#SHOWBIZ: Kim Kardashian finishes law studies after six years
LOS ANGELES: After six years of hard work, Kim Kardashian has successfully completed her law studies.
The 44-year-old celebrity took to her Instagram yesterday, to proudly share her achievement.
However, she did not graduate from attending conventional law school, instead she had enrolled in the California apprentice programme through a law firm in San Francisco.
"Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer.
"It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up.
"Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph - especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared," she wrote in the caption to the post which also had photos of her at the graduation ceremony.
She added that she is now one step closer to becoming a lawyer as she still needs to sit for an exam that will qualify her to practise law.
She also thanked several individuals who had guided her to this achievement.
"I'm deeply grateful to Van Jones, who introduced me to this path, and to my mentors, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney, whose guidance was invaluable.
"Special thanks to Sam Farkas and Chuck Shonholtz, who dedicated countless hours to help me succeed.

SHAH ALAM: Singer Datuk Nora Ariffin's divorce proceedings against her husband, Dr Rushdi Ramli, are moving forward at the Petaling Syariah Lower Court, with the couple now in the process of appointing a Conciliation Committee (JKP). Nora arrived at the courthouse around 8.50am, confirming she had appointed her adopted sister, Rafeah Ariffin, to represent her on the JKP. She affirmed her decision to proceed with the divorce, stating, "So far, there has been no withdrawal of the filing. I am sticking to the original plan. But, I will leave everything to the court." The marital difficulties between Nora and Rushdi first surfaced on Aug 12 last year, becoming a widely discussed topic online. Public attention was drawn after Nora shared a video on Instagram showing Rushdi pronouncing a divorce on her, leading to various speculations. This prompted Nora to formally file for divorce at the Petaling Syariah Lower Court on April 21. Nora confirmed her marriage to Rushdi, a senior lecturer in the Department of Fiqh and Usul at a university in the capital, at the end of 2021.

President Tharman praises Indian music star A.R. Rahman for helping Singapore musicians
President Tharman Shanmugaratnam met award-winning Indian music star A.R. Rahman when Rahman was in Singapore. - THARMAN SHANMUGARATNAM/INSTAGRAM SINGAPORE: President Tharman Shanmugaratnam has praised Indian music star A.R. Rahman for working with Singapore musicians. In social media posts on Monday (June 2), Tharman uploaded photos of himself meeting the Grammy-, Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning music and film icon popularly known as ARR. Rahman, 58, was in town on May 10 and 11 for the premiere of Le Musk, a multi-sensory virtual-reality (VR) film he directed that is screening at Golden Village Suntec City until Aug 12. 'Our Indian music and cultural talent, from classical to the most contemporary and edgy, are naturally a minority in the local scene. But they make Singapore's multiculturalism all the more special,' President Tharman wrote. 'ARR has also done our own talent good over the years, by giving them valuable exposure,' he added, listing the home-grown acts who have worked with Rahman – rapper-songwriter duo Lady Kash and Krissy, singer-musician Shabir and rapper Yung Raja. Rahman's collaborations include Wanna Mash Up?, a song with Lady Kash and Krissy for the 2014 Hindi film Highway. Tharman added that Singapore was the first place Rahman – who was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu – travelled to outside of India in the 1980s, and how the musician bought his equipment from local music stores Swee Lee and City Music. 'Good to see that both local music stores are still going strong after all these years,' Tharman wrote. Rahman is a prolific musician, composer and singer whose works span more than 145 films. Incorporating Indian classical with contemporary Western, his music famously transcends Tamil, Hindi and Telugu films, and has made a mark on Hollywood, the West End and Broadway. He gained global fame when his soundtrack to the Mumbai-set British film Slumdog Millionaire (2008) earned him Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song – for the upbeat number Jai Ho – in 2009. The crime drama romance, which starred Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, also won Rahman Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Le Musk, a 37-minute film that marks his directorial debut, uses pioneering camera technologies to present an immersive film that blends VR, haptics, music and fragrance. At GV Suntec City, viewers will wear VR headsets and sit in special egg-shaped chairs that release scents. Rahman has staged several concerts in Singapore, most recently at the National Stadium on Aug 31. He also performed at Gardens by the Bay in 2014, the Singapore Indoor Stadium in 2005, and Marina Bay Sands in 2011. - The Straits Times/ANN
