#SHOWBIZ: Leez's 1989 hit 'EL' trends on TikTok, singer hesitant on comeback
KUALA LUMPUR: Former singer Noor Liza Abu Bakar, better known as Leez, 55, was surprised to discover her 1989 hit 'EL' has recently gone viral on TikTok's For You Page. Harian Metro reported today that the 55-year-old said she had recently been inundated with WhatsApp messages and social media friend requests, despite having left the limelight many years ago. Leez went on to release a second album, 'Jendela', in 1990 (produced by Usop of Kopratasa and Eric Yeoh) and recorded a third for BMG that was never issued. After marrying composer-producer Razman, she stepped away from music to raise two daughters, now 29 and 25. She currently runs a catering and nasi lemak business. Though invited twice to join the TV comeback show 'Gegar Vaganza', she declined. "I'm afraid that the glamour would give me a headache as my 15 minutes of fame have passed," she said. However, she doesn't rule out a future single, saying, "We may plan, but God decides." Meanwhile, netizens have been debating the identity of the singer of "EL", with some mistaking her for Leez Rosli (an Akademi Fantasia 4 alumna), while others even believed the singer had already passed away.

#SHOWBIZ: Actress Linda Hashim slams estranged husband over blame game
KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Linda Hashim, 41, has hit back at her estranged husband, Beego, who recently issued a public statement on social media blaming her for their marital problems. Linda said that Beego "should know" what truly caused the ongoing conflict within their family. "Beego thinks only he is in the right," she told Harian Metro. Linda refuted Beego's claims of providing sufficient child maintenance, explaining that the amount he gave was inadequate for the current cost of living. "The most he ever gave me was RM500. I fully cover all our children's school expenses. When any of them falls ill, I also bear all the medical costs," she said. Beego recently disclosed on social media that Linda had frequently left their home without his permission over the past nine months and had blocked him on all social media platforms except Facebook. The couple married in June 2013 and have three daughters: Jelita Clarissa, 11; Anggun Cassandra, 10; and Indah Camelia, 6.

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)
