In legal papers filed in the State of Connecticut Superior Court in Jul y, 2009, the man alleged, "My wife would leave the house for periods of t ime indicating that she was ‘going to meet Garth’, referring to Garth Bro oks, the country music singer. She claimed to be contacting him by e-mail , cell phone and in person." But the woman at the centre of the divorce has disputed her spouse’s ac cusations, insisting her husband made up the Brooks affair rumour in Sept ember, 2008 to cover his own infidelity and alleged substance abuse issue s.
She tells the National Enquirer, "I have never met Garth Brooks. My hus band was also doing drugs, and when I found out, I stopped letting him se e my son. That’s when they cooked up this rumour I was having an affair w ith Garth Brooks.
"The court papers show that nothing was ever brought up about me having an affair with Brooks because those claims are completely baseless." Brooks, who has been married to fellow country star Trisha Yearwood sin ce 2005, has yet to comment on the allegations.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:24 pm

SPIDER-MAN star KIRSTEN DUNST has rekindled her romance with DUSTIN HOFFM AN’s actor son JAKE, according to reports.
The actress briefly dated Hoffman in 1998, but the couple drifted apart as Dunst’s career rocketed with the release of the web-slinging superher o movies.
She was romantically linked to a number of rockers, including British s tar Johnny Borrell, drummer Fabrizio Moretti and, most recently, Rilo Kil ey’s Jason Boesel, but insiders insist the actress has given up dating ro ck stars and wants someone more stable in her life.
A source tells the National Enquirer, "Kristen’s career soared, but pri vately she was self-destructing. She dated a string of bad boys and her l ife spiralled out of control." Dunst is now working to clean up her image after a stint in a rehabilit ation centre in 2008, and she has now reconnected with 29-year-old Hoffma n.
The pair was spotted cuddling at an event for New York’s Tribeca Film F estival earlier this month (May10) and the actress has allegedly vowed to give up her penchant for partying to make her new relationship with clea n-cut Hoffman work.

PARKER FLUSTERED OVER ‘AVERAGE’ BRODERICK COMMENT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:24 pm

SARAH JESSICA PARKER was left red-faced during a U.S. TV interview on Tue sday night (25May10) when she accidentally referred to her husband MATTHE W BRODERICK as "average".
The Sex and the City star was discussing how quickly the couple’s son, James Wilkie, was growing up during an appearance on The Late Show with D avid Letterman, admitting he is mature for his age.
She said, "(James Wilkie) is, for the moment, more on the diminutive si de. Some might call it a Napoleon complex, it (his age) gives him some (c onfidence) because he is so mature. He’s a brainiac… well I think so, n aturally." But Parker found herself desperately trying to backtrack when she began to compare the seven-year-old’s size to that of his actor father Broderi ck.
She added, "(James Wilkie is) not quite tiny - that’s on my husband’s s ide - well, actually Matthew is average… not in personality or in intel lect…. no, no, no, no, no! "Let me clear this up. For the record, not in personality, intellect, c harisma, talent, genuine likeability, well the list could go on and on. A nyway he’s average in height as I understand, so the odds of our son bein g average in height and weight is perhaps promising."

JAMES’ MISTRESS UPSET HE DIDN’T MENTION HER IN TV CHAT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:21 pm

The woman who wrecked SANDRA BULLOCK and JESSE JAMES’ marriage is upset t he reality star didn’t mention her in his much-hyped TV interview in Amer ica on Tuesday night (25May10).
The morning after his big reveal on America’s Nightline, Michelle ‘Bomb shell’ McGee has accused her ex-lover of avoiding certain issues - like h er.
She tells In Touch magazine, "I do think things were avoided. Like deta ils of our affair. He seemed to gloss over everything and it was very gen eric." Instead, James made several apologies for cheating on Oscar winner Bull ock with mistresses like McGee, a tattooed porn star, and revealed he fel t terrible about hurting the woman he loved.
McGee adds, "What about the other people he hurt along the way? Even th ough I don’t expect to get an apology, at the very least, I was hoping fo r some sort of acknowledgement regarding the pain and embarrassment he ca used myself and others." And she disputes his claims that he always wanted to get caught out - b ecause he was self-sabotaging his happiness: "He took every precaution no t to get caught. I was only allowed to come up during after hours at the shop. We could never go get food - even at his own restaurant." McGee brought about the beginning of the end of Bullock and James’ marr iage when she went public with news of the affair she had had with the TV mechanic.
But the porn star doesn’t think the former couple will be apart for lon g: "I have my suspicions that they will be still together but out of the public eye."

