Cleo Laine, British jazz singer who performed with Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra, dies at 97
LONDON, 2025 -British jazz singer Cleo Laine, who performed with musical greats including Frank Sinatra and starred as an actor in London's West End and on Broadway, has died aged 97, the Guardian newspaper reported on Friday, citing a statement from her children Jacqui and Alec. Born to an English mother and a Jamaican father in a suburb of London in 1927, she initially worked as a hair-dresser, a hat-trimmer and a librarian. She married in 1946 and had a son while still a teenager. Driven on by her dream of becoming a singer, she divorced and got her big break in 1951, when she joined the band of English saxophonist and clarinettist John Dankworth at 24. Dankworth's band decided her name was too long - at the time she thought she had been born Clementine Campbell, though a passport application later revealed her mother had used her own surname Hitching on the birth certificate. The men of the Dankworth Seven band thought her name was too cumbersome for a poster, and that her nickname Clem was too cowboy-like. They settled on a new stage persona for her by drawing "Cleo" and "Laine" from hats. In 1958, she and Dankworth married. Their home became a magnet for London's jazz set: friends included stars from across the Atlantic such as Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald, Lester Young and Dizzy Gillespie. After acting as well as singing in Britain through the 1960s, Laine toured Australia in 1972 and performed at New York's Lincoln Centre. The recording of a further show, at Carnegie Hall, won her a Grammy. Recordings included "Porgy and Bess" with Ray Charles. In 1992 she appeared with Frank Sinatra for a series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall in London, but she was best known for her work with Dankworth's bands. He later became her musical director. The couple built their own auditorium in the grounds of their home near London and were friends with the late Princess Margaret, the sister of the late Queen Elizabeth II. Their two children went on to become musicians. Dankworth - who Laine described as being "joined at the hip" with her - died in 2010. Hours after his death, Laine performed a scheduled show in their auditorium, announcing the news about her husband only at the end of the concert. (Editing by Andrew Heavens and Olivier Holmey)

#SHOWBIZ: Taylor Swift waxworks to grace 13 Madame Tussauds locations worldwide
LONDON: Pop icon Taylor Swift is set to be immortalised in wax at 13 Madame Tussauds locations across the globe, the museum announced yesterday. This number, a nod to Swift's well-known lucky number 13, marks what the museum describes as its "most ambitious project" in its 250-year history, according to a news report quoting their statement. Each of the statues is inspired by iconic looks from Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour (2023–2024). The tour spanned 149 shows worldwide and grossed over US$2 billion (RM8.44 billion), making it the most lucrative tour in music history. Over 40 artists dedicated more than a year to crafting the 13 lifelike figures of the 14-time Grammy winner. Danielle Cullen, the museum's senior figure stylist, commented, "This is the most ambitious project in Madame Tussauds' 250-year history, which only feels right to reflect the stratospheric status of Taylor Swift." The wax figures will be displayed in London, Blackpool, Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapest, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, Nashville, New York, Orlando, and Sydney. The 13th statue will embark on a tour of the remaining Madame Tussauds locations, commencing its journey in Shanghai.

#SHOWBIZ: Miera Leyana: Stop airing your ex-husband's dirty laundry and move on
KUALA LUMPUR: "Enough with airing your ex-husband's dirty laundry. There's no need to gain people's sympathy by using my name." This was the reaction of actress Miera Leyana, 31, when asked to comment on the ongoing court case involving her husband, entrepreneur Rosland Othman, 52, and his former first wife, Adibah Abdul Mutalib, 52. Miera said that the protracted legal dispute involving her husband and Adibah had negatively impacted her reputation within the local entertainment scene. The actress, who won Best Supporting Actress at the 2013 Anugerah Skrin for the film Pecah, expressed that her standing had been tarnished due to her association with the case. "I have won awards in the arts industry, but my reputation is now tainted by such a personal issue. "I have also slowly started to become an 'influencer' with several international brands. "But with my husband's court case still pending, my work has also been disrupted. "Her (Adibah's) statements to the media could also damage my good name and that of my family. "Stop airing your ex-husband's dirty laundry and move on with your life," she told Harian Metro. The Apokalips X and Lebuhraya Ke Neraka actress also highlighted that her priority now is her husband and two growing children. "My children's mental health is more important. My children are growing up, and this issue can't be erased, nor can what she (Adibah) said to the media regarding her husband. "When the children grow up, they will read the news reports about their father, and I want to protect my children's emotions," said the mother of two. Regarding the claims for child support, iddah, and muta'ah maintenance filed by Adibah, Miera stated that while Adibah can claim what she deems appropriate, the court should ultimately decide. "If you are not satisfied with the divorce case, sue in court. There is no need to issue a statement that disgraces your ex-husband and family. "Don't use my name to get publicity because you're not even an artiste. "When you make a statement that exposes your ex-husband's disgrace to the media, it also disturbs the emotions of your own children," she said. Previously, after successfully obtaining permanent custody of her three children in February, Adibah filed a claim for child support, iddah support (post-divorce maintenance), and muta'ah (consolatory gift) against Rosland at the Putrajaya Syariah Lower Court on June 25.
