Eminem and Marilyn top acts at festivals


Controversial US stars Eminem and will be the main attractions at this weekend's Reading and Leeds music festivals, which kick off later today.
The two-centred musical spectacular takes place over three days in the two cities with some of the biggest names in rock and dance music headlining.
Among the other big names performing at the festivals are Welsh rockers Manic Street Preachers and Scottish stars Travis.
Rap star Eminem is sure to draw huge crowds when he performs later today on the main stage at Leeds.
When the star toured the UK last February he sparked outrage, with critics slamming his misogynistic and homophobic lyrics.
The chainsaw-wielding rapper was even threatened with arrest after pretending to take ecstasy tablets on stage during his British gigs.
He is due to play at the Reading leg of the event on Sunday both solo and with his band, D12.
Shock rocker Manson also has a reputation for controversy. He was recently arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a male security guard during a performance in Michigan.
He is due to bring his outrageous show to the main stage at Reading on Sunday.
More than 50,000 music fans are expected at both sites on each day of the festival and they will be hoping that the rain, which has a habit of plaguing open air festivals, does not make an appearance.
Some of the other names lining up during the three-day event include hip-hop act Run DMC, Feeder, Fun Lovin' Criminals and up-and-coming New York-based act The Strokes.
