PRINCE WILLIAM ‘WEDS’ IN PARADISE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:24 pm

British royal PRINCE WILLIAM has ‘wed’ his on/off girlfriend KATE MIDDLETON after eloping to paradise, according to sensational U.S. press reports.
American tabloid the Globe claims the 25-year-old heir to the U.K. throne set up a mock wedding ceremony as a surprise to Middleton during a vacation in the Seychelles.
The semi-nuptials were so last minute, William didn’t have time to buy his ‘bride’ a ring and instead used a red leather band bought from a local beach trader to seal his commitment.
Unlike the lavish ceremony that brought England to a standstill when his mother and father Princess Diana and Prince Charles wed in London in 1980, William wore shorts and a T-shirt, while Middleton donned a sarong.
Insiders claim the beach affair was more of a commitment ceremony than a full-blown marriage - and they doubt that William and Kate are officially man and wife, even though a local preacher oversaw the ‘nuptials’ before two witnesses.
A source tells the Globe, "This was the moment that William committed himself to Kate - forever. He told her that he would love and protect her for the rest of his life." The couple, who became lovers while studying at Britain’s St. Andrews University in 2003, split briefly in April (07) but reconciled during the Princess Diana tribute concert in London in July (07).

NAS VOTERS CONCERT IN JEOPARDY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:15 pm

An upcoming NAS concert encouraging Canadian youths to register to vote is in jeopardy after the venue pulled out of hosting the event.
Students groups at Carleton University and University of Ottawa, who have organised the Rock The Vote concert, have been banned from using the Ottawa Congress Centre on 1 October (07).
Isaac Cockburn, vice-president of student issues for the Carleton University Students’ Association, claims the Centre’s vice president of food and beverage, Peter Seguin, said the building had an anti-rap policy.
Cockburn says, "He in fact said that he’d had over 200 requests for hip-hop shows that he’s turned down over the past couple of years. He said that it was an increased security risk and that it was a vulnerability that the Congress Centre was not willing to take on." The students allege the centre’s vice-president of client services Paul Keogh said they had made the decision because Nas’ lyrics promote gun violence.
The groups are now seeking another venue to host the gig.

FOXY BROWN ‘ISOLATED’ IN PRISON

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:15 pm

LATEST: Troubled rapper FOXY BROWN has been isolated from her fellow inmates during her current stint in New York’s Rikers Island prison.
Brown, real name Inga Marchand, was jailed on 22 August (07) by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson for violating probation from a 2006 assault conviction following her recent arrest for assaulting her neighbour and driving on a suspended license.
Newly-freed cellmates Teresa Pandolfo and Donolay Thomas claim the rapper was segregated from the rest of the prisoners and guards instructed people to stay away from her.
Pandolfo tells the New York Post, "Everyone who passes by looks at her she’s usually sleeping or reading her books. Her hair looks like whoever did it ran. That’s how much the weave is coming apart." Thomas adds, "She’s alone all day, every day. They’re just keeping her away from everybody. When other inmates yell to her, ‘Hey, Foxy,’ she’ll just look up and wave. She’s friendly, she’s not uppity." A spokesman for New York’s Correction Department said Marchand was separated from her fellow inmates for security reasons.
The Candy star is expected to appear in court on 7 September (07) for a hearing.
The rapper was sentenced to three years probation last year (06) after she was found guilty of assaulting two manicurists in 2004. She was also arrested in Florida in February (07) for battery and resisting arrest in a Pembroke Pines beauty store.

SPECTOR JURORS CAN ONLY CONSIDER SECOND-DEGREE MURDER CHARGE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:15 pm

LATEST: Jurors in the PHIL SPECTOR murder trial can only consider whether the music producer is guilty of second-degree murder or not.
Judge Larry Paul Fidler also considered whether the jury could ponder over voluntary or involuntary manslaughter charges, instead of murder, but decided against it.
The Los Angeles Superior Court judge told lawyers on Wednesday (29Aug07), "I don’t see it." He added, "The only verdict from they (the jurors) will get is second-degree murder." Attorneys for both sides agreed that the legal definitions of the lesser manslaughter crimes don’t fit the Spector case.
Final arguments will be presented next week (05-06Sep07) and jury deliberations are expected to begin on 7 September (07).
Spector is accused of the fatal shooting of Clarkson at his Alhambra, California mansion in 2003. He has pleaded not guilty.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 7:40 pm

The troubled singer - who is currently on holiday with husband Blake Fielder-Civil on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia - was due to sing at the event but her record label, Universal, announced yesterday (29.08.07) she will definitely not be taking to the stage.

