REPORT - JOLIE & PITT’S TWINS WILL BE FRATERNAL

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

ANGELINA JOLIE will give birth to twins in her late mother’s native France, if the latest U.S. news reports are to be believed.
Celebrity magazine In Touch reports the actress and partner Brad Pitt are expecting a boy and a girl.
The couple has yet to confirm the baby news, even though Jolie’s ever-growing belly suggests she’s with child, and their publicist is offering a firm "no comment" on the latest reports.
According to In Touch, Jolie was overheard cooing about her unborn babies on the set of Pitt’s new movie, Tree Of Life, in Texas, telling one pal the little ones are "kicking and moving".
A source tells the publication Jolie and Pitt were overjoyed when they heard they’d be having twins after a visit to their obstetrician/gynaecologist Dr.
Jason Rothbart last week (14Mar08).
The insider says, "Because she took fertility treatments to help her ovulate, her babies are fraternal. They’re ecstatic. She can’t wait." The source adds, "She’s (Jolie) out of breath a lot, but she loves every second of it (pregnancy)." The couple is reportedly set on having the twins abroad - and France is a favourite destination, according to the publication.

STERN FEARED SMITH’S SON HAD BEEN POISONED

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

ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s lawyer/companion HOWARD K. STERN was so convinced the death of the tragic actress’ son was not drug related, he insisted police check the 20-year-old’s food for poison.
Speaking in a Bahamas court on Tuesday (18Mar08) - at the ongoing inquest into Daniel Smith’s death - an emotional Stern recalled his final conversation with his girlfriend’s son hours before he died in September, 2006.
And he admitted he was so stunned by the youngster’s death, he offered a number of non-drug-related reasons for the tragedy.
Stern told the court he’s still struggling to come to terms that Smith died from a drug overdose.
Stern told the court he gave the police Daniel’s food because he thought he might have been poisoned, adding, "I would never, never believe that it had anything to do with drugs. He wasn’t that kind of kid."

LIU’S ‘TERRIFYING’ MID-AIR EXPERIENCE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:50 pm

Actress LUCY LIU was left terrified during a recent flight when a drunk man charged down the plane towards the cockpit.
Liu was returning to the U.S. from Cote d’Ivoire in Africa, where the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ambassador witnessed the threat to child survival caused by a lack of clean drinking water - when the incident took place.
The Kill Bill star was drifting off to sleep when she was awoken by the sound of people running, followed by a midair brawl.
She recalls, "We took a night flight from Africa back. In the middle of the flight back - everyone’s asleep - all of a sudden you hear… people running down the aisle. Somebody had run from the coach class, and apparently had had too much to drink, and was tackled.
"You couldn’t see anything because it was totally dark and they were behind the curtain (dividing partitions of the plane). And you see just arms and legs and screaming. There were six stewards that had to take down this guy.
"It was terrifying because you don’t know what’s going on.."

WINOKUR CONFIRMS IMPENDING MOTHERHOOD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:47 pm

LATEST: New DANCING WITH THE STARS contestant MARISSA JARET WINOKUR has confirmed she’s preparing to become a first-time mother.
The 35-year-old actress and her husband, King Of The Hill writer Judah Miller, will become parents by a surrogate in four months (Jul08).
Winokur underwent a hysterectomy in 2000 to help her beat cervical cancer, and the procedure robbed her of the chance to carry a child herself - but she was able to freeze some of her eggs.
Winokur tells website People.com, "2008 is beginning to be the best year of my life.
"I don’t care if I win or lose Dancing With The Stars because I know when the show is over I will have the best prize - a baby.
"After cancer I never thought I’d have a baby. This is truly the best time of my life."

LaBEOUF’S ARREST WARRANT WAIVED

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:47 pm

LATEST: A warrant for the arrest of SHIA LaBEOUF has been recalled a day after the actor failed to show up in court to face an unlawful smoking charge.
The Transformers star missed a hearing in Burbank, California on Tuesday (18Mar08), relating to an incident last month (Feb08) when he was cited for lighting up in a non-smoking shopping area.
Authorities issued a $1,000 (£500) bench warrant for his arrest.
But on Wednesday (19Mar08) court Commissioner Kirkland Nyby discarded the warrant after LaBeouf’s attorney turned up to plead not guilty on the 21-year-old’s behalf.
A pre-trial hearing has been set for 24 April (08).
LaBeouf’s latest legal woe comes just months after the actor was arrested for trespassing in a Chicago, Illinois drugstore.
The 21-year-old was charged with a public misdemeanour in November (07), after refusing to leave the store while drunk. The charges were later dropped.

PARTY PLANNER BLASTS LOHAN FOR ‘DRAMA’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:47 pm

The organiser of Los Angeles’ recent Scandinavian Style Mansion party has publicly criticised hostess LINDSAY LOHAN for the "drama" she created at the event.
Businessman Claus Hjelmbak, who owns the Scandinavian Style Mansion in Beverly Hills, initially asked Britney Spears to host the bash, but opted for Lohan when it became clear to him that the pop star needed time to address her legal issues and mental health.
But it’s unlikely he’ll work with Lohan again after comments Hjelmbak made to America’s Life & Style magazine.
The Mean Girls star, 21, reportedly refused to walk the red carpet at the party on 14 March (08) until a backdrop featuring on-off pal Paris Hilton’s name was removed.
Hjelmbak reveals, "She said no to everything so I had to take it down." Lohan then further upset the businessman by refusing to stay at the party for more than an hour.
Choosing his words carefully, Hjelmbak tells the publication, "I think Lindsay’s really cute, she has good style, and I like her as a person, but the drama was unnecessary… (She) was very hard to deal with."

RYDER’S REPRESENTATIVE FIRES BACK AT SHOPLIFTING REPORT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:44 pm

WINONA RYDER’s publicist has blasted reports the actress has been caught up in another shoplifting scandal as "not accurate".
The Heathers star, who was convicted of stealing $6,000 (£3,000) worth of clothes from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills in 2002, reportedly tried to leave a Hollywood pharmacy with make-up items she hadn’t paid for.
Staff members claim the actress appeared stunned when security bosses confronted her as she left the CVS store and set alarms off.
A pharmacy worker reveals, "A security guard stopped her and found make-up she hadn’t paid for." The actress, 36, allegedly insisted she had no idea how the items ended up in her bag.
According to U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer, Ryder returned the items and the police were not called to the store.
But the actress’ publicist has dismissed the story, stating, "There’s no truth to this. It’s not accurate."

UB40 IN CHAOS AFTER SECOND DEPARTURE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:41 pm

UB40 keyboard player MICHAEL VIRTUE has quit the British band - just two months after frontman ALI CAMPBELL walked out.
Virtue launched a parting attack on the pop veterans’ management company, accusing it of mishandling the band - the same reason Campbell cited for his departure in January (08).
In a statement, Virtue says, "I can no longer work with the management team and I am joining Ali Campbell in his investigation into the handling of the band’s business affairs.
"I am very upset to be leaving the band, who have been like family for the last 30 years, but feel, under the circumstances, that this was the only option left open to me.
"I have been unhappy with the way things have been run for many years and wanted to get to the bottom of the band’s business affairs, which I have been unable to do.
"Ali has had no contact with the band since the last UB40 concert in Uganda so I called him last week and asked to speak with him. I have now had a meeting with the legal team who are representing Ali and are now also representing me.
"It certainly cannot be said that I am leaving to pursue a solo career and neither did Ali. Suffice to say, I am extremely disappointed." UB40 vowed to continue performing after Campbell’s departure. Virtue’s exit leaves six band members.
