KILMER RELISHED BATHTUB DEATH SCENE IN THE DOORS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:33 pm

VAL KILMER couldn’t wait to die in THE DOORS - because he was tired of playing rock legend JIM MORRISON.
The movie star admits reliving The Doors singer’s life took a huge toll on him, and he relished the bathtub death scene in the Oliver Stone biopic because he knew it would be the last thing he’d have to do as the tragic rocker.
He tells WENN, "I was relieved to die in The Doors, just so I didn’t have to do anything else.
"Jim Morrison was such a great character but such a tragic guy. He wasn’t that much fun. He was goofing around a lot but that’s coming out of a lot of turmoil with his behaviour that was so extreme.
"Plus Jim Morrison just jumped off the stage once a night. I had to do it 15 times in a row.
"It (the role) took it’s toll physically, so I remember being in that bathtub for the death scene thinking, `Ah, this is great! I hope I don’t breathe and blow the shot because I was very happy to die."

ROCKING RUSSELL HOOKED ON LOOKING GOOD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:30 pm

Rocker JACK RUSSELL is a whole new guy after taking charge of his drug abuse problems - nowadays he’s hooked on walking and cosmetic surgery.
The Great White frontman has been dealing with his demons ever since a nightclub fire tragedy in 2003, which killed 100 fans and friends, left him facing his personal problems - and now he admits his obsessions are much healthier than they once were.
After undergoing a facelift on U.S. TV show Extra in 2006, Russell is committed to using technology to help him look good at 47.
He tells WENN, "I’ve done some other stuff. I had some hair transplants done.
I had some of my hair in the back more strategically located and I got rid of the wave I was wearing for years.
"I had my teeth done - I had some bad crowns.
"I was like, `What the hell!’ technology’s out there and I wanna look and feel as good as I can at 47." And he insists he’ll never hide his nips and tucks: "I did the TV show because I just didn’t want people to ask me, `Did you have a facelift?’ "I didn’t want to be one of those guys who said, `Oh, I stopped drinking,’ or, `I’m using a cool face cream.’ There are all these people who have obviously had something done - they look like a totally different person - and then they’re lying about it. I mean, come on!" And Russell also enjoys a good walk: "I walk, like, five miles a day and I’ve gotten down to my perfect weight again. I was up to 205 pounds at my largest, and now I’m down to 145."
