O regon B rew ers F estival - July 24 thru July 27 It’s been four long years since Eminem released his last solo album, b u t a s s o c ia te s say th e m u sic m egastar is getting serious about his long-anticipated return. “ Em is excited,” says rapper Bishop Lamont, a fellow protege of Dr. Dre. "H e’s been quiet too long, and he’s got a lot to get off his chest." W hile no release date has been announced for E m inem 's next al bum, his label says he’s currently at work in the studio. Em inem was reportedly devas tated by the 2(X)6 death o f his close friend Proof in a shooting, but Lam ont says h e’s heard “some am azing stuff” from the 35-year- old provocateur's recent record ing sessions. “ He went through what he had to go through, and now h e’s been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music." Natalie Meets Health Challenge with Optimism (A P) G ram m y-w inning singer N atalie Cole has been diagnosed with hepatitis C, her publicist said in a statem ent W ednesday. Hepatitis C is a liver disease spread through contact with in fected blood. The statem ent said the disease was revealed during a routine exam ination and was likely caused by her drug use years ago. "I've been so fortunate to have learned so much from my past expe riences," said Cole. "I am em braced by the love and support o f my fam ily and friends; I am com m itted to my belief in m yself and in my abid ing faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optim ism and determ ina tion. T his is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life." Her physician at Cedars-Sinai M edical C enter in Los A ngeles, Dr. G raham W oolf, said C ole has had a "terrific response to her m edication and is now virus negative." "This gives her an increased chance o f cure," he said. W oolf said Cole is recovering from side effects o f the m edicine she's taking, including fatigue, muscle aches and G reeley, with food, m usic, cars, gam es, door prizes, rock clim bing, face painting, and lots o f fun.
