A REAL SLIM SOFTY
Eminem's hotel pampering
HE'S the hardman of rap who's been convicted of brandishing a gun, carrying a concealed weapon and was held for allegedly pistol whipping a love rival.
But Eminem - who preferred to tuck into a Big Mac rather than join in the naked pool romp at his aftershow party in London on Thursday-likes nothing better than girlie pampering.
We can reveal the 30-year-old peroxide blond American made the most of his time in London by indulging in lengthy spa treatments and acting like a diva.
While his entourage invited more than 150 girls back to a £10 million Mayfair pad after he played with D12 at the Shepherds Bush Empire, Slim Shady kept well away.
While they splashed around in the jacuzzi in their G-strings, he was saving himself for something special... On Friday afternoon, after a long lie-in at his Dorchester suite, the star headed down to the hotel's luxurious spa.
The chilled-out treatment area has catered for stars such as Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise, Liz Taylor and Goldie Hawn, but guests were stunned by the rapper's behaviour.
"Eminem acted like he was royalty," says our source. "It's an ultra-discreet spa with lovely staff but he really gave it the big one."
Understandably, celebs don't like to draw attention to themselves when they're having their spots squeezed... but not Eminem.
First, while other guests relaxed in the robes provided, he strutted around bare-chested with four massive minders.
"They stood guard outside the treatment rooms," continues our source. "What did he think was going to happen? That someone would burst in and laugh at him?"
To make matters worse, the bodyguards - all over 6ft 6in - wore T-shirts emblazoned with Shepherds Bush, April 8 2004 on them... just in case anyone was in any doubt when the star last performed.
We can also reveal that Slim is worried about his famously pasty complexionhe had a session on the sunbed. And to complete the pampering, he also got a pedicure... "It was the strangest display,"says our source. "You wouldn't expect a a rapper to be there - you'd think he'd work out in the gym.
"It's hilarious to think he preferred to be pampered like that. And four bodyguards to protect him? Who does he think he is - J-Lo?"
We always suspected he was a big girl's blouse at heart...
