Xiao Tian Tian threatens ex-boyfriend with suicide
UPDATED-Lee Hom’s daughter arrives early
At the climax of his concert, the singer songwriter announced that he wanted to dedicate the song 'Forever Love' to his wife Lee Jinglei. It was widely known that the song was their love song. He even declared: 'Just like how all of you have always supported me, I will always support and protect Jinglei, because she is the kindest person I've ever met! To love is to cherish and protect.'
His first concert after getting married was met with blessings from fans, who decorated lighted boards that read: 'Congratulations!' and 'Happy marriage!'
Touched by the strong support, he said to his fans: 'It has been a memorable week. Besides having found my lifelong happiness, I've also seen the great support I have from my fans!'
Jinglei was unable to accompany him on his trip due to her studies. The graduate student from Columbia was in media spotlight recently due to rumours that sparked off when Lee Hom announcement of marriage.
Since that announcement 12 days ago, Jinglei has not appeared in public. In response to all the speculations, Lee Hom has defended her firmly.
However, when he arrived in Nanning for rehearsals the day before the concert, he was not wearing his wedding ring, piquing media interest again.
But he did not respond to media queries that ensued, answering only with 'thank you's. His manager explained that as Lee Hom needed to play several instruments and dance during the concert, it was not convenient for him to be wearing his wedding ring.
Dave Legeno, Harry Potter actor and MMA star, dies aged 50
Harry Potter actor Dave Legeno has died at the age of 50.
The British star, who played werewolf Fenrir Greyback in the film franchise, was found by hikers in a remote area of California's Death Valley on Sunday (July 6).
According to TMZ, it is thought that Legeno had been hiking in the national park himself when he came into difficulties.
The area is notorious for its extremely high temperatures during the summer months, and Inyo County Sheriff's Department has indicated in its initial reports that they believe the actor died of heat-related issues. A coroner's investigation is pending.
Legeno, who was a successful mixed martial artist, also starred in Guy Ritchie's Snatch, Batman Begins and EastEnders.
He is survived by his daughter Wendy.

America's Next Top Model: Janice Dickinson apologizes to Tyra Banks
Janice Dickinson has apologized to her former America's Next Top Model co-star Tyra Banks for their ongoing feud.
Dickinson appeared as a judge on Top Model for the first four cycles, before being dropped from the panel in 2005.
She later hit out at the show - claiming that it is "rigged" - and described Banks as "soulless" and "fat", adding that she "used to think she was a man".
Dickinson, who got engaged to her fiancé Dr. Robert Gerner in 2012, has now told Us Weekly that she regrets her comments.
"The one regret I've had is badmouthing Miss Tyra Banks when I was not speaking with a sober mindset," she said. "I just want to take this time to apologize to Tyra, and say I'm terribly sorry for any of the antagonistic things I've said about her in the past. It was just because I was hurt from being fired from the show."
Dickinson added: "I want to go to the marriage with Rocky with a clean slate and not having any regrets or resentments, and I think I've said some pretty nasty things, for which I humbly want to say I'm terribly sorry."
However, the world's first supermodel admitted that she is "delaying" her wedding until gay marriage is legalized across the United States, saying: "It's not fair that I can go off and get married, but certain gay couples are still waiting in their states. It's terribly unfair."

Kesha talks about eating disorder: 'My songs began to feel like lies'
Kesha has spoken about her eating disorder and her stint in rehab.
The 'Tik Tok' singer wrote an essay for Elle magazine explaining how her two-month stay helped her to recover from bulimia.
"The music industry has set unrealistic expectations for what a body is supposed to look like, and I started becoming overly critical of my own body because of that," Kesha writes.
"I felt like people were always lurking, trying to take pictures of me with the intention of putting them up opine or printing them in magazines and making me look terrible."
Kesha admitted that empowering songs such as 'We R Who We R' started to feel like lies.
"I felt like a liar, telling people to love themselves as they are, while I was being hateful to myself and really hurting my body," she continued.
"I wanted to control things that weren't in my power, but I was controlling the wrong things. I convinced myself that being sick, being skinny was part of my job. It felt safer somehow."
She also dismissed rumors that her eating disorder was a cover-up for a drug addiction.
"I've written songs about partying, but my dirty little secret is that I'm actually incredibly responsible.
"I take my music and career very seriously, and certainly didn't land in this situation from partying.
"But I was cut off from the outside world and I imagined people making up stories at a time when what I really needed was support," she added.
Kesha recently said that she was ready to take her life by the horns after checking out of rehab.

