This week’s news in a nutshell:
- If Asia’s 50 best restaurants weren’t prestigious enough for your inner gourmand, how about the World’s 50 Best? Restaurant Andre moved up one spot on the list this year at number 37, while Waku Ghin at MBS made it to number 50. Copenhagen’s Noma takes the top spot again, even after giving 16 people food poisoning last year.
- While we were enjoying our public holiday, millions around the world turned out in full force to mark the International Labour Day. Thankfully, only Turkey and Cambodia saw violence in the streets.
- Looking to land your own prince? Well, we heard that Prince Harry and socialite Cressida Bonas have split up, so better grab this opportunity! And was anyone surprised when Mr. “I-won’t-marry-again” George Clooney announced his engagement to human rights attorney Amal Alamuddin?
- The Sultan of Brunei is taking his oil-rich country back to the Dark Ages by implementing the Sharia Law. The new Islamic penalties will eventually include flogging for adultery and dismemberment for theft.
- Star Wars geeks rejoice! The cast for Star Wars: Episode VII has been announced – the stars of the original saga will be coming back. Honestly, the sight of aging Hans Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker doesn’t sound pretty, so J.J Abrams has a lot of work to do.
- Gwen Stefani will be taking a seat in The Voice’s iconic red chair as mummy-to-be Christina Aguilera goes on maternity leave. Everyone’s fave guys – Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Pharrell Williams – will also be back!
