I love exquisite and personally reflected weddings, and both were in plenty supply at the after Christmas nuptials of Taiwanese stars Sunny Wang and Dominique Tsai. The wedding took place in Australia where Dominique is from, and went for a rustic elegant feel at a countryside manor complete with outdoor wedding and a custom greenhouse built for the reception. The … Continue reading →
There hasn’t been as many Taiwan celebrity weddings as there are in Korea, hence fewer pre-wedding star pictorials. Of course the over-the-top splendor and extravagance of Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan‘s wedding last year takes the cake for a long time to come, but some couples are less into fairy tales and more into sleek chic. Taiwanese stars Sunny Wang and … Continue reading →
Breeze is one of Taiwan’s largest department stores (though I’m partial to Uni-Hankyu 統一阪急 and Shinkong Mitsukoshi 新光三越) and the flagship store is in the Shinyi district along with the other main department stores and next to the flagship Eslite Bookstore. The homegrown fashion conglomerate holds an annual star-studded Breeze Night fashion fete every year attended by the stars and … Continue reading →
Well this is different enough to be either rocking or an abominable mess. When Director Tsai did Black & White it could have been a giant mess of a stinker and yet it took Taiwan dramas to a whole new level. Could this do it again? Cable network TVBS is producing its first idol drama called Flying Past Dragon Gate … Continue reading →
RIM just announced lower than expected forecast for next quarter, and the slew of bad news has been dogging the company for the past year since it’s unable to keep up with the smart phone market. One of the digs against RIM is that it just doesn’t “get it”, doesn’t understand cultural shifts, get onboard with the correct trends so … Continue reading →
Today was the unveiling of the Da Ren Wu Charity Photo Exhibition in Taipei (da ren wu literally means big person and here it refers to someone famous), where nearly forty of Taiwan’s biggest entertainers participated in an edgy and thought provoking photo shoot for the sake of art and charitable giving. Everyone donated their time, including the famed make … Continue reading →
Another TW-drama starting filming today and the cast attended a media event since it’s never too early to drum up interest. Co-starring as the leads are Cheryl Yang and Sunny Wang, the latter having shot to stardom with a supporting role in In Time With You with Ariel Lin. This drama is called Sweet Magic Bus (甜蜜魔幻巴士) which is a … Continue reading →
What a difference a big mouth makes. Just days after rumors went fursploding about Rainie Yang and Sunny Wang heading to NYC together on the same flight, the flurry of eyewitness sightings and blabbermouths have pretty much confirmed they ARE in fact dating and went to the US together for Thanksgiving. They were spotted at Kansai airport awaiting their transit … Continue reading →
Dayum, Rainie Yang has like the best job around these days. First she scored a good five months with Joseph Chang making moon eyes at each other and making out in Drunken to Love You, not to mention her long list of great co-stars in the past. Then she spent the Summer running all over Asia promoting her platinum album … Continue reading →
In Time With You may not be close to winning the ratings crown in the Sunday night battle with Office Girls, but it’s gotten very solid ratings along with exceptional critical acclaim. The cast and crew should feel very proud. My own personal problems with ITWY stem purely from the writing and I’m thrilled to see Ariel Lin and Bolin … Continue reading →
