Edison Chen to release new album in October

6/22/2010 01:42:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Disgraced Hong Kong actor-singer Edison Chen has revealed that he will be releasing an album in October when he attended Hong Kong rap duo FAMA's recent concert, reported Chinese media.

"I will write all the lyrics for this upcoming album because I have a lot to say to my fans and don't want to be misinterpreted by middlemen.

"The lyrics to the album's Cantonese songs will be written by me. MC Hotdog will help translate my English lyrics into Mandarin for the Mandarin songs in the album," Chen told journalists, adding that the album will be 80 per cent in Mandarin and 20 per cent in Cantonese.

When asked if this would mark his return to showbiz, Chen, who had spent most of his time in the United States since his sex photo scandal hit the headlines in 2008, said that he "wasn't sure" and wondered if he had "ever left".

The 29-year-old said he had been asked to perform publicly on numerous occasions over the past two years but he declined as he did not want to sing his old songs.

"My career was temporarily on hold but I don't understand the phrase 'return to showbiz'. If people feel that I am 'returning to showbiz', I am okay [with that]," said Chen, before going on to admit that he was "not completely ready to appear in a film yet".

Korean producers tapping hit Taiwanese dramas for inspiration

6/22/2010 01:42:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

With news of the Korean version of Japanese manga “Itazura na Kiss” being in the works, the upcoming update would mark the third international drama adaptation since the 1996 Japanese version of the same name and the Taiwanese duology “It Started with a Kiss” (2005) and “They Kiss Again” (2008). The original manga captivated readers and continues to expand its readership with the first of a dozen parts seeing an English release late last year.

South Korean producers hope the upcoming 'Itazura' update will repeat the successful formula of last year’s “Boys Over Flowers”, another Korean idol drama based on a Japanese manga that also originally saw major live-action success as the Taiwanese 2001 idol drama “Meteor Garden”. The practice of adapting live-action versions of Japanese manga is prevalent in both Japanese and Taiwanese-based idol dramas, but until the 2009 release of “Boys Over Flowers”, the phenomenon in South Korea had been mostly restricted to big-screen adaptations such as 2003’s “Oldboy” and 2008’s “Antique”.

The sudden move to update the classic ‘Itazura’ manga after the overwhelming success of “Boys Over Flowers” follows the growing trend by South Korean producers to invest in existing intellectual properties that originally seen success in other live-action adaptations. Furthermore, the original Taiwanese idol drama adaptations and the actors who starred in them have a faithful following in both Japan and South Korea.

Leona Lewis’ hectic work schedule has ended the singer’s relationship with boyfriend of more than a decade, Lou Al-Chamaa.

The “Bleeding Love” crooner and Lou met when they were just 10 but have decided to call time on their long-running union after Leona’s busy work schedule stopped them from being able to spend any quality time together. Leona was devastated when Lou failed to show up for her performance at London’s O2 Arena last Wednesday night.

“Things have been under pressure for ages between them and they’ve finally realized that things are not going to be able to progress. Leona’s schedule means she’s in the States a lot when Lou’s in London and then when he goes out she’s over here. Then there’s the fact she’s been totally immersed in preparing for her tour. They’ve barely spend any time together whatsoever,” a friend close to the songbird spilled to British gossip rag Sunday Mirror.

Jackson's music has generated $430 million in sales since June 2009.

At the time of his death last June, Michael Jackson was reportedly deeply in debt and had agreed to sign on for an unprecedented 50-date run at the O2 arena in London, as a means of turning his financial fortunes around.

But thanks to a flurry of merchandising deals and a flood of nostalgia-fueled music sales, his estate has generated nearly $1 billion in the past year,Billboard reports via Reuters.

Billboard broke down the source of that windfall, determining that nearly half of it came from the robust music sales following the singer's shock death on June 25, 2009. Jackson has sold 9 million albums in the U.S. and 24 million around the globe since his death, along with around 800,000 copies of albums by the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons. Assuming a worldwide retail sales price of $11.62 per unit, the magazine estimated that the Jackson catalog brought in about $383 million in sales.

Taiwan model-actress Lin Chiling expressed her disappointment over the dismal ratings of her Japanese drama serial "Moonlight Lovers" and revealed that she hopes to take some acting classes next year, reported Chinese media.

Speaking to reporters while attending the high-profile Royal Ascot horse races in the UK, Lin was evasive and said, "Could we not talk about the ratings (of "Moonlight Lovers")? Frankly, I am a little depressed at the moment."

"I want to take this chance to take in as much air as I can. This can be considered a short break!" Lin added.

"Moonlight Lovers", which also stars Japanese superstar Takuya Kimura, tanked in Japan, managing only 13.4 per cent in ratings. Its average ratings also lost out to other J-dramas this season.

The drama's producer, Fuji Television, was reportedly so disappointed that it intends to cut short the show's run to eight episodes instead of the usual ten for a drama in the 9pm time slot, with its finale scheduled to air on July 5 in Japan.
