I hope hell grow up among blessings. Jimmy has been working hard to earn money. One day in Shanghai, the next in Beijing, he was in Hangzhou yesterday for the Clarks shoes show.
He said he felt really blessed but also more responsilibities. Seeing him grow daily I feel that hell be my biggest motivation in my work.
Since Xiao Xiao Zhis birth, Jimmy has been busy preparing for the upcoming concert. With his baby face it seems like he doesnt have what it takes to be a father. Why not?

Sunday November 08, 2009 Philippines
MANILA, PhilippinesIn between beer-guzzling contests and video clips of past awards nights, a preshow segment of the 2009 NU 107 Rock Awards took off with a blasting opener from the Lo-Techs, followed by a down-tempo number from Muziklaban champs, Even.
The show's "High Definition" theme featured a giant rectangular screen that cut up the performers onstage like jigsaw puzzle pieces.
If black had been de rigueur attire among the audience in past editions, this year's Rock Awards had people wearing a rainbow of colors, predominated by shades of yellow and green. There was a couple, though, dressed as a punk-rock nun and a heavy-metal priest. Otherwise, the rest of the crowd came in their regular tees and jeans.
But this must be really one of the loudest Rock Awards ever. Kamikazee's set sounded like its amplifiers' volume was at 11, as the band opened the show proper with "Wala," a political satire, hard-core metal track from its latest album, "Long Time Noisy."
Maybe metal is rising again from the underground. Or perhaps it's the acoustics of the venue. It's even probable that the saucy repartees between emcees Iza Calzado and ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

'Lady Vengeance' in Top 100 Films
Sunday November 08, 2009 Korea
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance directed and produced by Park Chan-Wook in 2005 has been listed in the 100 best films for the decade by The Times published in Britain. This is the only Korean film ranked at the 97th on the top 100.
The British daily has drawn up the list with those selected among the movies screened during the 21st century (2000-2009).
The newspaper explained the film: The third of Park Chan-wooks fervid, savage revenge trilogy, Lady Vengeance ends with a somber acknowledgement of the futility of revenge. But not before buckets of blood have been spilt. Actress Lee Young-ae, 38, who has recently been spotlighted by her marriage with a Korean-American businessman last August, starred the lady.
The 98th placer is Crash(2004) directed by Paul Haggis, followed by Battle Royale (2000). The Devil Wears Prada directed by David Frankel in 2006 ranked the 100th and last of the list.
On the other hand, the top post has been taken by Hidden produced Michael Heneke in 2005.
The second place has been shared by The Bourne Supremacy/The Bourne Ultimatum directed by Paul Greengrass in 2004 and 2007, respectively.

Furthermore they reported that the driver of Jay's car had immediately died at the scene, and Jay and staff members were rushed to hospital, but it was already too late, and he was pronounced dead.

Singing Japanese PM Set To Top Music Charts
Monday November 2, 2009 Japan
The 62-year-old's CD, Take Heart - Tobitate Heiwa no Tori yo (Take Heart - Fly, Dove of Peace), is being given a prominent display in shops across the country.
The newly-elected leader recorded the song 22 years ago, Kyodo News said.
"I very much like both the lyrics and melody. But I think I'm a better singer now," Mr Hatoyama said, before the track's re-release.
According to Teichiku Entertainment, the song was initially made into a record in the summer of 1987.
Just a year before, the future leader had been elected to the House of Representatives for the first time.
Although about 100 records were produced, they were never sold and had been presented to his supporters in 1989.
The song caught the media's attention after Mr Hatoyama's Democratic Party of Japan won a landslide victory in the country's recent Lower House election.

Ishiharas adult aura in her 2010 calendar
Sunday November 8, 2009 Japan
Some days ago actress Ishihara Satomi (22) released her 2010 calendar like many of her colleagues and today she had a little handshake event to commemorate its release. The overall theme of the calendar is "off" <off-time, off-stage, etc.>, thats also why she appeared in comfortable white knitted clothes instead of a dress to give off a more private atmosphere.
"During the photo shooting it was a light atmosphere like going for a short stroll inside the house or wherever we shot." She remained all natural while describing her calendar and never lost that relaxed expression that has been on her face since the beginning of this event.
Her favorite shot is the picture they chose for March/April. In this picture, Ishihara is wearing a green dress and peering into the camera with her beautiful eyes while exposing a wee bit of her thighs. Overall its quite a sexy shot without showing too much skin and reporters praised her for looking really adult-like. "You really think so? It really makes me happy that you think this way. I think though its thanks to ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Seo In Young wasn't first choice for Bad Girl 2
Saturday November 7, 2009 Korea
One Two (Oh Chang Hoon and Song Ho Bum) recently released their third digital single titled Bad Girl 2.
Having already collaborated with Seo In Young in the past for Bad Girl, One Two received a lot of love from listeners through the success of the original version of the song. The news of the two artists uniting to work together again aroused the interest of fans fairly quickly.
In a recent interview with Newsen, the duo made a eyebrow-raising confession about their relatively new track. "To be honest," One Two said, "Baek Ji Young was supposed to be the featured artist for Bad Girl 2. However, she was busy recording her song Don't Forget for the 'Iris' OST so our original plan didn't work out."
"The moment Seo In Young heard Bad Girl 2, she immediately expressed her interest in doing it." They added, "There's really no friend we can depend on more than (Seo) In Young."
Lately, there have been a variety of singers who have featured vocally for a song and performed the special collaboration together on stage - of which Mighty Mouth is a ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)
