#SHOWBIZ: Mila Mohsin set to follow parents' footsteps in acting
Mila, whose full name is Hani Karmila Hani Mohsin, shared that her mother, the acclaimed producer and star of Puteri Gunung Ledang The Movie, has given her blessing for Mila to pursue acting.
This exciting new chapter begins with the film Laknat, set to premiere on June 5.
"Coincidentally, Saw Teong Hin, the director of Laknat, contacted me and without hesitation, I agreed to join the cast," Mila revealed at a recent preview of the movie at GSC Mid Valley Megamall.
Having made her acting debut last year in Melur The Musical at the Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre (PJPAC), Mila expressed immense gratitude for having learned the fundamentals of acting directly from her parents.
"Every step I take, they are in my heart and soul. If the film is successful, I'll be very grateful and thankful to them," she said.
Mila further emphasised her appreciation for compelling narratives, whether in mainstream or independent productions.
While comparisons to her illustrious parents are inevitable, Mila's mother has encouraged her to "be herself" and disregard any naysayers.
"I'm determined to be my own person in showbiz. I feel blessed to have parents who worked hard to excel in showbiz, and they are my role models who have set the benchmark high," Mila said, highlighting her ambition to forge her unique path.
Mila also draws inspiration from the versatile actor Bront Palarae, commending his ability to elevate Malaysia's cinematic presence globally through his roles in Indonesian productions and international award-winning films.
"Bront Palarae is multi-talented, one of our finest actors, who has put our movie industry on the global map," she said.

‘Hollywood Con Queen' fails to quash US extradition
An Indonesian national dubbed the 'Hollywood Con Queen' by the media for allegedly impersonating top female movie industry executives in a seven-year fraud lost his bid on Tuesday to block his extradition from Britain to stand trial in the United States. Hargobind Tahilramani is wanted in California on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft for allegedly defrauding around 300 people out of a total of approximately US$1mil (RM4.2mil) between 2013 and 2020. The 45-year-old is accused of tricking people into travelling to Indonesia and paying exorbitant fees for non-existent film work, before he was arrested in a hotel in Manchester, England, in November 2020. Tahilramani's extradition was approved by a judge and then British ministers in 2023, but he challenged the decision to send him to the US to stand trial, arguing prison conditions would breach his human rights due to his mental health. His lawyer Edward Fitzgerald told London's High Court in April that Tahilramani, who has applied for asylum in Britain, was also at risk of being attacked in prison as a gay man. But Tahilramani's appeal was dismissed by Judge Derek Sweeting, who said in a written ruling that the lower court was not wrong when it ordered his extradition to stand trial. — Reuters

Penang bridge ‘Aura Farming' rider sparks safety concerns
A viral video has surfaced showing a man performing the viral 'aura farming' 'pacu jalur' dance while riding a high-powered motorcycle on the Penang Bridge, raising safety concerns and sparking criticism online. The 13-second video, which was uploaded to the Penang Kini Facebook page, captures the man letting go of his motorcycle's handlebars to carry out the flamboyant dance move while speeding along the busy bridge. The act was believed to be recorded by another motorcyclist, possibly by the man's friend who was riding on another motorcycle alongside him. In the clip, the man can be seen standing slightly upright and swinging his arms in a theatrical manner, mimicking the viral 'aura farming' moves associated with the traditional pacu jalur boat race in Indonesia. As the video nears its end, the motorcyclist quickly grabs the handlebars again to avoid a collision with a car in front, highlighting just how risky the stunt was. This aura farming dance move gained popularity worldwide after a widely shared performance by Indonesian participant Rayyan Arkan Dikha during a traditional boat race event in Indonesia. While the exact date and time of the recording remain unknown, the video has garnered over 350,000 views and sparked a wave of concern among social media users since it was posted. Many online commenters criticised the act as reckless and dangerous, especially considering the potential for a serious accident, not only involving the rider but also putting other motorists at risk. Authorities have yet to release a statement or identify the individual involved, but netizens have called for strict action to be taken to discourage such behaviour on public roads.

#SHOWBIZ: A mature release from Raisa
RELEASING her fifth studio album, 'ambiVert', has brought a unique set of pressures for popular Indonesian singer Raisa. Known for her heartfelt songs that often explore themes of sadness and healing, Raisa admits to facing significant expectations from her dedicated fanbase. "The biggest challenge when producing this album was a feeling of self-doubt. I have many successful works and my own established storyline. "So, every time a new album comes out, fans have high expectations," she said recently at the 'ambiVert' album launch in the capital. Raisa confessed that comments from fans often left her feeling down. "I overthink, feel a lack of self-confidence, and often dwell on things unrelated to music, to the point where it affects my emotions. "But, when I step into the studio with a pen and blank paper, I focus solely on expressing my feelings honestly. Everything that bothers me slowly disappears." To ensure her work remains fresh, Raisa Andriana, 35, not only organises workshops but also draws inspiration from her own experiences and those around her. "In the studio, I sit down and share the mood I'm feeling at that moment. From there, we start by creating stories, playing out scenarios in our heads, and imagining situations from our daily lives. "Because this is my fifth album, I've already produced a lot of work. I don't want to have a repetitive story. I'm trying to find a theme that hasn't been explored before. "If there are any themes that I've touched upon previously, this time, I will try to delve deeper. If the theme is still the same, I try to develop it, approaching it from the perspective of someone more mature and wise," she said. When asked about her favourite and most challenging song on the 'ambiVert' album, the 'Kali Kedua' and 'Teristimewa' singer said: "The single 'Bila' tells a story about assumptions and what might happen. I describe this song as perfect because the lyrics, melody, and musical arrangement are in harmony. "The final song 'Terserah' is very difficult, especially if I have to sing it in the morning during a promotional session. If I could, I really wouldn't want to sing that song. "However, this song motivated me because I needed to learn certain skills, such as vocal warm-ups, before singing it." While many other singers just release singles, Raisa remains committed to producing full albums. "My fans truly appreciate the hard work I put into each album. Everyone has their own taste. If I produce only singles, how can I fulfil their desires? For me, singles and albums offer different experiences. "Apart from that, creating an album is a very personal moment for me because every album has its own story. "Some albums were produced when I had just become a mother while others were created when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, and so on," she said.
