Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:05 pm

Irish singer SINEAD O’CONNOR blames the "curse" of fame and her good looks for ruining her music career.
The outspoken Nothing Compares 2 U star, who has long voiced her dissatisfaction with the recording industry, believes celebrity and beauty are an explosive mix.
She says, "Fame and beauty together have proved to be a curse for me. Fame especially. It’s the reason I keep leaving the game. I find it painful, I really do.
"To be a good artist you need to be terrible sensitive. If you are sensitive than you’re not well-suited to the vileness of the music industry.
"If you don’t do what you’re told all the time, everyone treats you as a difficult f**king artist." (GES/NCM/IG) WENN - SECOND - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 9 JUNE 2007

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:05 pm

SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman COREY TAYLOR has fuelled speculation he is planning to join thrash metal rockers ANTHRAX, replacing Joey Belladonna.
Taylor, who already fronts two successful rock acts, has been in the studio helping the Deathrider performers record their forthcoming album and is seriously considering taking on the extra responsibility.
The 33-year-old tells German magazine Rock Hard, "Obviously, I’m really good friends with those guys. It kind of started as a joke. And then the more we talked about it, the more serious it got. I’m gonna at least help them out. "It’s kind of a dream come true, Anthrax is one of my favorite bands. "We’re just kind of taking baby steps right now. I know that we worked on about eight or nine songs together that I’ve written lyrics for.
"But there’s nothing definite right now. It’s one of those things where it’s like we’re just gonna kind of play it by ear and just see what happens. I’m in two huge bands right now. So it’s like I barely get enough time to sleep, let alone do another band. "I’m just kind of honored that they would even consider me. These are people that I grew up listening to, these are guys that I had the privilege of getting to know on a real basis. "To have them look at me and go, ‘You know what? We would love to work with you,’ it’s such a huge compliment. It kind of makes me feel like I’ve come a long way in my life."

MORRISSEY WOWS HOLLYWOOD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:02 pm

British rock star MORRISSEY returned to the Hollywood Bowl last night (08Jun07) for the first time in 15 years and was almost floored by a succession of stage invaders.
Ten fans beat security measures and scrambled onto the Bowl stage - to hug, kiss and manhandle the former The Smiths star, who has become an unlikely cult figure in Los Angeles, thanks mainly to a huge Latin fanbase.
The sold out Hollywood show was filmed for an upcoming concert movie DVD, but Morrissey didn’t let his over-eager, stage-invading fans ruin the evening, often chuckling as they found clever ways to get as close to their hero as possible.
The Brit, who called himself "an old harpsichord that nobody ever plays" during the show, performed a string of new tunes, as well as solo classics such as Everyday Is Like Sunday and First Of The Gang To Die and Smiths favourites How Soon Is Now, Girlfriend In A Coma and The Boy With A Thorn In His Side.
He ended the two-encore show by ripping off his shirt for a second time following a stirring performance of Smiths classic There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
And the spectacle of a filled Hollywood Bowl wasn’t lost on the singer, who announced his gratitude to fans who had stuck by him since his last show there.
Prior to his arrival on stage, Morrissey treated fans to a slideshow of his heroes and heroines in action - with vintage and rare footage of the New York Dolls, Brigitte Bardot, Alan Bates and James Dean in action beamed onto a large screen. The James Dean footage was from a silent wardrobe fitting sequence from the tragic actor’s East of Eden movie.

DRUMMER’S INJURY DEVASTATED MAROON 5

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 4:11 am

MAROON 5 rocker ADAM LEVINE was devastated when original drummer RYAN DUSICK was forced to leave the band due to an arm injury last year (06), calling the decision "the most difficult" he has had to face.
Dusick suffered irreparable arm damage to his right arm in 2004 and spent two years touring with the band watching his eventual replacement Matt Flynn fill in for him.
Levine says, "It was the most difficult thing. He was our brother. We played music in his garage.
"Me, Mickey (Madden, bassist), Ryan and Jesse (Carmichael, keyboardist) would sleep on his bedroom floor and dream about how we were going to be the biggest band in the world someday."

IGLESIAS BLAMES HIMSELF FOR NOT SEEING DAD JULIO

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 4:08 am

Pop star ENRIQUE IGLESIAS blames himself for not keeping in touch with his singing legend father JULIO, but insists reports the pair don’t get along are false.
The 32-year-old has not seen his dad since his grandfather died in 2005 and has yet to met his step-brother Guillermo, mothered by Miranda Rijnsburger, Julio’s girlfriend of 17 years.
Enrique says, "It’s probably my fault because I left home at 19 and in a way, I never turned back.
"My dad is pretty much a control freak. And I feel like I was probably the first thing in his life he couldn’t control.
"For a lot of people, it’s difficult to understand. But my dad and I really get along. When we see each other we laugh. We speak sometimes - it’s hard because he is travelling all the time."
