Confirmed: Bruno's Assault On Eminem Was Staged!

Josh loposer — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:35:00 GMT

In case you hadn't figured it out by now, Sacha Cohen will not be charged with aggravated assault for his "accidental" teabagging of Eminem at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards - it was all staged and rehearsed.

Comedy writer Scott Auckerman of Mr. Show with Bob and David fame has come clean so that the rest of humanity can now go about the rest of their lives. From his blog:

"Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged. That’s all anyone wants to talk about, so let’s get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then. Okay, you can stop reading this blog now!"

Keep in mind, those last words were his, not mine.

So, to answer the question, what did Cohen's daughter Olive think about all this, I have to wonder. Is it better to explain to your 20 month-old daughter: daddy accidentally teabagged Mr. Eminem, OR daddy stuck his butt in that man's face on purpose because it's funny?

Bruno Assaults Eminem at MTV Movie Awards (VIDEO)

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 05:17:00 GMT

The big news at the MTV Movie Awards tonight wasn't who won a Golden Popcorn trophy, but what was up with that incident between Eminem and Sacha Baron Cohen? Cohen, dressed in wings and feathers as Bruno, his flamboyantly gay character, flew over the audience at the Universal Amphitheater before presenting the award for Best Male Performance. The guy's got balls, and apparently wanted to show them to Eminem.

After a short flight he landed in Eminem's lap, with his bare buttocks right in the rapper's face.

A visibly upset Emimen yelled, "Are you serious? Get the ****** off me!" to which Cohen replied, "Nice to meet you."

A short scuffle ensued as the rapper's bodyguards attempted to pull Cohen off of him, and he yelled, "Hey, don't touch me! I've already got a boyfriend!"

Once Cohen was pulled off, Eminem stormed out of the theater followed by his bodyguards.

MTV Shows

I wonder if Cohen's daughter Olive was watching the whole spectacle? While I'm sure it was disturbing to see your dad's butt mere inches away from a strange man's snarling face, maybe it was cool to see him dressed like an angel and flying over everyone's heads. Daddy's funny!

Eminem Nearly Overdosed But He's Back!

Sassy Smith — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:03:00 GMT

Eminem is back on the music scene - his new album Relapse hits stores May 19 - and he's been clean and sober for a year after battling a devastating drug addiction. He said, "It never once hit me that drug addiction runs in my family. Now that I understand that I'm an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it."

Speaking to VIBE magazine, in its second annual Real Rap Issue for June/July, the rap star admits to taking as many as 20 Vicodin, Ambien and Valium a day. Here are some highlights via PEOPLE:

"The numbers got so high, I don't even know what I was taking."

Following his first stint in rehab in 2005, the rapper, 36, tells VIBE he nearly overdosed after an acquaintance gave him unidentified blue pills, which a doctor later told him were actually methadone. "My doctor told me the amount of methadone I'd taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin," Eminem says, noting that had he known, "I probably wouldn't have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can't even say 100 percent for sure."

Shortly after detoxing, he suffered a knee injury that required surgery, but because of his drug abuse, he was not prescribed pain killers. "I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin ... I'm ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin – the big extra strength ones – and a few Valium." With his pill addiction spiraling out of control again, Eminem suffered his second relapse before accepting he suffered from drug addiction.

With his new album, Relapse, due out May 19, Eminem says he has been sober for a year and is ready to return to the spotlight. "I'm back," he says. "Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that ... now rap's getting me high again."

Although I'm not a fan of his music per se, it's nice to see Eminem turning his life around, particularly because his daughter Hailie, 13, is heading into those difficult teen years. She needs a strong role model in her father (and her mom, too) to help her get through the challenges and peer pressure she will face.

Dirk Nowitzki's Fiance Arrested?

Eminem Takes No Chances When It Comes To Swine Flu

Josh loposer — Wed, 06 May 2009 11:32:00 GMT

A 20 pills a day habit? he's done it. A cocktail of valium, methadone, Abien? Eminem has survived it. The man has no concern when it comes to his health ... except when it's threatened by swine flu.

Apparently, Marshall Mathers has bought into the hysteria surrounding the recent swine flu pandemic. When he and his posse arrived in France, a country of 4 out of 60 million had been diagnosed with the flu, they were all donning surgical masks.

