Eminem to collaborate with Pink, Rihanna

The rapper, whose latest single is called 'Not Afraid', defended his decision to work with the singers after parodying numerous pop icons throughout his career, including Britney Spears and Michael Jackson.
He told French radio station Skyrock FM: "When I did the song ['Won't Back Down'] with Pink, I laid my parts first and kind of heard her on the record. I felt like she would smash this record, so I gave her a call and she was with it, so we did it.
"The other that I did with Rihanna, ['Love the Way You Lie'] is one of those tracks that I felt only she could pull it off. Both of the records, I guess you just got to hear them to know what they are."
Eminem previously featured a sample of Dido's 'Thank You' on his song 'Stan' back in 2000.
His new album Recovery is released June 22.
