Marginally interesting Eminem stuff

Kim Mathers has filed court papers seeking financial support and shared custody of their daughter, while Eminem's grandmother is selling his old tape recorder for $5,000.

Kim Mathers has set out what she wants from her divorce settlement with estranged-for-the-second-time husband Eminem. Kim has filed court papers petitioning for financial support, attorney fees and shared custody of their ten year old daughter Hailie. No shocks there, then.

Slightly more interesting, possibly, is the news that Eminem's grandmother is selling his old tape recorder for $5,000. Betty Kresin says the hip hopper used the machine, which belonged to his uncle, to record his early attempts at rapping. She says: "Ronnie had this stereo in his bedroom and him and Marshall would go up there and crank this thing up. They would play records and start rapping over the music and tape it. In the summer, when the windows were open, the neighbours would go crazy. But Marshall didn't care."
