RADCLIFFE’S STUNT DOUBLE ‘PARALYSED’

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

DANIEL RADCLIFFE’s stunt double wept after he was told he will never walk again following an accident on the set of the new HARRY POTTER movie, according to reports.
David Holmes was hospitalised in January (09) with a back injury after falling from a harness at Leavesden Studios, near Watford, Hertfordshire, where he was practising flying scenes for the forthcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The 25-year-old had surgery at the hospital, which specialises in spinal injuries.
Holmes’ family published a message on his personal Facebook page to let friends know he was confident of a recovery: "David wants to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and wishes. And don’t worry… the stunt-runt will be back." But now doctors have delivered the devastating news that Holmes will be confined to a wheelchair and will never be able to walk again, according to Britain’s The People newspaper.
A source tells the publication, "David is struggling to come to terms with the news. It’s terrible news but his family and friends are trying to offer him as much support as they can.
"He is young and was very good at his job. But his life will be completely altered now." But Holmes refuses to give up hope, despite the doctors’ diagnosis.
The source adds, "Although David has been told he’ll never walk again he is still not giving up hope. Deep down he knows it’s unlikely but it’s still early days and so he’s not giving up completely."

LOHAN ARREST WARRANT ‘MISUNDERSTANDING’

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

The warrant issued for the arrest of LINDSAY LOHAN was "born out of a misunderstanding", according to the actress’ legal team.
Los Angeles authorities issued the warrant for the Mean Girls star on Friday (13Mar09) in relation to her 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction, which saw her sentenced to 24 hours in jail.
And now Lohan could be subject to arrest if police catch up with her.
Beverly Hills Police Lieutenant Mark Rosen says, "We are not actively looking for Ms. Lohan at this time. We are not anticipating her surrender this weekend. But if she comes in contact with police, she’s subject to arrest.
"As for why we’re not actively looking for her, that’s not our procedure for this type of warrant. Her attorney is hoping to resolve this issue in the coming week. If it’s not resolved, I’m sure we’ll negotiate her voluntary surrender." But the star’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, has played down the incident: "Since her case was resolved, Ms. Lohan has been in compliance with all the terms and conditions of her probation and all orders of the court. The warrant issued on Friday was, in our view, born out of a misunderstanding which I am confident I can clear up next week." Lohan is expected to attend a hearing on Monday (16Feb09) morning in a Beverly Hills court.
Los Angeles DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says, "The judge apparently has indicated that Ms. Lohan should be in attendance." The 22-year-old is currently serving a three-year probation term for the 2007 DUI incident.
