PM Lee Hsien Loong is the real top social media influencer, Xiaxue and Gushcloud step aside

Long story short: A non-event happened cat fight broke out between social media marketing agencies Gushcloud and Nuffnang at the tail end of July 2014.

This was after Eunice Annabel, a Singaporean Internet sweet young thing under Gushcloud, uploaded this photo on her Instagram on July 25 with this caption, “So you wanna be on top? Gotta beat us first”, and got 5,000-plus Likes:

This drew a response from Xiaxue from Nuffnang, who thought that the girls from Gushcloud were just fronting. She put up her own photo on Instagram, one-upped them, called them names and received 22,000-plus likes:

And then along strolls Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who for no apparent reason at all, updated his Facebook profile picture on July 31, which featured him having a ear piece on and a Singapore flag lapel pin on his collar grinning from ear-to-ear:
 

Within two hours he received 24,000 Likes and counting.

Step aside Gushnang and Nuffcloud, this is the king of social media with the greatest influence in Asia Pacific. 

吳宗憲把當年「食字路口」的場景搬到各國街頭巷尾

吳宗憲真的玩很大，把當年「食字路口」的場景搬到各國街頭巷尾去做，成了現今的「綜藝玩很大」，這回他和包偉銘玩遍越南，被酸都兩把老骨頭，再玩骨頭都散了。

吳宗憲與包偉銘兩位年過50歲的大哥，帶著葛兆恩 (寶弟)、吳怡霈、黃豪平、LULU、GIGI及KID前往越南展開一場激烈的「奪金行動」，將8人分成兩隊，不斷對抗拚輸贏，第一關踩天鵝船到湖中拿呼 拉圈的遊戲，包偉銘奮力踩過頭竟踩到腳抽筋，表情猙獰工作人員還以為他在做效果，沒想到是真的，「年紀大了，真的不該這麼拚命。」

包偉銘一開始以為是一般的外景節目，出國的時候還穿得特別時尚，沒想到一上飛機就是一場惡夢的開始，在下龍灣的英雄島，在滾熱的沙灘上做「起立跟坐下」，然後限時爬上4百多階的階梯簡直是要出人命了。

吳怡霈這次挑戰精神極限，吃下越南美食「鴨仔蛋」，一把鼻涕一把眼淚吞下，一旁的KID還在旁邊講述小鴨還未出生就被煮成熟蛋的悲傷成長故事，幾乎將她逼到崩潰邊緣。

Justin Bieber celebrate Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday

Talk about a star-studded birthday bash!

Justin Bieber joined Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kris Jenner to help celebrate Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday in Ibiza, Spain on Friday.

The singer took to Instagram to share a series of snapshots from his night out with the reality stars. In one pic, he nuzzles up to Kendall while his BFF Khalil plants a kiss on the model's cheek.

We can't really blame these boys for cozying up to the 18-year-old beauty. She looked stunning in a plunging black jumpsuit, which she paired with a sexy red lip.

Biebs also posted a pic of himself spooning with the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" matriarch.
"@kendalljenner @kyliejenner who's your daddy," he captioned the creepy candid. 

Mrs. Kanye West, who looked sophisticated in a slinky silk black gown, also shared some pics from the bash on the social media site.

"Birthday boy!!!" she captioned a pic of herself with Kris, Kendall and the Givenchy creative director.

Kanye West performed at the party for Tisci, a close friend of the family and, of course, the designer of Kim's wedding dress.

We'll have to see what's next for these globe-trotting stars! 

MC Kangin requested a mission to the f(x) members

F(x)’s Victoria sent a special text message to TVXQ’s Max Changmin.

During a recent shoot for KBS 2TV’s A Song For You, MC Kangin requested a mission to the f(x) members, who are known to have many celebrity friends.

Kangin said, “Let’s try and see what happens when you randomly text ‘I love you’ to your friends.”

Upon getting the mission, the f(x) members started sending the text message to their acquaintances. 

While waiting for the replies, Victoria got the first text message back, which was from none other than TVXQ’s Max Changmin.

As if he was shocked by Victoria’s sudden ‘confession,’ Max Changmin tried to change the subject by texting back ‘Huh? You’ve been busy lately, right?’ causing everyone to burst out laughing at the studio.

The episode will air on August 2.

《冲上云霄》开拍电影版，剧中主要演员吴镇宇、张智霖（Chilam）、古天乐、郑秀文（Sammi）穿机师服出现

以航空事业为蓝本，主要讲空中服务员、以及机师感情生活为主题的电视剧《冲上云霄》开拍电影版，今日在将军澳开镜拜神，剧中主要演员吴镇 宇、张智霖（Chilam）、古天乐、郑秀文（Sammi）穿机师服出现，而佘诗曼就穿空姐制服加黑丝现身，另一个女主角郭采洁并未有出席。

这天两对旧绯闻情侣，分别是张智霖及佘诗曼，古天乐与郑秀文，不过电影公司安排他们分开做访问，古仔及Sammi就没什么谈话，戏里他们两个亦不是一对， 原来Sammi是与Sam哥吴镇宇一齐喎。讲到Sammi做新版“何年希”取代原有的陈法拉，网民就认为不多合适，一来外型不像，二来Sammi的年龄亦 稍大。

现场Sammi大赞戏中的男演员穿机师制服好有型，个个Body好吸引，至于片酬价钱是否好高，她说：“怎么会比较高？三位男主角未加我岂敢加？分分钟要减呢。”外间有传Sammi怕男友许志安呷醋，所以推了《五个小孩的校长》部戏，不与前绯闻对象古仔合作，问她是否怕安仔不喜欢？Sammi否认说：“完全不是！一直没找我谈，亦没接触过我。”

而戏中的另一对古仔及阿佘，多年前拍剧合作过，今次会有亲热戏。古仔做航空公司的CEO，遇上这个空姐阿佘，问到阿佘性感尺度会不会好像陈法拉那么激？阿佘说：“秘密，法拉点激法？我不与人比较，不是卖弄性感。”其实阿佘穿黑丝对一班男士来讲已经好杀，而古仔还说：“算喇！等你大露背，我也露前面，但会穿裤。”
