JESSIE J WEEPS OVER PRESSURES OF FAME

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:29 pm

British pop sensation JESSIE J is struggling to deal with her newfound fame, admitting she sometimes cries because she’s so scared of the attention.
The Do It Like A Dude hitmaker has enjoyed a meteoric rise to stardom over the last few months, scoring a number one single and picking up a Critics’ Choice trophy at this year’s (11) Brit Awards.
But the singer confesses she sometimes breaks down under the pressure of being a new artist - comparing her life as a star to reality TV show Big Brother.
She tells Britain’s Daily Star, "Being a pop star is like being in Big Brother. I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t cry every now and again and get scared.
"I’m 22, and the amount of expectation on me at the moment is mega. I’m so tired and I think: ‘Can I even do this?’. I know a lot of people who are really talented that don’t get any attention, so I’m not going to take it for granted. But I’m also not going to apologise.
"I have worked my butt off for six years. I actually got a bit tearful thinking about it the other day. I’ve done a hell of a lot, and been rejected a lot… I have to embrace this time, no matter mad it gets."

ADELE HAPPY WITH FULLER FIGURE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:29 pm

Soul sensation ADELE feels under no pressure to embark on a drastic diet regime - insisting she is happy to rely on her talent to be successful.
The curvy star has proved a huge hit with her ballad-filled albums, and her recent release 21 shot to the top of the U.K. charts, spawning two top five singles.
And Adele insists she’s never been asked to lose weight or change her looks to garner more fans, because her powerful voice sells itself.
She tells Britain’s Celebs on Sunday magazine, "No-one’s ever told me to lose weight or anything like that. I don’t rely on my t**s to have hits.
"How I look has never been a big part of my life. I’ve never looked at a magazine and thought, ‘That’s how I need to look if I want to be successful in life.’ "If you compare the way I look to big artists like, say, Katy Perry, I’m living proof it’s all about the music because there’s nothing else I’m relying on to do well."

SIMMONS HINTS AT HOPES FOR FUTURE IRWIN ROMANCE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:29 pm

Rap mogul RUSSELL SIMMONS has hinted he’d like to date JOHN MELLENCAMP’s estranged wife ELAINE IRWIN - but not until her divorce comes through.
Irwin separated from the veteran musician after 18 years of marriage last December (10) and the rocker is now reportedly dating Meg Ryan.
The 41-year-old model has since been linked to Simmons, who she dated 20 years ago, but the hip-hop icon insists the pair is just pals - for now.
He tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "Elaine and I are good friends. We actually went on a date 20 years ago, before she met John and I was at Def Jam. She is a beautiful woman, a great mother, and we are friends. But at the moment she is still married, so we’re friends.
"I would like to spend more time with her, but I have recently been on tour promoting my book."

MCFADDEN BLASTS ‘DATE RAPE’ CLAIMS OVER NEW SONG

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:26 pm

Irish singer BRIAN MCFADDEN has spoken out to defend the "dumb lyrics" of his new single, blasting reports the track is about date rape.
In the former Westlife star’s latest song, Just The Way You Are (Drunk At The Bar), he sings he "can’t wait" to befriend an intoxicated girl to "take advantage" and "do some damage".
The controversial words stunned some critics, who have branded the song "disgusting and wrong" and accused the star of singing about date rape.
But McFadden, who is engaged to Australian singer Delta Goodrem, has jumped to defend the track and explain the meaning of the lyrics.
He tells Britain’s Metro newspaper, "For the record I wrote the song about how I love it when Delta has a drink (which is very rare) and she’s dancing. I am shocked at these ridiculous accusations about my new song that have been written." Taking to his Twitter.com page, he adds: "My new song is a tongue in cheek song about how i find it cute when my girl gets drunk… i am not promoting date-rape. what’s the next thing i am going to be labeled (sic) as from things i say. super intelligent reaction to my song. wish i was as clever as them. and yes it is dumb lyrics and a dumb beat…. that was the point!!!! when did i ever claim to be john lennon?"

HUNGOVER FOX SICK DURING LOST WATER SHOOT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:26 pm

MATTHEW FOX regrets partying the night before filming a water stunt for LOST - because he spent the entire shoot throwing up.
The actor played Dr. Jack Shephard on the desert island show, which wrapped last year (10), and was required to film several scenes in the ocean.
However, one of the shoots went wrong after Fox - who admits he’s a poor swimmer and terrified of water - spent an entire morning nursing a nasty hangover.
He tells Britain’s The Graham Norton Show, "It was literally the part of the show I disliked the most, the water sequences. I’m not very comfortable in water and every time I was asked to do stunts like that it freaked me out. I didn’t learn to swim until I was like 22.
"There was one water sequence I did early on in the show and we (the cast) had all been partying the night before… I was required to go pretty far out in the water and had to do a lot of really hard swimming and I spent the morning throwing up. It was a terrible morning."

