MILLER PREVENTS PARENTS WATCHING RUDE SCENES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:42 am

SIENNA MILLER can’t stand to watch her movies in the presence of her parents - because she’s embarrassed about them seeing her more intimate scenes.
The actress has bared her assets and shared a number of passionate moments in films such as Layer Cake and Alfie.
She admits her parents are proud of her acting work, but her dad, Edward, particularly hates seeing his 27-year-old daughter play raunchy or controversial roles - so she has to shield him from the clips.
She says, "My parents are very supportive of my work, but they hate seeing me die, overdose or have sex on screen. I have to cover my dad’s eyes for those parts!"

JACKSON DOCTOR ‘FELL ASLEEP’ AFTER GIVING HIM SEDATIVE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:42 am

MICHAEL JACKSON died when his personal physician DR. CONRAD MURRAY fell asleep after giving the star a powerful sedative, according to the superstar’s mother, KATHERINE.
Murray is under investigation for manslaughter as police delve deeper into the mystery surrounding the pop superstar’s tragic death.
On Wednesday (23Jul09) his offices in Houston, Texas were raided by police officers to seize all documents relating to his treatment of Jackson, including medical notes, details of any drugs he was taking, and records of prescriptions he handed out to the star.
The late King of Pop, who died of a cardiac arrest on 25 June (09), may have been left to die when Murray fell asleep after he pumped the singer with the anaesthetic Propofol, which is central to his death enquiry.
According to British newspaper The Sun, Jackson’s plastic surgeon and former medic, Dr Steven Hoefflin, who treated the star up until 2002, has made the claims on Katherine’s behalf.
The Jackson matriarch insists her son was drug-free three months before his death, but he was so scared about his scheduled 50-date comeback tour at London’s O2 Arena that he turned to medics, who gave him a number of narcotics.
Hoefflin has viewed documents that reportedly list the drugs the star had taken, and claims Murray gave Jackson Propofol via an intravenous drip every night.
The close family friend says, "Michael was incredibly desperate to get to sleep. I believe the physician Dr Conrad Murray was hired by Michael with the sole purpose of giving him Propofol at bedtime. Michael referred to that drug by the name Milk, as it looks milky. I have been told this by the family and, if you know anything about the drug - which should not be administered by anyone other than a trained anaesthesiologist and in a clinical setting - this is insane and dangerous.
"My opinion is Dr Murray could have fallen asleep on the night Michael died while the IV drip administering Propofol was in Michael’s arm."

HUDSON IN RODRIGUEZ CAR SCRAPE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:39 am

Baseball star ALEX RODRIGUEZ had a furious bust-up with a pal of KATE HUDSON - after she smashed up his car.
The sports ace - nicknamed A-Rod - has been romantically linked to the You, Me and Dupree actress since they were spotted enjoying a romantic night out in New York earlier this month (Jul09).
She was also seen cheering him on during several of his New York Yankees games, surround by close friends.
But Rodriguez had a falling out with one of Hudson’s pals after she reportedly shunted his car as she gave Hudson a ride.
A source tells RadarOnline.com, "Kate Hudson’s girlfriend, the one she is seen with at Yankee games, has been driving his Suburban with Kate every morning, bright and early, to get coffee.
"A short time later the friend pulled around the car for Alex. As soon as he saw the rear of the vehicle and the damage done, he had her get out of the car and started talking about her reckless driving.
"He was visibly upset. The crash was so bad the license plate was obscured. He was ranting and raving while she stood there sheepishly."

BRITISH MONARCHY GET PRIVATE BRUNO SCREENING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:39 am

Members of the British monarchy have requested a private screening of SACHA BARON COHEN’s controversial movie BRUNO.
The funnyman stars in the film as his gay Austrian fashionista alter-ego, which has sparked a number of criticisms due to its explicit content.
Ukrainian authorities have banned Bruno because they believe it will "damage the morality" of locals, while Cohen has reportedly received death threats for ridiculing an Islamic group in one of the scenes.
But despite its graphic and outrageous content, the picture will be screened at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after Universal Studios received an email from Buckingham Palace requesting a copy earlier this week (beg20Jul09).
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "We often get emails from important people requesting prints for private screenings. But when we realised it was for the Royals there were a few chuckles. It isn’t for the faint-hearted." It is not known which members of the British monarchy will view the film.

