DiCAPRIO ROUNDS UP HOLLYWOOD BIG HITTERS FOR VOTING AD

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

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO has gathered a host of huge stars including TOM CRUISE, JULIA ROBERTS, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, HARRISON FORD and STEVEN SPIELBERG to star in a new public service announcement urging Americans to go to the polls next week (4Nov08).
DiCaprio produced and appears in the ad, which shows Hollywood’s finest contemplating Spielberg’s request that they "don’t vote" in Tuesday’s presidential election - his attempt at reverse psychology.
Roberts complains the request "doesn’t make sense"; while Timberlake replies, "I can do anything. I was in a boy band, OK?" Ford tells Spielberg, "You know what? I can’t do it. It’s not true, I don’t believe it - 537 people decided the 2000 election, and you want me to tell people that one vote doesn’t count?" The PSA also stars Ryan Reynolds and his wife Scarlett Johansson; Will Smith, Cameron Diaz, Shia LaBeouf, Snoop Dogg, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, Zach Braff and Sacha Baron Cohen as his alter ego, Borat.

LEACHMAN HAS LAST LAUGH AFTER DANCE SHOW

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

Oscar winner CLORIS LEACHMAN’s Broadway career has been boosted by her appearance on hit U.S. reality show DANCING WITH THE STARS - producers have reportedly reconsidered her for a role she was rejected for last year (07).
The 82-year-old star admitted she was "heartbroken" when she was turned down to reprise her role on hit Broadway show Young Frankenstein - the character she portrayed in the hit 1974 movie - due to fears over her age.
Producer Mel Brooks told Variety magazine at the time: "We’re afraid the show… could kill (Leachman)… We don’t want her to die onstage." Leachman was booted from Dancing With The Stars on Tuesday (28Oct08) after weeks of rigorous training in ballroom and Latin dance.
But Brooks has reportedly changed his mind despite her dismissal, impressed by the star’s stamina in the demanding numbers.
According to Broadway gossip site Billymasters.com: "Mel has reached out to Leachman to see if they could make a deal - which I’m sure has nothing to do with the show’s somewhat soft box office." A spokesperson for Leachman tells the New York Post: "Cloris has received several interesting offers. We cannot confirm that Young Frankenstein is one of them. For the time being, Cloris is focusing all her attention on dancing."

Former FRIENDS actress BONNIE SOMERVILLE feared she’d be killed by the man who robbed her and an actor pal at gunpoint earlier this month (Oct08).
Somerville, 34, and Walter Stewart were leaving an event on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on 18 October when they were confronted by a lone gunman.
The star began screaming as the assailant demanded she hand over her bag, and a struggle ensued. A shot was fired, hitting Stewart in the back.
Speaking out for the first time since the incident, Somerville tells People magazine: "We didn’t know (he) had a gun; we wouldn’t have struggled.
"(When he pointed the gun at me), my mum’s face flashed in my head - I thought I was going to die. I’m so lucky." Somerville played Mona, one-time girlfriend of David Schwimmer’s character Ross Geller, in the hit TV series.

OLSEN BOOK SIGNING SPARKS PROTEST

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:24 pm

A book-signing for fans of twin actresses MARY-KATE and ASHLEY OLSEN took an ugly turn when they were bombarded by a legion of angry protestors wearing mocking masks of the pair.
Fans lined up to meet the 22-year-old moguls, who were celebrating the release of their new coffee table book, Influence, on Tuesday (28Oct08).
But the pair were stunned to find animal rights activists shouting outside the event - part of a campaign launched by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) against the stars for their fashion choices.
A PETA spokesperson tells WENN: "People who still wear fur haven’t woken up to the fact that a big, dead animal on your back makes you look like a troll.
"Compassionate fashionistas know that real beauty comes from the heart something that the Trollsen Twins seem to lack, considering all the animals they’ve killed for their clothes."
