Eminem Prank Calls LL Cool J During Radio Show
Originally posted 06/12/2008 01:45PM
MTVEminem resurfaced Tuesday night on his Sirius Satellite radio station, Shade 45, to play a joke on fellow rapper LL Cool J, during a segment on Tony Touch's Toca Tuesday show, MTVnews.com reports.
LL Cool J was a guest on the show, when fan calls began to pour in. One caller identified himself as "Jason from Miami." Jason, a self-proclaimed "die hard LL fan" challenged the rap pioneer to a game of Name That Tune with Cool J's own lyrics.
"I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I'll try … I'll play the game with you! Why not?" Cool J laughed as 'Jason' began to recite rhymes. Cool J immediately recognized the first line from his song "Eat Em Up L Chill."

50 Cent Laughs Off Eminem Weigh-Gain Stories
Originally posted 04/25/2008 06:30PM
50 Cent says don't believe the hype about his pal, Eminem, allegedly gaining weight.
"Em is in shape right now," 50 Cent tells MTV News. "He looks good. I seen him in Detroit. He's gonna look real good when you see him return."
Stories about Eminem's health and physique have been circulating for months. The Detroit-based rapper (real name Marshall Mathers) has been virtually absent from the music scene for the last year.
In January, Eminem was hospitalized with pneumonia, and a report claimed that his weight had ballooned more than 200 lbs.
But 50 Cent says his old friend is doing fine. "The last time I seen him we played basketball together," he told MTV. "He had a knee injury, so we chilled for a little bit."

Eminem Plans Tell-All Memoir
Originally posted 02/22/2008 07:00AM
You've seen the movie, now read the book.
Eminem – who starred in the semi-autobiographical 8 Mile – is set to publish his life story, complete with photographs, hand-drawn sketches, lyrics and journal notes from the Detroit-born rapper.
The memoir, entitled Eminem: The Way I Am, is scheduled to hit shelves in the U.K. this October, according to Ian Preece, a senior commissioning editor at Orion Books.
"Everyone has their own take on Eminem," he said in a statement to British music journal NME. "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."
But Eminem's camp said the project was still a work-in-progress, and blasted the London-based publisher for leaking the news.
