THR: Don't Go Breaking My Heart review
The Bottom Line
A calculated female wish-fulfillment romance with a touch of "Rear Window" irony.

AP: Oscar winner Ruby Yang sees boom in Chinese documentaries
Yang, who edited the feature films "Xiu Xiu, The Sent Down Girl" and "Autumn in New York," both directed by actress Joan Chen, said she next plans to make short films about Chinese activists and also hopes to direct a feature film.


The film uses four separate stories to explore different aspects of love. It will be released on April 8.

The 140-minute film features A-list actors fleshing out a long list of historical figures, among them Chow Yun-Fat (as Yuan Shikai), Chen Kun (as Zhou Enlai), Chang Chen (as Chiang Kai-shek), Dong Jie (as Soong Ching-ling), Andy Lau (as Cai E), and Tang Wei (as Tao Yi).
Compared to the film "The Founding of a Republic", Han's 2009 extravaganza which also featured a similar cast scale, the co-director said that the new film would be "much better" in terms of plots and scenes.

Carina Lau, Kate Moss and Vivian Chow appeared for a ribbon-cutting event for French brand Longchamp in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, Vivian Chow's husband raised eyebrows when he was spotted dining with a young woman that was a Charlene Choi look-a-like.

He elaborated that he often walked around dressed in a singlet and shorts in his house, and because of this his parents found it hard to invite friends over. His parents have told him more than once that they would like to have "space" away from him. (RazorTV video)

While Shu Qi did not say much, her wedding card spoke volumes of her thoughts on her best friend’s nuptials.
"I really can't bear to let you spend the rest of your life with another person.
"You must know that I am holding back tears and putting up with the pain to leave you in the hands of someone who loves you even more," wrote the actress, who took three flights from her filming location just to attend Lin's wedding.
Before flying back to Shenzhen, Shu Qi reminded the groom of "wives rules", to help wash Lei-Lei's (Kelly) underwear, sweep, mop, cook, to greet her every morning; and if Lei-Lei is cold at night, to keep her warm. Chris replied, Yes, sir! But isn't underwear machine washable?
"881 The Musical" sees Tan playing Yan Yan, the loud Papaya Sister who is a bit of a delinquent, with co-star Dong taking on the role of Min Min, the gentler of the two.
