SINGAPORE: It’s been a good week for Singapore in Hollywood, with homegrown actor Chin Han and Singapore-based actor/host Henry Golding landing roles in upcoming high profile films.  
​
Singaporean Chin Han will be starring alongside Dwayne Johnson and Neve Campbell in Legendary’s upcoming 3D action-thriller Skyscraper.

The movie, which stars Johnson as a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and US war veteran who now assesses security for skyscrapers, will also see the former WWE wrestler serve as producer. 

Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber - best known for box office hit Central Intelligence - the film follows the story of Johnson’s character who is framed and on the run after he discovers the tallest, safest building in the world on fire while on assignment in Hong Kong.  

There are no details on what role Chin Han will play. The movie is scheduled to be released July next year.

It’s been a consistent upward trajectory for the actor, who has appeared in Hollywood blockbusters like The Dark Knight, 2012, Contagion and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. More recently he starred in Independence Day: Resurgenceandsci-fi actioner Ghost In The Shell.

New to the Tinseltown game, but also on the road to bigger things, is Singapore-based actor-host Henry Golding.

Almost immediately after wrapping up his feature film debut as lead character Nick in Jon M Chu’s Crazy Rich Asians, Golding has now landed a role in the thriller A Simple Favor opposite Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.

Golding, whose father is from England and mother from Sarawak, Malaysia, will be playing Lively’s husband in the film, which is about a blogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend’s sudden disappearance. The suspense whodunit is said to be in the vein of Gillian Flynn’s 2012 novel Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins’ 2015 debut The Girl on the Train.

Caitlyn Jenner is speaking out hours after President Donald Trump announced a military ban on transgender people.

In a blog post on her personal website, theI Am Cait star expressed her disapproval on the decision that remains a hot topic amongst Americans.

"Studies estimate there are as many as 15,000 transgender people already serving this country—and for those brave people fighting for our nation, Trump's early morning tweets must be devastating. I believe every American should be outraged by the disrespect shown to those people wearing our country's uniform," Caitlyn shared online. "Furthermore, this half-baked idea puts all of our service members in harm's way."
​
She continued, "Does President Trump intend to just pull 15,000 people out of every critical position to which they are currently assigned? That would disrupt core military missions around the world and needlessly endanger our troops."

As Beliebers already know, the 23-year-old singer abruptly cancelled his "Purpose" world tour yesterday, shocking fans who were still excited to catch one of Bieber's final 14 shows. The surprising cancellation news had many wondering if Bieber was headed in a bad direction or if he just needs some rest and relaxation.

Even Bieber's manager Scooter Braun even spoke out to fans, writing on social media, "We are sorry...But a man's soul and well being I truly care about came first and we must all respect and honor that."
So what is Justin saying about the whole thing?

Mark your calendars, moviegoers. This film is one you are going to want to experience. Less than two months after Wonder Woman started exceeding expectations at the box office, Warner Bros. has some major news to share.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gal Gadot will return for the sequel as Diana of Themyscira.

As for when we can experience this film on the big screen, a release date has been announced for December 13, 2019.
​
The publication reports that talks with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins to return are ongoing. In other words, that part of the project isn't official just yet.

John Mayer doesn't just understand Justin Bieber—he beliebes.
​
Earlier today, fans were shocked to learn that the "Baby" singer was canceling the remaining dates of his Purpose World Tour.

There were 14 remaining concert dates on the calendar including stadium shows in Los Angeles, Texas, New Jersey and Colorado.

While some fans who purchased tickets were more than disappointed with the news, John decided to stand up for the artist on social media.

"When someone pulls remaining dates of a tour, it means they would have done real damage to themselves if they kept going," John shared with his followers. "We've lost so many great artists lately. I give Justin [thumbs up] for realizing it was time to call it. You should too."

So what made Justin cancel his remaining shows that appeared to be selling without any problems?

A rep for the tour gave a statement to E! News that read, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber will cancel the remainder of the Purpose World Tour concerts. Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them. He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over last 18 months."

The statement continued, "He is grateful and honored to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across 6 continents during this run. However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase."

In between tour stops, Justin has been trying to lay low in and out of Southern California.

Over the weekend, the man behind "Beauty and a Beat" and "One Less Lonely Girl" was spotted enjoying a hike with model Audreyana Michelle.

And just last week, Justin made a surprise—and solo—trip to Children's Hospital of Orange County where he met with more than a few deserving patients.

As of today, there is no word if Justin plans to reschedule his concert tour dates.
