Sir Christopher Lee has died at the age of 93 after being hospitalised for respiratory problems and heart failure. The veteran actor, best known for a variety of films from Dracula to The Wicker Man through to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, passed away on Sunday morning at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, according to sources. The decision to release the news days after was based on his wife’s desire to inform family members first. The couple had been married for over 50 years. As well as his career in film, Lee also released a series of heavy metal albums, including Charlemagne: The Omens of Death. He was knighted in 2009 for services to drama and charity and was awarded the Bafta fellowship in 2011. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jun/11/christopher-lee-dies-at-the-age-of-93-dracula

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U189SwhPXKI The death of Paul Walker, star of the Fast and Furious films has been an unmitigated tragedy. We know him from his films, but we gearheads also know him as one of us. In October last year, Matt Farah, host of The Smoking Tire, toured the seriously impressive car collection, which serves as a reminder of just what a passionate fan of driving and cars he was. One of the great things about cars is that they offer you a window into who someone is and what they care about. And over the course of this eight-minute video, we get to see what Paul Walker loved about cars. The literally dozens of Saleen Mustangs hint at a love of unpretentious blue collar speed. I was particularly pleased to see how many of the normally unloved Fox body Mustang’s Walker had. Sure, with that money, he could have bought something faster, newer, and sexier. But no, he chose to be interesting. That personality is on display throughout the collection, whether it’s a rare German sports car like the BMW M1, an old school Mercury two door wagon, or the gorgeous but slow Volvo P1800. It seems that Paul Walker loved cars for their souls. But clearly from the three Porsche GT3s that are scarred from going to war on the track, we know that these cars weren’t simply owned to be looked at. Yes, we should be sad that Mr. Walker is gone, as we should be sad whenever we lose anyone. We should also take a moment, though, to share in something that speaks of passion and joy.

INGAPORE - The former part-time actor approached them about two months ago with a sob story about needing money desperately for his ailing mother. Having known the man for more than 20 years, celebrity couple Hong Hui Fang and Zheng Geping decided to help him and have lent him $5,000 in total so far Then they heard from friends that the former actor, who we shall call A, had been seen gambling in the casinos here and word soon got around in their circle of friends that A had also borrowed up to five-digit sums from veteran A-list stars such as Zoe Tay, Chen Guo Hua and Hong Kong actress Michelle Yim after telling them the same sob story. Hong and Zheng are now wondering if they will get their money back, especially since some of the stars who lent him money have not been able to reach him recently. The couple said that A, who has acted in many MediaCorp dramas in the past, had phoned them on separate occasions in the last two months to say that he needed cash urgently to pay his rent and to take care of his old ailing mother who had previously suffered a stroke. Zheng, 49, told The New Paper in Mandarin on Monday: "He called me up and told me how pitiful his life is. "He begged me to lend him some money so that he could pay his maid who is taking care of his mother. "I was worried about his mum, and I felt that he might be telling the truth, so I lent him the money." He added: "It's only when I heard from my friends that they had seen him gambling in casinos here that I realised he had taken the money to gamble. "I am very disappointed because I felt that he shouldn't have lied to us. Most importantly, he should ensure that his mum has a place to stay and is okay now." Hong, 53, said: "Every time he borrows money from actors, he would use a different mobile phone number, and once the call ends, the number would not be in use any more. No one can find him to get back the money." At least two stars said they heard that A had sold his flat to feed his gambling habit and to pay off his gambling debts. He is said to have rented a room which he shares with his mother. Some local artistes, including Zheng and Hong, are now trying to find a charity organisation to take care of A's mother. Zheng said: "My wife did some research and texted him a list of charity organisations that can take his mum in, but he did not respond. As outsiders, this is all we can do to help. "We are not even thinking of getting our money back right now. All we want is for his mother to have a roof over her head." Veteran actor Chen Guo Hua, 52, who had tried to contact A several times, but to no avail, told Shin Min Daily News: "He had borrowed money from me many times, but had not given back the money. "He called me once while leading a tour group in China and said he needed to borrow money urgently. "He wanted me to transfer the money to a bank account in Singapore. "That was when I guessed that he might have wanted me to help him repay money he had borrowed from loan sharks." Veteran actress Xiang Yun was also approached by A last month. The 51-year-old told TNP: "He pleaded with me and I could hear that he was in a dire state. I told him that if he wanted to borrow a huge sum of money, I was unable to (help). My ATM card was not with me at the time and I was busy having my car repaired, so I told him I couldn't help him. "He even told me that I am one of the few local celebs who had not lent him money yet." A, who used to be a tour guide, had also convinced some local artists to invest in his travel agency business about two years ago, telling them that they could receive profits after six months. They included Hong, who pumped in $50,000, and actor Nick Shen, who invested a five-digit sum. Shen, who is in his 30s, told TNP: "I had a good working relationship with him in the past, so when he approached me to invest, I thought it was fine. "When I didn't hear from him after six months, I followed up with him and he told me his business had met some challenges. Eventually, he paid me back the full sum in instalments." Hong also said that A has repaid the $50,000 she lent him. Business failed When Shin Min managed to track A down over the phone on Friday, he said he was working part-time in Batam and that he needed to borrow the money because his business had failed. He denied he had been gambling. After reports on him came out that day, he called Shin Min on Saturday and said that he had lost his job in Batam and had returned to Singapore. He said: "I am not on the run and I did not say that I wouldn't pay back the money." He said he would contact his creditors and answer to them. As of last Monday evening, Zheng and Hong said they had yet to hear from him. Stars who reportedly lent money to A Chen Guo Hua Thousands of dollars Hong Kong actor Xia Yu Over $10,000 Hong Kong actress Michelle Yim $40,000 Zoe Tay $10,000 Zhang Jing Hua $30,000 Jing Yin Ji Over $10,000 Hong Hui Fang and Zheng Geping $5,000

