Eminem Has To Pay For His Fans To Show Up

Filed under: TV News > Music Minute > Eminem > Jimmy Kimmel

wenn141796__opt1.jpg

For some inexplicable reason, Jimmy Kimmel has just booked Eminem for THREE performances on his show this month, on three sperate evenings.

Seriously, has Kimmel even heard Eminem's latest album, Relapse? It's shiteous.

We know Nick Cannon thinks so too.

But it turns out Miss Marshall is doing something nice in return. Publicity stunt, but still nice.

According to reports, Eminem is flying out 200 laid-off auto workers from Toledo’s Ohio Modular Management. They're the ones responsible for building the Jeep Wrangler, and they're all going to be part of Kimmel's audience on May 15th when Eminem does his first performance.

Guess Feminem needs to pay to have guests show up for him?

Jon Michael Zapf, who works for the company, revealed, “He is flying us out, all expenses paid, for the show to put a face on the American auto workers who are affected by this hardship. He is supposed to do a meet and greet and sign autographs.”

The workers flying to LA for the taping are from different auto plants in Michigan and Ohio who were laid off and do not receive certain sub-pay benefits.

    Wow are you kidding me? He tries to do something nice, and you spin the fucking story. Your a BIG fucking douche bag.



  2. 2

    i will say this until you learn - dont judge hip hop until you learn what real music is.
    and i wouldnt say its quite a stunt - he doesnt really need to do stunts - hes just doing something nice. but whatever helps you sleep at night.



  3. 3

    I think thats pretty nice of him.



  4. 4

    Nice spin on this story fat boy. You should get a job at Fox News!



  5. 5

    Don't think you're an expert on what makes an album great. Anyone who thinks SkankyLady CaCa is wonderful has no taste in music. When she says she has a big homo following she's talking about you lardass.



  6. 6

    Do you know how fu*king stupid you sound Peretzel?
    "we know nick cannon thinks so too"….
    wtf, Who gives a flying shit what he thinks about anything…STFU!!!



  7. 7

    What's with all the hate on Eminem?

    He's hot



  8. 8

    I have a Jeep Wrangler and I love it!! Too bad it's one of the few good cars they make. I appluad the em-man for the effort, but I think auto worker unions are going to have to make huge concessions to make it in the future.



  9. 9

    Funny how you turned this story around to make Eminem look like an asshole.

    Ever since Prejean and the Miss USA pageant, you just aren't funny anymore. Sad.



  10. 10

    did eminem have a facelift??



  11. 11

    he's so cheesy.



  12. 12

    And also no rapper will ever top Bone Thugs n Harmony and Mobb Deep, and throw DMX in there as well :-D .



  13. 13

    Re: Temptat1on – I agree, 100%



  14. 14

    wtf perez, he can't do something nice without u being a dick. u may not like his music bc u have no taste, but his music is really good. so f u perez



  15. 15

    wait how could this be anything but good ? you really think he as to pay 200 fans to show up ? any city in the US i am beting he can get 200 fans there in seconds.

  16. Bree says – reply to this


    16

    Wow…he is doing something NICE and you of course somehow turn it around to make it sound like a bad thing. Do you realize how fuckin idiotic you just made yourself sound??



  17. 17

    Thats an extremely nice thing to do and Perez has to hate on it because Em doesnt chug Manjuice. Get a life spunkmop.



  18. 18

    wow fat body you really are a scum bag. Yea eminem is such a loser he has to fly in laid off auto workers to see his performance. Do you listen to yourself talk/think fat body? before you you write. you are a fucking tool. he's doing a good thing and your criticizing him. Shouldn't you be out shoving Pinks in your mouth like you do cock you worthless sack of shit.



  19. 19

    You are such a douche Mario. No matter what he does you just put your bullshit spin on it to make it seem negative. You suck!



  20. 20

    Alright Marshall, let's not try and change the subject . . . . . you still need to "publicly" apologize to Mariah for calling her a f@#king whore in your latest "hit" single.



  21. 21

    Eminem is fucking DOPE and more talented than 99% of the other rejects you post about on this blog. You fucking fat hater go smoke some cock.



  22. 22

    ha! you have become quite predictable and boring lately.



  23. 23

    AWWW THAT IS AWESOME!!!! he is shedding a light of hope to a town that is dwindling down to nothing…trust me i know… I LIVE IN TOLEDO!!! it is really nice that he wants to do something for those who are experiencing such a shitty time right now!!!! HE HAS MY SUPPORT AND MY MONEY ON THAT NEW ALBUM :) RAP ON BROTHA RAP ON!!!! perez you suck ass for trying to bring him down for it!!!! you should only be so fuckin lucky to have any fans to do that for…but why would you do that anyway you selfish bastard!!!!!



  24. 24

    He's doing something nice, Perez. You're making yourself look like a total prick!

    And on a side-note, his new album is awesome! It takes fans back to the style Em had when he first came out! He really seems like he has that hunger back. I would even go so far as to say it's his most lyrically creative album thus far, every track is HOT!



