Eminem Remarries Ex-Wife

Superstar rapper Eminem remarried his ex-wife Saturday, a month after he announced they were getting back together, his publicist said.

"I can confirm that they were married this evening," said Dennis Dennehy, a spokesman for Eminem's label, Interscope Records.

News helicopters hovered overhead and paparazzi congregated outside Meadow Brook Hall as the rapper born Marshall Bruce Mathers III and Kim Mathers arrived by limousine and were whisked inside the 110-room mansion built for auto baron John Dodge's widow 80 years ago.

The first marriage of Eminem, 33, and his high school sweetheart ended after two-plus years in October 2001 in an ugly legal fight that included a custody battle over their young daughter.

Kim Mathers, 30, applied for a marriage license last week, and Detroit television station WXYZ showed an invitation to "join them as they exchange vows and the celebration of their new life together."

Eminem and Kim Mathers reconciled in late 2004, and he announced in December that the two would get back together.

Both grew up in suburbs along Eight Mile Road, Detroit's northern border.