The ‘Back to Black’ singer is up for three MTV awards, including Best New Artist, at the glitzy ceremony which takes place at Las Vegas’ Palm Springs Casino Resort on September 9.
Amy and Blake, 26, have shocked the world in recent weeks as details of their excessive drug use and turbulent private life have emerged.
Last week, disturbing photos of the couple arguing on the streets of London which showed Blake with deep scratches to his face and neck, and a clearly distressed Amy with bandages covering cuts on her arms and blood-soaked feet, thought to be caused by injecting drugs.
She later sent a text message to online gossip columnist Perez Hilton claiming she was responsible for the injuries and that Blake had stopped her from self-harming and taking heroin with a prostitute.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 7:40 pm

The New England Patriots’ quarterback – who split from the ‘I-Robot’ star in December after three years together – was present at the birth of their son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, in California on August 22 but reportedly left the hospital in tears.
A witness at the St. John’s Health Centre in Santa Monica said: "As he left the hospital with his parents around 9.45pm his eyes welled up.
"I felt so bad for him because he was upset." Sources close to Bridget, 36, claim she has told Tom she does not want him in her life as she feels he neglected her during her pregnancy.
A source said: ‘Bridget wants nothing to do with Tom. The mood at the birth was very sombre.
"Their parents gave them time alone to try and work things out, but Bridget is very bitter." The 30-year-old footballer has been dating Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 27, since January.
Bridget’s representative Christina Papadopoulos released a statement this week saying: ‘She is thankful for a healthy baby and is excited about being a mother.
"She was very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth and spend a few days with their new child.’

Hulk Hogan’s son was racing another car when he crashed into a tree, critically injuring his passenger, a witness has claimed.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 7:40 pm

Nick Bollea, 17 - the son of Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea – was allegedly racing his Toyota Supra against a Dodge Viper Coupe when he lost control and smashed into a palm tree on Sunday (26.08.07), according to eye witness Frances Vitalis.
Vitalis, who is a nurse, claims she was riding a motorcycle behind the two cars and saw them revving their engines and racing between traffic lights. She is quoted by USA Today newspaper as saying: "I knew something was going to happen. You know this is a bad situation and these guys are hotdogging." Hulk Hogan is said to own a Dodge Viper which matches the description of the car allegedly seen racing his son’s Supra, but there is no suggestion the former professional wrestler played any part in the incident.
Bollea has been fined for speeding on four separate occasions in the last year, most recently just two weeks ago when he was caught driving at 82 mph in a 45 mph zone in Florida.
Police spokesman Wayne Shelor declined to comment on the reports because of the ongoing investigation.
He said detectives have talked to "a number of eye witnesses".
Bollea’s passenger John Graziano, 22, remains in critical condition in Bayfront Medical Center.
Hulk and his family recently starred in reality TV show ‘Hogan Knows Best’.

Charlie Sheen has blasted his ex-wife Denise Richards for her

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 7:40 pm

The former ‘Hot Shots!’ star – who is attempting to change the terms of their current custody agreement so he can make his own childcare decisions - has released a statement accusing Richards of using their daughters, three-year-old Sam and Lola, two, to "punish and control him".
He said: "Until I’m granted the ability to hire my own nanny, Denise is required to provide one and I was terribly insulted that she feels her ‘assistant’ is a suitable replacement. ‘These childcare sanctions have nothing to do with responsible co-parenting and everything to do with punishment and control. As long as I am forced to live under these conditions with my children, people are going to hear about it." Richards responded to Sheen’s statement by expressing her wish for their arguments to remain private.
She said: ‘This was and should still be a private matter that we as responsible parents settled privately. I stand by that agreement and I will continue to do what is best for our children while attempting to keep this family situation a private matter.’ Sheen and Richards were married in 2002 and divorced four years later. The actor recently became engaged to real estate investor Brooke Mueller.

DINA LOHAN RESPONDS TO EX-HUSBAND’S OUTBURST

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:15 pm

LINDSAY LOHAN’s estranged father MICHAEL had eight restraining orders against him, according to his ex-wife DINA.
Dina hit back at her ex-husband after he launched a scathing attack accusing her of spreading lies about him in a bid to stop him seeing his four children, Lindsay, Michael Jr, Dakota and Aliana.
But she says his outburst proves that it is not surprising he was banned from seeing his children, a restriction she lifted so he could visit his daughter Lindsay in a Utah rehab clinic.
She tells VH1, "Now the world will know why eight people were issued criminal stay away orders of protection until 2011 against Michael Lohan."
