The news comes on the day Marilyn Manson speaks out in support of the troubled rapper...

Eminem‘s preliminary court appearance in DETROIT on Monday (July 10) was adjourned until August 31 at the request of the troubled rap star’s lawyers.

Eminem was due to appear on charges of allegedly possessing a concealed weapon outside the Hot Rocks Cafe in his hometown of Warren, Detroit, on June 3. They are related to an incident in which he claims he saw his wife kissing another man, whereupon the star allegedly assaulted the man in question.

According to reports in the Detroit News, no reason was given for the adjournment of the case.
