Taiwanese Star Show Lo On Mum's Alzheimer's Battle: 'Every Day Feels Like A New Day'
Back in March, Taiwan's 'King Of Dance' revealed his 66-year-old mum has been battling Alzheimer's disease for the past few years. Show said he didn't want to share his mother's diagnosis but decided to do so after receiving questions from close friends about his mother. He explained that people were confused because his mother would repeat topics when others spoke to her for more than 5 minutes.
Show also recently appeared at an event for an upcoming movie, where he talked about his mother's condition for the first time. He said his mother is doing fine and shared a recent anecdote. The 45-year-old said his mother recently mentioned wanting to dye her hair black, so he quickly arranged an appointment with the hairdresser. However, the next day, his mother was surprised to see her new hairstyle, asking, 'Why did my hair turn black?'.
Thankfully, Show's mother is optimistic and isn't too bothered by the new hair colour. Instead, she happily said she felt younger after dyeing her hair. The Mandopop star admitted that it's a challenge to care for someone with Alzheimer's, but found small joy in the process. He said, 'I find my mother very cute now. She has fewer worries, and every day feels like a new day.'
Show was also asked about his plans for the upcoming Mother's Day, to which he responded, 'Just like everyone else, I will spend it with my mother'. After revealing his mother's Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, Show shared that the pair went on vacation to Hawaii. The trip helped trigger some emotions in his mother, as Hawaii was the last place he had travelled to with his parents before his father's passing in 2005.
It's clear to see how much Show cares for his mother, and we wish his mother all the best in her health. In the meantime, here's a look at their trip to Hawaii:

#SHOWBIZ: Amy of Search issues letter of demand to Shila Amzah
KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyers for Datuk Amy of Search have sent a letter of demand to singer Shila Amzah, following the recent viral controversy involving the two artistes. Amy's lawyer, Datuk M Reza Hassan, confirmed the notice had been issued but did not share any further details. "We just sent a letter of demand, but they (Shila's lawyers) have asked for time to get further instructions from Shila. I can't share anything more for now. We'll see how it goes," M Reza told HM Online. The dispute began after Shila, 35, whose real name is Nurshahila Amir Amzah, filed a police report on July 10. The 'Patah Seribu' singer claimed a legendary singer had verbally attacked her at a recent event they both attended. Shila later confirmed the individual was Amy, who is also the father of actress Nabila Huda. Initial police investigations revealed the tension was caused by Amy's dissatisfaction with Shila's alleged interference in his family's affairs. Both parties have since had their statements taken by the police. Following this, Amy filed a counter-report at the Shah Alam District Police Headquarters on July 16, which was also confirmed by M Reza. Adding to the speculation, Amy was recently seen deleting all of his posts on Instagram, leading to questions about his actions and current situation.

Are Florence Pugh and Finn Cole secretly engaged?
They are the kind of couple that hides in plain sight. Walking hand-in-hand behind festival crowds, exchanging warm Instagram comments and exiting red carpets through the back door. Florence Pugh, the Oscar-nominated darling of Hollywood and Finn Cole, the British actor best known for his role in Peaky Blinders, may have quietly fallen in love. And if recent reports are true, they may be taking the next big step together. August has just begun, and the rumour mill is spinning again over their alleged romance. According to one insider, Cole and Pugh have been in a bubble, getting to know each other away from the spotlight. Florence Pugh and Finn Cole are rumoured to be engaged. Photo: X As for a ring? None has been spotted and neither party has commented. But they continue to support each other's work publicly and it seems, love quietly. Back in September 2024, they were seen hand-in-hand at The Perfect Couple premiere after-party at The Hoxton hotel in East London. Even celebrity gossip accounts reported sightings of the couple all over London during that time. But perhaps the most telling moment came when Pugh confirmed to British Vogue in the same month: 'Yes. We are figuring out what we actually are. And I think for the first time, I am not allowing myself to go on a roller coaster. I am allowing myself to take time to let something evolve and let it be completely real to its core, as opposed to racing into that,' she said. While she did not name names, the timing was hard to ignore. She went on to describe falling in love as 'the most amazing feeling,' but warned that 'unfortunately if that is the only thing that you know in a relationship, then that is the thing that you chase. That is not gonna last.' Florence Pugh and Finn Cole are rumoured to be engaged. Photo: X In June 2024, the pair were spotted together at Glastonbury Festival, and by July, Pugh had commented excitedly on Cole's casting announcement, joking, 'Granny Pat wants to come. #obvi.' Though neither Pugh nor Cole has confirmed their relationship, the evidence has been building quietly over the past year. What began as a long-standing friendship appears to have turned into something far more serious. Their connection goes back to at least 2017. Over the years, Pugh has consistently liked Cole's Instagram posts, with her interactions becoming more frequent and affectionate in recent months. While Pugh's rise has been swift — from indie darling in Lady Macbeth to Marvel star in Black Widow and Thunderbolts — Cole's career has also been a steady climb. Born in Kingston, London, on Nov 9, 1995, Cole got his start with a background role in Offender (2012), which starred his older brother Joe Cole. Joe would go on to play John Shelby in the acclaimed BBC series Peaky Blinders, a gritty crime drama where Finn would eventually find his breakout role as Michael Gray, John's cousin and the ambitious son of Polly Gray. While his brother exited the series in 2017, Finn remained until its conclusion in 2022. His portrayal of Michael, who began as the family's legal brain before spiraling into a more ruthless figure, gave him a lasting mark in British television. From there, he expanded into international roles, starring in the American crime series Animal Kingdom (2016–2022), Dreamland (2019) and even appearing in F9 (2021) of the Fast and Furious franchise. Cole has largely kept his personal life private, giving few interviews and seldom appearing on the tabloid radar. As both actors continue to take on high-profile projects — with Cole recently appearing at the Thunderbolts premiere in support of Pugh — the intrigue around their relationship continues to grow. And while fans may keep watching for rings or red carpet appearances, perhaps what is most admirable is that the two seem content building their story far away from the spotlight, one quiet moment at a time.
