Li Bingbing Graces 'CeCi' Magazine

Li Bingbing
Popular Chinese actress Li Bingbing is on the cover of one of the leading Korean fashion magazines. Li, who features on 'CeCi's January 2009 cover, is the first Chinese face to appear on the magazine.

Credited as a Korea-China Cultural Ambassador, Li Bingbing has gained a huge fan base in South Korea. The actress became well recognized following the screening of the blockbuster film 'The Forbidden Kingdom', in which she collaborated with big stars such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan.

Her positive image was further boosted when Li promoted a Chinese charity in Seoul last November. The actress took part in a charity auction event to raise money for children in southwestern China's quake-battered Sichuan Province.

She has also enjoyed high exposure from being the face of a variety of ads for high profile international brands. Some mainstream Korean media consider the 'cultural ambassador' to have the most 'beautiful face in China.'

Dazzling A-mei

A-mei
It has been five years since A-mei dazzled her Malaysian fans with her power-packed vocals and sizzling dance moves. The Taiwanese Mandopop diva will be in Kuala Lumpur to meet fans and promote her concert tour sometime mid-February.

A-mei Star Tour kicked off in Shanghai in November 2007 and has taken the singer to 13 cities including Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei. Due to popular demand, the tour will end with an encore concert in Taipei soon after her KL show.

Her concert promises popular hits and top karaoke picks such as The One Who Loves Me Most Hurts Me Most, Nothing You Want After All, Sisters, Released, Can’t Cry, Listen to the Sea, I Want Happiness, Remember, Bad Boy and Holding Hands.

Last August, A-mei’s latest album Star was released to critical acclaim and hogged the No.1 position on the G-Music Best Selling Chart for four consecutive weeks, selling more than a million copies. She performed the main song of the album, Forever’s Happiness, at top Taiwanese rock band Mayday’s concert.

Also from the same album is A Moment, a duet with rising Taiwanese popstar Jam Hsiao, which went on to become a smash hit.

Born in the rugged mountains of eastern Taiwan, the iconic singer started out by entering a singing competition in 1994.

She went on to sing in pubs with a rock band and was discovered by popular Taiwanese singer/producer Chang Yu Sheng.

Following that, she made her debut in 1996 and achieved instant commercial success.

Dubbed the “Pride of Taiwan”, the charismatic indigenous songstress has won numerous music awards and remains one of Mandopop’s biggest music sensations. She was named Taiwan’s Tourism ambassador in 2004 and World Vision Taiwan ambassador in 2005.

Hayden Panettiere At the Super Bowl

I don’t know who would feel worse after looking at this picture of Hayden Panettiere at the Super Bowl party: Hayden simply because she was obviously rooting for the wrong team or her fans– I’m sure they were hoping that bird stapled to her head was a swallow.

Britney Spears Allowed to Take Sons on Tour

Britney Spears will have her babies on board!

The pop star has finally gotten her way after rumors circulated that she threatened to cancel her upcoming tour if she was not allowed to bring her sons.

“Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour,” her official website states.

Spears was planning to cancel her upcoming Circus tour if her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s lawyers continued to block an agreement that would allow her to take her sons on the road.

For weeks, Spears, Federline and Spears’ father Jamie had been privately planning to let the two boys travel with Spears on the tour. According to TMZ.com, the pop star would have homes in three places — New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles — so that the children could stay nearby while Spears commuted back and forth from regional concert venues.

Additionally, the agreement allowed Kevin to receive at least $4,000 each week that Spears is on tour and that he would receive his own home in each of the three predetermined cities as well, reported TMZ Monday.

Because the agreement was made without Federline’s lawyers, they objected to the plan, TMZ reported, but now it seems the family has worked out an arrangement.

“Britney is so excited to kick off her tour,” says a posting on Spears’ official site. “She has been enjoying every moment of rehearsals and is looking forward to performing in front of a live audience again.”

The Circus tour — her first arena tour in five years — kicks off on March 3 in New Orleans. It runs until June.

Valentine's Day is around the corner. Heavenly king Aaron Kwok openly made a date with his rumored girlfriend Lynn Xiong to spend the day together.

"It'll be boring for her to spend the day alone in Hong Kong. She can come watch me play billiards," Kwok laughed.

