RUPERT GRINT, who plays RON WEASLEY in the fantasy franchise, tells British newspaper the News Of The World, "Emma doesn’t want to do it any more. She’s tired of being known as ‘that girl from Harry Potter’.

FBI: ‘MONROE WAS TRICKED INTO SUICIDE’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:17 pm

A secret FBI report on the death of MARILYN MONROE alleges the tragic star was tricked into killing herself by her associates - including former US attorney general, ROBERT KENNEDY.
Monroe, 36, was found lying naked, faced down on her bed at her Brentwood, California home on 5 August 1962. A coroner ruled the cause of death as ‘probable suicide’ by barbiturate poisoning, but many conspiracy theorists believe her rumoured affair with Kennedy had something to do with her unexpected death.
However, the newly-released FBI file - which was uncovered by Australian filmmaker PHILIPPE MORA - suggests the SOME LIKE IT HOT star was persuaded to make a suicide bid with the understanding that she would be rescued in time.
But the report speculates she was left to die in an elaborate plot which included her psychiatrist RALPH GREENSON, her housekeeper EUNICE MURRAY, her press secretary PAT NEWCOMB and actor PETER LAWFORD, who was married to Kennedy’s sister PATRICIA.
The document, which was given to the FBI in October 1964, alleges Lawford "knew from Marilyn’s friends that she often made suicide attempts" to gain sympathy. He is accused of making "special arrangements" with Greenson to provide Monroe with the means to commit a drugs overdose.
The report says, "Robert Kennedy made a telephone call to Peter Lawford to find out if Marilyn was dead yet.
"Marilyn expected to have her stomach pumped and get sympathy for her suicide attempt. The psychiatrist did not come to see her until after she was known to be dead." The file also alleges Monroe was silenced because she had threatened to reveal a "romance and sex affair" with Kennedy, whom she realised would never leave his wife ETHEL for her.

CATTERMOLE: ‘SPEARRITT CHEATED ON ME WITH CO-STAR’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:17 pm

Former S CLUB 7 singer PAUL CATTERMOLE has slammed his ex-girlfriend and former bandmate HANNAH SPEARRITT, for allegedly cheating on him with her latest co-star ANDREW-LEE POTTS.
Cattermole - who dated Spearritt when they were both members of the UK pop group - claims their longterm relationship collapsed after she won the part as zoologist ABBY MAITLAND in British sci-fi TV drama PRIMEVAL last year (06).
He says, "Within a couple of months our five-year relationship was over. I knew in my heart she was seeing Andrew.
"After being with somebody that length of time you have an amazing gut instinct." "The crunch came when I realised it had been a whole two weeks since we’d seen each other. She obviously didn’t want to be with me." Despite her betrayal, Cattermole holds no grudges against his former love.
He adds, "I don’t hate Hannah, I wish her happiness. I just feel sad that she couldn’t tell me about her and Andrew before publicly announcing it." Spearritt’s spokeswoman refused to address the allegations, saying, "Hannah does not wish to make any comment."

KID ROCK ESCAPES CHARGES OVER ALLEGED ASSAULT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:14 pm

LATEST: Rap/rocker KID ROCK will not be charged over his alleged assault of a woman in his native Michigan, due to lack of evidence.
A 28-year-old woman claimed the AMERICAN BAD ASS star shoved her as she attempted to leave a party at his house in Macomb County on 8 March (07).
However, prosecutors said the rocker, who recently divorced PAMELA ANDERSON, will not face charges because no sufficient evidence has been found to back up the woman’s allegations.
Oakland County Prosecutor DAVID GORCYCA says, "The reports are fraught with differing eyewitness accounts and without substantiating injuries there exists insufficient evidence to support a charge." Rock, real name ROBERT RITCHIE, said he is considering suing the woman for making the ‘false’ claims.
His lawyer MICHAEL NOVAK says, "These allegations were taken very seriously by Kid Rock and he’s not going to walk away.
"It’s just a complete, unfounded lie."
