Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:38 pm

The Devon-born singer - who shocked people with her pronounced US drawl at the BRITs last month - says she doesn’t understand why people criticised her accent.
Joss told Britain’s Radio 1: ‘The sound of my voice and my accent doesn’t mean anything.
‘If people have a problem with it - that’s their own inner problem.
‘I’ve been in America since I was 14. That’s why I sound the way I do.’ The 19-year-old ‘Tell Me ‘Bout It’ singer insists she still has the right to moan about her job because singing is ‘hard work’.
She said: ‘Everyone moans about their job. I don’t see why I’m not allowed to moan.
‘It’s hard work and I’m tired and if I want to moan, I’ll moan.’

Naomi Campbell is still terrified of the catwalk, despite being a model for 21 years.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The 36-year-old beauty has confessed she still feels nervous when waiting to strut her stuff.
She is quoted by Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: ‘When I’m out there I’m a nervous wreck. I think my god. I’ve got to show this, got to do this. I’m there to work for the designer. I’m not there to just show myself off.’ However, Naomi believes her last minute butterflies are the secret to her success, and the day they stop is the day she quits modelling for good.
She revealed: ‘Still 21 years later I’m extremely nervous. The day I lose my nerves I think I will have to stop because the nervousness helps me - it pushes me to do my best.’

Britney Spears claimed she was the ‘Antichrist’ before trying to commit suicide, it has been reported.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The troubled singer - who is currently in Malibu’s Promises rehab centre - scribbled 666 on her shaved head and terrified staff by screaming, ‘I am the Antichrist!’.
A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: ‘She was crying and shouting, ‘I am the Antichrist!’ Then she started screaming, ‘I’m a fake!’ ‘Later that night she tried to kill herself. She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt.’ Britney has reportedly begged estranged husband Kevin Federline, 28, to renew their wedding vows and have another child.
The source added: ‘Britney has realised what a rock Kevin has been to her, she wants to be with him again. Britney seems much happier and has calmed down since the incident. She is a completely different Britney from the beginning of the week.’ The 25-year-old is said to have requested one night away from the clinic to be with Kevin.
Just weeks ago, Britney and Kevin were embroiled in a bitter custody battle for their sons, 17-month-old Sean Preston and five-month-old Jayden James.
Britney quit rehab and was seen attacking a photographer and a car with an umbrella outside Kevin’s home, after he refused to see her.
Friends claim the ‘Toxic’ singer has attempted to commit suicide before.
A source said: ‘Britney held up two bottles of Tylenol and shouted ‘I’m doing this!’ Britney was terrified Kevin would get full custody of the children. She said she would kill herself if she lost her boys.’ Meanwhile, Britney’s mother Lynne has banned former lover Justin Timberlake from visiting the star in rehab.
A source told Britain’s Sunday Mirror newspaper: ‘Justin was distressed to learn about the state Britney was in. Lynne was touched by the gesture but begged him not to go. He promised to hook up with her at a later date.’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The Hollywood actress - who is to star as a 30s English aristocrat who inherits a cattle station in her new movie, ‘Australia’ - will be required to be hands-on with the livestock, including neutering young cattle.

The actress will star alongside Hugh Jackman, who plays a cattle baron and Nicole’s love interest.

Madonna turned heads when she turned up to a Kabbalah fancy dress party dressed as a 1920s flapper girl, escorted by a camp policeman.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The ‘Hung Up’ singer’s escort was in fact her director husband Guy Ritchie, who was wearing a tight police uniform complete with a 1970s-style moustache for the bash at the Los Angeles Kabbalah centre.
The party was held to celebrate the Jewish festival of Purim, which commemorates the foiling of an ancient plot to annihilate the Jews of the Persian Empire.
Madonna - who is a devout follower of Kabbalah, a mystical offshoot of Judaism - has caused outrage with her choice of outfit at the annual event in the past.
In 2005, the 48-year-old singer and her husband upset Catholic groups by dressing up as a nun and a priest for a Purim celebration in London.
William Donahue, president of the American Catholic League, insisted the couple should be beaten by a real life priest and nun for desecrating the scared attire.
He fumed at the time: ‘They’re trying to tweak Catholicism again by exploiting the Jewish holiday.
‘She needs to be beaten with a ruler by a real-life nun and he needs to paddled on his behind by a real-life priest.’ Madonna was raised a Catholic before she converted to Kabbalah later in life.

