| Lady Gaga, Nathan |
Nathan, who is trying to come clean after years of telling lies about himself, said he was inspired to turn over a new leaf when he watched Lady Gaga, playing the role of a girl rebel in the music video, stride out of the prison in which she is briefly held captive.
She is met in the "Pussy Wagon'' outside jail by Beyonce Knowles, who reprimands Gaga: "Lady Gaga, you have been a very bad girl!''
Nathan says that line carried meaning for him too, especially when he put himself in place of Lady Gaga. He knew he had been a bad boy, but also knew there was a chance he could walk out of the jail cell in which, with his own lies, he had imprisoned himself.
Nathan concocted yarns that he was starring in a Hollywood blockbuster, and came from exotic roots in the Middle East.
Asking for a new start, Nathan told the Woody Kert Ma Kui show that he had been lying about himself since he entered the industry as a teen - though he did so, he adds, at the behest of a group of five of six backers, whom he will not name.
"They told me to make up the story about being part-Thai, part-Nepalese. I would talk to the press along the lines we agreed, but reporters would read more into my comments, so the story ended up even more fantastic than before,'' he said. "But my backers decided that was OK ... it's just publicity after all.''
Nathan said his backers also dreamed up the story that he was starring opposite Bruce Willis and Christina Ricci in The Prince of Red Shoe, a three-part blockbuster supposedly directed by Wolfgang Petersen for 20th Century Fox, which doesn't actually exist.
"The closest I ever came to acting in a movie was when I visited the US to take part in a casting meeting,'' he said, while admitting that sometimes he felt disgusted and scared about the mythical creature he had created.
"But I am relieved now that I finally have a chance to put those stories to rest.''
The former RS Promotion singer spent the past eight months in Loei, staying with the extended family of Bangkok teacher Pitsamai "Maem'' Srikrabuth, with whom he has since fallen out.
She and an aunt by marriage have lodged a complaint with police against him, accusing him of fraud.
Maem looked after him during a scrape with the law last year, when a former housekeeper accused Nathan of defrauding her of 740,000 baht.
The faded star said he realised it was time he asked for society's forgiveness when he saw the Lady Gaga video."`I realise I had imprisoned myself with my own lies, and it was time I started telling the truth for a change.''
Nathan, who at the height of his dream-weaving phase also claimed he was the master of five languages, shared his secret of how to deceive people into thinking he was the real thing.
"I spoke in an affected manner and accent ... whatever came into my head. I didn't understand it all, of course, but by doing it often enough I was able to grasp perhaps 60% of the meaning.''
Nathan said he can live with the "fraudster'' and "conman'' tags placed on him by the media, but wants to erase the fictional Nathan that he and his backers created from the public memory.
"I don't regret what happened. While I would like to apologise to everyone I have hurt, including the friends I may have lost, I would also like to thank the entertainment industry, the world of fantasy and mask-wearing. The experience has made me a stronger person.'' -

Paparazzi poser Sexy star Patcharapa "Aum'' Chaichuea is bemoaning the state of camera technology after one photographer snapped her underwear at a recent function.
In pictures that appeared in the media, Aum was photographed climbing inelegantly out of a sports car.
Her generous breasts appeared on the verge of toppling out of her black dress, but more worryingly, perhaps, is that the public was also given an eyeful of her black underwear as she tried to disentangle her legs from the vehicle.
A flash of white appeared where it shouldn't, prompting speculation that a hole had opened in her knickers. Aum, however, reassured those of her fans who worried she might have been showing too much.
"It wasn't a tear ... it's simply a hem mark,'' she said. "I wear two or three pairs of underwear to forestall such accidents.''
"So, is the solution upping your protection, by wearing three or four pairs instead?'' one helpful journalist asked.
"Actually, I might have to put on fewer, perhaps just the one pair, as I was wearing white underneath my black pants that day,'' she said. People might have thought too much if a tear had indeed opened in her black knickers.
"I'm not worried about the sighting. However, I do have to wonder about the speed of cameras these days. I move fast, and yet the camera manages to catch everything,'' she said. -

Grammy singer Marsha Vadhanapanich has disappointed journalists who had hoped she would dish the dirt on celebrity DJ Krit Sripoomset, after the pair declared their six-year relationship at an end.
The DJ is still in debt to her for millions of baht, which prompted speculation last week that Marsha would send in the lawyers. Krit went before the media earlier this month to clarify his borrowing from Marsha, after one newspaper claimed erroneously that he had taken a title deed worth 20 million baht.
He said the pair signed an agreement allowing him to borrow five million baht, but the title deed was still with Marsha.
The pair parted amicably, and had never argued about his alleged roving eye, he said.
Reports appeared early last week that Marsha was gathering evidence in response to Krit's claims.
The pair disappointed reporters, however, when on Thursday they appeared before the media, hand in hand, to declare they were still in love, and had no intention of slinging mud.
"Marsha claims everything Krit says is true!'' proclaimed one surprised headline.
Marsha and Krit said they parted because they were working too hard and did not have enough time for each other. -

Fifteen is just a number - who cares if it's also the age of the young man you are seeing?
Saucy actress Kree Phaswipitch has struck up a friendship with socialite actor Wattana "Uab Uan'' Chumsai na Ayuthaya, who is aged just 15, and an impressive 191cm tall.
Kree, who is 13 years older, says she isn't worried by critics who say she likes `em young.
"We're just friends, but I admit he fits my specs, and who knows what the future holds,'' she said.
"I want my boyfriends to be younger, as I enjoy the role of leader, rather than follower,'' she said.
The pair co-starred in a short film, Luang, filmed in Cannes last year and funded by the Thai Ministry of Culture.
Kree said the age gap can cause communication problems, but it is not a huge obstacle.
"Even people the same age can have trouble getting through to each other,'' she said.
And while she prefers small men to gentle giants, nothing's perfect.
"Fifteen, after all, is just a number,'' she said. -

Actress Napapa "Pat'' Tontrakul - known unflatteringly as "Miss Botox'' in the press - plans a breast job as a New Year's present to herself.
When she held aloft one arm recently, alert journalists noticed a crease in her arm pit. The crinkled arm pit sighting gave rise to rumours that she had been to see a cosmetic surgeon already, but Pat denies it.
Pat, whose fondness for facial injections has earned her the soubriquet Miss Botox, said she had long thought about surgery to make her breasts larger, but has yet to go under the knife.
"No part of me comes from a surgeon, though I have now talked to one, and hope to get my breasts enhanced - from an A cup all the way to a C cup - early next year,'' she said, adding the crease mark in her armpit had been there since birth.
Pat said she had given up on Botox, as she doesn't like the side-effects involved.
"Nowadays, I just go for face massages,'' she said.
