C-ent wedding watch has been on top star couple Fan Bing Bing and Li Chen, for good reason based on their marriage ready age and how sweetly public they’ve been with the year long relationship.

This is fantastic news, however much it still requires follow through of a yet unknown project. Actor-singer Jang Geun Seok has stated that he will be coming back as an actor next year in 2016. In what capacity is yet unknown, a drama would be my preference but a movie isn’t a bad choice if the K-netizens still haven’t quite … Continue reading →

These two young ladies are soooooo adorable! Bromances get so much entertainment coverage, and I love me a good bromance as much as anyone else, but girl power friendships should get just as much love and attention.

It’s going to be a fun next few months as Chinese Running Man (Hurry Up Brother) comes back for season 3 of its massively popular run. I personally like watching the C-version more for the awe-inspiring locales around China used for the challenges, and the chance to get to know more Chinese and Taiwanese stars. Not to mention my fondness … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on October 17, 2015 by ockoalaOctober 17, 2015

This is one weird and ultimately pointless exercise in celebrity rubbernecking. C-actress Angelababy (Yang Ying) was just subject to a very public medical examination to confirm whether she had or hadn’t any plastic surgery, an exercise that was mandated by the Beijing court that is currently trying a case where she sued a plastic surgery clinic for claiming she had … Continue reading →

Kang Sora is Bright and Beautiful at Canon CF Event in Seoul

I like Kang Sora a lot, she’s got that triple threat combination of looks, acting ability, and relatable warmth. What she probably doesn’t have yet is that “it girl” hard to pinpoint quality that might propel a less acting talented actress like Suzy to the top but keeps Kang Sora from fully breaking out. But I think it’ll come in … Continue reading →

I think it’s clear that pregnant women run the same gamut as their non-pregnant brethren, i.e. comes in all shapes and sizes. With that said, pregnant stars almost always skew towards the doesn’t look pregnant at all end of the spectrum, glowing with only teeny tiny baby bumps and no excess weight added anywhere else but the belly.

Money was clearly no limitation for the lavish and star-studded wedding ceremony of top Chinese stars Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy. It was as luxurious and over-the-top as Jay Chou‘s nuptials to Hannah Quinlivan last year, minus only the English castle backdrop but plus dozens more celebrity guests since it wasn’t a destination wedding. The newlyweds actually got married officially a … Continue reading →

For those thinking Dispatch went on vacation or suddenly grew a conscience in the recent quiet few months, clearly it was laying low to spring a big one on the public. This “exclusive dating reveal” is second only to the Lee Min Ho–Suzy shocker this year, probably as big as Park Shin Hye–Lee Jong Seok, but the spot this dating leading … Continue reading →
