Well I just asked him : blank look...."a brick?" hahaha husbands and boyfriends doesn´t understand a Stan´s needs haha I pretty much just got the same thing! "a brick.... there's plenty in the garage for free!" Even I don't think I would part with cold hard cash for a brick, unless Em came with it for at least an hour  |

I just saw this on Us Magazine (or they should call it the Kardashian Magazine) and it is listed under "weird news". So we aren't the only ones that think selling bricks from his old house is a bit....odd. This isn't the kind of Em news I want to read. I want to read about the date his next album will be released. STOP SELLING BRICKS AND DROP AN ALBUM ALREADY! |

I thought the bricks idea was stupid, but I guess that was the only thing that survived the fire somehow |

This article hit the brick on the head and sentiments what we've been feeling: "A Cynical Look at Eminem’s Big, Broken Brick Sale." Key words: purportedly; Zillow; donated (wonder if you can deduct this purchase from your 2016 IRS return...Hmmmm); portion and vague, to name just a few. This article is deliciously irreverent! ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/05/25/a-cynical-look-at-eminems-big-broken-brick-sale/ |

I wonder if selling the bricks was even his idea. I mean, he had to agree to it but I wonder if someone else came up with it and talked him into it or if it was his idea. They had to have gone and gotten the bricks and stored them somewhere with the idea of doing something like this.
This whole bricks thing just makes Em look lame and I don't like it when Em looks lame.

It goes nicely with my conspiracy theory that Paul is an asshole tone deaf about PR. Selling $300 bricks and being sketchy about the amount of money actually donated to charity looks bad. $219,000 is like a dime to to Em. Why not just donate 100% of the proceeds? We've all heard he's very charitable behind the scenes. Maybe it was put to him like let's sell this cool throwback casette tape with some debris from your old place and give the funds back to Detroit while keeping your name out there. It's not NOT true. |

So now Maybelline New York is selling "brick makeup". Are they inspired by Em or are bricks just in? LOL!  |

Selling $300 bricks to suckers and being sketchy about the amount of money actually donated to charity looks bad. $219,000 is like a dime to to Em. Why not just donate 100% of the proceeds? I'm with you. I find it hard to imagine he tells Em the whole story a lot of the times. I think a nice gesture would be if the money was actually put back into the neighbor the house was in. I am sure there is a lot that can be done to better the neighborhood or at the very least use the money to start some sort of scholarship program for kids that live in that neighborhood. I wonder who runs the Marshall Mather's Foundation? Who decides where the money goes? I willing to bet money on it that it is Paul LOL If Em is this generations Elvis, than Paul is The Colonel (and believe me that is not a good comparison) Hmmm come to think of it I meant that as a joke but the similarities between Paul and The Colonel are very similar. The Colonel would have lame merchandise and weird promotions as well. His promotion of Elvis did not seem to fit the magnitude of Elvis' position in Entertainment, he also appeared to have total control over Elvis. Does Paul manage anyone else? I wonder what Paul's cut is? |

I wonder what Paul's cut is? I saw the tax returns awhile back and Marshall, Paul and some other guy are the only three on the board of his foundation. If I remember correctly, most of the money brought into the foundation every year is spent on community stuff. I do remember he gives like $10K to Elton's AIDS foundation every year. I also remember when he made that commercial for Chrysler, they donated like $250K to his foundation. Almost all the money went back into Detroit. I don't think anyone takes a salary from the foundation. I would have to find the tax records again cuz I am just going off memory. But what I do remember is all the money does go to charity, unlike say Kanye or Bono. EDIT: Found a link. This isn't the one that I originally saw. I originally saw the actual tax documents. But this has the same info. |
