Emporio Armani's New Man
Giorgio Armani has just announced that leading Asian actor Takeshi Kaneshiro will be the first Asian male face to appear in an advertising campaign for Emporio Armani in the Fall 2008 men’s collection. A well recognised face throughout Asia, Takeshi’s signing as the new testimonial for Emporio Armani corresponds with the brand’s growing development in the China market, which will celebrate the opening of 13 new Emporio Armani stores around the country within 2008.
Takeshi joins David Beckham who is the official testimonial for Emporio Armani Underwear and KaKa, the testimonial for Emporio Armani Menswear in Europe and the Americas. Takeshi will appear in a special advertising campaign for the Emporio Armani Fall 2008, which will be rolled out in Hongkong, China and Taiwan in leading fashion and lifestyle magazines and on signature billboards.
The union between Giorgio Armani and the film industry is well documented. It all started with the wardrobe he created for Richard Gere in American Gigolo in 1980. Over the years Giorgio Armani has continued to show his passion for motion picture. Giorgio Armani began his support of Asian cinema in 2006 with the costume design for a Chinese language motion picture Confession of Pain, starring Takeshi.
Takeshi has appeared in over 30 films including many landmarks of Asian cinema, among them Wong Kar-Wai’s Chungking Express in 1994. Of Chinese and Japanese descent, Takeshi’s filmography is not limited to Chinese language productions including House of Flying Daggers, Perhaps Love in 2006, The Warlords in 2007 and this year’s Red Cliff but also Japanese films including Returner in 2002.
Giorgio Armani said, "I am excited to collaborate with Takeshi on this new advertising campaign. He is a film and style icon in Asia where his fame transcends cultures both East and West. His sense of effortless style is very contemporary and sophisticated and together with his good look makes him the ideal testimonial for Emporio Armani."
Takeshi expressed his own excitement about the appointment saying, "I have always been a great admirer of Giorgio Armani, not only for his remarkable accomplishment as a master of style but I very much respect his enduring support of the film industry. As an actor myself, I am really delighted to be working with him and very honoured to be the testimonial for Emporio Armani."

Silky for Who?
Asmawi Ani, or more fondly known as Mawi, the winner of Astro's Akademi Fantasia 3, has joined the Silky family as the new spokesman for Silky for Men.
He will be working hand-in-hand with talented young actress Sharifah Amani who takes the helm as ambassadress of the Silkygirl fragrance collection.
This congenial 24-year-old lad, who hails from Johor, grew up in the humble environment of Felda Taib Andak, Kulai. He shot to instant fame during the three-month stint at the Astro's talent-search programme.
His experience as a religious teacher and his honest-to-goodness nature appeal to audiences and Malay folk of all ages who are drawn to him.
Within two days of the release of his debut album, Mawi ... Yang Tercinta, more than 85,000 copies were snapped up.
To date, he has at least five awards to his name. At the Anugerah Bintang Popular 2005, Mawi bagged three awards: most popular celebrity, most popular breakthrough, and most popular male singer. He won the best performance award at the Anugerah Juara Lagu 2005 and most popular Malaysian artiste at the MTV Asia Music Awards 2006.
Mawi's vocal talent and charismatic presence make him the perfect fit for Silky for Men fragrances, which comprises two variants - Fantasia and Inspiration.
Fantasia, the star fragrance of Silky for Men, is inspired by Mawi. Fantasia exudes the characteristics of the man who enjoys freedom, is comfortable with himself and at ease with his world.
This refreshing scent opens with a fresh burst of basil, lavender and bergamot, intensified with clary sage and juniperberries, resting on a base of sweet musky, woody and ambery undertone.
Inspiration epitomises the mysteriously classic, masculine man.
This classic fougere fragrance unfolds with a blend of bergamot, galbanum, ozonic and lavendin, enriched with a touch of muguet, geranium and jasmine.
Inspiration soothes out on a musky, ambery and vanillic sandalwood base.
Scents of Amani
On the feminine side, we have Sharifah Amani. Understanding that most of her female supporters look to her as a role model, Amani brings herself closer to them by sharing her 'confidence booster' - Silkygirl fragrances.
SweetHeart, Amani's preferred fragrance, is a sparkling floral blend that addresses the young, confident and independent women of today.
It is a mosaic of citrus freshness inlayed with oriental floral bouquet, followed by highlights of sweet woody and musky notes.
