The rapper recently confessed that he has recently discovered a new addiction of his: exercise. Eminem related the following about his eploitation of physical exercises: “I’ve done a lot of cardio. I’m actually at the point where I think I’ve got a little obsessive/compulsive about it. Like running on a treadmill – I started doing two miles a day. Then I did four. Then I got up to six, then 10, 15 until at 17 I had to take a break. I couldn’t stop.” Well, it is a known fact that exercise, particularly running, can release endorphins or other “happy” substances in the brain. Still, Eminem probably knows that there are much more powerful forces that can be used for such purposes.

A top White House adviser has recently revealed that President Barack Obama has written a note to Michael Jackson’s family. David Axelrod says that the President expressed his condolences to the Jackson family. He said that Obama saw the pop star as a spectacular performer whose life had sad and tragic aspects. The President did not issue a statement immediately following the singer’s death. But then again, he is the President of the United States. I’m sure he had more pressing matters at hand. I also wonder if he is going to give some sort of honor to Michael and his family.

Michael Jackson has made over $20 million in record sales since his death, it has been revealed.

The 50-year-old pop legend died on June 25 after he reportedly suffered a heart attack.

Jacko is at the top of the iTunes charts in every country apart from Japan and it is claimed his post-death sales could beat those of Elvis Presley, whose estate reportedly brings in $48 million each year.

However, the money will reportedly be used to pay off the star’s massive debts despite claims he made $2 billion in the 40 years of his career.
