Restoran tema Nazi di Bandung yang sebelum ini ditutup secara sukarela Jumaat lalu akan dibuka semula dengan menampilkan tema Perang Dunia Kedua dan mengekalkan imej Adolf Hitler tanpa lambang swastika.

"The SoldatenKaffee" atau Kafe Tentera itu telah dihias dengan imej kenangan berkaitan Nazi ditutup oleh pemiliknya, Henry Malyana,35, setelah dituduh mencetuskan kebencian kaum dan dia terpaksa berhadapan dengan ancaman bunuh.

Kafe yang diberi nama sempena kedai popular di Jerman dan Paris ketika Perang Dunia Kedua ini telah beroperasi sejak 2011. Sebelum ini, kafe tersebut tidak mendapat banyak tentangan namun setelah disiarkan oleh akhbar berbahasa Inggeris, kewujudan kafe itu dikecam pelbagai pihak dari dalam dan luar negara.

Menurut peguam Henry, Rohman Hidayat, pemilik restoran itu tidak melakukan sebarang kesalahan. Malah, Henry bercadang untuk memindahkan lokasi kafe ke tempat lain di Bandung dengan tema Perang Dunia Kedua yang lebih luas.

"Kafe baru itu tidak hanya digantung dengan gambar Hitler. Gambar Winston Churchill juga akan digantung, begitu juga dengan pahlawan Indonesia. Gambar tentera Jepun juga akan dipasang, bukan hanya tentera Jerman. Yang pasti, tidak ada swastika," katanya.

Walaubagaimanapun, Henry tidak memberitahu bila dia akan membuka semula kafe itu.

Lady Gaga is top earning celebrity under 30 - Forbes

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Despite hip surgery that forced the cancellation of part of her tour, Lady Gaga still earned an estimated $80 million (52 million pounds) in the past year, propelling her to the top of Forbes list of highest earning celebrities under 30 years old.

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber, who made headlines as much for his antics off stage as on, came in a distant second with an estimated income of $58 million. Singer Taylor Swift was third, pulling in $55 million, about $2 million less than last year when she topped the list.

The Forbes website said Lady Gaga, 27, would have earned more had she not had to cancel some 20 U.S. shows starting in February. Gaga announced earlier this month that she will release her next album "ARTPOP" on November 11.

DJ, songwriter and producer Calvin Harris, who played more than 150 shows from June 2012-June 2013 and earned $46 million, was fourth on the list, and Barbados-born pop star Rihanna rounded out the top five with earnings of $43 million.

To compile the ranking Forbes estimated entertainment-related income for the 12 months from June 2012 through June 2013 by talking to agents, managers, producers and executives.

British singer Adele, who won an Oscar for the theme from the James Bond movie "Skyfall," was seventh on the list with an estimated $25 million.

Along with singers, two actresses also made the top 10. Best actress Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who wowed audiences and critics for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook" and also appeared in "The Hunger Games," earned $26 million, which secured her the No. 8 spot, just ahead of fellow actress Kristen Stewart of "Twilight" fame, who had earnings of $22 million.
