Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:45 am

BILLY CORGAN is the last Pumpkin standing - his SMASHING PUMPKINS bandmate JIMMY CHAMBERLIN has quit the group.
Corgan and Chamberlin regrouped after the band split in 2000, but pals James Iha and D’arcy Wretzky weren’t part of the new line-up.
And now Chamberlin has left the band.
The drummer joined the band Corgan founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1988 and played on all the group’s albums except 1988’s Adore.
A statement from the group’s management reads, "Corgan will continue to write and record as Smashing Pumpkins with plans to head into the studio this spring."

  • JONASES URGED TO BLESS ‘SPIRITED’ DREAM HOME

    Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:45 am

    Hollywood’s top celebrity psychic has urged the JONAS BROTHERS to bless the mansion they’re hoping to buy - because it’s full of dark spirits.
    The trio have their sights set on the former home of Tinseltown star Marion Davies, which is one of the city’s listed buildings, but psychic-to-the-stars Kenny Kingston insists the estate comes with an eerie past, including high-profile affairs, illegitimate children, outrageous parties and a mysterious fire which almost wrecked the old place 20 years ago.
    Kingston says, "I’ve visited that home and it’s frequented by spirits, good and bad.
    "Marion Davies lived there and Hollywood legend suggests (Kennedy clan patriarch) Joseph Kennedy had an affair with both her and Gloria Swanson there." After learning the Jonas Brothers had put in an offer for the Beverly Glen-area address, the psychic held a seance to ask if the spirit world had any information about the Davies home.
    He tells WENN, "I’m told a baby was conceived there; it was a boy. There were also a lot of masquerade balls that Kennedy held there and the spirits keep coming back. Not all of them are good spirits.
    "My spirits tell me the house has a history of bad health and, therefore, the Jonas boys will need to guard their health in this house. The place should be blessed before the brothers move in." Kingston, who agreed to bless the home where tragic client Marilyn Monroe died - despite warnings the actress would never be happy there, has offered to cleanse the Davis mansion for the Jonases.
    He adds, "I do this a lot for celebrities and politicians but I obviously can’t talk about it. Basically, you have to bless the place with salt, placing it around all the window sills and doorways. This helps to dispel bad spirits." The Jonas Brothers have reportedly already bought Armani Casa furniture for their new pad, which sits across the road from the family’s existing Hollywood Hills compound, even though the sale has yet to go through.
    The boys have reportedly hired top house designer Kenneth Bordewick to advise them on the decor. Sources claim Bordewick has already taken a walk around the grounds.
    The insider tells WENN, "He would have been taken aback by what he saw because a large portion of the mansion is smoke damaged from the fire. There’s a lot of mystery about the blaze. I don’t think anyone knows how it started." And Kingston fears the place is still prone to a devastating blaze.
    He explains, "While we were speaking with the spirits on Tuesday, we could smell smoke. This could just be a reminder that the house was the scene of a fire, but it’s more likely an omen of something that is to happen in the future."

  • NEW RULES IN PLACE TO AVOID ANOTHER AMERICA’S TOP MODEL RIOT

    Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:45 am

    The producers of TYRA BANKS’ hit reality TV show AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL have created a set of rules for wannabes - to avoid a repeat of the riot that broke out at a casting call last weekend (14Mar09).
    Potential contestants were waiting to try out for producers in Manhattan, New York when chaos broke out on the streets outside the Park Central New York hotel. Hundreds of people were caught up in the melee, leaving the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing.
    Two women and a man were arrested on charges of inciting to riot and disorderly conduct, and six people were injured. Police were forced to shut down the casting call.
    To avoid a repeat when America’s Next Top Model bosses stage another open call in Dallas, Texas on Saturday (21Mar09), producers insist they won’t see anyone who has been lining up overnight, or prior to 6 am, and only women competing for a part on the show can stand in line, unless they’re under 18. Teenagers will be allowed to stand with one guardian.

  • SINISE SPARKS SEABISCUIT TRANSLATION FOR IRAQI KIDS

    Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:42 am

    FORREST GUMP star GARY SINISE funded a reprint of beloved horse racing book SEABISCUIT in Arabic, so Iraqi schoolchildren can read it.
    The actor teamed up with the book’s author, Laura Hillenbrand, after learning that kids in Baghdad had become big fans of her tale of a heroic racehorse - following news from a U.S. colonel who had attempted to translate segments for them.
    Sinise tells WENN, "Laura wanted to get it translated to Arabic because one of the colonels was reading the book and the Iraqi kids started asking him about it, so he contacted her and asked for Arabic translations of the book.
    "We made 15,000 copies of Seabiscuit in Arabic and sent it over there." That project sparked a connection for Sinise and the writer and they formed Operation Iraqi Children in a bid to get vital school supplies to the children of Iraq and Afghanistan.
    The actor adds, "Over the past five years we’ve sent hundreds of thousands of supplies. Next month (Apr09) American Airlines is taking 25 tons of Operation Iraqi Children supplies over to Iraq and distributing stuff to the troops in Afghanistan to give to the kids."

    Acting legend VANESSA REDGRAVE sang an emotional rendition of the song she sang at her daughter’s first wedding - as NATASHA RICHARDSON died on Wednesday (18Mar09), according to British reports.
    Shortly before Richardson’s husband Liam Neeson made the decision to turn off the life-support machine keeping his wife alive, Redgrave, 72, sang Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Edelweiss from The Sound Of Music as she sat by her dying daughter’s bed at New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital, according to the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
    Hours later Richardson, 45, died of internal bleeding following a skiing accident.
    The publication reports Redgrave sang Edelweiss at the reception following her daughter’s first marriage to Robert Fox in 1990.
    Redgrave and Neeson were among the family and friends who gathered at the American Irish Historical Society in Manhattan on Friday (20Mar09) for the late actress’ wake.
