Eminem's Mom is Cleanin' Out Her Closet

From Marshall Mathers III's days as an elementary school student mimicking his favorite superheroes, his mother, Debbie Nelson, knew he was going to be a star. "Marshall used to bounce all the time and hum against the wall when he'd get tired, or he would sit on the couch or sit in the car and bounce and hum," Nelson told the BoomBox about the man now known as Eminem. "Everybody would say, 'That kid's retarded.' But nobody could say anything about my son."

She may have stuck up for her son but the tables were turned on Eminem's albums. She fervently supported his career but Nelson fell victim to his vicious rap attacks, most notably on the song 'Cleanin' Out My Closet.' In discussing her book, 'My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting the Record Straight,' Nelson rationalized Eminem's rants by saying it was easier for him to attack their relationship than his ties to the family of his wife, Kim.

"There's nothing I wouldn't have done for my son," said Nelson, who does not currently have a relationship with the rap star. "When he first went out there, pressing those tapes and stuff with the (1996) 'Infinite' album, I was passing them out to all of my limousine customers. He told me, 'Mom, "positive" is not selling.'

"When he went negative and had to be different and was very creative, he thought, 'I'll just attack mom because if I attack Kim's family they'll go after me and sue me. But if I attack my mother, it'll be different.' We were all surprised on that bill."

However, Eminem's mom did sue her son for $10 million because of his lyrics and comments to the media. She won about $25,000. In the opening words of Chapter 19, Nelson says, "I did not mean to sue my son for defamation. I just wanted to stop my home being repossessed and clear up the financial problems that had been caused." She wrote that her lawyer said suing Eminem would be a "wake-up call" and he would stop demeaning her publicly. Apparently it didn't work, as a year later he released "Cleanin' Out My Closet," a scathing testimony to the way his mother treated him as a child.

The lawsuit came on the heels of what Nelson calls a onetime strong relationship. She allowed him to explore his creativity through his dressing up as Batman, Robin or Spider-Man and went to great lengths to make her son happy. She said she does not worry about her son's reaction to the book.

"If anything, it blows him up," said Nelson, who has not heard leaked versions of Eminem's new material. "It shows I'm a very proud mother."

An Eminem Comeback In The Works ??

Could the old king of rap be ready to make his comeback? It's been awhile since we've heard from Eminem. He announced his music "retirement," and has been very quiet lately. He's definitely been MIA lately.

Never fear - rumors are beginning to swirl around on the Internet. Slim Shady may be starting to record his first album since 2004. Has it been that long?

A protege of Slim Shady's, Bishop Lamont, says that Em is excited to be working on the project. And added that
he's apparently "got a lot to get off his chest." I can imagine, think of all the crazy celeb drama that's been going on that Em hasn't been around to make fun of.

Could this mean that Eminem is really going to make a comeback?

Bishop Lamont also stated that Eminem was "emotionally devastated" following the killing of his friend and rapper Proof back in 2006, who was formerly of the group, D-12. He is now channeling his feelings into his music. We can't wait for this, we hope the rumors are true!

Celebrity Book News

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are working on a coffee table book about fashion called "Influence." The book will be released this fall by a division of Penguin Group and will include "exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before-seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley's personal collections," according to a statement from the publishing company.

"Mary-Kate and I have filled 'Influence' with the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know - the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation," Ashley Olsen said in a statement.

"Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others," Mary-Kate Olsen said about their inclusion of artists and designers such as Bob Colacello, Terry Richardson and Jack Pierson.

In other book news, rapper Eminem is reportedly working on an autobiography titled "The Way I Am." Due to be released by Dutton Books this fall, the book will be "every bit as raw and uncensored as the man himself," the rapper's publisher said.

Described as an intimate look into the life of the star, Eminem's spokesperson said it "is still in the process of being written and edited."

"The Way I Am" will be the second book for Eminem; his 2002 "Angry Blonde" detailed his often-controversial lyrics.

Eminem Ain't 'Slim' Shady Anymore!

Eminem has been hospitalized due to pneumonia, but reports are saying that he's gained a lot of weight since falling out of the celebrity limelight. Sources have claimed that Em's weight has ballooned to over 200 lbs.

Eminem 's publicist told TMZ: "Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, was under doctor's care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia. He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home."
