So, with that wish in mind, I ran and was involved with the event as an homage to him.”


Cook continues, “I want to again thank everyone who donated to the race and continues to donate, sent a kind email, posted thoughts and prayers, called, etc. I take it as affirmation that my brother was the great man that I knew, and whose ideals I constantly try to uphold in myself. It is with those ideals in tow that I vow to continue to speak out in hopes of raising whatever necessary to help eliminate cancer entirely.”

“Thank you to everyone for allowing us, as a family, to grieve and come to terms privately. This event has shown me, beyond doubt, that I have the greatest people in my life, family, friends, and fans alike, and for that, I can never offer enough thanks.”

Eminem Talks Pain Killer Addiction, Sobriety

Hot Singer Eminem Talks About His Pain Killer Addiction, Sobriety



As he plans his triumphant return to the top of the music world, Eminem opened up about his drug addiction woes in a recent article with Vibe magazine.

The 36-year-old tells: “It’s no secret I had a drug problem. If I was to give you a number of Vicodin I would actually take in a day? Anywhere between 10 to 20. Valium, Ambien, the numbers got so high I don’t even know what I was taking.”


Talking about a near-overdose experience back in 2005, the hip-hop star continues: “My doctor told me those mysterious new pills were methadone, which is used to wean heroin addicts off dope. Had I known it was methadone, I probably wouldn’t have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can’t even say 100 percent for sure. My doctor told me the amount of methadone I’d taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin. Even when they told me I almost died, it didn’t click.”

After suffering a knee injury and not being prescribed to pain pills due to his past history, Eminem tells: “I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin. I’m ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin — the big extra strength ones — and a few Valium.”

Finally realizing that he truly is an addict, the “3AM” hitmaker reveals: “It never once hit me that drug addiction runs in my family. Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.”

Completely sober and ready to realease his new album, which hits stores on May 19, Em says, “I wanted to make an overall statement — I’m back. It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn’t recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober ... I don’t know the last time I shot a video sober, without drinking or taking anything. It’s been years.”

Continuing on, he ends: “I almost feel like a little kid again with rap. I wanna play around with different flows. If I don’t feel like it’s what I’m fully capable of, if there’s one weak line, I wanna change it. Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that ... now rap’s getting me high again.”

The “Come on Over” songstress concurred, “That’s how the story goes. Can’t help it. But we don’t let it affect our relationship. If we did, we wouldn’t be together, because it happened at the very beginning. Dating the Cowboys quarterback comes with hype, the fans, the bloggers, but I’ve never dated a guy that was more simple. I’m always there for him after a game, and he knows he has me to come home to.”

Sick Celeb Amy Winehouse: Back in Black Action

Following a brief hospitalization for dehydration and exhaustion, Amy Winehouse was spotted frolicking around St. Lucia with an unidentified man yesterday (May 3).

The “You Know I’m No Good” songstress looked to be feeling just fine as she jumped into her gentleman caller’s arms and wrapped her legs around his waist while out enjoying the beautiful sunshine.


In related news, it seems Amy’s petition for a court injunction against the paparazzi has been granted, and now shutterbugs must stay 100 meters away from her London home.

An inside source told press, “Every time she got in her car she was chased or jostled, and it has become unsafe not just for her, but the people around her. We don’t have a problem with the press doing their job but it has become mayhem a couple of times and Amy had to do something.”