Kwok revealed his New Year celebrations for the past week on a celebratory show in Hong Kong on Friday. Besides spending the first day of Chinese New year with his friends, New Year's Eve and the second day of Chinese New Year were spent at home with his family. On the event, Kwok held on tightly to the God of Fortune, hoping to rub some luck off the latter.

"I won some money at the mahjong table when I played with my family. I'm feeling lucky this year," Kwok said.

Kwok said he has made plans for billiard games with his friends on Valentine's Day. With regards to spending the day with Xiong, he said, "Lynn is a good friend of mine. If she is feeling lonely in Hong Kong, I'll welcome her in watching us at the games!"

Stephen Chow Eyes Hollywood Kung Fu Hero

Stephen Chow
Hong Kong comedic filmmaker Stephen Chow's Hollywood debut will be a little bit "Kung Fu Panda" and a little bit "Kung Fu Hustle".

Chow, whose parody-rich "Kung Fu Hustle" was the highest grossing foreign-language film in the U.S. in 2005, will write and direct a Hollywood comedy starring himself and American actor Jack Black, the Oriental Morning Post reported on Tuesday, citing Wei Dasen, a representative from Chow's company.

Jack Black was the voice of the panda Po in the animation blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda".

In December, Stephen Chow resigned as director and co-star of a Hollywood remake of Bruce Lee's 1966 TV series "The Green Hornet". The movie was supposed to be Chow's first Hollywood appearance. He told the media the reason for his resignation was he was busy arranging other projects.

Wei from Chow's company says the actor-director is currently writing the screenplay for the new film. "It will be about a superhero, action-packed, special effects-rich, and of course funny."

American beauty Anne Hathaway is likely to star in the unnamed film, according to Wei.

Chinese media cited sources close to Chow as saying that the film will be similar in style to "Kung Fu Hustle", which is full of parodies and exaggerations.

Tang Wei Plans Return to the Silver Screen alongside Jacky Cheung

Tang Wei, Jacky Cheung
"Lust, Caution" star Tang Wei will make a return to the silver screen with top singer-actor Jacky Cheung in a new romantic drama entitled "Crossing Hennessy".

It seems the actress has been given the green-light to appear again in films one year after her disappearance from motion pictures following her performance in the spy thriller "Lust, Caution".

This time the actress will play in the upcoming "Crossing Hennessy" a quiet and wilful "next-door-girl" opposite Jacky Cheung, who plays a kind but laid-back electrical goods shop owner.

The film, which is scheduled to start shootting in March, tells the story of the two who are set up on a blind date by well-meaning relatives, despite the fact that they both have somebody else on their minds. Though the chemistry doesn't light up, the friendship grows unexpectedly between the two.

Tang Wei told the media that the humour-filled play will be refreshing to audiences.

Director Ivy Ho praised Tang Wei's good Cantonese language ability and believes she can be successful in this portrayal.

The actress refused to comment on "Lust, Caution", saying "I've had enough of all that". Tang revealed that she would focus on the future and her new role, the Chongqing Morning Post reports.

Many netizens have voiced their support for Tang Wei's return. They speak highly of her unaffected acting style and are looking forward to more new acting roles from the actress.

The film will start shooting this March. It also marks Cheung's first major leading role since Peter Chan's musical 'Perhaps Love' in 2005.

Jessica Mauboy Wants a New No.1

Jessica Mauboy


She'S No.1 in the music charts, but Jessica Mauboy has her sights set on another goal: finding a new man.

The 19-year-old is searching for a new partner after breaking up with her boyfriend late last year.

"It was kind of like a mutual thing - but there's plenty more fish," said the singer, with a laugh. "I'm quite busy … but there's a couple of eyes [roving] here and there."

Mauboy said her music stardom had changed the way she approached guys and it's a little harder to know who is genuine.

"You're at a gig and you might see someone who's cute, but you can never bust a line really," she said. "It is hard because you don't really know if it's for real or not. But having a little bit of fun is not that bad."

Mauboy's manager, David Champion, who has watched the singer transform from a schoolgirl to an R&B siren, says she is clearly keen to find love. "She's 100 per single - and looking," said Mr Champion.

Mauboy, whose song Burn is No.1 on the ARIA singles charts, said she has matured a lot since her appearance on Australian Idol as a 16-year-old. "I'm more developed in a way. I was still growing up [then] and becoming a woman," she said.

Mauboy will sing at an Australia Day eve concert in Canberra today, with a separate performance lined up for 100 guests at the Lodge on Australia Day tomorrow, including Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and family.
