Eminem, Still In Demand At 40, Balances Art And Parenting







Remember when 40-years-old used to be considered over-the-hill? But today, rapper Eminem, who turns 40 Wednesday, has 61 million "likes" on Facebook. He was the most popular person on the social networking site until recently, when Rihanna took the lead spot. Not bad.

Hip-hop may be a young guy's sport, but the "Lose Yourself" rapper is still in demand. It's been two years since he released his last album, Recovery, and his fans eagerly anticipate the release of his still-untitled eighth album, due out in 2013.

Twice divorced from Kimberly Scott, Eminem has one biological child, Hailie Jade, who will turn 17 on Christmas. But he has also taken in three additional children - Alaina Marie, a niece on his ex-wife's side of the family; Whitney Laine, his ex-wife's child from another relationship; and younger half-brother Nathan.


Eminem has discussed the kids in numerous songs. Hailie, in particular, has been referenced in nearly a dozen tracks, including the eponymous "Hailie's Song" and "My Dad's Gone Crazy." At the age of 6, she actually co-wrote and performed the chorus for the latter.

Cool Dad.......HBD Em
