If you love wedding gawking this come right in because this post is chock full of all the visual happy goodies from a star-studded wedding. Taiwanese actress Ady An tied the knot on June 5th in Hawaii with her businessman fiancee and their wedding was as fun and extravagant as expected. The huge wedding party had lots of Taiwanese actresses … Continue reading →
It’s hard to write about the sad events in entertainment, and nothing is as sad than the death of an entertainer. It’s so final, turning the reel enjoyment into a real sadness that seeps through the screen even if the viewer never knew the entertainer in real life. Taiwanese actor-singer Shone An (An Jun Can) passed away last week at … Continue reading →
The 49th Annual Golden Bell Awards totally snuck up on me when it flooded all the TW-ent media portals this weekend with picspam galore. The TW-version of the Emmy’s celebrated the great television programs and performances of 2014 and most of the idol fluffy dramas I watched were nowhere near being nominated. Aside from the nominations for In a Good Way and … Continue reading →
Another year, another edition of Vogue Magazine’s Fashion Night Out, a celebrity call to shopping if you will. I posted about 2011’s FNO in Taiwan, and 2012’s affair is even more glittering and star-studded. The celebrity pictorial follows the same concept of “one t-shirt, many styles”, with each celeb told to add their personalized touches to a simple logo cotton … Continue reading →
Since the Super Junior Boys were just in Japan for the Athena DVD Release Concert, it must’ve been easy for Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae to jet to Taiwan afterwards for some sorely lacking Skip Beat promotional activities. Due to scheduling conflicts, the entire cast held just one whirlwind press conference back in December right before the drama premiered. More … Continue reading →
[M2F recap coming much later, so don’t ask where it is] The cast of the upcoming live-action adaptation of the manga Skip Beat attended a press conference today in Taipei to drum up interest for the premiere of the drama this coming Sunday. Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae jetted into town for less six hours just for this important event. … Continue reading →
Unless you know your source material, this poster for the upcoming Taiwanese drama Skip Beat isn’t going to make any sense with respect to Ivy Chen wearing a eye-hurting bright pink jumpsuit and carrying a chicken costume head in her hand while making an “L” gesture with her other hand. But if you’ve read the manga, she’s exactly as I … Continue reading →
Bianca Bai is in the pages of Vogue Taiwan these month modeling wedding dresses. Bianca is like Tiffany Hsu for me, utterly gorgeous but a very mediocre actress always playing the second fiddle. I hope her turn as the best friend/rival to Ivy Chen‘s leading lady character in Skip Beat allows her to break out of her vase status and wow … Continue reading →
Do my eyes deceive me? *rubs eyes* Nope, that is in fact Joe Cheng posing for…..Hello Kitty. I suppose stranger things have happened, but once I got over my extreme shock at the incongruity of it all, I suppose two of my favorites together is always a good thing. It actually wasn’t just Joe – he was paired with Sonia … Continue reading →
There must be something in the air around here, because I am way more excited about upcoming TW-dramas than I am about upcoming K-dramas (with the exception of Best Love). GTV is totally on a roll these days, it has Hayate the Combat Butler completed, and now Extravagant Challange, its long-awaited live-action adaptation of the manga Skip Beat finally starts … Continue reading →
GTV announced yesterday that shooting will commence on March 31, 2011 for Extravagant Challange, its long-delayed drama adaptation of the manga Skip Beat. The two male leads Choi Si Won and Lee Dong Hae of the K-pop group Super Junior will be arriving in Taiwan next week, and is expected to live there for four months during the shooting for … Continue reading →
