Zai Zai frustrated with Golden Bell: Might leave entertainment circle to become a cowboy
original source: http://ent.mop.com/star/3077381.shtml
translated by minchong92 @ http://asianfanatics.net
After Zai Zai’s “non-appearance” at Taiwan’s Golden Bell Awards’ after party, he has finally shared his thoughts on this incident. Zai Zai indicated that he never thought that he would win “Best Actor” and even laughed that in the future, he won’t be in the entertainment circle anymore. Instead, he will go and become a nightclub cowboy!
This year, Taiwan’s Golden Bell Awards was accused of revealing the results before the ceremony. Apparently, Mark Chao won the “Best Actor” award with the help of his father’s affiliates. Zai Zai, who had been widely predicted to win, left without an award.
While Taiwanese media has joined in revealing this injustice, Zai Zai expressed for the very first time: “I was hoping for Zhang Shi to win. Only my prediction did not prove to be true. But it doesn’t really matter. I didn’t think I would win. So why is the focus put on [Ruffian Hero]’s two actors? There is no reason to have so many ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Show Luo (Xiao Zhu) and Rainie Yang are “happy enemies.” Three years ago, the two went to the USA to sing for a concert, and at the time, they were in bad terms with each other, treating each other like air. However, everything has changed, Show will perform in the US on the 26th, and he invited Rainie to be the guest performer. Air became “partner.”
Even though Show and Rainie are from the same [management] company, they were in bad terms with each other. It started with Show’s [rumor] ex-girlfriend, Makiyo, creating some misunderstandings while transferring words between the two. In addition, after Rainie broke up with Ben, Show supported his friend, Ben, which in turn deepened the issue between the two. Both of them were continuously in a cold war situation.
After their managers’ efforts in resolving the issue between the two, and in addition, their collaboration in the new drama, <Hi My Sweetheart>, the story had a turn. “Enemies to ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Zhejiang Online 20th November. I accidentally became a star-chasing fan. They are popular Taiwanese idols Chen Qiao En and Roy Chiu. There aren’t many owners who know this news and so filming proceeds quietly that day. Occasionally a few security guards will come to watch but they are turned away.

My home is in a small community in Binjiang. Yesterday afternoon, someone knocks on the door and said that they are from XXX television station. When I opened the door, it’s a man dressed in yellow. “Tomorrow we will be filming a drama series upstairs. There will be some noises that may affect you. Sorry for the inconveniences.” I was surprised. “Filming a drama series? What drama series?” Usually we see on TV where drama series are filmed and fans will go and watch.

SETTV drama produced by Wang Pei Hua has finally began filming (the second time) on the 18th, after being through much troubles. The male and female lead Wang You Sheng and Tammy Chen Yi Rong showed up in their wedding outfits and the main cast had full attendance. Faced with numerous bed scenes in the drama, Tammy expressed her nervousness "I was shocked by the numerous bed scenes in the script." You Sheng promised her that "I'll try to be careful." though.
This drama was originally titled "Lucky Day" but the director got snatched away and the male lead quit. Thus, to change their luck, the title was changed to "Divorce March" which was criticised to be too old-fashion sounding. The television company thus started a poll and finalized the drama title as
"第二回合我愛你 (Second Round of I Love You)"

Yahoo! JAPAN announced its Search Rankings for 2009. In the Name Search category, the first place went to popular Johnny's Entertainment group Arashi, who beat out Korean group Tohoshinki and Japanese group Exile. Within the past year, Arashi's popularity has skyrocketed. Two years ago they placed only seventh in the rankings, while last year they broke into the top three spots. It's no surprise that they were rumoured earlier to be taking over the MC position from their sempai SMAP for NHK's Red and White Singing Contest.
In the category for Television Programs, Fuji Television's reality show 'Ainori' placed first, while Mizushima Hiro and Yamashita Tomohisa's dramas, 'Mei-chan no Shitsuji' and 'Buzzer Beat' placed second and third respectively.
