Crash Wasn’t Stunt

Filed under: Celebrity News — March 30, 2007 @ 12:23 pm

Eddie Griffin has angrily slammed reports suggesting his Ferrari crash was a publicity stunt. He was taking part in a practice for a charity race at the Irwindale Speedway in California when he lost control of a pal’s sports car and crashed into a wall. Since the accident, critics have suggested the crash was a carefully staged stunt to gain publicity for Griffin’s upcoming movie ‘Redline,’ produced by the owner of the $1.5 million Ferrari. Griffin blasts, “You got crazy conspiracy theories that think it’s a hoax. The pain I got in my neck is not a hoax.”Griffin insists he could never crash such an expensive vehicle just for a publicity stunt: “How retarded do you got to be to think that somebody is going to wreck a million and a half dollar car as a hoax? Why would I want to be the one driving it and running it into a concrete divider as a hoax?” Griffin has canceled commitments for two weeks to allow him time to recover from the crash, and he says the accident has taught him a lesson. He adds, “I shouldn’t be behind the wheel in a car race. We will stick to microphones.”

Snoop’s Dublin Concerts

Filed under: Celebrity News — @ 1:22 pm

Snoop Dogg has vowed to go ahead with concert dates in Dublin, Ireland after he was forced to scrap his British tour following a visa ban. He was refused a visa to enter the UK by the country’s Foreign And Commonwealth Office and attempts to reverse the decision proved unsuccessful. His touring partner Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs subsequently canceled all the dates. Snoop is determined not to disappoint fans in Ireland, where he is scheduled to play two dates at Dublin’s Point Depot. Promotor Noel McHale says Snoop is a big attraction in Ireland, and warned fans may not see him on this side of the Atlantic again. He says, “Snoop loves Ireland and in the past has helped us with our charity fundraising Meteor Awards and at his appearance in Ireland at the music festival Oxegen, he drew the biggest crowd ever to the main stage at that festival.”This will probably be the last time to see him in Europe.” Authorities have not given a reason as to why Snoop’s visa was declined, but last year, he received a police caution following a fight in a lounge at London’s Heathrow Airport. Days after his caution in May 2006, the UK Home Office said Snoop would be banned from the country for the “foreseeable future” due to his caution and his previous convictions for firearms and drugs offences in the United States.

Appeals Court Rules

Filed under: Celebrity News — @ 1:23 pm

A lawsuit filed against ‘The Da Vinci Code’ author, Dan Brown has been thrown out of a London court after a judge ruled the writer did not steal plot ideas from other texts. Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, two of the three authors of ‘The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail,’alleged Brown had reproduced themes from their 1982 novel and filed a subsequent lawsuit against Random House, the publisher of both books. Their original suit was dismissed in April 2006, when the London’s High Court ruled Brown had not plagiarized themes from the authors’ work. Baigent and Leigh now face legal bills of $5.85 million. In a statement released after the appeal’s rejection, they said, “We believed, and still do, that non-fiction authors would suffer and be discouraged from extensive research if it was found that any author could take another’s ideas, ‘morph’ and repackage them, then sell them on.” Gail Rebuck, head of Random House, hailed the ruling as a victory for “creative writing”. She says, “Misguided claims like the one that we have faced, and the appeal, are not good for authors, and not good for publishers. But we are glad that the Court of Appeal has upheld the original judgment and that, once again, common sense and justice have prevailed, helping to ensure the future of creative writing in the UK.” Published in 2003, ‘The Da Vinci Code’ has now sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. The 2006 movie starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou has made over $750 million worldwide.

Reid, the chairman of Island/Def Jam, two years ago, has his contract up for renewal this year. But bosses reportedly have baulked at his outrageous cash demands.

Insiders claim Reid is questioning how much time Jay-Z can devote to the label now that he has come out of his own self-imposed music retirement and is touring again. His other time-consuming business interests include his chain of 40/40 nightclubs and stakes in clothing label Rocawear, the New Jersey Nets basketball team and a Champagne company. Reid is also rumored to be jealous of the attention and respect Jay-Z receives. However, Reid denies there is any friction between him and Jay-Z. He said: “We really love Jay.

Diddy Tour Canceled

Filed under: Celebrity News — @ 12:13 pm

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was reportedly devastated when his tour partner Snoop Dogg was denied entry to Britain following a brawl at Heathrow airport last year. Diddy said: “For me, the tour being called off here feels like someone has canceled the cup final at the last minute.”"Snoop and I are both upset about it because we don’t want to let the fans down. It doesn’t matter to me about the money that will be lost, I just care about the fans,” he claimed. But evidently, it’s not always about the fans. Diddy shocked nightclub bosses by demanding $980,000 of freebies for his planned after-show party. Diddy reportedly insisted London’s The Collection Club provided luxury cars and $294,000 in expenses. The Collection Club offered to host Diddy’s after-show party for free, but were stunned by the request for a $151,000 chauffeur-driven Masarati Quattroporte, $470,000 Rolls-Royce, $563,000 Mercedes Maybach and three black SUV vehicles. Diddy was offered a $5,800-a-night Knightsbridge hotel suite, but his staff insisted on seeing photographs of the three bedroom apartment before checking in. The club planned to serve Veuve Cliquot champagne to 200 guests when they arrived and Cristal champagne to the VIP area all night, at a cost of $196,000. However, Diddy demanded $588,000 worth of Krug champagne. The South Kensington club agreed to provide Diddy with the luxury cars and accommodation, but rejected his expenses demands. A source said: “We reached a stalemate with Diddy. His list of demands was ridiculous.”
