'This Is It' thrills box office with $101 million

11/02/2009 11:11:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

This Is It? Hardly.

Sony announced today the Michael Jackson concert movie, originally billed as a two-week-only event, will stay in theaters through Thanksgiving weekend.

The un-surprise move comes after This Is It led the box-office competition with an estimated $21.3 million Friday-Sunday, and upped its five-day worldwide haul to $101 million.

Even in success, though, the film didn't thoroughly dominate Miley Cyrus. Much less Paranormal Activity.

For starters, Jackson's This Is It barely came within $10 million of matching Cyrus' Hannah Montana concert movie's opening weekend record ($31.1 million). Best of Both Worlds, which opened on a Friday, unlike the Wednesday-debuting This Is It, also made more money in its first five days than This Is It: $37.3 million versus $32.5 million.

Domestically. Internationally was another story.

As a draw, Jackson is like James Bond, bigger overseas than he is in the United States. And sure enough, two-thirds of This Is It's eye-popping worldwide gross came from the rest of the world, led by the Jackson-friendly environs of Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany.

According to Sony, the film's $101 million take is already a new worldwide record for a concert movie. This Is It cleared the old record, held by Best of Both Worlds, natch, by nearly $30 million—and counting.

Paranormal Activity (second place, $16.5 million), meanwhile, was the weekend's top-grossing non-Michael Jackson movie. Adding to its legend, the thriller actually made more money per theater than This Is It.

Overall, the no-budget wonder has now grossed $84.8 million.

Elsewhere:

• In its third steady weekend, Jamie Foxx's and Gerard Butler's Law Abiding Citizen (third place, $7.3 million; $51.4 million overall) moved up to third, and topped its reputed $50 million budget.

• Halloween pulled a trick on Saw VI (fifth place, $5.6 million; $22.8 million overall), which saw ticket sales fall 61 percent from last weekend.

• Hilary Swank's Amelia (ninth place, $3 million; $8.3 million overall) sputtered into the Top 10 thanks to the departure of two relative old-timers, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs ($118.6 million overall) and Zombieland ($71.2 million overall), and a dearth of new arrivals.

• In limited release, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day ($525,000) was, theater for theater, bigger than Paranormal Activity and This Is It; Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess' Gentlemen Broncos ($10,006) was, theater for theater, bigger than all but those two Top 10 hits.

Here's a look at the weekend's top-grossing films based on Friday-Sunday estimates as compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

1. Michael Jackson's This Is It, $21.3 million
2. Paranormal Activity, $16.5 million
3. Law Abiding Citizen, $7.3 million
4. Couples Retreat, $6.1 million
5. Saw VI, $5.6 million
6. Where the Wild Things Are, $5.1 million
7. The Stepfather, $3.4 million
8. Astro Boy, $3.04 million
9. Amelia, $3 million
10. Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, $2.8 million

Will New Internet Domain Names Change the Web?

11/02/2009 11:10:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

Finally, the World Wide Web will live up to its name. The decision by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that Web sites written in Russian, Chinese, Arabic, and other non-ASCII character sets will be able to have their Internet domain names displayed in their own languages truly makes the Web a global worldwide network. For the past 40 years (the Internet turned 40 this week) the Internet and the Web have been the exclusive domain of English language addresses. For non-English-speaking countries, it has been the real-world equivalent to forcing them to use English language stationary.

No longer will entire countries be forced to use Latin-based characters and their Web addresses and e-mail addresses will now be as recognizable as their telephone book. The move is being heralded by ICANN as the biggest technical change to the Internet since its birth.

A Truly Worldwide Wed

For that reason many around the world are cheering the move as a way of opening up Internet access to more people.

"The net result will be an expansion of the Internet in terms of resources and users. Small local businesses are likely to benefit as their Internet and e-mail address can now be in their own local language," according to a writer for Asia Times Online.

The Korea Herald pointedly quoted ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom as saying the new Internet names are "very important not only for more than half of the current [Internet] users but also for half of the Internet users to come."

More than 50 percent of the current total of 1.6 billion Internet users speak languages that aren't Latin-based, according to widely used estimates.

World Wide Web of Babel

Yet on the other hand, the new names carry risks for new security concerns and general user confusion. Some fear the Web might grow increasingly fragmented into areas easily accessible only to those conversant in local languages.

