aka Law Chung Him
He's a Hong Kong actor who recently appeared in TVB's Dressage to Win and Your Class or Mine. I think he's quite cute, especially since you don't see a lot of good looking younger actors who can act decently on TVB. I don't know if he's actually signed to TVB currently.

The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco recently went under the knife for sinus surgery, and took to her Instagram on Monday to blast rumors that she actually got a nose job instead.

"For those haters out there who are gonna hate hate hate no matter what, let me inform you that I have not been able to breathe through my nose like a normal human being in years," the 29-year-old actress wrote.

Kaley has indeed been open about plastic surgery in the past, specifically about getting breast implants when she turned 18.

"[It's the] best decision I ever made," she told Cosmopolitan magazine in April.

"I love them," she added to ET at the Los Angeles premiere of Authors Anonymous later that month. "I'm super happy. I would do it again in a heartbeat."

As for her current sinus surgery, Kaley's recovering nicely thanks to her supportive husband Ryan Sweeting.

"Coming out of sinus surgery and the first thing I see is my beautiful angel of a man, he's right there. Always," she gushed Friday on Instagram. "He's taking amazing care of me. ☺️I love my noodle. He's perfection. "

Nicki Minaj Opens Up About Having an Abortion When She Was in High School
NICKI MINAJ

Nicki Minaj has always been known for being outspoken, but on her new album The Pinkprint, she's opening up in deeply personal new ways.

One such touchy subject is the abortion Minaj got when she was a teenager. "One of my goals was to give people a glimpse into my personal life, because it's something I've kept very private," she tells Rolling Stone about her unexpected pregnancy with her first love's child. "I thought I was going to die. ... I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing I'd ever gone through."

The best TV shows of 2014

The rapper, now 32, says she has been "haunted" by the decision, but that it would be "contradictory if I said I wasn't pro-choice. I wasn't ready. I didn't have anything to offer a child."

The Pinkprint also delves into other delicate subjects from her personal life, like her split from her boyfriend of 11 years, Safaree Samuels. "I struggled with 'Do I express these feelings?' " she says. "And I decided there's no reason for me to hide. I'm a vulnerable woman, and I'm proud of that."

Some commentators have complained about Madonna seemingly using the civil rights movement to sell her album.

"No, Madonna, just no," replied one commentator, while another said: "Use a civil rights figure to sell your album? Classy!"

The 56-year-old singer, who used similar images featuring John Lennon and Christ the Redeemer, denied that she was comparing herself with the iconic figures.

She posted on her Facebook page: "I'm sorry. I'm not comparing myself to anyone. I'm admiring and acknowledging their Rebel Hearts."

"This is neither a crime or an insult or racist!" she added.

Songs from Madonna's upcoming album were recently leaked online.

Rebel Heart is available to pre-order from iTunes before its release on March 10.

Rita Ora: 'Music industry is harder for women in all aspects'
Rita Ora has argued that the music industry is a harder place for women.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' singer said that female artists face different battles to men, and have a tougher time "proving" themselves.

Radio One Teen Awards, Rita Ora,

The new Voice UK coach told The Mirror: "Without pulling the whole female card, I think it has always been harder for females in all aspects.
"Whenever we have an opinion, it always seems to be taken out of proportion. As a woman in this industry, it has always been a bit about proving yourself, so I'm proud to be on [the Voice] panel with such successful men."

Ricky Wilson, Sir Tom Jones, Rita Ora and will.i.am on The Voice

Ora also said that people have grown "scared" of using the term 'feminist'. 
"I think people take the word 'feminist' really seriously," she explained. "In this industry, all the heads of labels are men. I have always been very vocal about the women sticking together."
Rita Ora will join Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am and Ricky Wilson on The Voice UK when it returns to BBC One on Saturday, January 10. Watch a trailer below:image

I became aware of One Direction after seeing friends&family repeatedly mentioning them on Twitter and FB. It also doesn't help that I have an eleven years old sister who is completely obsess with them.

Seeing that they're likely becoming the next big thing after Justin Bieber I was just wondering if there's any Soompiers who have heard of One Direction or is a die heart fan themselves?

