Today’s biggest entertainment news in Asia about the break-up of Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong shocked even me who only knows them by the passing news I read. I’ve read more break-ups than couplings since last year that it’s no longer surprising. But still, though we will never know why these people part ways, something…
(This is part of an ongoing series on ploys that production companies use to “sell the drama”.) I should say on the above–not just production companies, but companies selling a product in general. In this instance, Taiwan mobile phone company Gionee. Now, people who haven’t heard of Gionee now knows what it is, especially Tiffany…

I mean, do you say… “film FES”??? Perhaps it’s…
I’ve had this song playing in my head for days now. It’s called 國境之南 or South of the Border, one of the songs in Cape No. 7. The film’s OST is one of the best I have ever heard, not to mention that the movie is really very charming. I recorded Fan Yi Chen, or…
(This is part of the series on behind-the-scenes while covering celebrities.) Yes, there is life after F4. It’s been more than a decade when four unknown guys took Asia by storm and our pop culture was never the same again. Before Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Zhu and Van Ness Wu, pop culture was still…