There are certainly lots of languages in the world, a problem mythologized in the Biblical tale of the fall of the Tower of Babel, in which God punished people by scattering them across the face of the Earth and splitting the human language into many different tongues.

Google, the world's leading search engine, now does support searches conducted with the use of Korean and Arabic character sets, for instance.

But ICANN's actions, although well intended, also raise nuts-and-bolts questions that are yet to be answered.

How will you be able to type the domain names of international Web sites when your keyboard doesn't support their character sets?

It would be logistically just about impossible for a PC maker to supply a keyboard supporting the Western "ABC" alphabet, along with the disparate character sets used in all of these tongues, for example: Japanese, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Cyrillic, and the Central and European languages.

It's true that you can download fonts used in these languages, along with "virtual keyboard layouts" that spare you the need to buy separate physical keyboards.

But things can get very dicey here. For instance, Russian keyboards are reportedly slightly different on Windows and Mac PCs.

And to handle the virtual keyboards with much efficiency, you need to put special stickers on your keys. Just how many virtual keyboards and sets of stickers is anyone supposed to have on hand in the house or office?

It looks as though we could see the development of a whole new class of Web domains that most people won't be able to get to easily -- even though they might be able to find those Web sites with a search engine.

Certainly language translation services and technology may be the biggest winners with today's news. I predict both will flourish along with an international land grab for variations of the word "sex" dot-com.

Mel Gibson's Girlfriend Gives Birth

11/02/2009 11:10:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Mel Gibson may be a father for the eighth time: His girlfriend, musican Oksana Grigorieva, gave birth to a baby girl, according to reports circulating on the Web. PEOPLE is currently attempting to confirm the news.

The baby, who was due in December, arrived Friday, says RadarOnline

Gibson, 53, has seven children (six sons and a daughter) with his estranged wife Robyn, while Oksana has a son, Alexander, with her former boyfriend, actor Timothy Dalton.

"I have a 12 year old, so I've been a mother for 12 years – and of course, there is no first time mother's trepidation as such," Grigorieva, 39, said on a British TV show in September. "So naturally it's more relaxed, and I'm very dynamic so the pregnancy falls into my work schedule."

In terms of her relationship with the actor-filmmaker, she said, "Actually we have no plans to marry whatsoever. I haven't thought about it – we haven't spoken about it."

In April, the actor's wife of 30 years, Robyn, filed for divorce. Later that month, he and Grigeorieva made their first public appearance together as a couple.

Brown Eyed Girls stir up controversy again

11/02/2009 11:09:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Just like the music video for Abracadabra, the new Brown Eyed Girls music video for Sign is stirring up quite a bit of controversy. The music video was released only a few days ago but since then many fans have been expressing their signs of disapproval.

We can all admit that the music video does take on a very creepy concept with a SAW (movie) like mood. But many fans seem to think that it's going a bit too far, saying that the music video promotes violence and torture. One netizen even said, "The overall music video is amazing but I think they crossed some sort of line."

But can we really blame them? I too would go bananas if I ever saw Ga-In trapped in a tank full of water, gasping for air. So what do you think readers, do you agree? Was the music video a bit too much? We don't think so, and we definitely enjoyed the fact that the BEG brought something new and fresh.

Hugh Jackman Prepares to Pass Sexiest Man Alive Crown

11/02/2009 11:09:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

As the one-year reign of Hugh Jackman as People's Sexiest Man Alive winds down, it's time to pass the crown to a new deserving hunk. So who does the Australian screen star, Oscar host and current Broadway leading man want to see take the title next?

"Me! I want to be the first to have it back to back, buddy," Jackman, 41, told PEOPLE's reporter on Friday in New York, while attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert (set to air on HBO Nov. 29). "That would be fantastic!"

Though he would like to reclaim the title, the Steady Rain star (who costars in the Broadway drama with Daniel Craig, certainly another SMA possibility) says it's been quite an exciting year as the Sexiest Man Alive, but also one that's been a little demanding.

"I thought there were thousands of other guys that deserved it, but it's been a great year. But now the pressures off," he said good-naturedly. "I can be a slob again."

Wang Lee Hom films commercial; gets half-naked

11/02/2009 11:09:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Taiwanese Singer Wang Lee Hom, spokesperson of Brand’s Chicken Essence, gets half-naked filming a commercial for it, and he kept doing exercises last minute to make his good figure stand out.

