Eminem is seen here outside the Maida Vale studios in London, England after performing on Radio 1′s Live Lounge. Believe it or not I am strangely attracted to him. In a very animalistic kind of way.  Which baffles me because I think to a degree (and a lot more) that he’s a misogynist.  Of course I only have the words in his songs to go by in which he talks about killing his wife and mother.  I could be wrong.  I’m not thinking I am.

So then I have to ask myself why would I like such a bastard? I can only guess angry sex.  Or maybe I want to change him and make him see women can be loveable and not just his personal gloryhole.  I saw through to the sensitivity of his character in 8 Mile so perhaps that’s part of it.

He has collaborated with both Pink and Rihanna on a couple of tracks of his latest album and says:

“When I did the song that I did with Pink I laid my parts first and kind of heard her on the record. I felt like she would smash this record, so I gave her a call and she was with it, so we did it.

“The other that I did with Rihanna is one of those tracksthat I felt only she could pull it off.”
