Key suspect in Jang Ja-yeon abuse case finally found
Sunday July 5, 2009 Korea
The manager of the late Boys Over Flowers actress Jang Ja-yeon's former management company, Kim Sung-hoon was finally apprehended and brought to Seoul on Friday from Tokyo, where he had been hiding and ignoring the "repeated requests" from the Seoul police to come back to Seoul for questioning. As left in Ja-yeon's suicide note, this was the man that received "sexual favors" from her, as well as forced her to engage in despicable acts with other "media heavyweights."
Just the mere fact that he was hiding so long and then showed up wearing a hat, sunglasses and a face mask just has guilty written all over it to me. He's obviously hiding something, but not for long. Hopefully, now that he is apprehended, justice will be served and Jang Ja-yeon will finally rest in peace.

Tohoshinki's Triple Three In Tokyo Dome
Sunday, July 5, 2009 Japan
Popular Korean male group Tohoshinki had their concert at the Tokyo Dome on 4th July. It was the beginning of the final stop for their National tour, and it is their first time performing there since their debut (in Japan) 4 years ago. Their new single「Stand By Ｕ」which was released on 1 July, has already reached an amazing number of 300,000 copies shipped. It is estimated that the tour was attended by around 300,000 people, and their latest album has also passed the 300,000 mark. They have achieved the "Triple Three" of the music industry.
Coming from Korea in 2005, they challenged Japan's major scene (music industry) for the past 4 years. Last year, they made their first appearance in the "All-star Game" of the music industry, 「NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen」, and they achieved 6 ORICON Chart number ones. Tohoshinki has become a "hit machine".
They've accomplished a record that is comparable to the "certificate of good hitters" when famous batters of baseball games played in the Tokyo Dome achieve a Triple Three (Batting average 30%, Home-runs 30, Base stealing 30).
This will be the finale of the National ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

SHINee’s 2nd Consecutive Victory on SBS Inkigayo
Sunday July 5, 2009 Korea
After last week's victory and their sixth-place finish on KBS Music Bank's 2PM-led K-chart, SHINee and SHINee World probably weren't expecting another victory on SBS Inkigayo. But, SBS's magic formula (nobody is really sure how SBS determines its victor) churned out another mutizen for SHINee, providing a most-likely final trophy for the "Juliette" promotions, as next week signals the beginning of the estrogen onslaught - SNSD, 2NE1, and 4minute.
Here's SHINee's victory/encore.

Almost inevitably, Jonghyun went straight to tears, though he didn't sob as hard as he did for their first "Juliette" victory a month ago at KBS Music Bank. Onew proceeds to thank every single member of SM Entertainment in his acceptance speech, including his sunbaes DBSK, Super Junior, and SNSD. He probably O-knew that this might be the last time SHINee takes the victory stage for a while, so the leader just wanted to make sure everybody got some thanks.

The producers of "Ip Man 2" have started a talent search for two Bruce Lee-like actors for the sequel to last year's kung-fu film hit, according to a report on Sina.com.
The two selected actors will appear in "Ip Man 2", the new biopic about Bruce Lee's master. An 8-to-12 year-old is expected to play a young Bruce Lee when he first met Ip Man, and an 18-to-22 year-old will play the kung fu star as a young adult when he started studying under his master.
"Resemblance in appearance will be considered first and foremost, and then the resemblance of manners, and last martial arts and acting skills," said Wilson Yip, the film's director.
Actors can apply for an audition through Henan Satellite TV and BTV-8.
Ten finalists from each age group will vie for the roles on the martial arts television show "Wu Lin Feng" on Henan Satellite TV at the end of July.
"Ip Man 2" is scheduled to start filming in August.

