The Eminem Show Moving to Neverland? - Posted by Denz on Monday, June 20 2005

Eminem reportedly interested in Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch The controversial rapper, Eminem, has reportedly expressed a desire to purchase Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch outside of Santa Barbara, CA. Eminem has told friends that he has had enough of the Detroit winters and would like to lose himself in the west coast sunshine on the 2,600 acre, multi-million dollar estate. US Weekly has quoted a friend of Eminem who said: "He also has to think about his daughter. He believes California may be a better place to bring up Hailie." Jackson, who reportedly has financial problems, has also said he would never live on the ranch again after the police went through the estate last November seeking evidence related to child molestation charges. However, is it possible the Neverland lifestyle could have a mysterious and haunting effect on Slim Shady? What if we were to enter the ranch and discover all the zoo animals wearing veils? And could that be a white gloved Eminem on top of the Ferris wheel dangling a baby elephant over the edge? Anything is possible when you're living "off the wall" in Neverland.

"Eminem Is An Idiot!" - Posted by Denz on Monday, June 20 2005

Noel Gallagher has laid into the likes of 50 Cent and Eminem for encouraging hoodie yob culture through their images. The Oasis star hit out at the rappers reports this mornings Sun newspaper, saying: “I despise hip-hop. Loathe it. Eminem is an idiot and I find 50 Cent the most distasteful character I have ever crossed in my life. It’s so negative.” “I’m not saying they are directly responsible, but that’s how you end up with these gangs of youths stabbing people. Kids are so thick these days. They’re easily influenced.” He added. Last week Gallagher launched an attack on people who had criticised Oasis for not appearing at the Live 8 concert in London.

snubs Live 8 - Posted by Denz on Wednesday, June 15 2005

Eminem has turned down Live 8 to spend time with his daughter. The controversial rapper admits he was approached by organiser Sir Bob Geldof to perform at either the London or Philadelphia leg of the spectacular charity event but bowed out of performing. Instead, the 'Mockingbird' singer is making the most of a break in his hectic touring schedule to see daughter Hailie. He told BBC's Radio One: "I had to turn it down. I would have done it if the schedule was different but have to make the most of my time with my daughter". Eminem is the latest star to opt out of the charity concert, which is taking place in five different cities simultaneously, including Paris, Berlin and London. Oasis pulled out of the London show in Hyde Park because they have a show in Manchester on the same day, which is being filmed for a documentary, while Radiohead have said 'no' to the event because guitarist Jonny Greenwood has just become a father for the first time. Blur singer Damon Albarn recently attacked the event for not having enough African artists performing on the bill and told organisers he would not be playing because it doesn't show African musicians any "respect".
