WILLIAMS SHOCKS WITH LATE-NIGHT TV ANTICS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:33 pm

Funnyman ROBIN WILLIAMS stunned late-night TV viewers in America on Wednesday (26Aug09) by pretending to snort cocaine and masturbate during an appearance on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! The actor/comedian made his entrance on the show by picking up Kimmel’s pen and pretending to hoover a line of coke from the host’s desk up his nose.
A chuckling Kimmel said, "I know they told you to stop doing that." The Mrs. Doubtfire star also shocked as he talked about recent surgery to replace a heart valve, joking he had a baboon heart switch - and then pretending he had side effects as he started pretending to masturbate.
Censors had to pixelate his actions for the airing of the show.
Williams actually had a pig’s valve fitted and quipped, "It’s great because you can find truffles." The funnyman also joked the surgery has put him off eating meat - because every time he starts to eat a burger, the "heart goes ‘You’re one of us now.’" The censors were also button happy as Williams started talking about vaginas, suggesting "Tiny Vagina would be a good stripper’s name".

DIRECTOR IMPRESSED WITH WILLIAMS’ MANHOOD

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

Comedian and moviemaker BOBCAT GOLDTHWAITE has revealed best pal ROBIN WILLIAMS is a member of Hollywood’s well-hung club after shooting the Oscar winner waxed and naked in new film WORLD’S GREATEST DAD.
Williams, who is famously hirsute, insisted on stripping for a scene in the film and wowed cast and crew by keeping his clothes off for the day.
Police Academy star Goldthwaite was so impressed with his pal and star’s manhood, he can’t understand why Williams doesn’t bare all in every film.
The director says, "I spent the whole day with Robin… He’s bottomless for the whole day on the set and I was like, ‘Why are you insecure…?’ If I was hung like him I wouldn’t have pants on right now.
"Honestly, if that was me, I’d just be, like, walking around: ‘How do you like me now, b**ches?’" But Williams’ daughter was a little shocked to see her father naked on the big screen at the film’s premiere.
Goldthwaite adds, "She goes, ‘Thanks for the heads up I was going to see my dad’s hog.’" Williams admits he felt he had to wax his torso for the naked scene - because he looked awful when he stripped for a scene in The Fisher King.
He explains, "I shaved because if you don’t, it’s, like, animal-rights issues.
"I did a nude scene in Fisher King; it was Central Park, I was a homeless guy, so I was covered in dirt and really hairy, and it was like, ‘Is that Bigfoot? What happened?’"

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:27 pm

BATMAN & ROBIN star ALICIA SILVERSTONE can’t wait to become a mum - so she can write children’s books.
The actress admits she has great ideas for kids books, but fears parents won’t put her at the top of bestsellers lists until she’s a mother herself.
The 32-year-old star, who is married to musician Chris Jarecki, insists she had "baby fever" since she was two and the couple is considering starting a family in 2010.
She says, "I think I might be ready maybe next year." And she tells Health magazine that she plans to start writing as soon as motherhood kicks in: "I have a lot to say about kids, but I don’t think anyone wants to hear that when you don’t have them.
"So I want to have kids and go through, ideally, a whole natural childbirth experience."

CLOONEY BREAKS HAND IN CAR ACCIDENT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:57 pm

GEORGE CLOONEY is laughing off reports he broke his hand in a dangerous motorcycle accident - revealing he mangled his appendage in a car door.
Clooney, 49, was treated earlier this month (Aug09) at the private Ars Medica clinic in Switzerland, a short drive from his Lake Como, Italy, holiday home.
European media reports suggested the actor, 49, was riding his Harley Davidson around Lake Lugano, at the border of Italy and Switzerland, with girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis when fell off, injuring himself.
However, the actor has laughed off the incident as nothing more than a clumsy accident.
His spokesperson tells People.com, "There was an accident and he did break his hand. He was not riding a motorcycle, it was not in Switzerland … He was on his property in Italy and he shut the car door on his hand.
"The doctor has given him 30-40 years more to live, and no live animals were harmed during the wrapping of the hand." It’s not the actor’s first car-related injury - Clooney and then-girlfriend Sarah Larson were treated for broken bones nearly two years ago when their motorcycle collided with a car in New Jersey.

