MEL B BAFFLED BY ‘OTHER MEN’ CLAIMS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:46 pm

Former Spice Girl MELANIE BROWN was baffled by ex-boyfriend EDDIE MURPHY’s suspicions she cheated on him during their six month relationship.
Murphy and Brown ended their six month relationship in early December (06) after the Dreamgirls actor appeared on Dutch TV show RTL Boulevard doubting the paternity of the singer’s then-unborn child.
He snapped at the TV host, "I don’t know whose child that is, until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions." Reports claimed Murphy hired private detectives to investigate Brown’s private life and relationship with her male companions.
Brown is appealing to Murphy to acknowledge he is the father of three week old Angel Iris Murphy Brown.
She tells British magazine OK!, "I have friends who are men and most of them are gay. Other relationships were a no-go.
"I have no doubt this is Eddie’s baby."

Brown, who gave birth to who she claims is Murphy’s daughter Angel Iris on 3 April (07), asks, "Is that relationship real? "When a person acts like that, which is out of character, it’s all very odd.
It’s hurtful and undignified.
"I wouldn’t act like that, not to somebody who I’ve been telling that I love every day. We had an amazing connection."

HAWKE SLAMS YOUNG STARS FOR WANTING CELEBRITY STATUS

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

Movie actor ETHAN HAWKE is "disgusted" with the effort young stars go to in a bid to get famous.
The acclaimed actor misses the way artists used to refuse to do interviews and be respected for it, and can’t understand today’s celebrity culture.
The Dead Poets Society star says, "I started at the tail end of when it was so uncool to want to be ambitious. Then you wanted celebrity just to happen to you, because you were such a great artist.
"Now I meet all these young people and they’re just all so interested in being on the cover of magazines and, like, getting ad campaigns. It’s revolting." (KD/WNBINS/

SOAP ACTRESS QUITS OVER EMMY VOTING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:37 pm

American actress VICTORIA ROWELL is so furious about the Emmy award voting process that she has quit popular US soap THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS.
The former model - who played Drucilla Winters on the show and is notably absent from this year’s American TV award list - has blasted the nomination process, which she brands "unfair" because it requires fellow actors, rather than independent judges, to nominate their favourite candidates.
Rowell attributes nomination to "who’s buying coffee for the cast, who’s doing the political campaign throughout the year rather than who’s doing the work on the stage".
She adds, "Actors on both coasts have tried to appeal this backward system of voting, but without success."

SUM 41: ‘NEW ALBUM IS NOT POLITICAL’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:37 pm

SUM 41 frontman DERYCK WHIBLEY has played down suggestions their forthcoming album is political - despite a new single about the death of the President of the USA.
The Canadian rockers’s new song March of the Dogs contains the lyrics: "Ladies and gentlemen of the underclass/ The president of the United States of America is dead..
. And now the president’s dead/ Because they blew off his head/ No more neck to be red/I guess to heaven he fled." But despite the explosive subject, Whibley claims the new record Underclass Hero is not controversial.
He says, "Lyrically it’s one of the more political songs that are on the album…I wanted to let you all know that this will not be a political record." (MEH/WNWCNM/ES) WENN - FIFTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 24 APRIL 2007

Britain’s Prince Charles visited Liverpool on St George’s Day yesterday (23.04.07), marking the city’s 800th anniversary.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 pm

Charles arrived at the city by royal train, and walked to the newly restored St George’s Hall where he met with notable local figures and members of the public. After meeting Royal Patron of the Hall, the Duke of Gloucester, the prince was reunited with restoration project manager Dave Lacey, who had showed Charles the building 20 years ago when it was in desperate need of repair. The prince was delighted with the work, saying the hall had been ’splendidly restored’. Charles was bestowed with an Honorary Fellowship by Liverpool John Moores University before delivering a keynote speech at the Roscoe Lecture in which he urged the audience to live in harmony with the environment. Eco-friendly Charles said: ‘I believe that true ’sustainability’, to use a now common word, depends fundamentally upon us shifting our perception and widening our focus, so that we understand, again, that we have a sacred - yes, a sacred - duty of stewardship of the natural order of things.’ The prince stressed that society needs to ‘rediscover a sense of harmony with nature’. He added: ‘We are in danger of being like the analogy of the poor frog. Had he been thrown into a pot of boiling water he would have jumped straight out again.
‘But he was put into a pot of lukewarm water and the heat was only slowly increased so that, without noticing it, he slowly boiled to death.’ Charles’ speech was followed by a private reception before he was invited to unveil a plaque to mark the re-opening of the iconic building.
The prince spent the rest of his day meeting with school children and various local community groups - representing Liverpool’s vast cultural diversity.
The visit ended with a special thanksgiving service at Liverpool Cathedral.

