Amy Winehouse wants to be a mum.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:39 pm

The ‘Rehab’ singer insists she can’t imagine a future in which she doesn’t have children.
Amy said: "Sometimes I think that in a parallel universe I wouldn’t be a musician at all. I’d be a mum.
"In fact, all my friends call me mum because I’m so maternal "At the moment I don’t look forward much because there doesn’t seem to be any point, but when I do, I imagine myself barefoot and pregnant somewhere. I’d really like that." The 23-year-old singer also insists she is completely different from her loud drunken stage persona and is really very shy.
She said: "The musical side of me is completely different to the rest of me. When I’m on stage I appear to be really ballsy and confident. In fact, I’m quite a shy person.
"Although I suppose my tattoos might make people think otherwise!"

The ‘X Factor’ runner-up is proud of his body and would be happy to bare all in a magazine.
He told Britain’s Star magazine: ‘If someone wants naked pictures of me, I’d be up for it. I’d even do full frontal - I’ve got nothing to hide in that department!’ His naked vow comes just months after ex-girlfriend Anna Barrett threatened to release nude photographs of the singer in revenge for him dumping her.
Anna, 28, was furious after Ben ditched her for 24-year-old Siobhan Hewlett, a family friend of Ben’s ‘X Factor’ mentor Sharon Osbourne. She hoped the pictures would ruin his chances of winning the TV talent show.
She said at the time: ‘He destroyed me. I hope these pictures destroy his dream of winning.’ Although the pictures never appeared, Ben insists he wouldn’t have been embarrassed by them.
He said: ‘The only thing that bothered me was that she might make money out of it.’

But Candy and her daughter reconciled after the birth of Liam.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:07 pm

Simon Cowell’s cutting insults ‘American Idol’ are scripted, it has been claimed. The show judge is famous for his cruel jibes to pop hopefuls, but a show insider has claimed that his recent "come out of the closet" comment to host Ryan Seacrest was written for him The source is quoted by website MSNBC as saying: "Most of these rifts have been outlined. Simon and Ryan are real good friends off-camera. When the show is on the road for auditions, the two go for drinks and dinner." It has been alleged that the show’s top producer picks who Cowell will fall out with between the other two judges, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, and host Ryan.
The source added: "The executive producer of the show, Nigel Lythgoe, watches the rehearsals and writes notes on who Simon should make nasty comments about. That’s what’s on the sheets of paper on the judging desk. Simon is not the evil guy you think he is. The truth is Ryan is just as focused on the show’s popularity as Simon. There’s no real drama. It’s all for the cameras!"

Britain’s Prince Charles will open a climate change exhibition in England on Friday (23.03.07).

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:02 pm

Britain’s Prince Charles will open a climate change exhibition in England on Friday (23.03.07). The exhibition in Woking is set to be continued in shopping centres across the UK, following discussion between Chancellor Gordon Brown and the country’s top shopping centre landlords in February. The exhibition, which is a joint venture by Business in the Community and BCSC and endorsed by the Climate Group, will feature display stands with information on issues like recycling, energy use, transport, waste reduction and food sources. Prince Charles - who won a top environment award in January - is a keen supporter of the initiative, aimed at making shoppers aware of how they can reduce their carbon footprints. Charles was awarded the Global Environmental Citizen Prize by Harvard Medical School’s Center for Health and the Global Environment in New York, for his ‘outstanding work towards protecting the environment’. However, the royal was later criticised and branded a ‘hypocrite’ for flying to the US to collect the award. Last year, Clarence House announced they were working on ways to reduce their carbon emissions. But Charles came under fire again when he and wife Camilla Duchess of Cornwall travelled by private jet for their ten-day tour of the Gulf last month.

A further preliminary hearing before the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales will take place today (21.03.07).

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:02 pm

Mohamed al Fayed’s legal team are expected to call for full access to the information used to compile the Metropolitan Police report into the crash which killed Diana and Al Fayed’s son Dodi.
A spokesman for the Harrods owner told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: ‘We will be asking for all the relevant documentation that exists. The lawyers will need access to everything that Lord Stephens had. It’s not just Charles’s interview or the correspondence with the Duke of Edinburgh, it’s other things to do with the forensics and the model that Scotland Yard used.’ The report concluded the car crash in a Paris tunnel which killed Diana and Dodi on August 31 1997 was an accident.
Operation Paget has spent three years investigating the deaths and collected thousands of pages of documentation. Mr Al Fayed’s representatives will demand access to witness statements gathered by the police.
Lawyers will attend the hearing at London’s High Court to discuss the issue of disclosure today (21.03.07). Baroness Butler-Sloss, who is presiding over the inquest, has also asked parties to submit their evidence, and their requests for what they would like the inquest to cover. It emerged at a hearing earlier this month the inquest will examine suggestions Diana was pregnant when she died, allegations that she feared for her life and the embalming of her body.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 10:01 pm

