PETA SEND OUT LETTERS TO CELEBRITY ARMANI FANS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:42 pm

Animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is urging stars who wore Armani to the Emmy Awards on Sunday (21Sep08) to boycott the designer after he chose not to honour a 2007 promise to stop using fur.
Giorgio Armani told Time magazine "I spoke with the people from PETA, and they showed me some materials that convinced me not to use fur", but his latest collection features fur coats for babies, floral-printed fur coats and other furry accessories, upsetting the people at PETA.
The organisation’s vice-president Dan Mathews has already written to celebrity Armani fans like Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey, urging them not to buy or promote the designer’s wares.
In a letter sent to Cruise, Mathews writes, "Please be vigilant about any packages that Armani sends for Suri, as they could include bunny fur from his toddler lines.
"We imagine that Suri, like other children, has a natural affinity for animals, which is why we find it shocking that Armani is not only breaking his fur-free promise but also trying to lure children into fashion derived from skinned rabbits." And now Mathews is sending letters to Kristin Chenoweth, Glenn Close, and Heidi Klum, who all wore Armani to the Emmys.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:42 pm

GREY’S ANATOMY star PATRICK DEMPSEY has apologised to U.S. politician HILLARY CLINTON for jokes made at her expense in his recent movie MADE OF HONOR.
The film opened with a gag about Clinton’s husband Bill’s affair with intern Monica Lewinsky and the actor insists he felt uncomfortable about the scene because he knew the New York senator is a fan of his work.
And Dempsey even tried to persuade the film’s director to cut the jokes from the picture.
He says, "I felt quite bad and wanted to speak to Hillary about it, knowing that she’s a huge fan of (TV show) Grey’s Anatomy and has been going to see my movies since day one, but I just didn’t have the heart.
"So I want to say, ‘I’m sorry Hillary that I didn’t warn you about what was going to happen. I tried to get the scenes cut, only I didn’t win the battle.’"

Hefner tells America’s OK! magazine, "Palin would make a great centrefold. I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about a really sexy-looking woman wearing glasses. Imagine what she’s like when those glasses come off. It would be a new definition of the word vice in vice president."

GAY LEADERS APPLAUD AIKEN FOR ‘COMING OUT’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:36 pm

CLAY AIKEN’s decision to ‘come out’ to America’s People magazine has thrilled the nation’s leading gay rights organisation.
The singer, a new dad, has revealed he’s gay in the new issue of the publication, declaring, "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things," and officials at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) are saluting Aiken for going public with his sexuality after years of speculation.
President Neil G. Giuliano says, "We congratulate Clay for making this decision and for setting an example for others and his family. As we’re seeing, more and more gay people, including celebrities, are living openly and honestly, and this has tremendous impact in terms of creating awareness, understanding and acceptance.” And former ‘N SYNC star Lance Bass, who ‘came out’ in People magazine in 2006, is also applauding Aiken for the big reveal and insists his fellow singer will appreciate he’s made the right decision in the months ahead.
Bass says, "Everyone’s going to be very supportive and he’s going to be the happiest he’s ever been.” And going gay might even boost his fan appeal: "I swear when I came out, I had more female fans.” Meanwhile, Simon Cowell, Aiken’s former mentor on talent show American Idol, insists the news is far from a shock to him.
The sarcastic music mogul says, "It’s like being told Santa Claus isn’t real.
Unbelievable.” Cowell adds, "Good for him… I don’t think anyone cares (that Aiken is gay).
Let’s face it, it’s 2008. Who cares?”

OSBOURNE URGES AMERICAN WOMEN NOT TO VOTE FOR PALIN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:36 pm

Rock matriarch-turned-reality show queen SHARON OSBOURNE is urging Americans not to vote for U.S. Vice-President hopeful SARAH PALIN - because the Republican nomination of the Alaskan Governor is just a desperate ploy to win women’s votes.
The Brit, who fronts U.S. talent show America’s Got Talent, was astonished when Palin was named as Senator John McCain’s running mate and she hopes American women aren’t stupid enough to vote for her.
Outspoken Osbourne says, "I’m shocked and stunned about this lady… It reminds me of, like, a hokey Disney movie… where somebody from nowhere suddenly ends up ruling the world.
"I don’t know her, I’ve never met her, but come on! You cannot (vote for her).
"It’s like they were scouring America for a woman… ‘Just find us a woman, anywhere, that we can have next to him, so that it looks good.’ They scoured America and the last stop before you do fall off America is Alaska, and she was iced, waiting.
"They want the women to vote for her but women aren’t that stupid."

COYLE BLAMES METCALFE SPLIT ON AGE GAP

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:30 pm

GIRLS ALOUD star NADINE COYLE puts her split from actor JESSE METCALFE down to the eight-year age-gap - insisting she was too young to settle down.
The Irish singer, now 23, began dating the former Desperate Housewives star in 2006 but they split a year later (07).
And Coyle admits that the relationship didn’t work out because she didn’t feel ready to get married and have children with the star.
She writes in the band’s new autobiography, Dreams That Glitter, "I was 20 when I met him and any talk about a permanent future just seemed very alien to me. Something I wasn’t ready for. He was 28 and wanted to settle down and have a wife and a family.
"I was just too young to think about settling down."

O’DAY LASHES OUT OVER HILTON COMPARISONS

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

DANITY KANE singer AUBREY O’DAY has lashed out at PARIS HILTON - because she’s tired of finding herself compared to the socialite in public.
The blonde star admits she’s often mistaken for hotel heiress Hilton when she carries around her tiny white pooch, Ginger - whom she often dresses up and totes around town.
But O’Day insists the "horrible" comparisons to Hilton - who’s been slammed for reportedly neglecting her menagerie of tiny animals - is unwarranted.
She tells U.S. magazine OK!: "Whenever I carry my dog around, people say ‘Paris Hilton.’ That’s horrible because I absolutely love my dog and I’m nothing like that girl. Like, nobody can have a dog? I think any white girl with blonde hair who carries around a dog is compared to Paris Hilton. I’m not concerned with who people think I am. I’m just concerned that people know who I am."

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

It is something he has already done." But Edwards - who played Dr. Mark Greene in the show for eight years - is hoping the star will change his mind.
He tells Us Weekly magazine, "He’d be a fool not to do it." Dr. Greene died of a brain tumour during season eight. He will appear in flashback scenes in the 15th and final season.
