Nicole Scherzinger too busy to marry
Nicole Scherzinger is too busy to get married.
The 46-year-old singer has been engaged to Thom Evans for two years but she has been too dedicated to her "dream role" in Sunset Boulevard in London's West End and then New York's Broadway to do any wedding planning.
Asked about her wedding plans, she told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Oh, there's no wedding planning, honey. When you do Broadway, it's only Broadway. You eat, sleep – you don't sleep much – and breathe Broadway.
"Thank God I have a very understanding and wonderful and the most supportive fiancé."
And even after her current run on Broadway comes to an end, Nicole admitted she will be looking for another stage show.
She said: "I still want to do more. This moment has made me dream again. Growing up as a Filipino girl, I always loved Miss Saigon. I would love to be a part of that show. Aurora in Kiss of the Spider Woman is another dream role. Another is to maybe create my own musical."
The former Pussycat Dolls singer also has her eye out for a "bold and daring" role on the big screen.
She said: "I'd love some really bold and daring film roles.
"I'd love to do a movie musical – maybe Sunset Boulevard as a movie. More than anything, I want to keep on doing stuff that shows all of me."
The Poison hitmaker admitted last summer she would need to "make time" in order to start a family with Thom.
She told The Times newspaper: "Oh my gosh, I would love to [have a baby]. I've never shied away from that. I can't wait. It's like the clock is ticking.
"I want to have a baby but work calls. But I'm going to have to make time because, yes, I cannot wait to have children."
When asked if her mom is pushing her to get on with starting a family, she replied: "No, because my mother knows how hard I work and how passionate I am about what I do. She is a faithful woman and she just knows, everything in God's timing."
Thom previously declared proposing to Nicole was the 'best day' of his life and he 'can't wait' to get married and start a family with the singer.
He told Men's Health magazine: 'I'm looking to get married soon. I proposed to my fiancée in June 2023. It was one of the best days of my life. Getting married to her and starting a family is something I can't wait for."

'Let's Get Loud' Jennifer Lopez new music Advertisement On Feb. 16, 2024, Lopez dropped her ninth studio album 'This Is Me…Now,' the follow up to 2002's 'This Is Me…Then.' The original record was dedicated to her new beau Affleck and how he inspired her. Sadly, their whirlwind relationship — which inspired the now infamous portmanteau 'Bennifer' — ended in 2004. 20 years later, the pair reunited and Lopez was inspired again to write about the rekindled romance (which, unfortunately, has since fizzled). Made up of 13 tracks, 'This Is Me…Now' is like a time machine to the mid-2000s; radio friendly Hip-Hop beats with J. Lo's unmistakable syrupy vocals giving them life. Advertisement 'Mad In Love,' the bouncy third track is a standout; we also dug the flirty, playful 'Can't Get Enough' and stripped-down 'Broken Like Me.' 'Hearts and Flowers' is the true MVP, though. Its equal parts cinematic, jaunty and urgent; surely, this track deserves repeat play. Want to listen? You can check out 'This Is Me…Now' here.

Rick Hurst, Cletus Hogg on ‘The Dukes of Hazzard,' Dies at 79
Rick Hurst, who portrayed the friendly but bumbling deputy sheriff Cletus Hogg on the comedy series 'The Dukes of Hazzard,' died at his home in Los Angeles on Thursday. He was 79.

Mr. Hurst had been scheduled to appear at a meet-and-greet on July 3 at the Cooter's Place in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., a shop and museum dedicated to the TV show run by Ms. Viator and Mr. Jones, but Mr. Hurst had canceled because he was not feeling well. Ms. Viator said in a phone interview on Friday that Mr. Hurst's death was 'shocking to all of us, even though we knew he wasn't feeling well.'

