JOLIE TREATS PITT TO ARCHITECTURAL BIRTHDAY TOUR

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:57 am

ANGELINA JOLIE treated boyfriend BRAD PITT to a tour of a famous house built by his architectural idol FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT for his upcoming birthday.
Pitt turns 42 on 18 December (06) and Jolie surprised him with a trip to Wright’s masterpiece, Fallingwater, in Pennsylvania on Thursday (07DEC06).
Jolie and the OCEAN’S ELEVEN star, who is an architecture buff, took a two-hour guided tour and then held a private birthday party in Fallingwater’s living room.
CARA ARMSTRONG, the house’s curator of education, who led the couple on their tour, said, "Brad said he had wanted to experience Fallingwater ever since he took an architectural history course in college. He and I talked quite a bit about design and art. He was incredibly well informed about architecture." Armstrong told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper the celebrity couple were "very gracious and very engaged in the house. As we say in the Midwest, you could tell their mothers raised them right." The famous house, in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles (80 kilometres) southeast of Pittsburgh, is built over the wooded Mill Run creek.
After the tour, the couple headed to the living room to enjoy champagne and caviar, which Jolie had arranged to have sent in and later invited the staff to join them.
Jolie told Fallingwater staff members that selecting a birthday gift for Pitt was challenging, adding, "He’s so hard to buy for."

  • SNIPES SET FREE AFTER POSTING BAIL

    Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:54 am

    LATEST: Actor WESLEY SNIPES was set free by a Florida judge this morning (08DEC06) after posting $1 million (£513,000) in bail related to federal tax evasion charges levelled against him.
    The 44-year-old star appeared in a federal courthouse in Ocala, Florida after flying in on a private jet from Namibia where he is filming the cowboy movie GALLOWWALKER.
    He pleaded not guilty to charges he fraudulently claimed refunds totalling nearly $12 million dollars (£6.15 million) from taxes he paid in 1996 and 1997.
    The federal indictment accuses Snipes of using an accounting firm known for filing false returns in exchange for 20 per cent of all the money refunded and he is also charged with failing to file any tax returns from 1999 to 2004.
    Snipes’ attorney BILLY MARTIN said outside the courthouse, "Mr Snipes left America to begin filming Gallowwalker long before this indictment was returned.
    "We want to make it clear that he did not avoid returning to the United States. He’s always been ready to return and he did not flee." Snipes added, "I wanna say thanks to everybody, thanks to all of the fans out there for showing support. I look forward to clearing my name and resolving this issue post-haste." The actor is returning to Africa to continue working on the film. He faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted on the charges.

  • VILLAGE PEOPLE STAR STILL AMAZED BY THE POWER OF YMCA

    Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:51 am

    The popularity of VILLAGE PEOPLE star RANDY JONES’ biggest hit still amazes him - politicians and top dignitaries know all the words and actions to gay anthem YMCA.
    The singer, who was the Village People’s COWBOY, admits he still gets a thrill when he’s invited to engagements and watches the most important people in America saluting the smash hit.
    He says, "About once or twice a year I get invited to a Yankees (baseball) home game and this year I was invited to sit in the mayor’s box with 57,000 people.
    "In the box was MAYOR (MICHAEL) BLOOMBERG and the former Mayor RUDY GIULIANI… At the seventh inning stretch they play YMCA and when it comes to the chorus the cameras turn around on us and I look up at the JumboTron screen and I see Bloomberg, Giuliani and 57,000 other people forming the letters of YMCA like it’s second nature." But that magical moment wasn’t as surreal as the night Jones performed the song at The White House after he was invited to US President GEORGE W BUSH’s inaugural ball.
    He adds, "I got on stage and dedicated my performance to the office of the president of the United States and to the man that I’ve been married to for 23 years.
    "There are 3,000 Republicans who paid $2,500-a-piece for their seats… and I went into YMCA. By the time I got to the chorus 3,000 people in ball gowns and tuxedos, including President Bush, were standing in front of me doing the letters YMCA."
