Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:40 pm

The actress has told her ‘Premonition’ co-star Julian McMahon she would love to cameo on his hit plastic surgery drama as long as a real nip and tuck is thrown in.
Pointing to her breasts, Sandra, 42, said: "I told Julian that I would like to guest on the last ever ‘Nip/Tuck’ and have a complete overhaul starting with these. It would be a lot of fun and hopefully I’d get it for free." Meanwhile, the ‘Miss Congeniality’ star has revealed she loves being a stepmother to her husband Jesse James’ children.
Sandra said: ‘I have children, amazing children. My love and my hopes for their future and their happiness, for their homework to be done and for them to know how smart and beautiful they are is no less than if they were my own biological children.
‘I have my family, and it’s the family that some higher power put in my path. I feel really lucky.’ Jesse and Sandra live together in California just minutes away from his first wife Karla and their children Chandler, 12, and nine-year-old Jesse Jr.
The motorcycle tycoon’s second wife, Janine, also lives close-by with his three-year-old daughter Sunny.

Tori Spelling says “motherhood rocks!”

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:39 pm

The former ‘Beverly Hills 90210′ gave birth to her first child, son Liam, last week and insists the last few days have been ‘the most amazing experience" of her life.
Tori, 33, wrote on her MySpace page: "We are finally out of the hospital and spent our first day at home with little Liam.
"It’s been the most amazing week and experience of my life. We feel so blessed. Liam, as many of you know, was born Tuesday, March 13. He weighed 6lbs 6oz and is 19.5 inches long.
"And, I might be a biased mommy, but he is so beautiful. I just stare at him in amazement. I can’t believe I have been given this unbelievable little gift. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He is my little angel baby and I had no idea you could love someone you’ve only known for four days this much. But, my heart is jumping out of my chest with love. "Mommihood ROCKS! "Every mommy out there I have such a newfound respect for you!" Tori – whose new show ‘Tori and Dean: Inn Love’, which focuses on Tori and husband Dean McDermott running a bed and breakfast together, airs today (20.03.07) – is also thrilled that her bundle of joy has built bridges between her and her mother Candy Spelling.
The pair fell out after millionaire TV producer Aaron Spelling, Tori’s late father and Candy’s deceased husband, left his daughter a derisory amount in his will.

Nicole Richie has allegedly collapsed on the set of ‘The Simple Life’ for the second time.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:39 pm

The star– who was briefly hospitalised for dehydration after collapsing on set on March 2 – is reported to have collapsed again at around 4pm on Wednesday (14.03.07) on location in Malibu.
A source told the New York Daily News: ‘She was taken to her trailer immediately. But she came around, so the crew didn’t call an ambulance. She spent the rest of the day in her trailer and left Paris to complete the day’s filming.’ Nicole, 25, is also said to have had trouble ‘walking and speaking clearly’ while filming the fifth series of her reality show with close friend Paris Hilton.
Series co-creator Jon Murray said: ‘There were a couple times when Nicole felt a little woozy and she sat down for a moment, but we continued within five to ten minutes.
‘She had a dehydration thing earlier in filming, but she’s been doing much better since then.’ Former heroin addict Nicole, the adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, has sought nutritional advice after experiencing dramatic weight loss.
She is also currently facing charges of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) after she was stopped by police in December for driving the wrong way on a California Highway. She admitted to police she had smoked marijuana and taken the strong painkiller Vicodin.
For the latest series of ‘The Simple Life’ she and Paris, 26, are acting as camp counsellors.

The Who singer Roger Daltrey has been struck down by a virus, sparking fears the band will have to cancel their tour.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:39 pm

The Who singer Roger Daltrey has been struck down by a virus, sparking fears the band will have to cancel their tour. The 63-year-old rocker is being treated in hospital for a viral infection and dehydration, just days after he walked off stage during a Florida concert with suspected bronchitis. Roger’s bandmate Pete Townsend said: "It has been established that Roger had alarmingly low sodium levels, leading to problematic dehydration. He has also contracted a viral infection. "It was recommended he go into hospital and go on a drip for a few days to set him right. A doctor from the UK advised caution and suggested Roger simply try resting before going into hospital. He is taking some medication." After the Florida show was cut short, Pete told the 9,000-strong crowd it would be rescheduled for March 25. However, the band have now had to cancel further dates, including a concert in San Antonio scheduled for tonight (20.03.07), and Pete fears the tour is over.
He said: "Out manager Bill Curbishley, with my full support, cancelled the next show in San Antonio. A decision will be made on the rest of the shows on this leg of the tour. I am distraught about this, as I have waited so long to play in Mexico."

