Eminem In New Judd Apatow "Funny People" Movie

Eminem is everywhere now-adays, well at least it seems like it. Although he is currently at the start of his long-awaited return to the top of the music industry, Eminem is also returning to Hollywood. In the new issue of VIBE magazine, Eminem revealed that he recently shot a scene for the upcoming new movie from Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up," "The 40 Year Old Virgin") movie called "Funny People."

"I just did a cameo a few months ago with Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in a Judd Apatow produced film," Eminem said. "It's called Funny People." In the new movie, Adam Sandler plays a famous comedian (what a strech) diagnosed with a life-threatening illness while Seth Rogen is an aspiring comedian who Sandler's character takes under his wing. The film is set to hit theaters on July 31st and will also star fellow rapper RZA, "Superbad" star Jonah Hill plus the always funny Sarah Silverman.

"I kinda do a little cameo in that," states Eminem, "which was fun by the way. And 8 Mile was not a fun movie to shoot." Slim Shady says the grueling production schedule of "8 Mile" may have contributed to his dependency on the prescription drug sleeping pill Ambien. "Will I end up doing another movie again?" he muses. "Probably yeah."
