Lady Gaga Shatters Glass, Braves Flames At American Music Awards

11/23/2009 11:52:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Singer does all her own stunts during daring performance.

If you weren't aware of the fact that Lady Gaga's performances tend to be rather, well, over the top, her Sunday night (November 22) showcase at the American Music Awards certainly did the trick.

Gaga brought the audience to its feet with a fiery, fierce performance of a pair of songs from her upcoming The Fame Monster album (don't call it a reissue) that saw her dance, strut, smash and very nearly suffer third-degree burns to her lower extremities.



You know, all in a night's work.

Gaga started things off with "Bad Romance," wearing a glittering, H.R. Geiger-inspired headpiece and a nude bodysuit, flanked by six pansexual dancers who cavorted and whirled around her. She belted out the high notes, then cast the headpiece aside to get down to some herky-jerky dance moves (no doubt inspired by the "Romance" video), then collapsed to the floor while her dancers crawled behind her.

Suddenly, the music stopped, the crowd squealed with delight and Gaga smiled. The she grabbed her mic stand, walked over to her piano (which was encased in glass) and proceeded to smash her way inside.

Surrounded by shards of glass, she straddled the piano bench and began playing the opening refrain of the somber "Speechless," all while her piano erupted in flames. Unfazed, she kept playing as a pair of gas-mask wearing violinists (also encased in glass) added accompaniment.

As the song reached its crescendo, Gaga grabbed for a slew of bottles and, to add to each stab of the violin, she smashed them on the piano. The crowd whooped with delight.

The song ended with Gaga striking a pose, her piano still flaming, her body covered in pieces of glass. Naturally, she got a standing ovation. Amazingly, she wasn't seriously injured.

Rihanna Electrifies American Music Awards With 'Wait Your Turn' And 'Hard'

11/23/2009 11:52:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

It's been more than 10 months since Rihanna missed her scheduled performance at February's Grammy Awards due to her assault at the hands of then boyfriend Chris Brown. But on Sunday night (November 22) at the American Music Awards, the singer stormed back in style, working out two of the singles from her new album, Rated R, which hits stores on Monday.

In keeping with the dark vibe of the photos and videos she's released from the album so far, Rihanna's performance led off with a sci-fi themed clip featuring an ominous voiceover that intoned, "Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who are easily frightened, we suggest you turn away now. To those of you who think they can take it, we say: Welcome to the madhouse," a seeming homage to Vincent Price's cackling narration of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. The opening video sequence featured images of a woman strapped to a medical table with shiny instruments covering her privates, as a team of blue ghost figures implanted a series of computer chips into her body while she sprang to life, Frankenstein style.

With a silver mask removed, the figure was revealed to be Rihanna and the camera panned to the stage, where the singer was strapped into a X-shaped rigging, her arms and legs splayed as the thrum of her single "Wait Your Turn" filled the air. The lights came up and Rihanna sang the deadpan first line, "I pitch with a grenade," with one hand freed from her S&M-like device. Also in keeping with the fetish-style outfits she's been wearing lately, Rihanna was decked out in a neck-to-ankles, skin-tight white catsuit bisected by cut-out lines that revealed horizontal bits of flesh across her body, and topped off with spike-studded shoulder pads, white studded wristcuffs and a barbed-wire bracelet snaking up her right forearm.

As dancers with white shotguns swirled around and a nest of TV sets behind her displayed static, Rihanna stepped down from the cross and strutted amid towers of flames shooting up from the stage. Backed by an industrial rock group that resembled a Nine Inch Nails tribute band and holding a Freddie Mercury-style half-microphone stand, she burned into her Young Jeezy collabo, "Hard," dropping the line "the hottest sh-- in heels right here," while putting her high-heeled white vinyl boots up on a vintage TV prop as proof.

