RAPPER Eminem’s new album Encore has been leaked on to the internet.

The Real Slim Shady star’s hotly-anticipated fourth album was stolen nearly two weeks before its release date.

The theft has sparked panic at his record label Interscope who have brought forward the worldwide release date.

An illegal website called RNS put the entire album on the net two days ago.

Thousands of fans instantly downloaded it and could pass it on to countless others.

It could lose the 32-year-old rapper MILLIONS of pounds in royalties from CD sales.

Interscope bosses were locked in meetings all day yesterday.

They decided to bring forward Encore’s release date by three days to next Friday November 12.

Unveiling the album on a Friday rather than a Monday is virtually unprecedented — and a sign of how panicked bosses are.

An insider at the label said: “This is catastrophic news. Security has been so tight on this album nobody can figure out how the album has got out there.

“We now think thousands of people around the world are downloading it.

I don't steal. I don't illegaly download files, and I don't suggest that anyone else should. Nevertheless, I don't feel the least bit sorry for this jerk.

Of all the world events going on in the world this seems like a real tragedy. Mayhaps we should start some of relief fund for our slim shady eminem celebrity.

More hype... I'm convinced that the musicians release these things themselves so they can watch the unfolding drama and BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

His latest single (which takes a dig at Michael Jackson, even though he claims it doesn't) is hilarious.

"Boys, shake that *ss. Oops I mean girls. Girls, girls, girls."

Love the values of those who support him. I bet right now he doesn't.

He probably put it out there himself. Some twisted motive, who knows.

I wonder how Eminem feels to be on the receiving end of the activities of his friends in the anarchist community. Can't wait to see him express his "law and order" side.

This will test Eminem's political philosophy wont it ? He exhibits all the signs of an angry socialist with no boundaries or respect for people's privacy and property, so let's see how he deals with this theft of his work.
