When someone has been in the public eye for over two decades it’s hard to remember age because it feels like that person has been around forever. HK-actress Cecilia Cheung has been in the industry for over two decades and when news broke two weeks ago that she secretly gave birth to her third child my first reaction was concern … Continue reading →
Oooooh, I so love Park Shin Hye‘s head to toe look at Incheon airport today leaving South Korea for Hong Kong to attend a Swarovski event as she reps the brand. She looks relatively comfortable with a black tunic dress paired with thigh high soft suede stiletto boots and a leather biker coat with sherpa lining. The hair is casually feminine … Continue reading →
The list is out and there are 17 names on it. The good news is that if a star’s name is on it that means said star is an A-lister and one of the top earners in C-ent. The bad news is that the stars on the list were just summoned by the Chinese tax authorities for a meeting and … Continue reading →
Another boy (now man) is back in town after a stint in the military, though I confess I didn’t really feel his time away much. K-actor Jung Il Woo was discharged from the military today, capping off nearly 2 years of mandatory service and returning in time for the holiday season. He’s also returning with a drama offer accepted in … Continue reading →
It’s a drama upswing for So Ji Sub in his roller coaster television career, he’s someone who is really hit-or-miss with his drama picks especially. In recent years successes like The Master’s Sun and Phantom, and now the just finished Terius Behind Me, are contrasted with total fails including Oh My Venus and Road No. 1. I find when he … Continue reading →
I’m not going to say that second marriages are more likely to work than first ones but in the case of TW-actress Alyssa Chia it certainly feels like this is her true happily ever after after a really rough first go-around. She held an official wedding ceremony this weekend with actor husband Xiu Jie Kai, the two having registered their … Continue reading →
There’s a phenomenon of Instagram husbands and boyfriends whose sole job appears to be taking pictures of their lady for her account. I see it often at tourist or trendy spots and I guess being a famous actor doesn’t exempt Feng Shao Feng from becoming the picture taking mule for wifey Zhao Li Ying. This is the actress’s first update … Continue reading →
I love the IDGAF attitude of TW-actress Alyssia Chia in her second go-around at love. She’s so open and working hard at it, and looking amazing for being 44-years old and the mother of three daughters. Alyssia retired at the height of her fame after the drama adaptation of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre to marry a chaebol heir with … Continue reading →
It’s a beautiful and proud moment to see a young girl, in the limelight from the moment she was born due to the fame of her parents, step forward on her own accord and with such confidence. 12-year old Li Yan is most famous for being the daughter of HK superstar songstress Faye Wong and her now ex-husband C-actor Li … Continue reading →
I posted a few weeks on TW-actress Jian Man Shu‘s wedding pictorial, the ones taken prior to the wedding as memories to cherish, and it elicited quite polarizing responses. I LOVED hew two dresses: a red and white sleeveless confection and a lace deep-V ballgown, finding them lovely on her willowy frame and also refreshingly different. One can have fun … Continue reading →
It’s not easy in the entertainment industry anywhere, and aside from the casting tribulations the commentary and standards continue to follow a star even after pseudo-retirement. TW-actress Barbie Hsu (Da S) hasn’t acted in years ever since her marriage to a rich Chinese heir and then settling down to have two kids back-to-back. Unlike her little sister Xiao S, she … Continue reading →
The 80’s Hong Kong acting legends are making news waves in recent weeks and it’s only fitting that a long retired goddess also returns to the spotlight. Maggie Cheung has been retired from acting since 2006 and in the intervening 12 years she has rarely been seen in public. While her colleagues like Tony Leung, Andy Lau, and Carina Lau … Continue reading →
The second part of the Chinese government crack down on celebrity earnings is now in effect. The first part was investigation and self-reporting of tax evasion with the biggest scapegoat being top actress Fan Bing Bing, you fly the highest then you’re the first to be shot down. The second part requires that stars and production companies cap salaries going … Continue reading →