With lasers searching the air, the lights dimmed and red tracer beams shot out of the studs on her shoulder pads and the song ended with a group of backup dancers wearing plexiglass boxes on their heads over gas masks and wielding the aforementioned firearms took aim while Rihanna raised her arms in triumph and a voice warned: "Rihanna's reign ain't gonna let up."


Will Chrome OS Lead to More Powerful Win7 Netbooks?

11/23/2009 11:52:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , , , 0 Comments

Netbooks running Windows 7 could perform better, but Microsoft won't let them. With Chrome OS coming, Redmond may lose its ability to cripple low-cost portables.

Chrome OS may lead to higher-performance netbooks, but many of them will not be running Google's next-generation operating system.

Why? Because Chrome OS could force Microsoft to stop crippling netbooks to avoid competition with more expensive notebooks.

Blame Microsoft for all those 10.1-inch screens, underpowered Atom processors, skimpy 1GB of memory, 160GB hard drives, and the not-very-good user experience on netbooks running Windows XP.

On newer netbooks, blame Redmond for Windows 7 Starter Edition. It will neither play a DVD nor join a domain. Starter Edition users also cannot customize their desktops, which lack the Aero look-and-feel. And the crippling 1GB memory limit remains.

Starter Edition has already been criticized as "too wimpy" for netbooks and a survey finds potential users do not want it on their new machines. Barely introduced, Starter Edition has already started to smell like Windows ME, which itself bears a stinch much like Windows Vista. See a pattern of much-hated operating systems here?

Microsoft has used its power to force netbook manufacturers to cripple their netbooks. This worked when Microsoft was the only game in town, but with Chrome OS due to arrive in about a year, Microsoft needs a new game plan.

Microsoft very much wants to keep netbooks from being used in corporate accounts. If it can force you and I to opt for a more expensive notebook or at least an $80 upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, that is a win for Redmond, too.

However, by next Thanksgiving, I will be able to choose a blazing fast--to hear Google describe it--netbook running Chrome OS. It will not be able to do everything Win7 does, but it will compare favorably with Starter Edition, and would seem to be friendlier for online media.

The reason this matters to both Microsoft and users is simple: Money.

Selling a netbook for $300 does not allow manufacturers to pay Microsoft as much for the operating system the sale of a $1,000 notebook does. Thus, Microsoft has an interest in limiting netbook performance so customers will instead buy more expensive notebooks.

Users, of course, want inexpensive, powerful computers. Netbooks are popular for just that reason, but could be more popular if they weren't intentionally held back, performance-wise.

By continuing to limit netbook performance, Microsoft will force Windows 7 netbooks, essentially, to take on Google Chrome OS from a self-imposed position of weakness.

Microsoft's should allow manufacturers to create the very best Windows 7 netbooks they can, ahead of Chrome OS' arrival.

If Redmond improves netbook performance, potential Chrome customers may realize that a fully functional operating system ultimately beats one that may be fast, but is also brain dead (as in unable to run the apps users want or need).

Microsoft's limit on netbook performance is bad news for customers. If the company fails to change, Microsoft deserves whatever punishment Chrome OS can deliver. I'm betting change is in the wind.

TVXQ will appear together in Japan

11/23/2009 11:51:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

TVXQ/DBSK is going to appear on Japanese television with all five members together. It will be their first public appearance together in almost 3 months, since they have not been seen together after their Osaka concert which happened on August 30th.


They will appear on Nihon TV's "Best Hit Music Award 2009" on coming 26th and Fuji TV's "FNS Music Award" on December 2nd. They are also planning on attending NHK's "Red White Kohaku" and "Japan Record Awards". Members will soon part for Japan in order to plan their schedules for these end of year ceremonies.

Although Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu are legally independent of SM Entertainment now, they are still bound to AVEX, their Japanese management. As long as their contract with AVEX stands, they are to carry on with their Japanese schedules. Will they really appear as one TVXQ on these shows, and will there be any performances?

New Moon Top Weekend Box Office: "Yes, Off Course"

11/23/2009 11:51:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It was big. It was bigger than expected. It was record-setting. But more on the new Sandra Bullock movie later.

