Batman v Superman: First Look at Henry Cavill as Clark Kent

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has been building up fans’ anticipation since Warner Bros. studio announced that it’ll be the sequel to “Man of Steel”. While the studio has remained strictly mum regarding the film’s progression, we have been keeping an eye out for the latest updates of the sequel.

The result turned out to be quite pleasant because we now get a first look at Henry Cavill as Clark Kent on set of the movie!

A treat for a Monday morning for all our #HenryCavill fans. Henry is a great supporter of the @RM1664Challenge! http://t.co/q4HcEqw0Mr

On June 30, The Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund (RMCTF) released a special “eye treat” for Henry Cavill fans as they posted a picture of Henry Cavill on the set of “Batman v Superman”.

In the picture, the actor is seen donning a classic business suit while holding up a T-shirt in support of charity for Royal Marune 1664 Challenge. The picture hints the possibility that he is in his character’s costume as he is seen standing beside a chair with the name “Clark” written across it. Although Cavill isn’t wearing spectacles in the picture, it is possible that Cavill is going to be the bespectacled Daily Beast reporter Clark Kent when he’s not in his Superman suit.

Set to arrive in theatres May 2016, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is just the beginning of the upcoming DC superhero films by Warner Bros. Studio. It is almost impossible for us to not hyperventilate over this photo and we can’t imagine how we are going to deal with all of them once the official photos are out!


Ray Fisher’s Cyborg Cameo Written Out Of “The Flash”

Well apparently, chances of Ray Fisher’s cameo appearance as Cyborg in Andy Muschietti’s “The Flash” are completely worthless and non-existent at this point. These long-standing rumours were just made up and were never planned at all apparently.

The controversy revolving around Fisher and other staff working on “The Flash” still perpetuates. The actor stated that he never wanted to be involved in this project via Twitter last week.

Warner Bros. took his request very seriously. Unfortunately, this leads to Cyborg being written out of the screenplay. The recasting of the character will not be initiated at all, leading many to wonder what will happen to the robotically engineered hero. Expect fans to enrage, questioning where Cyborg will fit in the future of DCEU.

According to Mark Hughes, “The rumours of Cyborg recasting are a lie, Cyborg is not in The Flash and the role is not being recast. I’ve confirmed this with the studio. The rumour is FALSE“.

The rumors of Cyborg recasting are a lie, Cyborg is not in The Flash and the role is not being recast. I’ve confirmed this with the studio. The rumor is FALSE.

— Mark Hughes (@markhughesfilms) January 5, 2021

Because of Fisher’s refusal to be associated with any work involving DC Films President Walter Hamada, this resignation was to be expected. The beef between Fisher and Hamada started last July when the actor accused “Justice League” director Joss Whedon of “gross, abusive, unprofessional” behaviour behind the scenes.

Fisher stated that the director’s behaviour was influenced by former DC Entertainment president Geoff Johns. It was also enabled by the former co-president of production at WB, Jon Berg. Both have left the company in 2017.

Fisher resigned from the role last week due to his perpetuating beef with DC Films President Walter Hamada. The actor made a statement on Twitter last week, “Walter Hamada is the most dangerous kind of enabler. He lies, and WB PR’s failed Sept. 4th hit-piece sought to undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation”.

The actor continued his tweet, “I will not participate in any production associated with him”. Keep in mind that Hamada was not an executive producer for “Justice League”, nor was he the head of DC Films during that time. On Tuesday, it was notified that Hamada had re-upped his deal as DC Films president until 2023. Fisher stated that the news was “reactionary” on Twitter a day after.

It’s weird how these reactionary announcements from @wbpictures always forget to mention that Walter Hamada was working directly with Geoff Johns and Toby Emmerich (on Shazam) DURING Justice League reshoots…

— Ray Fisher (@ray8fisher) January 6, 2021

Warner Bros. started an independent investigation last mid-August. The move was celebrated by Fisher himself. However, on 4th September, the actor criticised the company on Twitter, stating, “After speaking out about ‘Justice League’, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns. I will not.”

Later that day, Warner Bros. denied Fisher’s allegation against Hamada and mentioned the actor never accused anybody of “actionable conduct”. Warner Bros. also stated that Fisher rejected speaking to the investigator despite multiple attempts to contact him.

WarnerMedia released a statement on 11th December that the company had concluded the investigation in allegations by Fisher of inappropriate conduct within the production of “Justice League”. “Remedial action” was taken, but WarnerMedia refused to make clarifications based on that.

Fisher’s appearance in the DCEU as Cyborg was a shortcoming. Unfortunately, it’s time to bid farewell to any chances of Cyborg ever appearing in “The Flash”. It doesn’t help that lead actor Ezra Miller, was involved in his own controversy when he choked a fangirl last year.

#Furious8: Vin Diesel & Ludacris Teases Fans With Promo Poster

The “Fast & Furious” franchise won’t ever be the same again without Paul Walker, but Vin Diesel shows us that it could be just as awesome.

In an Instagram post, the actor teased fans with a “Fast & Furious 8” promo photo/poster. Cast member Ludacris also posted the same photo on his Instagram as well.

The Brooklyn Bridge can be seen amongst the New York skyline in the photo, which seemed to confirm that the new movie will be set in New York City, as hinted by Diesel. The blood-splattered metallic logo also seemed to suggest that the high octane sequel will be a lot more grittier than the previous films.

No official source has disclosed anything about the storyline, but fans of the franchise are speculating that the 8th instalment could see Dominic Toretto and his band of outlaws facing “the shadowy government forces” controlled by Mr. Nobody (played by Kurt Russell).

This piece of rumour was further confirmed when Diesel let slip a crucial piece of information during his appearance in “Jimmy Kimmel Live“. He said:

I always think of these films multiple pictures in advance. Kurt Russell came in for this movie but we really hired him for a story that follows this that takes place in New York.

When asked if Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be returning for the sequel, both of them answered in the affirmative.

With his Instagram post, it seems like Ludacris has also jumped aboard the production as well. Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Else Pataky are also expected to reprise their roles, but it is unsure if Jordana Brewster and Jason Statham will return.

“Fast & Furious 8” is currently slated for release on 14th April 2017.

Transgender Artist, Chella Man To Play Jericho In Season 2 “Titans”

It is official. DC “Titans” is welcoming a new member into the family.

Transgender and deaf artist, Chella Man is set to join the cast of “Titans” as Jericho, also known as Joseph Wilson who is the son of the infamous supervillain Deathstroke.

A post shared by Chella Man (@chellaman)

First introduced in 1984’s “Tales of the Teen Titans #43”, the character has the ability to possess any being through eye contact.

Unfortunately, Jericho is deaf and uses sign language to communicate. This unfortunate event was caused due to Deathstroke’s failure of saving Jericho from having his vocal cords damaged by assassins.

Fortunately, unlike his murderous father, Jericho is a softie at heart. While his sexuality wasn’t explored much in the comics, his modern interpretation portrays him as bisexual.

Following DC’s announcement, Chella Man took to Instagram to express his excitement for the role, “As a trans, Deaf, Jewish person of colour, I have always reminded myself of the power in my differences.”

