DIAZ’S FASHION FAUX-PAS OFFENDS COUNTRY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:11 pm

Movie star CAMERON DIAZ has been left red-faced during her visit to Peru - her bag carried a offensive slogan to the country.
The Shrek actress was visiting the Inca city of Machu Picchu yesterday carrying an olive green bag with a red star and the words "Serve the People" written in Chinese.
In Peru the saying is a reminder of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency which brought the country to chaos in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, with almost 70,000 people dying during the massacres and bombings.
Pablo Rojas, a prominent human rights activist in Peru says, "It alludes to a concept that did so much damage to Peru, that brought about so many victims. I don’t think she should have used that bag where the followers of that ideology did so much damage."

FOX REGRETS STONER TATTOO

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:08 pm

Actress MEGAN FOX regrets asking a stoned tattooist to craft a tribal design on her arm - because it turned into nothing but a messy mark.
Fox is now taking steps to get the tattoo removed and insists she’ll take more care when she picks skin artists in the future.
The Confessions of A Teenage Drama Queen star says, "The guy was smoking weed while he tattooed me and he didn’t do it correctly.
"Now it’s nothing and I’m gonna get it removed. I was told he was a really amazing tattoo artist but he wasn’t on his game that night. He was distracted." Fox had better luck with her first tattoo - an image of her heroine Marilyn Monroe: "She was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born.
"Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn’t know why when I was younger but had my own theories. I’ve just always empathised with her."

WASHINGTON: ‘KNIGHT WAS JEALOUS OF MY SUCCESS’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:08 pm

Shamed ex-GREY’S ANATOMY star ISAIAH WASHINGTON insists T.R.KNIGHT wanted him and co-star PATRICK DEMPSEY off the show because of they were getting better storylines.
The actor was fired from the medical drama earlier this month (Jun07) in the wake of a homophobic remark he made about castmate Knight last October (06) - a comment he repeated at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year (07).
However, Washington claims Knight turned the remark into a major controversy because he was jealous of the storylines he was getting.
He says, "T.R. Knight was very tactical in trying to remove me from the show because he knows that I know, and I was gagged, that he has been working on a conspiracy to get Patrick Dempsey and myself off the show for the last year and a half.
"I know Patrick Dempsey has supported me by stating that if there is anyone that needs to be fired it is T.R. Knight because he has created such a negative environment on that set because he felt like he has not been treated and given the same leading man kinds of story lines."

GATES SCARED OF ROCK FANS RESPONSE

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

British popstar GARETH GATES is scared he’ll face a hostile response when he plays at a U.K. rock festival later today.
The singer is playing London’s Hyde Park Calling festival today, and will share a stage with Aerosmith, metal band Your Code Name Is: Milo and rockers Under The Influence Of Giants at the weekend long event.
And he fears rock fans won’t be very appreciative towards him.
He says: "I’m pretty nervous. I’m not expecting Aerosmith’s fans to take to me straight away. I’m going to have to work pretty hard to win them over. I’m going to do some classic rock covers. I’ve been practising Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. "I know it’s going to be hard, but it’s a challenge I want to take. People have preconceptions of me that I want to change."

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

The folk star performed during yesterday’s musical event in England wearing a black striped shirt and a red striped jacket. Wainwright used his unusual clothing to convey what he thinks about America.
He said: "We’re (his band) all wearing stripes and brooches tonight. We’re from America so it’s supposed to represent the stars and stripes. Some of us are wearing pretty stripes and that’s good, but the black stripes represent all that is bad in the USA."

Rest in peace

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:58 pm

A German teenager in intensive care unplugged another patient’s life support machine because the noise was keeping him awake.
Frederik Moelner - who was recovering from a car crash - said the apparatus keeping 76-year-old Hermann Berghof alive was preventing him from getting any sleep.
A police spokesman said: "The 17-year-old told us the noise was getting on his nerves and he thought this was the best way to make sure he got peace and quiet.
"Luckily the medical staff acted promptly and reconnected the life support machine. If there had been any delay the old man could have died."

Scoot-away scuppered

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:58 pm

Two French bank robbers hoped to steal millions using scooters as getaway vehicles.
The crooks targeted the Credit Lyonnais branch in Rungis, near Paris, but their plan was scuppered by quick-thinking staff.
One worker managed to escape during the raid and called police who surrounded the building.
The dumb duo then let three more members of staff go, telling them not to give police any information.
The foolish pair - both in their 20s - were easily captured by an elite squad as they fled using their less-than-speedy means of transport.
One officer said: "They weren’t the most professional bank robbers we’ve ever been up against.
"Their chances of successfully getting away with the raid were probably zero."

Bust pipe

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:58 pm

A bra and a pair of knickers have been blamed for a flood and road collapse in a UK town.
The offending lingerie was flushed down a toilet, causing a blocked sewer in Middleton-St-George, County Durham.
Heavy rainfall and a build up of grease and fat caused the pipe to burst and the road above to collapse.
A spokeswoman for Northumbrian water said: "If the underwear had not been flushed down the toilet, this would not have happened. It was very irresponsible behaviour.
"We found a bra and knickers had snagged itself across the nine-inch diameter of the pipe.
"These pipes are not designed to carry bras and knickers." The spokesman added it would be impossible to trace the owner of the underwear, saying "Unfortunately no-one wants to even touch the offending items."

Heavy metal handicap

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:58 pm

A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical taste officially classified as a disability.
Roger Tullgren will receive state benefits to supplement his income after psychological analysis confirmed heavy metal dominates his life.
The 42-year-old said: "I have been trying for 10 years to get this classified as a handicap.
"Some might say that I should grow up and learn to listen to other types of music but I can’t. Heavy metal is my lifestyle." The ageing rocker - who has long black hair, a collection of tattoos and wears skull and crossbones jewellery - claims to have attended almost three hundred shows in the last year, often skipping work in the process.
He has just started working as a part-time dishwasher at a local restaurant where his new boss allows him to play loud music at work.
