Sarimah Ibrahim denies demand for hefty pay for TV dramas
The 47-year-old actress recently stated that people should be asking her, instead of speculating on something she never said.
"I hope people can get to know me and ask me first before making their own speculation. I am still a working artiste... Because of my status, people think that I charge a hefty fee of RM10,000 per episode. This is false and they never asked me themselves," she said.
Sarimah, who is married to Negeri Sembilan royalty, Tunku Nadzimuddin Tunku Mudzaffar, said that she never asked for a large sum when it comes to her work.
"Maybe there are people who asked that on behalf of me, but I never asked that much," she said.
The actress was last seen on TV playing the lead in the drama, "Ternyata Sebuah Bahagia".

Che Revels in the Rockstar Life on 'REST IN BASS'
Summary As today's age of underground rappers continues to find (and champion) its collective footing in the grand scheme of contemporary hip-hop,Chehas cemented himself as one of the leading torchbearers of the new guard. With his sophomore albumREST IN BASSout now, the 18-year-old Atlanta rapper has, in total, racked up two studio albums, three extended plays, a mixtape, and, of course, a handful of high-octane and even higher-decibel bass-banging singles;REST IN BASSis a proper reckoning of the rising star's sky-high capabilities and the possibilities that lie at the crux of his full potential as a pioneering voice in the underground space. An anthemic ode to Che's current rockstar life,REST IN BASSarrives after months of speculation surrounding its release. After all, Che's on no one's time but his own. Ultimately defined by its blown-out beats and braggadocious lyrics,REST IN BASSis the epitome of rage-rap in the post-SoundCloud era. It's equal parts hedonistic and chaotic, with hidden lines of introspection that are quickly buried by repetitive bars of Che reminding us who he is: 'I feel it in my chest, I'm the best,' 'I'm like Macho Man Randy Savage,' and 'I'm a hellraiser' included. While primarily a solo effort, Che does enlist the likes of fellow underground iconsxaviersobased,Chuckyy, and, as the album's most anticipated feature,OsamaSonon standout track 'HELLRAISER.' 1.

The live game show was held on July 13 at Martha's Vineyard, where the Steven Spielberg movie was filmed over a 5 ½ month period in 1974. This year, Martha's Vineyard is hosting a series of events in honor of the film's theatrical release on June 20, 1975. David Ouellette was part of the game show, dubbed the Massachusetts State Lottery's '$1,000,000 Jaws Game Show,' and took home the game's $1 million top prize before taxes, the Massachusetts State Lottery said in a news release.

Two of the contestants selected tiles, revealing they were moving forward to the second round, while one contestant would win the top prize of $1 million and the other would receive a $10,000 prize. In the second round, Ouellette and another contestant took turns selecting tiles until Ouellette made his final decision. The first to choose five '$1,000,000' tiles to win it all. 'Number five!' Ouellette yelled in a video captured that day, waiting to see if the tile he chose would bring him victory. As he and onlookers waited in anticipation inside the theater, suspenseful music blared throughout. 'Thank you all,' he said. 'The lottery is great!' Another contestant, Joe Candido of Quincy, about 9 miles southeast of Boston, won the $10,000 prize. The rest of the contestants took home prizes including $500, $1,000, $2,000, and $5,000.

'It hasn't hit us yet,' the couple said.
