Actress Qin Hailu has been making a name for herself (and not a good one) by criticizing fellow thespian Fan Bingbing, who wore a "dragon gown" for the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival last week.
On her micro-blog (China's version of Twitter) Qin claimed Fan demonstrated her overweening ambition by wearing the impressive dress at the French film event. The implication was that Fan was positioning herself as China's leading lady by wearing the typically Chinese creation on international stage.

Anthony's son does not want to follow in his father's footsteps. Rather, he wants to become a plastic surgeon.

Looks like Anthony Wong's kid has inherited his dad's game face. And I like the matching father/son outfits. Wonder what it's like having Wong Chau-Sang for a father--
ReplyDeletePS: Anthony Wong is wearing a pentagram necklace.
ReplyDeletePPS: They're going to see a musical theater production.
Whoa... never knew Anthony Wong had a son. Their matching outfits are pretty cute. ;p
ReplyDeleteI agree with Qin Hailu that Fan Bingbing boldly presented herself. But what's wrong with a little self-promoting. Smells like sour grapes to me!
Anthony Wong seems to keep his marriage pretty low profile, though I remember a few years back he was frequently seen out with another woman.

ReplyDeleteI noticed that too! Western Wicca or Chinese five elements... what do you think? ;p
>Western Wicca or Chinese five elements... what do you think?
ReplyDeleteProbably both, since he's half-english and half-chinese!
Seen out with another woman? I'm shocked, shocked!
re: Fan Bing Bing. I agree, Qin Hailu is just jealous that she didn't think of it herself.
Maybe it's a tribute to Rush's 2112 album cover?
