Mandela B-Day Party To Feature Amy Winehouse And Leona Lewis--But No Eminem?
Amy Winehouse with a bloody nose and a tit out singing "Happy Birthday" in her best Marilyn Monroe—what 90-year-old man wouldn't be flattered by that? Winehouse and/or Leona Lewis will hopefully turn a former political prisoner's dream into reality when they perform at Nelson Mandela's birthday jam on June 27. Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, and Sun City entertainers Queen will also perform, but there's still no confirmation of Eminem's rumored performance. Allegedly the organizers "want to take both Mandela and the audience by surprise." Ooh, think Shady will jump out of a cake?

Three Genuinely Terrible Songs From Three Genuinely Great Albums
MSNBC has a piece about "terrible songs from great albums." Immediately, we decided it was bullshit. "Long And Winding Road" sucks, sure, but is Let It Be a classic album? Isn't it frequently considered the Beatles' worst? Even though Maura wasn't like "'My World' isn't terrible" in my IM window , who thinks Use Your Illusion II is the GNR album to grab? (I wouldn't know, I don't buy albums with "Estranged" on them.) "Endless, Nameless" wasn't even on my cassette copy of Nevermind, and plenty of people love it. Calling just one song on Synchronicity embarrassing seems like a cheat, and I think "EXP" is cute as hell. So here are a few truly disgusting tracks from otherwise excellent albums.

Science Asks (Again): Does The Rap Music Make You Hate Women?
Do-gooding researchers whose findings will invariably be twisted by politicos and other civic leaders are at it again—this time at science hub North Carolina State University, where a pair of professors have undertaken an experiment to determine whether hip-hop causes men (and ladies) to act in a more misogynistic manner. The answer? Maybe, if you're already a sexist jerk. Alas, society looks to once again be to blame, as while auditioning records by noted woman-hating jackass Eminem did seem to cause a spike in subjects' sexist thinking, it turns out those cuddly Buddhists the Beastie Boys likewise had men exhibiting a certain anitpathy towards the ladies.

Eminem Courted By Diet Company To Relinquish What Little Dignity He Has Left
Oh noes! Eminem is fat! Supposedly! And true or not, this is still America and it cannot stand! We can't have our pop stars, even the reclusive aging kind, walking around with a even teeny paunches hanging over their droopy drawers. That's why the evil shake shills at Slim-Fast have stepped in to make everything better again for "Slim-Fast Shady." (Ha ha! I get it!) And what advice does the company have for Em when it comes to righting his unhealthy lifestyle? Unsurprisingly, it involves eating right, exercise, and whoring himself for Slim-Fast.

Taylor Swift Has Surprisingly Decent Flow
Country ingenue Taylor Swift was a mere tot (well, OK, a preteen) when Eminem's "Lose Yourself" made it big, but apparently its message stuck with the 18-year-old singer, as evidenced by this pretty spot-on snippet of the song that she performed live in California late last spring. You know, this rendition of his most motivational hit may be just what Eminem needs to rouse himself from the burrito-clouded, hermitlike state that he's currently existing in. Someone get her (and a chaperone) on a plane! [YouTube, via koganbot]
Eminem's Mom Thinks He's Committing Chalupa-Assisted Suicide
Any time an Eminem story gets posted to five blogs, his estranged mom Debbie pops up for a retort, Candyman/Beetlejuice-style. And so not a week after we reported that an increasingly rotund Marshall is currently recovering from a holiday hospital visit thanks to a serious case of pneumonia, Deb's blabbing to the Brit tabloids, painting a greasy, acne-covered picture of her son's current hermit-esque lifestyle that sounds a lot like... he's a blogger, right down to all the Styrofoam containers and empty beer bottles he swears he's gonna finally throw away tonight.

Eminem Takes Time Off From Declining Career To Catch Life-Threatening Cold
Eminem is sick! Not so sick that he's now dead, but sick enough that he had to be "rushed to the hospital... over the holidays." Meaning Eminem is still famous enough for this to make the news, but maybe not famous enough for anyone to find out until a week or two after the fact. So what's wrong with him?

Listening Station: Eminem Gets A Cranky Crank Call
Last week, the tale of one Kyle Spratt—an overzealous Eminem fan who snagged his hero's phone number after stealing Kim Mathers' cell phone from her while she was at a Windsor, Ont., bingo hall, then called him to request a tete-a-tete—made its way around the Internet, prompting many pundits to dub the 18-year-old aspiring rapper "the real-life Stan." Over the weekend, the incensed Spratt released "Slim Sellout," an Eminem diss track where he samples Em's attempts to disguise his voice and claims that Encore was a crap album, on his MySpace page; he's since taken it down, perhaps because of the murky legality of Spratt's recording his phone conversations with Eminem and the Detroit police. Thankfully, Nah Right snatched the MP3, so you can hear Em's admittedly hilarious attempts to disguise his pipes and see just how angry a scorned fan of Marshall Mathers can get.
