50 CENT CREDITS SON WITH CRIME U-TURN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:38 pm

Rapper 50 CENT credits his son Marquis for making him abandon his life of crime and focus on writing his music.
The In Da Club hitmaker learned from his late mother Sabrina’s mistakes, who had him when she was only 15.
He says, "My little boy is my motivation. He’s really the reason why I had a real firm focus on writing music. It’s weird that my mom went in the opposite direction when I was born.
"She didn’t see welfare as an option, so she started to hustle and the things that came with that lifestyle. And she ended up being killed in that situation." The rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, was only eight when his mother was murdered.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:35 pm

Actress TORI SPELLING and husband DEAN McDERMOTT fell in love the moment they first locked eyes - despite being married to different partners.

Spelling says, "I met him, I shook his hand and that was it. It was literally love at first sight. Seriously it was, and whenever I tell someone, they’re like, ‘Oh, sure.’ But honestly it was the type of love you see in movies, in fairytales, like that love I never believed in.
"It was incredibly difficult and yet incredibly necessary because the love was so intense. Even though we might be making a situation difficult for others, how do you turn back?"

ANGEL FURIOUS OVER ESTRANGED WIFE’S ‘BLATANT LIES’

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

LATEST: Illusionist CRISS ANGEL has accused his estranged wife JOANNE SARANTAKOS of telling a divorce court "blatant lies" about their marriage.
Angel - real name Christopher Sarantakos - has been accused by Sarantakos of failing to support her financially during their five year marriage.
In court papers filed at Nassau County Court, New York last month (29Jun07), she also claims Angel kept their marriage a secret from his family.
But Angel has branded the allegations "lies", saying he has always paid for her "every expense".
He says, "It is with great sadness and disappointment that I feel the need to dignify and refute the inaccuracies, blatant lies and misrepresentations that my estranged wife and her attorney made last week in a New York courtroom and continue to make in the press.
"When she filed her complaint over one year ago, and when she amended it twice she made no mention of alleged adultery or lack of financial support.
"I have always supported Joanne’s every expense. Essentially, I have paid for her every expense. Her claim that she was my ’secret’ wife is preposterous and inaccurate. Our marriage was well known to my friends and all of my fans worldwide. She was featured prominently in the first two seasons of my (Mindfreak) show. She and her family were thanked and credited in every episode and in my recent autobiography."
