Controversial rapper Eminem could soon be starring in his own TV show, the Daily Star reports today.

Sources at US cable network HBO said that the show -- which would be worth a cool £1.5 million per episode to the star -- would be "controversial and raunchy."

Eminem, 30, would play a character similar to himself -- a "filthy rich rap star from the wrong side of the tracks."

A pilot script has been written already; the working title of the series is simply Rap. HBO is understood to be pursuing the show as a replacement for Sex and the City, which ends after this season.
