Friends rallied behind Rainie Yang amid claims by Makiyo
Wilbur Pan recently shared a photo of the singer on Instagram Story following reports about Rainie supposedly changing her attitude towards Makiyo after she found fame, and wrote, "In over 20 years, I've never felt like you've ever changed (by fame). We get you."
In addition, Michelle Chen also shared an image of her with Rainie, accompanied by the words, "[Rainie] has been someone who took great care of me even when I was just a complete newcomer. The her I've seen has never changed."
Meanwhile, Charlene Choi recently posted a photo of her watching Rainie's performance on Instagram Story and wrote, "My good friend Rainie Yang, her appearance and personality have not changed in the past 20 years. Good show at the Hong Kong concert!"
The issue sparked after Makiyo shared a story on a podcast that she used to be friends with a female star prior to the latter's fame, but that the unnamed star ignored Makiyo's late mother at an event to greet a veteran Taiwanese star when she became famous.
She later confirmed that the star in her story is Rainie Yang.

Some of S.F.'s most coveted handmade pasta comes from this one-woman operation
Each week, critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan shares some of her favorite recent bites, the dishes and snacks and baked goods that didn't find their way into a full review. Want the list a few days earlier? Sign up for her free newsletter, Bite Curious. I don't get to eat dinner at home too often, and when I do, I'm usually reaching for something low-lift to supplement leftovers. Now in rotation is frozen pasta from Sfoglia Club, the one-woman micro-batch pasta company from Tanaya Joshi. A product designer by day, she folds intricate filled pastas by night and sells them via Hotplate. The drop model will be familiar to any sneakerhead, and her batches of balanzoni and tortelli sell out quickly. I got my hands on a couple boxes of sachetti — Joshi's version kind of look like hamentaschen but with four sides instead of three — stuffed with ricotta, corn and chives. The filling is very delicate; I've been saucing the sachetti ($20 per box) with butter, Calabrian chile and Parmesan so as not to overpower it. I didn't intend for this week's installment to be What I've Been Eating, Corn Edition, but facts are facts: Restaurants are exulting in corn season, and I am happily along for the ride. At Lunette in the Ferry Building, chef Nite Yun stir-fries fresh kernels with coconut milk, chicken schmaltz, dried shrimp and scallions. Yun modestly told me that the wok does all the work — the corn takes on just a touch of char — to which I say, 'Yeah, right.' It's a glorious summer side dish that I can't wait to eat again. Lunette. Ferry Building, 1, Suite 33/47, San Francisco. Over in Emeryville, Good to Eat also has a seasonal sweet corn special. For $14, you get two half-ears of corn, skewered and grilled. The singed cobs are then lacquered with shacha, a Taiwanese barbecue sauce, and coated in sesame seeds. If 'barbecue sauce' conjures up memories of sticky-sweet Kansas City ribs or tangy, vinegary Carolina pulled pork, shacha is something else entirely — savory and briny thanks to dried shellfish.