COHEN RECEIVES DEATH THREATS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:39 am

SACHA BARON COHEN is reportedly fearing for his life after receiving death threats, believed to be from a terrorist group.
The British funnyman has sparked controversy worldwide following the release of his movie Bruno, based on his outrageous Austrian fashionista alter-ego.
Cohen has been forced to step up security to protect himself and his family after his lawyers reportedly confirmed he is being targeted by a group "that has claimed responsibility for recent terrorist attacks", according to Britain’s Daily Star.
In the film, the 37 year old is kidnapped by the armed Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and is seen ridiculing the Islamic group’s ‘leader’ Ayman Abu Aita in one of the scenes.
But Aita claims he was duped into the interview under false pretences and insists that he is no longer involved with the group.
In a statement, the Martyrs’ Brigade says, "This was a dirty use of our brother Ayman and we don’t accept that the name of the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade is part of the movie. We reserve the right to respond in the way that we feel suitable." A spokesperson for Cohen says, "I don’t know anything about this."

DIDDY HOLDS BACK NEW ALBUM

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:36 am

Rap mogul SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS has pushed back the release of his new album LAST TRAIN TO PARIS because he refuses to compete against upcoming releases from JAY-Z and hip-hop newcomer DRAKE.
The Bad Boy Records boss was due to drop his forthcoming disc in September (09), and while he admits the project is "coming", he has stopped short of announcing a new date for the album.
Combs admits the huge anticipation for his pal Jay-Z’s long-awaited Blueprint 3 and Lil Wayne’s protege Drake’s debut Thank Me Later - both slated for autumn releases - has played a part in his decision to delay his own material.
He tells MTV.com, "We just vibing and making music, having a good time. The Train is coming… It’s coming, it’s coming. Right now, it’s like Jay-Z time and Drake time. Enjoy those guys. But the Train is coming."

NICK HOGAN SUES OVER FAILED INVESTMENT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:36 am

HULK HOGAN’s son NICK is taking legal action against two businessmen he claims ran up an $80,000 (£53,000) bill on his credit card without permission.
The 18 year old has filed suit against Louis Adkinson and Damon Elliot citing breach of contract after he handed over $50,000 (£34,000) to launch record production company Confidential South, LLC in January (09).
Hogan alleges both men agreed to invest their own $50,000 shares and even claimed investors would be refunded if the firm failed - which Hogan insists it did.
The teen is also suing for fraud, charging Adkinson and Elliot with using his American Express credit card to charge $80,767.75 (£53,845) without his permission.
The Hogan Knows Best reality star is seeking compensation for the $130,000 (£87,000).

CHANNING APPROVES OF DEPP’S WISH TO PLAY HER

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:12 am

Musical legend CAROL CHANNING has given her blessing to JOHNNY DEPP’s gender-bending plans to portray her in a film.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star regularly changes his appearance for films, and even dressed as a woman in 1994’s comedy Ed Wood.
Earlier this month (Jul09) he revealed his "dream role" would be to play 88-year-old Channing because "she’s amazing".
And the legendary singer/actress has given her approval - because she’d love to see how he would interpret her on the big screen.
She says, "It is not a new concept to me. Not at all. Men have been imitating me for as long as I can remember. In fact, most of the impersonations I have seen have had a five o’clock shadow.
"I imagine, when or if Johnny should portray me, he will succeed. Because a true artist, such as himself, is one who loves his or her creation and therefore represents their honest view of that which they are creating. I think he is a gifted performer and I would be very proud, as well as interested in seeing what his vision of me would be."

FAMILY ACCEPTED BHATTI AS JACKSON’S SON

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 am

MICHAEL JACKSON’s ‘fourth child’ OMER BHATTI was accepted as the star’s biological son by the rest of the Jacksons, according to reports.
The 25-year-old dancer was allegedly born after the King of Pop had a one night stand in 1984, and he is now seeking a DNA test to verify whether Jackson is in fact his father.
The claims that Bhatti is the Thriller hitmaker’s son have been further fuelled after it emerged he was granted a special seat during Jackson’s memorial ceremony at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on 7 July (09).
Bhatti sat alongside the star’s siblings, parents and his ‘official’ children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II aka ‘Blanket’, seven at the event.
The idea that the Norwegian, known as ‘Michael J’, is the star’s child was largely accepted by his family, and he is expected to be provided for when Jackson’s will is untangled.
A family friend tells MSNBC.com, "He looked so much like Michael, especially when he was younger. We have every reason to believe it’s his son."

