Here is Brawn Championship leader Jenson Button holding hands and looking relaxed with girlfriend Jessica Michibata at the Singapore Grand Prix Paddock.

And why not? Button has a 14 point advantage over team mate cum closest competitor Rubens Barichello.

The rise of Jenson Button has surprised many F1 race fans. From an unknown car racer, he has established himself as a serious contender for the World Championships.

Maybe the half Japanese/Argentinean lingerie model Jessica Michibata is his lucky charm. Check out more pics and video of Jessica Michibata below.

Recently crowned Miss Singapore World Ris Low, 19, had earlier been found guilty of credit-card fraud.

The beauty queen was convicted of five charges of misappropriation, cheating using illegally obtained credit cards, and impersonating their users' identities.

The first-time offender was sentenced in May this year to 24 months of supervised probation, said a Subordinate Courts spokesman in response to a query from my paper.

Another 60 charges were taken into consideration for the purposes of sentencing, he said.

Court documents show that Miss Low spent a total of more than $2,400 on at least four separate occasions, using at least three different credit cards in April and May last year.

Gone case. This Ris Low really full of controverises. The other day, she gave an interview which sparked much discussion about the pressing issue of Singlish among Singaporeans. See the video below.



Cannot speak proper English, never mind, so long as she has inner beauty. But being convicted for credit card fraud changes everything and is not acceptable at all.

I think Miss Low should not participate in the Miss World pageant which will be held in South Africa in December. Her previous conduct is a disgrace to Singapore, made me feel feel very ashamed as a Singaporean.

We are known as a clean country with law abiding citizens. Of all the contestants, we have to send a representative who has a record of cheating, very bad for our reputation and integrity.

Beauty pageant organizers must conduct basic checks, like criminal records, porn checks, etc. To surmise, this whole saga very embarrassing.

For Fann Wong's upcoming wedding to Christopher Lee, the bride-to-be personally designed three lavish jewellery sets totalling S$2.5 million.

The three sets of accessories required a staggering 165 carats of diamonds and are sponsored by Celestial by Goldheart Jewelry. It consists of a headpiece, necklaces, bangles, bracelets, and earrings.

The couple revealed that the earrings and bracelets that were made by thin filaments and diamonds represented the sweet memories they share together.

The September 29 bride divulged, "This design represents hope. When I look at this piece of accessory, I will start to slowly reminisce about the little memories I share with him."

Wow, $2.5 million dollars of jewellery. And it is so romantic to hear Fann Wong saying that the diamonds represent the sweet memories they share together. You can see that they are really in love with each other.

Their marriage looks to be the party of the year. Congratulations Fann, for finding your Mr Right!

Malaysia will lay claim to its signature dishes like laksa and chicken rice which are being 'hijacked' by other countries, the tourism minister said according to a report on Thursday.

Those on the list include the fragrant coconut milk rice 'nasi lemak', spicy soup noodle 'laksa' and pork ribs herbal soup 'bak kut teh', Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen said according to The Star newspaper.

'We cannot continue to let other countries hijack our food. Chili crab is Malaysian. Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian. We have to lay claim to our food,' she was quoted as saying.

'In the next three months, we will identify certain key dishes (to declare as Malaysian). We have identified laksa... all types of laksa, nasi lemak and bak kut teh,' she added.

Never one to shy away from controversies, Malaysia is clearly not content to rob Indonesia of its cultural heritage (batik).

They are now accusing other countries of hijacking their food like laksa and chicken rice. Excuse me ah, all these your food meh? That means we must pay royalties lor.

I think it is very ridiculous to squabble over such petty issues, other people will laugh at us if we have to bring it to international court.

Let's not forget that Singapore and Malaysisa are very close neighbors. Hence, it is better to engage in mutually beneficial activities.

There is no guarantee making these dishes Malaysian will make Malaysia a better tourist spot. Except to bully or bring your neighbor misery, I don't see a good reason for this win-lose or lose-lose situation.

There are already many tricky bilateral issues which remain resolved, no good to waste time and resources arguing over laksa and chicken rice.

Unfazed by all the attention surrounding Felicia's plastic surgery hoo-hah, the two friends appear amiable and chatty with one another.

After Dasmond Koh's recent exposure of Felicia Chin's alleged plastic surgery on the Chinese papers, the pair made their first public appearance together at the press conference for upcoming Channel 8 drama series, Baby Bonus and variety programme, Housewives Pte Ltd.

With the spotlight of yesterday's press conference on both Dasmond and Felicia, the pair appeared awkward initially and even joked that it felt like a "contract-signing" event. They appeared chummy before the media and were spotted sharing little jokes throughout the interview.

I am glad both of them are still friends. Actually, plastic surgery for celebrities is very common in Hollywood. In South Korea, it is an open secret that most of their celebrities have gone under the knife to improve their appearances but their mass appeal are not affected.

I think plastic surgery is still a sensitive topic in Singapore. Thus, to have a colleague "bao liao" (spill the beans), is quite shocking.

Is this incident a joke or there is some truth? What do you guys think?