WATSON: ‘SERIAL KILLER DRAMA IS HANDLED SENSITIVELY’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:26 pm

Actress EMILY WATSON has defended her new TV drama about one of Britain’s most prolific serial killers following outrage from his victims’ families.
Dominic West has signed up to star as Fred West, who was charged with murdering at least 11 girls, and burying many of their remains at his home in Gloucester, England in the 1970s, while Watson plays voluntary worker Janet Leach, who sat in on police interviews with the killer.
Fred West committed suicide while awaiting trial in 1995 and his accomplice wife Rosemary is currently serving a life sentence for her part in the gruesome crimes.
The families of West’s victims have voiced concerns the dramatisation will drag up terrible memories about the murders, but Watson has moved swiftly to reassure them about the nature of the show, which is set to air in the U.K. later this year (11).
She tells Britain’s Daily Telegraph, "It is handled very sensitively. It is really about the investigation and the interviews. It’s only indirectly about what happened."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:23 pm

The actress and her I Am Number Four co-star ended their romance earlier this month (Feb11) after less than a year of dating.
But Agron isn’t pining over the hunky Brit - she was spotted flirting with Fantastic Four star Evans at a pre-Oscars party, where the pair spent all night chatting and eventually exchanged cell phone numbers.
A source tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "They were flirting and deep in conversation for a while before they swapped numbers."

FIRTH NOT HAPPY WITH CURSE-FREE KING’S SPEECH

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:23 pm

Oscars champion COLIN FIRTH is baffled by American film bosses’ plans to release a curse-free version of THE KING’S SPEECH - because he doesn’t know any viewer who has been offended by the movie’s colourful script.
In the film, which won the British star the Best Actor Academy Award at Sunday’s (27Feb11) ceremony, Firth’s stuttering monarch George VI is seen learning to overcome his speech issues by pronouncing rude words.
Officials at the Motion Picture Association of America’s ratings board recently gave producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein permission to release a new family-friendly version alongside the existing R-rated version in cinemas at the same time.
But Firth has slammed the move - insisting the film should not be changed as the swear words aren’t used in a "vicious" way.
He tells the Associated Press, "I don’t take this stuff lightly, but in the context of this film, it could not be more edifying, more appropriate. It’s not vicious, it’s not an insult or it’s not in any of the contexts which might offend people.
"Really, it’s about a man who’s trying to free himself through the use of certain words. I still haven’t met the person who would object, so I think the film should stand as it is."

GALLIANO FACES COP QUIZ AS NEW VIDEO EMERGES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:23 pm

JOHN GALLIANO will face further questioning on Monday (28Feb11) over his alleged anti-Semitic rant, just hours after a video of the fashion designer purportedly praising ADOLF HITLER was leaked online.
The flamboyant couturier was arrested last Thursday (24Feb11) over accusations he hurled insults at two strangers in a Parisian bar.
He was taken to a nearby police station but later released without charge. His lawyer, Stephane Zerbib, went on to blast the couple’s claims and Galliano is preparing to sue the pair for defamation after he was suspended by bosses at Christian Dior, where he is head designer.
But the fashion king is now facing further questioning at the Paris public prosecutor’s office, where he will meet with authorities on Monday, according to his lawyer.
Zerbib says, "They have to find out the truth. If the public prosecutor’s office decides it is an emergency case, things could go very quickly." Galliano is also facing further scandal following the release of a new video, which apparently shows him lashing out at a group of drinkers in a bar.
In the footage, posted on the website of British newspaper The Sun, Galliano is heard slurring his words as he tells the group: "I love Hitler… People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f**king gassed."

HANKS HAVING HIS OSCARS REPLATED

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:35 am

Two-time Oscar winner TOM HANKS has had to send his statuettes back to the Academy board for refurbishment - because the gold awards started to corrode after coming into contact with the actor’s sweaty hands.
The Hollywood star landed consecutive Best Actor honours in 1993 and 1994 for his roles in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump respectively.
But he admits the Oscars have lost their shine after more than 17 years on his mantelpiece - and they were in such disrepair, he was advised to have them replaced altogether.
He explains, "My Oscars are a little old. When you get one, the sweat in your hands have a certain level of acidity or some alkaline so when you grab them… that sweat and the chemicals in your body begin to immediately corrode the gold.
"The gold flake was beginning to rust and corrode and crack, and I thought, I’m kinda proud of these things, and I understood you could send them off to get them refurbished. So I did, the Academy offers this service.
"I got the word back… They said they were in such bad shape, they would be happy to just give me replacements." But Hanks decided against getting new Oscars - because the real awards hold so much sentimental value for him.
He adds, "They got serial numbers on them… so they’re going to try and replate them, and I’m never gonna touch these things again, I won’t put my hands on them or let anybody else, ‘cos everybody comes to my house and goes, ‘Can I hold your Oscar?’ ‘No, no, no, don’t hold my Oscars!’"

