SAMUEL L. JACKSON makes his debut as comic book hero NICK FURY in new film

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:38 pm

IRON MAN - but only during the end credits.
Director Jon Favreau, who also has a cameo in the new Marvel Comics movie, added a short clip of Jackson, as Fury, chatting with Iron Man Robert Downey Jr at the every end of the film.
The clip didn’t feature in early press and audience screenings of the film, so as not to spoil the surprise.
Jackson has always been candid about his rumoured Nick Fury cameo in Iron Man, insisting last year he was not in the film.
He said, "Everybody keeps saying, ‘Aren’t you in Iron Man?’ and I keep going, ‘Look, the guy in the comic looks just like me and if they do cast it and they don’t cast me, there’s gonna be some problems.’ Australian journalist Adam Richard tells MovieHole.net, "The final spool of the film was not screened to journos and reviewers… It’s an awesome 40 seconds or so with Stark and Nick Fury."

Just a week after it was revealed the Ghost star has put all of his real estate into a living trust - as he continues to battle pancreatic cancer elders at the Hollywood Prayer Network have created a special prayer just for him.
The HPN’s founding director Karen Covell tells the Globe she sent Swayze a Bible last month (Mar08) in an effort to bring the ailing actor "comfort and strength".
She says, "We know he is a spiritual man, and our organisation is dedicated as a ministry for the entertainment industry." The network’s Swayze prayer, obtained by the Globe, begins, "Dear Lord, I lift up Patrick Swayze to you right now. He is a dear man… and a brilliant talent who has blessed his audiences across the globe for decades with his many gifts." The prayer continues, "I ask that You now put Your Divine arms around him as he walks through this battle with pancreatic cancer. May You give him strength, peace and joy." The tabloid’s editors are asking faithful readers to recite the lengthy prayer in the hope of helping Swayze fight and win his dire cancer fight.

MODINE SHOCKS WITH N-WORD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:35 pm

Actor MATTHEW MODINE shocked TV viewers on Tuesday (29Apr08) when he used the N-word during a political debate.
The Full Metal Jacket star appeared on America’s The Bill O’Reilly Show to talk about his work promoting liberalism.
Modine used the term after being asked his opinion of Revd. Jeremiah Wright U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama’s former pastor - who had held a press conference the day before to defend his controversial sermons.
Wright hit the headlines last month (Apr08) when it was revealed his fiery sermons included nationalist leanings and racist undertones aimed at white America.
The Chicago, Illinois minister made claims that the US government created the Aids virus to harm blacks and that the country brought the 9/11 terrorist attacks on itself.
Obama has since severed ties to Revd. Wright, who married the senator and his wife and baptised the couple’s children.
And the poltically-active Modine waded into the war of words during his chat with newsman O’Reilly.
Asked to comment on Wright’s outbursts, the actor said, "Well, I think of him as an older generation, an old American… And like my father used to say, you know, ‘uppity n**ger,’ you know, when those kind of things that older generations would say about things.
"I feel that Reverend Wright is just of that older generation. He doesn’t represent the America that we enjoy today." The racially-offensive word was bleeped out of the broadcast.

LOWE’S FORMER NANNY SOBS THROUGH PRESS CONFERENCE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:32 pm

LATEST: ROB LOWE’s former nanny broke down in tears as she faced the press on Thursday (01May08), a day after filing a countersuit against the actor and his wife.
During a press conference about her new sexual harassment allegations against the actor’s wife Sheryl, trembling Laura Boyce sobbed as she explained she felt "betrayed" and "hurt" after the Lowes named her in a recent extortion suit.
Joined by her lawyer Gloria Allred, the nanny told the press, "I am extremely upset that they would sue me after I endured what I did in their household.
"I never did anything to them other than give them my best efforts for their children." Boyce, who worked for the Lowe family last year (07), has accused Sheryl Lowe of creating an "extremely sexually offensive and hostile work environment," claiming her boss quizzed her about the size of her boyfriend’s penis and regularly paraded around the family home naked.
Rob Lowe and his wife filed lawsuits against Boyce and two other ex-employees on 7 April (08) after claiming they’re the victims of an attempted extortion scheme, led by another former nanny, Jessica Gibson.
Gibson has since filed a sexual harassment suit against the actor, claiming he touched her inappropriately and exposed his penis to her.
The Lowes vehemently deny all accusations levelled at them. A deposition of the actor and his wife has been scheduled for 19 May (08).

MOTLEY CRUE FEUD OVER

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

The members of feuding rock act MOTLEY CRUE have settled their differences after a series of legal spats and reported quits and firings in 2007.
Bassist Nikki Sixx insists getting his bandmates together in the studio to work on a new album helped to end the bickering, which started when three of the four-piece sued drummer Tommy Lee’s manager, claiming he tried to "divert revenue" from the group.
The ongoing tension led Lee to threaten to quit and Sixx to unofficially announce the drummer had left the band.
Sixx says, "Everything’s cool now. A guy named Carl Stubner… did some bad stuff. He was held accountable.
"He’s Tommy’s personal manager, and Tommy was hurt about that. But the bottom line is Motley Crue comes first. We’re a gang, not this guy who did bad stuff to Motley Crue. So he was sued.
"He settled, and I think Tommy woke up and saw the light."

A source tells the National Enquirer, "Corina (Brouder) was one of (Hasselhoff’s) personal favourites. He thought she had a lovely singing voice, and they developed a friendship."

The source adds, "They stayed at the same hotel and hit the festival two days in a row with her sister Cornelia. David looked like hell, with stitches from a wound over his left eye and a huge bruise on his arm, but he danced and embraced Corina."

DYER SLAMS ‘BORING’ BLOOM

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:35 pm

British actor DANNY DYER has launched a scathing attack on ORLANDO BLOOM, insisting the TROY star doesn’t deserve the praise awarded him.
The Football Factory star admits he is bitter by Bloom’s success and criticises his acting ability.
And Dyer - who often hits the headlines in the U.K. for poking fun at other British actors like James McAvoy - is adamant his remarks aimed at Bloom are no joke.
He says, "I do genuinely think Orlando Bloom is a c**t. I’ve never met him, but he’s in the same game as me and he’s loaded.
"I get a bit bitter, to be honest. I’m still living in the ghetto in East London and he’s earning three million quid (pounds) a film. He got lucky. He came out of drama school and got Lord Of The Rings. He wasn’t all that good in it, but it put him on the map, didn’t it? "He’s the opposite of me. He’s got no edge to him, he’s well media-trained and, basically, he’s boring. Plus, he can’t act. And to me, that’s quite an important thing for an actor."

We’ll see.
I’m very, very happy right now." Babies could be on the horizon too; Madden admits babysitting his niece Harlow - whose parents are Nicole Richie and Joel Madden - has made him broody.
He adds, "Oh yeah, I babysit all the time. I love babysitting and I’m learning everything. I can change diapers now…One of Harlow’s favourite songs is one of the songs on our record, so when I rock her to sleep, I’ll sing it to her."
