Eminem in rehab with pill problem
Rauncy rapper Eminem has checked himself into a rehab center to treat an addiction to sleeping pills, his record label said yesterday.
"Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, is in the hospital under doctors' care," Interscope said in a statement. "He is being treated for dependency on sleep medication."
Eminem, 32, checked into the hospital on Tuesday, accompanied by two burly bodyguards, Star magazine reported.
"He looked really rough, weak and tired out," a source told Star.
An Interscope spokeswoman declined to name the sleeping medication involved.
It has been a rough month for Slim Shady, who on Tuesday canceled a 10-date European tour, citing "exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues."
Last week, his aunt and uncle were the latest family members to file suit against Eminem. Betty and Jack Schmitt claim the rapper is trying to evict them from a house he built for them and isn't paying them a promised annual $100,000 stipend.
His legal woes and a renewed relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Mathers, contributed to Eminem's troubles, family insiders told Star.
With a Vicodin tattoo on his left arm, the nine-time Grammy Award-winning rapper has deep roots to drug culture. "I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers," he raps in one song, "Purple Pills." "But nothing compares to these blue and yellow purple pills."
