Justin Bieber to open own store



Justin Bieber is in talks with the people who helped the Kardashian sisters launch their store to open his own clothing shop in a shopping centre in Los Angeles.

Justin Bieber is planning to open his own store.

The 16-year-old singing sensation is in negotiations with a company who helped Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian set up their Las Vegas boutique Khaos to develop a retail outlet at The Grove in Los Angeles.

The store in the upmarket outdoor shopping centre would see Justin lend his image to products ranging from shoes, skateboards and lollipops.

An insider told RadarOnline.com: 'They want to have everything Justin Bieber. They are also trying to find other Island Def Jam artists to be the face of some candy as well.'

No opening date has been set for the store yet but it is hoped it will be launched by the end of this year.

Last month Justin announced the launch of his collection of trading cards with Panini America.

The 'One Less Lonely Girl' hitmaker's merchandise also includes three CDs, a fragrance, a line of nail polish, T-shirts, mugs, aluminium water bottles, lunch boxes, headphones, dolls, Christmas tree ornaments, a Halloween wig and boxer shorts.

Employees’ EPF payment back at 11%

KUALA LUMPUR: The monthly Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contribution for the private sector will revert to 11% effective January, from the current 8%.

“Employers must ensure that the correct amount is deducted from the wages of their employees based on the higher contribution rate and remitted to us,” EPF public relations general manager Nik Affendi Jaafar said in a statement yesterday.

Contributions from employees were reduced from 11% to 8% over a two-year period from January 2009 to December 2010.

Nik Affendi said employees who had previously submitted the KWSP 17A (AHL) special form to maintain the contribution rate at 11% during the two-year period, would not be affected.

12-year-old raped by brother on mum’s orders

AFTER being raped by her brother on her mother’s orders, a 12-year-old girl was given over to a loan shark to settle her mother’s debts.

Since the incident 14 years ago, the victim, who only identified herself as Lili, has turned to prostitution to support herself for the past eight years, reported Harian Metro.

“I blame my mother for my situation now. I will never forgive her,” said Lili, 26.

She said her ordeal began after she went back to stay with her family after living with an aunt for nine years.

“After I was raped, my mother gave me to her loan shark who repeatedly raped me.

“I escaped and told my aunt what my mother and brother had done and she made a police report,” said Lili.

She added her family was in disarray because her mother had also “sold” four other sisters of her 10 siblings.

Lili was taken in by the Welfare Department after her mother and brother were arrested, but moved to Kuala Terengganu once she turned 18 and started to work as a prostitute.

She has three children, two of whom she gave away. She is currently expecting her fourth child.

She is caring for her third child but plans to put her fourth child up for adoption.

> A Kuala Terengganu traffic policeman was pierced in the neck by an ornamental tree branch while trying to apprehend a motorcyclist on Sunday.

Kosmo! reported that Kpl Robuan Ahmad, 50, was on his way to work when he spotted a teenage boy riding a motorycycle without a helmet. The motorcycle also did not have a licence plate.

Kpl Robuan and another policeman gave chase on Jalan Lapangan Terbang in Gong Badak and Robuan rammed into the youth’s motorcycle to prevent him from escaping.

“Robuan was thrown on to the road divider and was pierced in the neck by a branch of an ornamental tree planted there,” said state police chief Datuk Jamshah Mustapa.

He said the youth managed to escape while Kpl Robuan was sent to the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital for surgery to remove the branch.

New cooking show for Angel Wong


Angel Wong's father, George used to cook for royalty.

By Fiona Ho

Multi-talented Angel Wong Chui Ling is set to launch a new cooking programme.

Hong Kong-born Wong, who is a celebrated TV and radio personality here, told The Daily Chilli in a recent interview at Delicious, One Utama, that she plans to get her father on the yet-untitled show.

“My dad was a former chef for royalty and I hope to pass on the knowledge that he has through my show,” she explained.

“It’s a bit hard to drag him out of retirement, though. He’s 63 now and all he wants is to have dim sum in peace,” she added with a laugh.

Besides her TV show, Wong is also working on her new iPad and iPhone applications.

Currently, Wong’s food app, aptly named Tastefully Chic is available on the app store for both the iPad and the iPhone.

“My iPad app is really a continuation of my second book, Tastefully Chic. It features all the best fine dining places in Kuala Lumpur,” said the bubbly TV host.

“Meanwhile, my iPhone app is more like a food directory that tells you where all the best fine dining places in KL are,” she added.

“I will launch two new apps after the Chinese New Year,” she revealed, adding they will also be lifestyle-centric apps.

Wong’s first book was a spin-off from her popular TV programme One Day Five Meals, which aired on Astro Wah Lai Toi.

The programme demonstrates how to stretch RM50 to cover five tasty meals a day.

Her other projects include a 15-minute daily radio show on MYfm and Hong Kong’s highly-rated travel programme,Tohoku Travel Blog.