The prince met five-year-old Laura Blow at the International Down’s Syndrome Day function at Government House in Auckland, New Zealand.
Laura suffers from leukaemia as well as Down’s Syndrome, but took a break from her treatment to don a fancy tiara and dress for Prince Andrew’s visit. She then got the chance to present the prince with a painting made by one of her friends.
Her mother Hannah revealed Laura got very excited when her British-born father explained that a real life prince would be visiting.
Hannah said: ‘She said she was going to be a princess. It’s great to have Down’s Syndrome recognised by such a well known patron.’ Prince Andrew attended the event with Governor-General Anand Satyan, whose wife Susan was the day’s main organiser. He presented awards to children who had achieved great things despite their condition, and his appearance made little Laura’s day.
Hannah added: ‘Every week Laura has been jabbed and stuck. It was such a special memory for us to see her having an exciting day after she has been unwell.’ Andrew, who arrived in New Zealand last Wednesday (14.03.07), will be returning to the UK tomorrow (22.03.07).

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:30 pm

SCARLETT JOHANSSON insists she never dated JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, despite press reports that stated she came between the singer and fellow actress JESSICA BIEL.

She says, "We had fun together, but it’s not like the first time I’ve ever hung out with him.
"I think this (rumour) happens because we’re both single and in the spotlight, and obviously Justin’s a very high-profile person."

TIMBERLAKE REGRETS GRAMMY AWARDS TALENT SHOWCASE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:26 pm

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE regrets his Grammy Awards performance with a rejected AMERICAN IDOL singer, insisting event organisers took advantage of his "nice guy" attitude.
The SEXYBACK singer performed a medley of tunes with ROBYN TROUP, who won a TV contest called My Grammy Moment to land the chance to perform with Timberlake on music’s biggest stage last month (FEB07).
Timberlake tells men’s magazine Details he considered pulling out of the performance, but feared he’d left it too late.
So, even with a heavy cold that prompted him to withdraw from a pre-Grammy party performance, he agreed to go through with what he felt was a bad idea.
He says, "I’m the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to.
But I don’t know if I’ll be going through that sort of thing again.
"I feel like the Grammys used me for ratings."

HILTON DUMPS NIARCHOS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:26 pm

PARIS HILTON has ended her romance with Greek shipping heir STAVROS NIARCHOS after dating him on and off for more than a year.
The socialite singer and Niarchos have been an item for many years but they started getting serious about their relationship last year (06).
Niarchos joined his girlfriend for her birthday party in Las Vegas last month (FEB07) and Hilton left no doubt she was dating the Greek-born stud.
But now friends are telling America’s Life & Style magazine the romance is over because 26-year-old Hilton thinks her 21-year-old toyboy is "too insecure and immature".
The couple reportedly broke up for good at the weekend (19MAR07).
The split came two nights after Hilton was spotted kissing DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star JOSH HENDERSON at a house party she threw in Hollywood.
A loose-lipped guest tells the publication, "They kissed on the sofa like teenagers. They were so cute, and the chemistry between them was electric."

HUTTON RECRUITED BY GHOST HUNTERS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:24 pm

Actor TIMOTHY HUTTON was such a special child that a team of ghostbusters once used him as a conduit to the dead.
The BEAUTIFUL GIRLS star’s mother was fascinated with one husband-and-wife team of ghost hunters and took her young son to a lecture they hosted.
Throughout the bizarre event, the wife of the team couldn’t take her eyes of Hutton, who was eight at the time.
He recalls, "The whole time I was sitting there watching the woman, she was just staring at me non-stop.
"I tried to get as low as I could into my chair and she would just move her chair so she could see me. It was quite frightening.
"When the lecture was over she goes up to my mother and asks if she can speak with me. She asked me and my mother if I could come with them on the next ghost hunting thing. She thought I was a medium or something. She thought I was a conduit to the other world.
"I thought about it and ended up doing it. I did it a couple of times and I would just go in these houses and they would send me into the room and say, ‘Tim just walk around and if you feel something strange let us know.’ "So I’d walk around and say to them, ‘This is kind of strange. I think you should come here.’ After two times I said to my mother I didn’t want to do it anymore."
