Shu Qi was in LA last weekend for a World Heart Day charity dinner. Before that, she was in Milan for the 2013 Spring Jimmy Choo rollout.

Also, Shu Qi and Chang Chen have started a new/old (in development since 2005) martial arts film project helmed by Hou Hsiao-Hsien. The official launch ceremony for "The Assassins" (yes, another one!) was held in Taiwan on Sept. 25. Besides Shu Qi and Chang Chen, Nikki Hsieh Hsin-ying and Chang Shao-huai have been announced as cast members. The film will require Shu Qi to learn marital arts as well as flying by wire for the story set during the Tang Dynasty..

Seafood dinner!

"Habit" is the worst partner ... (???)

Perhaps a response to refute the latest rumour having Shu Qi reuniting with ex-bf Leon Lai?

Variety: Hot Summer Days

A "Valentine's Day"-style romantic multi-strander, "Hot Summer Days," Fox's virgin venture into Chinese-language production and distribution, bubbles along with a jaunty but unoriginal blend of the sweet, tart, cute and weepy.

According to a report from Taiwan's Apple Daily, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Shu Qi will play husband and wife in Hou Hsiao-Hsien's long rumored, since 2007, martial arts fantasy film (The Assassin). The cast also includes Chang Chen and Tadanobu Asano and begins low-key shooting in Nara, Japan now that Shu Qi's If You Are the One 2 has wrapped up. [In July, HHH was granted a $625,000 production subsidy from the Taiwan government's National Development Fund and assurance that 30 percent of the budget would be provided.]

The security cordon around her was heavy. After an eight hour day, Paltrow returned and retired to the Mandarin Oriental.
