EMINEM OPENS UP IN MEMOIR

EMINEM will open up about his rocky two marriages to ex-wife KIM MATHERS and the grief he felt for slain bandmate PROOF in a hard-hitting new memoir, called THE WAY I AM.
The book hits stores on 21 October (08), and promises a deep insight into the rap star's life.
Recalling the deep sadness he felt following best pal Proof's shooting death in 2006, Eminem reveals the grief stalled his career: "I have never felt so much pain in my life. It was tough for me to even get out of bed, and I had days when I couldn't walk, let alone write a rhyme."
And the 36-year-old has some kind words for Mathers - who he divorced for a second time in December, 2006 - because she's a great mum to their 12-year-old daughter Hailie.
He writes, "Kim and I have had our differences, sure, but things are good between us now. She does an amazing job."
The book coincides with Eminem's musical comeback. Earlier this week (15Oct08) he revealed his forthcoming sixth album will be called Relapse. It's set for release before the end of the year (08).
