Eminem's Mother Lays Into Basinger


Hollywood stunner Kim Basinger has incurred the wrath of 8 Mile co-star Eminem's mother - because Debbie Mathers claims she portrays her falsely. The film, which is loosely based on the rapper's troubled life prior to his incredible success, includes Basinger's character Stephanie Smith who is a direct representation of the Lose Yourself rapper's real life mother. His grandmother Betty Kresin has spoken of how upset Debbie is after watching the film, particularly because in Basinger's onscreen counterpart sports a bad hairstyle. Kresin says, "I know Debbie has been to see the film because she was so upset by it. Kim has a beer in her hand in the film but Debbie hardly drinks. She was unhappy about that. I've never seen alcohol in Debbie's life apart from some of the low-life men she has known. Kim's hair is so stringy in the film but Debbie always kept hers perfect. She never had one hair out of place - her kids couldn't hug her because she was worried about her hair getting messed up. Debbie keeps her home perfectly clean, but in the film Kim's trailer home is a complete mess. She told me Kim should have kept her hair good, her trailer clean and not drink beer. It has turned into the battle of the blondes. Marshall says at the beginning of the film that it is fictional but I can see why Debbie has taken it so personally. I can see much of it is based on his life."


The lack of intelligence in this woman just shines throughout this article.

Dumbest woman ever. If she really isn't drinking much, perhaps she should start because it couldn't hurt anything.

Good lord shes an idiot.

Just another reason to sue her son for the millions he doesnt give her,she would do anything to bring him down when all she did was bring him down in the first place.

Someone needs to kill that bitch.

That sounds incredibly silly, even desperate, though I haven't seen 8 Mile and therefore don't know if this Debbie was in fact a bad mother or something like that.

what part of "loosely based on the rapper's troubled life " don't this whore understand?

Im sure the wwhore understands the 'loose' part I've never seen Marshal's mother what the hell does she look like anyway?

I am upset too.
Why did he have to make this movie?
Why do we have to listen to his music?

I take it he forced you at gunpoint to see it and listen to his music afterward? Some people *gasp* actually enjoyed the movie and enjoy his music.

Wow, this chick needs to get Beyatch slapped. She needs to stop thinking the world revolves around her trailer park trash arse and needs to get over this little extension of 15 minutes of fame she wants.