BRITNEY SPEARS has called off her romance with her longtime agent JASON TRAWICK, according to a new report.
The Toxic singer is said to have asked Trawick for some time for herself after the couple’s relationship began to turn serious as he accompanied the pop star on her Circus world tour.

Jason was disappointed, but he understood." Trawick was spotted entertaining a group of female admirers during a night out in Hollywood last weekend (21Aug09) as Spears prepared to perform three consecutive concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
But the insider suggests it might not be the end for the couple, adding, "Jason’s always loved her, (even) since the Justin Timberlake days, so he won’t let her go easily. He’s giving her space - that’s what she’s asked for."

HECHE’S EX FIGHTS BACK AGAINST ‘LAZY-A**’ COMMENTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:54 pm

ANNE HECHE’s ex husband COLEY LAFFOON is fuming after the actress branded him a "lazy-a**" during a U.S. TV interview.
Laffoon filed for divorce in February 2007 after five years of marriage but the pair’s messy divorce was only finalised last March (09).
The star made it obvious their split has been anything but amicable during an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday (26Aug09), complaining about the $3,700 (GBP2,470) per month child support she gives Laffoon for their seven-year-old son Homer.
In a sarcastic rant Heche explained how Laffoon makes a living: "Can you say ‘lazy a**’ on TV?… He goes out to the mailbox and he opens up the little mailbox door and goes, ‘Oh! I got a cheque from Anne! Oh! I got a cheque from Anne! Yay!’" Laffoon, a 35-year-old real-estate agent, isn’t amused by his ex’s cutting comments.
He tells Usmagazine.com, "After coming home from showing two different clients two different condominiums, I was disturbed to see Anne taking out her personal frustration on the father of her child on national television." Heche is currently dating her former Men In Trees co-star James Tupper - with whom she recently had her second son, Atlas.

WILLIAMS MOVED AND HUMBLED BY HEART SURGERY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:51 pm

Funnyman ROBIN WILLIAMS got serious on late-night TV in America on Wednesday (26Aug09) as he revealed how grateful and humble he feels after heart surgery gave him a new lease of life earlier this year (09).
The Mrs. Doubtfire star had to cut short a stand-up comedy tour to replace a heart valve after doctors revealed the breathing problems he was experiencing at shows were deadly serious.
Appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show, the usually raucous Williams took a moment to tell the host how coming so close to death had made him truly appreciate the small things in life.
He said, "You appreciate everything. Big time. Friends, family, everything; you just kind of look at it (and) the gratitude is instantaneous… It is this thing of realising it is pretty precious, life.
"The surgery alone, it kind of humbles you… You’re back and you just go, ‘Man, I’m so grateful’.
"And the simplest things, like talking to friends and being with family… it really means something when you come back because you realise, ‘Everyone of you means something to me.’ It’s really special."

I’m suggesting that in 100 years, this book will be a new religion on the earth. Now you talk about controversy, there’s some Christian ministries if you go online, look up some ministers, they dissing right now. ‘Who the hell does he think he is?’ Well, I think I have the authority to approach God directly, I don’t have to go through any religion (or) train of thought. I can approach God directly myself and so I wrote a book called ‘The Gospel Of Hip Hop’ to free from all this nonsense garbage right now. Respect (to) the Christianity, the Islam, the Judaism but their time is up."

STUMP ‘LEARNED HIS LESSON’ AFTER ARREST

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:48 pm

FALL OUT BOY frontman PATRICK STUMP has spoken out following his arrest for a traffic violation, and the shy frontman insists he’s ‘learned his lesson’.
The lead singer was taken into custody on Tuesday night (25Aug09) in Beverly Hills, California for an outstanding traffic warrant.
Stump was held on a $15,000 (GBP9,375) bond and released from jail after four hours.
Speaking for the first time since his brush with the law, Stump vows to leave the headline-grabbing antics to his other bandmates Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley.
He says, "All I really have to say is ignorance of the law isn’t innocence. I didn’t want to give up my Illinois driver’s license and was unaware that was a crime. It is, by the way, in the state of California. Lesson learned. I technically broke a law, so technically I deserve whatever I get. But man, is my mum gonna be pissed." Stump faces a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 (GBP670) fine if convicted.
