Posted Jun 26th 2011 at 02:06 PM by AOL Music Editors

Now, in the new video for 'Space Bound,' the latest single from Em's 2010 blockbuster album, 'Recovery,' we see two versions of the Detroit rapper playing out ...

Eminem Proves Rappers Can Rock at Bonnaroo

Posted Jun 13th 2011 at 01:05 AM by Spinner Editors

When the lineup for Bonnaroo 2011 was released back in February, some fans thought it skewed a little too far left of the festival's jammy roots. Eminem -- whose name usually dominates mainstream and rap album charts -- didn't seem like a natural fit for the festival's big tenth anniversary but on Saturday night, June 11, the Detroit native proved otherwise. On the brink of releasing a new ...

Correction: Twitter Account By Eminem's Daughter Hailie Is a Fake

Posted Mar 15th 2011 at 01:35 PM by PopEater Staff

UPDATE: Congratulations, Twitter user @Angry_Blonde. You fooled the internet into thinking you were Eminem's 15-year-old daughter Hailie. Despite convincing tweets (see: casually referencing her and her father's birthdays accurately; tweeting a photo purportedly from "daddy's helli-choppa"; numerous other small, unfussy details), @Angry_Blonde is not Eminem's daughter. Eminem's publicist and ...

Posted Feb 25th 2011 at 12:20 AM by Boombox Editors

A lot has happened in the dozen years since Dr. Dre released a solo album. A lot. Dre's much-storied third album, 'Detox,' is kinda like hip-hop's own 'Chinese Democracy.' Except that everyone expects great things from this one. It's almost time to finally cash in those chips for the money and the big payoff: After years of hearing Dre's collaborators -- including Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube -- ...

Eminem might be the luckiest guy in the world. It's not because he has countless hit songs and albums to his credit.

Will Eminem's Chrysler Commercial Boost Detroit Auto Sales?

Posted Feb 7th 2011 at 07:38 PM by Rebecca Macatee

Ah, this year's Super Bowl didn't disappoint. Christina Aguilera flubbed the lyrics to the national anthem. The Black Eyed Peas performed a halftime show that was entertainingly bad, and the winning team's quarterback Aaron Rodgers is even rumored to be dating 'Gossip Girl's' Jessica Szohr. The commercials were great, too, of course. Kim Kardashian really "stepped it up" for Skechers. Justin ...
