Em's Mother on sueing her son
WENN reports Eminem's mother Debbie Mathers is waiting for her son to apologize to her so that the pair can be reunited. Debbie insists she never meant to sue her son, things just got out of control. "I never intended to sue my son. The lawsuit was my attempt to hold on to my home," Debbie said. "I'd given Marshall my trailer to rent when I moved back to Missouri. But Kim fell behind with the payments. I figured I had to sell it to pay the debt, but she wouldn't let me. She threatened me with a lawyer, so I consulted one myself. Then the whole thing just escalated. The first thing I knew, I swear, was when Marshall rang me and said, 'Mom, why are you suing me for $10 million?' I nearly fell over. It was ludicrous. Then word got out and the world saw me as an evil bitch from hell. What mother sues her own son? I was cursed in public, spat at in shopping malls."

responsibility to make decisions about what they want their children
to hear. You get only one shot at being a parent, and you have to do
what you think is right. Nothing against Eminem on a personal level
or against the way he expresses himself, but I wouldn't want my son
listening to him."
Suge on Eminem
Suge: How could Dre can make a song dissing Jemaine Dupri with a white boy? I ain't no racist motherfucker, but he ain't fit to get in our game and talk about our people.

I don't give a fuck how much you wanna act black, "Boy you ain't no nigga" People need to listen what he says, the motherfucker sounds like he Elvis. He's the first whiteboy to make more money off black people than Elvis.

Some Florida cops owe Eminem an apology
Some Florida cops owe Eminem an apology. That's because the rapper was, until earlier today (11/12), listed on the Monroe County Sheriff's Office web site as having been arrested for possession of 250 rocks of crack cocaine and a marijuana stash. The bust of "Eminem Marshall Mathers," which supposedly occurred on December 26, 2000 in Key West, never happened, according to red-faced cops. After TSG asked about the rapper's purported drug-dealing arrest, Deputy Becky Herrin acknowledged that the sheriff's office had published erroneous information on its web site, but was unable to say whether the bogus report "happened during training or if it was someone goofing off." Herrin said the posting was "inappropriate. We apologize for that. We're looking into how it happened. And we'll discuss it with the responsible party if they're still here." Herrin added that details of Eminem's supposed drug arrest have "probably" been on the Monroe County web site for about two years (but that information was removed this morning following our inquiries). For posterity's sake, TSG made the below screen grabs from the sheriff's web site before it was scrubbed. Along with the Eminem bust, Monroe County cops also had to delete information of the phony arrests of Mr. Gay and Ms. Coffee. (1 page) Slim Shady's