Prince William’s rugby snub.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:14 pm

Britain’s Prince William has disappointed Welsh rugby fans by snubbing their match against England on Saturday (17.03.07), it has been reported. The royal - who was appointed vice-patron of the Welsh Rugby Union last summer and took up the post just weeks ago – chose to stay away from the crucial six nations game insisting he was “too tired”. William was later spotted at the Cheltenham horse races with friends. A Clarence House spokeswoman insisted William’s lack of attendance was due to the 24-year-old royal being wanting to “recharge his batteries” after undergoing military training at Sandhurst barracks. A source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “The fact that William found the energy to enjoy himself at the races but not to watch one of Wales’s biggest games hasn’t impressed. He didn’t even send the Welsh boys a good luck note before the match, which is being seen as a diplomatic faux pas.” According to reports last week, the decision to stay away was a diplomatic gesture – as the prince has openly admitted in the past to being a “die-hard” England supporter. As vice-patron for Welsh rugby, his loyalties would have been torn by attending the match.

Prince Diana’s bomb victory.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:14 pm

The cluster bomb – which Britain’s late Prince Diana campaigned against so passionately – is to be outlawed.
The Princess of Wales fought for the deadly unguided cluster bomb to be banned because of its history of killing children caught up in war zones.
Today (20.03.07), the Britsh government have announced the cluster bomb is to be scrapped with immediate effect.
Since Diana’s death in 1997, the charity set up in her name - the Diana, princess of Wales Memorial Fund - has continued her crusade and today is seen as a victory to her memory.
The ban is one of the rare occasions in which a military decision has been made for political reasons.
Defence Secretary Des Browne says that his decision was taken on humanitarian grounds.
Cluster bombs work by scattering hundreds of mini-bombs over a wide area. Many fail to detonate and pose a lethal threat to civilians, particularly children.
Young people playing in war zones where the deadly weapon has been used have lost limbs or their lives, often years after the conflicts have ended.
The princess travelled to these countries to visit the victims of unexploded cluster bombs and campaigned to help them, and ban the use of the bombs.
As of today British military commanders will no longer be able to drop cluster bombs in conflict areas.

Prince Philip’s brief unveiling.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:14 pm

Britain’s Duke of Edinburgh disappointed onlookers by spending just three minutes unveiling a new road sign yesterday (19.03.07).
Prince Philip arrived at the Rotary Club of Windsor event - which is just a five minute drive from Windsor Castle - without saying a word.
He left his chauffeur-driven car and approached the new sign, before removing the white cloth and promptly returning to the vehicle.
The duke has been a senior honorary member of the Windsor Rotary Club for 50 years. Many of the royal fans who had turned out to catch a glimpse of Philip were left disappointed by his brief appearance.
One said: “We were waiting here for ages and hoped to speak to the duke. I was surprised that he left as soon as he had unveiled the new sign.” Spokesman for the club, David Shaw, insisted: “It was an honour for him to unveil the sign.” The club have spent £9,000 on six cast iron signs welcoming guests to Windsor, to celebrate the Rotary Club’s centenary.
This isn’t the first time an unveiling ceremony by Britain’s royal family has sparked controversy.
In 1960, Prince Margaret was left red-faced after she tried to unveil a statue dedicated to St Boniface in Devon, England, but the curtain refused to fall.
In the 80s, Princess Michael of Kent was criticised for opening a Happy Eater restaurant, after saying she would “go anywhere for a hot meal”.
Queen Elizabeth faced rows of empty seats in 1994 when Barbadian politicians boycotted the opening of a tourism training centre.

Prince Harry’s party plan.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:14 pm

Britain’s Prince Harry is to have a huge party before he goes to Iraq – so he can say goodbye to his friends and family in style.
The 22-year-old prince leaves for six months of service in Iraq in May and wants one last big night out to say goodbye to friends.
Harry has sent out invitations - which feature a mocked-up photo of him in a white turban, riding a camel against a map of Iraq – for the bash at London’s Mahiki nightclub, where the 100 guests will enjoy a night of “exotic cocktails, supper and dancing.” Harry’s close friend Guy Pelly is helping organise the bash, and guess will include Harry’s girlfriend Chelsy Davy, his brother Prince William and his partner Kate Middleton.
Mihiki owner Piers Adam said: “It’s meant to be kitsch, a place to be silly and have fun. You drink cocktails out of water-melons and dance to Wham and INXS – but definitely no R&B.” The Polynesian-themed club is a favourite of Harry and William and they recently spent £11,050 in six hours with a group of friends.

