STEWART REFUSES TO FUEL PATTINSON ROMANCE REPORTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:54 pm

TWILIGHT star KRISTEN STEWART is tiring of reports she’s dating her movie co-star ROBERT PATTINSON, insisting she’s sick of reading the same story every day.
The young actors have been forced to deny persistent reports they have taken their on-screen romance off-screen and Stewart admits the constant speculation over her private life is beginning to irk her.
In an interview with America’s Allure magazine, the actress refuses to answer questions about the extent of her relationship with Pattinson for fear of fueling reports they are a real-life couple.
She says, "I read that story every day… It’s in a story every day, so let’s not put it in another one."

COX PREPARING FOR ANOTHER BABY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:51 pm

COURTENEY COX is about to start trying for a second child - because she can feel her biological clock ticking.
The former Friends star has a five-year-old daughter, Coco, with husband David Arquette, and the couple is keen to expand its family in the future.
But at 45, Cox feels she can’t put off getting pregnant any longer - or she could miss out on being a mum again.
She tells OK! magazine, "We’re not trying yet. We’re revving up the engines. I’m only ready ’cause time’s a-ticking.
"If I was 34, I’d wait another year, because I like those three-to-four gaps. I want Coco to be helping me with the next one. One child is hard. Two is probably harder." And Cox admits recent reports claiming she can’t have any more children are ridiculous: "There was a photo of me coming out of a doctor’s office and it said that I’m going through the menopause and that I’m really upset because I can’t have another child."

DE NIRO’S CONSTRUCTION DELAY ANGERS NEW YORK OFFICIALS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:51 pm

ROBERT DE NIRO has angered New York City officials after refusing to reconstruct his upscale Manhattan hotel to meet city standards.
Bosses at the Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) ordered the actor to modify his Greenwich Hotel in June 2008 after he built the structure without the commission’s approval.
Officials argue the building’s architectural style does not fit in with the industrial Tribeca neighbourhood and have asked De Niro to modify the sprawling penthouse, which executives claim is 1,100 square feet bigger than the design approved in 2004.
The actor has yet to correct the building, blaming the non-compliance on "mistakes".
De Niro’s business partners and team of architects were set to appear before the commission on Friday (09Oct09) to explain the delay in bringing the structure up to standard.
An LPC spokesperson would not confirm the meeting, citing "the ongoing application process".
The commission has yet to set a date for De Niro to reconstruct the hotel. According to the New York Post, he could be ordered to tear the structure down, costing an estimated $1.5 million (£1 million).

He tells the New York Daily News, "He (Parker) made a couple of comments early on that maybe he thought I was his competition. The reality is, I am. (She’s) a hot lady." And he’s not scared of the San Antonio Spurs star: "I don’t know Tony well - we’ve only hung out a few times - but he doesn’t intimidate me."

ANKA PROMISED 50 PER CENT OF THIS IS IT ROYALTIES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:48 pm

Legendary singer/songwriter PAUL ANKA will reap half the profits from MICHAEL JACKSON’s first posthumous single THIS IS IT - after the King of Pop’s estate conceded he co-wrote the track.
Anka spoke out against Sony’s decision to use the song, which he co-wrote with Jackson back in 1983, following the track’s midnight release on Monday (12Oct09).
This Is It is a rehash of Anka’s song I Never Heard, and the late star’s administrators quickly confirmed it is part owned by Anka.
A rep for the estate said, "We acknowledge that Michael and Paul wrote this song together." According to the New York Daily News, Jackson’s administrators approached Anka’s lawyers to offer him 50 per cent of the single’s revenue after he threatened the estate with legal action.

BUNTON’S SON HOSPITALISED

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:48 pm

Former SPICE GIRLS singer EMMA BUNTON was left in tears after her two-year-old son was admitted to hospital following a nasty accident.
Beau, Bunton’s only child with partner Jade Jones, fell over last week (beg05Oct09) and was left with a bloodied lip.
The toddler’s worried parents took him to hospital in London and Bunton reveals it was one of the most frightening incidents of her life.
She tells British magazine Now, "It’s been an emotional week for me as Beau had his first accident, which left both of us in tears. He fell over his scooter and his tooth pierced his bottom lip, so there was blood everywhere." The former singer was relieved when doctors patched Beau up and sent him home, and admits she probably over-reacted.
She adds, "After a trip to A&E (the Accident and Emergency department), where the other mums assured me it would be the first of many accidents, he’s absolutely fine and probably enjoyed all the ice cream and lolly treats he had that day."

