Vicki Zhao: It will be a pity if I don't perform

The actress refutes rumours that she is back in showbiz for the cash

It's not for the money.

Or that's what Vicki Zhao claims.

The China-based actress had a brief stay in Singapore during her pregnancy - which was also where she gave birth to her daughter - to avoid media scrutiny.

After giving birth, the star was back in action, appearing at product launches and various events.

Due to this, rumours have been rife that Vicki has been working furiously as her husband, tycoon Huang You-long has dumped her.

Vicki was in Beijing as a product ambassador where she refuted the rumours.

"I'm not taking up any movie deals with Stephen Chow, neither am I filming Painted Skin 2. I do not wish to take on any more period movies."

For her future plans, Vicki revealed that she will be filming a new movie in two months' time and may be involved in movie directing in the future. She will also be on the panel of judges for the upcoming China Changchun Film Festival.

Wahlberg gets Walk of Fame star

Comedian Will Ferrell poked fun at Mark Wahlberg as he was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - by pretending to confuse him with fellow action man Matt Damon.


Wahlberg was presented with the 2,414th star on the famous Hollywood Boulevard on Thursday in recognition of his longstanding career as a rapper, underwear model, actor and producer.

His The Other Guys co-star Ferrell was on hand to provide the chuckles at the ceremony when he jokingly praised Wahlberg for Damon's hit Jason Bourne franchise.

He told the audience, "I'm glad to be here. I first became a fan of Mark's when I bought his workout video. And I love all your Bourne movies."

'Angelina' Tell-All Paints Shocking Picture of Jolie's Troubled Childhood

Angelina Jolie has lived a life of contradictions. Now a goodwill ambassador and one of the world's most celebrated actresses, she's blessed with six beautiful children (and one Brad Pitt), but she was once also a heroin addict from a shattered home who went on to steal other women's husbands. This -- and so much more -- according to the forthcoming bombshell tell-all about the actress, 'Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography,' by the master of such celebrity dirt-fests, Andrew Morton.

Leaked excerpts from the book are fueling so much hype that publisher St. Martin's Press has moved up its release date from Aug. 3 to July 31, says USA Today.

Critics cite the lurid details of the 35-year-old star's childhood as the most compelling morsels Morton throws his readers.

An affair Jolie's famous father Jon Voight had with starlet Stacey Pickren when Jolie was only a few months old tore apart her family life and set her on a path of teenage rebellion, according to the book.

Her mother Marcheline Bertrand moved out of the posh Beverly Hills high-rise where baby Angelina lived with her dad and was taken care of by nannies. A bitter Bertrand rarely came to see her daughter during the first year of her life because Jolie reminded her too much of her philandering husband, Morton says.

Fox News: Apple Is The New Religion And The Pope Is Scared

Jesus. Maybe literally.

Fox News has a long and illustrious history of saying some fairly outrageous things. A story today on FoxNews.com may be one of the best yet — certainly from a tech perspective.

The post entitled “For Apple Followers, It’s a Matter of Faith, Academics Say” argues that while people may joke about Apple being a religion (JesusPhone, etc), to some, it may actually be a religion. Better, they wonder if Apple shouldn’t pursue that path. Here’s Fox News’ keys as to why Apple is similar to a religion:
  • Apple’s creation story epitomizes the humble garage origin of its technology — not unlike the humble manger of Jesus’ birth.
  • Apple CEO Steve Jobs is perceived as a messianic leader who was fired but rose again to save the company.
  • Apple has traditionally had an evil archenemy, the Devil, as represented first by Microsoft and now by Google.

Microsoft slates IE9 beta for September

Exec spells out beta ship date, but company mum on final schedule

MIcrosoft will ship a beta of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) in September, a company executive said today.

If the timeline is accurate, the IE9 beta release will come a month later than earlier speculation, which had settled on August, a pick based in large part on PowerPoint slides purportedly from a Microsoft presentation that focused on Windows 8, the next iteration of the company's OS.

Today, Kevin Turner, Microsoft's chief operating officer, said that IE9 would reach beta this fall. "We're really excited about IE9, which will be beta and coming out in September," said Turner during the company's annual day-long presentation to Wall Street analysts.

Turner also boasted of Internet Explorer's recent turnaround, claiming that it had gained usage share the last two months.

Google’s Mobile Search Market Share: An Estimated, Whopping 98.29%

How’s this for absolutely dominating an increasingly lucrative and fast-growing segment?

Google currently boasts a mobile search market share of 98.29%, with it closest competitor Yahoo taking up just over 0.8% of market share and Microsoft’s Bing barely touching even half that, according to recent data from StatCounter as relayed by Pingdom.

This graph, made by Pingdom, puts it all in perspective:



As you can tell from the graph, put together using global visitor stats for more than three million websites, Google’s near-100% piece of the mobile search pie is even a good deal larger than their still impressive share of the overall search engine market. Note that the red bars represent non-mobile search market share, not a combination of both.

As for Yahoo, Bing, and the ‘others’ – good luck taking on Google on that front.

Jessica Hsuan and Bobby Au-Yeung: Naturally Inseparatable

Bobby Au-Yeung and Jessica Hsuan is a subtle pair: one is always in rush, but the other is slow-tempered. They work in harmony with each other and are good partners at work, even becoming good friends. After many years of working together, there is no doubt at their chemistry during work. Bobby's "quality," made Jessica to remove her "alert" and exposed her true self, in fact she is just a silly girl. From their conversation with laughs, it shows the understanding between partners, and also concerns between friends.


Before interview started, Jessica advised shooting photos with Bobby first. She had her foresight, because laughing during the 1-hour interview would ruin her make-up, and it won't be easy to re-apply.

Before "A Pillowcase of Mystery II," the two collaborated in "File of Justice," "A Recipe For the Heart," "Prosecution to a Witness," and "Dicey Business" etc. Jessica is Bobby's appointed partner. Originally she doesn't want to work in the summer, but producer lured her with "good partner," plus Bobby invited her personally, she agreed in the end.