Local actor Dai Peng passed away two days ago (May 12) at the age of 75. He had been diagnosed with lymphoma two weeks ago, the same cancer that fellow veteran Huang Wenyong had also suffered from. About a month ago, Dai Peng, whose real name is Dai Dexin, told his son Dai Li Yao, 36, that he felt strange and lethargic, reported Shin Min Daily News. Two weeks later, hospital tests on his bone marrow came back with his diagnosis: Lymphoma. The doctor also told them the prognosis was not optimistic, and chemotherapy had to be done as soon as possible. However, Dai Peng experienced side effects to the chemotherapy drugs, so treatment was stopped upon recommendation by the doctor. Dai Peng had starred in MediaCorp dramas Kopi-O II and Driven By A Car, amongst others. Mediacorp veteran Huang Wenyong had passed away earlier of the same cancer. He was 60 years old.

The intention is right but I guess the action is mixed with too much emotion.... SINGAPORE: Former MediaCorp actor Ng Aik Leong, better known as Huang Yiliang, was fined $3,000 on Thursday for hurting a woman who failed to clean up after her dog. The 50-year-old man, who left MediaCorp in 2008 and currently owns a production house, pleaded guilty to voluntarily causing hurt. The altercation took place near Toa Payoh Lorong 2 on May 20, 2011. 48-year-old Mdm Tan Buay Huang was walking her dog when Ng noticed from inside his car that she did not dispose of her dog's faeces properly. He drove up to her and scolded her for not cleaning up. Both parties started to quarrel and the incident escalated to the point where Ng and the victim started video-recording and taking pictures of each other with their handphones. The court also heard that Mdm Tan later tried to prevent Ng from leaving by standing in front of his car. Ng then got out of his car, grabbed Mdm Tan's neck and pushed her aside, causing her to fall. He continued taunting her while holding her down forcefully. In his mitigation, Ng's lawyer Mr Bala Chandran, said the scuffle arose as a result of Mdm Tan's actions rather than Ng's own volition. He added that Ng was "merely doing a civic duty by requesting the victim to pick up her dog's faeces". However, in response, Deputy Public Prosecutor Crystal Tan argued that Ng was clearly badgering Mdm Tan by taunting and honking at her. In addition, she said video footage revealed that Ng had admitted he was bothering Mdm Tan intentionally, and even threatening to send her to jail. In sentencing, District Judge Lee Poh Choo addressed the root of the incident, noting that it "arose from the ungracious behaviour of an irresponsible dog owner". While she said that Ng was right in confronting Mdm Tan, she added that he had "unfortunately went overboard", and reacted in an "ungentlemanly manner". The court also heard that Mdm Tan, who suffered multiple abrasions, will not be seeking compensation. Ng could have been jailed up to two years, and fined $5,000. - CNA/wm