New Moon will close out its remarkable debut weekend with an estimated $140.7 million, its studio reported today.

"I dare say in all the office pools, I don't think anyone had near this top gross," Summit Entertainment distribution president Richie Fay said.

The towering take makes the Twilight sequel the third-biggest opener in Hollywood history. Or, to put it in a way that will appease vampire-dismissing superhero boosters: Yes, The Dark Knight's opening-weekend mark is safe; and, yes, Spider-Man 3's second-place slot is secure.

But, get over your spandex-supporting selves because New Moon sucked up its own share of records:

• Biggest November opening ever, flying past Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's $102.7 million;

• Biggest opening two-day gross ever ($115.9 million Friday-Saturday), edging The Dark Knight's $114.8 million start;

• And all the previously reported rest: Biggest opening day ever ($67.2 milion); biggest single day ever (ditto); biggest midnight showing ever ($26.3 million).

About the only thing New Moon didn't do was, yes, claim the opening-weekend crown.

Even though New Moon made more money in its first two days than The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3, the superhero movies scored bigger Sundays. Per Summit's projections, New Moon will gross $24.8 million today, versus The Dark Knight's $43.6 million Sunday and Spider-Man 3's $39.9 million Sunday.

At this point, it's worth taking a step back, and remembering that prior to Friday's eye-popping midnight take, nobody was calling for New Moon to even make a serious run at The Dark Knight. "I don't think we ever thought we could break their record," Fay said.

Some more New Moon factoids:

• The Twilight franchise is growing on guys. The first movie's opening weekend audience was comprised of about 17-18 percent males; New Moon's XY-contingent hit 20 percent. Said Fay: "This time around, the young boys figured out it's not too bad to be dragged along by their dates to see this movie."

• As expected, teens and tweens did not alone make New Moon. Half the audience was over age 21.

• As expected, movie reviews were meaningless. The film's critic-driven Rotten Tomatoes score was a lowly 29 percent; its audience-driven Cinema Score grade was a lofty A-minus.

• Internationally, New Moon grossed $118.1 million, bringing its three-day, worldwide total to $258 million.

• New Moon is already the 15th top-grossing movie of the year. Of that group, it is one of only five movies to not cost at least $100 million.

• New Moon covered its $50 million budget by Friday night.

As for the franchise's future, Eclipse, the third Twilight movie, is set to be released next June. Breaking Dawn, the fourth Twilight movie, will be released… Or announced… Well, when exactly?

"We are negotiating with Stephenie Meyer the best we can," Fay said, "and we're well along."

Does the exec think the franchise author will take a look at this weekend's New Moon grosses, and say, "So, now what are you going to pay me?"

Fay laughed. Then he said, "We feel fairly confident we can get this done."

Elsewhere, in non-New Moon box-office news (and, yes, there was some):

• The Blind Side, aka the new Bullock movie, was its own kind of big, with the football weepy grossing $34.5 million, the most ever for a sports drama, per Box Office Mojo stats. And, yes, that includes every Rocky movie ever made.

• Even more impressive, The Blind Side was the biggest-opening Bullock movie ever, topping even the star's summer hit, The Proposal.

• No, Planet 51 didn't cost a bajillion dollars like some CGI comedies, but it did cost a reported $60 million, and it didn't come close to impressing with a fourth-place, $12.6 million debut.

• Impressing is what Precious ($11 million; $21.4 million overall) keeps doing. Theater for theater, the Oscar hopeful made more money than any Top 10 film, save New Moon.

• Penélope Cruz's Broken Embraces ($107,597 at two theaters) and Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox ($199,142 at four theaters) were actually both bigger than New Moon—in per-screen average.

• Michael Jackson's This Is It ($1.6 million; $70.2 million overall) slipped from the Top 10 after a three-weekend stay, which isn't bad considering it was only supposed to play two weekends.

