Eminem's Expensive Vacation

Rap superstar Eminem will spend a staggering $320,000 (GBP200,000) on accommodation for his British tour - and he's only staying a week.

The Lose Yourself hip-hopper is arriving in the UK this weekend, in time to play gigs in Milton Keynes, England, Glasgow in Scotland, and the Irish capital, Dublin, over the next week (22-29JUN03) - as part of his ANGER MANAGEMENT tour.

And Eminem, who is being supported by protege 50 CENT, and his entourage are keen to make a big impression.

A source close to the tour explains, "He's staying in the best hotels along the way.

"They'll be taking over a whole floor and clocking up all kinds of room service charges.

"They've set aside $48,000 (GBP30,000) to cover it."
