Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has acquired a portrait of rapper Eminem made completely out of M&M chocolate candies. Enrique Ramos, who lives in Orlando, Florida and Mexico, created the portrait of Eminem using more than 1,000 individual M&M’s. Ramos used over 8 pounds of chocolate to create a portrait of the chart-topping rapper, born Marshall Mathers. The high calorie portrait - which measures at 40 inches x 30 inches - will hang in the halls of one of Ripley’s museums. “Our customers have a pretty good eye for art. They won’t be disappointed by Eminem in M&M’s,” said Tim O’Brien, VP of Communications for Ripley’s Believe It or Not! “This thing looks good enough to eat.” Ramos has also crafted other unusual works of art, including a replicate portrait of by Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, which he painted on the back of a cockroach. Eminem’s M&M portrait will hang along side other oddities in the Ripley’s musuem, including a picture of Princess Diana made from lint, The Supper in burnt toast and Michael Jackson, done completely in gumballs.

Rapper Clifford “T.I.” Harris testified today that he believes the shots that killed his childhood friend and assistant and injured three others after a Cincinnati concert two years ago were meant for him. T.I., a top-selling rapper from Atlanta, was a witness for the prosecution in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court in the murder trial of Hosea Thomas, 34. He testified for 41 minutes. T.I. says he took cover in a van when it was struck by bullets during the chase. He described seeing his friend after their van pulled over. He said Johnson was lying lifeless, blood running down his face from a shot into his left temple. Padron Thomas, 40, told officials he was driving the Jeep as his brother, Hosea, fired the shots at the vans. At least one member of T.I.’s crew returned fire. In exchange for Padron Thomas’ testimony against his brother, prosecutors have agreed to drop murder charges against him, allow him to plead guilty to manslaughter and have any sentence he receives in the case to run at the same time as a federal prison sentence.