Yesterday in Taipei through video conference, Wang Lee Hom accepted the media’s interview, and talked about him being spokesperson for Brand’s Chicken Essence. This interview is put up on Razor TV and STOMP website.

Before the interview, the reporters present first saw the commercial he filmed for the product. In the commercial, there’s a scene where he is half-naked and has a shirt draped over him. It is rare for Wang Lee Hom, who has always maintained a healthy image, to publicly reveal such a sexy side of him.

Wang Lee Hom laughed and said, “Before filming that scene, I did a lot of exercises. At that time, the director wishes I would reveal my upper body and I thought ‘Oh no, I need to do some push-up quickly!’ Ha!”

“I like the way this director films. This commercial used 2 days to film, so the graphics are quite rich. I personally like this commercial a lot, and am very happy that it would be broadcasted in Singapore. I just did the English dub for this commercial last week.”

Speaking about the ‘fate’ with Brand’s Chicken Essence, a few years ago fans sent Wang Lee Hom the Brand’s Chicken Essence and has thus made him discover the advantages of the drink, “I am always busy with my job, when tired, I will share it with all the working staff and we drink the Chicken Essence together.”

As a spokesperson, Wang Lee Hom’s attire yesterday was very “Brand”; green T-shirt with white jacket, and even his shoes are white.

Interaction with local music performers in April next year

Other than the commercial, Wang Lee Hom would be appearing in “BRAND’S Music Changes Live” concert at NUS University Cultural Centre in April next year.

The aim of the mentioned concert would be to discover local talented music performers; one of Singapore Idol’s judges, Ken Lin would be responsible in picking candidates and those who came in first four would be able to perform on stage together with Wang Lee Hom. To find out details, check out Stomp on the 1 December 2009.

A ‘date’ with Jackie Chan to watch movie

Recently, Wang Lee Hom has became good friends with Jackie Chan through their movie Big Soldiers, the two have even agreed to have a ‘date’ together to watch movie on Valentines’ Day.

Wang Lee Hom said that he is lately busy with his movie, world tour concerts and new album, and that his movie with Jackie Chan would come out in February next year on the Western Valentines’.

Who would Wang Lee Hom bring on Valentines’ to watch a movie with?

He joked, “Of course it’s Jackie Chan, it’s ‘hot’ enough just with the two of us!”

Actually, Wang Lee Hom is so busy to a point that he doesn’t even have the time to rest this Christmas, “I need to film movie, there’s no time to have a holiday. If the audience likes this movie after they’ve watched it, then it will be my best Christmas present.”

How the venerable PS2 made it to 9 years old

11/02/2009 11:07:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments

People always talk about dog years, or cat years, but what about video game console years?

It's hard to know what that math is, but one thing is certain: Sony's PlayStation 2 turned 9 years old Wednesday, and it sure feels like the best-selling video game console of all time has been around a whole lot longer than that.

Yet even though we're already more than three years into the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/Wii console generation, the PS2 is still going strong. Routinely, month after month, its sales are in six figures--146,000 in September in the United States alone, according to The NPD Group--and there's no reason to think the 485 (and counting) developers who have made games for the platform are going to stop any time soon.

In large part, that's because there are millions of people for whom the world-beating processing power of the PS3 and the Xbox 360, and the graphics-so-good-you-can-see-beads-of-sweat-on-sports-players'-bodies aren't worth paying several hundred dollars for. For $100, they say, you can get one heck of a good video game playing experience with a PS2.

It "still holds a place in my heart--there's so many great games with huge amounts of replay value," said Michael Steavenson, a public relations professional who bought his PS2 around 2001. "I'm not so interested in blazingly fast processing speeds, graphics that make games look like a movie, or uber-cutting-edge hardware stats. If the game is well-designed, fun to play, and provides me with a good emotional connection, I'll play it forever."

According to Sony, one out of every three U.S. households owns a PS2, and, worldwide, almost 140 million people have one. To date, Americans have bought more than half a billion PS2 games, and all told, nearly 10,000 titles have been released for the platform. Not bad for a machine that has earned the right to be living out its golden years sitting on a porch somewhere, smoking a cigar and grumbling about kids these days.

