Moby may not have the massive sales he once did but the dance music star has found a silver lining in that cloud -- namely being able to avoid highly publicized feuds. "One of the good things about not being a gigantic superstar in the United States is that I can say terribly inappropriate things and luckily it's kind of underneath everybody's radar," he told Spinner during a recent interview. "Like when I had that feud with Eminem, one of the ways that started was because I was doing interviews like MTV or 'Entertainment Tonight,' and I said stuff that I thought maybe was mildly controversial and then all of a sudden there's this huge feud that I have no idea how it started."

These days, Moby has even grown to admire his former nemesis. "I have quite a lot of respect for his talent, and I think as a public figure it's pretty remarkable how he came from nowhere and became one of the most biggest controversial figures on the planet," Moby says. "And I had a lot of respect for the song and video 'Mosh' 'cause it came out around the 2004 elections and it was really critical of the war in Iraq and the Bush administration, and I thought for him, given his demographic, that was very courageous to do."

"I want people to look back and go, 'Oh, remember what was going on at that moment? That's when Jessica Simpson got fat.'" --Eminem

Some would characterize poking fun a starlet's weight gain as mean-spirited, but to Slim Shady, 'We Made You' was a matter of maintaining public pop culture record.

Sing it with us: "Reunited and it feels so good." Yeah, maybe not. Still, one of music's most unlikely couples (next to Bing Crosby and David Bowie, of course) Elton John and Eminem are reportedly joining forces for a duet on the rapper's long-awaited new album, titled 'Relapse' -- Slim Shady's first new effort in five years.

Rumors of the odd couple have been swirling since the fall, when Sir Elton was spotted in Detroit around the same time Shady was in the studio. If the pair have indeed recorded together, it would mark their first collaboration since sharing the stage at the 2001 Grammys, performing Em's hit 'Stan' amidst allegations that the rapper was homophobic. John was later both criticized and praised by members of the gay community for supporting Eminem.

Eminem aka Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers

Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers are the two sides of the Eminem coin. Shady (who Eminem literally conceived on the toilet) is the Id: murderous, insane, hilarious and capable of anything. Mathers is the slightly less insane ego: struggling father, abandoned son, tortured artist. Shady even admits to his attempts to kill Marshall off ("I hung my original self from the top bunk with a belt"), but these days it looks like a stalemate.

"I have never felt so much pain in my life. It was tough for me to even get out of bed, and I had days when I couldn't walk." --Eminem

In his new memoir, the rapper explains his debilitating depression following the death of friend and fellow rapper Proof, in 2006.