Loving You is dedicated to the young and spirited. This exhilaratingly fresh scent sparkles with a feast of floral fruity apple at the top.
A sophisticated blend of exotic flowers sizzles through the middle, warmed by a musky woody and ambery undertone.
The range of Silky for Men fragrances retails at RM19.90 for 100ml while the range of Silkygirl fragrances retails at RM18.90 for 50ml.
The fragrances are available at major pharmacies, personal care stores and departmental stores nationwide.

RM1 Million Bungalow For Wife...
MEWAH: Kediaman dua tingkat yang dilatari pemandangan indah dengan kehijauan pepohon di sebuah kawasan eksklusif turut menjalani proses pengubahsuaian.
SEANDAINYA ditanya kepada Raja Sistem Pesanan Ringkas (SMS), cuma jawapan ringkas mampu diberikan penyanyi bernama Mawi ini mengenai kediaman barunya yang dikatakan bernilai jutaan ringgit. “Iya memang saya ada membeli rumah sebagai aset masa depan. Mana ada sampai RM1 juta, ada-ada saja,” kata Mawi berseloroh yang agak keberatan untuk bercerita panjang mengenai banglo bernilai lebih RM1 juta itu ketika ditemui pada majlis minum petang yang diadakan di PNB Darby Park, baru-baru ini. Banglo mewah yang terletak di pinggir kota raya itu difahamkan dibeli penyanyi yang terkenal dengan lagu Aduh Saliha itu daripada orang perseorangan selepas diperkenalkan oleh temannya. Hip difahamkan kediaman dua tingkat yang dilatari pemandangan indah dengan kehijauan pepohon di sebuah kawasan eksklusif turut menjalani proses pengubahsuaian untuk keselesaan penghuninya. Ketika ini, Mawi yang sedang menjalani penggambaran untuk filem keduanya, Jin Notti menyewa di sebuah kondominium di Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur. Sumber memberitahu Hip, Mawi baru-baru ini turut mengadakan majlis tahlil dan kesyukuran walaupun belum menetap secara rasmi di kediaman barunya itu. Melewati kejayaan selepas menjuarai pertandingan realiti, Akademi Fantasia musim ketiga, tiga tahun lalu mengubah sepenuhnya hidup pemuda kelahiran Felda Taib Andak, Kulai, Johor itu. Bagaikan mengharungi sebuah kisah fantasi yang dipenuhi warna indah, perjalanan hidup Mawi berubah sekelip mata apabila tuah berpihak kepadanya sebaik menjulang trofi juara AF3. Rentetan kisah hidup Mawi yang umpama menyelak helaian novel yang sarat plot serta sukar untuk ditebak pengakhirannya membuatkan apa saja yang dilakukan pemuda berusia 29 tahun itu menjadi perhatian. Sebaik berita mengenai banglo bernilai RM1 juta itu disebarkan, seakan mengesahkan khabar yang hangat bertiup dan diperdebatkan pihak media. Sejak mengakui menjalin hubungan istimewa dengan pelakon, Nora’ashikin Rahmat atau Ikin pada 30 Mac lalu, ramai pihak menantikan perkembangan terkini merpati dua sejoli itu. Pembelian banglo itu juga dikaitkan sebagai persediaan untuk dirinya dan isteri tercinta beristirahat. Mawi yang popular dengan lagu Terharu, bagaimanapun, dalam keadaan tersipu cuba menyembunyikan perkara itu. “Semuanya masih baru dan tidak perlulah saya ulas panjang. Tunggu saja masanya nanti. Apabila tiba masa yang tepat, saya akan umumkan kepada semua pihak. “Bimbang juga kalau bercerita panjang, nanti dikata orang menunjuk-nunjuk pula. Bersabarlah kerana perkara yang baik ini tidak akan saya sembunyikan,” janjinya. Memohon pengertian semua pihak supaya memberikannya sedikit ruang untuk menentukan masa depannya, Mawi juga berharap segala spekulasi mengenai tarikh pernikahannya tidak lagi diperdebatkan.
