Shiloh, we feel, has Montenegro style. It’s how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes (regular) suits. She likes to dress like a bo y. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear bo ys’ everything. She thinks she’s one of the brothers." But the actress isn’t worried about the youngster, insisting she was mu ch the same when she was Shiloh’s age.
She adds, "(She’s) goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer… I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around. But at some point, I got closed off, darker. I don’t remember anything happening. I think yo u just get hit with the realities of certain things in life, think too mu ch, start to realise the world isn’t as you wished it would be, so you de epen. Then, as I had kids and got older - being goofy, lighter - it all c ame back."

I can never ever let go of the fact that I didn’t get the ch ance to say goodbye, or give Michael a hug or tell him again that I loved him, so I’m taking that opportunity right now, to say, ‘Michael, I forgi ve you, I hope you forgive me and I love you.’"

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:36 pm

KYLIE MINOGUE is adamant her raunchy routine in the promo for her track A LL THE LOVERS wasn’t planned - the director changed his mind about her ou tfit hours before filming.
The singer famously rejuvenated her career in 2000 by wearing a pair of tight, gold hotpants in the video for her single Spinning Around.

But Minogue insists she had planned a more sombre image for the shoot - and was asked to don sexier clothes by the director.
She tells U.K. TV show This Morning, "When I get to Los Angeles for the video shoot, the director says ‘No, actually I don’t want you in a long black dress, I want you in something white and something really tiny.’ So - pants and boots! Oh God, here we go again!"

She says, "When I was about 13 or 14, I was in the street when someone got shot in a gang situation. What was difficult was that in my group of friends, some went the way of gangs and drugs and others didn’t. You coul dn’t blame those that did because we were surrounded by it. It was what t hey knew, all they knew.
"I was lucky that I had my mother, my grandmother and my music. I was a tough kid but I didn’t want that to be my future. It makes me sad to thi nk that some of my friends had no escape."

KIMBERLY WYATT has opened up about the alleged abuse she suffered as a ch ild - admitting the traumatic experience ruined her relationship with her parents because they didn’t want to "deal with" her claims.
The former Pussycat Dolls star went public with the allegations last ye ar (09), claiming she was molested as a toddler while her mother and fath er travelled around the U.S. as truckers.
She claims her parents refused to listen to her when she confided in th em about the alleged abuse - and Wyatt is convinced it had a lasting impa ct on her life.
She tells Britain’s Celebs on Sunday magazine, "I really lacked self co nfidence for a lot of my life. There’s so much I went through as a kid th at really held me back. I’m not very close to my family, a lot has happen ed between us.
"I’ve been molested… The problem was the way my parents dealt with it .. They chose partying over maybe my safety at times. When I tried to talk to them about they were like, ‘We don’t even want to hear it, cos we don ‘t want to deal with it.’ "It was up to me to cope, and I don’t know how (I did). That had a lot to do with me going off (working on cruise ships) at such an early age. D ancing saved me." However, Wyatt admits that after several sessions with a therapist, she ’s grown closer to her mother and father.
The 28 year old adds, "The therapist broke me down, so I could then pic k up the pieces. Finally, when I was honest and could tell my parents ‘Th is is why I feel this way’, it sparked a new beginning in my relationship with them. Now my relationship with them is getting better every day. I actually spoke to my Dad recently, and we don’t speak a whole lot. It’s g reat for them that we can start over."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:24 pm

The two stars went head to head for the Best Supporting Actress trophy several times earlier this year (10), at film events including the Golden Globes, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards a nd the Oscars.
Kendrick’s role in Up In The Air failed to land her any of the coveted awards, while Mo’Nique swept the board at most of the major ceremonies fo r her turn in Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.
But the Twilight actress refuses to hold a grudge.
She says, "There’s no way of saying this that doesn’t make it sound lik e I’m just trying to be polite but Mo’Nique gave such a humbling performa nce, that to see her win again and again didn’t make me feel bad at all.
"In a way, it took a lot of the pressure off because I didn’t feel that I was losing to a performance I didn’t admire. And I know it sounds chee sy, but it really was a dream come true to be at the Oscars - I never tho ught I’d get to be there."

JOLIE & PITT DROPPED ‘PERSONAL’ MR. & MRS. SMITH SEQUEL

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:21 pm

ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT dropped out of plans for a MR. & MRS. SMITH sequel when they realised the script would mirror their real-life romance ..
Jolie admits she "fell in love" with her current partner on the set of the 2005 film, even though he was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time .. They later became romantically involved after Pitt’s marriage ended, an d many saw their onscreen roles as married spies as a precursor to their real-life romance.
The Hollywood actress admits the couple, who now has six kids together, had been in talks to revive their roles for a follow-up, but they dismis sed the idea after the storyline suggestions became too "personal".
She tells Vanity Fair magazine, "People have tried. And it’s strange: d o we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes per sonal now that we actually have kids. And if we work on it, we pull from our own life, which is funny to us, but you feel strange sharing too much .. We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel, but there wasn’t anything original. It was just, Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated. Never g reat." But Jolie is adamant she wants to share the screen with her current par tner again - as long as they can find a babysitter for their children.
She adds, "I’d love to. We’ve talked about it. We’d have to figure out who’s going to watch the kids, but it’s really about finding the right th ing, because we’ve looked. When you’re a couple, there are certain things people don’t want to see you do. It becomes too indulgent, too personal.
I don’t think people want to see people who are really together intimate on-screen. Maybe we have to play bad guys that try to kill each other, s o it’s just fun and aggressive, not dealing with some man-woman deal." (L