"I think we're all surprised that a piece of technology that was released 9 years ago is still popular today," said Jesse Divnich, a video games analyst at Electronic Entertainment Design and Research. "What is Moore's Law? That technology power doubles every 18 months. So in the technology realm, being able to survive 9 years is an incredible accomplishment that Sony should be proud of."

To Divnich, the most important element in the PS2's continued success is its overall value. The machine costs just $100 and includes a functional DVD player.

"If you took out the DVD player, this thing would not have survived as long as it (has)," Divnich said. "With most technology, (consoles) like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, what drove their initial success was that it was a game system. But after five years, what starts to drive sales is the system's ability to perform other functions. And with the PS2, it's a very affordable DVD player that's also a video game system. And of course, games are still being made for it, and retail continues to support it."

Divnich estimated that the PS2 contributes just about 4 percent of Sony's total video game-related revenues, and said he thinks that at a $100 retail cost, its profit margin is relatively small. "But the great thing about the PS2, and the reason why Sony continues to support it, is because it supports the Sony brand, and it can be a gateway to the PS3 or the (PlayStation Portable)....People who purchase a PS2 are more likely to purchase a PS3 in the future. Consumers, believe it or not, are pretty loyal."

Neither Sony nor Microsoft was able to immediately respond to requests for comment for this story. Nintendo had no comment.

Will the PS3 or Xbox 360 last 10 years?

For years, Sony has argued that its video game consoles have 10-year lifecycles. And given that the PS2 is still selling fairly well at 9, there's no reason to doubt that it will make it to 10, and possibly beyond.

The PS3, however, is just 3 years old, and would have to survive another 7 years to reach the 10-year mark. Similarly, Nintendo's Wii is also 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 is just 4. So will any of those consoles survive as long as the PS2?

Divnich thinks so. "Yes, the PS3 will be a 10-year system," he said, adding that the Xbox will as well, "just because of its size and its software library."

Still, he seems certain that just as a new generation of consoles came out in the middle of the PS2's lifecycle, history will repeat itself.

"I don't think this generation is going to last nine years" without being supplanted by new consoles," Divnich said. "There are certainly going to be new platforms introduced within the next four years. (But) even when that happens, the pricing of the PS3 and the Xbox 360 will certainly be attractive."

PS2 owners love their consoles

Even if that does happen, it's years off. The PS2, however, has already reached the 9-year milestone, and its 10th birthday is within view. And to hear from some of the millions of people who own one of the machines, it's no surprise.

"I love my PS2 for multiple reasons," said Garth Henson, a Web developer from Port Orchard, Wash. "One (is that) it lets me have a myriad of game selections that fall specifically in line with my tastes for under $20 each. I have yet to have a current-gen console do that for me....It's still such a solid system, both in titles and in game play, that it's hard to consider getting rid of it....As with all things gaming, to those of us who actually get hooked on a system, it's incredibly hard to let it go while there is any semblance of attention paid to it by current developers and publishers."

Some people even hold on to their PS2s largely because of the fun they have playing a single game on it. A lot of people will cite how much time they spend on their PS2 playing titles like Dance Dance Revolution or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but the Katamari Damacy franchise may be what keeps real aficionados returning again and again to their ancient Sony consoles.

"I still play We Love Katamari on mine," said Wiley Wiggins, an actor best known for his starring roles in the films "Dazed and Confused" and "Waking Life." "None of the handful of games that are (only for) PS3 have been enough to make me think of dropping another couple hundred dollars to buy a new console. Blu-ray isn't compelling enough to me."

Or, as another PS2 fan, Princeton architecture Ph.D. student Enrique Ramirez, put it, "The only reason why I would switch consoles would be to play Rock Band. But I already have four guitars in my apartment, so, in short, I'm staying with my PS2."

2PM to reveal comeback plans

11/02/2009 11:06:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

2PM recently wrapped up filming for their new music video without Jaebeom. Although Hottests are extremely anxious as to what JYPE has up their sleeves due to the countdown timer on 2PM's official homepage (2pm.jype.com), as of now there has been no news regarding the return of the former leader.


With that said, when we set our clocks to Korea time, it is reading that there is a little under 7 hours left. Furthermore, at the end of the countdown, the clock seems to stop at 1:59PM - eluding to something.

We reached out to JYPE today to seek information regarding the 2PM countdown timer. Unfortunately the JYPE representative was not able to comment.

