Eminem says he felt like Bugs Bunny during his stint in rehab. The rapper, who just launched his latest album Relapse, admits his worldwide fame left him feeling like a cartoon character when he checked into rehab in 2005 to receive treatment for drug addiction.
Marshall Mathers told BBC Radio One, “When I landed myself in rehab in 2005 I felt like I wanted to reassess everything. I remember sitting in rehab thinking, ‘Is this what it comes to, really?’ So when I got out I knew I needed to pull back from the spotlight because of the fame thing. I was like Bugs Bunny in rehab, Bugs Bunny walking in the room. The second you walk in the room…There were some people who were as supportive as they could be, some people that were like, ‘I don’t look at you as Eminem. I’m seeing you as Marshall.’”
Eminem recently revealed he wanted to kill himself at the height of his problems. According to him, he just wasn’t taking care of himself, and at times wanted to just give up. “I was in a dark place. I wanted to pull back from the spotlight to reassess my whole career. I got sober but it was pretty rough. A couple of years were bad for me.”

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Music, Videos, Paparazzi Videos, Where Are They Now?,
Surrounded by the paps as she ambled down the sidewalk on what was obviously a slow celebrity day, American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee gamely kept her cool as she was hounded by pushy press and bright, flashing bulbs. She seemed fine if a little frazzled in the middle of the media crush, but she was all on her own until a single heroine stepped forth.
Found out who saved McPhee - and how - by viewing the video after the jump.

Angie Martinez, Irv Gotti argue over real-cash Monopoly
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Meltdowns, Parties, Rants, Videos,
See what happens when you have so much money that you can play Monopoly with real cash, but not enough that you can’t do it in a carefree fashion with $3500 is up for grabs? In this video Irv Gotti and Angie Martinez argue amongst friends, with Joe Budden capturing it all on video. Careful though, there’s a lot of salty language in this one. Oh, and a lot of loud, obnoxious Irv as well.

Conflicting press reports and the overall loopy nature of American Idol judge Paula Abdul makes it hard to pin down the answer, but there’s a lot of rumor regarding the Idol panelist and drug abuse. The burning question seems to be, is she addicted…or not?
An upcoming issue of Ladies Home Journal will reveal that Paula Abdul suffered painkiller addiction and sought treatment for this affliction, but practically on the heels of giving the interview Abdul has denounced pretty much the entire thing. “I was quoted as something I didn’t say,” she tried to explain the situation on a recent radio show.
So…was Paula Abdul ever addicted to painkillers? Did she go to rehab for this problem? She’s saying no…but only after she said yes first. Confused? That’s just classic Paula Abdul.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s Big Screen PDA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music,
UPDATE: You can see JT’s explanation for the kiss here.
Lakers fans got more than they bargained for at last night’s game. The competition may have been on the floor, but the action was along the sidelines.
Try to guess the story behind this picture:
- Justin Timberlake was using the “Kiss Cam” to prove that he and Jessica are still an item.
- The singer just can’t get enough screen time.
- The nude pics of Jessica Biel in Powder Blue had him feeling a little possessive.
- Justin and Jessica really love their basketball and wanted everyone at the Staples Center to know it.

Okay, by now you’ve already heard Susan Boyle’s audition for Britain’s Got Talent. (If you haven’t, I pray someone pulls you out from under that rock.) But have you heard her cover the blues?
A recording the 48-year-old made ten years ago recently surfaced and is now making its way through the internet. The song, titled “Cry Me a River” (not the Justin Timberlake version), was done a for a charity album. After listening to the track, I believe it’s an even better performance than her cover of Les Miserables’ “I Dream a Dream.” (You can watch that clip for the millionth time here.)
