Eminem Pulls a Jacko

Eminem's latest celeb target: Michael Jackson.

The people-displeasin' rapper, who has provoked Mariah Carey, dissed Christina Aguilera and denied "Weird Al" Yankovic, spoofed Jacko Tuesday in Scotland, dangling a fake baby from a hotel window.

Any resemblance between Eminem's antics and Jacko's scandalous ones in Berlin last November (in which a real baby was the dangled object) was purely intentional.

"It's an obvious joke," a spokesperson for the hip-hopster told E! News Live on Wednesday. "It's obvious what he's poking fun at. He has people outside hotels wherever he goes, and he was just having some fun."

Upping the fun quotient: Eminem, wearing a Jacko-esque surgical mask, didn't just dangle his dolly at the ArtHouse Hotel in Glasgow, he tossed the thing up in the air.

Showing concern for the action figure, Mr. Mathers caught the blond-haired babe before it could fall to the unforgiving pavement--one story below.

Then he raised his fist and doffed his disguise.

For the record, Jackson was wearing his trademark red shirt but not his trademark surgical mask, when he appeared at the window of his hotel room last fall and held out blanket-covered son Prince Michael II, aka Blanket, to his cheering fans four stories below.

Although Jacko took heat from media pundits over his dubious display of parenting tactics, the Pop Oddity insisted his child was never at risk and that he merely wanted to show off li'l Blanket's "spirit."

Eminem appears to have just been showing off his snarky spirit.

The 8 Mile star currently is many miles away from his Stateside home, on the road in the United Kingdom with his Anger Management Tour.

He endeared himself to fans in a U.K. show Monday night, taking off a necklace and handing it to a fan in the front row. The British tabs said Eminem announced the piece was worth $450,000. The rapper's rep said it wasn't worth that much and that the tabs invented the six-figure figure. (The rep also noted the necklace wasn't exactly a Cracker Jack throwaway, either.)

Jackson's camp, meanwhile, declined to comment Wednesday on the Oscar-winning rapper's satirical skills.

Eminem, who previously has ripped the likes of Aguilera in song, is fresh off tiffs with Carey and Yankovic.

Last month, Carey accused the Slim Shady one of acting "a little bit girly" for reportedly threatening to go public with phone messages she left on his machine. (Eminem, who has claimed the two briefly dated, denied he intended to sample the songbird's words.)

As for Yankovic, the musical funnyman expressed disappointment that Eminem blocked him from filming a music video for his latest opus, "Couch Potato," a reworked version of the 8 Mile hit, "Lose Yourself."

Eminem's rep said, at the time, that the rapper didn't mind "Weird Al" messing with the song's lyrics, but that he wanted to preserve its image.
