Eminem Talks Drug Addiction, Recovery, Relapse

eminempic21 Hello my friends. Posting is going to be slow from me this afternoon. Do you want to know why? My fabulous friend Laremy brought an old-school Nintendo into the Film.com offices today.

The Carmen Electra Stripper Pole Video Game???

New reports are claiming that Peekaboo Pole Dancing, the company behind the Carmen Electra home pole dancing kit, is looking to create a Carmen Electra Pole Dancing game for the Nintendo Wii. Says a source: "Pole dancing would certainly be an interesting fit for the Nintendo Wii, and it would be something to see how big of a pole they would actually ship with a game." Ha ha. I'm not sure if this is bullshit or if they're actually considering doing this, but, man, I might just have to go out ...