A secret royal marriage deal was the real reason behind Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton’s split, it has been reported.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 pm

The couple allegedly reassessed their relationship when they discovered their future was being decided for them, with their engagement talked about as a ‘done deal’.
According to reports, Queen Elizabeth was keen for the pair to wed, as it would help improve the public face of the royal family.
A royal source told Britain’s Grazia magazine: ‘It was felt in royal circles that the time had come for the couple to get engaged and that it should be announced immediately after the Diana Memorial Concert in July, so the family could capitalise on the goodwill.’ Kate was said to have felt very ‘uncomfortable’ with the way William’s family were getting involved with her love life.
The source added: ‘It must have given Kate a glimpse of what her future would hold if she became a member of the royal family and had to abide by its protocol.
‘She told William she was incredibly uncomfortable about the way the whole thing was being decided for them.’ William also had second thoughts when his grandmother the queen made it clear she would not tolerate another divorce - like between William’s father Prince Charles and mother the late Princess Diana.
Another source revealed: ‘The queen was adamant that if he wasn’t sure about a future with Kate, he had to get out.
‘She made it abundantly clear that she would not tolerate another divorce in the family. Both the queen and Prince Philip told William they did not want another ‘Diana situation’ - so if he wasn’t sure, then he had no choice but to end it.’ William and Kate - who had been dating for four years - officially announced their separation just over a week ago.

Britain’s Princess Diana married Prince Charles out of a desire to become famous, it has been claimed.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 pm

A new unauthorised biography - ‘The Diana Chronicles’ by Tina Brown - alleges the princess pursued the prince despite warnings from her mother that she should marry for love, not status.
Brown - a former editor of The New Yorker and Vanity Fair - has reportedly received a $2 million advance for the book - which reportedly portrays Diana as scheming and ambitious.
Brown wrote an article 20 years ago entitled ‘The Mouse That Roared’ revealing a dark side to Charles’ and Diana’s marriage.
She has spent years on the new book, speaking to 250 sources, some of whom had never talked about Diana in public before.
Brown opens the book with an anecdote recalling a lunch meeting she had with the late princess in the summer of 1997 at the Four Seasons restaurant at which Diana talked about moving to the US. She died in the same year in a Paris car crash on August 31 1997.
Other revelations in Brown’s book - of which extracts have been printed in US Vanity Fair this week - include an allegation that the princess spent two nights with Charles on the royal train, before the were married.
Diana denied these trysts, but Brown claims a royal protection officer was the unimpeachable source of the report.
The book also claims Prince Charles was never unfaithful to Diana until her eating disorders and neurotic behaviour drove him back into the arms of Camilla Parker Bowles - his now wife.
Brown also alleges Parker Bowles’ true love was not Prince Charles, but her first husband, Andrew, who she alleges was a serial philanderer.

Denmark’s Prince Frederik and Princess Mary’s newborn daughter made her first public appearance on Monday (23.04.07).

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 pm

The country’s newest royal, who was born two weeks early on Saturday (21.04.07), was carried in her mother’s arms to greet a crowd of 2,000 well-wishers outside Copenhagen University Hospital. Prince Frederik carried the infant’s older brother, Christian, who was born at the same hospital in October 2005. His baby sister was wrapped in the same shawl he was when he was taken home for the first time. Princess Mary looked the picture of health and elegant as ever as she beamed proudly. Mary is quoted on the Hello! website as saying: ‘I think it went really well. It was a little easier this time, although you shouldn’t use a word like easy for a delivery.’ The 35-year-old added that Christian was ‘enthusiastic to see his new sister and showed a bit of brotherly love’.
The name of the newborn princess - who is third in line to the Danish thrown - is not expected to be revealed until her christening ceremony, in keeping with the region’s tradition.
Last month, 18-month-old Christian became the first Danish royal to attend a public nursery. Australian-born Mary and her royal husband are keen to give their children as ‘normal’ an upbringing as possible, and choose to be hands-on parents rather than hiring full-time nannies.

Britain’s Prince Charles plans to open an eco-friendly bed and breakfast in Wales.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 pm

The prince and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, have applied for planning permission to open up Llwynywormwood, their Carmarthenshire farmhouse, to paying guests. The couples’ idyllic three-bedroom home - which is surrounded by 192-acres of countryside - has already been dubbed ‘C and C’s B and B’ after becoming a favourite retreat for Charles and Camilla.
Architect Craig Hamilton has designed the plans, which include a new bathroom extension and the conversion of an adjoining farm building into reception and dining room.
The plans, submitted to Carmarthenshire County Council, also feature designs for furniture made from oak and fir trees from the prince’s forests.
Charles also hopes to fill the estate’s lake from a near-by stream in order to generate hydro-electric power.
A spokeswoman for Clarence House said: ‘The application outlines plans for minor refurbishment to be carried out on the existing farm house. ‘Some conversion work is planned to the north range to create business meeting facilities and to enable the three-bedroom cottage to be let as part of the Duchy of Cornwall holiday cottage portfolio. ‘Additionally the west range will be re-built, following the historical footprint of the structure, to provide further living accommodation.’ The prince bought Llwynywormwood Estate through his Duchy of Cornwall estate in March this year for a reputed £1.2 million. Overlooking an 18th Century county park, the farmstead includes 40 acres of woodland, a walled garden and the remains of a lake.
It is hoped the farm will serve as a venue for the various charities associated with the prince, such as The Prince’s Trust.
Charles and Camilla still intend to use the farmhouse as a base when they are visiting Wales.