Noh Alam Shah criticizes our S-League, which caused a huge furore in the media. Some people says he is ungrateful and has lost his moral authority to lead the Lions.

My husband actually feels Noh Alam Shah is very frank and brave to state the harsh truths about our S-League.

We go to S-League matches once in a while, and the atmosphere is really boring. I guess the cheers made in pubs are even louder when the Premier League matches are aired.

After 14 years, the S-League may have won Top Ten Leagues in Asia but fans are not flocking to the stadiums.

Like what my husband every time says, Singapore must return to the Malaysia Cup, then football fever will come back. But all the efforts at building our own League all these years will go down the drain... really very sad!

At the Extraordinary V Conference held last Friday at Zirca, local MediaCorp actress, Joanna Peh was seen to be in the company of rumoured boyfriend, Bobby Tonelli.

The pair was visibly engrossed in the performance and occasionally exchanged smiles and glances, appearing relaxed and comfortable in each other's company.

In an interview, Joanne expressed that she is unafraid of appearing alongside with Bobby at public places. "We meet up quite often."

The actress continued and explained that her curiosity was piqued after she read about the 'Little Nyona' segment. As all the tickets were sold out for last Friday's show, Joanne approached Bobby, who is an artiste under Fly Entertainment and asked him if he had anymore free tickets.

When Joanne was questioned about her relationship with Bobby, she averted the question by beating around the bush and replied, "What do you count 'dating' as? I have not been dating for a long time!"

The actress revealed that the both of them often chit-chat over meals together, "Both parties have to be interested in each other before they can go out together."

Quizzed at the progress of their relationship, Joanne remarked, "Sometimes when we are at crowded places, he will hold my hand and protect me. He is afraid that I will get lost."

Despite her non-committal replies on their relationship, Joanne pointed out that the both of them have only gotten to know each other one year ago from the Channel 8 hit series, The Little Nyona. She believes that it is necessary for a relationship to have a stable beginning and divulged that they are still at the beginning stage.

"He is very patient and really listens when I speak. He is not a judgmental person," she said.

SHE woke up in her favourite seat on the top deck of the double-decker bus to find a strange man's fingers doing a 'tip-toe' walk across her right breast.

She watched in horror as the fingers reached the middle of her breast, then stopped.

Shocked and still blurry from her hour-long nap in the early morning, she sat upright and elbowed her molester, who was dressed in army uniform.

Then she called her boyfriend who told her to take a photo of her molester. As she did not have a camera on her, she tried to take a photo of the man with her handphone. But he avoided her attempts by shielding his face behind his bag.

Said the 28-year-old teacher: 'He shoved me away, but I still managed to take a photo of him. But it was a bad one. I couldn't see anything at all.'

You should read the full story, almost like a TV serial on how the teacher manage to catch the molestor eventually.

This incident serves as a good lesson to all molestors that payback will come to those who outrage the modesty of girls.

By the way, the guy also very daring to molest a girl in army uniform when his name is displayed clearly.

A millionaire in northern China paid four million yuan (600,000 dollars) for a dog and ordered 30 luxury cars to come to the airport to greet her and the animal.

It seems most of the millionaires are not badly affected by the financial crisis. At least, they spare no second thoughts about splashing out cash.

Perhaps pure bred quality tibetan mastiff are very rare and thus command such a high price.

But still $600,000 can feed a lot of hungry mouths. What do you guys think of rich people spending money like that?

Word on the street is that MediaCorp actress Fiona Xie had tendered her resignation when she shockingly dropped out of Together at the eleventh hour before filming for the blockbuster drama officially began in July.

Her hasty departure sparked off rabid criticisms in the local entertainment industry. Since her mysterious exit from Singapore in July, Fiona remains out of sight and uncontactable.

Why is Fiona Xie keeping such a low profile? Has she relocated to Hongkong? Has she quit Mediacorp? Or Mediacorp has placed Fiona Xie in cold storage since her shock walk-out angered and embarrassed several senior executives.

These are the questions which a lot of people are curious to know but Fiona Xie has been shying away from the press. It will be a waste if she is no longer in the entertainment scene.

I always felt, of all the young artistes in Mediacorp, Fiona Xie is the one with the star quality. Her acting skills are so-so (not as good as Jeanette Aw) but she has the mass appeal, especially among teenage boys. And she is the darling of advertisers.

However, an artiste only has value when they stay in the limelight and people remember them.

Mediacorp may be a lousy TV station but at least it gives Fiona Xie opportunities to perform (leading role or not). Compared to Hongkong or Taiwan entertainment scene, it is very hard to break through and Fiona may just end up wasting her time.

Best to come back to Singapore lah.

The boy, who was apparently about 10 years old, was seen exposing his private parts to a group of youths while standing at the window of his flat.

I think this incident is very rude and offensive. But the thing that worries me is that there are many such cases nowadays of our youths engaging in sexual acts freely.

Our youths have have become more precocious which make me think whether our sexual education is on the right track? Or is it being overwhelmed by Western influences on TV and the internet?

This is a really funny video on twitter updates. For the twitter fanatics, I am sure they will love it. Check it out.
