‘Insta-gran' who rocked social media dies aged 97
Goofy grandma: Nishimoto seen dressed in a dog costume, during a photo shoot outside her house in Kumamoto, Japan, in this 2018 filepic. — AFP A Japanese great-grandmother with 400,000 Instagram followers who shot to fame for her goofy self-portraits after taking up photography aged 72 has died, her son said. Kimiko Nishimoto, who died this week at the age of 97, said in a 2018 interview that 'you can take photos no matter how old you get'. 'Wherever it is, in your house, outside, or in your bed, you can do it. That is the nice thing about a camera,' she said. Dubbed the 'selfie queen' by Japanese media, Nishimoto's posts showed her in various candid poses – from riding a broom like Harry Potter to imitating an off-duty sumo wrestler on their fifth beer of the night. 'Our mother always created her work with a smile,' a post from her son Kazutami Nishimoto said on her Instagram account on Thursday. 'We are deeply grateful to everyone who visited her photography exhibitions held across the country, to those who shared warm words of encouragement through Instagram... and to all who supported her warmly throughout her journey.' Nishimoto's son teaches photography classes, which his mother started taking in retirement. 'Though she began photography at the age of 72, she was blessed with countless encounters, which enriched this third chapter of her life tremendously,' he said. Nishimoto appeared on national television as her online following grew and was interviewed by major news outlets. But her more out-there visual scenarios were also the cause of some confusion over the years. One snap – showing her wrapped in a garbage bag, as if she had been discarded – drew criticism from people who didn't know she was involved in its set-up. 'It's not like ideas just suddenly pop into my head but wherever I go I think about what it would be fun to dress up as in that place,' she said in 2018. — AFP

Barbie Hsu's kids at centre of drama as stepmum complains about costly camp fee
Wang Xiaofei and Mandy Ma held a wedding ceremony just last month, after registering their marriage in 2024. The late Barbie Hsu (far right) had two children with Wang. Photos: Mandy Ma/Instagram, Barbie Hsu/Instagram Drama is heating up in the Wang Xiaofei household after his new wife, Mandy Ma, sparked outrage online over a livestream comment she made about summer camp costs, reported Sin Chew Daily . The 44-year-old Chinese businessman is the ex-husband of the late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu. Wang and Hsu share two kids from their 11-year marriage: an 11-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son. Hsu passed away in February at the age of 49 due to pneumonia-related complications. This latest controversy began during a livestream, where 26-year-old influencer Ma mentioned that the 2,000 yuan (RM1,177) summer camp fee for one of Hsu's children seemed 'a bit expensive'. Ma's comment didn't sit well with netizens, who quickly accused her of being stingy – especially since she is now a stepmother to Hsu's children. Responding to the backlash, Ma clarified that the 2,000 yuan fee – equivalent to TWD$8,215 – was for just one hour of camp. 'The payment has already been made,' she explained. 'We were just casually chatting – thank you for treating our family matters like your own.' Despite the online criticism, Ma is said to be actively involved in her stepchildren's lives. One of the kids even wrote her a heartfelt Mothers Day card this year, saying: 'Thank you for often taking me abroad. Happy Mothers Day.' Wang and Ma held a lavish wedding ceremony last month, a year after registering their marriage.

Isabella Leong, who once dated a HK billionaire, reportedly in new relationship
Actress Isabella Leong is believed to be dating Chinese actor and director Marc Ma. Photos: Isabella Leong/Instagram, Sin Chew Daily Macau-born actress Isabella Leong, the ex-girlfriend of Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li, has apparently found love again, Sin Chew Daily reported. The 36-year-old recently sparked dating rumours after she was photographed attending an event with Chinese actor and director Marc Ma, who's nine years her senior. The pair were later seen holding hands as they left the venue, appearing happy and relaxed as they chatted and laughed. It's reported that the two had dinner together later in the day. According to Hong Kong media reports, speculation about Leong and Ma's budding romance first surfaced in late 2024, when they were spotted leaving a cafe in Beijing hand-in-hand. The rumours intensified when netizens noted that Leong has been spending much of her time in Beijing in recent years, suggesting it may be because she wants to be closer to Ma, 45. Leong met Li on the set of The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor through Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh in 2008. Both Yeoh and Leong starred in that Hollywood movie. Although she was initially interested in marrying Li – with whom she shares three children – Leong decided to call it quits in February 2011 as she 'couldn't accept' how 'popular' the billionaire was with women. 'I needed more security in my life,' she said in a talk show last year. Meanwhile, Ma began his career as a child actor in the 1991 film Fazike but initially struggled to find a foothold in the industry. After graduating from high school, he left his hometown of Lanzhou and travelled to Beijing to sit for the entrance exam at the Central Academy of Drama which he unfortunately failed. In 2000, Ma found work as a production assistant at a drama production company and later starred in the 2003 series Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils – a role that opened more doors for casting opportunities. He gained fame for his performance in the 2013 film The White Storm , which earned him the Best Newcomer prize at the Hundred Flower Awards.