PHILLIPS: ‘MCCREADY’S HOSPITALISATION IS SUSPICIOUS’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:21 pm

Country star MINDY MCCREADY’s recent drug-related hospitalisation has lef t her friend MACKENZIE PHILLIPS with some big questions - she can’t under stand why the singer’s mother called emergency services with an overdose story.
The troubled country star has been released from hospital in Florida. S he was admitted after her mother, Gayle Ingle, reportedly found her uncon scious, called 911 and suggested that her daughter had overdosed after ta king the pain pill Darvocet for a broken toe.
But the singer’s spokesman, Brent Young, has played down the incident, revealing McCready simply experienced a bad reaction to the pain pills sh e had been prescribed after breaking her toe on Sunday (23May10).
Young claims McCready told her mother she was feeling unwell, sparking a panic.
And now Phillips, McCready’s roommate on reality TV show Celebrity Reha b, has suggested the call for help may have been a ploy to wreck her frie nd’s chances of winning back custody of her four-year-old son, Zander.
Phillips tells In Touch magazine, "I find it suspicious that her mom ga ve her a strong medication for a broken toe and called 911 saying that sh e was overdosing.
"It also just seems a bit strange that this happened in the midst of a custody battle. Mindy was in Fort Myers to see her son, who is so importa nt to her and whom she loves so much. I support her 100 per cent… and I know that she is going to be fine and prevail." McCready’s hospitalisation comes just days after she won a court judgem ent to reopen custody proceedings in the hope of being reunited with Zand er.
She lost custody of the boy in 2007 after she was jailed for violating probation by allegedly assaulting her mum in a fight over the singer’s dr inking and drug addictions.
Meanwhile McCready’s brother has called the drama a big misunderstandin g.

He said, "My whole childhood, I never had a chance to be a kid. I remem ber the clenched-teeth, strained-neck look on his face. He beat my a** pr etty good a bunch of times. Football star, bike builder, Monster Garage T V star - all that stuff is a huge smokescreen, so people won’t see that I ‘m a scared, abused kid, a seven year old.
"I remember my dad laughed when I hit the ground and called me a dummy.
It wasn’t getting the s**t beat out of me… It was the in-between time, the fear of that happening again. I was a terrorised kid. It’s really to ugh for me to think about now, because…(my daughter) Sunny’s the age th at I was=E2=80=A6when my dad broke my arm." Larry James denied the allegations in an email to America’s ABC News, a nd now his ex-wife, Janina James Coan, has stepped forward in his defence , branding the claims "a bunch of crap".
Coan, who began dating James, Sr. when Jesse was six, reveals father an d son fell out when the future star was a teenager, but she is "appalled" at the suggestion that her ex was an abusive dad.
She tells TMZ.com, "Larry was the most caring father, the kindest fathe r who would do anything for anybody. He loved Jesse to death and would br ag about him all the time." Coan claims Jesse and his father became estranged when James, Sr. repor ted his son to the cops when he discovered he’d robbed a store with a fri end. Coan says Jesse ended up in juvenile hall and was very upset that hi s dad turned him in.

I played on the song, and they called me up to ask me to play in the video, but my record was just coming out, an d I was sort of worn thin. She was really sweet. She sent me this pleadin g text to come do the video, but I couldn’t make it work. I told her that me not being in the video wasn’t going to make or break it.
"The video is way better with her being me than with me being me. All t hings considered, it brings an element of sexuality to it that I probably wouldn’t have been capable of. I think it’s hot, and I sent her a text t his morning telling her it was definitely hotter with her doing it than w ith me doing it. Everything works out the way it’s supposed to.
"I’m way more flattered that she played me in the video than her asking me to be in it. All things considered, she’s pretty cool." (PAW/WNWCM/LR
