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.
