Nicole Scherzinger hopes to plan Thom Evans in Hawaii ‘soon’

Nicole Scherzinger hopes to marry Thom Evans in Hawaii “soon”.

Nicole Scherzinger has revealed where she plans to tie the knot

The 47-year-old singer got engaged to the 40-year-old former rugby player in 2023, but the couple haven’t had the time to walk down the aisle yet due to the former Pussycat Doll’s stint in Broadway’s Sunset Boulevard.

Asked if they plan to tie the knot soon, she told The Sun newspaper: “Definitely we want to get married. I mean, listen, Norma Desmond and Sunset Boulevard took the past two years of my life, which was life-challenging but worth it.

“But we’re super-excited to get married, and we plan on getting married in Hawaii. That’s where I was born and my papa is an Archbishop there, so we plan on getting married in Hawaii, hopefully soon.”

The Don’t Cha hitmaker swooned over her partner’s plans to wear a kilt on their big day.

She continued: “I’m so excited. Thom wants to wear a Scottish kilt. How cool would that be? It will be beautiful. To think this guy from one island met this girl from this little island in the Pacific and came together. It’s like some Disney fairytale.”

Nicole went on to reveal that she surprisingly gets plenty of sleep next to her “hot” fiancé.

She added: “But yeah, he is a Greek God.

“He’s literally a Greek God. The other day, we were running. I didn’t even want to run any more, but I just kept running to watch him run.

“I was like, ‘I’m just chasing you ’cause you’re so hot’.”

In June, Nicole admitted work was getting in the way of wedding planning.

She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “Oh, there’s no wedding planning, honey. When you do Broadway, it’s only Broadway. You eat, sleep – you don’t sleep much – and breathe Broadway.

“Thank God I have a very understanding and wonderful and the most supportive fiancé.”

Hawaii Film Fest To Open With ‘Rental Family’; Screen ‘No Other Choice’

EXCLUSIVE: This year’s Hawai’i International Film Festival (HIFF) will open with Rental Family, starring Brendan Fraser, and has set Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice as its Centrepiece Film. 

Fraser stars as a down-and-out American actor adrift in Tokyo in Rental Family, which was filmed in Japan. The film is directed by Japan-born, US-based filmmaker and former actress Hikari, who has also directed episodes of Tokyo Vice and Netflix series Beef. No Other Choice, fresh from critical acclaim at the Venice and Toronto film festivals, has also just screened as the opening film of Busan International Film Festival.

Park is also being honoured with the Vision In Film Award at HIFF, which will also present a Career Achievement Award to New Zealand actress Melanie Lynksey (Pike River) and Maverick Award to Japanese director and action choreographer Kenji Tanigaki (The Furious). Japanese comedian Yuriyan Retriever will receive the festival’s New Vanguard Award. 

In addition, the creative team behind Apple TV+ series Chief Of War – inspired by Native Hawaiian history and co-created by Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa‘a Sibbett – will be presented with a Trailblazer Award. The team also includes producer Brian Keaulana and many members of the Kānaka Maoli and Pacific Islander community. 

HIFF is also launching its first ever industry conference in Honolulu, which will bring together Hawai’i’s creative community with visiting filmmakers and film agencies from across the Asia Pacific Rim. 

Keynote speakers set to attend HIFILM Industry Conference (October 24–26) include former Amazon Original Movies head of physical production Glenn Gainor, who has launched new outfit Hollywood Ventures; and Oscar-winning documentary director Ben Proudfoot (The Queen Of Basketball), who recently directed The Eyes Of Ghana, produced by the Obamas. The conference will also present a deep dive into the writing and production of Chief Of War.

“This new platform brings together a cross-section of professionals from across the industry – Sundance alums, Academy Award winners, Hollywood execs, international co-production experts, and cultural workers to examine how production impacts real communities, both above and below the line,” said HIFF Artistic Director Anderson Le.

“At a time of massive paradigm shifts, especially in Hawai’i, it’s vital we explore these real-world effects and anticipate the trends shaping the future of storytelling as it pertains to authenticity and the global marketplace.”

In total, HIFF will screen 72 features and 143 short films from 44 countries. The festival has expanded its shorts programming as it’s the only festival in the State of Hawaii to be an Academy Award qualifier for short films. Two awards will be handed out in the shorts categories – Best Short Film and the Best Made in Hawaii Award, dedicated to short films from Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

HIFF will also present the HIFF Kau Ka Hōkū (Shooting Star) Award to the best emerging filmmaker at the festival and the Pasifika Award for Best Feature Film, which focuses on films with a Pacific Islander perspective. The nominees for both awards are listed below. 

Other highlights include titles from Sundance, Cannes, Toronto and Busan film festivals along with major films from the Asia Pacific Rim that will screen at HIFF before their domestic releases. Best of fest titles include Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just An Accident, Lav Diaz’ Magellan, Oliver Laxe’s Sirat, Mascha Schlininski’s The Sound Of Falling and Kleber Mendonca’s The Secret Agent.

“HIFF45 continues our legacy of showcasing the most exciting and groundbreaking voices in global cinema, while also creating a vital hub for industry exchange through our inaugural HIFILM Industry Conference,” said HIFF Executive Director Beckie Stocchetti. 

The fest is scheduled to run October 15-26 in Honolulu and October 28-30 in West O`ahu, followed by screenings on Maui (Oct 19-20), Lana`I (Oct 21-23),  Kaua`I (Nov 1-3), Big Island (Waimea, Nov 7-9), Maui (Nov 8-9) Big Island (Hilo, Nov 13-16) and Moloka`I (Nov 14-16).
