SPEARS SINGLE AGAIN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:19 pm

BRITNEY SPEARS is single again after reportedly getting dumped by boyfriend ISAAC COHEN after just one month of dating.
Cohen broke the news to the TOXIC singer during a long-distance phone call on Sunday evening (04FEB07) while she was in New York City and he was in Los Angeles.
Cohen’s agent, BRANDI LORD, confirms the split to US OK! magazine saying, "They are no longer an item." The pair met through Spears’ choreographer and began dating in mid-December (06), a month after Spears filed for divorce from husband KEVIN FEDERLINE.
Friends say Cohen, 25, has been "looking to get out of the relationship for a while," adding, "It was a bit much for him. There was a lot of drama - it was too much of a whirlwind." One pal tells OK magazine, "He likes her. They had a good time together. He was doing his best to help her out - but there is only so much one person can do."

SPEARS SEX SHOCKER REVEALED BY FEDERLINE FRIEND

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:16 pm

BRITNEY SPEARS’ divorce battle could spark new rumours about the pop star’s sexuality - if her estranged husband goes public with party gossip.
Rap music producer OMAR `ICEMAN’ SHARIF, who is one of KEVIN FEDERLINE’s confidantes, has gone public with reports about Spears’ wild secret life, claiming the TOXIC singer staged same sex parties at the mansion she shared with his pal.
Sharif tells In Touch magazine, "Britney was into threesomes and girls," adding the pop star would often invite a bunch of girlfriends over to the couple’s house to party.
This comes years after bisexual porn queen JENNA JAMESON revealed she and Spears had a special connection after the pop star told a mutual friend she was a fan of the actress’ steamy movies.
Jameson revealed Spears invited her to the opening of her Nyla restaurant, but her handlers kept her away from the pop star.
One source tells In Touch that Federline plans to use details of his estranged wife’s sexploits if his custody battle over their sons JAYDEN JAMES and SEAN PRESTON turns ugly.
The insider tells the publication, "He wants to show that she’s not such an angel after all."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:16 pm

JANE FONDA and fellow 60-something star SALLY FIELD have made a promise to each other they will not have any more plastic surgery.
Fonda, 69, is determined to grow old gracefully, instead of fighting the aging process, and recently started a radio network for women to help empower them.
She explains, "I realised that I’m going to be 70 in a year, and I have chosen not to have any more plastic surgery.
"Sally Field and I have kind of made a pact about that. We need women friends, women who challenge us." Fonda says she wants to be a role model for older women, adding, "It’s really hard, especially if you’re a public person. But I want to give a face to aging."

Oscar nominee JENNIFER HUDSON has paid tribute to her longtime boyfriend in print and now she hopes to make him feel extra special if she wins gold at the Academy Awards.
The DREAMGIRLS star has dated sweetheart JAMES since 1999 and she wants him to play a major part in her Oscar night success - if she’s picked as Best Supporting Actress.
She tells Giant magazine, "He’s seen it all and been through it all with me.
I’m the dreamer, and he supports my dreams - always has.
"He’s happy to be my rock and let me fly and I couldn’t ask for anything more than that.
"I think it makes more sense for me to date somebody outside of show biz.
They are stationary, stable, a home base… I have a patient, understanding man who’s there for me when I get home. He’s home to me."

CARREY USES NAILS & NEUBAUTEN TO FIND CREEPY SPARROW

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:13 pm

JIM CARREY got into the dark mindset of his latest movie character by listening to the thumping sounds of NINE INCH NAILS and German industrial rockers EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN.
The actor asked THE NUMBER 23 director JOEL SCHUMACHER to help him come up with an iPod tracklist that would help him get into the tormented mind of his obsessed and insane character WALTER SPARROW for dark scenes in the film.
So Schumacher commissioned a hardcore goth-rock expert to create a selection of tracks which Carrey could pump through his headphones in between takes.
According to production notes, these tracks included Nine Inch Nails’ MR SELF DESTRUCT, VANADIUM I CHING by Einsturzende Neubauten, SKINNY PUPPY’s ADDICTION and SLIPKNOT’s WAIT & BLEED.
A set source says, "Jim often uses music to help him get into character and this pounding industrial rock really helped him create a dark and manic character."

O’NEAL’S SON PLOTS ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:10 pm

LATEST: RYAN O’NEAL’s son GRIFFIN is preparing to charge his dad with attempted murder, according to the 42 year old’s pals.
The father and son fought after a family get together turned sour on Saturday night (03FEB07) and police were called when neighbours heard a shot ring out.
Conflicting reports suggest Griffin attacked the movie star with a poker and accidentally struck his own pregnant girlfriend, prompting his father to fire off a shotgun round in a desperate attempt to bring the peace.
And, in a new National Enquirer exclusive, a family friend claims the fight started when Ryan found his younger son REDMOND tied up like a dog in the yard after Griffin dished out a severe punishment to his troubled little brother upon finding his sibling unconscious in his bedroom following a drug-using session.
Meanwhile, Griffin’s half-sister TATUM O’NEAL has come forward with her own view of the events, claiming her father was the aggressor and her brother was simply trying to protect Redmond.
Ryan O’Neal was arrested for assault and a handgun offence, but now friends insist Griffin plans to make sure his dad pays for the family feud.
One tells the Enquirer, "He said, `I’m pressing attempted murder charges. My dad’s a madman - he tried to kill us… My dad went off his rocker.’" Friday night’s fight isn’t the first time the warring O’Nealshave hit the headlines for fisticuffs. Ryan knocked out Griffin’s front teeth during a row when he was just 14.

CONNICK JR GOES ON SHOPPING SPREE AFTER SURGERY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:04 pm

A post-surgery shopping spree in cyberspace left singer HARRY CONNICK JR more than a little stunned because he couldn’t remember buying any of the gifts as they arrived at his home.
The smooth crooner was high on painkillers after a recent operation when he decided it was time to shop online.
The IT HAD TO BE YOU singer explains, "I had some surgery and I have to admit I understand how people become addicted to these pharmaceuticals that they prescribe after the surgery for killing pain. They’re absolutely amazing.
"I was in such a state while I was recovering from this surgery and the pain medication that I was on sort of took all the inhibitions out that I may have had. I found that I was ordering things online; big boxes of stuff would arrive at my house.
"I had a box of 100 radio controlled cars. I ordered this Chinese guitar and it was like ten bucks. They also sent me some Chinese jade jewellery along with the guitar, so I got into that. So I have the cars, the guitars, the jade jewellery, it’s a lot of crap.
"It’s difficult to store and also to explain to my wife or anyone who handles my finances, what you’re doing with all the jade. But you can’t beat it!"

The 32-year-old says going out has actually helped his songwriting adding, "I drink a lot. I do." He states, "I go to a quiet place and start writing. I’m not an observer, (songs come from) something I’ve experienced or felt. "The last two years will have a place on the next record."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:01 pm

LATEST: The confusion surrounding COURTNEY LOVE’s alleged approach to appear on TV talent show AMERICAN IDOL has been cleared up - by a programme insider.