There's really no telling if this was a serious precaution, a joke, or just a good excuse for a famous rapper to hide his identity. Still it could mean the start of a healthier, safer Eminem, which is definitely a positive thing for his 13-year-old daughter Hailie Jade Scott.

You don't want to bring home a nasty strain of the swine flu and give it to your family, like what happened to Lisa Rinna's family.

50 Cent and Son Beat Each Other Silly...at Video Games

Karl Erikson — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:38:00 GMT

Believe it or not, 50 Cent has a video game coming out next month. It's called "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand." And Mr. Cent aka Curtis James Jackson is an avid gamer. He and his 11-year-old son Marquise play tons of video games together.

50 Cent's love for the game started out on the tour bus, when he and rapper Eminem battled wits with - wait for it - Ms. Pac Man. "Eminem still wants to play that," 50 says. But when it comes to his son, the 33-year-old rapper says it's a whole other ball game. He laughs, "He's better than me. I don't know how this is happening." Marquise wins time after time.

"He just whips me repeatedly. I'd rather play before I even let him see it. Then, for a little while, it will be exciting because I'll beat him. We talk while we play. He says things like I would say and I'm like, 'You're not supposed to say that. I'm supposed to say that.'"

You know, things like, "I'm gonna put a cap in that cop's ass." Normal everyday stuff.

I have a way to beat kids at video games every time and it sounds like it's right up 50 Cent's alley. Break the kid's fingers.

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.

50 Cent Defends 'Fat' Eminem

HerBadMother — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:01:00 GMT

50 Cent says that people should stop dissing Eminem for his supposed weight gain. Because, you know, it's not nice, and also, because Em's in shape now and will kick your ass.

According to MTV.com, 50 laughed off (in a recent MTV interview) recent rumors that Em — who has all but disappeared from the public eye in recent years — has been packing on the pounds, and that as a result of his weight gain, has become a recluse, venturing out of his Detroit-area mansion only to gorge himself on meals from Taco Bell and Outback Steakhouse. The G-Unit captain insisted that fans are going to be seeing a slim-and-trim Eminem real soon.

"Em is in shape right now. He looks good. I seen him in Detroit. He's gonna look real good when you see him return," Fif laughed. "He's in shape right now."

Rumors started circulating that Eminem was looking like a middle-aged dad (which, um, he is, depending upon how you define 'middle-age') earlier this year when Eminem was admitted to a Detroit hospital for complications arising from pneumonia and it was reported that he weighed over 200 lbs (the approximate weight of a 5 foot 8 nine-month pregnant woman *cough*)

But Fiddy says whatever weight Eminem might have gained in his sabbatical from his previously high-profile life, it's gone now. According to him, Eminem is in fine ballin' form: "The last time I seen him we played basketball together," 50 said. Which, awesome. Fiddy sounds like a great lifestyle coach and personal trainer.

I wonder if he takes post-partum clients?

Moby to Marry Britney Spears?

Whit Honea — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:55:00 GMT

Contrary to Eminem's beliefs, people do actually listen to Moby, and they're hearing some rather interesting stuff. The techno master has been quoted, supposedly, as saying that he would love to make an honest woman out of Miss Brit:

“She’s like this Tennessee Williams tragic figure, the fatter she gets, the weirder she gets, the more I love her. I found her moderately appealing in the late ’90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat.”

What do you think, is Moby step-dad material? He does have a better job than K-Fed.

GQ has compiled a list of men that have been subjected to the proverbial "p" whipping by their bossy and/or powerful women. Many of them are fathers as well. I think there is a big difference between being a dotting dad and wuss, I hope GQ took that into consideration.

That said, here's the list:

25. Mark Consuelos, wife Kelly Ripa
24. Rudolph Giuliani, wife Judy
23. Larry King, wife Shawn Southwick
22. Michael Douglas, wife Catherine Zeta-Jones
21. Seal, wife Heidi Klum
20. Kevin Smith (the Clerks director), wife Jennifer Schwalbach

16. Jack Welch (the former General Electric chair-man and CEO), wife Suzy Wetlaufer
15. Tim Burton, wife Helena Bonham Carter
14. Keith Urban, wife Nicole Kidman
13. Elton John, husband David Furnish
12. John Edwards, former presidential candidate, wife Elizabeth
11. Woody Allen, wife Soon-Yi Previn

9. Howard Stern, wife Beth Ostrosky
8. Rupert Murdoch (Aussie billionaire), wife Wendi Deng

4. Bill Gates, wife Melinda
3. Eminem, wife Kimberly
2. Doug Christie, wife Jackie
1. Guy Ritchie, wife Madonna

There is a slideshow at GQ that explains why each man made the list. It's pretty funny, at least it seems like it is, my wife wouldn't let me read it.

