In what is probably a good move for him, but a bad one for celebrity gossip sites who love a good feud, Nick Cannon took to (what else) his Twitter page to address the ongoing battle between his wife Mariah Carey and rapper Eminem.

Cannon Twittered various philosophical, Biblical quotes about rising above anger and not giving in to revenge: "Never take your own revenge, but rather give place unto the wrath," read one of his messages on the social networking site.

He also included a direct Bible quote, "'I will bless those that bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.' Genesis 12:3" and insightful thoughts like:

"Those who feed into negativity must examine there [sic] purpose on this earth."

Eminem vs. Mr. and Mrs. Nick Cannon: A feud that shall not end.

The Tweets are a reaction to Eminem's latest track, "The Warning," in which the rapper goes after the Cannons directly, and swears he had a previous relationship with the singer, with the nude Mariah Carey pictures to prove it even.

Eminem initially ripped Carey in the song "Bagpipes from Baghdad." Carey got revenge by portraying a stalker in her video "Obsessed" that looked remarkably like Eminem, though Carey and her husband have denied any parody.

Whose side are you on?

Eminem has once again gone back to the seemingly endless well of celebrity disses and pulled out a new diatribe directed at Mr. and Mrs. Nick Cannon.

The reason (not that he's ever needed one) - he's firing back at Mariah Carey's recent Slim Shady-channeling video for her single, "Obsession."

In "The Warning," Eminem raps:

"I got the exact same tattoo that's on Nick's back, I'm obsessed now, oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?"

He goes on to gloat about the time Mariah "was wild 'n' out before Nick" and when he himself gave Carey "somethin' to smile about." Wow.

This all started, we think, because Carey has made light of her reported relationship with Eminem back in 2001, and the rapper is clearly pissed.

Eminem gave Carey a shout-out in his recent tune "Bagpipes From Baghdad," which included a pointed suggestion to Cannon to "back the f*%k up."

Cannon responded in May that "homeboy is still obsessed with my wife."

A few days later, Eminem implied to listeners of the satellite radio show he was hosting that he had once urinated on the superstar. On purpose.

Back to Team Cannon. Earlier this year, Carey dressed up like Eminem and poked no small amount of fun at him in her music video for "Obsessed."

Which brings us to "The Warning," in which Eminem scaldingly raps:

"You probably think 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 off to mastering to make it loud, enough dirt on you to murder you, this is what the f--k I do..."

"Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?"

Oh, boy. "But if I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you and don't you dare say it isn't true," he continues later in the track.

"As long as the song's getting airplay I'm dissing you, I'm a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued, I was gonna stop at 16, this is 32, this is 34 bars, we ain't even a third of the way through."

Bottom line? Don't expect to outlast Eminem in a feud.

Whose side are you on?

On second thought, even Eminem admits he may have made a mistake when he referred to Mariah Carey as a "whore" in the single "Bagpipes from Baghdad."

Following a challenge thrown down by Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, Eminem told British DJ Tim Westwood:

With the song “Bagpipes From Baghdad,” there’s a line on there, I mean, I kinda spazzed out on that record but I guess I spazzed out on every record. There’s a line on there that was a little harsh, you know, it’s a harsh line… but you know man, the way I look at it, I said it, I had no idea he was going to take it like he took it.

I had no idea Nick Cannon was gonna start wildin’ out on me. No pun intended. I heard about some of the things he was saying, I didn’t read his blog or anything. It is what it is, he’s supposed to defend his wife. I expected him to do that. But at the end of the day, it’s a line I said, but I meant to say is I wish them the best.

Has Eminem's celebrity-skewering gone too far?

No, we don't care that Bill O'Reilly called out the rapper for lyrics in his latest single, "We Made You." That guy sucks.

But Nick Cannon has gone public with a more understandable complaint: Eminem refers to his wife, Mariah Carey, as a "whore" in the song "Bagpipes From Baghdad."