CARLY SIMON SUES STARBUCKS OVER ALBUM

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:42 pm

Sixties icon CARLY SIMON is suing Starbucks, blaming bosses of the coffee chain’s record label for the poor sales of her 2008 album THIS KIND OF LOVE.
Simon signed a deal to release the Brazilian-themed disc through Starbucks’ Hear Music label.
The record sold just 124,000 copies, a third of the sales of her 2005 album Moonlight Serenade.
Its poor performance has forced Simon to cancel her retirement plans, and she’s accusing Starbucks of mismanaging the project.
In a lawsuit filed on Friday (09Oct09), Simon alleges label bosses halved her advance, and have yet to pay her what she is owed.
She also claims Starbucks scaled back its Hear Music venture just days after signing her, handing day-to-day management of the album to a new partner.
The lawsuit accuses Starbucks executives of promotional negligence, alleging they failed to stock her CD in many of its stores - and failed to warn her about the downgrading of their involvement with Hear Music.
Simon’s lawyer says, "Instead of advising her as soon as they could that this was a problem, Starbucks kept it secret, and they tried to deceive her even after they made the so-called public announcement." The singer claims the fiasco has left her in financial difficulty, owing money on her home in Massachusetts and forcing her to record another album, Never Been Gone, through her son’s record label.
Her lawsuit demands between $5 million (£3.3 million) and $10 million (£6.6 million) from Starbucks, alleging "concealment of material facts", "tortuous interference" with the contract, and "unlawful, unfair and fraudulent business practices".
A Starbucks spokesman has responded in a statement that reads, "(We are) disappointed to hear that (Simon) may be taking this action. Starbucks has great respect for Ms. Simon and is hopeful that this matter can be resolved in an amicable manner."

GATELY DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:42 pm

BOYZONE star STEPHEN GATELY died of natural causes, a post-mortem has revealed.
The singer suffered pulmonary oedema - a build-up of fluid on the lungs - after a night’s drinking on the Spanish island of Majorca.
The autopsy findings possibly support early reports that Gately choked on his own vomit, but the condition can also be caused by congestive heart failure or problems with blood circulation.
A court official in Majorca said a sample of fluid taken from the lungs will be sent to a forensic laboratory in Barcelona for further tests to confirm the result.
She would not say whether analysis showed Gately had taken any drugs or alcohol but insisted they were not the cause of the tragedy.
The official also declined to comment on reports he had vomited before his death.
Gately was found dead at his luxury home in Port Andratx, Majorca on Saturday (10Oct09) by his partner Andrew Cowles and a clubber they met the previous evening in nearby Palma. Local police have stated there was no sign of violence or drug taking at the property.
Following the autopsy announcement on Tuesday (13Oct09), officials gave permission for Gately’s body to be returned to his native Ireland.

KLUM AND SEAL DELIGHTED WITH ‘BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:06 pm

HEIDI KLUM and her husband SEAL found it was "love at first sight" when they laid eyes on their new baby daughter - calling the new addition "beautiful beyond words." The supermodel gave birth to Lou Samuel on Friday morning (09Oct09), her first daughter with her longtime partner.
The couple already has two sons, Henry, three, and Johan, two, as well as Klum’s daughter Leni, five, from a previous relationship.
Seal admits the whole family is ecstatic about the new arrival.
He says, "Itâs difficult to imagine loving another child as much as you love your existing children. Anyone who has a family will tell you this. Where will one find that extra love? If you love your existing children with all of your heart, how then can one possibly find more heart with which to love another? "On Friday October 9, 2009 at 7:46pm, the answer to this question came in the form of our fourth child and second daughter. Lou Sulola Samuel was born and from the moment she looked into both of our eyes it was endless love at first sight. She is beautiful beyond words and we are happy that she chose us to watch her grow over the coming years.â

