RIHANNA REFUSES TO STOP SEXTING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:21 pm

Defiant RIHANNA is refusing to stop posing for saucy cell phone sex snaps just because a handful have leaked online - she likes titillating boyfriends with candid topless shots.
Although she’s not sexting anyone after splitting from baseball star Matt Kemp, Rihanna insists future lovers should be prepared for a series of hotel bedroom shots to pop up on their phones.
Shots of the Umbrella singer topless that were intended for ex-boyfriend Chris Brown sparked a fuss when they hit the web years ago and there have been a couple of close encounters since - but Rihanna is not about to give up sexting.
In a candid new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, she says, "When you’re not with the person you want to be intimate with, a picture is the next best thing.
"Skype is safer, but a picture lasts a long time. When you’re alone, and those horny moments come up, pictures can be very handy."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:15 pm

KATY PERRY has become part of an elite chart club in America after scoring her fourth number one single from the same album.

Teenage Dream, California Gurls and Firework have previously shot to the top of the countdown.
Usher is the only other artist this century to release four number ones from the same album, 2004’s Confessions.

Teenage Dream becomes only the ninth album to feature four number ones.
Perry tells Billboard.com, "I am so thrilled that E.T. has landed at number one.

I truly appreciate all the support of my creative twists and turns." The tune is expected to enjoy a long run at the top of the charts after Perry premieres the space-age video to accompany the song on U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight on Thursday (31Mar11).
Meanwhile, Perry’s pal Rihanna also climbs up a spot on the new chart - her S&M takes over at number two, and Cee Lo Green’s F**k You (Forget You) jumps back up the chart to three.
Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, which spent six weeks at number one, falls to number four and the Black Eyed Peas’ Just Can’t Get Enough rounds out the new top five.

She adds, "I was raised Catholic… (and) Miley (Cyrus) has one there. It’s so cool. It’s fun. It’s like, ‘I’m a good girl!’" And the actress wants to take her dad with her the next time she gets tattooed, in the hope the experience will inspire him.

GIAMATTI MAKES A CHARGE FOR SPIDER-MAN FOE THE RHINO

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:12 pm

Movie star PAUL GIAMATTI has launched a campaign to land a role as a villain in the upcoming SPIDER-MAN movie.
The Sideways actor wants to revive The Rhino from his youth - because the charging character remains one of his favourite comic book bad guys.
Giamatti made his case during an appearance on U.S. late-night show Conan on Tuesday (29Mar11), stating, "The Rhino was fantastic. He was, like, a Russian guy. He was real fast and he hit stuff real hard… He had, like, a rhino suit on, and his face was sticking out of the rhino suit and he had, like, a horn.
"I think I would be the best Rhino possible." So far, Andrew Garfield has been cast as Spider-Man and his supporting cast includes C. Thomas Howell, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans.
As for the villains in the new movie, Howell has let it slip that Spider-Man foe The Lizard appears, but so far there has been no mention of The Rhino, aka Aleksei Sytsevich.

BOREANAZ REACHES SETTLEMENT IN SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUIT

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:09 pm

Actor DAVID BOREANAZ has settled a lawsuit with a woman who accused him of sexual harassment while she worked as an extra on his hit TV show BONES.
Actress Kristina Hagan went public with her allegations against the former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star last July (10), a year after Boreanaz reportedly made a series of unwanted sexual advances towards her.
In her legal papers, she claimed Boreanaz’s bad behaviour included sending "inappropriate text messages", masturbating in front of her and attempting to "kiss her and touch her breasts".
She sued for damages from both Boreanaz and his TV bosses at Fox for the "emotional and psychological distress" she suffered as a result of the unwanted sexual interest, as well as lost earnings.
At the time of the lawsuit, Boreanaz was battling to save his marriage to Jaime Bergman after confessing to an affair, but his lawyer Marty Singer slammed Hagan’s claims, branding them "totally fabricated and absurd".
However, the actor can now put the scandal firmly behind him after reaching a settlement with Hagan and her attorney, Gloria Allred, according to TMZ.com.
Details of the deal are confidential.

ACTRESS BANKS IS A MUM

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:09 pm

Actress ELIZABETH BANKS is a first-time mum after welcoming a baby boy, born via surrogate.
The W star and her husband, Max Handelman, are parents after years of failed fertility treatments.
Banks took to her personal blog on Wednesday (30Mar11) to announce the arrival of baby Felix.
She writes, "The one true hurdle I’ve faced in life is that I have a broken belly. After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy: We make a ‘baby cake’ and bake it in another woman’s ‘oven’.
"From that came two miracles. The first was meeting our carrier and her husband who were truly humbling in their decency and generosity. And the second miracle was the birth of our baby boy, Felix Handelman. Felix means happy and lucky in Latin. And true to his name, Felix is a very happy baby and a blessing on our life." Banks wed Handelman, her college sweetheart, in 1992.

YAHOO TEAMS WITH NEWS SHOW TO OFFER ROYAL COUPLE MARITAL ADVICE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:27 pm

The bosses at Internet search engine site Yahoo.com have teamed up with U.S. news show Access Hollywood to offer PRINCE WILLIAM and his bride-to-be KATE MIDDLETON tips for a happy marriage.
The couple will wed in London at the end of April (11) and now well-wishers can officially offer the royals advice.
Access Hollywood launched the project on Wednesday (30Mar11) with messages from movie royal Dame Helen Mirren and Glee star Jane Lynch.
The Queen star Mirren said, "The pressures on them are going to be so different. I don’t know how any marriage can survive those pressures, quite honestly, without a real, unbelievable sense of self-discipline and duty… The trick… is to give the other person as much freedom as possible.
"Freedom to be who and what they want to be. You’re there to support the other person, not to control them, to push them into being something that you want them to be." And lesbian Lynch added, "They’re going to be doing a lot of things outside (the marriage) and they have a lot of duties other than the duties to their marriage… but what happens at home is important.
"What I love about them is they’re not going to have the help; they’re not going to have the butlers and the maids… They’re going to keep it simple." Lynch, who wed Lara Embry last year (10), admits she was personally asked by bosses at Yahoo to help them launch their marriage advice site.
She adds, "We’re a same sex couple and we’ve been kind of out there as kind of an example and we were really thrilled that they asked asked us and we take that responsibility seriously. We know a lot of people are looking to us."

GALLAGHER TAKES AIM AT CASABLANCAS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 8:24 pm

LIAM GALLAGHER has taken a swipe at THE STROKES frontman JULIAN CASABLANCAS, insisting the singer clearly wants to ditch his bandmates and launch a solo career.
The Beady Eye rocker is baffled by the Last Nite hitmakers’ popularity and is adamant the New York band has a bad "vibe".
And he singles out Casablancas for criticism because he’s convinced the frontman makes it look like a "chore" to be performing with his bandmates.
Gallagher tells NME, "That singer just seems like he doesn’t want to be in a band with them. It’s like f**king go; bog off (go away). It seems like it’s a chore for him, you know what I mean?… How can kids be into a band like that? How can they not get that vibe, man? It’s like, f**k, come over to the Beady Eye side!"
