EMINEM ABLE TO HIDE BEHIND JUDGE

While Eminem is probably delighted that, after ages, a judge has thrown out an attempt to sue him by an old school bully, he might be less than flattered by the reasons the judge gave:

A Michigan appeals court dismissed DeAngelo Bailey's legal action because most fans would not take Eminem's story of a vicious attack seriously.

In other words, it's now official: legally, nobody takes Eminem seriously. Equally, though, nobody seems to take DeAngelo that seriously, either, not even his own brief:

Mr Bailey's lawyer Byron Nolen said he was not surprised by the ruling and would not appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court. "I don't think [the justices] would even look at it to be honest with you," he said.
