Eminem Donates $200,000

Rapper Eminem was so moved by last night's (10SEP05) MTV telethon for the victims of Hurricane Katrina he phoned in to offer rap peer David Banner $200,000 (GBP111,100).

Eminem explained he had lost no family in the disaster but he hoped his donation would help prove all musicians are keen to do what they can to aid those left devastated by last month's (AUG05) hurricane disaster in southeast America.

He then offered up the cash to the American Red Cross from his Shady clothing line.
