NOISE PROBE OVER BRAND AND PERRY WEDDING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:30 am

Newlyweds RUSSELL BRAND and KATY PERRY are reportedly facing an investigation in India after on official complaint was lodged accusing the stars of breaking noise laws during their wedding celebrations.
The British funnyman married the pop star at an exotic resort near the Ranthambhore national park, home to a tiger sanctuary, in Rajasthan on Saturday (23Oct10).
But the nuptials weren’t without controversy - the couple has been accused of disturbing wildlife with loud music and violating environmental laws by smoking and drinking liquor, according to a report in London’s Evening Standard newspaper.
Founder of Ranthambhore Bagh Bachao Andolan, Akshay Sharma, who filed the complaint against the stars, says, "In spite of wildlife laws being violated by the hotel administration, Katy Perry, Russell Brand and their guests, the district administration and forest department did not take any action against them. This is why I have filed a complaint in the court, so that a proper inquiry is conducted." But Raghuvir Singh Shekhawat, field director at Ranthambore, has brushed off the claims, insisting: "The allegations are ridiculous and useless because no violation of any of this ever happened. There was no disturbance, no drinking or smoking, they had no loud music.
"The management even has a record of the frequency of the music - you’re allowed up to 55 decibels and they didn’t play above 50 decibels.
"Katy Perry and Russell Brand came here so it’s a great privilege to us." Indian reports claim the complaint is to be heard in a local courtroom on Saturday (30Oct10).

RAMSAY FACES ANOTHER LAWSUIT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:27 am

TV chef GORDON RAMSAY is facing legal action after pulling out of charity appearances to raise money for a young girl battling life-threatening health problems.
The Hell’s Kitchen star failed to show up at a dinner in June (10) for nine-year-old New Zealander Matisse Reid, who is waiting for stomach, pancreas and small and large bowel transplants and struggles to eat.
He was forced to cancel after his mum, Helen Cosgrove, suffered a minor heart attack.
Ramsay has also pulled out of a second fundraising event in Auckland, New Zealand on Wednesday (27Oct10) and another in Wellington on Thursday (28Oct10).
Organisers at Duco Events plan to sue for lost earnings and damage to the firm’s reputation after selling 2,000 tickets in the hope of raising $76,000 (£51,000) to help pay for Reid’s medical bills.
A spokesperson for Ramsay says, "Unfortunately, due to urgent business matters beyond Gordon’s control, he was no longer able to attend the two events organised by Duco Events. We are in communication with the organisers but of course are extremely sorry for any disappointment caused.
"Until a few days ago, we were unaware that this was a fund-raising event. Gordon has every sympathy for Matisse and will be making a personal donation to Chance to Eat." The chef has also been hit with a slew of lawsuits this year (10) relating to alleged unpaid bills.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:54 am

A cameraman is suing funnyman SACHA BARON COHEN over an alleged attack at a gay marriage rally in Los Angeles.
Photographer Mike Skiff claims he was injured in a scuffle at a Prop 8 rally in 2008 when Cohen and his Bruno crew showed up with the intention to "promote violent discord" between the assembled factions.
According to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday (26Oct10) and obtained by TMZ.com, the Brit and his moviemaking pals carried signs "contrived for the sole purpose of inciting and sparking unrest to enhance the dramatic effect of what they may capture for their film." Skiff claims he began to shoot the fracas when crewmembers violently confronted him "with the threat of being clubbed with wooden signs." The snapper alleges the alleged attack was designed to prevent him from filming the event.
He claims he was shoved, pulled and wrestled to the ground, and he is now suing for unspecified damages.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:51 am

GWYNETH PALTROW is convinced her four-year-old son MOSES is destined for a career in hip-hop - because he spends all day copying rap songs he’s heard on the radio.
Patrow is thrilled her son with Coldplay rocker Chris Martin is showing an interest in music - but she admits the couple has given up hope he’ll be a rocker like his dad.
The actress says, “Moses sings the most in our house. He’s humming and singing all day long. Not my husband’s songs - he’s more into T-Pain or he’ll just sing whatever song he hears on the radio. Super-poppy music.”

QUIDDITCH PLAYERS FIGHT TO MAKE THE GAME AN OFFICIAL COLLEGE SPORT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:48 am

HARRY POTTER’s broomstick dash quidditch is set to become an official U.S. college sport - if student fans of the film franchise get their way.
Scholars at UCLA, Harvard and NYU already have quidditch teams and now there’s a push on to get the game recognised as a recognised National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition.
If that happens, governing body officials will be obliged to pump funds into the sport and the best young players may be offered scholarships to attend universities that excel at the game, which was created by Potter author J.K. Rowling.
The campaign to get the sport recognised comes as New York prepares to host the Quidditch World Cup next month (Nov10).
Commissioner of the International Quidditch Association Alex Benepe, who plays for the NYU team, tells MTV, "Anybody who comes to the championship match of the 2010 World Cup this year will be hard pressed to say that quidditch would not deserve to be an NCAA sport. It’s an intense game." Although the stars of the Potter movie take off on their broomsticks when they play quidditch, the players of the non-magic game run around a field with broomsticks between their legs at all times, catching balls.
