EMINEM ARRESTED IN NIGHTCLUB ALTERCATION

The real Slim Shady was among four people arrested early Sunday morning following a scuffle outside a night club in Warren, Mich. The fracas ensued when EMINEM (a.k.a. MARSHALL MATHERS) was mobbed by autograph-seeking fans in the club’s parking lot. A police spokesperson told Rolling Stone that two people were hit with concealed weapons charges, but would not confirm whether Eminem was one of them. A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office said that the weapon in question was believed to be registered to the rapper, but an investigation is still pending.
