All is not well for Marshall Mathers. The artist who is better known as Eminem rushed to a Detroit hospital over the Christmas holidays with a serious heart condition and severe pneumonia. And according to TMZ, the not-so-Slim Shady now weighs more than 200 pounds — that's a lot of weight on his 5' 8" frame.
Said Eminem's publicist, "Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem, was under doctor's care at a Detroit-area hospital for complications due to pneumonia. He has since been released and is doing well recovering at home."