“It is a dream come true, now, as I will be able to showcase this power on Titans. HUGE thank you to all who have supported me throughout this process!”

Before landing on this role, Man gained popularity on YouTube for his journey transitioning from a woman to a man. To date, Man has over 214,987 subscribers on the platform.

In addition, Man was signed as a model to IMG, and has openly spoken about issues regarding gender, identity, race, and disability.

“Scaly Shopper” Makes A Slippery Special Appearance At 1 Utama Shopping Centre

1 Utama Shopping Centre, the mall located at Bandar Utama, also the largest shopping mall in Malaysia, took to their Facebook page this morning to share a surprising, slippery find. From what we gather, an “early riser” in the form of a 6-foot (reticulated?) python decided to hit the mall this morning. The scaly shopper was spotted at the 4th floor carpark, before it was caught swiftly by the 1 Utama Shopping Centre carpark officers, with the help of the Fire and Rescue Department (BOMBA).

According to the 1 Utama Shopping Centre management, the snake was then taken away safely. See the pictures of the scaly adventure below:

Note: The reticulated python is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. They are the world’s longest snakes and longest reptiles, and among the three heaviest snakes. Like all pythons, they are nonvenomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans.

It is unclear if the snake was found at the New Wing or the Old Wing carpark, but the comments on 1 Utama Shopping Centre’s Facebook post are, of course, a hoot. “Shopping ma…gaji sudah masuk,” wrote on netizen while another said, “It was trying to catch a movie at GSCinemas. Hahaha.” We don’t know about you but we’re just glad that neither the python nor anyone else got hurt!

Godzilla vs. Kong Review: Worth For The Epic Fight Scenes But Nothing More

Most blockbuster movies have one thing in common, and that’s having cool badass fight scenes or brawls between good and evil. Sometimes it’s just misunderstandings between two sides, causing them to be on opposing ends. But imagine a movie where it’s centered around two specific opponents. Yes, there are films that do feature this gimmick and are usually purposeful for fight scene galore. Moreover, they often have a specific word that goes with their titles called ‘versus’ or in short, ‘vs’.

The main issue with these ‘versus’ films is that they never really strike a chord with critics. So, will the newly-released “Godzilla vs. Kong” prove them wrong? Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like it. But in all honesty, who cares right? It’s clear that these films are meant for visual fights alone and filmgoers just want some enjoyment and be entertained. However, that doesn’t excuse other elements being so half-assed in this movie.

Adam Wingard is the director of “Godzilla vs. Kong”, who’s made the critically acclaimed horror home invasion film “You’re Next”. However, he’s also made some very subpar and poorly received films like the unnecessary spin-off found-footage horror, “Blair Witch” and the live-action film adaptation of popular anime series with a white-washed main lead, “Death Note”. So, many felt that “Godzilla vs. Kong” being Wingard’s first directed blockbuster movie could go either way.

This is very reminiscent of Michael Dougherty’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” who also created low-budget horror films like “Trick ’r Treat” and “Krampus”. Seeing Wingard tackling a big-budget film seemed intriguing. Low-budget horror film directors have been venturing into bigger films and have proven to be successful. It’s worth mentioning that Dougherty is also the writer for “Godzilla vs. Kong”.

The movie also features Alexander Skarsgård, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri (小栗旬), Eiza González, Julian Dennison, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir, and Kaylee Hottle.

For the pros of “Godzilla vs. Kong”, the film sells very well on its fight scenes. Thus, the title of the movie is very fitting. Seeing two iconic gargantuan titans fighting each other just feels so rewarding. No matter which side you’re on, both Godzilla and King Kong are iconic in their own right. The effects are phenomenal and pretty much the saving grace of this movie – which isn’t saying much, as the film’s main drawing point are the two monsters clashing. There is also a typical big corporate villain but he turned out to be just an underwhelming and uninteresting character.

While the actors did all their best with their performances, actor Alexander Skarsgård stood out the most as he felt somewhat refreshing. He wasn’t some alpha male lead nor was he acting tough, as his character, Dr. Nathan Lind seemed very aloof and cowardly. “Iron Man 3” actress Rebecca Hall also puts on a stunning performance as Dr. Ilene Andrews alongside deaf child actress Kaylee Hottle, who plays a young orphan Iwi child named Jia. (Fun fact: It was nice to see a real-life deaf girl playing an actual deaf character.)

“Godzilla vs. Kong” also has a wonderful soundtrack, albeit nothing too spectacular. During certain fight scenes, the soundtrack wasn’t even properly utilised. Had this been incorporated, it would’ve made all the destruction and explosions sound more satisfying.

While the movie does come with promising action-packed fun, there’s one major problem to be said about “Godzilla vs. Kong” and that was the human characters. Aside from Nathan, Ilene, and Jia, most of the other characters felt so pointless and cliche. All the villains in this movie felt uncompelling and lackluster.

Millie Bobbie Brown’s character, Madison Russell comes back but somehow feels irrelevant to this story. Her whole reason of being here was to convince people that Godzilla isn’t evil but it never really results in anything. The worst part is Kyle Chandler as Madison’s father, Mark Russell. Removing him from the movie wouldn’t affect the film at all. His only character trait is being overly concerned about his daughter.

You also have Julian Dennison’s Josh Valentine and Brian Tyree Henry’s Bernie Hayes, both of whom accompany Madison throughout the film but were mostly annoying and only present for comedy relief. That leads to the next problem, comedy. This movie tries to ham-fist jokes that are so poorly constructed. Both Josh and Bernie fall victim to this and barely made us chuckled. Sometimes it ruins the tension of the film. Perhaps hire some comedy writers if you’re gonna add some humorous elements?

One very nitpicky issue with this movie is the lack of racial diversity. The only good representation “Godzilla vs. Kong” had to offer is the deaf girl. However, this movie just reeks of white heroism. The only two non-white characters in this film were Bernies Hayes and Shun Oguri’s Ren Serizawa. Obviously, this movie is based on a Japanese monster icon, yet it’s ironic how the only Japanese or Asian character gets nothing out of this movie.

The movie also felt kind of predictable. Most ‘versus’ films normally result in both opponents never winning or losing and always meeting on equal terms near the end of these films. But giving that both Godzilla and King Kong are mostly saviours, it makes total sense for this to happen.

Also, “Godzilla vs. Kong” had an abrupt ending which felt very lazy. You have both Godzilla and King Kong taking on each other in the city of Hong Kong, resulting in multiple destructions of buildings, skyscrapers, and roads. Basically, almost the whole city was torn apart. Obviously, there’s gonna be loads of casualties right? Those wanting to see the aftermath of what happened will be left disappointed.

Overall, “Godzilla vs. Kong” is an alright film that serves its purpose of presenting audiences with spectacular and engaging fight scenes between the two titular beasts. Unfortunately, the human characters in this movie were a major issue. Nathan Lind, Ilene Andrews, and Jia were the only likable ones in the film whereas the other characters fell flat.

All that aside, this is a movie that shouldn’t be taken too seriously. If you’re looking forward to the fight scenes alone, then you won’t be too disappointed. It’s good fun!

