EMINEM - EMINEM SLAMS MARRIAGE REPORTS

LATEST: Rapper EMINEM has slammed reports he is engaged to ex-wife KIM MATHERS for the third time. The rapper, real name MARSHALL MATHERS, and the former KIM SCOTT first wed in 1999 and divorced two years later. They remarried in January 2006 and separated three months later. And, in a UK tabloid interview published yesterday (06FEB07), rapper AKON, who befriended Eminem when the pair worked together on the SMACK THAT hit, said, "He can't live with her, and he can't live without her. "They are meant for each other. They are engaged again." But Eminem's representative, DENNIS DENNEHY, denies the reunion report, stating, "Those reports are absolutely false." Kim Mathers recently appeared on US news show 20/20 and blamed the demise of her relationship with Eminem on his constant cheating. She made it clear there was no hope of a reconciliation, saying, "I'm done."