George Michael will be the first singer to perform at the new Wembley Stadium.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The 43-year-old star will play the opening concert on June 9 at the much-delayed 90,000 capacity super-venue as part of his European tour.
A source said: ‘George feels very honoured. It’s the venue that everybody wants to play.’ George played several memorable shows at the old Wembley Stadium, which was demolished in 2002.
He was part of the line-up for Live Aid in 1985, performed at Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday concert in 1998 and stole the show at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992.
It was also the venue for the final Wham! show, ‘The Finale’, which took place in 1986.
It was recently reported that George had asked former Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley to take part in a reunion show at the new stadium.
Rumours are rife that Andrew will join George on stage on June 9.
Tickets for George’s Wembley concert go on sale on Thursday (08.03.07).
Alex Horne, the managing director of Wembley Stadium, said: ‘I’m sure this will be a very hot ticket. We are looking forward to putting the stadium back on the world map as a major music destination.’

George Clooney wants to ‘adopt’ a 24-year-old girl.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

‘The Good German’ star has joked about starting a family and says he wants to ‘adopt’ a rich, beautiful young girl.
George told Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: ‘I’m going to adopt a good-looking 24-year-old girl with some cash.’ The 45-year-old recently revealed he plans to abandon his healthy lifestyle in favour of a pleasure binge.
He said: ‘I’m going to eat, drink and be merry. And screw what happens to my appearance while I do it!’ However, George gained more than 30 pounds to play an overweight, bearded CIA officer in 2005’s ‘Syriana’ and didn’t enjoy it at all.
He said: ‘There was nothing fun about it. There was not a moment that was fun about shooting this film. That’s not a slap on the film or the director Stephen Gaghan. It’s just that everybody has that year where you age a decade and this was that one for me.’

Angelina Jolie’s adoption of a Vietnamese boy contravenes the country’s laws.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The ‘Good Shepherd’ star filed papers with Vietnamese and US officials to become the child’s guardian as a single parent last week.
Under Vietnamese law single parents who are co-habiting cannot adopt.
International adoption official Tatiana Beams said: ‘This is a clear contradiction of Vietnamese law, and such situations would not be allowed for other couples.
‘Most co-habiting couples who try to adopt as a single parent are either turned away from agencies or face difficulties.’ The US department dealing with the matter insists it abides by Vietnamese rules when it comes to adopting from the country, but has not opposed Angelina’s action.
The 31-year-old star filed for adoption as a single parent, even though her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, has become the adoptive father of her five-year-old Cambodian son Maddox and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara.
The family, who also have a ten-month-old biological daughter Shiloh together, live together in New Orleans.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The actor, who turned down a role in the award-winning ‘Chicago’, admits he loves the dance routines in the film.
He said: ‘The choreography is great, you’re going to see gimmicky numbers. I do a whole Tina Turner dance thing. I enjoyed that and in the beginning, there’s a big, extravagant number.’

Beyoncé Knowles says losing weight for her ‘Dreamgirls’ role left her feeling ‘unsexy’.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:37 pm

The star, famous for her curves, shed 20lbs for the musical role on a liquid-only diet, but didn’t like the results.
Beyoncé said: ‘I’m a black woman and in our society hips and thighs are what is considered beautiful.
‘I’d go to radio stations and guys were like, ‘What’s happened with you? Where’s Beyoncé?’ ‘I would look in the mirror and not feel like a woman. I didn’t feel sexy.’ Although Beyoncé, 25, hated her svelte look, she was surprised by the amount of compliments she received.
The former Destiny’s Child singer - who is dating Jay-Z - said: ‘People in the fashion industry were like, ‘Oh my God, you look beautiful.’ But it’s more important to feel like me in my own skin and I didn’t feel like myself when I was thinner.
‘Plus, it’s heaps more fun to be able to eat pizza again!’

ROCKERS CAUSE A STINK WITH NEW ROTTING MEAT ALBUM

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:44 pm

Heavy rock group THE COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINERS are using the latest scratch-and-sniff technology to give their new album the whiff of rotting meat.
The US trio’s album, OLIDOUS OPERETTAS, will come with the aroma of decaying flesh.
Frontman MORTON FAIRBANKS explains, "It will be a scented-face CD, which essentially means it will be scratch-’n'-sniff-able… Our CD will smell like rotten meat." The singer admits his smelly idea was deemed more than a little unsavoury by many of the record labels he approached with a view to releasing the album.
He adds, "Most of the companies refused to work with me, but Sony has this technology that allows you to infuse scents into a CD, and they finally agreed to do one that smells like rotten meat… The album’s gonna stink." (KL/WN&RV/GES) WENN - SIXTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 05 MARCH 2007