You can catch “Godzilla vs. Kong” in cinemas on 24th March.

Eternity: 5 Things We Learned During Ong Seong Wu’s Press Conference

It hasn’t been too long since Wanna One left an 11-membered- shaped-hole in the hearts of Wannables everywhere. Despite having a great run for a short lived group, their legacy is one that will be talked about in the history of K-pop for years to come. Though now the ultimate question is: where are the members and what are they up to? Well, we happened to know the scoop about one member in particular!

The handsome, hilarious and hunky Ong Seong Wu (옹성우) graced us with his gorgeous presence on Friday 23rd of March when he held a press conference for his “Eternity” fan-meeting. Held at W Hotel, Seong Wu appeared dressed from head to toe in white; further making him look like a heavenly being.

One of the many questions that were asked to the CEO of Hatchery, Tassaporn Sukhapanth, was the simple, “Why choose to bring Seong Wu?” Her response was succinct and honest; the man’s a triple kill. He can sing, dance and act; what’s not to love? Seong Wu wowed her from the get go, and she just knew that he would be global hit from the start.

The pressures of going solo after the enormous success of being in a group is daunting one, but apparently not for Seong Wu. His fan-meet in Bangkok alone garnered 5,000 fans with tickets sold out minutes after the sale. Despite goosebumps and feeling overwhelmed, Seong Wu was extremely grateful for how passionate his fans are. Making time for his fans, Seong Wu also individually high-five every single ticket holder at the event; making the fan-meeting a more exclusive experience.

Many people have been curious about the title given to Seong Wu’s first fan-meeting and expected, there was a reasoning behind it. CEO Sukhapanth explained that the concept that they went with for “ETERNITY” was to signify Seong Wu’s eternal efforts to keep his fans happy. Through his performances, acting and dance stages, he wishes that this will make them stay by him for an eternity. Thus the name was given as a two way road; for the fans to be with him but also as a promise of him being there for the fans.

Ever the cheeky devil, Seong Wu smirked at the question before simply leaving us with, “It’s a surprise.” In Bangkok, fans were treated to a dance number of Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like” as well as performing ballads such as “Please” and “Love This Moment”. With promises of many fun activities and performances prepared for fans to feast their eyes on in the massive halls of Axiata Arena, there was no question that Malaysian fans were in for a wild ride as well.

With the incredible success of Ong Seong Wu’s “ETERNITY” fan meeting comes great news, everyone! CEO Sukhapanth mentioned that they were not expecting such a great response but since Malaysian K-pop fans are so passionate, they might be bringing in more acts next time! Maybe we’ll see more of Wanna One members grace us with their gorgeous visuals again ;)


PSA: 10 Ways You Can Contribute To The All-Out Effort Aid For Flood Victims

Several states in Malaysia have been hit with floods, one of the country’s worst incidents in history. So much so that the term “Malaysian Katrina” has been coined to describe the devastation that has followed. Kelantan, particularly, saw floods that are the worst in 30 years, with a recorded number of over 45,000 victims seeking shelter at evacuation centres.

According to The Star, other affected states were Terengganu with 34,884 evacuees, Pahang (32,380), Perak (6,119), Johor (537), Perlis (209), and Kedah (28). And the numbers continue to rise. As at 9pm on 26th Dec, a total of 120,368 floods victims had been evacuated.

To make matters worse, the worsening floods showed no signs of abating with heavy rain in several places and rescue efforts were hampered in some cases due to fast-rising waters, strong currents, and roads to affected locations that continued to be cut off. Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) Berhad said a total of 300 bridge tracks, 10 train stations, and 19 coaches were submerged in flood waters of up to 10 feet high.

See the pictures below for a better idea of just how bad it is:

And Malaysians aren’t the only ones affected by the floods. According to The Malaysian Insider, around 100 tourists who were stranded in a remote resort in central Malaysia’s Mutiara Taman Negara Resort were rescued and sent to a relief centre. As such, Malaysians from all over the country have been trying to rally together for a heroic rescue and relief effort to help flood victims. Prayers aside, we plead with you too to help your countrymen if you can!

The flood victims will be needing the most basic of daily supplies such as:

Let’s not forget that the primary effects of flooding (other than deaths and damage to homes) includes damage to sewerage systems, loss of power (electricity), obstruction to roads and transport infrastructure, water contamination, and risk of waterborne diseases (typhoid, cholera, etc.).

3. The “Save East Coast” group which was set up during last year’s flood has also been revived.

8. The Malaysian Red Crescent is calling on Malaysians to come forward and lend a helping hand by sending in contributions to help alleviate the suffering of flood victims. Visit their website to find out how you can donate.

11. The National Council of Women’s Organisations is organising a flood relief effort by sending essentials to the floor relief centres. This effort is coordinated with government agencies to ensure all donations reach those in need. Drop off donations at the NCWO office located at 46 jalan 14/29 Petaling Jaya on 26th (before 4:30pm) and on 29th Dec (Monday) by 10:30am.

Nicole Scherzinger & The Pussycat Dolls To Reunite For 2018 Comeback?

Are y’all ready to see Nicole Scherzinger reunite with her backup dancers from The Pussycat Dolls?

Rumour has it that the current “X-Factor” judge and her former bandmates are prepping for a comeback next year. It’s been almost a decade since the group split after reports of their feud made headlines.

“Talk of the girls getting back together has been rife for a few years now and they have finally found a time which works for them all. They are still deciding whether it will involve a full tour or just a handful of performances but they are excited to be getting out there together again,” a source told The Sun UK.

The insider added, “The girls feel the time is right to let bygones be bygones and put any differences they had behind them and celebrate the great songs they made.” Since their debut, Pussycat Dolls have produced hits including “Don’t Cha”, “Stickwitu”, “Buttons”, “When I Grow Up”, and “Jai Ho”.

Although Pussycat Dolls debuted as a 6-member group – including Kimberly Wyatt, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, and Melody Thornton – Carmit Bachar decided to called it quits in 2008. No word yet if Bachar is keen on rejoining the girls, should they make their comeback.

What do you think? Would you like to see the Dolls reunite?

#CDM25: Bung Moktar Says Kiki Proved Him Right About Women Drivers

Malaysian MP Bung Moktar Radin is at it again.

In 2011, he blamed reckless drivers and “especially women drivers” for endangering motorists. During a supplementary supply bill debate in Parliament, he said, “They relax, they think that because they are inside a car the world is theirs. They don’t look left and right and when we honk they get angry. There are times when we honk, they show all sorts of signs.”

He was later criticised in the Parliament by PAS’ Kota Raja MP Dr Siti Mariah Mahmood and Kuala Selangor MP Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad for his comment.

Today, he tweeted that he was vindicated over that controversial remark that he made years ago after the #CDM25 viral video. He tweeted:

I was once condemned when I said most women drivers are hot-headed. It has been proven by Kiki CDM 25.

To think that it was just last week when Bung Moktar caused a stir in both local and international media for hailing deceased Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler following Germany’s 7-1 win in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil #BRAvGER semi-final match. He later apologised for the tweet.

