Like I said before, shipping is the most difficult part of fandom. You cast your lot on two people’s fates, two people you don’t know, and you don’t even know if they really like each other beyond what is public or what you believe in.

There are two types of rumors that people love about celebrities: 1) who they’re dating (or sleeping with) 2) who’s gay. Sex(uality) sells indeed.

(This is part of the series on behind-the-scenes while covering celebrities.) This may as well be an apology letter to Mike He. And @marylngoh would know why I would need to make that apology to Xiao Mei. Whenever I have a trip to Taipei, I always ask my friends who I should interview. Of course,…
