Adele announces first tour in five years for new album ‘25’
LONDON — Adele has announced her first tour since 2011, with a string of European dates in support of her recordbreaking new album, “25.” The British singer announced Thursday that she will play venues in Britain and Europe starting Feb. 29 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Adele has previously said she finds touring lonely. But in a video on Facebook, the 27-year-old said she was “relieved to finally tell you I am of course coming on tour and I can’t wait to see all of
you there.” The album sold a record 2.4 million copies in its first four days in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. In Britain, it sold 737,000 copies in its first week. The first single, “Hello,” is a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. One reason for the astronomical sales may be that Adele
declined to make her album available through music-streaming services including Apple Music and Spotify, forcing listeners to buy it either digitally and at stores. It can be heard via U.S.-based online radio company Pandora Music Inc., which announced this week that it was playing all the songs on “25.” Pandora is not an on-demand service, though, so listeners can’t choose which tracks they hear.

Aniston thinks ‘By The Sea’ exploits her marriage to Pitt
Jennifer Aniston is rumored to believe that her failed marriage to Brad Pitt is being exploited in the film he made with Angelina Jolie. “By The Sea” is about a couple’s troubled marriage and they go on vacation in an effort to save it. Angelina portrays a woman depressed about not having any children following two miscarriages. KDrama Stars reports that sources claim Jennifer “freaked out” after hearing about the storyline of “By the Sea.” She thought it was too similar to her marriage to Brad just before they divorced. There was even word that Jennifer wanted to have the movie pulled from theaters. Apparently, even Brad thought the movie’s plot hit a little too close to home regarding his marriage to Jennifer. Other reports state that Angelina is “rolling her eyes” at Jennifer’s anger and Brad’s anxiety over the film. As Gossip Cop reports, this whole rumor of Jennifer Aniston being upset about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filming “By the Sea” started over a report published by Life & Style magazine. A source told L&S: “Jen feels like Angelina’s script took dead aim at
her. It’s sparked a war between Jen and Brad.” Jennifer supposedly believes that Angelina’s character is inspired by her. Interestingly, Angelina wrote the film’s screenplay. The tabloid report explained that although Angelina wrote the screenplay, Aniston is “placing the blame squarely on Brad,” because she allegedly believes that her ex-husband “must have betrayed intimate details of their marriage.” Gossip Cop goes on to reveal that a rep for Aniston insisted that these rumors are “100 percent untrue” and that she hasn’t even seen the film. Brad and Angelina enjoyed making “By the Sea” and it’s the first time they’ve reunited to make a film together since starring in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” back in 2005. There were a few obstacles along the way when Brad and Angelina made the film. “When we first worked together it was very different because we didn’t really know each other and we were young and, it was really a fun film, so we thought, maybe ‘By the Sea’ was going to be that kind of fun, but realized very quickly that it wasn’t,” Jolie told The Telegraph. “Then we joked that this is what happens after 10 years of marriage.” (starpulse)

Ngurah Rai Airport’s security tightened over Paris attack
KUTA - Ngurah Rai International Airport is tightening its security following the government’s decision to step up security levels at all airports as a precaution against the ISIS. “Now, security is being increased following an instruction from the central government that has decided to raise the alert status from green to yellow,” the co-general manager of PT Angkasa Pura I that operates the airport, I Gusti Ngurah Ardita, said on Saturday. Met at the integrated security command post of the airport, he
said coordination and synergy with other security agencies had been increased. The joint forces that have been assigned to the security at the airport include forces from the bomb defusing unit of the Mobile Brigade of the Bali Regional Police Command, the air force, the airport police command, and the airport security personnel,
apart from the “Pecalang” (Balinese traditional security personnel). “We have increased monitoring and surveillance along with the police, the TNI (military), and Pecalang, as well as our own security personnel,” he said. The joint security forces would regularly patrol the airport as well as areas around the airport, Ardita said. Patrol activities, however, would not be carried out overly depending upon the situation and condition to assure humane service to visitors and
passengers at the airport, he said. Besides optimizing cooperation between security personnel, security equipment at the airport has also been revamped. There are more than 500 CCTV cameras planted around the airport and the number would be increased next year, he explained. Security has been stepped up at airports across Indonesia following ISIS attacks in Paris, France, recently. Terrorist threats have been re-
ceived by a number of countries as well as airline companies across the world, and therefore the Indonesian government has raised the alert level, he said.

Palm oil industry bring forex earnings
DESPITE being the world’s largest palm oil producer and supplier, Indonesia is still unable to control the price of crude palm
oil (CPO). So, the palm oil industry must be supported as it produces a strategic commodity, which can bring significant foreign exchange earnings, Agriculture Minister Amran Sulaiman stated. During the 11th Indonesian Palm Oil Conference (IPOC) that held
in Nusa Dua, Bali on Friday, Sulaiman said that palm oil is a strategic commodity, so it must be supported. In 2014 alone, palm oil contributed Rp250 trillion to foreign exchange earnings. Therefore, he affirmed that Indonesia must strive to control the global CPO prices, so that the amount
of earnings from the commodity can be larger. “As the world’s main CPO exporter, Indonesia must be able to control the global CPO prices in the same way as wheat exporters are able to control the prices of wheat sold to importers, including Indonesia,” he said.
He called on all palm oil producers in Indonesia and Malaysia to work closely, particularly after they formed the Council of Palm Oil Producing Countries (CPOPC) to improve the living standard of palm oil growers. Continue to page 2 Important role ...