In the single, the artist refers to his alleged romance with Carey from years ago, rapping:

Mariah whatever happened to us. Why did we ever have to break-up? Nick Cannon, you better back the f--- up. I'm not playing, I want her back, you punk... I wish you luck with that ... wh---"

In an admirable defense of his woman, Cannon fired back at Eminem in a blog entry last week, writing that he is "still obsessed with my wife, the same female that wouldn't let him get to second base from 8 years ago."

Cannon then refers to Eminem as "Slim Lamey" and  challenge to him to a confrontation:

"Man to man, let's meet up and deal with this like adults. This is my invitation to you, whenever and wherever you like sir. So when you come out of your introverted hiding place and ask your bodyguards if you can go out and play by yourself, I'm here Pimp!

"Miss Marshall, I'm going to make you wish you never spoke my name and regret the ungodly things you said about my wife. Your legacy has now been tainted from this day forth! You will now be known as the rapper who lost to corny-ass Nick Cannon!"

Wow. Whose side are you on in this feud?

During a recent trip to Aspen, Colorado Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon proved they're a great match... literally!

The married pair of singers were spotted all over a town, donning matching outfits and looking adorable or vomit-inducing, depending on your point of view.

Whether they were wonders in white or radiant in red, the couple made its love - and similar fashion taste - apparent to all...

Mariah and Nick dressing alike is...

The bluebird has gone away.

A new bird is here to stay.

This creature sings a love song, as Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon go along, walking in the winter wonderland that is Aspen, Colorado.

The couple celebrated Christmas in this ski town, as evidenced below:

In the latest issue of Elle, Mariah Carey gushes about new husband Nick Cannon. Specifically, the singer praises her man for how perfect a father she predicts he will be.

"I couldn't imagine anybody that I've ever met being a better dad," Carey told the magazine, adding that she wants to raise her future children in a responsible, anti-Dina Lohan manner.

"You can get caught up in Hollywood-land or celebrity-land, and that's maybe not the best thing for kids, 'cause they didn't ask for it... I really feel like it's very important to be responsible and to think, 'Well, maybe if I do this it's not the best thing for my child.'"

We're shocked and proud to hear such sage words coming from Mariah.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon: Black, white and sexy!

Carey added that she and Cannon share "a similar spiritual outlook on life."

They also share the potential for a top-notch celebrity couple nickname. Mannon? Mick? Nariah? Write in with your favorite today!

Mariah Carey crooned about how a certain someone would "Always Be My Baby" during the 1990s.

Now, it sounds like the diva and new husband Nick Cannon will actually welcome babies into their universe.

The source of this information - but not that awful segue - is Nick's half-brother, Reuben Cannon, who told Us Weekly that Cannon "definitely wants kids."

"I am not sure exactly if now is the time," Reuben said. "Both of their careers are crazy right now."

Reuben added that Nick and Mariah have a "real and honest love" for each other and "that is what is going to keep them together."

This bodes well for the couple. Real love is a better foundation on which to build, as opposed to the TomKat foundation of real and honest public relations assistance.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon got married out of nowhere, casting doubt as to whether this union is destined for success. That's the subject of today's Face-Off. Comments are highly encouraged as The Hollywood Gossip staff debates ...

WILL THE MARIAH CAREY-NICK CANNON MARRIAGE LAST?

YES by mischalova

The 2002 movie Drumline stars Nick Cannon as a talented street drummer that, according to IMDB, "initially flounders in his new world, before realizing that it takes more than talent to reach the top."

That quote might as well sum up Nick Cannon's love life, as well.

Having floundered in the dating world with Kim Kardashian and Selita Ebanks in the past, it's now apparent Cannon desires more, seeking a soulmate that brings more than just large breasts and lingerie to the table.

Enter Mariah Carey, the most successful solo artist of all-time.

Years ago, she sang about a "hero [coming] along, with the strength to carry on," but none of her rumored flings fit that bill. Eminem, Marcus Schenkenberg and Derek Jeter were nothing but time and panty fillers until Mariah's true hero came along.

Now that he's arrived, let's let Carey explain why this marriage is meant to last: "We really feel we are soulmates. I never felt love like this was in the cards for me."
