"Eminem News"

Controversial rapper Eminem shocked onlookers at a scheduled appearance Thursday by keeping his mouth shut. Respectably attired in a dark blue suit and wire-rimmed glasses. Eminem said next to nothing during a brief visit to the 37th District Court in Warren, Mich. standing by quietly as one of his three attorneys, Walter Piszczatowski, waived the star's right to a preliminary exam in his pending case on two felony weapons charges. When asked by Judge Sherman Faunce if he understood his rights he responded, "Yes sir." The case will now move forward to a hearing scheduled for Sept. 25 in Macomb County Circuit Court. Eminem (real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III) faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon, stemming from a June 4 incident in which he allegedly pistol-whipped John Guerra, after catching the man kissing the rap star's wife outside the Hot Rocks night club in Warren. Faunce also granted the defense attorney's request to allow the Grammy-winning performer to travel outside the United States.

A previous bond had restricted Eminem's movements within the country, and earlier this summer, he was forced to cancel appearances at British festivals. He is still required to inform the authorities of his where abouts while on the road. Carrying a concealed weapon carries a five-year sentence, while assault with a dangerous weapon is good for four years. Macomb County Prosecutor Carl Marlinga has speculated that Eminem could face up to 17 months in jail if found guilty. But the rapper's representatives seemed hopeful Thursday. His lawyers think they are going to be able to handle the case favorably, and they are also looking forward to getting it behind them. Piszczatowski told the press afterward, adding that Eminem is excited about returning to the studio and getting back to making music. But that may not happen any time soon, judging from Mathers' itinerary of upcoming court appearances. Eminem is due in Oakland Circuit Court on Sept. 18 for a pretrial hearing on additional weapons charges related to an incident on the same June weekend, where he allegedly threatened an employee of rival Detroit hip-hop act Insane Clown Posse. He reportly did it because ICP made fun of the Slim Shady on there web site.

The rapper is also involved in a civil suit filed by Guerra, and another to the tune of $11 million and know she turn the sue to $1 million filed by his mother, Deborah Mathers-Briggs, who claims he defamed her in songs and interviews, painting her as a drug abuser with a penchant for filing frivolous lawsuits. Coincidentally, the judge who was originally scheduled to hear Eminem's exam Thursday, Dawnn Gruenburg, excused herself after learning that her father, attorney Roy Gruenberg, once represented Mrs. Mathers-Briggs in a case, which was later dismissed, where she sought damages of $10,000, alleging that her son had sustained serious injuries in schoolyard fights with another student.

On top of all this, Eminem is in the middle of divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, Kimberly Scott Mathers, who dropped her own $10 million suit on Monday, the same day that he agreed to relinquish claims to partial custody of their 4-year old daughter. And know Eminem is ready to take the big screen. He plans to be a villain in a Denzel Movie. You knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Eminem is thinking about starring in the forthcoming Denzel Washington flick "Training Day."Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures are wooing Slim Shady to play the villain in the flick about a veteran Los Angeles Police Department cop (Washington) breaking in a rookie narcotics officer.
