This week's entertainment topics are...

Interview : Small talk
After the huge success of her self-titled debut album in 2001, Palmy is ready to tear up the charts again with her sophomore album Stay. Her looks remains the same and her magnificent voice still shines through, much to the pleasure of her fans everywhere.

Scott's way or the highway
No one ever said life is easy. While it may look like life for Thailand's celebrities is, there are always a few new stars who come along and prove that success is even sweeter when you have overcome great odds.

Acting like a star
Starry-eyed wannabes across the globe dream of making it big in Hollywood. And there isn't any exception for Thailand where more and more Thai celebrities are dreaming of having the international spotlight shine upon them. But not many are as lucky as 20-year-old actress Sara Malakul Lane who has made her dream of acting in Hollywood come true.

Movies coming your way
Thriller/Sci-Fi: EQUILIBRIUM (September 26, 2003) � Imagine a world in which everyone is forced to take a drug that stops their emotions. That's the case in fictional Libria where the rules of the land are simple: If you are happy, you will be arrested and if you cry, the law will hunt you down. Government official John Preston (Christian Bale) believed in this system, but when he skips his own dose of medicine he discovers a new world that gives him the passion to fight for freedom.

CD REVIEW : Staying in tune
Among mainstream pop artists, Palmy is one of the few singers whose voice is instantly recognisable. Her voice is powerful and it has style. On Stay, her sophomore album, Palmy shows more confidence in her singing. She uses lots of techniques to pronounce words and express them emotionally. Whether it be her fast tracks or slow ones, Palmy does a great job. Everything in Stay blends so well together � her vocals and her bohemian looks as well.

TV review : Basic Instinct
Human nature can be rather deceiving. People pretend to be nice and hide their true feelings or they act naturally when they are around other people. However, when people are caught in a life-threatening situation or if they are provoked, people tend to reveal their true identity.

Film review : Swatting bad guys back
You saw him in Phone Booth and The Recruit, and now he's back again. This time Colin Farrell stars as a SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team police officer in the new film S.W.A.T..
