Elaine Ng's daughter
Rumors have been circulating that Jackie Chan has not been paying child support and that is the reason Elaine Ng returned to Hong Kong to do promotional work.
Carol Zhu
Hong Kong tabloids report that Andy Lau's wife, now 44 years old, is 3 months pregnant. Two newly hired bodyguards have been seen accompanying Carol according to reports.
That's good news for Tang Wei, but I don't think the storyline for "Crossing Hennessy" gave her enough of an opportunity to show off her acting ability.
ReplyDeleteBai Ling... ***shudder*** (okay, at least she did do a nice job in "Red Corner" and I haven't seen her in "Anna and the King" nor in "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow".). I guess her off screen behavior is what I find so bizarre about her - her weird singing (you see that on youtube.com), her frequently nipple slips for photographers, and her belief that she sees three spirits / fairies who tell her what to do. (okay, I admit - just because I don't see them, doesn't mean they don't exist).
"It's an honor, just to be nominated." :D
ReplyDeleteI think Bai Ling is crazy and out there, somewhere but in a good-weird way. She's a plucky gal.
"Give my driver a bottle of votca at 3:30am asked him not 2 drink while he is driving, he is nice mike, but before he left he took a camera out said: if I don't do this my wife will be so mad she is big fan. Then he snap a picture. Wow picture at 3:33am aswome!!!..... But I am landing in Detroit, but why Detroit????????" :D
Oh, I do need to add that a penpal of mine met Bai Ling at one of the Star Wars Celebration conventions (since technically she was in "Revenge of the Sith" but had her scenes deleted). She (the penpal) said Bai Ling was funny (in a humorous sense not in a strange way) and friendly. :)
ReplyDeleteHah, hah, I forgot about her Star Wars connection. Something about a Playboy shoot, wasn't it. As if George Lucas hasn't whored himself out time and time again. (The latest being the 3D Star Wars announcement.)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your penpal's encounter with Bai Ling was a good one. Not surprised to hear that she's friendly, though.