• Also departing the Top 10: the superhuman Paranormal Activity ($1.4 million; $106.1 million overall); and, the super-dud The Box ($505,000; $14.5 million overall, per Box Office Mojo).

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

1. The Twilight Saga: New Moon, $140.7 million
2. The Blind Side, $34.5 million
3. 2012, $26.5 million
4. Planet 51, $12.6 million
5. Disney's A Christmas Carol, $12.2 million
6. Precious, $11 million
7. The Men Who Stare at Goats, $2.8 million
8. Couples Retreat, $2 million
9. The Fourth Kind, $1.7 million
10. Law Abiding Citizen, $1.6 million

DaS lowest times : no will to eat

11/23/2009 11:50:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

People say, life is like a roller coaster, Xu Xi Yuan (DaS) the actress who just brightly succeeded in a movie which box-office made more than 100 Millions Yuan, is standing on the top of her career and recollecting her past, she once experienced her career's and life's lowest points, her frail heart, went through its darkest, in the end she got anorexia, everyday not feeling hunger at all... But her love life was totally the opposite, she loved passionately, not minding what others might say, even when she broke up, she still looked at it positively, she is one who can take it up and put it down !

Starting to get noticed since "Connected", DaS slowly expanded to the big screen, accepting one movie after the other, and even succeeded with her first comedy "Forbidden City Cop" to become a 100 Million box-office female star. With the help of luck, her road into the big screen world was really smooth, DaS stated that she was also very surprised herself, from the success of "Forbidden City Cop", there really were a lot of scripts asking for her, and her acting opportunities dramatically increased.

Acting as a role with a personality opposed to hers

But, holding onto the moto "You'll never know if you don't try", DaS likes to challenge herself with personalities opposite to her, chosing roles that would surprise the audience, like her participation in Jonh Woo's new movie, being her first experience as a vilain. She's acting as a cold-blooded and heartless woman and will have many fight and kill scenes even action scene with international star Michelle Yeoh, making DaS at the same time anxious and expectant. To be able to cope with all those action scenes, DaS had been training a lot lately at home, reinforcing her legs and arms muscles, and learning swords skills with a master. She, who is very experienced in yoga, said about herself that she was very flexible, even joked : " With my sister, we often take the horse pose and chat while lifting our legs up; so I knew about it already, and had less kung fu to learn. I will give it my all learning everything I need to know, and doing everything the best possible, when the time comes, we will only use a stunt if the action scenes are really bad, but the director can also cut them off, no need to fight la ! "


DaS frankly expressed that she is at the summit of her carreer, so for the time being, she'll focus on developping in the Big Screen, leaving hosting and other things on hold.

Troubles because she strongly wanted to express herself

On the outside, DaS seem multi talented, singing, movies, TV dramas, hosting, endorsement, even being an author, : she touches at everything, but behind all that success, DaS had once been through her career and life lowest pits. She stated that it all came from a too strong sense of justice, everytime she used to encounter an injustice, she'll voice it up and seeing all the bystanders around her doing nothing made her feel the world was different from what she imagined, that's why she had once wanted to be a policewoman, it was really overreacted.

DaS said that everytime she was unhappy, her brain would come like to a dead end, often forgetting to eat, even to sleep, her sister used to force her to close her eyes. She says " I used to forget that there was something called "eating" in life, at that time, we couldn't do music, and even though we had some shows to host, but it was a really low pit, I was not used yet to handle the turns that life would take, it had nothing to do with things being smooth or not, it was as if a devil appeared in my heart, making me see everything the bad way, forgetting how it used to be. (Did you have anorexia ? ) Yes, I lost 12Kg in one go, never feeling hungry" Luckily, with the help of her family and friends, DaS could slowly go back to normal.


