Current Headlines: Rapper Eminem and his ex-wife told a Michigan court they'd abide by the adage, If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all.

Eminem had asked the Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens, Mich., to stop Kim Mathers from speaking ill of him in the media, maintaining it could harm their 11-year-old daughter, Hailie, The Detroit News reported.

Mathers appeared in court on the matter Monday while the singer was in contact with her by conference call, the newspaper said.

I'm pleased to report that both parties have signed a parental cooperation order, said David T. Elias, a Friend of the Court referee. That order requires both sides to refrain from disparaging each other.

Mathers didn't say anything to reporters as she left. However, a response to Eminem's motion filed by her attorneys last Friday said that after years of derogatory statements in Eminem's songs, performances and the media, she decided the public should hear her side.

(Eminem) must forget the lyrics he wrote and the effect those lyrics have on the child, the statement said.

The couple has been married and divorced twice since 1999.
