OSBOURNE PROMOTED IN MADHOUSE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:57 am

KELLY OSBOURNE’s stint in vaudeville has proved a hit in Hollywood - the reality TV star has been promoted to creative director of Beacher’s Madhouse.
Earlier this year (11), Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter was brought in to replace David Arquette as the celebrity adviser behind showman Jeff Beacher’s wacky new show at the Roosevelt Hotel, after the Scream actor stepped down to focus on his sobriety battle.
And Osbourne has made quite the impression on Beacher - he’s handed her creative control of the production, according to the New York Post’s Page Six column.
The 26 year old will work alongside Arquette, who recently rejoined the Madhouse as show co-host.

CHRISTMAS BIRTH HELPED SIR ELTON KEEP BABY A SECRET

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

SIR ELTON JOHN is grateful his baby boy was born on Christmas Day (25Dec10), because the hospital was so deserted, it allowed the singer time to enjoy the first few hours of fatherhood in private before sharing his secret with the world.
The Rocket Man and his partner David Furnish welcomed their first child, Zachary, via a surrogate and the couple admits his festive birth was a blessing in disguise.
In an interview on U.S. news show 20/20, which aired on Friday night (22Apr11), Furnish says, "It was actually ideal in terms of a secrecy standpoint as well because when we walked into the maternity ward at Cedars-Sinai, it was empty, there was nobody there." Sir Elton continues, "Nobody wants to have a Christmas baby. People want to have them early or they have them induced or they have a Caesarean, so from a secrecy point of view, it worked in our favour so well." The new parents are already looking to the future and Furnish insists they are open to the idea of expanding their family: "We’re talking about it, but we haven’t made up our minds yet. It’s not an impossibility." The couple plans on telling little Zachary all about how he came into the world when he’s old enough to understand, and Sir Elton reveals the surrogate mother will always be involved in the child’s upbringing.
He says, "She and her family will be still a part of our lives when he’s growing up."

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

British pop stars GIRLS ALOUD will reunite next year (12) to mark the band’s 10th anniversary.
The girl group was formed in 2002 when each of the singers won their place by competing in TV talent contest Popstars The Rivals.

Girls Aloud’s manager Hilary Shaw has now confirmed the band will get back together in 2012 to celebrate 10 years in the spotlight, telling Britain’s The People newspaper, "Everybody wants them to make a comeback and it will be next year. Well, it is their 10th anniversary so there will be something." Shaw also dismissed rumours the band will reunite without Cole, adding, "Cheryl is keen to get back with the girls and is planning something which could be a one-off or some gigs.â€

FLAVOR FLAV PULLS NAME FROM IOWA FRIED CHICKEN RESTAURANT

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

Hip-hop veteran FLAVOR FLAV is withdrawing his name from his troubled fast food restaurant in Iowa after accusing his business partner of bad management.
The Public Enemy star launched Flav’s Fried Chicken in January (11) with Nick Cimino, but the venture hit headlines earlier this month (Apr11) when a number of employees claimed their pay cheques had bounced.
Flavor Flav dismissed the allegations, blaming disgrunted former staff members for spreading false rumours, but now the rapper has pulled out of the business deal altogether.
He tells TMZ.com, "I had a licensing agreement with Nick Cimino and that’s all we had. It was his business to run from there and the business was not run right." And the star reveals the final straw came when he paid a visit to the chicken joint and was disgusted by what he found in the kitchen.
He says, "Let me be straight up with you, I went up inside there on April 2 and I found potato salad that expired on February 28. And it’s then when I realised I can’t do business with this man and I really hope no one ate those potatoes." But Flav isn’t giving up on the catering business - he’s secured a deal to open Flavor Flav’s House of Flavor in Las Vegas next month (May11). The venue will feature a restaurant, a bar, a studio and a stage for live performances.

PIVEN’S FIRST DRIVING EXPERIENCE ALMOST ENDED IN TRAGEDY

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

ENTOURAGE star JEREMY PIVEN will never forget his first experience behind the wheel - he almost crashed the car into a couple’s living room at Christmas.
The actor, 45, confesses his older brother Shira would take him out for a drive when he was a young teenager to help Piven obtain his licence.
But his first stint as a driver was a near disaster - because he had no idea where the brake pedal was.
Piven tells WENN, "I remember actually driving with Shira when I was very young and learning how to drive and I was not old enough to drive.
"It was icy in Chicago and I slid between two trees and I’m driving and there was this living room encased in glass and there was this couple in front of their Christmas tree and I’m just barreling towards them ’cause I didn’t know how to drive. I finally found where the brake was before I slid and crashed through their window into their living room! That was my first driving experience."