No fate knowing people outside the entertainment industry

About love, DaS past lover were all from the enteertainment industry, about that fact, she came to the conclusion that the people she knows is a very restricted circle, apart from her work and her family, she has no way to meet people out of those two areas She joked " People often ask me if I like to date co workers ? I think me not having a broad circle of friends is also a matter destiny, and people tell me to go out more often to meet new people out of the show business, but I won't change myself for something like that."

DaS revealed that in the past, going out with co-workers didn't put any pressure on her, it became a habit for her to be discussed about, tagged and photographed, she who puts love above everything else thinks that when you are in love, there's no need to hide it, but after cooling down, recollecting what happened in the past, she feels that it's really freaky, thinking that she had lots of guts ! DaS says " Was too transparent, I thought over it, in the future, if an opportunity coomes up, I may be more low keyed, because letting people staring at you, looking at your every gestures, is something that make people uneasy. I'm a very peaceful person, so when arriving to a state when you can't continue to go out together, no need to end it hurtfully. We all work in the same sphere, we might meet again, so having a friendly attittude will make everyone happier"


Deep sisterly love : love to say nonsense the most

Since debuting as singers to hosting entertainment news, DaS and her sister Dee Xu Xi Di (Xia S) had been linked together like siamese twins. Thinking back about the little things that happened when they hosted together, DaS can't help but shake her head saying : "I used to be very wild, daring to say anything, not afraid to get scolded at. When we were walking on the streets, there used to be people behind always scolding us. We loved to say nonsense, really stupid things, we were used to that style, then the audience slowly accepted us, thinking we were hilarious ! "

Once, 8 years ago, XiaoS was on the show crying her eyes out, asking the audience to help her look for her sister, DaS laughs and says " At that time we were broadcaasting Live everyday, so whatever was happening, we had to go on and host. That day, I don't really remember but maybe I got into a fight with my sister, when I was outside, everyone seeing me told me "Your sis is looking for you !" making the whole thing such a big deal ! "

Lady Gaga: Best New Artist-eligible?

Grammy president on Lady Gaga: Rule change could make her eligible for Best New Artist

The window hasn’t completely shut on Lady Gaga’s chances for a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist, Grammy president Neil Portnow revealed to EW on the American Music Awards red carpet tonight. While Variety reported last week that Gaga is ineligible for the prize because her hit “Just Dance” was already nominated for Best Dance Recording last year, we asked Portnow if the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences might consider a rule change to let the year’s biggest breakout act compete for the prestigious prize. “Yes,” Portnow said. “The awards and nominations committee meets to review the rules every year. We change the rules frequently. We recognize that situation is not perfect, and we are looking at ways to figure it out.”

Has Twitter peaked?

11/23/2009 11:50:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

I was just sending a tweet about some excellent chicken livers I'd eaten when I espied some information that made my acid perform a refluctive motion.

According to eMarketer, three different digital actuaries declared that Twitter traffic has performed a slight plummet.

While comScore suggested a drop of 8.1 percent in October and Compete estimated 2.1 percent, while Nielsen, that apogee of accuracy, declared a 27.8 percent decline between September and October.

It seems that these figures, blessedly inconsistent as they are, are not taking account of all the third-party and mobile methods of keeping everyone up with your eating, drinking, reading, philosophizing and socializing.

But is it also possible that some people will simply never participate in the Twitter phenomenon, finding it either annoying, uncool, or even too much effort?

With Twitter intent on becoming more businesslike (why does the word 'more' seem slightly redundant here?), 2010 seems destined to be the year that the microblogging service becomes either de rigueur or dazed and confused.

Will Twitter become a permanent habit or a disappearing, perhaps even elitist, fad? I'll tweet Nostradamus and ask him.

You didn't know Nostradamus is on Twitter? Where have you been?

BoA’s 7th album is cancelled

11/23/2009 11:49:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

It has been less than two weeks since we reported that BoA will be involved in producing her 7th album. However, it seems like it will be difficult to listen to any tracks from her 7th album anytime soon.

Fans all over the world are puzzled and shocked by e-mails from CDJapan, one of the many Japanese retailers of her upcoming album.

