Mariah Carey dismisses food-taster rumours and hints at Eminem song

Mariah Carey has denied rumours about a food taster and says one song on her new album responds to Eminem's comments about their brief romance.

Mariah Carey has told the New York Post she takes exception to rumours that one of the members of her entourage has the job of tasting her food and wipes down her cans of soda with disinfectant before they're opened up. She insisted that although she is “careful among germs to protect her voice”, she doesn't "care that much."

In the same interview Carey said she's looking for love – though Eminem’s out of the race. Word is that one of the songs on Carey’s new album is a reaction to comments by Eminem earlier this year when he told Rolling Stone that he and Carey had dated briefly and that he didn't care for the experience. "Don't believe the hype," he told the magazine, Carey "doesn't really have it all together."

In her song ‘Clown’ Carey sings: "You should have never intimated we were lovers. I gotta break it to you delicately -- who's gonna love you when it's over? Who's gonna care?"
