Posted in American Music Awards, Eminem, Lady Gaga on the November 5, 2009
Eminem has recently been added to the list of performers for this year’s American Music Awards. There’s no word yet on what horrific song the rapper will perform though. I almost completely forgot that he even released an album this year, much less that it was decent enough to warrant him performing at such a big stage like the AMAs. With Eminem being added to the list of performers, that means there will be 10 performances on the show, including the likes of Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, Adam Lambert and Carrie Underwood. Which performance are you most excited for? I can tell you that Eminem wouldn’t even make my list.

Posted in Eminem, MTV, Rapper on the June 8, 2009
Over a week since the much talked about tea bagging incident, Eminem is speaking out about the stunt at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards involving himself and Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Bruno. In an interview with Rap Radar, the rapper confirmed that it was all staged, saying “Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag. I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going “nuts” so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.”

Jimmy Kimmel has invited Eminem back to the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ for not one, not two, but three performances in the coming weeks! It seems that the comedic host has a lot of love for the rapper. Why? Eminem will be performing on the show on May 15th, 18th and 22nd to promote his comeback album ‘Relapse’ which has already leaked on the internet in its entirety. And yes, it’s as crappy as everyone thought it would be. Maybe Jimmy hasn’t even heard it yet. That’s the only reason I can think of for wanting to subject his audience to three times the torture.

For fans of Eminem who were looking forward to the release of his album this year would receive a setback knowing that now it would release before the turn of this year.
The rapper is a rage for fans all across the world and his new record was being hotly-anticipated. The album was at first scheduled to hit the stores in November but then tentatively the date was set for December.
Now there has been further delay as Eminem is being quite “obsessive-compulsive” about it. But surely his fans avid fans won’t be complaining one bit because each one of them feels the wait is worth all that it requires of them.
He said: “I always do side projects and produce for artists on my label. I’m concentrating on my own stuff right now - just banging out tracks. The more I keep producing, the better it seems I get.”
I am sure he is right now working off his ass to put together one more super album and he himself has confessed that this work is for him so there’s an added sort pressure that when working for himself he produces something magical.

Eminem says that he has no desire for fame even though he’s making a new album called ‘Relapse’. The rapper says he doesn’t really want a comeback but that he just wants to remind people of how he raps. He says that he feels content with what he has accomplished thus far but he also admits that he like the attention, just not too much of it. The recently crowned greatest rapper alive says he’s excited to get back out there after collaborating with Dr. Dre for the past 5 months on brand new material. He admits to being spoiled in the studio because he lets Dre do all the production as he concentrates solely on his raps.
Posted in Eminem, JAY-Z, Rapper on the October 17, 2008

According to Vibe and its readers, Eminem is the Greatest Rapper Alive. Though the once very outspoken rapper has been keeping to himself lately, Eminem still beat out all of today’s hot acts. Over 920,000 votes were cast and rappers were eliminated tournament style until it was down to Eminem and Jay-Z. Em came out the winner with 69% of the votes. Em said in a statement “It’s obviously an honor to have won the fans’ support by being voted the Best Rapper Alive. I don’t think that there is any one rapper that is simply the best, though. Everyone who was in consideration and many others are the best at certain things, and at what they do. But since Vibe’s offering the distinction, hell yeah, I’ll accept!”

Don’t call it a comeback just yet. Reports are saying that Eminem is about to begin working on his first new album since 2004. A protégé of Slim Shady’s, Bishop Lamont, says that Em is working on the project and that he’s apparently “got a lot to get off his chest”. He says that Em was “emotionally devastated” after his rapper friend Proof was killed in 2006. Lamont says “He went through what he had to go through, and now he’s been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music.” There’s no news yet on when the album will be released. After all this time that he’s been gone, I can definitely wait a couple more decades.

Rap star Eminem used to be a workaholic; constantly scribbling lyrics on scraps of paper and toiling for hours in his studio revising songs. Now is the perfect time for the megastar to be at the top of his game, cherry picking the best talent for his production company.
However the 35 year old star - real name Marshall Mathers – has suffered a huge bout of writers block which has turned him into an overweight, spotty recluse who gorges on fatty food. He spends his time watching TV and playing computer games.
The music legend’s 5ft 8in frame has ballooned to 14½st and that he is battling heart problems. Now his desperate mother Debbie Nelson, 51, says: “I fear for him every waking moment.”
Time for a lifestyle change me thinks…

Debbie Nelson, Eminem’s mother, is writing a book about her relationship with her son. Personally, I think it’s a few years late for it but she has her reasons. Sources close to the rapper’s mom have revealed that Debbie is writing a book about her famous son because she needs some cash to pay the medical bills.
An insider leaks out that Debbie is about to die of stage 4 breast cancer. “She needs the money to pay medical bills and he won’t talk to her so that’s her open letter to him.” The source also adds that “Em agreed to try to help her pay some medical bills and try to get her insurance but couldn’t because of the pre-existing medical condition.”