JACKSON’S EX-NUTRITIONIST QUESTIONED

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 am

MICHAEL JACKSON’s former nutritionist is the latest person to be questioned in connection with the star’s sudden death.
Cherilyn Lee, who treated the King of Pop shortly before his death last month (Jun09), has been subpoenad to provide records detailing her treatment of the star.
Los Angeles County Coroner’s officials visited Lee at her offices in Inglewood, Los Angeles on Wednesday (22Jul09) to question her.
Lee’s spokeswoman, Belinda Foster, insists the nutritionist is co-operating with enquiries but she received the official summons because of her records are protected by law.
Lee claims Jackson persistently asked her to give him the powerful anaesthetic propofol, which is central to his death enquiry, but she refused to give it to him.
The subpoena came shortly after Los Angeles police officials raided the offices of the singer’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, as part of their ongoing investigation.

BLANKET’S MOTHER ‘DISCOVERED’ BY U.S. TABLOID

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:09 am

The mother of MICHAEL JACKSON’s youngest child PRINCE MICHAEL II is a Norwegian dental hygienist he met on vacation in Tunisia, according to sensational U.S. tabloid reports.
Jackson never disclosed the identity of seven-year-old ‘Blanket’’s true mother, revealing only that he was born to an anonymous surrogate.
Star magazine claims she is close friend Pia Bhatti, who agreed to donate her eggs to the superstar after befriending him through her son Omer - who found fame as an impersonator of the King of Pop, and later became known as his ‘fourth child’.
Omer captivated Jackson when they met in the African country in 1996, through the then-12 year old’s ability to mimic him and his dance moves.
The singer took the child on tour with him and his family moved to live with Jackson at his Neverland Ranch.
Star’s report alleges Jackson struck up a deal with Pia Bhatti to provide him with a third child, alongside son Prince Michael, 12, and daughter Paris, 11, and she promised to keep her identity a secret.
A source tells the magazine, "Pia was sworn to secrecy about Blanket.
"The agreement she had with Michael was that she would never reveal herself to be Blanket’s mum." When approached by Star reporters, Bhatti refused to comment on the claims.
Omer, meanwhile, is the subject of a separate report suggesting he is Jackson’s biological son.
The claims are fuelled by the 25 year old’s presence at the King of Pop’s July (09) memorial service, where he sat on the front row with the Jackson family.

HOUSTON’S DAUGHTER ENCOURAGED COMEBACK

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:06 am

WHITNEY HOUSTON credits her teenage daughter with giving her the confidence to make a musical comeback.
The legendary singer is preparing for the release of her highly-anticipated comeback album, I Look to You, this September (09) - her first album in six years.
The star admits she planned to retire from pop - until 15-year-old Bobbi Kristina convinced her she had the talent and strength to return.
The 44 year old says, "She was with me every step of the way: ‘Mom, you can do this.’ When I get discouraged and I get like, ‘This is tiring, this is wearing me out, I’m just not at that point,’ she’d just go, ‘No, mom, you can do this, get up, get up. She encourages me and inspires me, when I look at her and I look at her eyes and I see myself, I go, ‘OK, I can do this. I can do this.’"

Frehily tells Blabbermouth.net, "The biggest problem with the smoking guitar thing now is the fire marshals. So right now, I’m working on a miniature fog machine that goes in the guitar."

NAS BANNED FROM KELIS’ BIRTH BECAUSE HE WAS ‘DRUNK’ - REPORTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:06 am

Rapper NAS was banned from witnessing the birth of his baby boy with KELIS because he was too drunk, according to a U.S. report.
The Milkshake hitmaker went into labour on Tuesday morning (21Jul09) and was admitted to a New York hospital.
Her former partner turned up at the clinic in the early hours of Wednesday (22Jul09) morning and attempted to go to Kelis’ bedside - but staff turned him away, reportedly because he was under the influence of alcohol.
The hip-hop star had been performing in New York earlier in the night, where he announced to fans in the crowd that he was drunk on champagne, according to TMZ.com.
However, Nas is refusing to let the dismissal dampen his celebrations, as he announced his happy news in a video posted online on Tuesday.
In the clip, Nas tells fans: "My son is (sic) born today, so shout-out to my son, Knight. That’s what I named the young God, Knight. Y’all heard it first." The former couple is in the middle of divorce proceedings and were due to appear in court on Tuesday to negotiate the terms of their marriage split. However, they were both excused by court officials in light of the baby’s birth.
The baby will be Nas’ second child - he also has a teenage daughter, Destiny, from a previous relationship.