The e-mail reads:

"Dear XX,

I'm sending you this email to let you know that we just received an update
from the Avex informing us that the release of the CD below will be
cancelled, unfortunately.

UNTITLED [CD+DVD / Jacket A]
BoA
Release Date: 2010/01/13
Catalog Number: AVCD-23970

No details about the reason for cancellation has been provided.

At this time, there is no indication to show whether or not it might be
released at a later time in the future.

Therefore, it needed to be cancelled from your order **************.

Please write back to this email in case our assistance is needed.

Thank you so much for shopping at CDJapan.

CDJapan"

According to the e-mail, BoA's 7th Japanese album has been cancelled without even an indication of its release on a later date. Does this mean that we may never hear tracks BoA, herself, co-produced?

SM Entertainment seriously needs to make a come back. First, the TVXQ controversy, and now the cancellation of BoA's album? Maybe this rumored boy-band will mark SM's comeback into the limelight.

Modern Warfare 2 hits 10 million units sold

11/23/2009 11:49:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

VGChartz reported last week that around 8.6 million units of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 were sold in the first week (five days of sales) after selling around 6.4 million units on the first day. As many should have predicted from this ratio of day one to week one sales, week two saw an enormous dropoff of around 80%. This puts week two sales at around 1.7 million units - more than many games sell in their first week - and takes total sales to date over 10 million units in just twelve days of release.

With five weeks of the year left, VGChartz estimates that total sales for 2009 should hit around 14.5 million units by December 31st and should position Modern Warfare 2 as the number 1 seller on PS3 and number 2 on Xbox 360 (behind Halo 3) - with just 7 weeks of sales.

Zaizai hairs out to copy "Ah Jia"

11/23/2009 11:48:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

"Zaizai" Vic Zhou Yu Min refused a New Year's Eve apparition that would have earned him about 5 Millions NTD to dedicate himself for the movie "Love you for 10.000 years", two nights ago, our newspaper spotted him with "chubby version of Bianca Bai" 加藤侑紀(Yuki Gato) filming together at the WuRi distillery, his look in this movie as a rocker also got exposed, bearded and with a hedgehog head, it is very different from his usual clean and handsome Idol look, from afar, he looked like Van Fan's "Ah Jia" from "Cape N°7".


Beard, hedgehog head, complete copy of "Ah Jia"

Zaizai in "Love You For 10.000 years" will act as a spiritless rocker, his look was quite rough. Very late two nights ago, we spotted him filming at a distillery, bearded, with a hedgehog head holding a guitar case, and wearing old torn jeans, a very "rocker" look ; as he got out of the break room, to start working, from afar, we could swear it was Van Fan's "Ah Jia" getting out from "Cape N°7 " ready to act in the sequel.

New movie will be a comedy, wants to become Taiwanese Stephen Chow


"Love" movie plot is about "a japanese girl who comes to Taiwan to work and a Taiwanese rocker..." the movie's female lead, 加藤侑紀(Yuki Gato) has also the same feeling as Chie Tanaka from "Cape N° 7" ; however "Love" movie will be a comedy, Zaizai coincidentally had the dream to become "Taiwanese Stephen Chow", he said he really wanted to act in a comedy, preferably with senseless humor like Chow's. Looks like when Zaizai said he wanted to be an "elite cowboy", the next thing was a comic.

Using the same room, not playing big shot

Zaizai first filmed in the distillery with the female lead, but because Yuki looked like a bigger Bianca Bai, many people mistook her for Bianca. Even though the two are in love in the movie, as soon as he heard "Cut" Zaizai immediatly jerked away, if not talking with the support cast, then he'd go to the break room. We also discovered that Zaizai and all the other cast members were using the same room, he did not for a seperate one, being very easygoing.

Courteney Cox's "Family Matter" Shuts Down Cougar Town

Cougar Town fans are waiting with bated breath to find out if Jules Cobb can lock down a younger man. But some real-life drama involving star Courteney Cox is going to keep that cliffhanger hanging a little longer.

