THAT Eminem sure knows how to get attention:

The rapper is launching his new album Encore in grand style with an event called the National Shady Convention in New York later this month.
The event is obviously a send-up of the huge Democratic and Republican conventions held in the lead-up to the US election, but it sounds like a hoot.
Apparently only 20 fans worldwide will be allowed in – with rumours the man himself will be performing. One lucky Aussie (and a mate) will be picked to go through a Nova radio competition.