Prince Andrew categorically denies sex abuse claims

Prince Andrew has categorically denied any impropriety with underage minors.

The royal was named in US court papers filed in a Florida court by a woman who claims investment banker Jeffery Epstein loaned her out as a sex slave.

Prince Andrew

The papers claim that the Duke of York sexually abused her as a 17-year-old girl. The woman is now aged 30.

It is also claimed that the royal took part in sex parties with underage girls and made efforts on behalf of Epstein to gain him a favourable plea arrangement.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "This relates to long-running and ongoing civil proceedings in the US to which the Duke of York is not a party.

"As such we would not comment on the detail. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue."

As he is not a party to the civil court action, Prince Andrew has not been able to counter the allegations against him in court.

Anthony filed papers at LA County Superior Court on April 9 citing "irreconcilable differences", TMZ reports.

The salsa performer, who did not disclose the exact date of his split with the American Idol judge, is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the pair's 4-year-old twins Emme and Max.

He has also requested that the judge dismiss any potential claim for spousal support from Lopez.

Lopez and Anthony worked together after their separation on Fox reality series Q'Viva! The Chosen, and will even perform with one another on stage for the show's live concert on May 26.

The 'Dance Again' singer was previously married to Ojani Noa for 11 months between 1997 and 1998, before tying the knot with backing dancer Cris Judd in September 2001. Their relationship ended in June 2002 and the pair were officially divorced the following January.

Lopez is currently dating another backing dancer, Casper Smart. The relationship was first reported in November when the couple were sighted at several LA hotspots.

Stuart Scott, ESPN reporter and anchor, has died aged 49.

Scott died earlier today (Sunday, January 4), after a lengthy battle with cancer, reports USA Today.

Stuart Scott

Scott, who joined the sporting network in 1993, was remembered in a statement released by ESPN president John Skipper.

Skipper said: "ESPN and everyone in the sports world have lost a true friend and a uniquely inspirational figure in Stuart Scott.

"Who engages in mixed martial arts training in the midst of chemotherapy treatments? Who leaves a hospital procedure to return to the set?

"His energetic and unwavering devotion to his family and to his work while fighting the battle of his life left us in awe, and he leaves a void that can never be replaced."

Scott was known for his rapid delivery and unique phrases when describing highlights on SportsCenter.

Throughout his life he fought several recurrences of cancer, which first appeared in 2007. In 2011 Scott announced on Twitter that he was undergoing chemotherapy.

The illness returned in December 2012, and in 2013 he revealed his daily routine, which involved only missing his ESPN work for chemotherapy treatments every other Monday, followed by training at a mixed martial arts gym.

He is survived by his two daughters, 19-year-old Taelor and 14-year-old Sydni.

Is Vanness Wu and Arissa Cheo’s marriage on the rocks?

Rumours are rife that former F4 member Vanness Wu and his Singaporean heiress wife Arissa Cheo’s marriage is on the rocks, after the latter left a series of angry messages on Instagram which appeared to be directed at the singer.

In a recent Instagram post, Arissa posted a picture quote which read: “I’m going to give you the same amount of effort as you give me.” The 32-year-old also captioned the photo with an expletive-laden comment – “#FAKEAS***T merry f***ing Christmas”.

When a netizen commented that her swearing “reflects very badly on her husband’s faith”, Arissa responded with two consecutive agitated replies: “What faith? Fake faith. Don’t believe the hype. Wake up. What’s real and what’s not? What’s u see on the Telly is definitely not real. (sic)”

image

According to Taiwanese media, Vanness, who was furious with Arissa’s words, posted a message asking her to “watch her tongue” on his Instagram account. However, the post was quickly deleted and the couple has since unfollowed each other on the social media platform.

Vanness and Arissa tied the knot in the United States last November, following seven years of on-off romance. When contacted by reporters, Vanness’ record company declined to speak on the artiste’s personal affairs.

Aniston also revealed that she has "exchanged good wishes" with Pitt from time to time over the years, adding: "It's not a constant thing... Do you talk to your ex-wife?"