  25. 25

    dude… the guy is actually doing something cool and you are ragging on him?! please. i bet if lady gaga flew 200 out of work auto workers to a show, you would be allllll over it.

    double standards all over the place, perez



  26. 26

    P'rez don't be so lame! Em's new song is a hit, not shit. You're jealous he didn't shout u out! Remember "were the ones who made you!"



  27. 27

    HE'S JUST DOING SOMETHING NICE YOU BUTT PLUG!!! I WANT TO PLAY WITH HIS HOT CHEST ALL NIGHT LONG.



  28. 28

    Eminem is great. Sorry that you, "Perez," are such a talentless hater. Your 15 minutes are almost over.



  29. 29

    Sounds like a great thing. Why do you have to kick someone for doing a nice thing? When is the last time that you shelled out cash for someone who is jobless?



  30. 30

    You really are a pathetic waste of saggy skin. He is doing something nice and you slam him for even that. Get over the fact that he doesn't want your nasty ass.



  31. 31

    IDIOT! Em is being nice to those ppl you should try to be nice to someone too… he is nothing but a caring human being trying to give some fun to the Toledo's Ohio ppl… Perez you can be a real douche!



  32. 32

    Aww that's really nice of Eminem. BTW Relapse is fucking awesome, serious no one can put words together and ride a beat like Eminem.



  33. 33

    IDIOT! Em is being nice to those ppl you should try to be nice to someone too… he is nothing but a caring human being trying to give some fun to the Toledo's Ohio ppl… Perez you can be a real douche!!!



  34. 34

    I agree with the first poster. He is actually doing something for the HARD WORKING AMERICAN folks and you spin it into your crap fest. I used to enjoy this site but lately you just make shit up as you go along and down as many celebrities as you can. I really wish that people struggling in our economy could have taken their mom's out for a nice weekend like you did. You managed to get famous from doing this crap. /sigh



  35. 35

    hey shit head eminem is just trying to do something nice and youre making him sound like a dick and his album RELAPSE is brilliant and you probably dont like it because he dosent mention YOU in it once and you always want the attention.



  36. 36

    Em never forgot where he came from. How nice of him to do this.

    Perez - admit this is nice! Em done good.



  37. 37

    I'm not sure who pissed in your Cheerios this morning, but I think what he's doing is really nice.



  38. 38

    Nick Cannon is a gold digging slut who eats Mariah Carey's feces for breakfast.



  39. 39

    If it was Lady Caca or Katy Parry, Perez would be gushing their praises. Because it's someone he doesn't like, he rags on a good deed. Hypocrisy should be the name of this blog.



  40. 40

    perez, you are being a douche, he is actually doing something nice and then you try to spin shit around?! you are pathetic. also, what they hell are you talking about? YOU have no taste in good music. relapse is awesome, im glad eminem is bad to his old school ways, and bagpipes from bagdad where he tries mariah and prick cannon, is hilarious!



  41. 41

    That is so awesome of him to do this for those people. They need a break…times are so bad for so many people here in Michigan and Ohio as well with most of the jobs here being eliminated. There are so many people here that can't afford to feed their families and are losing their houses all over the place. He is providing these people with an experience they will never forget. You're an ASSHOLE for criticizing him for ANYTHING. You don't do shit for anyone.



  42. 42

    Ummmm, he's doing something nice. Why is this such a bad thing?



  43. 43

    And tell me, Perez, just why is this a bad thing?



  44. 44

    Re: Scott666 – hahahaha! soo truuu



  45. 45

    WOW MAYBE IT'S ME BUT WHY DOES BRETT MICHEALS POP INTO MY MIND WHEN I SEE THIS PICTURE



  46. 46

    Sounds to me like he is doing something nice for people that lost their jobs you Jizz guzzling fudge packing loser. When was the last time you ever did something for anyone other than your fat ugly self. You stupid fucking fame whore.



  47. 47

    Go to defamer people better site than asshole perez. This site is so shit now. I only visit it when I am constipated and need to evacuate my bowels



  48. 48

    i signed up to leave a comment how wrong it was to slag off eminem for doing something nice in this world of hate and negativity and saw that almost every comment reflected my thoughts. work on your own positivity perez and applaud a good deed when it's done. i'm disappointed in you and i don't even know you!



  49. 49

    I think it's awesome that he's flying out laid off workers to see his show. If anything he's doing the economy and these people a favor. Who cares what his album sounds like. Let's focus on the nice thing he's doing for these people.



  50. 50

    U FAIL



  51. 51

    Perez is a stupid, fat idiot. The ONLY reason he is constantly talking shit about Eminem all the time is because Perez is hoping to piss Eminem off so that Emineme will rap about Perez and get Perez's name in one of Em's songs. But Eminem- unlike Perez McFattyFat- is NOT an idiot and knows what Perez is after, which is why you'll find no trash talk or even Perez' name in one of Eminem's songs. Perez is just desperately hoping to get his name included in some of Eminem's rhymes cuz he's a pathetic, desperate retard like that and knows that his 15 minutes of fame are close to coming to an end. Perez is on his way to being a has-been, but Eminem is already a hip-hop legend in the making. And for the record, Eminem's new record is really, REALLY good.



