FLOCKHART BLAMES FILMING FOR DRAMATIC WEIGHT LOSS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:23 pm

Actress CALISTA FLOCKHART blames the success of 1990s TV show ALLY McBEAL for her dramatic weight loss and ill health.
The Emmy award-nominated actress once collapsed through dehydration during filming and was often criticised for her thin appearance.
But Flockhart denies she ever suffered from an eating disorder and blames the stresses and success of the TV show for her slim figure.
She says, "I have honestly never dieted in my life. My parents and friends tell me that I have always looked the same since high school. But during (Ally McBeal), when we were filming and working so hard, I became stressed and did not eat as much as I should.
"I think, on a frame like mine, if I lose a few pounds, it makes a big difference. There was no anorexia or bulimia or any other such thing. I hated every bit of attention on my weight and size. Even now, I can’t put into words what exactly happened."

JAY-Z AND NAS DEFEND RAP IN NEW BOOK

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:23 pm

Rap superstars JAY-Z and NAS have spoken out in defence of hip hop in a new book about the music genre.
Jay-Z wrote the introduction for Know What I Mean? Reflections On Hip Hop, by Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson - and Nas wrote a passage at the end of the book.
The book tackles the use of politics and gender in rap - and the pair were keen to speak out at a time when hip hop is under attack for encouraging violence and promoting misogynist behaviour.
Jay-Z writes, "He has shown those doubters and critics that hip hop is a vital arts movement created by young working-class men and women of colour.
Yes, our rhymes can contain violence and hatred. Yes, our songs can detail the drug business and our choruses can bounce with lustful intent. However, those things did not spring from inferior imaginations or deficient morals; these things came from our lives. They came from America."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:20 pm

Pop singer/actress HILARY DUFF has criticised Hollywood casting executives for having "no imagination".
The Lizzie McGuire star insists she hates her "mainstream" tag, and would love to land more challenging acting roles - but insists it’s the fault of movie bosses who can’t see past her "teen star" image.
She says, "They’ll meet with me. They’ll want to go somewhere and talk, ask questions. Then they’ll call and say, ‘We really love her, she’s great, wow.’ "But they have no imagination. I know people look at me and think I’m just so mainstream, ‘She’s just a blonde, young girl.’ But I want to be really artistic."

Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton spent the night together on the eve of the Concert for Diana, it has been revealed.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:50 pm

Though the couple – who split in April after a four-year relationship – did not sit together at the music extravaganza on Sunday (01.07.07) the 25-year-old beauty joined the prince at his home on Saturday night (30.06.07.).
Kate left her Chelsea apartment at 9pm and drove to a Mayfair hotel where she left her Audi in the car park. There she was collected by a royal aide and driven to Clarence House to spend the evening with William.
At the concert’s after-party at Wembley Arena William, 24, and Kate were then seen ‘dirty dancing’ together.
Witnesses say the couple kissed passionately after they had been grinding on the dancefloor to R’n’B tunes, and then the prince openly fondled Kate’s breasts.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “It was amazing. They were really going for it.
“He was holding her close from behind and cheekily cupped her breast. It was pretty X-rated stuff.
“I think he realised after a bit they were becoming the show so they went off to a quiet corner”.
The pair were then spotted kissing passionately over Mojito cocktails at the £250,000 party.
During the concert, Kate sat three rows behind William in the Royal Box at London’s Wembley Stadium in the pair’s first public appearance together since their split.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has been reluctant to conform to the country’s new smoking ban.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:50 pm

A smoking ban came into effect in all public places in England on Sunday (01.07.07), including her majesty’s official Buckingham Palace residence.
Although Elizabeth has consented to putting up no-smoking signs in the public areas of the palace she has made it clear to courtiers she would have preferred to continue offering ash trays to visitors and allow them to indulge in their habit.
A palace source said: “Her majesty is a confirmed non-smoker but she is also a great libertarian and has no time for political correctness.
“She has agreed to comply, but can’t bear the government meddling with every aspect of an individual’s life. She always made cigarettes available to her guests.
“I might add that she refuses to wear a hard hat when she is out riding and she refuses, too, to wear a seat belt when she travels by car.” No-smoking signs have been put up at the entrances to Buckingham Palace used by members of the public when they receive honours, but there will none at entrances used by the queen, the royal family or senior aides.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:50 pm

The Duchess of Cornwall reaches the landmark age on July 17, and the heir to the throne is determined to make the day as special as possible.
Charles is believed to be organising the bash with the help of his wife, and intends to host the event at his Highgrove estate.
It is not yet known who will attend the party, but there is a possibility the prince’s parents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip could be on the guest list.
Charles’ spokesperson said: “Charles and Camilla will host a private party at Highgrove. However, we cannot say who will be attending at this time for security reasons. We can confirm there will be no public aspect to the celebrations.” It is also unknown whether Charles’ sons Princes William and Harry – whose mother, the late Princess Diana, famously described Camilla as the third person in her and Charles’ marriage - will attend.

Prince Edward and his wife, the Countess of Wessex, are expecting their second child in December.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:50 pm

Sophie, 42, and Edward – who have a three-year-old daughter Louise - are said to be “delighted” with the news. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip - for who the baby will be their eighth grandchild - are also said to be “thrilled”.
The couple were believed to have almost given up hope of having another child after undergoing years of fertility treatment, following the birth of Louise.
Sophie lost her first baby and almost died in 2001 when she suffered an ectopic pregnancy – where the foetus grows outside the womb - and had to be airlifted to hospital. She subsequently lost the baby.
When Louise was born the countess had to undergo an emergency caesarean after suffering stomach pains.
A friend of the couple said: “Louise is adored by everyone and is the apple of the queen’s eye. Sophie and Edward felt they were lucky to have a beautiful child already. Having another baby was in the lap of the gods.” Sophie beamed as she carried out an official engagement at the Royal Agricultural Show, in Warwickshire, yesterday (02.07.07) Her spokesman said: “She is not putting her feet up. She is going to carry on official engagements as long as she can. She is feeling great and is completely over the moon.
“I don’t know about morning sickness. She looks great and is smiling from ear-to-ear.” The baby will be the ninth in line to the British throne and will have the title Viscount Severn.

Pop star Natasha Bedingfield says she is ’smitten’ with Britain’s Prince William.

Posted in: Royal News — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:50 pm

The pair met and danced together backstage after the Concert for Diana in London on Sunday (01.07.07), and Natasha admits she now has a crush on the handsome prince.
She said: “It was really nice. I danced with him. He actually asked me to dance. I’m smitten. I’m terrible, because I’ve already got a boyfriend.
Natasha, 25, had earlier performed her hit ‘Unwritten’ at the Wembley Stadium event - held by Princes William, 25, and Harry, 22, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of their late mother Princess Diana’s death. Natasha, who wore a tight sequined dress on stage, also revealed she wasn’t wearing any underwear during her performance.
She said: “I had nothing on underneath that dress.” Natasha had been personally asked to perform at the concert by William and Harry, who are both big fans.
Before the show, she described William as “gorgeous”, before adding: “The only problem is he’s single now and I’ve started dating someone. I should have made my move ages ago.” William split with his girlfriend of three years Kate Middleton in April, but reports are rife the pair are considering a reunion.
Proceeds from the concert - which featured a star-studded line-up, which included Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Take That and Kanye West - will go to several of Diana’s favourite charities, including the National AIDS Trust and homeless charity Centrepoint.