Is this too soon? Uncalled for? Sound off in the comments!

Meanwhile, Kiki aka #CDM25 have since publicly apologised to all Malaysians in an exclusive interview with ntv7 last night.


No Way! Hugh Jackman Almost Got Fired As Wolverine In X-Men

Audiences would’ve had a very different “X-Men” experience had Hugh Jackman been fired from playing Wolverine.

The 50-year-old actor now holds the Guinness World Record for “longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero” for 17 years. But he almost lost the iconic superhero role before the film was released way back in 2000.

During a performance from his one man show – “The Man. The Music. The Show.” – Jackman walked down memory lane and recalled the time when he almost lost his role as Logan in the middle of filming the first X-Men movie.

“5 weeks into shooting and I was on the verge of getting fired,” the Oscar-nominated actor shared. “The head of the studio pulled me aside, sat me down at lunch, and said that they were worried that they weren’t seeing on camera what they’d seen in the audition. It’s like there’s a lampshade over the light.”

A post shared by  Hugh Jackman (@thehughjackman) on May 13, 2019 at 4:58am PDT

Even Bryan Singer thought the same. “And the very next day the director pulled me aside and told me exactly the same thing, even the whole ‘lampshade over the light’ thing, the same speech. So clearly they’d been talking and I was freaking out,” he remembered.

Jackman continued, “I’m thinking, oh, this is the talk you get before you get fired. And this was the biggest break of my career by a mile up to this point. And I went home to Deb, and was complaining to her.”

“So, she listened to me very patiently for about an hour, and finally she put her hand on my shoulder and she said, ‘Babe, I think you’ve gotta just trust yourself, you’re worrying way too much about what everybody else is thinking, just go back to the beginning, focus on the character, trust your instincts, you’ve got this’.”

I believe in life we need to see and truly be seen by the most important people in our lives. Deb, from day one, we had that. 22 years later … it only gets deeper. You and the kids are the greatest gift I will ever receive. I love you a gazillion times around the world.

A post shared by  Hugh Jackman (@thehughjackman) on Apr 11, 2018 at 4:37am PDT

Thankfully, the pep talk from wife Deborra-Lee Furness worked and he calmed down. We simply can’t imagine anyone else achieving Jackman’s unmatched cinematic superhero legacy.

Now that Jackman has hung up his claws for good after his swan song movie in “Logan”, Marvel Studios is looking to recast the fearsome Wolverine so that he can be included in the future Marvel Cinematic Universe. For some reason, Scott Eastwood keeps popping up as a potential favourite.

There’s even a fan art dedicated to him:

Would Scott Eastwood be a good Wolverine ? – @scotteastwood as the Wolverine ! – Hi all! I’ve been fan casting Wolverine over the past few weeks, and so I thought I’d finish it off with one of my faves, @scotteastwood! He definitely looks the part, and I think he would be a cool Wolverine to see. Here’s an edit I made of Scott EastWOOD is the WOODS :,) Hope you like it ! – Follow me for more art! @mizuriofficial

Taylor Swift Opens Up About Love Life Rumours

Taylor Swift has finally opened up about the media distortion of her image and love life. In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, she comes out to express how fed up she is with the tabloid media culture that takes her love life, scrutinizes it, and blows it out of proportion. She also addresses some important issues such as the one where people are calling her a serial dater and calling her boy crazy.

The interview also reveals some stuff that has got to do with her super high-profile relationship and then super high-profile breakup with One Direction’s Harry Styles. And by that, we mean what really went down.

Taylor said of the rumours about her being a serial dater and constantly buying houses near the guy she’s dating at the time:

If you want some big revelation, since 2010, I have dated exactly two people. The fact that there are slide shows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with..it’s just kind of ridiculous.

People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like – that’s a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real estate market just to freak you out so you leave me. One of these things I say to myself to calm myself down when I feel like it’s all too much, “If there’s a pregnancy rumor, people will find out it’s not true when you wind up not being pregnant, like nine months from now, and if there’s a house rumor, they’ll find out it’s not true when you are actively not ever spotted at that house”.

About Harry Styles, Taylor might not have openly discussed it during the Vanity Fair interview but she did allow an authorized source to talk about what went down during the relationship. The source said that in the beginning, before their full-fledged romance in 2012, Harry Styles apparently wore Taylor down:

He was all, like, “You’re amazing—I want to be with you. I want to do this.” The relationship fell apart after he texted Swift to alert her of a picture on the Internet of him kissing a friend good-bye. They were making out like with their hands all up in each other’s hair. After she ended the relationship, he pursued her for the better part of a year until she finally took him back. But the whole time she says she feels like he’s looking at every girl. And then when they were in London together he disappears one night and after that it was like he just didn’t want to keep going.

And of Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriends, the source said, “She sated Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer when she was really young and they were in their 30s, and she got really hurt. So it was like, ‘That hurt – this won’t’. But then it did”.

Aww. Poor Taylor. Props to her for finally opening up about the rumours. For what it’s worth, we hope she finds happiness soon – she deserves it!

#ALSIceBucketChallenge: Donations Helped Researchers Discover Gene That Could Cure ALS

Just a couple years ago, the interwebs were filled with the #ALSIceBucketChallege. Whenever you were on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media platform, the only thing that you could see where people doing the challenge itself or nominating others to do so.

Celebrities like Super Junior’s Siwon, Hong Kong Cantopop singer Andy Lau, and Superman-actor Henry Cavill contributed their part, with Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg jumping on the bandwagon too! On the local front, even our Minister for Youth and Sports Khairy Jamaluddin and Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng did their part to raise awareness for the disorder.

Well, it seems like their efforts (and everyone else who contributed to the cause) wasn’t wasted, as The University of Massachusetts Medical School has made a new breakthrough regarding the disease. With the help of ALS Associated, who donated US$ 100 million to the MinE project, the school has identified a tantamount gene that is responsible for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

That gene, named the NEK1, could lead to a greater understanding of the disease and might even propel scientists to find a cure for the fatally neurological disease.

“The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge enabled us to secure funding from new sources in new parts of the world. This transatlantic collaboration supports our global gene hunt to identify the genetic drivers of ALS,” said Bernard Muller, an ALS patient who is also the founder of Project MinE.

More than 17 million people participated in the #ALSIceBucketChallenge in 2014, which roughly raised over US$ 200 million for the research of the debilitating disease. The illness currently affects approximately 2 out of 100,000 people per year, and causes them to lose the functions of their muscles. The challenge was started by Pete Frates, an ALS patient since 2011, who nominated his friends to try it out in a bid to simulate the pain and effects of the disease.

In case y’all wanna know the full story of how the trend started, click here. Or if you just wanna refresh your minds of the 2014 trend, we’ve compiled the top 10 celebrities #ALSIceBucketChallenge here :)

#Singapore: Woman Arrested After Hitting Shop Employees At Tiong Bahru Plaza

An aggressive female shopper was arrested after a video of her hitting 2 shop employees went viral.

