WALSH’S SURPRISING LETTER FROM THE PAPARAZZI

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:59 pm

Actress KATE WALSH was amazed to receive a note in her mailbox from the paparazzi - recommending the wall she’s building outside her home to maintain her privacy is unnecessary.
Walsh and new husband, movie mogul Alex Young, live in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles and wanted to shield their home from the photographers gathered across the street.
And just after builders began work on a brick wall along the property’s perimeter, Walsh received her unexpected letter.
She says, "We’re building up our front wall for some privacy and we got a note from one of the paparazzi in the mailbox, saying ‘We noticed you’re going to be building up your wall, but we just want to tell you, you really don’t need to, you just need to put some more shrubs in and then we can’t get a good picture. Signed - The Paparazzi.’"

GEORGE MICHAEL HID GAY SECRET FROM MOTHER

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:56 pm

British singer GEORGE MICHAEL was forced to hide his sexuality from his late mother - despite feeling like "a fraud".
The Fast Love hitmaker refused to tell his mother Lesley he was gay - because he wanted to protect her from the possibility he could contract AIDS.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs show, he says,"AIDS was the predominant feature of being gay in the 1980s and early 1990s as far as any parent was concerned. "My mother was still alive and every single day would have been a nightmare for her thinking what I might have been subjected to." Lesley died from cancer in 1997.

KYLIE TO CENSOR NEW DOCUMENTARY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:56 pm

Pop princess KYLIE MINOGUE has censored her forthcoming documentary by cutting scenes which reveal glimpses of her body after reconstructive surgery.
The documentary follows the singer through her emotional return to the stage last year (06) after she was forced to take a year off after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
But the 39-year-old star has opted to remove scenes which show the physical scars following surgery.
A source tells British newspaper The News of the World, "Kylie wanted a warts-and -all documentary, but there are loads of scenes fans will never see.
"She wanted to show other cancer survivors there is nothing to be ashamed of.
"No scarring is visible because she had clever reconstructive surgery after the partial mastectomy to remove her cancer. But she felt it was too much and was extremely unhappy so got it chopped." Other scenes to be axed include an interview with her Neighbours co-star and one time boyfriend Jason Donovan and footage of her crying following her break-up with French actor Olivier Martinez.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:53 pm

Actress THANDIE NEWTON’s new film role helped her perfect her baking skills.
The Mission: Impossible II star plays a master baker in hit British comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run and admits she took the role so seriously she signed up for cooking classes.
She tells WENN, "I actually did training for that. The wonderful woman would come and we’d spend the afternoon together just baking and creating cakes.
"The actual cake you see in the movie, I genuinely re-decorated that." And Newton’s two kids couldn’t be happier with mum’s baking skills.
She explains, "There was one time I made a gingerbread and I gave my little one a slice and she said, ‘That’s disgusting.’ I tried it later and it was absolutely foul.
"I think that I thought the sugar was bicarbonate of soda, so it was a disaster. I’m a much better baker now."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:53 pm

Veteran actress ELIZABETH TAYLOR is not planning to marry her companion JASON WINTERS, according to a close pal of the star.
Media reports in the U.S. have been speculating as to when Taylor, 75, will be announcing plans to wed 47-year-old Winters - in what would be her ninth marriage.
But Martin Delaney, a friend of the couple and the founder of a San Francisco Aids charity, has dismissed the reports as "silly stuff".
He says, "I don’t know how a marriage between them could take place. That’s not the kind of relationship they’ve got. I find it all pretty amusing.
"Elizabeth is friends with Jason and his long-term friend, Erik Sterling… I know Elizabeth is very close to Jason, but the idea of them marrying is silly stuff." Taylor was last married to construction worker Larry Fortensky in 1991, but the relationship ended in divorce in 1996.

How did she find out I was going there? "It’s so scary, because she glares at me like a woman possessed and grabs at me. I don’t know what she wants from me."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:23 pm

Oscar winner HILARY SWANK has no intentions of following in the footsteps of BRITNEY SPEARS and JENNIFER LOPEZ by launching her own perfume brand - because she thinks the current celebrity craze is "stupid".
The Million Dollar Baby actress, 33, is content with just being the face of beauty house Guerlain’s new Insolence fragrance, because she is no expert at making scents for herself.
She says, "What do they know about perfume? You buy jeans from Levis, watches from Rolex and perfume from the best makers.
"I think this celeb obsession is pretty stupid actually."

SPEARS: ‘EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF ME’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:23 pm

BRITNEY SPEARS has voiced her disdain at the media frenzy that constantly surrounds her - hitting out at everyone for always wanting "a piece" of her.
The outburst appears on new song Piece Of Me from her as-yet-untitled forthcoming album, which is expected to hit stores in November (07).
But the lyrics on the track give the public an insight into the 25-year-old’s state of mind, and her hatred of the world’s press always commenting on her appearance and personal life.
She sings: "I’m Mrs American Dream, since 17, they want a piece of me.
"I’m successful, rich and famous, I’m Mrs Oh My God, I’m Britney, Shameless.
"I’m Mrs Extra, Extra, This Just In, I’m Mrs She’s Too Big, She’s Too Thin." Spears has been in the public eye since her debut single, Baby One More Time, became a worldwide hit in 1999.
She has more recently hit the headlines for her alleged drug use and stint in rehab, her divorce from dancer Kevin Federline, and her dismal comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month (Sep07).