  52. 52

    Either Perez has a hard-on for Eminem and is trying to cover it up or he has some issue with Eminem's alleged homophobia. Whatever it is he hasn't been giving the man the credit he deserves. His first single was shit and that seemed to taint the rest of the album. Even though the rest of the album is actually pretty fucking good. Not his best but a vast improvement from Encore. And it's a shit-load better than any other hip-hop album around at the moment. But has Perez ever shown a decent taste in music? I don't think he really has the track record to say if an album is good or not.



  53. 53

    Of course Eminem is better known to Trailer Park Boys fans as JRoc.



  54. 54

    okay, this is kind of a turning point for me. I HATE YOU NOW YOU f****king gay bitch. Eminems album is great, you shpould listen to the lyrics, but you like meanless mainstream shit like Lady GaGa and Katy Perry. Eminem is doing something nice to fly out this hard workers (hard work…something you dont know) and all you do is talking shit.



  55. 55

    man, your a fat prick perez. hope you get cancer. your such a fucking dick

    plus yer puss is beelin!!!!!!!



  56. 56

    You`re just pathetic, Perez. Stop trying to piss Eminem off so you can get your ugly, fake name in one of his songs. Unlike you, it`s true.

    My friend is the UAW chairmen @ Ohio Module Manufactoring in Toledo ( the plant they are talking about) Eminem is flying out Michigan workers only in support of the big 3, OMM was chosen because Toledo spent well over $10 million to help "Keep Jeep in Toledo" and now the want to close it



  58. 58

    Get fucked, Perez. The way you talk about Eminem and other certain celebrities makes me cringe. Especially Eminem because you have a crush or him or something. If you ever get to interview him, or his says your name, or mentions you even a bit, you know you're gonna plaster his white ass all over your site, and be like "OMGZZZZ EMZY IS SUPER NICE!!!!! HIS ALBUMZ ARE SO GUUUUD!!!!!11 A TRUEEE TALENT!!!!"

    Em's new album is "shiteous"? I bet you didn't even listen to it at all… like you listened to the first 10 seconds of each song and skipped it. This album is better than 98% of the shit that is played on the radio these days.

    DUMBASSSSSSSSS.

    It's really nice what he's doing for those autoworkers.



  59. 59

    I think it's nice, where i live 550 Chrysler workers will be out of a job next year, closing our Kenosha Chrylser plant



  60. 60

    You don't have to be an Eminem fan to be able to see that he is doing something good! What exactly has your "Princess RiRi" (or whatever ridiculous name you have for her) done for anyone? This is a clear cut case of a "have" reaching out to help some "have-not's" and I think Eminem should be applauded for it! I'm sure you make a decent living, when are you going to do a show free for people that are struggling? I think you went too far with this one Perez! If you don't like Eminem, don't buy his CD, but PLENTY of other people will!



  61. 61

    Perez you're a fucking twat! Seriously all you do is bitch and complain. Last time I checked you were a gossip columist (sp?) not a guru in music. You sure as hell don't know what's good and bad! Seriously you still think J-HO and Lady gag me is good! Get a real fucking job and stop hating on people who do good things!



  62. 62

    Actually, I think that's pretty nice of him, and I don't even like his music. You don't see these other supposed humanitarian celebs doing anything for the down-trodden in thier own country. This is nice, like a breath of fresh air after being waterboarded.



  63. 63

    I used to enjoy your website. But lately you have become nothing but a mean-spirited bigot idiot. Why don't you put your cute little dog Teddy up for adoption, I would hate for your f**ktardedness to rub off on him.



  64. 64

    Perez,
    Marshall is a detroit native, i think he is a celebrity who is probably more than aware of the kind of trouble the auto business and its employees face. Please, when you don't know what you're talking about, SHUT UP! We are in an economic crisis and all you think about is how you can spin someone doing a good thing.
    When's the last time you did something nice? you gain publicity by tearing people down….. I THINK THAT IS A LOT WORSE!!



  65. 65

    I am from the Motor City and can I say this is absolutely sincere and wonderful. I understand your need to play devil's advocate and be funny but it is not often that an entertainer takes it upon himself to do something nice for his community. Jay Leno entertained for thousands of people for free here in Detroit, George Lopez ralied at a local park during the election for free, Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Aretha Franklin, Eddie Money Ted Nugent etc have all participated in charity and fundraiser events. Unlike other states, Entertainers who are from Michigan are known for their generosity within the state.

    Since when was a gay bloggers opinion on rap in the least bit valid lol. And hes flying people out to be a good person you moron. Your career is about to be a wrap so keep reaching.



  67. 67

    Perez you must wanna fuck Em pretty bad with all that hatin you do on him. His new album and yes I do have a copy is pretty damn good so I dunno what your talkin about. As for him flying out people, that's great, I live in Toledo and it's a SAD thing what's going on with all the laid off auto workers, Em is trying to give them some spirit lifting for at least a day and it's a great thing.

    What have you done for anyone? Oh yea… NOTHING, you just sit on your fat ass and blog about and put down everyone your jealous of.
