SHOWBIZ BRIEFS Police Stop Eminem Show in Scotland GLASGOW, SCOTLAND (AP) - Police had to temporarily stop an Eminem concert after 45 people were injured when the audience surged forward as the controversial rap star came on stage. None of the injuries from the Saturday concert were serious. Police said eleven people were taken to local hospitals and released after treatment. The others were treated at first aid tents set up around the outdoor concert site. Eminem, who was asked by police to stay backstage until the injured people were removed from the crowd, was allowed to continued his show at Glasgow’s “Gig in the Green” festival after a 30 minute break. “Eminem and his band did all they could to help the situation, and we are grateful for his support,” a spokesman for Strathclyde police said. Some 30,000 people attended the first day of the two-day rock festival, whichprotesters targeted Saturday. Religious groups said they were protesting what they called the “anti-Christian message” in shows by the Detroit rapper Eminem and Marilyn Manson. Acts scheduled to perform Sunday include Iggy Pop, Green Day and Travis. Chris Tucker Joins Africa Delegation WASHINGTON (AP) - Actor Chris Tucker, co-star of the hit movie Rush Hour 2, is joining a congressional delegation during a visit next week to Africa. Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okla., announced that Tucker would join six members of Congress and about 30 business leaders during a stop in Nigeria on Wednesday. “Chris Tucker is known throughout the world as a big name movie star,” Watts said. “It is my hope he will be able to bring that same degree of awareness to the opportunities in Nigeria and all of Africa.” The delegation is visiting four west African nations next week to promote business, trade, improved health care and democracy, Watts said. Jersey Explore all five Kevin Smith films CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 appear as the two race across the country. Their mission: to stop production of the movie Bluntman and Chronic Strike Back. (Bluntman and Chronic are their fictitious counterparts, introduced in Chasing Amy.). Along the way, movie refer ences and unending cameos make this feel like The Muppet Movie on some very serious drugs. Without a doubt, Smith made this movie solely for his fans. In a world where most di rectors keep their focus on the almighty dollar, Smith wants only to thank the people who helped him get where he is. While it’s sad to see Jay, Silent Bob and the rest of the Askewniverse go, Kevin Smith will always be writing witty di alogue and directing the best damn movies he can. Cheers, Kevin. Note to serious Askew fans: stick around after the credits - it’s worth it. f VERAf BRADLEY, £ Introducing Ming Largest Selection of Vera Bradley in downtown Columbia Luggage 1111 Lady St. 765-9010 LADIES #518 SUPER-LOW • Levi's DENIM SKIRTS • Levi's KNIT TOPS — ■ ■;" i." ;m ■ ALSO - USC Gamecock Caps _$5“_ /rr\>J Summer is Over...
