EminemIt has emerged that Eminem refused to return any phone calls to Bob Geldof about performing at Live 8 this summer.

Organisers were keen to have the high profile rapper perform at the awareness raising bash.

They even went to the extent of sending Eminem pictures of Africans wearing Eminem and D-12 T Shirts, but the pleas fell on deaf ears.

Sir Bob reportedly said:  "Bono called me while I was in Africa and said 'he's (Eminem) not calling me back. I've got these pictures of kids wearing Eminem and D-12 t-shirts and we got them sent off to Eminem's office but did we hear anything? It's sad.

"If people don't want to do anything, then it's cool, I'm ok with that, but I wouldn't mind if they got back to us."