According to Channel NewsAsia, the incident took place at an Owndays outlet in Tiong Bahru Plaza on Monday night (3rd April). Police said that they were alerted about the assault just before 10pm and that investigations are ongoing.

The viral video, which was uploaded by Facebook user Gerald Teo, shows her yelling and hitting the shop employees. The 45-year-old woman then claims that she lost her bracelet and demanded that the 2 sales girls retrieve it from a backroom. When one of the girls says she will call the police, she yells, “Go on, call the police! You think I’m scared?”

Moreover, several passerby and security guards are seen trying to stop her. She can even be heard making racist comments such as, “Ask this f–king Chinese to stop hitting me in the neighbourhood here.”

Also, if you look closely at the 0:24 mark, her bracelet flies off her wrist when she backhand slaps the girl with a ponytail. Watch:

As at time of writing, the video has been viewed over 5.4 million times.

The woman’s actions have angered many netizens and some even called her racist and mentally ill. One Facebook user commented, “This is totally unacceptable for this kind of behaviour. Where are the security? This is a totally crazy mental retarded person.”

In a Facebook statement, Owndays Singapore said:

“2 of our team members attempted to assist the shopper and were assaulted by the aggressive lady. Our colleagues had been brave and maintained their professionalism despite repeated assaults by the angry lady. The police is currently investigating the matter and we are seeking legal advice.”

What do you think of the incident? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

#KimJongNam: Alleged Facebook Of Vietnamese “LOL” Suspect Surfaces

The alleged Facebook of the Vietnamese suspect in Kim Jong Nam’s murder case has surfaced.

The suspect, named Doan Thi Huong, reportedly has 3 Facebook accounts, and all of them have been found. They are all still active accounts, with one named as “Ring Ring”, the other as “Ruby Ruby”, and the last one as “Bella Tron Tron Bella”.

The activity wall of “Ring Ring” is void of any public activity. When we visited the profile, all we could see was a profile photo updated on 1st February. Even then, the photo showed only the shoulder and chest of a woman.

Meanwhile, “Ruby Ruby”‘s profile gave us more insights on the suspect. A quick scan of the account showed Doan to be an active user, with almost weekly updates. Her last activity was on 11th February from Kampung Besut, when she updated a photo of herself with the caption, “I want to sleep more but by your side.”

Further checks showed similar posts, as Doan frequently posted selfies along with short messages.

In a post dated 9th February, she was also seen wearing what appeared to be the infamous “LOL” shirt under some overalls. It was posted along with several photos of food and the caption, “Life is food/ I can eat very much ^^ And I can eat uㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ My boy.”

Note: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ is used to indicate laughter in Korean.

She was also an avid traveller, having travelled to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and back to Hanoi, Vietnam, just recently. She was believed to have set foot in Malaysia in February.

While going through her friends list, it was revealed that 27 out of her 65 friends have Korean names. Her amount of friends have since dropped to 54, but majority of them are still males.

The 3rd account, which goes by the name of “Bella Tron Tron Bella” (Chubby Bella), contained a link to a singing talent show “Vietnam Idol”. The contestant, which had the number 67816, bears a striking similarity to Doan.

Another video, which was found on YouTube, showed a woman who looks similar to the suspect broadcasting a live video on the popular live streaming app BIGO LIVE.

South Korean intelligence officials have also suspected Doan to be a “lizard’s tail”, which is a “hired asset that can be cast off after an operation with little to no consequence” to the real perpetrators.

Malaysian police have also revealed whatever information they could about the suspect. She was said to have worked in an entertainment outlet, but the name of the company and Doan’s immigration status wasn’t made public. According to Reuters, facial recognition tools also matched Doan’s face to photos.

The suspect’s brother, Joseph Doan, told Reuters that his sister was born in the Nam Dinh province, southeast of Hanoi, Vietnam, in 1988. This information was in line with the details provided by Malaysian police. He explained that the suspect looks like her sister from photos, but he can’t be 100% sure as he hadn’t met her yet.

He also stated that his sister left home when she was 18 and returned home whenever it pleased her. Family members were unsure of her whereabouts and thought that she was working in Hanoi.

Doan was detained by Malaysian police to aid in the investigations after she was spotted on CCTV footage from the airport, where the assassination happened. She was arrested at KLIA2 as she was attempting to catch a flight back to Vietnam.

Netflix’s “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” Review – A Must Watch For Video Game & Anime Fans

Back in 2019, fans of CD Projekt Red’s critically acclaimed “Witcher” games were greeted with an early Christmas present. A high-budget, well-acted and monster-filled Netflix adaptation of the beloved video game franchise. It was heralded as one of the best video-game adaptations of all time. Netflix is looking for lightning to strike twice but this time with an original anime film set in the same universe as Henry Cavill’s grizzled Geralt of Rivia. Only this time, we’re not following the exploits of Geralt. Oh no, this tale is about his master and mentor, Vesemir. This is Netflix’s “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf”.

Long before he was the kindly, wise old man who guided Geralt on the Path, he was a rogue. A sharp-witted, cunning monster-hunter with a penchant for the finer things in life. A departure from his apprentice’s signature stoic demeanour. In “Nightmare of the Wolf”, we follow the young Witcher as he’s called upon a quest to investigate a rather strange case. Elven children have gone missing and monsters of greater sentience seem to be popping up. This leads Vesemir and Tetra, a Witcher-hating mage, to discover one of the darkest conspiracies in the Witcher universe. Seriously, this gives the “Ladies of the Wood” quest in “Witcher 3” a run for its money.

It all culminates in an epic confrontation that brings about the fall of Witchers near and far. This is the moment they went from respected warriors to tolerated mercenaries to reviled outlaws. This is the Fall of Kaer Morhen. As massive fans of the Witcher games, “Nightmare of the Wolf” delivers on so many fronts. We’ve always heard stories of how there was a bloody siege of the castle that resulted in the death of Witchers but we were never shown. We had to use our imagination to fill in the gaps – until now. The conspiracy, betrayal and individual stories leading up to the event is every bit as satisfying as the battle itself.

If you’re new to the world of “The Witcher”, don’t worry about it. The plot of “Nightmare of the Wolf” is fairly accessible for anyone looking to give it a watch. That being said, some of the socio-political nuances and cool cameos in the film will be lost on you. For better context, we recommend playing the games or binge watching the first season of the live-action series before “Nightmare of the Wolf”. Trust us, it’s worth the investment.

However, there is a corny romance between Vesemir and his childhood friend, Illyana that we weren’t too keen on. Eventually, it ties to the main plot of the story and we understand that it provides an emotional anchor to ground the character’s growth. It’s just that the world of the Witcher is one of full of narrative subversions, unexpected horrors and grey morals. So to see this element in the plot, feels a little jarring to us. Overall, the plot of “Nightmare of the Wolf” delivers a thrilling dark fantasy kick that we haven’t felt since the end of “Game of Thrones”.

Much like the HBO series, “Nightmare of the Wolf” is most definitely not for kids. Seriously, the amount of violence on display can only be described as an utter bloodbath. All brought to glorious life thanks to the people at Studio Mir. This comes as no surprise seeing that Mir’s previous work includes such fine animated shows like “Legend of Korra” and “Young Justice”. The inspiration of the latter can clearly be seen in the character models and expressions. There is a very distinct art-style to the studio that blends Japanese anime aesthetics with classic 2D animation techniques.

