GOLDBLUM EMBRACES BALDING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:33 pm

JEFF GOLDBLUM is urging his fellow actors to embrace their baldness inste ad of wearing a fake hairpiece, insisting stars are "foolish" to think th ey are tricking the public.
The 57 year old admits he’s fortunate his thick raven mane is real, but he’s tired of other Hollywood stars trying to hide their receding hairli ne - because most wigs are obvious fakes.
He says, "I think the hair problem for men - not that I’m familiar - is unsolvable and makes them do foolish things. Do people wear toupees anym ore? They’re awful, just awful. How about hair plugs? I don’t want to mak e anybody feel bad… (but) it’s a disaster."

MCGREGOR’S TERROR FLIGHT IN FIGHTER JET

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:30 pm

Thrill-seeking actor EWAN MCGREGOR was left trembling in fear after he wa s taken for a white-knuckle ride in a Tornado fighter jet.
The Trainspotting star got the chance to experience a G-force inducing flight when his brother Colin - a pilot for Britain’s Royal Air Force - o ffered him a trip in a hi-tech military plane.
But McGregor admits he was terrified as they hurtled through the clouds - and ended up vomiting in a sick bag.
He tells Britain’s Mail on Sunday Live magazine, "We went barrelling do wn the runway and I was in the seat directly behind him, and because you can’t see what’s coming you can’t prepare for the G-force. You’re wearing a G-suit that inflates and pushes on your body, and it pushes the blood back. Without it you’d just pass out, as the G-force is unbelievable. It’ s horrible.
"I was a little sick, but not too much. We did a lot of low-level stuff and then he went up to 2,000 feet, over the clouds, and I started to swe at and I was thinking, ‘Conquer it, conquer it!’ "I managed to be all right, but then he asked me to change the frequenc y on the radio, and as I put my head down he veered off. I couldn’t get m y head back up, and it’s horrible when you can’t see. I instantly threw u p. When you land, you’ve got your little bag of sick on your lap, and the canopy comes up and the ground-crew fella comes up the ladder and he say s, ‘OK?’ And you have to hand him the bag."

GRAHAM EMBARRASSED BY BROADWAY CAMERA BAN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:30 pm

Actress LAUREN GRAHAM was left red-faced during her Broadway debut in GUY S AND DOLLS - after she mistakenly demanded an 80-year-old woman be eject ed from the theatre for filming.
The Gilmore Girls star first took the stage as Miss Adelaide, the long- suffering fiancee to Oliver Platt’s Nathan Detroit, in March 2009 for the revival of the stage production.
But Graham insists her performances were sometimes marred by rude theat regoers who attempted to film the show.
She explains, "People film everything now. It’s awful. It’s really dist racting because you can see that red light and you start thinking, ‘What am I going to look like on YouTube?’" The actress admits she decided to take action during one night’s perfor mance - but she chose the wrong person to make an example of, by accusing a frail old lady.
She remembers, "Right down in the front one day I could see this red li ght flashing and I came off stage and said, ‘Please go get this person, i t’s wrecking our scene.’ The stage manager came back and said, ‘Well, goo d news is we shut the light down. The bad news is it’s an 80 year old wom an’s birthday and it was her birthday pin flashing."

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

Actress CHLOE MORETZ endured months of demanding physical training for co ntroversial new movie KICK-ASS - she had to perform 1,000 crunches every night and learn how to take apart a gun.
The 13 year old was cast as assassin Hit Girl, a character who uses bad language throughout the movie and is seen savagely killing numerous vill ains.
To prepare for the physically intense role, Moretz learned martial arts and spent two months in a challenging training program, prompting co-sta r Aaron Johnson to dub her a "mini-Schwarzenegger".
She says, "Two months before the movie started I started training to be Hit Girl. I knew it was going to be physical, but I didn’t know it was g oing to be that physical. First I did basic training - how to take apart a gun and how to put it back together. I then did more technical training , like the bow staff and butterfly knife. They made me do 1,000 crunches a night and 50 pull-ups. I loved learning the martial arts moves. Learnin g to flip a butterfly knife was fun and challenging too." But despite her role, Moretz is adamant she hates bloodthirsty films: " I would never want to see that kind of violence. I’m a chicken. I’m scare d of spiders. I like romantic comedies. I’m totally a chick-flick girl."

SUTHERLAND ‘VERY EXCITED’ FOR 24 MOVIE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:39 pm

KIEFER SUTHERLAND is relieved 24 has been cancelled - because he can’t wa it to begin filming the hit series’ big screen adaptation.
Fox bosses announced last week (ends28Mar10) that the action show’s cur rent eighth season would be its last - but Sutherland insists he’s happy about the news because he’s looking forward to making a blockbuster.
And he’s confident the show will work better in a two-hour film than in real-time format.
He tells Daily Variety, "I’m very excited about the idea (of a movie). I’m very excited about the opportunity, and singularly because it’s a two -hour representation of a 24-hour day. So for the first time, it will be very feasible in this 24 hours to go from England to Russia, or from Chin a to Japan, depending on where they choose to set it.
"Before on the TV show, the crisis had to come to us, because the best we could do was get across town. And the two times we ever put Jack Bauer in a plane, it just didn’t work. So it alleviates a huge hurdle that rea l time writing presented for us." And Sutherland, who plays federal agent Jack Bauer, admits a ninth seas on of the TV series would be a mistake.
He adds, "From a creative point, I think Howard (Gordon, executive prod ucer) was feeling that as confident and as strong as he felt about season eight, he was feeling that it was going to be very hard to do (a season nine).
"He and I both felt that the opportunity of making a movie, and doing a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day - which would not be restricted by time - was something that was appealing to he and I both." (CL&PAW/DV
