Eminem Celebrity Gossip and Music News

Talk is cheap with 50 cent

Did you know Superstar rappers 50 Cent and Eminem talk to each other on the telephone daily, even if they have nothing to say?!
Despite their badboy reputations, the pair have become such good friends that they spend hours gossiping to one another on the phone each week.
50 Cent is quoted as saying: "He'll call and I'll say, 'What's going on?' and he'll say, 'Nothing.'
"I'll say, 'well what do you want?' He calls because he knows he can say whatever. He can have nothing to do and say, 'I'm going to call 50.'
"I credit everything that's going on with me to Em - he gave me a shot." (Ireland on Line)

Eminem's Home Movies Made Public

Eminem's new video for upcoming single Mockingbird features home movie family footage of him, his ex-wife Kim Mathers and daughter Hailie before he was famous.
The song is dedicated to Eminem's daughter and niece Laney and features the rapper recalling the difficult times he has had as a dad and how he explained his ex-wife's imprisonment for drug offences to the two girls.

Secret Long-lost Sister

Superstar Eminem has a long-lost sister who he has never met. Sarah Mathers was at a family barbecue when she first noticed the SLIM SHADY star on the TV - but remained unconvinced the controversial rapper was the same son her father Marshal Mathers II had abandoned 31 years ago.
Sarah, 23, says, "I'd known all my life that I had another brother, but Eminem? They'd got to be kidding. I giggled at the thought of it, then went back to join the rest of my family. But when my dad saw the resemblance between the two men (Eminem and half-brother Michael), he didn't brush it off He phoned his great-aunt Edna, who'd helped look after Dad's oldest son before he split from his ex-wife, and she told him it was Marshall Mathers. Eminem was my brother." (contactmusic.com)

Smith's rap revenge on Eminem

Will Smith has got his own back on Eminem for insulting him in rap The Real Slim Shady - by recording a track called Mr Nice which mocks the hip-hop star's bitter and jealous nature.

Eminem famously wrote the lyrics, "Will Smith don't got to curse in his raps to sell records/ well I do, so f**k him and f**k you too," so Smith has written a track which contradicts Eminem's claim, by using a swear word to describe the Stan star.

Smith explains: "Life has put us in a situation where we're pitted against each other. But my track tells the truth." (Ireland on Line)