The Biggest Los Angeles Restaurant Openings in July 2025
Los Angeles is no stranger to restaurant openings, whether splashy openings in iconic buildings helmed by big-name chefs, a humble neighborhood spot, or a pop-up leaping into a permanent space. Consider this monthly rundown a go-to guide for the newest and boldest debuts across the Southland. Mala popcorn chicken from Blue Magpie. Charlene Yang Blue Magpie — Arcadia Blue Magpie, Arcadia's modern restaurant named after the Taiwan's national bird, opened June 11. It's a collaborative effort between chef Leo Lo and local entrepreneur Kevin Tang, who watched the fine dining Taiwanese restaurants in the area diminish over the years. Blue Magpie's weekend brunch menu draws from Taiwanese street food, but leans upscale while reworking traditional Taiwanese dishes with a contemporary twist. The Napa casserole, torched tableside, layers sakura shrimp, dried scallops, and kurobuta pork under bubbling cheese. Blocks away from the Santa Anita Park racetrack, the modern 3,500-square-foot restaurant features chandeliers with nods to the Formosan blue magpie bird throughout the design, with two private dining rooms. Force of Nature founder, Leena Culhane. Ashley Randall Photography Only The Wild Ones and Forces of Nature — Venice Two restaurant veterans opened Venice's newest hotspots inside a charming converted bungalow in late June. Heather Tierney (Butcher's Daughter) opened the doors for her new restaurant and vinyl listening bar, Only the Wild Ones, on the ground floor next door to Abbott Kinney's shuttered spot, Atla. She brought over the chef and culinary team from Butcher's Daughter, Richard Rea, to produce a smart lineup of plant-based dishes to accompany the wine, cocktails, and vinyl played on a hi-fi system. On the second floor is Crudo e Nudo partner Leena Culhane's upstairs speakeasy, Force of Nature. The bar, which doubles as a space for workshops and special events, serves a menu of wine, cocktails, and zero proof options. Most of the dishes from Local Kitchens in Studio City. Wonho Frank Lee Local Kitchens — Studio City Local Kitchens, a Studio City food hall bringing some of the Internet's favorite chefs under one roof, opened on July 2. It's the first of its kind in Southern California and offers quite a lineup with burgers by Alvin Cailan (of Chinatown's Amboy), Vietnamese dishes by Tuệ Nguyen, Mexican fare by cookbook author Rick Martinez, fried chicken by Proposition Chicken, and eastern Mediterranean dishes by Einat Admony. With more than a dozen locations in Northern California and a brief stint in Orange County a few years back, the mini food hall offers the convenience of multiple menus in one venue. Gladstones — Malibu Malibu beachfront restaurant Gladstones partially reopened July 4 for the first time since the January Palisades Fire. Only the outdoor deck reopened on July 4, while the interior remains closed for renovations due to fire damage, and is slated to reopened in early 2026. Gladstone's outdoor deck has an updated look courtesy of architect Stephen Francis Jones and features a new mural from artist Jonas Never. The menu at Gladstones remains the same with favorites like fish tacos, ceviche, lobster rolls, and cocktails. Katsuya Uechi in Century City. Katsuya Katsuya — Century City Okinawa-born chef Katsuya Uechi opened the first Katsuya in Studio City in 1997, joining the long history of California Japanese restaurants that serve the San Fernando Valley. His latest Katsuya is a lounge restaurant that opened on July 25 in Century City's former Rock Sugar with a wide menu of sushi, sashimi, hot appetizers like rock shrimp tempura, and larger mains like miso black cod. Uechi expanded to Brentwood with SBE in 2006, eventually growing to six other locations around the world, including Toronto, Miami, and the Bahamas. Katsuya also opened in Hollywood and L.A. Live (it also operated an outlet in Glendale, but it has since closed). Uechi runs a more independent collection of Japanese restaurants that include the Izakaya by Katsu-ya and Kiwami, but the Century City restaurant will fall under the SBE partnership that leans more into the sleek, high-design Nobu-esque category. Muelle 8. Matthew Kang Muelle 8 — East LA Muelle 8 has reopened in East Los Angeles with a smaller, tighter menu served from a food trailer. The current owner of the Muelle 8 brand in the U.S., Jay Orozco, brought back chef Luis Cortez, the chef who oversaw the opening in Downey in 2023. The menu draws from the most popular hits from the barra fría (raw bar) and barra caliente (hot bar) that were served at the restaurant, including camarones zarandeados and a surf-and-turf taco of grilled cabrería and shrimp with Anaheim chile and melted cheese. The Downey restaurant originally debuted in February 2023, garnering lots of initial praise, including a nod from the Los Angeles Times, for its regional Mexican seafood from Culiacán. Outside Tesla Diner in Hollywood. Matthew Kang Tesla Diner — Hollywood Cafe Tondo in Chinatown. Sean Davidson Cafe Tondo — Chinatown On July 25, the Mexico City-influenced Cafe Tondo opened in the former Oriel under the A Line train tracks in Chinatown. The cafe and bar serves everything from early morning coffee and conchas to afternoon spritzes and salsa after dark. Tondo, which refers to a circular relief or painting in Spanish, comes from a collaboration between first-time restaurateur and Mouthwash Studio co-founder Abraham Campillo; Mouthwash Studio partners Mackenzie Freemire, Alex Tan, and Ben Mingo; Mike Kang of Locale Partners; and chef Valeria Velásquez. The daytime menu, starting August 1, comprises conchas, chilaquiles, coffee, and more, while evening brings Milanesa, steak frites, and wine. Assorted dishes at Men & Beasts restaurants in Echo Park. Tim Sullens Photography Bar 109 — Melrose Hill Brian Baik's elegant cocktail outlet Bar 109 debuted on July 29. The bar resides in the front portion of his forthcoming tasting menu restaurant, Corridor 109, which has been in development for years. The first iteration of Corridor 109 was a pop-up at Kobawoo, which served a collection of Japanese and Korean seafood courses inspired by his New York City experience. Bartender Kayla Garcia oversees the drinks, while Jon Tran is function the general manager. Garcia was most recently at Kumiko, which just won the 2025 James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar and is currently number 10 in the North America 50 Best Bars. At Bar 109, Garcia serves updated versions of classic cocktails alongside creative bar bites.

Real Housewives of Dallas' D'Andra Simmons Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Undergoes 3 Procedures
The Real Housewives of Dallas alum D'Andra Simmons has been diagnosed with breast cancer. 'Today is the day! I didn't think I would be the recipient of care at the UTSW Simmons Cancer Center my uncle Harold Simmons and his Foundation established almost 30 years ago, but now I have breast cancer,' Simmons, 56, captioned an Instagram post on Tuesday, July 29. 'I am truly grateful to have such an excellent care team in place. I'm the 3rd woman on my mother's side of the family to be diagnosed with breast cancer … that we know about.' Before revealing she underwent three separate surgeries on Tuesday, Simmons told fans that she would add 'breast cancer survivor to a long list of life experiences' in her life. 'I look forward to telling my story to inspire others in the future,' Simmons concluded. 'Thank you to everyone that has sent prayers and support to my family and me. We appreciate it so very much and love having your support.' Former 'Real Housewives of Dallas' Stars: Where Are They Now? Simmons subsequently offered several updates throughout the day. 'Today is the day! On the way to the hospital to have my breast cancer surgery. Ready to get phase one over with,' Simmons captioned an Instagram Story image on Tuesday. Her next post was a video that came as Simmons was seated in a 'private waiting room' ahead of the first procedure — seed localization. 'They go in there and they put a marker in my breast where the tumor is. That way, when the surgeon goes in, they'll know exactly where to take the tumor out,' Simmons said, noting that the 'second procedure' will 'light up the lymph nodes so the surgeon knows which ones to take out.' She completed a total of three procedures on Tuesday. Another Instagram Story video revealed that Simmons had her mom, Dee Simmons, by her side ahead of the second procedure. Stars Who Beat Breast Cancer: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Cynthia Nixon and More "Were finding your sentinel lymph nodes,' a medical professional could be heard saying in the background. Simmons added, 'The next phase is the surgery. Told you it's gonna be, kind of, a long day.' Simmons' final Instagram post was a photo as she got ready for surgery — and she appeared to be in high spirits. 'Almost ready to get this surgery started!' she wrote. 'At least my good friend @debbfarrmd is doing my surgery today!' Simmons was a main cast member on RHOD from the show's second season, which aired in 2017, until the Bravo series ended following season 5 in 2021. Solve the daily Crossword
