DIET | DETECTIVE^®

When I heard a whisper recently that Eminem had ballooned to over 200 pounds, my first thought was, "Wow, I totally forgot about him." I started thinking back to his glory days, when the headlines were consumed with his daily controversies -- divorce, violence, mommy-hating, misogyny, homophobia, feuding, redemption, a random Oscar win, remarriage, redivorce. And then he disappeared. That was three years ago.

But now Shady's back, back again. Since entering rehab in 2005, he's been spotted slightly less often than the Loch Ness Monster. But then these new pics popped up, and while he doesn't look shockingly overweight, he's definitely gained a noticeable amount of weight. More importantly, he was recently hospitalized for pneumonia and reportedly suffers from a heart condition.

His grandmother blames the weight gain on his second divorce from Kim: "“He really wanted it to work between them, to have a happy family life for their daughter Hailie Jade, something he claims he never had while growing up." Another insider simply blames too many Taco Bell burritos and Outback filets.

You know what else could be the problem? Having family and friends who ring up the National Enquirer to blab your latest weight troubles. A support system is key to losing weight, so hopefully Eminem will find someone who can push him to get healthy again.
