Britney Spears has been advised to end her friendship with Paris Hilton if she ever wants to rebuild her music career.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

The ‘Toxic’ singer - who befriended the hotel heiress after filing for divorce from Kevin Federline last month - has not been seen partying with Paris for almost two weeks now.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Britney has been told by her people that if she ever wants a comeback, she has to stay far away from Paris and start acting like an adult." Britney - who has two sons, 15-month-old Sean Preston and three-month-old Jayden James, with Kevin - was seen enjoying a string of late nights with Paris immediately after dumping Kevin.
She was also photographed on four occasions not wearing any underwear.
The 25-year-old singer has since apologised to her fans, via her official website, for her behaviour, saying: "Thank God for the new underwear line from Victoria’s Secret! "I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me. I’m just getting started!" Britney has not released any music for two years but has been in the recording studios since she filed for divorce.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

The actress and her lover Brad Pitt decided to treat the five-year-old to a dish of crunchy crickets during a recent trip to Maddox’s native Cambodia.
She revealed: "I recently took Mad to Cambodia and it was the first trip there where he really understood it.
"We took him to a restaurant in the middle of the night and he had his first plate of crickets." The insects - which are rich in protein - are a traditional dish in the Southeast Asian country.
Angelina is also said to love cockroaches and bee larvae and has been searching for recipes so she can serve them up at home.
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old has confessed for the first time that she fell for Brad while he was still married.
Angelina and Brad grew close during filming ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’, although Angelina insists there was no romance until Brad, 42, split from his wife Jennifer Aniston in 2005.
She revealed to America’s Vogue magazine: "We ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange, friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened."

George Clooney is terrified of mobile phones.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

‘The Good German’ actor is paranoid that new technology, such as camera-phones, could jeopardize his career because he can no longer hide from prying lenses and every wrong move he makes can easily be photographed.
He is quoted by Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper as saying: "It’s not that actors have all gone crazy, it’s that there are just so many different sources now.
"You know, everybody’s got a camera on their phone now so, all the time, any mistake that anybody makes, you’re going to have it on film. And boy, there have already been some dumb mistakes." The 45-year-old bachelor is known for his womanising ways and has been linked to host of famous beauties, including Teri Hatcher and Renée Zellweger.
However, the two-time winner of People magazine’s prestigious Sexiest Man Alive title recently admitted he is getting too old to be a ladies man.
When asked if he could have any woman he wanted, Clooney said: "Um, ah, no, because I wake up and my knees hurt and I think, ‘I’m 45′."

‘The Holiday’ actress - who is romancing singer Justin Timberlake - admits she fell for Pammie as a teenager when she saw the buxom blonde clad in a skin-tight red swimsuit on ‘Baywatch’.
She told Gay magazine The Advocate: "I had a major girl-crush on Pamela Anderson. Still do - she’s hot as ever - but she was my first. When I first discovered her I was like, ‘Wow, she’s so beautiful!’" Cameron, 34, also confessed her friends would not be surprised if she came out as a lesbian because she is so open about her appreciation of the female form.
Meanwhile, the ‘In Her Shoes’ star has revealed she makes love to relax.
She said: "Sex is the most amazing stress reliever. I actually think it’s the best thing for everything! I think it should be 100 per cent part of everyone’s life on a day-to-day basis. We’d all be a lot happier!"

Yoko Ono’s chauffeur was arrested yesterday (13.12.06) for trying to bribe her for $2 million.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

Driver Koral Karsan threatened to leak embarrassing photographs of the 73-year-old and hinted he would kill her and her son Sean Lennon if he did not received the huge sum.
Karsan - who has worked for Yoko, the widow of John Lennon, for six years - was arrested, pending charges, by New York police after Yoko reported the threats.
Yoko’s spokesman, Elliot Mintz said: "She is one woman who has been through enough.
"For an employee - especially a trusted employee who drove her - to attempt a shakedown has left her just absolutely shocked." Police said that on December 8, the 26th anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination, Karsan delivered a threatening note and a photo of Yoko in nightclothes to her apartment in New York’s Dakota building, where she once lived with the former Beatle.
In a later conversation with one of Yoko’s associates, which was recorded by investigators, the 50-year-old chauffeur talked about killing her, her son and himself.
Mintz added: "You’re reminded that this takes place around that time of the anniversary, when she is in a particularly vulnerable position.
"It just adds insult to injury. This one’s really cold." John was shot on the night of December 8, 1980, by crazed fan Mark David Chapman.
The music legend and his wife were returning to the Dakota building from a recording studio when Chapman opened fire with a .38-caliber revolver shooting him four times.

