SIMPSON: ‘ROMO PUTS UP WITH MY WIND’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:27 pm

Pop star-turned-country singer JESSICA SIMPSON has heaped praise on her American footballer beau TONY ROMO for sticking by her - because she constantly breaks wind in bed.
The blonde beauty, who scored her first number one country LP in the U.S.
last week (beg8Sep08), credits her NFL star boyfriend as the grounding factor in her Hollywood lifestyle.
And the star admits it can be tough for Romo to stick with her - because she is frequently gassy.
She tells People.com, "Tony is a great quarterback, but he’s a better boyfriend. Through all the chaos and torment and everything I go through, I can lay in his arms and finally rest.
"To be my man, you have to put up with a lot. I toot under the sheets, I spend a lot of money and I can belch the ABC’s."

PARKER HOPEFUL FOR SEX AND THE CITY SEQUEL

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:27 pm

Actress SARAH JESSICA PARKER has sent devoted SEX AND THE CITY fans into a frenzy of anticipation after she admitted a sequel to the movie has not been ruled out.
Fans of the show have been clamouring to see the fashionable foursome make a return to the big screen - after the first feature film stormed international box offices, grossing more than $391 million (£211.4million) since its May (08) release.
And the actress, who played Carrie Bradshaw in the hit TV series, admits a sequel to the movie is on the cards - if producers can come up with a red-hot story.
Parker tells Usmagazine.com she and writer Michael Patrick King will "have that conversation (about a sequel) sooner rather than later".
She adds: "It’s all about the story. If we can’t tell a story that’s really worthy of an audience, then we won’t do it.
"We’ve been really lucky at this point. We’ve been in people’s good graces for a long time, and we take that very seriously. So that’s the biggest challenge, the story."

MORTON JOINS CRUISE FOR HOLMES’ BROADWAY DEBUT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:24 pm

ANDREW MORTON, the author of TOM CRUISE’s controversial biography, joined the movie star and other theatre fans for KATIE HOLMES’ Broadway debut in ALL MY SONS on Thursday night (18Sep08).
Morton, whose book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography was savaged by the actor and his aides, sat several rows behind the Mission: Impossible star.
And he was impressed by Holmes’ performance in the Arthur Miller play.
He tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "She handled the stage and moved very well. She was a little stiff at times, but she was up against some big Broadway stars." But Morton, who also penned a controversial Princess Diana biography, was most taken by the reaction to Holmes as she left the theatre with her husband after her big stage debut.
He adds, "This reminds me of the Diana days or even the Beckhams." Meanwhile, Cruise wasn’t the only big movie star in the house for Holmes’ Broadway debut, opposite John Lithgow, Patrick Wilson and Diane Wiest - the actor’s Rain Man co-star Dustin Hoffman was also in the audience at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre.

The former Tommy Hilfiger and Donna Karan collaborator was 62 when she passed away on Sunday (14Sep08) at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

She moved from London to New York in the early 1980s and began a lengthy relationship with Perry Ellis, first as a model and then as a designer/photographer.
Her photography has appeared in the world’s top fashion magazines.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002 and underwent a double mastectomy. She then developed brain cancer a year later.

Karan paid tribute to Kohlman on a 2005 episode of Oprah. In a Vogue article the same year, Kohlman wrote, "I have finally realized that, at 59 years old, my breasts gone, my hair fried from radiation, a scar circling my scalp like stitches on a baseball, I am beautiful."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:18 pm

AMERICAN IDOL winner RUBEN STUDDARD will never forget meeting his wife for the first time - because it was between the aisles of U.S. budget store Wal-Mart.
Studdard was busy promoting his debut album in the retail giant’s Atlanta, Georgia store in 2006, and was approached by an autograph hunter - who turned out to be his now wife Surata Zaui McCants.
And the singer admits it was an odd first meeting, because she was there to get his signature for her best pal.
He recalls, "I was actually not shopping at all… I was promoting my album and I had an autograph signing at Wal-Mart. And so she came to get the autograph for her best friend who was a big fan of mine.
"So she was telling me a story about her friend and she said, ‘My friend loves you.’ And I said, "Well what about you? "We just became friends right after that. We hung out and maybe three months after we started (to get serious)." The couple wed in a ceremony in his native Birmingham, Alabama in June (08).

Vedder has now released the track to radio stations and Cubs legend Ernie Banks has urged Illinois DJs to play the song at every opportunity - to boost the team and its fans.
The song features lyrics like "Our heroes wear pinstripes, pinstripes in blue/Give us a chance to feel like heroes too/We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we’re in love/We are not fair-weather but foul-weather fans." The Cubs have been among the favourites to win the World Series for much of the U.S. baseball season, but they have yet to clinch a play-off berth.

BRITISH SPY SLAMS IRA FILM DIRECTOR

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:36 pm

A former spy who was the inspiration behind IRA movie FIFTY DEAD MEN WALKING has blasted the film’s director KARI SKOGLAND for allowing the terrorist organisation’s former members to provide creative input on-set.
Martin McGartland, who infiltrated the infamous Irish Republican Army (IRA), hit out after it emerged former IRA volunteers had given the crew tips on how to boost the film’s authenticity - allegedly including advice on bomb-making and torture.

Earlier this week (begs15Sep08) the movie’s producers apologised after the film’s star Rose McGowan said she would have joined the IRA if she had grown up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
