50 CENT TOO FAMOUS FOR A ‘NORMAL’ RELATIONSHIP

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:33 pm

Rapper 50 CENT blames his batchelor status on his celebrity status - because his fame makes it impossible to date a "normal" person.
The hip-hop star has been linked to a string of beauties in the past, and was recently rumoured to be dating R&B star Ciara.
But he admits his hectic lifestyle makes it difficult to have a proper relationship.
He says, "I have a lot going on and it’s tough. Let’s say that I’d commit to someone who is ‘normal’ and has a ‘normal’ lifestyle. But I think they would feel neglected on some levels."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:33 pm

Redhead NICOLE KIDMAN once suffered skin cancer on her leg and now avoids exposure to sunlight as much as possible.
The fair-skinned Australian actress has medical parents - her father is a clinical psychologist and her mother is a nurse educator - and insists spending too much time in the sun is the quickest way to damage the skin.
She says, "I wear a lot of sunscreen. I never go in the sun.
"I’ve had one skin cancer on my leg, and I rarely get in the sun, so that just shows you. They cut it out (the cancer).
"Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I’m very medical. I come from a medical family."

SPEARS RISKS CUSTODY BATTLE BY RUNNING RED LIGHT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:30 pm

BRITNEY SPEARS ran through a red light on Thursday night (08Nov07) with her two sons strapped into the backseat of her car - causing the court-appointed monitor to crouch down in the front passenger’s seat.
Spears was caught driving towards the intersection on Coldwater Canyon in Los Angeles raising her cell phone to her face while keeping her other hand on the steering wheel of her Mercedes-Benz.
But the star was clearly distracted and failed to see the lights turn red as she sailed past the junction and turned onto Mulholland Drive, luckily avoiding oncoming traffic.
The singer’s latest driving misdemeanor came just hours after ex-husband Kevin Federline - who has been granted custody of their children - called for the singer to be banned from driving while Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, are in her care.
Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, called an emergency hearing on Thursday (08Nov07) to discuss the divorced couple’s custody battle, after alleging Spears had missed eight out of 14 drug test requests.
Under the latest court rulings, the Toxic hitmaker is allowed to visit her children three times a week, with a court-appointed monitor accompanying them.
But the pop superstar could have her visitation rights revoked for putting her children’s safety at risk, after video footage of her latest traffic offence was posted on website TMZ.com.
Spears’ driving skills have already cost her dear in her custody battle last month (Oct07), she pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanour charge of driving without a valid driver’s licence. She has since obtained a temporary California permit.
She was also involved in a hit and run in August (07) and could face another similar charge for driving over a police officer’s foot.

POLANSKI BIOPIC IN THE WORKS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:27 pm

Director ROMAN POLANSKI is to have his life documented in a new Hollywood biopic.
The movie, simply titled Polanski, will be written, produced and directed by Damian Chapa and will document the filmmaker’s life from his childhood in Poland during the Holocaust to modern day.
It will also focus on the 1969 murder of his wife Sharon Tate and the unlawful sex charges the star faced in 1977, after he was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Polanski jumped bail following the incident and fled to Europe, where he has remained ever since. He is now a French citizen.
And director Chapa is confident Polanski’s life will make for interesting viewing.
He says, "It’s a very intense story we’re going to carefully base on court documents and public-domain records.
"I’ve looked at the court documents of his case, and they’re so brash and in-your-face. What happened there has overshadowed his life yet also been swept under the carpet," he added. "I’ve always been fascinated by his story and couldn’t understand why no-one has done a movie about him." The roles will be cast in the coming weeks and the film will begin shooting in January (08).
It is understood Polanski himself will have no involvement in the project.

T.I. DROPS THANKSGIVING REQUEST OVER HOUSE ARREST RULE

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

LATEST: Rapper T.I. has dropped his request for more lenient house arrest regulations, because he felt it was a lost cause.
The Bring ‘Em Out star - real name Clifford Harris Jr. - is a prisoner in his own Georgia home after he was arrested in October (07) for illegal weapons charges.
Harris filed an appeal to a U.S. judge earlier this week (ends09Nov07) to issue a temporary waiver for rules of his house arrest so that he could spend Thanksgiving day (22Nov07) with his family.
But the hip-hop star has now withdrawn his request, citing strong opposition from prosecutors handling the case, reports AllHipHop.com.
Harris has pleaded his innocence in the charges after he was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia last month by federal agents who claim he took possession of three machine guns and two silencers that a bodyguard purchased on his behalf.
He was later released from jail on $3 million (£1.5 million) bail on the condition that he remains at home in Henry County, under 24-hour surveillance, with no more than three visitors at any one time.

Christina Aguilera hopes she can still wear her crotchless leather chaps when she is 60.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:57 pm

The 26-year-old singer - who wore the racy trousers for her steamy ‘Dirrty’ video - had so much fun wearing the tight pants she wants to hang on to them into old age.
Christina said: ‘I definitely stirred the pot a bit but I had fun. If it’s under the mark of respectability it’s prudish, if it’s over the mark, it’s sl***y.
‘That’s really unfair, so I’m happy I’ve been able to express myself and be on both sides - people have loved it, hated it, been undecided, and been empowered by it.
‘I was only 21, and possibly when I’m 60, if I can still fit into them. At the end of the day I can say I have a f***ing blast." Christina - who is six months pregnant with her first child with husband Jordan Bratman - also revealed she hates people who "kiss her a**".
She added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: ‘I’ve never wanted to be surrounded by ‘yes’ people. There’s some sort of lack of self-esteem for someone to gravitate towards that kind of energy. I don’t like my a** being kissed.’

Tori Spelling says her son is a budding comedian.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:57 pm

The 34-year-old actress claims eight-month-old Liam - her first child with husband Dean McDermott - has already developed a great sense of humour.
Tori said: ‘He tries to make everyone laugh. So if he does something and you laugh, he stops and looks at you and then keeps doing it. He totally gets it and it’s really funny!’ The former ‘Beverly Hills 90210′ star also revealed her bundle of joy responds to the nickname ‘monkey’.
She added: ‘We call him monkey. We started to call him that when he was little. I was like, ‘Well, you are a little monkey!’ And then it just stuck. He actually responds to the name monkey more than Liam.’ Tori also explained how scared she was when the recent California wildfires came close to destroying the B+B she runs with her husband.
She added to People magazine: ‘The fires did come close and at one point they were four miles from us and the town was evacuated. When you put so much into something and spent so much time kind of redecorating the B+B and putting so much of ourselves into it and you think, ‘Gosh, in just one second everything could be gone.’ And that was pretty scary. But everything is fine.’

He said: ‘Charlie is great when we’re filming. He knows when to be quiet and he likes watching the TV screen. He knows to be quiet after ‘Action!’ ‘

Joely Richardson has been getting more male attention since playing a lesbian in ‘Nip/Tuck’.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:54 pm

The 42-year-old actress, who plays Julia McNamara in the hit US TV show, has been swamped with romance offers since Julia embarked on a steamy same-sex relationship Portia de Rossi’s character. She said: "I think playing a lesbian turns men on. When my character Julia was the boring, married housewife, always chopping vegetables, people were sweet and lovely. "But now I’m playing her as a sexy b***h with a big padded bra and a short skirt, I get a very different reaction. I think men respond to the sexiness of two women being together." Joely recently revealed she "loves" kissing women on screen.
She said: "I have no problems kissing women – I love it really. It’s not the first time I have done lesbian scenes, and I’m sure it won’t be the last."
