"...Four years ago, Eminem, one of the best-selling rappers in history, released his last album of original material, “Encore,” and then essentially disappeared. The years since have been pockmarked with personal struggles. He entered rehab in 2005 for a dependency on sleep medication. In 2006 he remarried, and then redivorced, his ex-wife, Kim Scott, the subject of many of his most vitriolic songs. And that same year his closest friend, the rapper Proof, was killed in a shooting at a Detroit nightclub.

In his new book, “The Way I Am,” Eminem hopes to set the record straight. “I’m really just a normal guy. You can ask my neighbors,” he writes in the book. “I ride a bike. I walk the dog. I mow my lawn. I’m out there every Sunday, talking to myself, buck naked, mowing the lawn with a chain saw.”..."

Eminem has teamed up with Nike to create a limited edition run of the company's Air Max series shoe. The effort will go towards raising money for the lyricist's Marshall Mathers Foundation and ninemillion.org. Eminem will design limited-edition uppers of eight different shoes in the series, from the Air Max '87 to Air Max 360. Sixty-four pairs of shoes will be produced before being numbered and autographed by the rapper and auctioned off over a four-week period at Nike stores worldwide and on eBay, beginning Aug. 31. "We're always looking for new ways to try to raise money and awareness for the foundation, so when Nike approached us we jumped at the chance," Eminem said. "Who wouldn't want to design their own line of Nikes? And to do it for charity makes it that much better."
