BRET MICHAELS has pledged to donate TVs and sound systems to revamp a waiting room at the hospital where he underwent treatment for a brain haemorrhage last year (10).

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:28 pm

British singer GARY BARLOW is set to perform his first full solo shows in more than a decade.

CHER FURIOUS OVER DANCING JUDGE’S COMMENTS

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:28 pm

CHER has lashed out at a judge on U.S. TV show DANCING WITH THE STARS after he ridiculed her son CHAZ BONO’s ballroom skills on Monday night (24Oct11).
The transgender star has been competing with professional dancer Lacey Schwimmer in the contest, and on Monday, they performed a Phantom of the Opera-inspired tango as part of the show’s Broadway week.
The routine failed to impress the judges, with panellist Bruno Tonioli comparing his moves to "a cute little penguin trying to be a big menacing bird of prey".
And the comments hit a nerve with Bono’s superstar mum, who took to Twitter to take Tonioli to task over his remarks.
She writes, "That guy has no room 2 (to) talk "Little penguins"… I find it disrespectful that Bruno refers to Chaz as a "little penguin"…
"Is it DWTS or Looking Perfect WTS (what the s**t)? Its easy 4 (for) him 2 (to) take cheap shots at chaz! Let him come 2 (to) "my" stage.
"I could teach his little arm waving a** some manners! Critique Chaz’s dance style, movements etc, but don’t make fun of my child on nat.tv (national television).
"It’s not about Chaz winning! He’s doing his best & he will stay as long as he stays! Thats "show business" but, dont b (be) unkind 4 (for) no reason.
"Mean is not funny… Bruno’s reason, pure selfishness! His only concern was 2b (to be his) usual funny animated self, at Chaz’s expense!"

LESLIE SUED OVER LAPTOP REWARD

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:25 pm

R&B singer/producer RYAN LESLIE is facing legal action for allegedly failing to stick to his promise of paying $1 million (£625,000) for the safe return of his laptop.
The star was on tour in Europe when a thief stole the computer, which contained unreleased songs, from his car in Germany last October (10) and Leslie was so desperate to get back the Apple MacBook, he increased his initial reward offer of $20,000 (£13,300) to $1 million in a video posted on YouTube.com.
The laptop was returned by a man who claims he found it in a bag while walking through a forest. He handed in the lost property to local authorities, who reportedly reunited Leslie with his gadget.
However, the man - identified as Armin Augstein - accused the star of reneging of his deal earlier this year (11) after failing to reply to his emails and tweets, and now he is suing Leslie for the money.
According to the lawsuit filed at the U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Monday (24Oct11), Augstein is seeking the $1 million fee plus interest.
Leslie’s rep had not responded to the suit as WENN went to press.

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 1:22 pm

GERARD BUTLER has thrown his support behind a campaign to stop the closure of a children’s hospital ward in his native Scotland.
The 300 actor is angry after hearing chiefs at the NHS (National Health Service) Greater Glasgow and Clyde health board are threatening to axe the kids’ ward at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, near Glasgow.
And he has vowed to front a protest against the decision, which will see the loss of jobs and services in the local area.

GALLAGHER ENDED DRUG-FUELLED DAYS AFTER RUDE AWAKENING

Posted in: Entertainment — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 2:52 am

NOEL GALLAGHER knew it was time to leave his hedonistic, drug-fuelled lifestyle behind when he woke up to find his house full of strangers.
The former Oasis rocker threw himself into the rock ‘n roll lifestyle after the British group first shot to fame in the 1990s, and famously blew through an estimated $1.5 million (£1 million) on drugs.
But the star reveals that the turnaround came after a wild party in 1998, when he finally had had enough of talking to random people he met during his binges.
He tells Britain’s The Jo Whiley Music Show, "I got up one morning, it was in 1998, during the World Cup, and Germany were playing Italy, and there were a load of people in my house, and I didn’t know any of them, carrying on the party from the night before.
"The first thing I did was I went to the fridge and got a beer, and got back on it, and then thought, ‘I’ve done this, I’ve been through this’, and thought that this weekend I would end up speaking to a stranger about the pyramids."