Tracy Morgan sues Wal-Mart for crash that killed 1
Tracy Morgan sues Wal-Mart for crash that killed 1
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Former "Saturday Night Live" star Tracy Morgan has sued Wal-Mart over a highway crash involving one of its drivers that left him seriously injured and a fellow comedian dead.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, claims Wal-Mart was negligent when a driver of one of its tractor-trailers rammed into Morgan's limousine van June 7. The complaint claims the retail giant should have known that its driver had been awake for over 24 hours and that his commute of 700 miles from his home in Georgia to work in Delaware was "unreasonable." It also alleges the driver fell asleep at the wheel.
"As a result of Wal-Mart's gross, reckless, willful, wanton, and intentional conduct, it should be appropriately punished with the imposition of punitive damages," according to the complaint.
Morgan's lawsuit seeks a jury trial and punitive and compensatory damages.
In a statement issued Saturday, Wal-Mart reiterated that it was "cooperating fully" in the ongoing investigation.
"We know it will take some time to resolve all of the remaining issues as a result of the accident, but we're committed to doing the right thing for all involved," Wal-Mart said.
The wreck on the New Jersey Turnpike killed 62-year-old comedian James McNair, who went by the name Jimmy Mack. Comedian Ardley Fuqua and Jeffrey Millea, who were injured as passengers in the limo, are also named as plaintiffs.
Morgan, the former "30 Rock" star, suffered a broken leg and broken ribs in the crash and is now in a rehabilitation center. Fuqua is recovering from crash-related injuries.
Truck driver Kevin Roper, 35, of Jonesboro, Georgia, has pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges. A criminal complaint also accuses him of not sleeping for more than 24 hours before the crash, a violation of New Jersey law.
A report by federal transportation safety investigators said Roper was driving 65 mph in the 60 seconds before he slammed into the limo van. The speed limit on that stretch of the turnpike is 55 mph and was lowered to 45 mph that night because of construction.
Roper had been on the job about 13 1/2 hours at the time of the crash, the report concluded. Federal rules permit truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, with a maximum of 11 hours behind the wheel.
Morgan, a New York City native, was returning from a standup performance at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Delaware when the crash occurred.
An email seeking comment from Morgan's publicist was not immediately answered Saturday.

Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe confirms he is gay in Parkinson interview
Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe has revealed that he is gay in an interview on Australian television.
The announcement confirms previous reports that the swimmer had come out in an interview with Sir Michael Parkinson on Channel 10.
The athlete, who is Australia's most decorated swimmer with five Olympic gold medals, told Parkinson: "I've thought about this for a long time. I'm not straight."
Thorpe had previously denied that he was gay, writing in his 2012 autobiography This Is Me that he was heterosexual.
Having been treated for depression earlier this year, Thorpe revealed that he has only felt able to talk honestly about his sexuality in the last fortnight.
"I've wanted to [come out] for some time but I couldn't. I didn't feel as though I could," he said. "What happened was I felt the lie had become so big that I didn't want people to question my integrity."
He added: "Part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay. [Now] I am telling the world that I am."
Fellow Olympic swimmer Stephanie Rice showed her support for Thorpe, tweeting that he "is, and always will be, a superstar".
Thorpe is the winner of nine Olympic medals, 10 Commonwealth Games titles and 13 World titles.

The actress, famous for her role in the Painted Skin movie series, will showcase her singing talent at a charity event for children with special needs in Hangzhou this Wednesday.

Photos of Selina Jen’s burn injuries revealed
S.H.E member Selina Jen broke down on television as she recounted the explosion that changed her life
Tears flowed as Taiwanese girl group S.H.E member Selina Jen revealed details behind the explosion that scarred her forever, and shared photos of her injuries for the very first time.Selina, 32, was caught in an accidental explosion while filming for the musical drama I Have a Date with Springin 2010. She sustained third degree burns on 54 percent of her body, and was hospitalised for almost three months. Although her injuries were serious, Selina has recovered well, and even completed a 10km marathon not long ago.Recently, the singer participated in CCTV’s talk show,Kai Jiang La, where she shared about her haunting experience.On that day, around 100 fans made up a human wall to cheer Selina on, causing her to cry even before filming started, as she felt both moved and nervous.The star couldn’t help breaking down a few times while recounting the incident, but she said, “This is all worth it. [I] hope that my experience of pain and recovery can encourage burn victims who are still struggling; [I want to] tell them that as long as [they’re] alive, there is hope; as long as [they’re] alive, [they] shouldn’t give up.”The program also exposed photos of her worst injuries for the very first time. The singer shed tears as she looked at the pictures, expressing that she felt most sorry towards her father: “I feel that I was very unfilial during that time. [I] vented all my negative emotions on him (her father), blaming him for not stopping me from filming the movie, and for saying the words “[I’m] grateful” repeatedly at my darkest moment.”On hindsight, Selina realised that her father was her biggest support, and regrets treating him poorly: “[He] has always been supporting me by my side; I am very thankful towards him.”In order to lighten the heavy atmosphere, she immediately cracked a joke next: “After I was injured from the explosion and was brought to the car, I got my assistant to take a photo of me. When I saw the photo, [I] felt that I really looked like Rihanna.”

Leo Ku ties the knot with girlfriend of 20 years
Hong Kong singer-actor Leo Ku announced on Weibo yesterday that he has registered his marriage with Lorraine Chan, his girlfriend and personal assistant of 20 years, in Las Vegas, United States on Jul 12.
The 41-year-old posted photos from their wedding shoot and wrote: “Ever since I released my first album in 1994, you have been looking after me. From now on, let me take good care of you.”
According to media reports, Leo and Lorraine first met at the record company in the early 90s. Although the couple did not go public until recent years, their relationship is said to be an open secret in the industry.
During Chinese New Year in February, Leo happily said “okay” when his friends jokingly told him to get married soon so that he could distribute red packets next year, hinting at his impending wedding.
Sources revealed that the singer-actor successfully proposed to Lorraine at the beginning of the year and that he had applied for two-week leave to tie the knot in Las Vegas. As only the couple’s parents flew over to witness the solemnisation ceremony, their friends and colleagues did not know about their marriage until his announcement on Weibo. The newlyweds are planning to hold their wedding banquet next year.
Also, Leo is rumoured to have set up a bakery worth HK$40 million (approximately S$8 million) for his other half. The lovebirds will reportedly make their first public appearance as husband and wife at the shop’s opening ceremony this Saturday.
