#SHOWBIZ: Amira Othman: No 'when you getting married' questions anymore
In an interview with Harian Metro yesterday, Amira who hails from Johor Baru and was an Akademi Fantasia Season 10 finalist said that instead, her relatives and fans praised her for delivering a catchy, new tune with a good message.
"I didn't expect this song to do so well, and I am very grateful to composers and lyricists Omar K and Iqie Hugh for choosing me for it," said Amira, who has been "teased" by certain netizens about her friendship with popular singer-actor Fattah Amin.
"Bila Nak Kahwin is a song with a timeless message and all of us have been asked this question during Hari Raya, when we were still single and available," said Amira.
"The true message behind the song is that one's life partner or soulmate is determined by God, and people can only speculate and plan."
Asked if this year would be her last Hari Raya as a single person, Amira said that she was "hoping for the best".

#SHOWBIZ: Adira Suhaimi stands by Bella Astillah, avoids commenting on drama
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Adira Suhaimi is continuing to show her support for fellow artiste Bella Astillah following a recent incident at Anugerah Melodi Terhangat 2025 (AMT 2025). Adira, 33, considers Bella, 31, to be like a sister. She told Harian Metro that the two remain close and communicate regularly on WhatsApp. "I messaged her yesterday to offer my encouragement. If she's happy, I'm happy. If she's down, I feel it too. All I can do is pray for the best for her," Adira was quoted as saying. When asked about the incident at AMT 2025 involving Bella and actress Sophia Albarakbah, Adira chose not to comment. She said that she prefers to not get involved but always wishes Bella happiness. Adira also expressed her joy over Bella's rumoured relationship with Syed Saddiq, saying: "I just want to see her happy. I even smile when I watch her videos." Adira also shared her sympathy for singer Hafiz Suip, who recently went through a divorce. She hopes he stays strong and continues with his music career. "His voice is a gift. Not everyone has that talent. I hope he keeps going," she said. Adira, who famously collaborated with Hafiz on the hit song 'Ombak Rindu', said she would be open to working with him again if the opportunity arose. Meanwhile, Adira is scheduled to perform at Festival Tentang Cinta on Aug 9 at the Sabah International Convention Centre. She will be sharing the stage with Hael Husaini, Ara Johari, Marygrace, and Indonesian singers Andmesh and Ziva Magnolya. "This is more than just a show; it's like coming home. I want the audience to feel my sincerity on stage," said the artiste, who is originally from Ranau, Sabah.

(Video) CRAVITY Members Try Malaysian Snacks & Receive Duit Raya From Muna Bella
Last month, K-pop boy groups ATEEZ (에이티즈) and CRAVITY (크래비티) shared the stage, performing for Malaysian fans at the 2025 KPop Masterz in Kuala Lumpur. The latter also took part in several interviews, including one with Hype Malaysia, which you can read more about here. In one of their interviews with local media, the members not only had the chance to sample some Malaysian snacks but were also given duit raya. Duit raya in June? Why not! Here's what happened: Earlier this week, ERA FM posted the second part of their interview with CRAVITY during the group's recent visit to Malaysia. In the video, host Muna Bella told the members that a part of their song Break All The Rules had gone viral among Malaysians during Hari Raya due to a case of misheard lyrics. She then asked the group to sing the misheard line '이제 그 두 발을 내디뎌봐', which sounded like: 'Encik, ketupat rendang di depan.' Since Hari Raya had come up in conversation, and with Aidiladha, or Hari Raya Haji, being celebrated at the time of the interview, Muna took the opportunity to gift each member an envelope containing duit raya. 'Selamat Hari Raya!' she said cheerfully as she handed them out. Another highlight of the interview was when the host introduced the group to a variety of nostalgic Malaysian childhood snacks, including Tiger Biscuits, Apollo, Mamee Monster, and Nyam Nyam. Taeyoung, who lived in Malaysia when he was younger, recognised one of the foods on the table. 'Sangat Sedap!' the members said after trying the local snacks. The interview quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising the CRAVITY members for their politeness when receiving duit raya from Muna. The host herself echoed the sentiment, saying it was one of the most fun interviews she had ever done. We hope that CRAVITY will return to Malaysia for their next tour, and maybe they'll get to do more exploring during their next visit. Watch the full interview below: Sources: YouTube, Twitter