This translates very well in the way action is shown on screen. Much like “Legend of Korra”, Studio Mir doesn’t cut corners when it comes to crafting phenomenal battle sequences. Below the flashy surface, there’s thought and intricacy placed into every clash. The world of “The Witcher” has these warriors carefully considering every move before taking it. Whether it be in the form of a well-timed strike with a poisoned blade or a coordinated spell to repel enemis. The most impressive of these sequences can be found in Vesemir’s final battle. One that blends brutal swordplay and spectacular sorcery in a lightning fast chessmatch of a melee that left us in awe.

While there’s plenty of visual spectacle to keep us engaged throughout its near hour and a half runtime, we can’t help but find some of the characters underdeveloped. Vesemir clearly gets the most screentime with plenty of flashbacks and dialogue. Voice actor Theo James does an admirable job playing a young Vesemir. He infuses the character with enough charm, levity and moral indignation to win fans over.

Unfortunately, this does come at the expense of the secondary characters of the plot. For example, characters like Tetra and Vesemir’s master Deglan are some of the key players driving the Fall of Kaer Morhen. Yet, we get barely enough information on what drives them beyond passing comments about past trauma. Which is such a shame seeing that Lara Pulver and Graham McTavish do such excellent jobs as the hateful zealot mage and cynical Witcher. We can’t help but feel that the plot would have benefitted from more screentime with them. All minor gripes in the face of what “Nightmare of the Wolf” gets right.

If you’re a fan of anime, “The Witcher” games and the Netflix series based on them, then “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” is an absolute must-watch. This is exactly what a proper spin-off or prequel should be. It provides fans of the past with richer context while drawing newcomers into its complex setting. Netflix has done it again!

If “Nightmare of the Wolf” is any indication of quality, we can’t wait to see what the second season of “The Witcher” has in store for us!

So what did you think of Netflix’s “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf”? Do you think they did the character of Vesermir justice? Are you excited for the upcoming season of “The Witcher”? Be sure to let us know in a comment!

If you're a fan of anime, "The Witcher" games and the Netflix series based on them, then "The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf" is an absolute must-watch. This is exactly what a proper spin-off or prequel should do. It provides fans of the past with richer context while drawing newcomers into its complex setting. Netflix has done it again!

How convenient right? The fact that the new indoor skydiving facility will be located in the Klang Valley means you don’t even have to travel very far to experience this flying sport. Since gaining popularity in other parts of the world, this attraction has been used for team-building, in addition to competitions and party games.

According to The Rakyat Post, Indoor Skydive Australia (ISA) Group is collaborating with Bandar Utama City Sdn Bhd for the project, which will cost between AUD1.5 to AUD2 million (RM5.1 to RM6.8 million).

“The indoor skydiving facility is being developed as part of the extension of the 1 Utama Shopping Centre which includes access to the Bandar Utama MRT station, linking 1 Utama to the Greater Kuala Lumpur region,” reads the statement by ISA.

Details regarding the indoor skydiving facility is still being kept under wraps, but visitors can expect it to open in December 2017.

Contest: Win Movie Tickets To Watch Horror Slasher “Scream VI”

Keep your eyes open and your blades clean, things are about to get really bloody in “Scream VI”. The slasher sequel will pick where the 5th instalment – “Scream (2022)” left off. To quote Ghostface in the trailer, “there’s never been one like me”. The antagonist is now more terrifying and confident with their exploits than previous killers.

Ghostface isn’t the only big change in “Scream VI”. The “Scream” franchise is ditching Woodsboro for the streets of New York City. The surviving Carpenter sisters – Sam and Tara – as well as twins Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin can’t seem to escape their twisted past when they’re once again dragged into another meta-slasher-whodunnit scenario.

“We wanted to make this really different, while still having all the stuff you love,” director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin said. “Having a bolder, more brazen Ghostface was a big part of that.” Co-director Tyler Gillett echoed his sentiments, saying, “It’s relentless and really visceral. There’s a lot more of Matt and I in this movie. I think that we had to make ‘Scream 5’ in order to feel like we had permission to do this one. It has all of the ingredients, all of the things that we love about the franchise but it has an attitude that’s a little bit different.”

“With the last ‘Scream’, they were tip-toeing and trying to be very respectful of what the franchise had been up until that point and keeping their inner gory dreams at bay. But with this one, they were like, ‘We’re going all out.’ It’s potentially a hundred times gorier,” actress Melissa Barrera was quoted as saying.

We have 20 pairs of movie tickets to give away. Details of the screening are as per below:


#BatmanvSuperman: Purported Photos Of Batman Surfaced Online

2 photos allegedly showing Batman without Superman‘s logo covering his face has surfaced online.

In the official posters of “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice“, fans couldn’t get a good look of the superheroes as the opponents’ logo were obscuring their faces. However, the photos which were uploaded on a website called JPosters showed the unedited version of the posters.

The original uploader claimed that the release is an exclusive, and added that the 1st photo will be featured in the IMAX poster.

It is unconfirmed whether the photos are from an official source, but fans can enjoy the unaltered posters in the gallery below:

The events in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” will take place after the ending of “Man of Steel“, with the public being divided into 2 factions: the supporters of Superman, and the naysayers of the Kryptonite-fearing superhero. Batman appears to be in the latter category, as he sees Superman as a threat to society and takes it upon himself to eliminate him.

The movie will star Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman. It is slated for release on 25th March 2016.

Justin Bieber To Release “Believe” Film

Pop sensation Justin Bieber has always seemed like he has it all – never having to worry about where his next meal comes from, never having to worry about traveling thousands of miles across countries and seas, never having to worry about cash. But there was a time that he didn’t even have enough cash to go see his favourite singer in concert.

Which is why Justin has a plan to make sure that every one of his fans can go see him.

Pictures emerged recently of a disclaimer at a Bieber concert that made it seem like he was prepping a follow up to his smash 2011 3D concert film, “Never Say Never”. It broke the record for a concert movie by taking in nearly USD100 million worldwide. And Jon Chu (who directed “Never Say Never”) is said to be working on editing the “Believe” film.

According to his manager, Scooter Braun:

What we want to do is..the concerts sell out so quickly, which has really been a blessing. But Justin and I were talking about how there’s so many kids out there who are in a position like he was growing up who don’t have a lot of money, who aren’t able to go to concerts. He wants to put each one of his tours for the rest of his career in theaters for at least one weekend so that kid can to the theater, pay their $10 and have that experience.

There has been no word yet about when the “Believe” film will hit theaters. But we’re keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more updates.


(UPDATED) Location Data Retrieved From Muslim Dating & Prayer Apps Are Being Sold To US Military

Most of you might already know that certain free apps tend to sell user data to third-parties or advertisers, to generate income.

However, some of the innocuous-looking apps in your phone could be selling your data to the United States military.

