DRIVER KEEPS BABY’S SEX A SECRET

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:29 pm

British actress MINNIE DRIVER is determined not to find out the sex of her unborn baby - so she has an extra incentive during delivery.
The Good Will Hunting star believes not knowing whether her child is a boy or a girl will give her an added interest in the labour.
She says, "I’m old school, I don’t wanna know. I think you need some incentive through labour, I think you need as much encouragement as possible." But she’s sure of one thing - she’s determined to have a natural birth.
Driver, who is five months pregnant with her first child, says,"I’d really like to avoid (a caesarian). I don’t want that. I’m squeamish and I just wanna do it like women have been doing it for thousands of, millions of years."

He explains, "You’ve gotta have something in your stomach before you go up and they told me, ‘Eat bananas and peanut butter,’ and you’re like, ‘Why bananas?’ "They said, ‘Because they taste about the same coming up as they do going down.’ (It’s) very true." Vomiting aside, the actor admits his F-16 trip was a thrill ride: "It was one of the most amazing rollercoasters I’ve ever been on."

FESTIVAL BOSSES SUE ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUP

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:23 pm

Organisers of Wyoming’s Cheyenne Frontier Days festival are suing animal rights group Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) after activists pressured headliners MATCHBOX TWENTY to pull out of an appearance.

The Bent hitmakers had been scheduled to appear at the Cheyenne Frontier Days festival, billed as the world’s largest outdoor rodeo, on 18 July (08), but scrapped the show after seeing video footage of alleged animal abuse from last year’s rodeo/concert.
Frontier Days organisers estimate Matchbox Twenty’s cancellation has cost them $100,000 (GBP50,000). They are also suing SHARK bosses for persuading Carrie Underwood to abandon a 2006 Frontier Days performance under similar circumstances, according to RollingStone.com.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:41 pm

British pop star NATASHA BEDINGFIELD has vowed never to slim down to a U.S.

Drivers of London’s Underground trains are set to picket the premiere of new comedy THREE AND OUT - because the film trivialises suicide.

But the U.K.’s Aslef union has urged its members to distribute leaflets at the London premiere on Monday (21Apr08) to make it known that they are not happy with suicide being made fun of.
The leaflets read, "As you are munching your popcorn, please take a moment to think about all those people for whom railway deaths are a tragedy, not a comedy."
