50 CENT UNSURE ABOUT LABEL FUTURE AFTER SPAT WITH COMPANY BOSSES

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:16 pm

Rapper 50 CENT is contemplating quitting his record label after a feud with bosses threatened to delay his new album.
The In Da Club hitmaker was busy working on his next musical release until he had a heated exchange with Interscope chiefs last month (May11), accusing them of "moving in slow motion".
He warned his bosses that unless they worked harder to make the release a success, he would put a hold on the new material, and he has now admitted the feud has made him unsure about staying with the label.
He tells MTV.com, "I don’t know. It will all be clear in the negotiations following me turning this actual album in.
"And, of course, the performance and how they actually treat the work will determine whether you (I) still want to stay in that position or not."

BONO GIVES THANKS TO SURGEONS WHO FIXED HIS BACK

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:13 pm

Rocker BONO has publicly thanked the German surgeons who mended his back last year (10) and gave him a new lease of life.
The U2 frontman was forced to scrap a series of U2 shows last summer (11), including a headlining slot at Britain’s Glastonbury festival, after rupturing a spinal disc during a horrible fall.
He spent months in hospital and underwent extensive physiotherapy and the rocker is now more thankful than ever to be taking the stage again after briefly fearing he would never be able to perform again.
While rehearsing for the 2011 Glastonbury festival, the hitmaker has been making light of his scary injury, jokingly referring to himself as "Robo-Bono".
And in video footage captured by The Sun, he says, "So - Bono 2.0. Through the wonders of science I’m not just fixed, I’m better. Last year I came out of surgery in Munich and it went very well. If it hadn’t then things could have been very different for me."

VANILLA ICE LAUNCHES REAL ESTATE ADVICE WEBSITE

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:13 pm

Much-maligned rapper VANILLA ICE has launched a new website, offering property-buying tips.
The Ice Ice Baby became a successful real estate businessman after his hip-hop career ended 15 years ago - and he has become somewhat of an expert in buying and selling homes.
Now he’s hoping to offer others the benefit of his knowledge and techniques through his new website VanillaIceRealEstate.com.
He tells AllHipHop.com, "When Ice Ice Baby was selling a million records a day, I bought several properties; a home next to Michael J. Fox in L.A., a palace in Miami, and a mountain cabin in Utah.
"Then, a few years later, I took a break from touring, saw that my properties had cobwebs, so I sold them, and, to my surprise, I made a huge profit!" His real estate expertise has already landed him a reality TV show, The Vanilla Ice Project, in which he renovates homes in Florida.
He adds, "I’ve been flooded with requests from viewers of my show to teach them how to succeed at real estate."

TATUM: ‘DAD’S INTERVIEW REMARKS HAVE BEEN MISCONSTRUED’

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:07 pm

Actress TATUM O’NEAL insists her new reality show with her father is helping them end years of estrangement - even though he’s still struggling to say the right things.
The O’Neals debuted their new show Ryan & Tatum on Oprah Winfrey’s OWN TV network in America at the weekend (19Jun11), but it’s comments the movie veteran has made in interviews promoting the show that have grabbed the headlines.
Speaking to CNN newsman Piers Morgan, Ryan suggested his daughter may have been partly responsible for his longtime partner Farrah Fawcett’s cancer death and he has also accused Tatum of "faking" suicides and lying about her introduction to drugs and alcohol.
Speaking to Morgan during an appearance on his show on Monday night (20Jun11), O’Neal said, ""I just think that if she (Fawcett) had never met us, would she still be alive today… because nobody knows what causes cancer, do they really? There was turmoil during my love affair with Farrah, a lot of it caused by my family - particularly Tatum." But his daughter has taken his remarks lightly and in an appearance on U.S. magazine show Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday (22Jun11), she played down his comments, stating, "I listened to the whole interview and I think he sort of started trying to say things and then he kind of came all the way round and pulled it back and said, ‘I do need to try harder, I do need to go further and make the changes I haven’t made.’ I think he is definitely trying.
"I think that he’s sort of come off badly recently and I don’t think that’s fair and a lot of his interviews have been misconstrued… Nothing’s perfect but we’re trying." And she insists the tough-to-watch reality TV show is helping to bring father and daughter closer together - because her father has to talk to her when the cameras are rolling: "He tends to have more impetus to talk if he’s being (sic) on camera… because he can’t run away. Some people don’t like to have that conversation with their daughter." But her father has quite some way to go before he understands how his actions have driven his family away in the past.
Tatum adds, "Everybody’s in their own process; I’m way farther along than he is… People are seeing him as not possibly the best dad that he could have been and it’s his opportunity now to come back and be the man that he could be and wants to be.
"I give him a lot of props for putting himself out there in a kind of family drama that can hopefully help a lot of people."

POLICE CONFIRM DUNN WAS DRUNK AT TIME OF CRASH

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 11:07 pm

JACKASS star RYAN DUNN was extremely intoxicated at the time of his fatal crash, according to a new police report.
Dunn and a pal were killed in the early hours of Monday morning (20Jun11) when the daredevil’s Porsche spun out of control, crashed into trees in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania and burst into flames.
A photo reportedly posted online hours before the tragedy showed Dunn and two friends sipping drinks in a bar, sparking speculation alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.
Police Chief Michael Carroll has confirmed Dunn was in fact drunk at the time of the incident - the star’s blood alcohol level was reportedly over two times the legal U.S. driving limit.
Carroll tells the Daily Local News, "No other substances were found in his blood other than the alcohol." The report also suggests Dunn may have been driving as fast as 140mph (225kph) before losing control of his sportscar.
Dunn’s passenger, a Jackass production assistant, has since been identified as Zachary Hartwell.
Full toxicology reports on both men are expected next month (Jul11).
