Fan Steals Kim's Phone to Stalk Eminem

While we thought anti-stalking laws would make it impossible to pull off one of those sitcom scenarios where Lucy and Ethel would reach out and touch a star by sneaking into his hotel room hidden by a room service cart, an enterprising Canadian lad managed to put a post-modern spin on the shtick by swiping a cell phone from Eminem's ex-wife in order to commune with the rapper.

It's not all that surprising that an employee of a bingo hall would concoct such a scheme -- nor is it too difficult to imagine Kim Mathers spending her time playing bingo and chain-smoking generic menthol cigarettes -- but it is kind of shocking that Mister Mathers would actually pick up when his ex's number popped up on caller ID.

When he did, and found Kyle Spratt on the other end, he put on a fake voice and rushed the 18-year-old off the line -- prompting the wounded teen to pen a little ditty called 'Slim Sellout,' which samples Em's end of the conversations for good measure.

Spratt lost his bingo gig and spent plenty of time answering to the cops that Eminem summoned, but he may still get the last laugh -- if Dido rings him up when it comes time to revive her career, that is.
