DEPP WANTS TO ‘HOLD OFF’ ON FIFTH PIRATES MOVIE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:27 pm

JOHNNY DEPP is already eyeing up a fifth PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movie - but he wants to "hold off" on the project until he’s ready to make it "special" enough.
The actor has finished wrapping the fourth film in the swashbuckling franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which is due to hit cinema screens later this month (May11).
Depp, along with filmmakers Rob Marshall and Jerry Bruckheimer, have already shown an interest in making another Pirates movie, but Depp refuses to rush into it.
He tells the Hollywood Reporter, "It’s not something where I would say, "Let’s shoot it next month to get it out by Christmas 2012. We should hold off for a bit. They should be special, just like they are special to me."

However, a representative from Marvel, the studio in charge of the movie, has denied there are troubles on the set, saying, "Filming on The Avengers is on schedule and going well."

NICKS: ‘MEDICATION RUINED MY LIFE’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:24 pm

Singer STEVIE NICKS regrets taking prescription medication to aid her drug addiction recovery - because it "ruined" a huge part of her life.
The Fleetwood Mac star struggled with substance abuse in the 1980s and she checked into the Betty Ford Center in California in 1986 to overcome her cocaine addiction.
The same year, a doctor prescribed tranquilisers to help her recovery - but Nicks admits the pills "nearly killed" her and took away eight years of her life.
She tells FOX411’s Pop Tarts, "The only thing I would change is walking into that psychiatrist’s office who prescribed me (the pills). That ruined my life for eight years.
"That was just a stupid doctor making a groupie mistake and just wanting me to come in there, tell him about all my music friends and young Hollywood, and that nearly ruined my life and nearly killed me.
"That’s eight years that I could have. God knows, maybe I would have met someone, maybe I would have had a baby. That was my prime eight years. That was a big mistake. Everything else was exactly how it should have been."

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:24 pm

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO paid a staggering $1.2 million (£750,000) for a painting by legendary artist SALVADOR DALI, according to a U.S. report.
The Inception star was bidding on two works by Pablo Picasso at Christie’s in New York earlier this week (begs02May11), but when he failed to win the items, he turned his attention to a piece by the surrealist.
Gallery worker Rachel Steckson tells the New York Post, "He bid on the Picassos, but it was clear the Dali was what he wanted. He turned around and was like, ‘Yes!’" DiCaprio is said to have bought the signed Chevaliers en parade piece, which shows a knight on horseback.

HILTON’S JIBE AT LOHAN IN NEW SHOW

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:21 pm

PARIS HILTON has taken aim at her former friend LINDSAY LOHAN on her new reality show by making a jibe about the actress’ recent court case involving an alleged necklace theft.
The Mean Girls star was handed 120 days in jail and 400 hours of community service last month (Apr11) after pleading not guilty to a misdemeanour charge relating to the alleged theft in January (11). Her arrest on the charge broke the terms of her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI case.
Now the socialite has mocked Lohan in her new show, The World According to Paris, after a woman at a homeless shelter mistook Hilton for the troubled star.
Generous Hilton handed a pair of earrings to the unnamed woman, who told her, "I’m going to give them to my sister as soon as I get back to Oklahoma and I’m going to tell them that Lindsay (gave them to me)… I thought you were supposed to be in rehab?" The hotel heiress responds, "I’m not Lindsay!", before adding in a voiceover: "If I were Lindsay I’d be stealing the earrings, not giving them away."

SQUIRE CREATES FRITZL AND SHIPMAN ART

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:21 pm

Former STONE ROSES guitarist JOHN SQUIRE has created abstract images of serial killer HAROLD SHIPMAN and incest monster JOSEF FRITZL for a new exhibition.
The rocker, a renowned and respected artist, has included the two notorious criminals among artwork at a gallery display in London, titled John Squire: Celebrity.
He has used patterns and symbols inspired by the mythical eight-pointed star in place of the subject’s face, and has named other pieces after actresses Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley, legendary director Woody Allen, and soccer superstar David Beckham.
Squire says, "It’s a brief respite from the endless bombardment of celebrity images. It asks: How often do we really need to see copies of complete strangers’ faces, and why do we collectively choose those particular people?" Shipman, a family doctor, murdered 15 patients by administering lethal injections at his surgery in England. Fritzl was caged for life in 2009 after pleading guilty to charges including incest and rape for keeping his daughter as a sex slave for 24 years in a basement dungeon at his home in Austria.
Squire’s exhibition runs at London’s Idea Generation gallery from June to July (11).

