Eminem was sweating right before he was about to walk down the aisle to remarry ex-wife Kim last week, wedding guest 50 Cent told MTV Europe at the U.K. premiere of his movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin' " on Tuesday. "He was fidgeting and had his arms crossed while waiting," the rapper said. "You could tell he was nervous. But he relaxed afterwards, after the ceremony was over. It was great, man, I mean it was intimate, it was small. But it was kinda crazy, there was like four news helicopters overhead." ...

Luther Campbell says he has no problems with 50 Cent and he's certainly not suing him. 50, however, is being sued for copyright infringement over a Luke record, "It's Your Birthday." The 2 Live Crew leader's former manager, Joe Weinberger, who now owns the rights to the Crew's catalog, filed a lawsuit in Miami last week for unspecified damages because he claims "In Da Club" stole from Luke's old hit. Luke told MTV News he has nothing to do with it and that Weinberger is a sham artist who's filed and won similar lawsuits in the past and does not pay 2 Live Crew a dime. 50's label had no comment. ...

Mariah Carey's favorite place to be is between the sheets, the singer reveals in the new issue of V magazine. "When I'm not working, I'm so about the bed," Carey tells the mag. "I'm literally like a 2-year-old, I just eat and watch TV, not that that's something to be proud of." She says that she needs 15 hours of sleep (part of her "vocal rest" regimen), and if she's not rested enough after that, she said, "I'll get a masseuse to come, to make it a relaxed atmosphere." And to keep her throat in good shape, she has a special bedroom ("a room that I didn't show on 'Cribs,' because it wasn't done yet") where she keeps 20 humidifiers around a bed with terrycloth bedding. "Basically it's like sleeping in a steam room," she said. "The ceiling is pitched so the water can't fall on my head, and it all drips down to the side, and the TV is behind glass." ... Nelly's "Grillz" is such a hit, he's going to offer not one, but two versions of the song as ring tones at all telecom carriers. The ring tones will be available starting Tuesday. ...

Mosley faced more than 40 years in prison for communicating a threat across state lines. ...

What's more unforgivable — that 2.5 ounces of Unforgivable costs $300, or that the ad for Diddy's Sean John men's fragrance features the rap mogul in bed with two women? Given the racy ad, a few Midwest and Bible Belt retailers balked at displaying Unforgivable, forcing the maker of the scent, Estée Lauder, to shoot a more "store-friendly" and bed-less ad to use in magazines and on billboards.