Bob Dylan wants to stop the release of new film ‘Factory Girl’ because he believes it falsely implies he is responsible for Edie Sedgwick’s suicide.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

The music legend has written to producers Bob Yari and Holly Wiersma, and screenwriter Aaron Richard Golub, demanding the movie - a biopic about artist Andy Warhol’s young muse - is shelved until it has been determined whether or not he is defamed in the film.
Sedgwick, played by Sienna Miller, was Warhol’s biggest protégé until she became addicted to drugs and killed herself by overdosing on barbiturates in 1971.
While living at New York’s Chelsea Hotel she befriended Dylan and the pair are rumoured to have had a relationship.
Dylan’s lawyer, Orin Snyder, has said the original screenplay portrayed the alleged relationship using Dylan’s name, and suggested he dumped Sedgwick - causing "her tragic decline into heroin addiction and eventual suicide." The name has now been changed to ‘Danny Quinn’ in the film and the character, played by Hayden Christensen, is said to be a combination of Dylan, the late Doors frontman Jim Morrison and Sir Mick Jagger.
But Snyder insists critics who have previewed the film say it is unmistakably Dylan.
A trailer shows Quinn wearing Dylan’s trademark harmonica brace and cap as he performs.
According to the New York Post newspaper, Snyder warned: "You appear to be labouring under the misunderstanding that merely changing the name of a character or making him a purported fictional composite will immunize you from a suit. That is not so. Even though Mr. Dylan’s name is not used, the portrayal remains both defamatory and a violation of Mr. Dylan’s right of publicity.
"Until we are given an opportunity to view the film, we hereby demand that all distribution and screenings immediately be ceased." The Weinstein Company, which is releasing the film on December 27, has so far declined to comment.

Nicole Richie will go to jail if she is convicted of driving under the influence.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

‘The Simple Life’ star - who was charged for the offence on Monday (11.12.06) - has a previous DUI charge and California law states that a repeat offence carries the mandatory sentence of five consecutive days in county jail.
If convicted, Nicole would also have her driving license suspended for one year and be ordered to attend an alcohol education programme for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related.
Nicole, the adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning for driving the wrong way along a California freeway.
She admitted to police she had taken the strong painkiller Vicodin and had smoked marijuana.
Nicole was first arrested for DUI in 2002. She told police she had eaten French fries and drunk a shot of vodka.
She pleaded no contest to the charge, was sentenced to three years probation and had her driving license suspended for one year.
Six months later, Nicole was arrested for possession of heroin and for driving with a suspended license.
Friends insist the 25-year-old only takes Vicodin to relieve menstrual pain.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "She knows she made a mistake, but overall she’s in a better place. She has come a long way from her heroin days." The friend also claimed that Nicole actually weighs 95 pounds, not 85 pounds as stated in the police report.
The source added: "She’s so proud of her weight gain. She doesn’t know where the cops came up with 85 pounds and it’s annoying to her."

Jade Jagger has been targeted by animal rights campaigners.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

The daughter of Sir Mick Jagger, who has openly bragged about her penchant for fur, found herself lost for words when she met PETA vice-president Dan Mathews recently.
Mathews was said to be disappointed by Jade’s silent treatment and decided to send her an anti-fur video along with a note which read: "I wish we could have spoken more. You seem a decent person and if you took a few minutes to investigate the real story behind fur, perhaps you’d see it as more than just a fabric.
"Please watch the video and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us." Jade, 35, has so far failed to respond.
The jewellery designer has welcomed criticism from animal rights activists in the past, saying, "I have no fear of paintball shooters, I have been trying to get their attention for years. Come and get me!" It was revealed last month that Jade is launching a new range of clothes for high street giant TopShop.
The new line, called Jezebel, will arrive in stores at the same time as her friend Kate Moss’ range.
Jade has dismissed any rumours of rivalry between herself and the supermodel.
She said:" There’s no rivalry. I’ll probably be first in the queue for Kate’ s stuff and I’ll definitely be giving her a few key pieces of my own to wear. That girl has amazing style."

Uma Thurman had to be rescued after getting stuck in a lift.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:32 pm

The actress, who is currently filming ‘The Accidental Husband’, suffered her own mishap when she became trapped in a New York elevator after trying to fit too many people inside.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Uma was running late the other afternoon. She stuffed eight people into an elevator built for four in a Manhattan building. Uma was trapped for more than 20 minutes.
"Luckily, her bodyguard Leonard Taylor rescued her. He pulled the elevator door open with one arm and used his belt as a pulley with his other arm." The ‘Kill Bill’ actress plays a radio host, Emma Lloyd, who advises a listener to break up with her boyfriend, a New York fireman, in the new romantic comedy.
The fireman - played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan - then tries to take his revenge by wrecking Emma’s personal life.
Uma begged Hollywood bosses not to write her off earlier this year.
The 36-year-old, who claims Tinseltown has a habit of putting female stars out to pasture as they advance in years, insists she is getting better with age.
She said: "Theoretically, athletes run more slowly as they get older. But actors get better. They may be less attractive but, professionally, they grow richer and deeper."

