Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:57 pm

Reality TV star KHLOE KARDASHIAN and her husband LAMAR ODOM have become the latest celebrity couple to renew its vows after celebrating its first wedding anniversary on Monday (27Sep10).
Kardashian married basketball star Odom in a lavish bash last year (09) and the Los Angeles Lakers player surprised his wife by staging another, more intimate ceremony this week to mark one year together as man and wife.
The commitment ceremony was conducted by the same pastor and at the same venue as their original wedding and the stars later returned home to celebrate their love with 40 friends and family.
In a post on her blog on Tuesday (28Sep10), Kardashian gushes, "I can only think of one word to describe my anniversary yesterday…magical! Lamar’s big surprise (well one of many surprises) was the renewal of our vows! How romantic is that?! Everything was planned perfectly and I could not have been more surprised…
"I literally had NO idea where we were going. When we arrived, the car door opened and Lamar took my hand and led me to the spot where we were married one year ago. He removed the blindfold and I was just speechless - I was beyond in shock. I knew he had a few fun surprises up his sleeve but I never could have anticipated this. I have never been more obsessed with my husband." Supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott have all renewed their wedding vows this year (10).

ARNOLD UNDERGOES REHAB AFTER SURGERY

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:54 pm

Actor TOM ARNOLD is undergoing rehab to help him detox from pain drugs prescribed to him following recent emergency colon surgery.
The True Lies star was recently treated in secret for a perforated colon, a painful procedure that forced him to spend a month in hospital and take a cocktail of pain pills.
Arnold, 51, has battled hard to kick an addiction to alcohol and has been sober for 20 years - so he checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in California to properly wean himself off the powerful medication.
The actor’s spokesperson says, "He spent over a month in the hospital after emergency surgery for a perforated colon. During that time, extensive pain and anti-anxiety meds were administered.
"His doctors advised him to go into a supervised, structured recovery/rehab facility to properly and safely detox from all meds."

BONNIE AND CLYDE FILMMAKER PENN DEAD AT 88

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 3:54 pm

BONNIE AND CLYDE director ARTHUR PENN has died, just one day after celebrating his 88th birthday.
The filmmaker, a veteran of World War II, passed away at his home in New York on Tuesday (28Sep10) after suffering congestive heart failure, according to his daughter Molly.
Penn began his Hollywood career in the 1950s with small jobs in TV before making his feature film debut with The Left Handed Gun, starring a young Paul Newman.
He quickly established himself as a top director following the success of the Oscar-nominated The Miracle Worker in 1962, a film adaptation of the play he had previously staged on Broadway.
However, he will perhaps be best remembered for classic 1967 gangster film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, which won two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress (Estelle Parsons) and Best Cinematography (Burnett Guffey).
The movie later went down in history when it was selected as one of the first 100 releases to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry.
He returned to the TV industry in the 1990s and served as an executive producer on hit crime series Law & Order.
Penn retired in 2001 and his final years were marred by illness, including a battle with pneumonia last summer (09).
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Peggy Maurer, and their two children, Molly and Matthew.
The director’s death comes almost one year after the loss of his older brother, celebrated photographer Irving Penn, who passed last October (09) at the age of 92.

IFANS TEASED CRAIG ABOUT KISSING SCENE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:12 pm

RHYS IFANS broke the tension on the set of his dark thriller ENDURING LOV E by continually taunting co-star DANIEL CRAIG about the pair’s impending same-sex smooch.
The actors worked together on the 2004 adaptation of Ian McEwan’s accla imed novel, which tells the story of a man who becomes obsessed with a fe llow witness of a hot air balloon accident.
Ifans plays the film’s creepy stalker and immersed himself in the role, but he eased the tense atmosphere by teasing Craig about their kissing s cene.
He tells Britain’s The Times, "To play him as some weird stalker wasn’t good enough. I had to go somewhere that wasn’t in Ian McEwan’s novel. I had to be like an infatuated teenage girl, you know, with the big doe eye s and the playing with the hair, but very religious and very likable, som eone who is overly attentive to the old ladies in church.
"But that whole film was so dark that I had to have a laugh with it. I spent the whole shoot winding up Dan Craig saying, ‘Only four days to go now, Dan darling, before our snogging scene.’ Even now, after two Bonds, Dan still maintains that the hardest stunt he’s ever done was getting to grips with my mouth."