SCHWARZENEGGER SIGNS ANTI-PAPARAZZI BILL

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:06 pm

California Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has paved the way for a string of celebrity lawsuits - he has signed a bill giving stars greater powers to sue over paparazzi pictures.
The Terminator actor has put pen to paper on proposals which toughen up laws surrounding photographers.
The bill includes an amendment which permits lawsuits against media outlets which pay for, and make first use of, material they know was improperly obtained.
Snappers will now face hefty fines of up to $50,000 (£33,000) for taking, and selling, unauthorised photos of celebrities and their children engaged in "personal or familial activity".
The new laws take effect in January (10) and could lead to a string of court actions from disgruntled stars.

ALLEN WINS DAMAGES OVER BECKHAM & COLE STORY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:03 pm

LILY ALLEN has won libel damages from a British tabloid over false claims she launched a bitter tirade against VICTORIA BECKHAM and CHERYL COLE in a French magazine.
In May (09), British newspaper The Sun reported that the Smile singer had ranted about the former Spice Girl and her husband David, as well as Girls Aloud star Cole, in an interview with French publication SoFoot.
The report stated Allen had branded David and Victoria Beckham "sickening" and had blasted Cole as "stupid" and "superficial".
But Allen quickly denied she had even given an interview to the football magazine, insisting the comments had been fabricated.
Last month (Sep09), The Sun published an apology and retraction of the allegations, with bosses accepting the quotes were false.
On Tuesday (13Oct09), the star was awarded substantial, undisclosed libel damages from the newspaper’s publishers, News Group Newspapers, at London’s High Court.

MADONNA’S TRAINER SUED BY EX

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:03 pm

MADONNA former fitness guru has been targeted in a lawsuit - a former lover alleges the personal trainer conned him out of $1 million (£666,0000).
Tracy Anderson is being sued by ex-boyfriend Glynn Barber, who claims that during his 12-month relationship with the trainer he was persuaded to invest a fortune into her fitness empire.
He claims that after she failed to repay him, or offer a slice of her profits, he was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2007.
Barber has now hit out at his ex in the press, insisting she lied about her past - even pretending she was a Power Ranger and a Broadway star.
Barber tells New York gossip column Page Six, "She used her female charms to manipulate me to invest $1 million in her company.
"I was an easy target. She told me she was a Power Ranger. She told me she was in the musical Cats for four years. She said her ex-husband, Eric, played for the Knicks… None of this turned out to be true." And Barber adds that he also made Madonna’s fitness equipment, only for Anderson to sell it on for a profit: "I made Madonna’s fitness equipment for $13,000 and Tracy sold it to her for $26,000. She made a fortune from using Madonna’s name." Anderson denies all claims in court papers.
The fitness expert was recently dumped by Madonna after she reportedly refused to accompany the superstar on the second leg of her recent European tour, with insiders claiming the Holiday hitmaker was tired of her trainer personal "baggage".

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:03 pm

Reformed rapper PERCY MILLER is feeling charitable this Christmas - he is launching an appeal to help children in need over the holiday season.
The hip-hop star, formerly known as Master P., has teamed up with OneMillionGifts.org to publicise its charity drive which aims to feed and cloth poverty-stricken kids across the globe.
Miller tells AllHipHop.com, "Education saves lives and being charitable and helping those in need has given me a profound happiness in my life, as there is nothing more rewarding than bringing smiles to children who are less fortunate, "Growing up in poverty made me realise that most crimes are committed during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not only will we feed and cloth one million but also we can help prevent a lot of those in need from committing crimes like robbing and stealing the food or gifts they can’t afford during the holidays.â Miller is also hoping to recruit his celebrity friends for the appeal.
He adds, "I’m also reaching out personally to corporations, entrepreneurs, pro-athletes, entertainers, churches, foundations, radio stations, online media, TV stations, Oprah, Dr. Phil, and others that can help bring awareness to this great cause.â
