Oksana Grigorieva's spokesperson is lashing out at Mel Gibson's camp, claiming his client is the victim of a smear campaign.Spokesperson Stephen Jaffe tells TMZ, "While Mr. Gibson's camp has floated a variety of false claims in the press to try to distract the public from the true facts at hand, it is telling that his camp has not once denied that it is Mr. Gibson's voice on the published recordings."
Jaffe adds, "It is common in such cases for those who perpetrate domestic violence to vilify the victim of that domestic violence. One would hope that those who are close to Mr. Gibson would take a more constructive approach."
Jaffe is partly reacting to a TMZ story which cited an expert who claimed there was evidence Oksana's injuries were self-inflicted.
Another expert familiar with the case tells TMZ, "It is obvious not only from the photograph of Ms. Grigorieva, but from other evidence, including Mr. Gibson's own admission, that he struck her in the mouth and temple, that she sustained injuries as a result of his blows. The notion that her wounds were 'self-inflicted' is ridiculous and not credible. No legitimate, independent expert photo analyst could reasonably draw such a conclusion. Her injuries are consistent with her account."
The news of Charlene Choi recently falling ill and fainting in her home due to a heatstroke and exhaustion have led her fans to be constantly worried. On July 16, Jaycee Chan, who has previously had rumors with Charlene, expressed in an interview, "Ah Sa falling ill is actually a good thing, because she carries too much on her shoulders, she's too tired. It just so happens that she can take advantage of this situation and rest a little." Regarding Ah Sa falling ill, Jaycee Chan who has always had a carefree personality was optimistic and said: "Fainting is a good thing, after fainting she can rest for a long time."
Raymond Lam is TVB's favorite for heavy promotions. He gets to lead many series and open concerts, taking the spotlight in two areas. TVB also made arrangements for Raymond's drama "Growing Through Life" as this year's TVB anniversary series and decided to pair him up with Charmaine Sheh for a new series. TVB is working their way in pushing Raymond up for TV King.

Christopher Nolan is having a fantastic Saturday. Jerry Bruckheimer is not. For the Dark Knight director scored over $21 million on Friday for his original, mind-bending film Inception. (That includes the $3 million brought in from the opening midnight shows.) The Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, could now earn $60 million for its three-day opening frame. That’s quite a contrast to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Disney’s failed attempt to recreate the magic of The National Treasure franchise. The film from Treasure producer Bruckheimer, director Jon Turteltaub and star Nicolas Cage grossed an estimated $5 million on Friday for a weekend take that may just hit $15 million. The film opened on Wednesday but even those two days of grosses won’t help the film get much past $20 million for the five-day period.
In late April, JP Morgan invited me to a “thought leaders dinner” to discuss the latest goings on in Silicon Valley and digital media. In a private room at the swanky San Francisco restaurant Kokkari, there were about 20 of us seated around a long rectangular table, including venture capitalists from prominent firms, highly successful entrepreneurs, and a handful of people from J.P. Morgan, including Jimmy Lee, the firm’s well-known Vice Chairman, who sat at the head of the table. (I was, like Kevin Costner’s character in Bull Durham Crash Davis, “the player to be named later.”)
Korean singer and movie actor Rain has liquidated all of his management company’s stock, of which he was the largest shareholder. Since the announcement of Rain’s selling of shares in J-Tune Entertainment, his management company, its stock value plunged nearly 60 percent from the end of June.
