The phenomenon that is smacking shirts (Chinese colloquial slang for wearing the same outfit) has really crossed country and industry lines so much so that it’s a stark reminder that there aren’t that many fashion houses out there. If we take the top ten from France, Italy, and US, chances are there is only so many red carpet, performance, and … Continue reading →
The 2021 year is winding down and I expect this may be the last or last few of the decrees coming out of the Chinese government in the attempt to re-organize it’s entertainment industry after a slew of scandals big and small. I do think it’s taking a sledge hammer to what should be cosmetic remodeling, some stars have scandals … Continue reading →
I thought things were dying down in C-ent after the summer of scandals and crackdowns, but this early fall may bring with it clarity for who and for what reasons certain stars are no longer going to be allowed to continue being in the entertainment industry in China. A list is spreading like wildfire that includes the names of 25 … Continue reading →
I think the last two decades, twenty years worth of rapid Chinese development in entertainment and consumption, has made those who live inside that world and also the public who consume the pretty end products forget that the political system of Mainland China remains led by the Communist Party and really a one-ruler autocracy. These past few years it’s become … Continue reading →
Another scandalous saga has come to an end and good news for the only victims in this case, the two innocent kids. C-stars Zhang Heng and Zheng Shuang secretly got married in the US and then secretly hired two separate surrogates to carry their babies. Then things fell apart between them and the two are in divorce proceedings with the … Continue reading →
I’m not going to say that disgraced C-actress Zheng Shuang is like totally and forever screwed from a comeback at this point but the final straw may be pissing off the Chinese government. Earlier this year she was revealed to have cavalierly wanted to get her two surrogate babies aborted in the late term after she and now ex-husband actor … Continue reading →
The defrosting appears to have begun with China and South Korean tension that led to basically the soft ban on K-dramas airing on TV and movies in theaters in the Mainland. C-ent is reporting that Song Joong Ki and Kim Tae Ri‘s hit movie Space Sweepers (Spaceship Victory) is in talks for release in Chinese theaters which makes sense as … Continue reading →
The fallout is fast and furious for C-actress Zheng Shuang after her ex-boyfriend (really ex-husband) Zhang Heng dropped the dirt that after their breakup she did not want their two babies born to surrogates they decided to have when they were together. This makes “who gets the pet” divorce question a walk in the park. Read my earlier post for … Continue reading →
Even putting divorce with discarding surrogate babies in the same “scandal” is absurd, one is like throwing in the trash a meal prepared by a loved one and the other is burning the house to the ground level bad. C-ent is all atwitter this week with news drops complete with secret recording releases that reveal C-actress Zheng Shuang has a … Continue reading →
There’s some happy news coming out of C-ent though it’s still rumor at this time. C-actress Zheng Shuang will reportedly tie the knot this coming October 2019 in Bali with her non-celebrity boyfriend of one year Zhang Heng. He’s a gaming company CEO so hardly a nobody but she’s got a string of actor boyfriend behind her so I guess … Continue reading →
Korean netizens have their own fixations on female star beauty with phrases like S-line, V-line, honey thighs, etc. that once understood is hard to unsee afterwards. C-netizens have their own preferences on what constitutes top starlet beauty and one such element is the “swan’s neck”, the long, lithe line of an actress lucky enough to be born with a very … Continue reading →
C-ent goes through It Girls like a fast speed conveyor belt and in recent two years Zheng Shuang has settled from her in every C-drama heyday to breaks between projects. This year she had the C-drama Rush to the Dead Summer with Cheney Chen and there are filmed C-dramas slated for 2018 but none have been top of the buzz … Continue reading →
The highly anticipated first teaser is here for the C-drama adaptation of popular college romance novel One Smile is Very Alluring (Wei Wei Yi Xiao Hen Qing Cheng), the one starring Yang Yang and Zheng Shuang and not the movie version with Angelababy and Jin Bo Ran. The drama’s English title is A Smile is Beautiful and the first teaser … Continue reading →