The US military is apparently buying location data about everyone around the world, particularly Muslims, retrieved by Islamic mobile apps. Two of the apps reported to be connected to the wide-ranging supply chain of data sale includes “Muslim Pro” and “Muslim Mingle”, which has over 98 million and over 100,000 downloads, respectively.

It is reported that the US military uses a data stream through a company called “X-Mode”, which obtains granular movement data from apps, before selling it to contractors and the military. It doesn’t help the fact that the apps mentioned earlier are mostly used by Muslims, since the US military is infamously known for using location data to target drone strikes.

Even though certain apps obtain consent from app users through their privacy policies, the same can’t be said about “Muslim Pro”. There is no mention of “X-Mode” in the app’s privacy policy, or did it prompt any window explaining the transfer of location data to its users.

As the news came to light, netizens are freaked out and outraged with the fact that their sensitive data is being sold without their consent, not to mention that the data is retrieved by an app which provide Muslims with prayer essentials.

Muslim Pro, the Muslim prayer app with over 98 million downloads is one of the apps connected to a wide-ranging supply chain that sends ordinary people's personal data to brokers, contractors, and the military.

I hate that I'm shocked but damn https://t.co/WNAcmcZEUQ

This has me and the rest of the digital muslim world in shambles. Just gonna start searching up prayer times on safari. https://t.co/9ooQyP2bMq

— Abdifatah Fiqo (@AbdifatahFiqo) November 17, 2020

muslim pro made by a french non muslim apparently LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAWG WE GOT PLAYED LIKE A MF 😭😭

We would like to advise everyone to be wary when downloading any kind of apps in your phone and agreeing to its terms and conditions.

“Muslim Pro” developer Bitsmedia has denied allegations that they are selling sensitive user data to the U.S military. The Singapore-based developer told a news portal that they will immediately terminate the relationship with their current data partners, without specifying the name.

“Muslim Pro” is currently working with their stakeholders and the authorities to transparently establish the facts surrounding these allegations that are shedding an undeserved negative light on their reputation. The team behind the app also asserted that they have never provided any third party with non-anonymous data and that “X-Mode” has confirmed with them on 17th November (Tuesday) that they have ceased to work with the reported US military contractors, long before the app and the company were partners.

Starbucks Malaysia Launch 2nd Signing Store In Penang & Here’s Why It’s Special

3 years ago, Starbucks debuted Malaysia’s first Signing Store in Bangsar Village II, as a way to celebrate deaf partners.

Yesterday (Tuesday, 19th November), the American coffee chain launched Penang’s first Signing Store in Burmah Road, Penang. Malaysia is now the only country to have 2 Signing Stores and the Burmah Road outlet is only the 4th Signing Store in the world.

The objective of this launch is to offer employment and development opportunities to the deaf community in Penang. The outlet will be manned by 7 Deaf and Hard of Hearing employees (referred to as partners) who are fluent in sign language.

In addition to the store sign spelled in sign language, the deaf baristas’ black or green apron also sports a special embroidery of ‘Starbucks’ in Malaysian sign language. In case you’re wondering, the Washington D.C. (US) and Guangzhou (China) are the only 2 other countries to have a Starbucks Signing Store.

Don’t worry if you’re not equipped with sign language as customers can put their orders down in writing. The number assigned will appear on the screen next to the pick-up counter once your order is ready.

Similar to other Starbucks partners, those working in the Signing Store can also undergo the Coffee Master Program to widen their knowledge on coffee and barista craft. Upon succeeding the program, the Deaf and Hard hearing baristas will receive their black aprons.

Did you know that Starbucks Malaysia recently opened its 300th outlet at Bukit Bintang Junction? There’s no denying it, Malaysians simply can’t live without coffee ;)


DMTN To Carry On Without Daniel

So, it’s pretty impossible for you to have missed the news about K-Pop idol boy group DMTN’s Daniel being involved with the “distribution” of marijuana. Distribution meaning, selling. Although he has denied smoking the drug, and although results from drug tests on his hair and urine have come back negative, he’s still being investigated for other charges.

Now, however, all attention has been focused on DMTN’s agency, 2Works.

DMTN recently “rebranded” themselves and were initially planning on releasing a new album in May 2013. As a matter of fact, they just had their comeback earlier this year, after what seemed like ages. But just as they were going to go full-on with their promotional activities, “maknae” Daniel gets swept up in controversy. And we know how heavily cases like these would weigh upon not only the individual but also the group in which he performs with.

2Works has since  commented, “We have not yet received the final ruling on Daniel’s involvement. However, Daniel wants to pay the consequences and carry out the punishment dealt to him for his wrongdoing. For the time being, we are currently looking for individual activities the members can carry out without Daniel. For the members who are currently already carrying out activities, they will be continuing with them”.

With regards to Daniel, 2Works said that he’s feeling very sorry to the company, the members, and those around him. Sigh.

Note: Yes, we’re aware that DMTN is slated to perform on 6th April 2013 (Saturday) in Singapore. There has been no word about it being cancelled or if Daniel will attend the showcase or not. Fingers crossed, peeps!


Cassie Has Electro Love For Y’all

Whoa now. It’s been so long since we last heard from the gorgeous R&B artiste, Cassie Ventura. You (we, everyone else) may know her as simply “Cassie”. Or remember her from this sexy song:

[youtube id=”fXZ1igE0ejI” width=”600″ height=”350″]

“It’s me and you, now, I’ve been waiting. Think I wanna make that move, now. Baby, tell me if you like it.”

Can you believe that was in 2005? Ever since then, Cassie has been kept busy juggling her careers as an American recording artiste, model, dancer, and actress. Which explains why we haven’t heard from her or seen those sexy dance moves on TV for so long!

But she’s back, with a lot of love. “Electro Love”, that is.

After announcing that her new album title, Cassie explained, “It’s basically the sound of the album. It’s not supposed to be taken so literal. Electro could be like house and techno, but that’s not what it is. It’s definitely a dance album.”

“I wanted it to be a reflection of that and the vibe of the music. It has that love song feel to it but accompanied by that specific beat. ‘Electro Love’ is going to demonstrate more independence, a difference in vocals, and a little bit more personality. Definitely a sensual album!”

We also hear that “Electro Love” will feature other talents such as Diddy, The Neptunes, Akon, Lil Wayne, Mario Winans, the list goes on. As a matter of fact, her first single off the upcoming album has already hit the airwaves on the 14th of February 2012. Here’s “King of Hearts”:

[youtube id=”LI0Q0my8a64″ width=”600″ height=”350″]

“Electro Love” will be released in  and we can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.

Surprisingly, Netizens Are Loving Safiey Illias New Song “Syinta Gila”

From Dato Seri Vida’s “I Am Me” to Dato Aliff Syukri’s “Bobo Di Mana”, apparently a lot of controversial beauty entrepreneurs are coming out with their own songs. The latest one to join the fray is fellow cosmetics millionaire Safiey Illias, a proud transgender known for her Aurora products.

From months ago, when “Bobo Di Mana” was a hot and trending topic, Safiey Illias has already hinted that she too will be coming up with her own tune. The song has finally been officially released on various music platforms including iTunes, JOOX, Spotify, Shazam and YouTube.