Kelly's baby is very active, thus nicknamed the "energetic baby"
Kelly's looks in her latest moon cake ad were very fashionable, even some of the crew thought that she was shooting for a fashion magazine front cover

Kelly Chen, who is 8 months pregnant, revealed that her baby likes to move, thus everyone nicknamed it as the "energetic baby."
Kelly is still hardworking even though she's pregnant, like when she was 5 months pregnant, she still shot a moon cake advertisement. Kelly recently expressed that her 8-month-old fetus is very active, every time after she's eaten something, it will always move. Even when Kelly's seeing her gynecologist, he also can see that Kelly's tummy's moving, so everyone can't help but calling it the "energetic baby."

Misses carefree days of the past
"Over time, some aspects of one's personality change while other aspects don't; what about you?" He thinks about it and says, "What hasn't changed is that I still push myself! Now, I still call my Mama everyday to let her know I'm well. Even if I'm unhappy that day, I'll still tell her, 'Don't worry! Your son is very man!' What's changed is perhaps I think more! I didn't have that many worries before! Sometimes I really miss playing in a band, having no more than $3000, a guitar with soundbox, having band rehearsals and performing with everyone; even when we were on the roadside and there were only 10 or so people watching, we were still really happy. At the time, we didn't have much money but we didn't have to think too much. As long as we were striving towards our goals, we were fine! Now, deep inside I'm still that kid that loves rock music but in showbiz, you have to force yourself to grow up quickly. I also ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

The 3 Stars in Steven Ma's Perspective
Saturday July 4, 2009 Hong Kong
Credits: to hyn5 @ hyn5-hyn5.blogspot.com
Steven Ma is TVB's "own child". It all started in 1993 when he first entered the entertainment industry. It is obvious that he was a TVB contracted artiste. TVB gives him chances in every series he films. Sixteen years, each step and each footprint is not easy to obtain the position of being male lead. From 2005 and on, TVB became Steven's manager. TVB raised Steven, and this "own child" is still receiving strict training from TVB. TVB can definitely "promote talented people" as representative characters.
"If you say I have improved in my acting, then I really have to thank Catherine Tsang. All of these years, she would point out my flaws and criticize them. I respect her very much. Every time I see her is like a student seeing a teacher. It is respect that comes from the heart." No one can calculate the future, but Steven expresses his aspiration honestly, "When I look back and think of my TVB friends and colleagues, Catherine will definitely be my .....

But the other night, Vincent was celebrating his birthday and held a party, as his girlfriend, Yoyo did not attend. Rumors say that because their underground relationship was exposed, TVB advised the couple: "Let people know, don't let people see" and forced her to stay away from the party. Although the couple are experiencing a bitter taste of love, but Yoyo still had a sweet smile on while she attended a public event yesterday.
The other night Vincent held a CEO Neway birthday party in Causeway Bay, good friends Jason Chan, Derek Kwok, Edwin Siu and Oscar Leung attended, but his girlfriend Yoyo Chen was absent.

One of the dazzling stars to ever shine in the heavens of the Philippine entertainment industry, Angel Locsin, continues to prove that she can still shine brighter.

Lee Seung-gi Branches Out
Saturday July 04, 2009 Korea
Singer Lee Seung-gi, who enjoyed great popularity with his innocent and somewhat careless character on the KBS 2TV entertainment program "1 Night 2 Days," is establishing himself as a lead actor on SBS TV weekend drama "Brilliant Legacy." Lee plays the role of arrogant son of a rich family.
The viewer rating for both "1 Night 2 Days" on Sundays and "Brilliant Legacy" on Saturdays and Sundays are spectacular, ranging around 30 percent. "It's not me but other people on both programs who make such high rating possible," Lee says.
Despite a busy schedule that allows him to sleep just three hours a day, Lee released a new song on June 18 and plans to release a new album in autumn.
Lee is probably at the top of his career as singer, actor and entertainer. When asked which of the three professions he would choose if he had to, he said, "I don't see those as three different things. To me they are one. They are all branches that came out from a big stem called entertainment. I won't let any chances slip away. If they come to ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)
