Sobriety may have forced Eminem to take a closer look at life, but he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. The hip-hop superstar gave his friend Elton John a raunchy gift for his civil union to his partner.
The rock legend, who helped the Detroit rapper beat his drug addiction, had a good laugh after receiving Em’s gift. “He’s got a great sense of humor. When David [Furnish] and I had our civil partnership, he sent us a present,” Elton tells Rolling Stone. “In a case, on velvet cushions, were two diamond **** rings. So there’s a homophobe for you [laughs].”
Sir Elton, who performed with Slim Shady at the 2001 Grammys, says the two share a special relationship and even call each other by naughty names. “We have such a laugh. We call each other ****s. I ask him how he’s doing and tell him how proud I am of him.”
The 63-year-old icon couldn’t be happier for the new and improved Em. “I love him. I don’t see much of Marshall, but we speak a lot. He’s really worked very hard as [sobriety], and it’s changed him so much. I just saw a picture of him in a magazine, and he looks like a 17-year-old boy. I’m so happy for him.”
, I don't believe he's homophobic anyway, I think it's just the lyrics he sings.
Which really, are easy to deal with considering how far someone could go if they truly hated gays

This. Maybe it is my decreased sensitivity to gay slurs or something, but when I hear him say things like the "all you lil ******s can suck it"...i don't get offended. I think it's part of his persona and I still like him! Not trying to be friends with the man, but still like his music!
