KEANE EYE OASIS COLLABORATION

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:42 pm

British rockers KEANE are eager to settle their ongoing feud with OASIS - because they want to collaborate with the WONDERWALL hitmakers.
Noel Gallagher has previously been vocal about his his dislike of the Somewhere Only We Know stars, declaring, “No matter what direction Keane take, they’ll still be s**t.” Keane pianist Tim Rice-Oxley hit back at the guitarist, ranting, "Noel’s a c**t. He was in a band that was very brilliant in the mid-90s but now they’re just not important anymore." But the band’s frontman Tom Chaplin has now reached out to Gallagher in a bid to put their long and bitter feud behind them.
He tells Britain’s Daily Star newspaper, “I often wonder if Noel is almost resisting the truth that Keane and Oasis are alike in a lot of respects. I think we share a lot of fans. We are both bands of the people.
“People love coming to a Keane show and an Oasis show because there’s a directness to the songs and people come together in a very communal way.
“It would be great for Noel to produce us - I offer the olive branch. We’re huge fans."

BARKER THREATENED WITH ARREST - REPORT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:36 pm

Police issued a warning to TRAVIS BARKER after he refused to leave his ex-wife’s home in a dispute over their children, according to a new report.
Barker’s on/off relationship with Shanna Moakler heated up once again on Monday (24Aug09) as the Blink-182 rocker arrived at the former beauty queen’s Rhode Island home to drop off his son Landon, five, and daughter Alabama, three.
According to Life & Style magazine, the argument escalated after Barker insisted his nanny should remain with the children and Moakler turned down her help.
A source tells the publication, "He started screaming and wouldn’t leave the kids with her." Moakler then called the cops after the drummer wouldn’t depart the property, and authorities threatened to arrest him if he didn’t comply.
The insider adds, "When Travis refused to go, Shanna called the police. They gave Travis a choice: Leave or get arrested. So he left. But he wasn’t happy." Barker then took to his page on blogging website Twitter.com to air his frustration, writing: "My babies (sic) mama is a pile of s**t." Rhode Island Police Sergeant Tim Harrington confirmed on Monday (24Aug09) that officers were dispatched to Moakler’s address but could not confirm the nature of the visit.
The couple’s relationship has been turbulent since their two-year marriage ended in 2006. They were back in court earlier this month (Aug09) to review their custody agreement for the summer, with Moakler allowing Barker to take the kids on the road as he tours with Blink-182.

WINEHOUSE ‘TO SUE EX MOTHER-IN-LAW’ OVER SOLD LOVE LETTERS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:54 am

AMY WINEHOUSE is reportedly set to sue her former mother-in-law for copyright infringement - after she sold the singer’s love letters to ex BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL to a British tabloid.
The Back To Black star is allegedly compiling a case against her ex-husband’s mother Georgette after she allowed intimate letters to be published in the press last year (08) while her son was in jail for perverting the course of justice in relation to an attack on a pub landlord in 2007.
At the time, Georgette Civil told reporters that her son was planning to use the letters as part of his divorce case against the star - to prove how important he was to the singer.
Fielder-Civil subsequently received a settlement when the divorce was finalised in July (09).
Now, Winehouse is set to file suit against her former extended family by taking Georgette to court on copyright infringement charges - and wants $75,000 (£50,000) in damages, according to Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
A source tells the publication, "Amy was furious the private letter was used to make money." Winehouse’s father Mitch warned Georgette Civil earlier this year (09) that he was considering suing her, claiming that she had threatened his family and waged an 18-month hate campaign against him.

BERTRAND LEAVES HEFTY INHERITANCE TO JOLIE’S KIDS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:54 am

ANGELINA JOLIE’s late mother MARCHELINE BERTRAND left a large portion of her estate to the three grandchildren she met before she lost her cancer battle in 2007.
The actress passed away following a lengthy fight against ovarian cancer in January 2007, aged 56, and left her estate to her Oscar-winning daughter and son James Haven.
As executors of the estate, Jolie and Haven put the final court papers in to a Los Angeles court earlier this month (Aug09).
And Bertrand had left her beloved grandchildren $100,000 (£66,000) each - but only the ones she had met before her tragic demise.
Adopted Maddox and Zahara, as well as Jolie and partner Brad Pitt’s biological daughter Shiloh, will receive a large part of their grandmother’s will.
However, adopted Pax, and twins Knox and Vivienne, will not receive inheritance. Pax was adopted two months after his grandmother’s death, while the twins were born in July 2008.
Bertrand also left money to her sister, brother and nephews.
The full amount of her estate’s worth was $661,000 (£440,000).

DOCTOR’S LAWYER RESPONDS TO JACKSON ‘HOMICIDE’ REPORTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:51 am

A lawyer for MICHAEL JACKSON’s embattled physician DR. CONRAD MURRAY has responded to reports the Los Angeles Coroner will rule Jackson’s death a homicide - insisting many of the ‘facts’ are simply "police theory".
On Monday (24Aug09), an affidavit was unsealed in Houston, Texas, where a storage facility belonging to Murray was raided by police last month (Jul09).
The document states lethal levels of powerful anaesthetic Propofol were found in the King of Pop’s bloodstream at the time of his death.
Murray allegedly told cops he had been treating Jackson for insomnia for six weeks before the singer’s death, giving him 50 milligrams of Propofol every night using an intravenous line.
The doctor also reportedly tried to wean his famous patient off the drug by lowering the dosage to 25 milligrams and mixing it with other sedatives.
But Dr. Murray’s lawyer insists integral parts of the affidavit are incorrect - including claims the medic left the star alone while he made phone calls on June 25 (09), the night Jackson died.
In a statement, attorney Edward Chernoff says, "Much of what was in the search warrant affidavit is factual. However, unfortunately, much is police theory.
"Most egregiously, the timeline reported by law enforcement was not obtained through interviews with Dr. Murray, as was implied by the affidavit. Dr. Murray simply never told investigators that he found Michael Jackson at 11:00 am not breathing. He also never said that he waited a mere ten minutes before leaving to make several phone calls.
"In fact, Dr. Murray never said that he left Michael Jackson’s room to make phone calls at all… We will not comment on the ‘anonymous’ law enforcement source that claims that Michael Jackson’s death will be ruled a homicide. Most of the reports by ‘anonymous’ sources have been proven wrong. We will be happy to address the Coroner’s report when it is officially released."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:51 am

Pop star NICK JONAS has his sights set on America’s top job - he used a recent diabetes awareness press conference to voice his ambition to become U.S. President.

And the star - who has previously met U.S. President Barack Obama to voice his opinion on government funding for diabetes research - was inspired by the venue, which is usually reserved for press junkets held by the most powerful people in the world.
He told the assembled reporters, "I’ve always had this dream of becoming president one day.
"As much as I joke about it and kind of say it to get a laugh, it is somewhat serious. I don’t know if it will happen."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:51 am

SHANIA TWAIN is not preparing to walk down the aisle again, according to her publicist.

But a representative for the star insists she has no plans to get wed again just yet.
