Lindsay Lohan had been drinking and had cocaine in her system when she crashed her car last month.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The ‘Mean Girls’ star was found to be twice over the California drink-drive limit and had traces of cocaine in her bloodstream at the time of the crash in Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard on May 26, according to a toxicology report.
Police could now present the new evidence to the Los Angeles District Attorney.
The police report filed at the time of the crash noted a "usable amount" of cocaine in Lohan’s Mercedes Benz and the actress was later arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The 20-year-old star, who is not yet old enough to legally drink in the US, fled the scene and was later taken to hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Police officers then arrested her a few days later.
Soon after the incident, Lohan checked into rehab at Malibu’s Promises Centre, where she recently opted for an extended care programme.
Lohan’s lawyer Blair Berk said: ‘It’s highly inappropriate for me to discuss a pending case. It is extremely unprofessional for law enforcement to do it.’

Tony Parker ‘doesn’t care’ where he marries Eva Longoria.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The basketball star, who is set to wed the ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress in France on July 7, admits he doesn’t know much about the details of the upcoming nuptials.
Tony said: "I don’t care where I’m going to get married. It’s a girl’s thing. That’s a question you should ask Eva." The San Antonio Spurs star also laughed off reports they are having their wedding cake flown in from the US.
Tony said: "Why take a cake from the United States if it is France that makes the best cakes?" The French-born athlete revealed Eva chose the wedding venue - reported to be romantic castle Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte just outside Paris - and he was responsible for selecting the food and music.
It has believed Tony - who was voted the NBA league’s most valuable player earlier this month - is planning to surprise his new wife by booking her favourite singers Lionel Richie and Jamie Foxx to perform at the ceremony.
Eva’s ‘Desperate Housewives’ co-stars - Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Nicollette Sheridan - are expected to attend the nuptials, along with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The castle, just outside Paris, will close its grounds to the public for the first time ever and more than 2,000 candles will be lit throughout the estate as darkness falls.
A fountain show in the gardens is also planned.
Eva is due to begin filming the new series of ‘Desperate Housewives’ in Los Angeles just two days after the wedding.
Earlier this week, it was revealed the couple are set to receive more than $2 million from OK! magazine for exclusive coverage of the big day.

Britney Spears reportedly delivered legal paperwork to her mother yesterday (28.06.07).

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The troubled singer - who was reported to be planning to file a restraining order against mother Lynne earlier this week - arrived at the set of her sister Jamie Lynn’s California TV show and handed her mother two white pieces of folded paper.
In a video obtained by Splash news, Lynne looked stunned as she read through the paperwork, and had a heated exchange with Britney during which the ‘Toxic’ singer threw her hands up in the air.
Britney waved and smiled to photographers as she returned to her car.
The 25-year-old star allegedly visited her attorney to make enquiries about the order last week in an attempt to keep Lynne away from her two sons.
The paperwork allegedly claims Lynne is abusing prescription pain medication and should not be allowed to see 21-month-old Sean Preston and nine-month-old Jayden James.
Britney is said to blame Lynne for forcing her to enter rehab earlier this year to seek help for her alleged alcohol addiction and post-natal depression.
She is also said to be livid her mother sided with her estranged husband Kevin Federline during the couple’s custody battle.
The Los Angeles Superior Court says they have no knowledge of any papers filed by Britney.
Meanwhile, Kevin is delaying signing final divorce papers over concerns for Britney’s recent erratic behaviour.
A source told People magazine: ‘Britney’s attorneys are anxious to see Kevin sign off on a divorce. But Kevin and his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan are dragging their heels out of concern over reports of Britney’s post-rehab partying.
"Kevin’s camp want to make sure the divorce document makes it simple enough for Kevin to downsize Britney’s access to her kids the next time her behaviour troubles him.’ Kaplan refused to comment on the couple’s divorce.

