Britain’s press thrashed out Saturday whether The Sun newspaper had done the right thing by eventually publishing pictures of a naked Prince Harry cavorting with similarly-clad women in Las Vegas.
A friend of Prince Harry who was on his infamous Las Vegas party trip said Saturday the person who leaked naked photos of the British royal was “despicable” and had abused Harry’s hospitality.
A bride-to-be fell to her death while getting her wedding pictures taken, tumbling down from a cliff into a waterfall while she was wearing her wedding dress, police said Friday.
It’s half past eight on a Friday morning and Diamond Hotel’s Corniche is busy. The cast and crew of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” are milling about, filling their plates with breakfast treats, getting ready for yet another long day of rehearsals. We spot Cat Lane, who plays Meg Geri. We think we see Anthony Downing, the show’s Raoul.

My brother and I grew up reading “Pupung.” In the ’80s, the comic strip entertained us for hours—we thought Lolo Dom and Day were hilarious. Since Tonton Young’s comic strip first debuted in 1986, Pupung and the crazy cast of characters became a part of our childhood. Even now, over two decades and 11 The Best of Pupung books later, thinking about them brings a smile to our faces.
