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.
