BECKINSALE SWORN OFF NUDE SCENES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:45 pm

KATE BECKINSALE has vowed never to appear naked in a movie, after she was bullied at school when her actress mum stripped on TV.
The episode traumatised Beckinsale - whose mother is veteran British TV star Judy Loe - and she is determined not to subject her nine-year-old daughter Lily to the same humiliation.
She tells AOL Movies, "My mum was an actress, and she did a nude scene on television when I was about 9 or 10, and the crisis I had when everyone came to school the next day and told me they’d seen my mother naked just makes me kind of, you know … I’m not in a big rush to do that to my child.
"She’s embarrassed enough that I’m an actress at all, without me being naked as well."

BECKINSALE ‘A-TEAM’ ACCENT LESSONS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:45 pm

British actress KATE BECKINSALE perfected her American accent as a child, with a TV diet of THE A-TEAM and KNIGHT RIDER.
The Pearl Harbor beauty believes British actors find it easier to pick up an American twang, because they grow up watching popular U.S. shows.
And she admits she was no exception.
The 34-year-old tells AOL Movies, "There are some American actors that do (it well). I thought Anne Hathaway did a fantastic British accent in Becoming Jane.
But on the whole, I think we have to do it more, and we hear it more growing up.
"I know that I came to America and I could perfectly understand everything everybody was saying, because we grew up on Knight Rider and The A-Team."

MR. T BROUGHT BOY OUT OF COMA

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:42 pm

Former THE A-TEAM star MR. T once stunned a sick child’s family by bringing him out of a coma - after doctors begged the actor for help.
The poorly kid fell unconscious in Detroit, Michigan in the mid-1980s - and the only physical movement he made was in response to hearing Mr. T’s name.
And when the mohawked star was in town, he stopped by the hospital to visit the ill boy - with miraculous results.
He tells Britain’s Empire magazine, "His family put toys around him and one of them was a Mr. T doll. And whenever my name came up, the boy moved his arm.
"Somebody told the doctors I was in town, so they called me down there. I closed the curtains and prayed. Then, as I was walking down the hall, the kid suddenly came out of the coma and hollered out.
"That was my supernatural moment."

ROSEMOND WANTS TIMES REPORTER FIRED

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:36 pm

LATEST: SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS’ former manager JIMMY ‘HENCHMAN’ ROSEMOND has called for the newspaper reporter who erroneously linked the pair to a gun attack on the late TUPAC SHAKUR to be fired.
The Los Angeles Times ran an article on 17 March (08) claiming Rosemond was involved in a plan to ambush Shakur at a New York Recording studio in 1994.
The report, by journalist Chuck Philips, went on to claim that Combs had advance knowledge of a planned attack on his rap rival - claims which were staunchly denied by both the Bad Boy Records boss and Rosemond.
Philips stood by his article despite the stars’ denials, but on Thursday (27Mar08) was forced to issue an apology after it was revealed his investigation had been based on bogus FBI documents.
However, Rosemond - who is now managing rapper The Game - wants Philips to suffer the consequences of publishing such "damaging" claims.
He tells MTV.com, "I lived with the rumour of what happened to Tupac for the last 14 years.
"And rumours are rumours - either you believe them or you don’t - but when you have a reputable newspaper like the Los Angeles Times with a Pulitzer Prize winner like Chuck Philips to validate a rumour, then it becomes real. It becomes real in your life, real to the people around you.
"When you Google me, this affects me regardless, forever. I could always rebut a rumour, but this is something that’s well more damaging. And I think Chuck Philips… did irreparable damage to my career, my reputation and everything else… An apology isn’t going to do it. There has to be some form of reprimand in the sense of his job. He needs to lose his job."

MARIO DENIES ROMANCE RUMOURS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:36 pm

R&B hunk MARIO has denied rumours he is dating his DANCING WITH THE STARS partner KARINA SMIRNOFF.
The pair is alleged to have started a romance after becoming close on the hit U.S. reality show, and rumours were further fuelled when they were spotted getting intimate at a Hollywood party in February (08), according to the New York Post’s gossip column PageSix.
Mario recently joked about his relationship status when he gushed to People.com: "I love this woman (Smirnoff)! I love her personality! I’ve grown to love the person that she is, and you should feel that way about your partner!" His compliments prompted Smirnoff to tease the Let Me Love You hitmaker about having a child, telling the site: "I told you to keep it on the downlow. By the end of the show, I will be pregnant with Mario’s baby!" But the 21-year-old singer’s representative has laughed off claims of a relationship, insisting, "They’re not dating." Mario is not the first partner professional dancer Smirnoff has been linked to - she reportedly dated her season three partner Mario Lopez in 2006.

JAGGER SWIMS IN WOOD’S NEW POOL

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:03 pm

SIR MICK JAGGER has become a regular visitor at ROLLING STONES bandmate RONNIE WOODS’ London home, so he can enjoy a dip in the guitarist’s new swimming pool.
The bandmembers insist they avoid each other as much as possible when they’re not recording or performing, so they don’t get on each others’ nerves.
But the sporty frontman - who lives in a private suite at London’s Claridges Hotel when he’s not on the road - is hooked on the thrill of swimming in private at Wood’s mansion in the capital.
Jagger adds, "Ronnie’s got a new swimming pool, so I’m going there often - as I don’t have such a thing."

DiCAPRIO FACES TRIAL OVER BASKETBALL COURT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 6:00 pm

LATEST: LEONARDO DiCAPRIO is heading for a court battle over the construction of his basketball court, after a judge gave his Hollywood neighbours the go-ahead to sue the actor for allegedly damaging their property.
The Titanic star and his cousin Robert Hrtica, from whom DiCaprio rents the Hollywood Hills home, are named in legal papers filed by neighbours Ronald and Joan Linclau last May (07).
The Linclaus allege DiCaprio "maliciously" cut and removed hedges; excavated "earth, granite and bedrock", destabilising their deck and swimming pool; and ignored their repeated requests to halt the 2004 construction.
They are suing for trespass, nuisance and negligence and are seeking $250,000 (£125,000) in compensation.
Los Angeles Judge Tricia Ann Bigelow, who is presiding over the proceedings, previously ruled the Linclaus’ initial lawsuit was inadequate and failed to prove DiCaprio did anything wrong.
They have since adjusted their lawsuit and on Thursday (27Mar08), Bigelow tentatively gave the case the go-ahead.
She branded the damage caused to the Linclaus’ property "potentially outrageous", adding that although the suit was not of "model clarity", it was clear enough to go to trial.
However, Bigelow will make the final ruling at a later court hearing - the date for which has yet to be disclosed.
