Glenn Fredly to perform in Brunei

JAKARTA: One of Indonesia's best pop singers, Glenn Fredly, is
scheduled to perform in Brunei Darussalam from Dec. 16 through
Dec 18, on top his busy schedule singing for Indonesian fans.

His official website, www.glennfredly.com, reveals that he has
15 concerts in December, three in Brunei and the rest in a
variety of cities in Indonesia like Bandung, Padang, Batam and
Pontianak.

Glenn was among the list of international singers like Richard
Marx, LeAnn Rimes, Chaka Khan and Mick Hucknall, who did a duet
with saxophone player Kenny G, who just released his album, At
Last The Duets Album, earlier this year.

Glenn, popular for his melancholic love songs like Januari and
Kisah Romantis, also composed his own songs.

Known to have a consistently good voice, both in the studio
and in live performance, critics said that Glenn may even have
outshone Latino singer Enrique Iglesias at a Jakarta gig in April
last year. -- JP

Love much easier in the movies: Keaton

NEW YORK: Diane Keaton dated many of her leading men off screen,
but she says she prefers to fall in love on screen.

"You know where it's going, and you can just enjoy it for what
it is," Keaton tells Time magazine. "Real life is complicated.

Onscreen you know what the lines are. Everybody's doing what
they're supposed to do. He's not gonna surprise you."

The 59-year-old actress credits her listening skills in making
relationships with Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty work.
"I was a good listener. But then that wears off. They get bored,"
she says.

Keaton plays a mother in the upcoming The Family Stone, about
a Manhattan career woman (Sarah Jessica Parker) who gets a cold
reception from her fiance's family.

She's not surprised by the lack of sexy roles for women over
50 despite the success of Something's Gotta Give, for which she
was nominated for an Oscar.

"It requires somebody who's a good writer who wants to write
about that subject," she says. "Who is gonna do that? George
Lucas? I don't think so. I'd have to be an alien, a sexy, older
alien."

Lee legacy looms large on 65th birthday

HONG KONG: Both Bosnia and Hong Kong, his hometown, unveiled
statues of Bruce Lee to mark the 65th birthday on Sunday of the
late movie star credited with introducing kung fu to the world.

Strong winds blew off a cloth covering a bronze likeness of a
muscular Lee, torso bared, set in a harborside perch against Hong
Kong's stunning skyline, as Lee's trademark howl was played over
an audio system and white smoke was released.

Fans from as far away as Africa, Britain and Jamaica attended
Sunday's unveiling ceremony in Hong Kong.

On Saturday, another Lee statue (shown in photo) was
inaugurated in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, a war-ravaged city
where Lee has been held up as a symbol of unity for Roman
Catholic Croats and Muslim Bosniaks, traditionally enemies.

Addressing the crowd at the Hong Kong unveiling late on
Sunday, Lee's younger brother, Robert, said, "I think he really
deserves this."

Lee soared to stardom in the early 1970s with an intense
fighting style and by portraying characters that defended the
Chinese and working class against oppressors.

He died of an edema, or swelling of the brain, at age 32 in
1973 in Hong Kong, with just four completed movies under his
belt.

The Hong Kong Tourism Board is promoting "Bruce Lee Festival,"
a weeklong program of movie showings and Lee site visits
following the statue's inauguration.