Brittany Murphy claims she is being stalked by a ‘high-powered Hollywood player’, says her former employee.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The ‘Little Black Book’ star also reportedly claimed her husband – British screenwriter Simon Monjack – was kidnapped for 10 days in April by agents of her supposed stalker, according to Brittany’s former member of staff.
The unnamed male ex-employee told the New York Daily News newspaper: ‘When he came back, he had head injuries. He was pale and sometimes had trouble standing.’ The 29-year-old actress then reportedly told the former member of staff she could not pay him because she had used all her money for the ransom.
However, the dates of the alleged kidnapping coincide with tabloid reports that Monjack was jailed by US immigration authorities for overstaying his visa.
Brittany was rumoured to have married the ‘Factory Girl’ screenplay writer to stop him being deported from the US.
According to reports, Monjack was arrested on expired visa charges in the middle of the night on March 27 - just weeks before the couple’s secret wedding.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: ‘Brittany knew nothing about any of that.’ Monjack’s lawyer said: ‘These charges are being made by disgruntled ex-girlfriends and immigration officials have concluded the marriage had no bearing on my client’s visa status.’ The couple, who began dating last year, tied the knot at their Los Angeles home in front of close family and friends in May.
Brittany’s representative said: ‘They were married at their home in Los Angeles several weeks ago in a very intimate ceremony. It was officiated by a rabbi and they were surrounded by their families.’ The ‘8 Mile’ star insists the deportation rumours are ‘preposterous lies.’ Brittany told In Touch Weekly magazine: ‘Everything was just so fabricated and hurtful.’

Eve was spared jail after pleading no-contest to drink driving yesterday (28.06.07).

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The rapper-and-actress did not attend the Los Angeles court hearing but her attorney Blair Berk entered the plea and said she admitted to driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol level or higher when she crashed her car on April 26. Berk said: ‘She’s a very gifted artist and she is treating this with appropriate seriousness.’ As part of the plea bargain the prosecution dropped two other charges of driving impaired and driving without proof of insurance.
The 28-year-old – real name Eve Jeffers - must stay sober for 45 days and wear an alcohol-monitoring device on her ankle during that time.
Eve was fined $1,400 and placed on three years’ informal probation.
She must also attend a series of classes for first-time drunk-driving offenders.
At an initial hearing in May, Eve’s lawyer pleaded not guilty to the DUI (driving under the influence) charge on her behalf.
Eve crashed her gold Maserati into Hollywood Boulevard’s central reservation in the early hours of April 26.
She had two passengers in the vehicle at the time and was arrested at the scene.

Daniel Radcliffe was greeted by screaming fans as he arrived on the red carpet before the first showing of his much-anticipated fifth outing as the boy wizard.
Many of the fans wore fancy dress and brandished wands as they thrust posters and presents towards the 17-year-old star.
Radcliffe responded to the enthusiastic crowds by announcing "Japanese fans are the best" in Japanese.
He said: "It’s just absolutely brilliant. Harry’s an icon. He is somebody whose character has gotten his generation of kids into reading. So it’s an honour to play him.
"I don’t see myself as having grown up on screen. I simply see myself as having grown up. So it’s probably stranger for people who have watched all the films.’ The film features Harry’s first kiss with fellow Hogwarts student Cho Chang, played by Katy Leung.
Leung declared: ‘I’m sure everyone wants to know if he was a good kisser. He definitely was.’ The film will hit cinemas around the world from July 11.

The heavily-pregnant singer also revealed her baby was kicking throughout the group’s press conference at London’s The 02 arena, and confessed to craving sweet things.
She added: "The baby was kicking loads during the conference. I’ve been eating a lot of cake during the final stages, but I suppose that’s natural!" The Spice Girls are set to kick off their tour in Los Angeles, followed by shows in Las Vegas, New York City, London, Cologne, Madrid, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires.

