Actress Tay Ying and celebrity chef Wu Sihan hold star-studded wedding
The wedding was held at Orchard Hotel Singapore with 72 tables and about 700 guests. Photos: Tay Ying/Instagram Singaporean actress Tay Ying and celebrity chef Wu Sihan tied the knot on Father's Day on June 15. 'We had the perfect wedding thanks to so many people,' Tay, 29, wrote on social media on June 16, tagging Wu, 33, in the post. 'While we take our time to absorb everything that happened this weekend, here are some snippets of day 2 of our wedding last night.' The actress posted four photos from the ceremony, including one in which she was accompanied by her father – actor-producer Zheng Geping – and her uncle and godfather, Hong Weiwen. Hong is the younger brother of Tay's mother, actress Hong Huifang. Tay Ying also has a younger brother, singer-actor Calvert Tay, 25. The wedding was held at Orchard Hotel Singapore with 72 tables and about 700 guests. According to Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao , Tay Ying and Wu chose the venue as it was where Hong Huifang, 64, and Zheng, 61, had held their wedding 32 years ago. The star-studded affair on June 15 was attended by many current and former Singaporean artistes. The guests included Christopher Lee and his wife Fann Wong, Yvonne Lim and her family, Florence Tan, Vincent Ng, Cassandra See, Chen Xiuhuan, Xiang Yun, Aileen Tan, Jin Yinji, Huang Biren, Tang Miaoling, Cherie Lim, Chen Tianwen, Chen Hanwei, Richard Low and Lin Ruping. Also on the guest list were younger artistes such as Elvin Ng, Romeo Tan, Rebecca Lim, Chantalle Ng, Desmond Tan, Hong Ling and her husband Nick Teo, as well as Denise Camillia Tan and Xixi Lim. Tay and Wu met in 2021 at Italian bistro Supply & Demand at Esplanade Mall – where Wu is the head chef – through his cousin, a friend of Tay's. Wu proposed to Tay in March 2024, but the couple kept it under wraps for a year before announcing the engagement on social media in March. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

(Video) Actor Pedro Pascal Shows Love For His Lookalike Contest Winner
Lookalike contests were all the rage last year, crowning lookalikes for stars like Zayn Malik, Timothée Chalamet and more. As it turns out, lookalike contests are still taking place today, with one man from New York winning a contest for looking like actor Pedro Pascal. According to reports, the Pedro Pascal lookalike contest happened at a restaurant in Manhattan, New York, on Father's Day (15th June 2025, Sunday). While 30 hopefuls had entered, the winner was George Gountas from Brooklyn, a.k.a Pedro #5. Not only was the 42-year-old dad crowned as Pedro Pascal's lookalike, he also walked away with US$50 (approximately RM212) and a year's worth of free burritos from the restaurant. Soon after winning the lookalike contest, George quickly went viral on social media – all because he actually resembled the 'The Last Of Us' actor. If you're familiar with these lookalike contests, the winners rarely look like the stars they're supposed to resemble, prompting heavy criticism. Thankfully for George, many said his win was well-deserved. Even the original Pedro Pascal seemed to give his approval. Pedro shared his reaction to George's win in an Instagram post about the lookalike contest. While the 50-year-old didn't directly say anything, he did leave a few emojis, including five moustachioed men, a teary-eyed smiley face and a heart. Fans were excited to see Pedro's comment about his lookalike, with some urging him to meet some of the contestants. Others even jokingly asked if he was secretly George. Interestingly, George has been compared to the Chilean-American actor for quite some time. His wife, Jenny, said people had begun noticing the resemblance after Pedro appeared on 'Game On Thrones'. George even said he looked more like the actor than his brother. As for joining the contest, the 42-year-old said he knew about it from a stage manager at 'The Daily Show', where he works as a lighting designer. Now, all that's left is for Pedro and George to meet in person so we can properly see the resemblance. In the meantime, check out videos from the contest below: Sources: Entertainment Weekly, CBR, Instagram What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0