ADELE DRINKING AGAIN TO CELEBRATE SUCCESS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:21 pm

British singer ADELE is struggling to stay teetotal as she celebrates her success - her band always convinces her to toast her achievements with alcohol.
The Chasing Pavements hitmaker gave up booze in 2008 but took up drinking again to help her write her second album, 21.
She quit alcohol for a second time after confessing she hated not remembering her drunken antics - but after 21 topped the charts in dozens of countries earlier this year (11), Adele decided to celebrate with a drink.
She tells Britain’s The Sun, "When I work, I don’t drink. But touring is different. On the road as news was coming through about us going to number one in different places the band would all say, ‘Come on, Adele, have a celebration drink with us’.
"What was I meant to do, sit in my dressing room on my own with a mineral water?"

HASSELHOFF’S EX BACH BLASTS VON ANHALT OVER SURROGATE CLAIMS

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

A publicist for DAVID HASSELHOFF’s ex-wife has slammed ZSA ZSA GABOR’s husband PRINCE FREDERIC VON ANHALT after he suggested she had offered to be the surrogate for his child.
Von Anhalt has stunned the ailing actress’ family and friends by revealing he’s eager to become a father at the age of 67.
He explained his bizarre plans last month (Apr11), saying, "It was always my wife’s dream for us to have a child… and even though we won’t be using any of her eggs, she would be thrilled to know I’m going through with this." He was snapped shaking hands with Baywatch star Hasselhoff’s former partner Pamela Bach in Los Angeles on Monday (02May11), and reportedly told TMZ.com that the pair had discussed Bach acting as a surrogate.
However, a representative for the blonde has blasted the claims, telling the website, "We refuse to acknowledge the delusional ramblings of this man who clearly has done nothing more than plant a fictional tale in a desperate attempt for attention.
"Our sympathy to Ms. Gabor who is an innocent victim of his shenanigans." Von Anhalt’s claims come on the day his seriously ill, 94-year-old wife was rushed to hospital with pneumonia-related symptoms, which left her with fluid on the lungs.

LOWE MISSED OUT ON THE CHANCE TO DATE PARKER

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

ROB LOWE messed up a potential romance with SARAH JESSICA PARKER when he took his girlfriend along with him for their first date.
The oblivious actor had no idea the meeting between the two young stars was supposed to be a blind date and still considers what might have been.
He recalls, "(Our agents) arranged a meeting just so we could sort of get to know one another and I stupidly brought my girlfriend because I didn’t realise it was potentially, maybe a matchmaking thing." The former The West Wing star admits he and Parker have become friends over the years and they still laugh about their first meeting.
And the actress recently scolded him when he wrote about their failed blind date in his new memoir - because he got her eye colour wrong.
He adds, "I said that Sarah has brown eyes. It was my biggest flaw in the book. How could I have missed it? (She has) blue eyes… She sent a message to me: ‘How can you say my eyes are brown?’ Sorry Sarah."

COWELL MOVES ABOVE ROCK LEGENDS IN CASH COUNTDOWN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:24 am

Talent show tycoon SIMON COWELL is laughing all the way to the bank after jumping above SIR ELTON JOHN and SIR MICK JAGGER in the rich stakes, according to Britain’s Sunday Times Rich List.
The music mogul, famed for his judging roles on American Idol and The X Factor, rose from 11th place to number six on the newspaper’s 2011 music millionaires countdown thanks to his staggering $320 million (£200 million) fortune.
His wealth, which has increased by $56 million (£35 million) since 2010, takes him above rock legends John and Jagger, who are in seventh and eighth place on the list, with estimated bank balances of $312 million (£195 million) and $304 million (£190 million) respectively.
Sitting atop the list is Clive Calder, who sold Zomba Records in 2002 and has more than $2 billion in the bank.
Others in the money include Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber ($1.8 billion), Sir Cameron Mackintosh ($1.1 billion), Sir Paul McCartney ($792 million/£495 million), Simon Fuller ($600 million/£375 million), Sting ($288 million/£180 million) and Keith Richards ($280 million/£175 million).
But they have some competition from a set of modern money makers in the music industry - Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins is sitting pretty with a $20 million (£13 million) fortune, followed closely by Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis and Katie Melua who all have $19 million (£12 million). Joss Stone, Charlotte Church, Craig David, Paolo Nutini, Adele, Lily Allen, Natasha Bedingfield, Duffy and Amy Winehouse all have approximate fortunes of between $14 million (£9 million) and $9 million (£6 million).

