Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:12 pm

MEL GIBSON’s former partner OKSANA GRIGORIEVA has spoken out about her st ormy relationship with the BRAVEHEART star, branding the actor "cruel" an d accusing him of failing to pay her any child maintenance for their daug hter, LUCIA.
Gibson split from Grigorieva, the mother of his seven-month-old child, earlier this year (10) and the former couple is said to be embroiled in a battle over visitation rights.
The singer reportedly won a restraining order in Los Angeles against Gi bson at the beginning of the week (beg21Jun10), prompting the movie star/ director’s legal team to call for a modification so their client could sp end time with his daughter.
Gibson is said to have filed for a restraining order against Grigorieva so she is forbidden from speaking about the couple’s relationship - but the singer has vehemently denied the claims in an exclusive interview wit h Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.
She tells the publication, "There is no restraining order against me, b ut my lawyers went to court and a judge granted a restraining order again st him." Grigorieva opens up about the break-down of their relationship, allegin g she "left him" for the sake of her children - Lucia and her son from a previous relationship - despite rumours the star dumped her.
She also claims Gibson is not paying her "a penny" towards the upkeep o f their daughter and she is "having to live on credit cards".
Grigorieva explains, "He is not paying me a penny. Nothing. There are s o many lies being said about me. I was trying to keep things dignified an d be respectful to the father of my daughter, but what he is doing is cru elty. I am having to live on credit cards and borrowed money. It is not a good situation.
"’We were together for three years. So much that is being put out there is wrong. He didn’t dump me, I left him. I rescued my children and mysel f."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:39 pm

Rapper 50 CENT is urging his young fans to exercise more in a bid to stay out of trouble - and he’ll host a special day in his native New York ove r the weekend (26Jun10) to get the message across.
The In Da Club hitmaker wants to encourage children and teenagers to av oid staying indoors, playing on computers and watching TV - and get activ e in their communities instead.
50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, endured a troubled childhood and, at the age of 25, was shot nine times outside of his grandmother’s house.
Good health and fitness helped him turn his life around and now the fat her of 14-year-old Marquise wants to help other kids grow up in a better environment.
He will be hosting Forever Young Day on Saturday (26Jun10) in Baisley P ark, Queens, not far from where he grew up - to promote exercise to local children over a six-hour period.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I want to be able to go and talk to them and (have) them really feel what my experience has been. They do wha t they=E2=80=99re influenced to do… I had no options. It was, ‘Go on we lfare or go in the street.’ Technology is keeping them still." The star tried to host a similar event last year (09), but the show was cancelled over fears a concert he had planned would be marred by violenc e.
50 Cent insists he has no plans to perform at Forever Young Day, becaus e of the chaos which surrounded Drake’s concert in the Big Apple earlier this month (Jun10) - Drake’s gig was cancelled after overcrowding led to violent outbursts. An upcoming free show headlined by Ke$ha has also been axed for fears of similar problems.

MATRONIC FEARED SHEARS WOULD ‘BURN OUT’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:33 pm

SCISSOR SISTERS star ANA MATRONIC is pleased her bandmate JAKE SHEARS mov ed out of New York to work on their latest album, because she feared he w as going to "burn himself out" in the Big Apple.
The I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ hitmakers scrapped their third album last year (09) because they were left with a record they didn’t "believe" in, axing the project in its entirety and creating a whole new set of new so ngs for Night Work.
Shears moved out of America to spend some time in Berlin, Germany to co ncentrate on the new music - and Matronic is adamant it was the "best dec ision for him and the band" because he needed to clear his head and reinv igorate his creativity.
She says, "I was just worried about Jake burning himself out, which he kinda did. But he had the good sense to leave New York and go to Berlin, which was the best decision for him and the band.
"Before that, when you’re going into the studio and you don’t know what you’re trying to say, creatively you can lose the muse quickly. Jake is someone who is inspired by his environment and the people around him. He ended up in a routine where all he was doing was thinking about songwriti ng. He just needed to get back out there and live."