According to Newsen, 2PM will release a song(s) from their first full length album on November 2nd @ 3pm (Korea) and will reveal their full comeback plans on the 3rd at a press conference.

It's also been revealed that Jaebeom's tracks that were recorded prior to him leaving, will remain in the album.

Stay tuned as we continuously monitor to bring you more details on 2PM's comeback.

Inside the Motorola Droid, an iPhone likeness

11/02/2009 11:06:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Though the Motorola Droid and Apple iPhone have different chassis, their high-octane engines are similar.

The internal similarities begin with performance: both devices are fast. The iPhone 3GS is already distinguished for its speed. And the Droid is quickly garnering similar accolades.

"The Droid makes a big leap in internal performance. Compared with its rather sluggish Android predecessors," CNET Reviews said, citing the speed at which the Droid opens applications and menus and scrolls through lists and switches display screens.

"We're really pumped to see all the industry excitement it's created," said Jeff Dougan, the OMAP 3 product marketing manager at Texas Instruments, which supplies the OMAP 3430 processor that powers the Droid. "This is the first handset that truly realizes the full potential of Android," he said, referring to Google's Android 2.0 operating system that runs on the Droid phone.

The TI processor, like the one in the iPhone, is based on an a new architecture called Cortex-A8 from U.K.-based chip design house ARM, whose wide variety of chips populate most of the world's cell phones. Dougan says most smartphones currently on the market use an older, lower-performance ARM architecture than the Cortex-A8--with the exception of the Palm Pre, which opted for the newer TI chip. The Cortex-A8 provides a "two to three times performance boost" over older architectures, according to Dougan.

Max Baron, an analyst at Microprocessor Report, says the chips in the Droid and the iPhone (see not below) are so alike that differences are more dependent on the operating systems the two chips use and how successfully each phone maker optimizes the OS. "With chips that have near-similar specs, the optimum OS and the look-and-feel of the user interface may make or break the product," Baron said.

"The caveat, however, is that even small differences in chips will surface and become important differentiators as soon as the market forces you to increase the screen size or add more pixels per screen, or execute more power-consuming applications," he added.

The raw MHz ratings on the chips are slightly different. The processor in the iPhone 3GS--which is believed to be based on the Samsung S5PC100 processor--runs at 600MHz, according to most accounts. The Motorola Droid's TI chip is rated at 550MHz though theoretically it can be run as fast as 600MHz, according to TI's Dougan.

Both phones also use PowerVR graphics from Imagination Technologies--a company that both Apple and Intel have invested in, testifying to how hot its ultramobile graphics technology is. The PowerVR SGX is renowned for its ability to process several million triangles-per-second--a key indicator of graphics chip performance--blowing away other phones and the previous version of the iPhone.

Other internal specifications are similar between the two phones, including memory capacity (either 16GB or 32GB) and communications chips that offer 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections.

So, internally the Droid is every bit the iPhone's equal. And future versions of TI OMAP 3 chips that may appear in upcoming Droids will be backed by formidable ecosystems, according to Baron. "Investments in application software may lean more toward the TI components," said Baron, given TI's strong support of the entire chip ecosystem, including auxiliary chips and software development tools.

Note:: Apple's and Samsung's reluctance to release information about the processor used in the iPhone 3GS has made it difficult to determine if the chip is based on the Samsung S5PC100, according to the Microprocessor Report's Baron. Many iPhone 3GS reviews and teardowns, however, state explicitly that the iPhone's processor is essentially the Samsung S5PC100 processor.

Da S & Show Luo walk the runway wearing couple outfits

11/02/2009 11:04:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Yesterday, Da S (Barbie Hsu) & Show Luo walked the runway together, hand-in-hand, to show off the new season of jeans in which they both endorse. After many years of collaboration together, the 2 had full tacit understanding, and showed off a dozen couple shirts, pleasing the audience offstage.


Having recently returned from mainland China, Taiwan’s temperature remained the same at 30 degrees. In the hot weather, the 2 also had to wear thick jackets on the runway, and they suffered quite a lot. However, their tacit understanding was excellent, and fully displayed their professionalism


Recently, Nicholas Tse publicly announced that Cecilia Chung is already 2 months pregnant. Da S expressed that earlier, when she met with Cecilia to have lunch, she had the feeling that she was pregnant. Now that they have publicly announced the good news, Da S feels very happy for them both, and offered her congratulations.

