Yeah true but what I mean is he was done no favours for being famous, whereas they definitely were......(Paris Hilton is still being treated different)

Rihanna has prior engagements, but she hinted they have a song on her new album

[Smithy]

orly?

Rihanna is not only performing at tonight’s 2010 MTV VMAs — she’s closing the show!!!

Sources exclusively reveal to JustJared.com that the 22-year-old “Only Girl In The World” singer will hit the stage to perform her hit single “Love The Way You Lie” with Eminem from Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles.

FYI: Rihanna did say she wasn’t coming to the VMAs because she was busy in Hawaii shooting Battleship. But that was then and this is now!

ARE YOU EXCITED to watch Rihanna and Eminem perform together again??

[Iceman]

How? I mean Eminem is opening and closing the show?

MTV Music Awards 2010 Rihanna Performance – If you thought Rihanna was sitting quietly on a beach in Hawaii to watch the VMA’s from a flat screen, well think again.

It was just announced that Rihanna has left the shooting of her film “Battleship” to be at the tonight’s 2010 MTV VMAs which will take place at the Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles,California.

The “Only Girl In The World” singer will be closing the MTV Video Music Awards 2010 by performing the hit single “Love The Way You Lie” with Eminem.

No one expected the Barbadian singer to be at the event because she recently said in an interview that she would not be able to attend because of her obligation to the film. She said:

“I definitely wish I could be there for Eminem. He’s performing the song we did together. It would have been nice to do it, but he understands. Obviously right now I’m doing something that is a priority to me. The VMAs will be there next year. I’ll have a lot more music out by then.”

It looks like she had a change of heart. Are you eager to see the performance?

Lil Wayne and Swizz Beats have recorded a song inspired by Eminem’s classic hit Stan.
Speaking to MTV News US the track's producer (and hubby of Alicia Keys) Swizz explained that there was some confusion about Shady recording his own sequel.

He said: “Off my album, there was a lot of controversy over this before. The Eminem album before [Recovery], Relapse, I submitted a beat to him called 'Stan 2.'… it got out of hand in the media. He didn't want to do 'Stan 2.'

“But what I have on my album is a song called 'Anne' with (Lil) Wayne, which is crazy. Taking something that people remember and putting them in that time and taking it to the next level, the way that Wayne tells Anne he's sorry what happened to Stan. The album is crazy."

Mr Beats - who is responsible for hits like Chris Brown’s I Can Transform Ya and Jay-Z’s On To The Next One - also confirmed he’s working on new albums for Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and Beyonce.

The world premiere of the video was announced to be on September 30 at 8pm US EDT (midnight UTC) on Eminem.com.

[Iceman]

As for it being radio friendly, it was on Radio One in August but heavily censored, so I guess so.

With nominations for the 53rd annual Grammy Awards not being announced until December 1, Eminem is already being seen as a top contender to pick up the most trophies. To date, his album Recovery has sold 2.7 million copies, the strongest sales of 2010.

Many music industry insiders and executives foresee the 2011 Grammys having the most competitive record and song of the year nominees in recent memory. Next year’s Grammy night is also being seen as bittersweet for those in the music industry, as it will show the shift away from albums and toward the less profitable singles.

The award show’s main categories are song and record of the year, album of the year, and best new artist.

It was unanimous among those surveyed on possible nominees for song and record of the year that Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie”; Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now”; Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ “Empire State of Mind,” and Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” would fight for top honors.

The album of the year category is seen as subpar, but Eminem’s Recovery remains a favorite to win.

“This is Eminem’s year,” says Billy Mann, who served as co-writer and producer of Pink’s hit “Glitter In the Air.” “He brought his best game and then some. The public can feel it and the industry can feel it.”

Other albums that are seen as possible nominations for album of the year are Sade’s Soldier of Love, Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3, Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now, Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs, Usher’s Raymond v. Raymond, Herbie Hancock’s The Imagine Project, and Robert Plant’s Band of Joy.

For best new artist, many see it coming down to Justin Bieber and Drake, with Drake taking home the award. Florence & the Machine, Susan Boyle, and Adam Lambert are seen as other possible nominees. B.o.B and Mumford & Sons were also mentioned.

Newcomers Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars are ineligible for nomination due to their album release dates falling outside of the eligibility period which is September 1, 2009-September 20, 2010.

Grammy nominations will be announced during the third annual “Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!—Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night” concert. The Grammys will air on CBS on February 13.

Shockingly open interview......cant believe his overdose was that bad.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Was just watching that before Eoin! Reckon it's one of the best Em interviews I've seen actually, he's VERY open and seemed totally relaxed, I can't get over how he's changed, and he's looking SO good now. It's scary to think how close he came to dying from that overdose, can't help but admire him for how he's made it through to the other side.

There's some behind the scenes stuff here too http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504803_1...ingLeadStories

There's a great bit where they go into the McDonalds in Detroit where he used to hang out, and he just stands there with a diet coke and says 'errrm this isn't at all weird'

He comes over so well, I know he very rarely used to give interviews but I hope he does more like this now!
