At this point, wouldn't it be a lot more shocking if Eminemdidn't try to shock people? Of course, we'll probably never know, especially since rap's reigning bad boy is poised to release yet another controversial video. In this one, performed to the song "Without Me," Eminem puts on a fake beard and a turban to impersonate Osama bin Laden. It's part of a spoof of talk-show motormouth Sally Jessy Raphael--in fact, Eminem also dresses up as Sally, which could well be a whole lot scarier than the Osama get-up. But don't think that Em doesn't take his wardrobe utterly seriously. Last week the British magazine The Face was forced to reprint its May issue after the editors changed the color of Eminem's shirt without his permission. Eminem had posed for the cover photo in a red shirt, but the magazine decided that it clashed with its red logo, so it changed the shirt to pink. "It was done intentionally to cause controversy and to taunt Eminem," said the rapper's spokesman. And everyone knows that a keep-it-real rapper would never wear pink.