Queen Elizabeth’s soldier tribute.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:13 pm

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has paid tribute to a British soldier killed in Afghanistan, who was the son of one of her gardener’s.
The monarch sent a personal message of support to Windsor Castle employee Phil Reddy, whose 22-year-old son Ben was killed fighting for his country.
She also sent husband Prince Philip to pass on her condolences at the funeral, which took place at All Saint’s Chapel in Windsor Great Park, where the Queen Mother was buried.
Sources close to the queen also say she was particularly saddened by Ben’s death because he was the same age as grandson Harry, who will leave Britain in May to fight in Iraq for six months.
A source said: “She was upset to hear that the son of one of her staff had been killed in action.
“But the impact of Ben’s death was brought home by the fact that Prince Harry is weeks away from heading to the front line and they are just both 22.” Royal Marine Reddy of K Company, 42 Commando, was killed by Taliban fighters in Helmand province two weeks ago.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:50 pm

Naomi Campbell turned up to her cleaning job wearing designer stiletto ankle boots yesterday (19.03.07). The supermodel - who has been ordered to scrub floors as part of her community service sentence for assaulting her maid – strolled into the New York Department of Sanitation sporting the £650 Christian Laboutin boots, tailored black coat and matching designer hat. The catwalk beauty promptly changed into a pair of tattered workmen’s boots, dingy overalls and fluorescent vest. She was warned she may be forced to scrub filthy toilets if she didn’t pull her weight during the community service.
Sanitation Department spokesman Albert Durrell said: "Miss Campbell arrived on time. She worked with three others, talking and interacting fine. We have plenty of work for her over the next five days. "She will be cleaning, sweeping, mopping floors and cleaning windows. If she does not do a good job, she will clean dirty toilets." Naomi was also warned if she refused to do any of the tasks, she would be sent back to court. The glamorous 36-year-old’s shift started at 8am and finished at 4pm. Despite her unfashionable work attire Naomi still managed to carry out her tasks in full make-up. Naomi had begged the judge to let her do charity work, after admitting attacking her maid Ana Scolavino, 38, in a fit of anger over a lost pair of jeans.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:49 pm

Anna Nicole Smith’s secret diaries could jeopardise her claim to her late husband’s estate.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 4:18 pm

Anna Nicole - who died last month aged just 39 – writes about a series of lovers she had before she married billionaire J. Howard Marshall in 1994.
The two explosive diaries, which are being auctioned on internet website eBay for up to $1 million each, are set to question Anna Nicole’s entitlement to her late husband’s estate.
Anna Nicole, who met the oil tycoon in a Houston strip club in 1991, was terrified about telling a lover she could be pregnant in 1992 - and considered having an abortion. She said: ‘He will only support me if I have it. But if I decide to go the other way he won’t. I’ll be on my own. I think that’s tacky. I’m scared.’ One entry shows her irritation with Marshall for calling her "20 times a day" when they first started dating.
However, Anna Nicole does show a softer side to her relationship with 89-year-old Marshall in the second diary, often proclaiming her love for her husband.
She wrote: "My husband is very sick. I want every hour to comfort him." The diary shows her dedication to Marshall, revealing how she fed him and cared for him. She also vents her frustration at Marshall’s son for cutting off her money.
The second journal, which begins in 1994, ends on the day Marshall died in 1995.
The former model also reveals she hated sex.
She said: "I hate for men to want sex all the time. I hate sex!" The diaries - along with her book of business contacts and driving license - are being sold by a former neighbour who kept them after he saw Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur, throwing them out.
Following Anna Nicole’s death, the dispute for the Marshall estate will be carried on in the name of her six-month-old daughter Dannielynn.

The Hollywood legend has been visiting the dying patients at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, and cheering them up with card games and stories of his film career.
A hospital source said: "He jokes, plays cards and treats patients like long-lost friends.

However, Jack became so touched and moved by the patients he has carried on his visits despite finishing filming.
Hospital workers say his visits raise the patients’ spirits immensely and they look forward to seeing him.
But Jack, 69, finds it hard to leave the hospital because he worries who will still be alive when he next visits.
The source added: "He feels terrible leaving, knowing he’s maybe seen some of them for the last time.’

Jude Law and Sadie Frost reportedly had a blazing row on Mothering Sunday – because Sadie had been out with her latest toyboy the night before.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 4:17 pm

The Hollywood actor and his ex-wife had agreed to spend the special day together for the sake of their three children, Rafferty, Iris and Rudy, as well as Sadie’s son Finlay, from her first marriage.
However, when Jude turned up early Sunday morning (18.03.07), he was said to be furious when he realised Sadie, 41, was still suffering from her antics the night before with current love, Kristian, 23.
Neighbours in London’s exclusive Primrose Hill claim Jude hit the roof as he felt his former spouse had ruined the special day they had planned.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "Sadie thought he was being unfair. It’s the first time she’s been out in ages." Jude – who recently denied claims he is romancing Lindsay Lohan - and Sadie divorced in 2003, after six years of marriage.
Despite a messy break-up, the couple decided to put their differences behind them in order to make the split easier for their children.