Eminem To Publish His Memoirs

Sassy Smith — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:01:00 GMT

Rapper/singer/songwriter Eminem is set to pen his memoirs and will be published later this year.

The memoir titled Eminem: The Way I Am will feature never seen before photographs, his journal notes, hand-drawn art and lyric sketches by Eminem himself.

Ian Preece, of Orion Books says that the memoirs will reveal truths about the rapper. "Everyone has their own take on Eminem. Because of where he is from, people think they know where he is at, what kind of person he really is. This book cuts through all that and gets to the source. It has to an edge. It'll be one of the books of the year."

Look for the book to hit shelves on October 16th.

50 Cent: Eminem Isn't Doing As Poorly As Reported

Sassy Smith — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:06:00 GMT

Rapper 50 Cent is a friend to Eminem and he says that Eminem isn't doing as badly as was reported. Eminem was said to have gained quite abit of weight - putting him over 200 pounds and on his 5'7" frame, that would make him borderline obese. However, 50 Cent says "he's doing ok" and that earlier reports exaggerated his health issues.

50 Cent is busy these days, going behind the cameras. He said, "I'm starting a production company right now. I decided to come out here to announce my film career, and Vitaminwater is behind me all the way." 50 also mentioned Eminem: "I got a chance to see him a few weeks ago and people think he is in a worse state than he actually is." That's good to know that he's doing better than everyone believed.

As well, the photo that was making the rounds (below), showing Marshall Mathers being quite big, was from the National Enquirer and was labeled as NOW and did not include any disclaimer - was actually a picture that was taken in March of 2006 and was Photoshopped by the Enquirer. Super.

Hopefully the rapper/actor will be back in business soon!

Slim Shady Not So Slim: Eminem Is Fat

Sassy Smith — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 12:03:00 GMT

Music artist Eminem was hospitalized during the Christmas holidays for heart problems and complications from pneumonia. It's been reported that he gained quite a bit of weight and is now over 200 pounds. According to The Enquirer, he's only 5'7" and that would make him borderline obese if he indeed weighs that much.

The above photo is said to be a fairly recent one and I must say he does not look well. Besides the extreme weight gain, he looks pasty and bloated. I really hope he's okay!

Eminem has been dealing with a few personal problems over the past couple of years: the breakup of his second go-round with Kim Mathers, mourning the loss of his best friend, rapper Proof. His mom was fighting stage four breast cancer and although they did reconcile, she wrote a book to cash in on her son's fame, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. His mother says that Marshall suffers from bipolar disorder and that he lied about his "rags to riches" life story.

A source talked about his weight gain:

“He’s got a double chin, a pot-belly and droopy man-breasts. And he’s living a reclusive lifestyle in an attempt to hide his new body,” says the insider.

Eminem’s maternal grandmother Better Kresin told The Enquirer she blames his ongoing food binge on being stressed out about his two failed marriages to ex-wife Kim.

“He really wanted it to work between them, to have a happy family life for their daughter Hailie Jade, something he claims he never had while growing up.”

Whatever is going on with Eminem, I hope he gets it sorted out and gets back to his healthy lifestyle and making music!

Eminem Hospitalized.

HerBadMother — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:29:00 GMT

Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was hospitalized over the holidays because a heart condition and severe pneumonia. And his health has, reportedly, been further complicated by a dramatic weight gain.

"Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers was under doctor's care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia," the rapper's publicist, Dennis Dennehy, said Tuesday. "He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home." TMZ.com elaborated on the statements when they reported that Eminem was rushed to the hospital over the holidays for a serious heart condition and severe pneumonia, and noted that the rapper - formerly a well-muscled lightweight - now weighs in at well over 200 pounds. Rapid and significant weight gain is not good for the heart. (And, no, I will not make any Slim Shady jokes here.)

Here's hoping that he recovers fully, and that he can get back to healthy fighting weight. His kids - and (ahem) his fans - need him.