Cerita baru mengenai Mawi:
KINI sibuk di lokasi penggambaran filem terbitan KRU Film, Jin Notti yang menggandingkannya dengan penyampai radio Hot FM, Fara Fauzana. Biarpun produksi filem sulung lakonannya, Aduh Saliha masih belum tamat, Mawi tidak serik untuk mencuba. MEMBAWAKAN watak komedi sebagai Ajis, pemuda kampung yang berprinsip dan mementingkan kesempurnaan. BARU pulang dari Mesir dan Jordan menjayakan rakaman Mawi Di Bumi Anbia. Banyak tempat menarik dilawatinya di sana . Apa yang membuatkan Mawi terpegun apabila dia berkesempatan melawat makam anbia seperti Nabi Daniel, Luth dan Harun. ANTARA detik terindah dan tidak mampu dilupakannya apabila berpeluang menatap dengan mata sendiri satu daripada tujuh keajaiban dunia iaitu piramid. Kawasan sekitarnya bagi Mawi terlalu cantik. SATU lagi kenangan yang tidak mungkin dilupakan apabila berpeluang mengalunkan azan di Masjid Hassan di Mesir tanpa menggunakan alat pembesar suara. Lebih membuatkan Mawi terharu apabila laungan azan itu dapat didengari di seluruh kawasan berkenaan.

Wan Nor Azlin
PETALING JAYA: Artis terkenal, Wan Nor Azlin Wan Mohd Husain, 39, mungkin sudah memegang pelbagai watak dalam drama sejak menjadi pelakon.Malah, dia pernah memenangi Anugerah Seri Angkasa bagi Pelakon Televisyen Terbaik untuk drama Takbir Untuk Abdah pada 2001. Bagaimanapun, pelakon itu yang pernah menggemparkan negara beberapa tahun lalu kini berhadapan dengan drama yang bukan direka penulis skrip, tetapi buatan suami yang didakwanya berhutang dengan along.
Selepas suaminya menghilangkan diri beberapa bulan lalu, Wan Nor Azlin dan tiga anaknya mendakwa kini hidup dalam ketakutan Kumpulan along berang kerana gagal menemui suami pelakon berkenaan yang dipercayai tidak melunaskan pinjaman. Wan Nor Azlin mendakwa diganggu along sejak kebelakangan ini, termasuk rumahnya ditampal poster yang memaparkan salinan kad pengenalan suami serta tertera ayat ‘Jika awak tak bagi wang awak ialah babi’. Mereka turut menyimbah rumah artis terbabit dengan cat pelbagai warna di Kota Damansara di sini, petang semalam. Sebaik laporan polis dibuat Wan Nor Azlin berkaitan kejadian itu di Balai Polis Kota Damansara, rumahnya diserbu puluhan wartawan media cetak dan elektronik jam 9 malam tadi. Sebagai seorang pelakon, ternyata Wan Nor Azlin tidak terkejut dengan kehadiran wartawan seramai itu, malah menjangka mereka dapat menghidu kejadian itu. Menceritakan kejadian itu, pelakon berkenaan berkata, dia menyedari rumah yang didiami bersama tiga anak disimbah cat sejurus pulang kira-kira jam 8 malam. “Sebaik tiba di depan rumah, saya terkejut melihat limpahan cat pelbagai warna di halaman. Dinding rumah dan kereta yang diletakkan di depan rumah turut terkena cat,” katanya. Wan Nor Azlin berkata, kejadian seperti itu bukan pertama kali berlaku di kediamannya. Menurutnya, beberapa bulan lalu, dua lelaki pernah membuat bising dan menjerit memanggil nama suaminya di depan rumah. “Mereka turut menampal poster tertera nama suami di sekitar kawasan rumah dan jalan berhampiran. “Suami sering menghilangkan diri dan pernah tidak pulang ke rumah selama dua tahun,” katanya yang meminta suaminya pulang dan bertanggungjawab terhadap apa yang berlaku. Dia pernah membuat laporan di Balai Polis Kota Damansara pada 18 Julai lalu berhubung kehilangan suaminya. Bimbang kumpulan along bertindak lebih ganas pada masa depan, dia sekali lagi membuat laporan polis malam tadi. Sementara itu, jurucakap syarikat kawalan keselamatan taman perumahan berkenaan, berkata pihaknya sedang mengenal pasti beberapa individu yang masuk ketika kejadian. “Biasanya, pelawat yang mahu memasuki kawasan taman ini diperiksa terlebih dulu. “Kami mengenal pasti dua lelaki yang disyaki dan kes berkenaan dirujuk kepada polis untuk tindakan lanjut,” katanya.
