Eminem was on hand at Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Friday night for the premier of “8 Mile.” Surely, he was just one of millions of people who watched the movie this weekend. The theatre near my house was sold out hours before the show, and it was showing on two screens.
There were a number of celebrities at the premier in Los Angeles. Joining Eminem were co-star Kim Basinger, Alicia Silverstone, Avril Lavigne, Macy Gray, Matthew Perry, Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock. Interestingly, Christina Aguilera was also there. According to her it was because Eminem’s people kept calling her to insist that she attend.
I’m not sure how things went down everywhere else, but in the theatre that I was at, there were 3 cops and about 5 security guards in the theatre. However, there was no ruckus to be reported.
