Hollywood stunner Kim Basinger has incurred the wrath of 8 Mile co-star Eminem's mother - because Debbie Mathers claims she portrays her falsely. The film, which is loosely based on the rapper's troubled life prior to his incredible success, includes Basinger's character Stephanie Smith who is a direct representation of the Lose Yourself rapper's real life mother. His grandmother Betty Kresin has spoken of how upset Debbie is after watching the film, particularly because in Basinger's onscreen counterpart sports a bad hairstyle. Kresin says, "I know Debbie has been to see the film because she was so upset by it. Kim has a beer in her hand in the film but Debbie hardly drinks. She was unhappy about that. I've never seen alcohol in Debbie's life apart from some of the low-life men she has known. Kim's hair is so stringy in the film but Debbie always kept hers perfect. She never had one hair out of place - her kids couldn't hug her because she was worried about her hair getting messed up. Debbie keeps her home perfectly clean, but in the film Kim's trailer home is a complete mess. She told me Kim should have kept her hair good, her trailer clean and not drink beer. It has turned into the battle of the blondes. Marshall says at the beginning of the film that it is fictional but I can see why Debbie has taken it so personally. I can see much of it is based on his life." »
