RENNER’S OSCARS WEEK STRUGGLE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:45 am

THE HURT LOCKER star JEREMY RENNER’s 2010 Oscars thrill was tainted by a house remodelling nightmare - the Best Actor nominee had no electricity o r running water when he woke up on Academy Awards day.
The actor admits he was living in a half-built home throughout the run- up to the Oscars - and he woke in a terrible state on one of the proudest moments of his life.
He explains, "I was going through a break-up with a girlfriend… and s o I moved into the house a little early and it didn’t have running water or power.
"I had to tape plastic around my bed to keep the dust and all the debri s away from me." But, like his tough character in The Hurt Locker, Renner found away of adapting to his bizarre circumstances in Los Angeles’ urban jungle.
He adds, "There’s a lot of places that have running water… I’d be in a nice, fine suit.. and I’d run into, like, a Starbucks or a McDonald’s o r a restaurant.
"I was like a really finely dressed homeless person." But it all became a little too much for Renner when his mother and brot her came to stay with him - and the house still wasn’t ready: "I got a ho tel for just a week."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:43 am

Fox - and she c ould be leaving in an all-too-familiar jumpsuit.
Lohan spent 13 days behind bars and another 23 days in a lock-down reha b centre this summer (Jul10) after she was found guilty of violating her probation on a 2007 DUI arrest, and she’s already in trouble again after failing a mandatory drug test earlier this month (Sep10).
Judge Fox had warned Lohan he would put her back behind bars for 30 day s if she tested positive or skipped one of her twice-weekly tests.
However, insiders tell TMZ.com that Lohan will avoid jail even if Judge Fox remands her into custody - because he will have to set bail.
Sources tell the website Friday’s hearing will be extremely short and a bail bondsman will be in the courtroom to take care of business on the s pot, so Lindsay will walk out a free woman.
But, when the probation violation hearing is held next month (Oct10) as planned, Judge Fox could sentence the actress to 30 days in jail, based on the failed drug test for cocaine.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:22 pm

The lawyer who secured MICHAEL JACKSON’s freedom in his 2005 molestation trial has settled an outstanding invoice with the executors of the King o f Pop’s estate.

Mesereau defended the late Thriller hitmaker during his highly-publicis ed court case, in which Jackson faced seven counts of child molestation a nd two of administering an intoxicating agent to a 13-year-old boy.
