Eminem's haggard and gaunt face Thanks to Drugs

Eminem made a surprise appearance at theWall Street Journal's Innovator Of The Year Awards in New York on Wednesday, Nov.5 but his haggard and gaunt face got everyone talking and questioning if his past drug addiction has finally taken hold of him.

The 42-year-old "Loose Yourself" hit-maker appeared dressed in his usual uniform of black with beanie, but the lines and prominent veins on Eminem's pallid face were eminent.

Of course its no news the star has admitted that his past drug use almost cost him his life but its likely the same drugs are damaging his face. If the latest pictures of Eminem in NYC are any indication, the years of abuse seem to have had a lasting impact on his face.

Eminem's drug abuse started during the filming of his movie 8 Mile, when he was on set 16 hours a day and could not sleep.

After being given an Ambien he sought out a prescription, and became addicted to the pills. This soon led to him taking what he calls a 'ridiculous amount' of pills - he has admitted to abusing prescription drugs Ambien, Vicodin andValium.

He went into rehab in 2005 and then took a three-year break from his career, before releasing the albums Relapse and Recovery.

'Had I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died,' he said in a documentary, How to Make Money Selling Drugs. 'My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were gonna have to put me on dialysis, they didn’t think I was gonna make it.'

After his release from hospital Eminem only managed to stay off drugs for a month before relapsing but having spent time in rehab, and with the help of friends, the 42-year-old has his life back on track.

He is gearing up to release his double-disc album ShadyXVfeaturing stars including Slaughterhouse, 50 Cent, Big Sean, DeJ Loaf later this month.

Church Cancels Funeral After Seeing This Obituary PHOTO Of The Deceased

A Saskatoon widow scrambled to find a new venue for her husband’s funeral after a local church cancelled her booking based on how the deceased looked in his obituary. Cheryl Stinson says her family was set to hold a memorial for her stepfather, Larry Frazer, at the St. Patrick Parish Centre hall on Sept. 29, until the church cancelled the booking on Monday. The worst part is why the church cancelled, Stinson said in an interview. “The funeral home called her Monday and told her the church saw Larry’s picture in the paper and because of what they saw they ‘do not want his kind there’ so she couldn’t have the hall,” Stinson said in an interview. “My mother was extremely upset, of course.” Widow Bonnie Frazer (left) and daughter Cheryl Stinson are feeling the sting of being rejected by St. Patrick Church cancelling Larry Frazer’s funeral on September 25 in Saskatoon because of what he was wearing in this picture.