A post shared by Malay.Music (@malay.music)

What surprises many netizens was that the song was unexpectedly good and catchy, and many have claimed that the melody has been stuck in their head and they have been playing the song on repeat.

Many people compared “Syinta Gila” to the controversial “Bobo Di Mana”, saying that former is most definitely a lot better than the latter in terms of music, lyrics and message.

this song is so addictive. catchy music. #syintagila regardless whoever the singer is, the song itself is amazing. https://t.co/R7w1f2p4QJ

I cant deny that Syinta Gila song is kinda good & catchy and that song keep on repeating on my kepala since morning. pic.twitter.com/pl4DYcSW1a

— Fildza Daniel (@thefildzadaniel) October 16, 2018

Several anti-LGBT people find themselves in a conflicting situation where they wanted to hate the song but couldn’t do so as the earworm tune has been on repeat on their playlist as well.

Composed by Indonesian singer Ressa Herlambang who is known for the song “Menyesal”, Safiey Illias previously admitted that the song is not about herself but is dedicated to all the women out there and is aimed to give a sense of empowerment and confidence to many women.

“Syinta Gila” debuted at #2 on Malaysian iTunes Top 100 chart, beating Malaysia’s song queen Siti Nurhaliza’s “Anta Permata” and pop king Faizal Tahir’s “Ragaman”, and is behind popular K-pop band BTS’ “Fake Love”.

IU Celebrates 4th Mini Album Anniversary With Portrait Of Sulli’s Drawing

We can’t believe it’s been 4 years since IU (아이유) released her 4th mini album “Chat-Shire”!

The famous singer-actress recently took to her Instagram to commemorate the 4th anniversary of the album. She also dedicated the post to her long-time friend, none other than the late Sulli (설리).

A post shared by  이지금 (@dlwlrma) on Oct 22, 2019 at 12:18pm PDT

“Happy 4th anniversary, my precious Chat-Shire,” IU wrote in the caption. In the post, she was pictured kissing a portrait of an art piece that was drawn by the former K-Pop idol.

Back in 2015, IU revealed that one of the track lists from the album titled “Red Queen” was inspired from a drawing that her fellow “Inkigayo” host showed her. In addition, “Chat-Shire” was also her very 1st album that she had fully produced on her own since her debut. The album contained the hit single “Twenty-three”.

The album was released back in 23rd October 2015. Happy 4th birthday “Chat-Shire”! ?

In case you didn’t know, IU will be touring Kuala Lumpur in December. Concert details here.


GSC Premieres D-Box Motion Seats In Malaysia!

Malaysia’s leading cinema exhibitor, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) launched the first D-Box motion seats in Malaysia at GSC 1 Utama (Hall 3) today!

As per its official tagline, “Your Movie in Motion”, the D-Box feature offers movie fans perfectly synchronised motions with the movie scenes. Imagine the scene of a fast seed car chase ala “Fast & Furious”. Done? Good. Now imagine a seat whereby you can feel vibrations and movements in sync as the car swerves to the right or to the left. Yes, that’s basically what D-Box does!

Talk about taking a cinematic experience to another level and moving you beyond words.

The D-Box seats provides movements and vibrations, shifts you up and down, right or left, or even front and back. These special seats will be activated with each paid D-Box movie ticket and customers can control the intensity of the movements from high, medium, low, to off.

D-Box seats are also weight triggered and therefore, each activated seat will only move once you sit on the seat. Once you get out of the seat, it stops all movement. As simple as that!

Well, for now, the D-Box seats are only available in GSC 1 Utama’s Hall 3 – the same hall that has the Dolby Atmos feature. Hence. tickets for the movies in D-Box and Dolby Atmos format are priced at RM32 each. An additional RM5 surcharge will be applicable if the movie is in 3D format. We say it’s pretty worth the experience at least once! And if you love it, go the second, third, or even fourth time.

Here’s basically all that awesome cinematic technology that you’re paying for:

The upcoming 2014 D-Box movie titles are such as:

While it’s currently only available at their 1 Utama cinema, GSC has big plans to extend this unique feature to other GSC flagship cinemas soon. So, by year end, we could be looking at more D-Box seats in GSC Mid Valley and GSC Pavilion KL as well!

You game to catch a D-Box feature enabled flick? Hit up GSC’s website to purchase tickets!

#SuicideSquad: Leaked Videos Show The New Batmobile Chasing The “Jokermobile”

Barely a month after the first set of leaks surfaced from the filming location of the upcoming “Suicide Squad” movie, another slew of unofficial “sneak peeks” have managed to wriggle their way onto the interwebs.

The first set confirmed that the film will at least focus a little on the abusive relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn. But it is believed that the leaked scene will be a flashback, taking place some time before Harley Quinn became the twisted lover of the Joker and a member of Suicide Squad.

That's gotta be a flashback to when Harley was Harleen, right? #SuicideSquad pic.twitter.com/Z5TJluHMuS

— Josh Wilding (@Josh_Wilding) May 18, 2015

Now, the second set of leaks have more or less affirmed that Batman will make a special appearance too. Previously, it was only rumoured that Ben Affleck’s Batman will be featured in “Suicide Squad” as he was spotted on the Toronto set. Alas, with these leaks, we at least know that the Dark Knight will face off with the Joker as some point on the streets in the film!

A post shared by Ernie Vicente (@ernievicente)

A post shared by Terence Yip (@terenceyip)

As you can see, some fans were luckily enough to have stumbled upon the new Batmobile in action as it chased what appears to be the Joker’s purple ride. Man, can’t say that we didn’t wish real hard that we were there to see it with our own eyes too!

The upcoming movie will also star Will Smith as Deadshot, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flagg, Adam Beach as Slipknot, and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.

“Suicide Squad” is slated to be released on 5th August 2016 ;)

Meanwhile, check out some things you probably didn’t know about the twisted DC Comics star couple, the Joker and Harley Quinn.


Diplo Announces Collaboration With Led Zeppelin Frontman Robert Plant

As most of you know by now, Diplo likes to cross-pollinate, as seen by his boundless array of collaborations: Madonna, Ariana Grande, MØ, and CL have all recorded with the superstar producer. On the other end of the musical spectrum is legendary English rock band Led Zeppelin.

Undeniably one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Led Zeppelin’s mark on modern music is unmistakable. Unfortunately, the band band split and each surviving member have each moved on with solo projects over the last 40 years, which leads to this upcoming collaboration between Diplo and Robert Plant, best known as Led Zeppelin’s frontman.

A photo posted by diplo (@diplo) on Mar 28, 2015 at 4:58pm PDT

Following Skrillex‘s work with Robby Krieger and the late Ray Manzarek of The Doors on “Break’n A Sweat“, it’s safe to say that Diplo is now bridging a huge generation gap by linking one of the most influential rockstars and unmistakable voices of all time to dance music.

As of now, a simple Instagram posting is the only evidence to show of the collaboration, but with two titans of this stature in the studio together, one can expect Diplo and Robert Plant’s collaboration to be a brilliant one.