The Killers have been asked to record the theme song for the next James Bond film.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:31 pm

The US rockers - singer Brandon Flowers, guitarist Dave Keuning, drummer Ronnie Vannucci and bassist Mark Stoermer - are now deciding whether to pen the theme to the ‘Casino Royale’ sequel, tentatively titled ‘Bond 22′.
A source said: "The Killers have reached the perfect point in their career to do a Bond track. They have the right sound, right look and a huge fanbase." If the band does accept the offer they will be following in the footsteps of a host of revered artists who have lent their music to a Bond movie.
Madonna, Tina Turner, Duran Duran, Sheryl Crow, Shirley Bassey and Sir Paul McCartney’s former band Wings have all penned 007 theme songs.
Chris Cornell, the former lead singer of Soundgarden, recorded the track, ‘You Know My Name’, for ‘Casino Royale’.
Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Bond for the next movie.

Victoria Beckham has begged friend Tom Cruise to help Mel B get through her messy break-up from Eddie Murphy.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:31 pm

Victoria - who has remained close to her former Spice Girls bandmate - was appalled to hear Eddie questioning the paternity of Mel’s unborn child.
The 32-year-old star has now apparently turned to the ‘Top Gun’ actor - who is friends with Eddie - to try and make the ‘Dr Dolittle’ star see sense.
A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: "Mel has told Victoria about Eddie’s comments on the phone. So Victoria mentioned Mel B’s situation to Tom, who is pals with Eddie. It seems Tom may now have a gentle word with him about backing off." As well as Tom, Victoria - who is married to soccer superstar David Beckham - wants more of her high-profile friends to rally round Mel B.
The source added: "It’s highly likely that all Victoria’s American allies will be on Mel’s side. Jennifer Lopez, who is becoming a good pal of Victoria’s, knows how it works in Hollywood and is all for a bit of ‘Girl Power’." Mel B was left devastated after finding out Eddie had ended their five-month romance during a TV interview.
The ‘Nutty Professor’ actor - who is now dating film producer Tracey Edmonds - also said he would be demanding a DNA test to prove he is the father of Mel’s child after it is born.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:17 am

The attractive couple - who met on the set of their movie ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ - were awarded the accolade by People magazine.

She said: "Brad can be, but if Z doesn’t get the bottle from me, she’ll quickly run to daddy." Angelina also gushed that she and Brad, 43, are very proud parents.
She added: "Somebody said to us recently that they were happy kids, and we talked about how much that meant to us to hear. And they’re good kids. God knows how we managed to do that - but they’re good kids." Asked which child ran the roost, the ‘Tomb Raider’ star replied: "I bet if you asked Brad, he’d say Zahara. Mad is very smart, but he’s got a certain sense of calm. Zahara is possible the funniest person I’ve ever met in my life. So dramatic and creative, and loud and charming. She’s definitely the biggest personality in the house."

Kate Hudson says Owen Wilson made her model bikinis for him on the set of ‘You Me and Dupree’.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:16 am

The 27-year-old actress has revealed her co-star - who she has been romantically linked to since splitting from her rocker husband Chris Robinson - loved shooting a raunchy dream sequence with her, because he got to help pick out some swimwear for her to wear.
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: "Owen and the directors came out and we were trying to pick out the bikini for the scene and they made me put on the same one a hundred times.
"One time Owen goes, ‘I like that one - turn around!’ And I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ "It was really funny. It was all in good humour. Some of the bikinis I tried on were super-trashy, well, most of them were, but we all decided that the black crochet one was the way to go." Kate has also confessed she starved herself before the scene in order to look her best.
She added: "The night before I did stop eating at 7.30pm. I remember I was starving at 9pm, thinking, ‘Maybe I’ll have a hot chocolate…’ I love eating at night."

The ‘We Are Marshall’ actor insists he is still good friends with his former lover and was blown away by her performance in her latest movie ‘Volver’.
He said: "I just saw ‘Volver’, in fact. She’s going to get an Oscar nomination - or she should. She’s incredibly excited about that film." Matthew, 37, also spoke about his admiration for another close friend, cycling legend Lance Armstrong.
He gushed: "Lance has been a great friend. He’s one of the great new relationships I’ve found in the last couple years.
"He’s a great man. You look for people or ideas who are inspiring and he definitely is." The pals are often spotted working-out together, but Matthew insists despite his vigorous exercise regime he still doesn’t stand a chance against seven-time Tour de Force winner Lance.
He added: "When people say to me, ‘You’re in great shape, you must keep up with Lance?’ I start laughing. I see the back of his jersey for the first 200 yards of the ride and, after that, I don’t see him again until the end."

Rod Stewart struggles to make love to fiancée Penny Lancaster if there’s music playing in the background.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:16 am

The 61-year-old rocker has confessed he finds it difficult to concentrate on the job in hand if he can hear a song playing, and admits he needs to concentrate a lot more in the bedroom than he did when he was younger.
Rod, who is a renowned womaniser, told British radio station Heart: "I’m not one for having music on, or the TV, or any distractions for that matter. I just like a few candles around the place otherwise I lose my concentration. To be a good lover takes great concentration. Penny is a lucky lady, but I’m also a very lucky man. She’s heaven sent." Rod is not the only male star who cannot perform between the sheets if there is music playing.
Justin Timberlake recently admitted he can’t make love to girlfriend Cameron Diaz if he can hear a song playing - because he loses his focus.
He said: "I have trouble having sex to music because I’ll start picking out the chords."