The show ran for seven seasons on CBS. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Yes, You Should Make Your Own Shaved Ice at Home This Summer
Every year I look forward to shaved ice season (which, if I'm being honest, is almost year round in Los Angeles). In my household, I grew up having Thai shaved ice, or wan yen, whenever the days got too hot. The crunchy ice was topped with Hale's Blue Boy syrup (the sala or snake fruit flavor is my favorite), condensed milk, green strands of pandan jelly, and a mixture of canned toddy palm seeds and grass jelly. It feels like every culture has their own take on the dish: there's fluffy Korean bingsoo topped with fresh fruit, Japanese kakigori paired with sweet red beans, Filipino halo-halo that doubles as a shaved ice dish and ice cream sundae, and Mexican raspados showered with Tajín — to name a few. And not only is the frozen treat universal, it can also be easily made and customized at home. Here's how to do it. When it comes to making shaved ice at home, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you use a manual shaver or an electric one. 'I like everything manual in the restaurant because it corresponds to the ethos of what we do,' says Junya Yamasaki, the chef behind Yess restaurant in Los Angeles. Yamasaki serves two different types of kakigori for dessert made using an industrial, crank-powered shaver. 'I even drive a manual car,' he laughs, 'but [for ice shavers] I don't think there's a difference.' At Wailua Shave Ice, which has locations in Portland, Oregon, and on Kauai, an electric shaver is necessary for crowds. 'We started with a hand-crank,' explains co-founder Cory Arashiro, 'but even with our electric ones I can barely keep up.' However, Arashiro acknowledges that if you're making shaved ice at home — and not in a rush to fulfill demand — either version works. 'I would say, just make sure that your ice is shaved finely,' she says. 'To get our type of texture, you'd want to shave it finely, not mash it or grate it.' The electric shaver will ultimately be faster in prepping your ice, but it's hard to deny the charm of a crank version, too. Yamasaki imports ice from Japan for the kakigori at Yess, something he acknowledges is a bit ironic because the rest of the menu at the restaurant focuses on local ingredients. 'We use premium ice from our Japanese supplier,' he explains. Although you may not want to go that fancy of a route, Yamasaki recommends sourcing special ice from commercially available cocktail ice — just look for ice that is crystal clear. At Lumi Dessert Cafe, which has two locations in Washington state, shaved ice is made with a proprietary frozen flavored milk blend. 'We pour [the liquid base] into our machine and it freezes on the barrel,' says Nessa Choi, the manager at Lumi's Redmond location. 'I think you can replicate the same effect at home as long as you have a good mixture for the base.' For Choi, it's important to not just use regular ice from a cube tray if you want your shaved ice to last longer rather than melt right away. 'If you use regular ice, it melts very fast and doesn't hold toppings very well,' Choi explains. Instead, try freezing water or a sweetened milk mixture in quart containers and shave them through whatever type of shaved ice machine you have. You can sweeten the milk mixture with condensed milk or honey, or flavor it with ingredients like tea, cocoa powder, fresh or frozen fruit, and extract. 'Toppings are the fun part,' Yamasaki says. 'At home, you can just go crazy.' At Yess, Yamasaki serves one kakigori that feels very traditionally Japanese. There are fresh and macerated strawberries, chewy mochi balls, and a glaze of condensed milk. His other kakigori is more experimental, with dates, an Irish coffee syrup, and whipped cream — perfect for someone interested in both dessert and coffee after dinner. At Wailua, the shaved ice syrups are made with fresh fruit juice and cane sugar. Their signature topping, however, is the haupia foam — a whipped coconut milk topping. 'What we really grew up with is snowcap, which is condensed milk,' Arashiro says. 'From there, just run with it.' Other traditional Hawaiian toppings include coconut flakes, mochi, and li hing mui, or pickled plum powder. At Wailua, you can also add sweets like Oreos, a Nutella drizzle, and marshmallows. For homemade shaved ice, Choi always recommends fresh fruit — but if you don't have access to fruit, jams would work well too. 'You can also do a caramel version with caramel sauce, crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies, and bananas,' she says. Really, the ice becomes a vehicle for the toppings, so anything can go. 'Just don't get carried away; be cohesive,' Arashiro says. 'The best part is at the end, when you smush everything down and get to drink it.'
