24 Mar - It seems Lesley Chiang is taking her career international just three months after leaving TVB! The actress and singer-songwriter has officially signed with Los Angeles-based talent agency Prestigious Powerhouse.

The news was announced by the agency on 20 March with a couple of studio photos of the singer-actress, writing, "Lesley Chiang - Newly Signed, LA Theatrical. Lesley Chiang is a Canadian actress and singer songwriter, who is best known for her role as Liza in the Hong Kong sitcom "Come Home Love: Lo and Behold," for which she won the 2022 TVB Award for Breakthrough Star."

"She starred in her first American role for the Amazon Prime limited series 'Expats'," the company added.

It was back in December that the singer, who is also the daughter of veteran actor Paul Chun, revealed that she has ended her contract with TVB after seven years.

"Throughout these years, I've had many exciting and challenging roles in acting, hosting, and singing. I've learned and grown a lot, and I'm forever grateful for the opportunities that came my way. As I step into the next chapter of my life, I'm filled with excitement for what's to come. I'll continue to pour my heart into my work as an actress and singer-songwriter. I really, really, really love what I do, and I feel so lucky to be able to chase my dreams!" she posted.

Walmart shooter who killed 23 in Texas can avoid death penalty in a plea deal
Prosecutors said on Tuesday they have withdrawn the death penalty for the man who shot dead 23 people and wounded 22 others in an attack aimed at Latinos at a Texas Walmart in 2019, enabling him to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence. El Paso District Attorney James Montoya told a press conference he extended the plea deal after meeting with relatives of the victims, most of whom wanted to end the case as soon as possible, he said. Instead of facing death by lethal injection, shooter Patrick Crusius can agree to a life sentence without the possibility of parole in a hearing scheduled for April 21.

Authoritarian leader of Belarus is sworn for a 7th term and tells his critics 'you have no future'
Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko was sworn in Tuesday to a seventh term, and he mocked those who derided him as “Europe's last dictator” by saying his country has more democracy “than those who cast themselves as its models.” “Half of the world is dreaming about our ‘dictatorship,’ the dictatorship of real business and interests of our people," Lukashenko, 70, said in his inauguration speech at the Independence Palace in the capital of Minsk. Hundreds of opposition supporters living abroad held anti-Lukashenko rallies Tuesday to mark the anniversary of Belarus’ short-lived independence in 1918 following the collapse of the Russian Empire.