Ex-teen actor starts jail term for insubordination in NS FORMER teen actor Marcus Ng Yi Loong, 21, began his one-week jail term on Tuesday after he failed in his appeal to get his sentence for insubordination quashed. The High Court on Tuesday upheld the jail sentence meted out by a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) court martial in July last year. He was also reprimanded by a Military Court of Appeal for being rude to his superior. This is the second time he has been hauled up since he started his military service in September 2006. Ng, who holds the rank of Private, is perhaps best-known as the rebellious teen in the TV sitcom Phua Chu Kang. Ng's troubles in the SAF began in October 2006 when his superiors at the SAF Medical Training Institute slapped him with four charges for offences including not obeying orders. In February last year, while he was being investigated by the SAF legal process, Ng chased and argued aggressively with a 50-year-old woman Warrant Officer in his unit's Operations Room. A Master Warrant Officer, a trained Commando, saw the altercation and intervened. Ng rudely shrugged off the Master Warrant Officer's hand when he tried to calm the Private. For this, Ng faced two more charges: one for insubordinate behaviour after the Operations Room argument, and another for improper conduct. Last July, an SAF court martial found him guilty of these charges and sentenced him to seven days jail at the SAF Detention Barracks for each charge. Unhappy with the sentence, Ng lodged a Notice of Appeal - a legal right for all SAF serviceman to seek redress - and was granted a hearing by a five-person panel chaired by Justice Choo Han Teck. In the meantime, Ng was fined $500 for two of the earlier charges and acquitted on the other charges. On Tuesday, Ng's defence lawyer, Mr Wendell Wong from Drew & Napier, said a jail term was 'the harshest punishment I've ever seen for this sort of offence'' and urged the panel to quash the convictions or impose a fine instead. But Mr Luke Tan, head of Military Law at the Ministry of Defence, argued: 'This is akin to a case where a person is on bail. Has he learnt anything from it? No, he goes one up and goes after two other officers.' 'It would be inappropriate to give a little slap on the wrist by imposing a fine as that would be of little consequence to him.'' Some 25 people, including Ng's mother, Madam Florence Tan, 58, were in court when the panel reached a unanimous decision to uphold the first charge and reduce the second sentence to a reprimand. He appeared teary-eyed when led away to begin his sentence.

A Hong Kong filmmaker aims to lure audiences back to the cinema with what he says is the world's first 3D erotic movie, a newspaper reported Sunday. Mr Stephen Shiu Jnr, chairman of One Dollar Production, said he would use special effects to make the love scenes in his HK$30 million (S$5.8 million) 3D Sex and Zen as realistic as possible. 'The 3D erotica will probably be the world's first,' he told the Sunday Morning Post. 'Just imagine that you'll be watching it as if you were sitting beside the bed.' The film is based loosely on the 17th century Chinese erotic classic The Carnal Prayer Mat, a tale about how overindulgence in pleasure can lead to tragedy. Mr Shiu told the newspaper that about 25 to 30 per cent of the movie would be love scenes, including many close-ups. He said the actresses would appear to be only a few centimentres from the viewers, who would have to wear special glasses to enjoy the 3D effects. The producer said he was planning to use adult video actresses from Japan and Taiwan. But he admitted having difficulties in finding the male lead. 'We're having trouble finding a male lead who is willing to undress in front of the camera. It's a lot more difficult to find an actor than an actress for this kind of movie.' Shooting will begin in April and it is expected to be released in time for Christmas, the report said. Hong Kong has seen the closure of many cinemas in recent years as traditional movie-goers switch to watching films on DVD at home. -- AFP
