Cannon, and threatens to expose the brief relationship they had in 2001 by making public intimate pictures and voice mail messages.

The song
comes after Mariah appeared to dress up as Eminem in the music promo for 'Obsessed', in which she said he was "delusional" for hinting they had slept together in his track 'Bagpipes from Baghdad'.

He raps in 'The Warning': "Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me. Now I'm p***ed off. I'm obsessed now. Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?

"B***h, shut the f**k up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house. How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count. Better shut your lying mouth if you don't want Nick finding out. You probably think since it's been so long if I had something on you I woulda did it by now. On the contrary, Mary Poppins, I'm mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud. Enough dirt on you to murder you. Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?

"Call my bluff and I'll release every f***ing thing I got including the voicemails right before you flipped your top.

"It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life). But I'm movin' on with mine. Nick, is that your wife. Well tell her to shut her mouth then I'll leave her alone. If she don't then I'm just gonna keep goin."

He goes on to describe intimate details about their sexual exploits, mentions her by name several times and brands her a "w***e" and "alcoholic".

Following Eminem's original comments in 'Bagpipes from Baghdad', Nick jumped to his wife's defence, claiming "homeboy is still obsessed with my wife".

He added: "I realised that this so-called man has just disrespected... one of the world's most significantly influential artists, one of the most notable black females of our time, the incredibly cherished, globally loved and world-embraced woman of colour, Mariah Carey."

Mariah herself spoke out about 'Obsessed', insisting she wasn't attacking Eminem in the video.

She said: "Everybody started having their own speculations about who the stalker in the video was. When I look at that stalker and me with the beard, I look like my brother and my cousin Chris. So basically, you know, all the speculation about who I'm playing in the video, it's not accurate."

Meanwhile, it has been claimed Mariah sleeps in a Cinderella carriage.

The singer is a huge fan of the rage-to-riches fairytale - in which the downtrodden heroine rides a horse-drawn coach her fairy godmother creates from a pumpkin - and spent over £60,000 for an interior designer to create a replica with a bed inside.

A source said: "She identifies with it because people were hard on her when she was younger."

The woman pregnant with Jude Law's baby
has been named as Samantha Burke.

A lawyer for the US socialite and aspiring actress released a statement yesterday (30.07.09) revealing 'Sherlock Holmes' star Jude is the father of her unborn child and has pledged to support her and the baby.

It also states Samantha got pregnant during a brief relationship with the 36-year-old star which occurred over the Christmas period last year.

Samantha has reportedly registered on website Babies "R" Us giving her due date as October 6 and saying she is expecting a girl she will name Sophia.

In a statement to gossip website TMZ, her lawyer wrote: "Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall.

"Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy."

Father-of-three Jude - who has returned to his home country, England, since the relationship - was reportedly shocked when he received a call to tell him Samantha was pregnant but confirmed he is the father of the baby by having a pre-birth DNA test.

The couple are said to have met while the 36-year-old actor was filming in New York and their relationship only lasted a few weeks. When Samantha found out she was pregnant she had difficulty contacting Jude.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "She tried to reach him, but the cell phone number she had for him was a temporary number he only used in New York. Her only way of contacting him was through his publicist.

"That's when they got the DNA test done, to make sure that it really was Jude's baby. The two of them are by no means together, but Jude isn't being a jerk about being a father. He's willing to take responsibility."

Jude broke the news to his ex-wife Sadie Frost - mother of his other children, Rafferty, 12, Iris, eight, and six-year-old Rudy, whom he remains close to - on Tuesday (28.07.09).

Penelope Cruz lost her suitcase on her way to London.

The actress had to wear a stunning red Bottega Veneta trouser suit to the UK premiere of her latest movie
'Broken Embraces' after her baggage, which had been placed in the hold on the flight from Madrid, disappeared.

The movie's director Pedro Almodovar joked: "I think someone took it. I think it was taken by someone with a fetish!"

Despite the wardrobe setback, Penelope was delighted to be in the UK but admitted she has difficulty coping with the unpredictable climate.

The 35-year-old screen beauty confessed she had even prayed for the day to stay dry ahead of the film's open air screening.

Speaking at London's Somerset House, Penelope told BANG Showbiz: "I love London... but I have difficulties with the rainy weather.

"I have decided it is not going to rain, I was here for many months this year making a movie and I love London, but I have trouble with grey weather so I said, 'No, please, not today.' So hopefully it's going to stay like this."