Tom Cruise is welcome to film his new war movie in Germany, says the country’s Defence Ministry.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

Ministry officials revealed they haven’t received an official request to film Tom’s new movie ‘Valkyrie’ in the country, but insist they would ‘look agreeably’ on any application. Earlier this week, it was reported Cruise would be banned from using German military bases to shoot the movie - which tells the true story of a failed plot to assassinate Hitler - following concerns over his association with Scientology.
However, high profile members of the country’s film industry are said to welcome Cruise’s portrayal of Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg, who is considered a war hero in Germany for his failed attempt to kill Hitler by placing a bomb in his suitcase in 1944.
Christoph Fisser, one of the heads of Studio Babelsberg, said: "The assassination attempt against Hitler is hardly known outside Germany. We should therefore be delighted and welcome this wonderful opportunity to improve the image of our country." ‘Valkyrie’ is set to be directed by ‘Superman Returns’ helmer Bryan Singer, with Kenneth Branagh expected to co-star alongside Cruise.
Scientology - the bizarre sci-fi cult of which Cruise is a long-time member - is under official observation by German authorities and is considered as a potential threat to German democracy.

Cameron Diaz is set to become a scream queen in a new horror movie.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The blonde actress will play a young woman given a mysterious package by a stranger in ‘The Box’.
Cameron’s character is told certain things will happen depending on which buttons she presses.
‘Donnie Darko’ director Richard Kelly is set to helm the project. He wrote the script, which was based on Richard Matheson short story ‘Button, Button’.

Modi Wiczyk, who founded MRC, said: "The storyline has all the commerciality of ‘The Ring,’ but with Richard and Cameron, this film can rise to the level of ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ and ‘The Others’." Production is set to begin this autumn.

Jessica Simpson was allowed to keep the personal trainer she shared with on/off boyfriend John Mayer after they split.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:29 pm

The ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star was introduced to trainer Harley Pasternak by the country singer just over two months ago, and while she is no longer seeing Mayer, Jessica is still working out with Pasternak.
The singer-and-actress is said to have dropped at least two dress sizes and lost almost 20lbs in eight weeks.
Pasternak told the New York Daily News newspaper: ‘I don’t use a tape measure or the scales. Weighing and measuring don’t create a lifestyle change. It is always defeating if you’ve been doing a lot of exercise, then you step on the scale and you’re no lighter. It should be about how you look and how you feel.
‘The exercise sessions can be as short as 25 minutes or as long as 55 minutes." Jessica visits the trainer five times a week and her routine includes step-ups, side bends, crunches, dumbbell rows and the occasional use of an exercise ball.
She is also on Pasternak’s ‘5 Factor Diet’, also favoured by other celebrities including Vanessa Williams, Katherine Heigl and Eva Mendes.
He said: ‘It is very simple and not at all wacky or controversial.
‘I am the voice of moderation and there is no carb or calorie-cutting. It is very sustainable and painless." Jessica, 26, is allowed one day off when she can eat anything she likes, but Pasternak claims his regime means she won’t be tempted to use these days to binge on fast food.
He said: ‘The plan promotes an entire lifestyle change. After a while my clients get sick if they splurge on unhealthy foods.’

Jessica Simpson Typical Diet Day:

Breakfast: Scrambled egg with toast and grapefruit. Coffee with Splenda.

Snack 1: One cup of fat-free ricotta cheese and two cored pears, cut into wedges. Diet soda.

Lunch: Chicken breast sandwich with mustard and a side of black beans. Diet Snapple.

Snack 2: Carrot sticks with onion dip made from non-fat sour cream, non-fat cream cheese and one tablespoon dry onion soup mix.

Dinner: Indian-style chicken breasts with curried yoghurt sauce (made from non-fat plain yoghurt, one teaspoon of curry powder and peeled cucumber) served with brown rice. Green tea.

Manson revealed to Rolling Stone magazine: ‘I spent Y2K New Year’s Eve drinking absinthe with Johnny Depp in France. We were ready for the apocalypse and when it didn’t come we were very disappointed. So we drank more absinthe and set off fireworks. Since then, I don’t drink absinthe, or drink booze.’