MORRISON TURNED OFF SEX BY DAD’S CANDID CHATS

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

GLEE star MATTHEW MORRISON spent his early years too scared to have sex after his midwife father told him horror stories of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and teenage pregnancies.
Morrison’s dad often regaled the star with tales from the delivery room and made a point of showing his young son a detailed book about STDs to make sure he was careful when it came to sex.
The actor/singer admits his father’s blunt talks "scared" him and he spent years worrying about being intimate with a girl.
He tells Britain’s Star magazine, "My birds and the bees talk was epic. My dad is a midwife who delivers babies for a living, so he would come home every day and tell me about a 12-year-old girl whose baby he delivered.
"He had this big book with these very vivid pictures of every single STD and he would show me all of them. I was so scared of sex when I was growing up."

BUSEY BACKING TRUMP’S BID TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT

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

Veteran actor GARY BUSEY has thrown his full support behind DONALD TRUMP’s plans to run for U.S. president in 2012, insisting the property mogul is the right person for the job.
Billionaire Trump is seriously contemplating challenging current leader Barack Obama for the White House next year (12) and he can count on one vote from his Celebrity Apprentice star Busey.
The businessman has yet to officially declare his political intentions, but the Lethal Weapon actor is already spreading the word.
Busey tells WENN, "I’m campaigning for him now. Donald Trump has the wherewithal, the knowledge and the awareness of this country. He wants to turn it back to where the founders had it.
"We have an administration now which I do respect the sitting President but it’s a mess. It’s a government takeover of middle class America. They keep spending not worrying about the deficit or the budget. Donald Trump will turn that around. I’m campaigning for him now and I will continue to campaign for him."

DEKKER SUFFERED PERSONAL TRAUMA ON ANGELS CREST

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

Actor THOMAS DEKKER drew heavily on his personal trauma for inspiration as he shot new drama ANGELS CREST - his father was dying as he portrayed a heartbroken dad on film.
The former Heroes star plays Ethan, a young father whose son dies after a tragic turn of events, in the movie, which also features Jeremy Piven and Mira Sorvino.
Dekker, 23, admits he didn’t have to look far to convey the deep emotion he was already experiencing as his own parent was losing his life.
But the actor forced himself to separate his personal and professional lives so his own grieving process wasn’t played out completely onscreen.
He tells WENN, "That shock (of losing my son in the film) happened naturally… I don’t think it’s healthy for actors to use personal issues as inspiration. I was hurting so bad on this movie. It was a very painful time because my father was dying while we shot this movie and I realised halfway through that I was using all the personal grief and pain that was not healthy. I had to figure out for the rest of the shoot how to put that aside and focus on the story." However, Dekker reveals he bonded well with his onscreen kid, played by Ameko Eks Mas Carroll, and emerged from the shoot longing to start a family.
He says, "I really connected with the boy who plays my son. We spent two weeks together all day and every day going to the zoo. He’s just this amazing little boy so it was easy to slide into that father role.
"I left this movie wanting to have a child which I never felt before because I fell in love with the little boy playing my son."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 12:24 am

CHARLIE SHEEN’s winning ways have suffered a blow - he’s been dumped by former porn star RACHEL OBERLIN.
The troubled actor has been boasting about his love life with his two "goddesses", adult star Oberlin, aka Bree Olson, and nanny Natalie Kenly, since hitting the headlines with his drink and drug-fuelled TV rants earlier this year (11).
Sheen’s girlfriends have even joined him on the road as he tours North America with his one-man show, but it appears Oberlin has had enough - she recently dumped the actor via text message.
The former Two and a Half Men star broke the news to fans during a question and answer session at his show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday (23Apr11), when one attendee asked him how he handled the attentions of two women at once.
He replied, "Not well, because one left." It’s not the first time Oberlin has walked out on Sheen - she briefly split from the actor in March (11), but reunited with him a day later.

RICHARDS USED SUPERGLUE TO FIX TEETH

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 12:24 am

ROLLING STONES rocker KEITH RICHARDS once used heavy duty household glue to fix his teeth when his veneers fell out, according to his bandmate RONNIE WOOD.
Wood opened up about his own dental make-over in an interview with Britain’s The Guardian newspaper, revealing his porcelain caps frequently come loose and his girlfriend Ana Araujo often has to help him fix them back in place with special dental glue.
And he also revealed that Richards once tried the same trick - but used an extra-strength adhesive to mend his smile.
Wood says, "A couple of these (teeth) have fallen out. I got the Superglue out. Luckily, last time this one fell out Ana had some glue in her cupboard." When asked whether he really used Superglue, he replied, "Nah, it was dental glue. Keith did it with superglue once. It’s a good stand-by."