"We can confirm production on Cougar Town has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter," ABC said in a statement Saturday.

A network rep declined to elaborate, and there was no immediate word on the nature of the problem from Cox's personal publicist.

Feels nice when a company keeps its promises, doesn't it? Nintendo said it'd have the newly bulked up DSi LL out in Japan for November 21, and shockingly enough that's exactly what's happened. Eager Japanese upgraders have today gotten their mitts on the 4.2-inch (both screens, of course) device, while similarly inclined European and American Nintendo lovers are once again left to envy from afar. Their helping of jumbo DSi, to be known as the XL, will be showing up some time in the first quarter of 2010, long after bragging rights and gift-giving holiday occasions have passed. We're not sure whether to consider it consolation or cruelty, but you'll find a gallery containing close-ups of the new machine Here.

Tavia Yeung turned into Kam Ling and drove through red lights

11/23/2009 11:47:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Tavia Yeung who did a lot of bad deeds to harm peoples in new series turned into Kam Ling yesterday. She led the reporters to drive through the red traffic lights and willing to pay for HK$600 penalization and receive deduction of 5 marks. At the end, she brought harm to herself instead of other peoples.

Tavia Yeung portrayed as villain role for the first time in “Beyond The Realm Of Conscience”. She was praised for her strong development in her role and can even compete with hot favourite for Best Actress, Sheren Tang and Charmaine Sheh. However, situation which is good for her suddenly turns bad recently. She was criticized of being not evil enough in the series. Therefore, there are rumours that there are internal arrangements and TVB wants to give the award to Charmaine Sheh instead.

Kiss Charmaine Sheh generously

Yesterday, Tavia Yeung, Charmaine Sheh, Kevin Cheng, Moses Chan etc went for a promotional event for the series. When mentioned about the rumours that there are internal arrangements that TVB wants to give the awards to good sister, Charmaine Sheh, Tavia Yeung expressed that she will not feel disappointed. She will even rush over to kiss her immediately. “Now it is Ah Sheh’s turn? Actually never mind. Every awards presentation will have such rumours. Nobody knows whether there are such arrangements or not. But I’m voting for Sheren Tang. After that, Tavia Yeung grasped Ah Sheh tightly and pretended to kiss her to pose for a photo together.

However after the event, Tavia Yeung suddenly turned into Kam Ling. She went back to company to take her own car and prepared to drive home. On the way at Bo Yi Street, Tavia Yeung stopped at green traffic lights. Although she knew that there were reporters following her but she still stopped there without any movements. After that, when the traffic light turned yellow, she suddenly speeded her car and drove through the red lights to leave a trap for the reporters. At the end, both Tavia Yeung and the reporters’ speeding photos were taken and they were being penalized for HK$600 and deduction of 5 marks.

Vanness Wu Bares Chest Again For Boxing Scene

11/23/2009 11:47:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

After taking his shirt off for idol drama “Autumn’s Concerto”, Vanness Wu will be showcasing his bare chest for his upcoming boxing scene. Punching a thirty kilogram punching bag and wiping off torrents of sweat on the spot, Vanness takes on a vicious look that resembles the scary devil kid from “The Grudge.”

Even though he takes on a ruthless appearance, whenever Vanness takes off his shirt, it becomes a hot topic and boosts ratings. This time, Vanness strips down to his waist for his boxing scene, which pleases the female employees on location. Asked how he keeps in shape, Vanness replied that he doesn’t have a problem going to the workout room, and takes advantage of his schedule break to do intense push-ups and swim for an hour each day.

Vanness feels right at home in this boxing scene from a previous role in the movie “Star Runner”, so he often trains on a punching bag at his company. For this “next” scene, Vanness picks up the same punching bag to use, but it takes more than half the time to put the punching bag up. After spending two hours filming for the scene, Vanness is quite drained.
