This is definitely Eminem’s year. The rapper
turned actor debuts in "8 Miles" this week. The reviews have not only
been in his favor, but the soundtrack accompanying the film has already sold over
500,000 copies and has hit the top of the charts.
The Los Angeles premiere was held last night
with celebrities such as Kim Basinger, Alicia Silverstone, Pam Anderson and
fiancé Kid Rock and Macy strutting their stuff on the red carpet. Even
Christina Aguilera, with whom he’s had major beef with, attended the premiere
in support of his new endeavor. The feature opens wide on Friday, November 8.
Eminem has also partnered with JulianKeys, an
application created by Equate Systems that allows website visitors to access
the content of a website through the keyboard’s function keys [F1-F12]
or a desktop toolbar. Upon downloading the program (located at http://eminem.com/eminemkeys/download),
you’ll get instant access to Eminem content by simply punching your Function
Keys (F1-F12).
Eminem has proven himself to be a successful
hip-hop artist, movie star and businessman in accordance with the times. Quite
surely we can continue to expect more from him in the future.
