Looks like the whole “fake news” bit is moving over to China and over some totally silly pregnancy questioning. Married Chinese stars Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy welcomed their first child earlier this year in January 2017, the baby boy nicknamed Little Sponge and has yet to make his public debut. The new parents have been enjoying life with a newborn … Continue reading →
First impressions mean a lot and I loved the concept poster for the long awaited C-drama adaptation of fantasy period romance novel Once Promised (Ceng Shu Nuo) by writer Tong Hua most famous for having penned Bu Bu Jing Xin. The drama is being called A Lifetime Love (Chinese title Ancient Love Song – Shang Gu Qing Ge) and all the … Continue reading →
This news is such a pun perfect moment I gotta just go with it – Angelababy just had her baby! Yes, one of the most uniquely named C-actresses just gave pun-addicted entertainment fans a softball by safely delivering her first child with husband Huang Xiaoming. The star couple have been married since 2015 and were part of the 2016 wave … Continue reading →
Most sequels tend to disappoint regardless of whether the original cast comes back. It’s hard to make lightning in a bottle twice but I’m mildly optimistic about the upcoming period C-drama Nirvana in Fire 2. It’s from the same production crew from screenwriter to director but with a completely unrelated story and new cast. The setting is fifteen years about … Continue reading →
This post heading is likely too obvious a pun but the news is certainly good tidings in a week where C-ent was in subdued mourning. That Angelababy is having a baby is confirmation after two weeks of media and fan speculation starting from astute eyes noticing that she was a little bit rounder and also wearing flowier clothes and preferring … Continue reading →
The gentlemen of Chinese entertainment were out in collective stylish handsomeness this week for the 2016 GQ China Men of the Year Awards in Beijing. It was across the board old school well tailored tuxedo glamour for all attendees but one very bright exception, lol. Leading the way were two of China’s top leading men Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming, … Continue reading →
Chinese-speaking entertainments best and brightest stars were out in mega force this past Friday for the annual Bazaar Star Charity Night. There were so many pretty faces and fashionable attire it’s impossible to pick a post topper so I’ll go with the pregnant and glowing Ruby Lin in a flowing caftan Elie Saab red dress and her head shaved hubby … Continue reading →
A name change for a novel to drama adaptation is so common these days, and increasingly the character names are changed as well and only the story outline remains the same. It’s likely to avoid Chinese censors if the story fictionalizes the lives of real life historical or cultural figures. Upcoming fantasy period drama adaptation of Tong Hua novel Once … Continue reading →
It’s rare for me to be totally caught off guard but this C-drama news is a major out of nowhere announcement. Tong Hua’s period fantasy wuxia novel Once Promised (Ceng Shu Nuo) is getting a C-drama adaptation starring Huang Xiaoming and Victoria Song (Song Qian). It’s the story of the parents generation before the sequel novel Lost You Forever that … Continue reading →
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 →
There was plenty of glitter across both sides of the strait this past week – Taiwan held its highest television honors with the Golden Bell Awards while the popular Chinese and Korean stars alighted for the Bazaar Star Charity Night in Beijing. I concur with commentators who have noticed that Chinese and Taiwanese actresses tend to be way more fashion conscious and edgy … Continue reading →
s I’m taking this rumored upcoming Chinese-Korean collaboration drama with a grain of salt, but more on the casting than on the drama actually happening. Word on the street is that Chinese A-list actor Huang Xiaoming, who is getting ready for his upcoming big-budget wedding to fellow C-actress Angelababy (Yang Ying), is pretty a spin-off drama to his recent period … Continue reading →
Usually a fan goes from reel to real, watching a drama or movie OTP and wishing they would get together in real life. This might be the first case of real to reel, watching a real life set of maybe soul mates and definite best friends finally cross that line solely onscreen but delivering plenty of catharsis for a twenty plus year … Continue reading →