OSBOURNE SLAMS BLOGGER HILTON AFTER DRINKING SLUR

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:32 am

KELLY OSBOURNE has taken aim at PEREZ HILTON after the blogger blasted her for boozing on a night out.
The daughter of rocker Ozzy was spotted drinking beer and shots of liquor at The Bronson Bar in Los Angeles over the weekend (25-27Feb11).
Hilton published photos of Osbourne’s night out, alongside a story stating: "Oh girl, what are you doing?? Didn’t you just go to rehab not that long ago? Again! Since you, like Lindsay Lohan, have an addictive personality, we’d advise BOTH of you to abstain from all substances - pills, alcohol, weed, heavy drugs, etc." The reality TV star took offence at the article, and used her Twitter.com page to explain her actions to the blogger.
In a series of public messages sent to Hilton, she writes, "I’m a 26 year old adult women (sic) a corona and a shot hardly constitutes rehab. I was out having fun with my friends! "I am fully allowed to have the odd drink with my friends… good lord crime of the century!" But Osbourne soon got over the comments, later adding: "Thank you for caring though you know I love you I will call you later." Osbourne has previously fought painkiller addiction but successfully conquered her demons in 2009 following several stints in rehab.

LOHAN LAUGHS OFF LEGAL WOES WITH KIMMEL SPOOF

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:32 am

LINDSAY LOHAN made a humorous reference to her legal woes during a surprise appearance on JIMMY KIMMEL’s post-Oscars TV special when she joined the U.S. comedian for a spoof fitness advertisement.
The Mean Girls star is facing jail time for a felony grand theft charge, but that didn’t stop her from joining some of Hollywood’s hottest actresses, including Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel and Eva Longoria, to film the funny infomercial, which aired on Sunday night (27Feb11).
Pretending to promote exercise guru Jimmy K’s new workout programme Hottie Body Humpilates, Lohan kept a straight face as she told viewers about the fitness regime shared by lions in the wild.
She said, "Lions spend their days hunting and their nights humping. Lions hump upwards of 40 times a night. I’ve spent thousands of hours watching them, so I know." But it was Lohan’s stunt at the end of the commercial which had viewers chuckling - as Kimmel declared, "The Jimmy K programme is so affordable, it’s practically a steal", the star added, "Allegedly".
The swipe was in reference to her ongoing legal troubles, which could land her back behind bars.
Lohan is accused of stealing a necklace from a jewellery store in Venice, California in January (11), although she maintains the item was loaned to her.

The star was travelling with her daughter Ava, three, when a man punched her car window during an incident, leaving Klass furious.
She took to her Twitter.com page to inform her online followers of the drama and posted the driver’s vehicle registration number on the site in a bid to shame the perpetrator.
In a series of posts, she writes, "I’d like to thank you for punching my car window with my daughter in the back. Big man.
"Ava was upset as (she) didn’t understand what was going on. I just know if I was a 6ft man, he would never have gotten out of the car, so I’ll name ‘n’ shame him myself. Coward of a man." Klass also reveals she has contacted police in connection with the incident, adding: "I get my crime number in 48 more hours!"

DJ IRONIK’S MUM SELLS LONDON HOME AFTER STABBING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:29 am

British rapper DJ IRONIK’s mother has sold their family home in London after he was stabbed outside the property last year (10) - because his younger sister has been left so traumatised by the attack.
The 23-year-old hip-hop star, real name James Charters, was returning home after a gig in November (10) when he was cornered by thugs in Highgate, north London, who stole his jewellery and knifed him in the buttock.
Charters admits he was calm throughout the attack - because he hadn’t realised he had been stabbed.
He tells Britain’s The Sun, "I knew they wanted my jewellery because that’s all they could see on me - they got away with a bracelet worth £4,000. I was thinking, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ I never promote violence in my lyrics.
"Because of the adrenalin that was running through me I didn’t even realise I’d been stabbed for a while. It was only afterwards, when I’d run into my neighbour’s house and they saw the blood dripping all over the floor. I’d felt woozy but I thought that was because I’d been running." Charters reveals his mother has moved out of her London home because his family no longer feels safe at the address - and admits his own view on life has also changed following the incident.
He adds, "My 12-year-old sister was traumatised as her brother had been attacked on his own doorstep.
"Before it happened, I was living pretty hard with lots of girls and drinking, I calmed down quite a bit since then. I still wear my diamonds though - if you work hard for something you should get the rewards."
