Happy Salma, happy Mike

Happy Salma, happy Mike

Some Indonesians give their kids the strangest names imaginable.

Like “Happy”.

I mean ain’t “Happy” a name reserved just for dwarfs? Still, it’s a lot better than “Sleepy” I suppose. And “Grumpy” of course.

Anyway, Indonesia’s best-known Happy – and she’s not a dwarf either – must be the sexy sinetron actress Happy Salma.

Recently spotted in Bali with her bule boyfriend who has a more sensible name: Mike. Still one thing’s for sure. And that is that judging from the pictures below he must be very happy too!

But perhaps it would have been more apt for his parents to have named him “Lucky”. Cos bizarre as it might sound, that is another popular name in Indonesia too!

Head to head: Tiara Lestari vs. Julia Perez

Two of Indonesia’s most popular female celebrities must be Tiara Lestari and Julia Perez.

But who would take the honors if they were pitted against each other celebrity death match style?

Well, here’s your chance to choose.

First off though, the lowdown on the two of them:

Tiara Lestari: This simple village lass made “kampong” chic. But now a completely reformed character: international stardom simply wasn’t her calling. Even so, her legacy lives on. Likes leopard clothing. Unmarried. Any takers?

Julia Perez: This unabashed city slicker could eat Tiara for breakfast. Although reluctant to go the whole way as Tiara once did, she still manages to grab the headlines. Also likes leopard clothing. Strangely enough, she’s already married. But quite what her hubbie must be thinking about her exploits is anyone’s guess!



Julia Perez. Not.

The amazing feats of Feby Febiola

Some people like sunbathing.

And many more find it pleasurable to play with themselves.

But both at the same time? And while standing up?!!!

Impossible you shout!

But no it’s not.

Cos this is just one of the incredible tricks of Jakarta’s remarkably talented sinetron actress Feby Febiola.

Nadya Hutagalung: as stunning as ever

JAKARTA: The developer of Senayan City, PT Manggala Gelora Perkasa, announced last week the appointment of celebrity Nadya Hutagalung as its brand ambassador.

The subsidiary of Jakarta's largest developer, Agung Podomoro Group, made the appointment official during the launching of its television commercial on Friday.

The renowned model will represent the property project through a series of television advertisements.

But what the heck’s a “brand ambassador”? Probably a pompous way of describing a sexy ex-model who is expected to strut her stuff in a bid to attract the attention of potential male customers.

I’ve no doubt she’ll be successful though. Especially if she does the advertisements with her clothes off...
