Best Rapper Alive: Eminem!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:07:00 GMT

Who is the best rapper alive? Slim Shady himself - Eminem! He beat out over 50 of the top rappers, even popular stars like Lil' Wayne and Jay-Z....

VIBE online conducted a poll, which started on July 21, to find out who fans of rap thought was the best rapper alive and 920,000 votes later, they have their answer.

In a landslide decision - despite the rapper not having an album release since 2004, Eminem took 69% of the votes, beating out Jay-Z, who had 31%.

Eminem said, "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!"

Congrats!

Is Eminem Dead?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 05:52:00 GMT

Has rapper Eminem died in a car crash or is this another sick rumor started by someone online? And if it's a rumor, why do people start a story like that?

Apparently blogs are a blaze with reports of the singer dying in a car crash Sunday night. However, there are no credible news sources that are confirming such a story.

This isn't the first time that Slim Shady was reported dead - the same sort of story appeared back in 2000. The website Urban Legends had issued a statement, reading:

“We read on the Internet on Sunday, December 17 that Slim Shady, a.k.a. Eminem, died in a car crash at 2:30 in the morning. According to this article he was on his way to a late-night party and was drunk and high on drugs.”

According to this site, he's very much alive. Hopefully his family didn't hear of such rumors online!

Eminem Not Dead!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:11:00 GMT

Eminem has laid low for the last couple of years and had people speculating on what he was doing. There were reports that he wasn't well, and had gained a considerable amount of weight but his good friend 50 Cent defended him, saying he was "doing okay." But although his health might not be a concern, he's got legal woes now. The hip-hopper beat up some dude two years ago in a strip club and now he's getting his butt sued off....sorta....

The guy suing Eminem is only seeking damages in the amount of $25,000, which for Em is probably peanuts. From The Huffington Post:

"A man has sued Eminem, claiming the rapper punched him two years ago while they were in the bathroom of a Detroit strip club.

The Detroit News reports Miad Jarbou of Royal Oak filed the lawsuit Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court seeking more than $25,000 in damages. The suit claims Eminem punched him July 13, 2006, at Cheetah’s On the Strip Gentlemen’s Club.

Eminem spokesman Dennis Dennehy declined to comment Friday on the lawsuit.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn’t charged following reports of an incident at the club in 2006.

The strip club is located on Eight Mile Road, the border between Detroit and the northern suburbs made famous by Eminem’s hit 2002 film “8 Mile.”

Apparently the dude, Jarbou approached Eminem while he was taking a leak at the urinal, and continued to bother him, being obnoxious. Um, I'd punch him too. Seriously, let the guy finish before asking for an autograph! Admittedly violence doesn't solve anything (hopefully he explained this to daughter Hailie), but if you're pestering someone while they're using the bathroom, then you kinda, sorta, deserve a smack.

Ashanti Plans On Having 12 Kids!

R&B singer Ashanti wants a lot of kids - in fact, she wants a dozen!

Although the 27-year-old has no plans to become a mom just yet, she does want a big brood.

"I need, like 12 (kids)... I love kids. I definitely want to get married.... I'm so family oriented. I want the big wedding, I want the long marriage, I want kids.

"(But) I've got to stack my cheese a little bit more... I want to be able to bring my kids into the world nice and comfortable."

Ashanti is currently dating rap star Nelly - does he know she wants an entire football team? Or two?

Madonna Interview: Music,Motherhood & More

Sassy Smith — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 16:02:00 GMT

Madonna still workin' it at 49, sat down with Ingrid Sischy for Interview magazine - the busy mother of three, who has an album dropping in April had lots to say.

Here's part of that interview:

On working with Justin Timberlake:
"I really enjoy writing with Justin... We had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs first. We'd sit down and we'd start talking about situations. And then we'd start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate... that was fun, because he's open and he's got talent. He's a songwriter. I haven't worked with a lot of songwriters where I'm instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words. He's as interested in the rhythm of the words as the meaning of the words."

On adopting her son David:
"He wouldn't have lived if I hadn't taken him. It's not even a possibility."

On gaining perspective:
"We live very comfortable lives, and unfortunately, we have to have our noses rubbed in other people's pain and suffering to realize how much we have and how much we have to be grateful for."

On bringing daughter Lourdes with her to Malawi:
"She spent several weeks working in the orphanages, particularly one with newborn children, and most of them were HIV-positive. She so came into her own and was so responsible and stayed for eight hours every day and worked tirelessly. I thought, Why am I babying her so much? She's capable of so much more. We don't let kids do anything. We think, Oh, they're kids — they can't take care of other kids; they can't do this; they can't do that. And after you go to Africa, you drop all that silliness."

On freedom:
"Freedom is a funny word because when we think we're free, we're not really. I think freedom is quite illusory... When I stop thinking about myself all the time and put other people before me on a regular basis, that's real freedom. When I can love unconditionally... then that's real freedom. So it's something to strive for, but I'm not free."

Jennifer Lopez Is A Snob

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly had an entire suite prepared for the birth of her twins.

The room has hardwood flooring, big screen TV and a brown leather couch. The best part though? Lopez has asked that hospital staff not enter the room until she arrives. Wow, snotty much?

A source said to the New York Post: "There is a room, which even has a brown leather couch, that has been sitting empty for two weeks now. No-one is even allowed in there until she gets here. It's just sitting there for her."

I got a crappy hospital bed and no TV. Times have changed.

JLo and Marc Anthony are due to deliver their babies, um, sometime.
