Eminem has been battling an addition to prescription pills for over a year now. It’s quite common for rehabbed people to stick together for support through programs like Narcotics Anonymous, but what’s not so common? When Elton John is your sponsor. The two have stayed close ever since their Grammy performance and right now they’re relating to each other a lot more than on that “being famous” level. Elton has quite famously battled substance abuse problems in the past and considers himself to be a source of support for Em. “I’m there if people want my help. If people ask for help you tell them where to go but there’s no point advising people if they don’t want to do it,” Elton said to the British Press Association.
At the peak of his addiction, Eminem nearly overdosed after taking a mysterious blue pill passed on to him by a friend. It turned out later that that pill was methadone. Eminem was eating upwards of 20 pills daily, including Vicodin, Valium and Ambien. Elton said in his interview that Em’s doing “brilliantly” and that he thinks he’ll be able to maintain his sobriety.
Oh, and BTW: I’m pretty sure that this is a huge sign of how messed up drugs are. When Elton John and Eminem are staying bonded over their inability to use the stuff? That’s powerful.
How about “Eminem was eating upwards *OF* 20 pills daily”?
“and right now they’re relating to each other a lot more than on that “being famous” level.”
You have got to be the laziest writer to ever grace this site in terms of your ability to spell and proofread. I’ve started skipping your posts but happened to read this one and of course found the obligatory typo and awkward sentences. You really bring down the quality of a great website with your slapdash writing. PROOFREAD, if you write as a JOB you are supposed to do it WELL.
Sweetheart, while you’re up there being a spelling/grammar nazi, I find it kind of funny that you missed the line Molls wrote that states that “Eminem has been battling an ADDITION to prescription pills”. Yeah. Before you go bitching about how badly people write, learn to proofread yourself.
Molls, personally I enjoy your additions to the site, but I do find that you (more than any of the other EB Gossip contributors) need to be more conscientious of your spelling and grammar.
Uh, because I missed her OTHER writing flop, I should keep quiet about the others? Sure, that makes sense. Duly chastised, me. I actually do proofread what I write, which is why you found no mistakes in my comment to pick on (other than the fact that I missed one of Molls’ multiple sloppies). And if I were being paid to write a blog, I’d at least take a stab at being professional.
I never said ‘don’t mention them’. The point of that little rant was that you should learn to be a little more diplomatic when you voice your concerns.
I love it when my fellow Anonymous’s fight with each other. Remember rule number one…we don’t eat our own!
After reading this article, I felt some serious nostalgia working in my brain and had to go check out their performance at The Grammys. Even now, at a time where I don’t give a shit about Eminem, that performance is really good. Sir Elton is a beast.
A beast? Really? How about a saggy old washed up Vegas lounge act embarrasment to the gay community? Now that I’d agree with.
This may be off topic Roofie, but I liked your “gay choirboy” avatar better. You seem to be trying to hard to tell us you can actually get laid with the new one.
You know we fought a fucking war to not call those English shites “Sir.” When he starts killing terrorists, I’ll think about calling him sir.
you know we call him sir because he was knighted not because he is English right?
No shit, Sir Dumbsalot
i hope the good rumors are true and that they both stay strong!
They both made better records with they where on blow… Hope for e relapse.
douche
Hey Torie, you should stick that tongue in evilbeetdouche’s mouth and fucking shut her up for awhile.
Do you kiss ur mother with that nasty mouth?
Only when she pays me to.
I somehow think that’s a really sweet story. Stay strong boys!
Eminem has been an addict for way longer than a year.
and a pathetic loser for way longer than that