TAKE THAT ‘TOO TALENTED’ AFTER WILLIAMS’ RETURN

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:24 am

GARY BARLOW admits he’s struggling to get used to having ROBBIE WILLIAMS back in TAKE THAT - because each member had carved out an individual role before his much-hyped return.
The band reunited with the Angels hitmaker last year (10) for the first time since he walked out on the group in its 1995 heyday.
The group, now with Williams, is gearing up to embark on a summer (11) tour of Europe as a five-piece, and has been in the studio writing new material.
But Barlow admits it’s hard to get used to having Williams working with the band again - because there is too much talent competing in the same room.
He tells Britain’s The Sun, "The band is different with Robbie. We work in a different way. What we have now is too much talent in the room.
"When Take That are a four, Mark (Owen) and myself are the leading songwriters. Jay (Jason Orange) joins in on the lyrics and Howard (Donald) starts with the melodies.
"Now you add Robbie and he and Mark are doing the same job - and I can do what they do too. You have three people writing. It’s a jigsaw."

DIAZ CONFUSED OVER MOVIE WITH EX TIMBERLAKE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:24 am

CAMERON DIAZ is baffled by the fuss surrounding her upcoming movie with ex-boyfriend JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, insisting she can’t understand the "mentality" of people who don’t get on with their former lovers.
The Charlie’s Angels beauty dated the pop star-turned-actor from 2003 to 2006, and they remained pals after breaking up.
After it was announced they would star opposite each other in new comedy Bad Teacher, gossip went in to a spin over how the former couple could work together in such close proximity.
But Diaz insists she hates living in the past and has no issues working with her ex-partner - because they only want "happiness" for one another and know how to have fun on screen.
She tells Britain’s Elle magazine, "Life is long. Why would you ever live in the past when you can live in the present, and allow the future to be bright and happy and exciting? There’s no reason.
"I think people’s mentality is, ‘It didn’t work out!’ But, like, what didn’t work out? What’s supposed to happen? I think a lot of people are married to people that they’re not romantic with any more. I just didn’t ever marry anybody that I then had to get divorced from. We break up. We move on.
"All I want for him is his happiness. And all he wants is my happiness. His isn’t reliant on me, and mine isn’t on him. It was at one point; we had that moment, but now… let’s make a movie. Let’s go have some fun. We’re good at being funny together. We know how to do that. That’s easy."

PRODUCER DEFENDS GAGA OVER COPYCAT ALLEGATIONS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 9:21 am

A producer who worked on LADY GAGA’s BORN THIS WAY track has slammed suggestions the track is a rip-off of MADONNA’s EXPRESS YOURSELF, insisting most modern songs sound familiar.
The Poker Face sensation came under fire following the release of the lead track of her second album earlier this year (11) after critics and fans pointed out the song’s tune is almost identical to that of the Material Girl’s classic.
However, DJ White Shadow, who helped produce the track, is convinced many songs currently in the charts sound like old tunes - and insists it is the kooky pop star who is the real victim of copycats.
He says, "I think it was bulls**t to be honest. I guess there are a hundred songs that you could put a pitch shift and a BPM (beats per minute) change on and loop and make them sound like anything. Actually there are five songs out that are exactly the same song, on the radio at the same time. Right now. Why doesn’t anyone ever bring that up? That’s a f**king felony.
"How many people have been copying Gaga since she came out? Oh, I have that answer: everyone. Have you seen all the lightning bolts painted on faces, or the one hand eye cover-ups during photos? "How about the fact that there was barely any dance music on the radio until Just Dance came out? Come on motherf**kers, let’s keep it real here. If we are going to talk about who is chasing who, I think we all know the answer to that." Gaga herself has vehemently denied she plagiarised Madonna’s song.