New Sony Ericsson Rachael UI video hits, still looks nothing like Android

11/02/2009 11:00:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments



Calling this Rachael UI an Android "skin" is like calling Windows 95 a "DOS skin," but that's not to say there's nothing to love about it. In fact, we're rather relieved that Sony Ericsson seems to be addressing Android's incredibly lackluster media playback interface, the SE "mediascape" version of which dominates this particular video -- a sequel to the first Rachael UI tease we got back in July. You know what else is great? The video title name drops the same luscious screen resolution as the DROID, 480 x 854, which spells all sorts of good things for SE's first Android entry. Video is after the break, and if that doesn't do the trick for you, the Rachael hardware is being teased over on this end of the internet.

FT.triple members, who started their unit group’s activities recently, were unable to hide their awkwardness and burden feel.

11/02/2009 10:58:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

FT.triple met up with a reporter at KBS 2TV Music Bank on 30th October and said that, “We’re doing activities with only 3 members. We feel that something is lacking and we’re awkward. Without the team’s most cheerful member Lee Hongki and Song Seunghyun, we feel even much that way.”

FT.triple is a unit group formed by FT Island members Choi Jonghoon, Choi Minhwan and Lee Jaejin. Lee Hongki is currently busy with the filming of SBS Wed-Thu drama “You’re Beautiful” and Song Seunghyun is also making lots of appearance on various variety programmes.

FT.triple expressed that, “We have different parts now and our individual loads are heavier, so we feel the burden. Without having to worry for Lee Hongki and Song Seunghyun who are doing well in their own activities right now, FT.triple will work harder too.”

FT.triple is currently promoting “Love Letter“.

Sunday idol drama battle begins; bed scene vs. kiss scene vs. passionate scene!

11/02/2009 10:57:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , 0 Comments

Rainie Yang & Cyndi Wang’s competition for the ‘sweetheart’ throne has been going on for many years now. Tonight, Rainie’s CTS drama ‘Hi My Sweetheart’ will enter the idol drama battle, competing against Cyndi’s ‘Momo Love’. The competition is about to get even more intense!

Ady An & Vanness Wu haven’t returned to the idol drama market for a long time but their recent SETTV drama ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ has been doing very well. Last week, they achieved 4.02% in ratings, easily claiming the first place position. And it seems they have left Rainie & Cyndi to battle it out for second place.

However ‘Autumn’s Concerto’ isn’t taking their new competitor lightly. Tonight, they will be airing a hot bed scene, to compete against the 2 sweethearts. Coincidentally, both ‘Hi My Sweetheart’ & ‘Momo Love’ also have kiss scenes airing in tonight’s episodes; it seems that all 3 idol dramas are using passionate scenes to face the battle.

‘Autumn’s Concerto’ will broadcast Vanness & Ady’s bed scene tonight. Vanness said: “This is a beautiful, romantic & passionate scene.” Ady laughed saying: “I’ve never filmed such a scene before with any guy; my face was bright red & my heart was beating very fast.” Ady even had to drink a lot of beer before filming!

Cyndi Wang hasn’t appeared in many of their drama promotional events but yesterday, she finally appeared at a fan event for GTV’s ‘Momo Love’. She & Jiro Wang played a game of feeding ice-cream while blindfolded with fans, and attracted the screams of over 300 female fans. Tonight, ‘Momo Love’ will air a kiss scene where Cyndi sees Jiro kissing another girl, and in the spur of the moment, she shaves all her hair off to become a nun.

After Show Luo & Rainie Yang sorted out their differences in the past, they also have many kiss scenes in ‘Hi My Sweetheart’. In tonight’s first episode, Show falls into a lake in Hang Zhou and takes a whole mouthful of water and water plants. After filming that scene, he had to drink 2 big bottles of mineral water to gargle his mouth. Show said that that day, he saw many people having barbecues beside the lake: “Luckily I only ate some water plants, and not someone’s half-bitten tempura or meat piece they threw into the water, that would be so disgusting ah.”

And after Rainie jumps into the lake to save Show, she had to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and she complained: “Your mouth has a muddy flavour, it’s like I’m giving mouth-to-mouth to a tilapia!
