WINEHOUSE SPLASHES OUT ON BEAUTY TREATMENTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:42 pm

Recovering drug addict AMY WINEHOUSE has found a new way to splash her cash - treating herself to expensive beauty treatments at her luxury Caribbean holiday resort.
The Rehab hitmaker has been enjoying a sunshine break in St. Lucia since December (08) and has gradually curbed her partying ways.
The manager of the luxury hotel where Winehouse is recuperating has revealed that the singer spends every day in the hotel’s skin clinic or spa in an attempt to reverse some of the damage drugs and drink have done to her body.
Manager Andrew Barnard says, "We had Amy on a diet and exercise programme as she really wasn’t well when she came to us. But now she’s mentally and physically stronger. She’s had lots of treatments too and is really looking good." At the beginning of her stay at the exclusive Le Sport spa hotel, there were reports of Winehouse causing havoc and stealing other guests’ drinks, but Barnard says she’s curbed her ways.
He says, "At the beginning Amy was a difficult guest but she’s actually quite charming."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:39 pm

Actor EDDIE MURPHY has agreed to pay out $51,000 (£35,000) a month in child support to his former lover, singer MELANIE BROWN.
The former Spice Girl hit the headlines in 2006 after embarking on a short fling with the Beverly Hills Cop star and falling pregnant with his child.
Murphy sparked a war of words with Brown following their break-up when he suggested it was possible he wasn’t the father of the baby.
He subsequently took a DNA test which determined daughter Angel Iris - born on Murphy’s birthday, 3 April 2007 - was in fact his.
British tabloid the News of the World has revealed that Dr Doolittle star Murphy has agreed to a support package totalling more than $10 million (£7 million), following a 15 month court battle in Los Angeles.

GREEN’S GOOGLE HORROR

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:39 pm

Actress EVA GREEN once Googled herself - and was horrified to discover an online discussion about her nipples.
The James Bond star was curious to see what was being written about her on the web and tapped her name into the Internet search engine.
The 28-year-old found a chat room dedicated to her and learned that her breasts were the main topic of conversation - and Green has sworn never to look herself up online again.
She tells Britain’s GQ magazine, "It was when (2003 film) The Dreamers came out and I googled myself. My ego drove me to it. It was an insane thing to do. Then I saw that weird discussion and decided never to do it again. People can get very mean. They get angry even if it’s just a dress you wore that they didn’t like.
"It’s actually quite masochistic to google yourself because you know that not everyone is going to like you. Or your nipples."

DAVIS STRUGGLED WITH LESBIAN SCENES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:36 pm

Former BEVERLY HILLS, 90210 actress JOSIE DAVIS struggled with sex scenes in her new movie THE TROUBLE WITH ROMANCE - because she had to make love to another woman.
Davis bared all for harrowing scenes in Nicolas Cage’s directorial debut Sonny, but a lesbian encounter with co-star Portia Dawson in her new film almost proved too much for her.
She tells WENN, "The kissing of the girl was very odd for me. It was the first time I ever kissed a girl and I was kind of nervous about it and it was awkward.
"It was really hot on the set, temperature wise; I think it was 103 degrees or something, and I had this girl on top of me with this long hair and it was in my face and we’re sticky and sweaty and she was dripping on me. It was just ridiculous.
"I’m not into girls and the scene was not easy for me. It was definitely a challenge. I hear other girls who say, ‘Oh, I just do it.’ I think they were out drinking or something."

RAMSAY IN WATCHDOG PROBE AFTER CURSING RECORD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:33 pm

Ofcom has now asked Britain’s Channel 4 - which aired the show - why the curse-fuelled programme was allowed to air.

GIBB FATHERS LOVECHILD WITH HOUSEKEEPER

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:30 pm

Former BEE GEES star ROBIN GIBB has fathered a child with his live-in housekeeper - enraging his wife despite their open marriage.
Gibb, 59, is reported to have had a child named Snow Robin with lover Claire Yang, 33.
His wife, Dwina - who is openly bisexual - practices a form of Hinduism called Brahman which requires her to abstain from sex, so allowed Gibb to bed other women.
She gave her blessing to the eight year affair between the pair, but decided a baby was one step too far and has thrown Yang out of the family home.
A friend tells British tabloid the Sunday Mirror, "It’s an incredibly unusual arrangement. At first, Dwina was happy for Robin to sow his oats because it allowed her to stay committed to her Brahman beliefs, but she never expected him to actually plant his seed as it were." Yang and the baby, born on 04 November (08), have now moved five miles down the road from the Gibbs’ mansion in Oxfordshire and the Stayin’ Alive hitmaker makes regular visits.
