Katy Perry Too Hot For Tots

Katy Perry shot a segment for Sesame Street -- which was supposed to air on New Year's Eve -- in which she sings a cleaned-up version of her song, "Hot N Cold" with Elmo.



The song made its way to YouTube Monday and racked up nearly a million views. But some parents started complaining her cleavage was too front and center. We've learned producers have decided not to air the song on the show.

Among the parental comments:

-- "You can practically see her t*ts. That's some wonderful children's programming."

-- "they're gonna have to rename it cleavage avenue"

-- "my kid wants milk now"

The fact is ... what looks like Katy's bare chest is actually flesh-colored mesh that covers her chest all the way up to her neck.

Watch Katy sing "Hot N Cold" with Elmo in Sesame Street in the clip below.

Cecilia Cheung Saves a Girl from Committing Suicide

She might be tired from her hectic filming schedule, but Cecilia Cheung (张柏芝) does not hesitate when doing good deeds.



The actress, who is currently filming in Inner Mongolia, one day was resting in her hotel room during her break, when she discovered a girl outside the hotel window. She saw the girl standing on top of a building, trying to commit suicide.

Cecilia immediately took a taxi to the building along with her assistant. When they arrived, her assistant asked the taxi driver for help, and the taxi driver told the security guard to call the police. Police arrived in time and pulled the girl back from the edge of the building.

The 30 year old's quick actions saved a life, and that is not the only good thing she has been doing. She once traveled back and forth from Hong Kong to Taiwan to visit a 15-year-old girl with cancer. Unfortunately, the girl passed away this month, left Cecilia having some deeper thoughts about life.

"Life is precious, and I hope everyone can cherish it. Some people don't even have a chance to live. Those who are able to live, must live it well. Don't give it up that easily."

To demonstrate her quick wits and kindness, they even drew a comic of how she saved the life of the girl.

Cute, issn't?

Wayne Lai Opens Facebook to Communicate With Son

Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) and his wife attended an event last month to promote a new Facebook mobile app.



Wayne said: "I always wanted to sign up Facebook because communicating with youngsters is different now; they won't talk to you face to face. Maybe they're afraid of embarrassment after saying certain things like, I'm sorry. It would be easier to say it online.

When asked, "Not afraid your son would become autistic because of that?", Wayne replied, "Can't do much. I would bring him out to functions in general. I don't want him to look at his phone or computer the whole time; we need some balance. But I'm afraid he won't focus at his studies if I bring him out too often."

"Restrictions on going online?"

Wayne replied, "Yes. I put his phone and computer in another room at night, say they need to be charged. I don't want him to get addicted. It's good that he listens to me."

He has decided to open a Facebook account to communicate with his son.

Rain has trouble using Twitter

Remember when multi-entertainer Rain returned to the Twitter scene?



Since then, this famous star has accumulated over 70,000 followers. You’d think that with so many followers, Rain would be a god of Twitter. Recently, however, he posted a tweet that claimed he has trouble using the social medium.

On January 8th, the entertainer left an encouraging tweet for MBLAQ members with, “Hello! Everyone, we are finally showcasing the five eagle brothers MBLAQ’s 1st full album. Until now, these five children has done their best. You guys worked hard, my BLAQies. Let’s have some fun.”

Later on the 13th, Rain tweeted again, “Now that I am 30 I would like to change 29rain to 30rain but I don’t know how to do it ㅠ I’ve had Twitter for an year now and I still don’t know how to do anything…ㅠ”For reference, this tweet refers to Rain’s account name. His current account has the name ‘29rain’ because he was 29 years old, but now that an year has passed, he wants to alter it to the more appropriate ‘30rain’.

Netizens who read Rain’s tweets replied, “He was technologically inept. No wonder he did not post any picture, I was wondering why ㅠㅠ” and “Learn from MBLAQ oppas.”

Eric, Dongwan and Andy support Teen Top and promote Shinhwa's comeback

After watching the debut performance of Teen Top with “Clap” on Music Core, for Shinhwa members Eric, Kim Dongwan and Andy, it was a case of “it feels like we’re watching ourselves from 10 years ago.”

Teen Top's Debut Performance @ Music Core - Clap [July 10, 2010]


Before their debut performance, Eric and Andy, who have been monitoring their practice, said that it felt like looking at Shinhwa preparing for their debut back then. Kim Dongwan also posted a photo of Teen Top on his personal blog, describing them as “Andy’s ambitious project” and helping to promote them.

Teen Top is a new group from Andy’s management company, and the group consists of members that Andy picked out from an open audition. The Shinhwa members are all helping to monitor their activities and putting all their support behind them.

After watching Teen Top’s debut performance, the Shinhwa members have apparently expressed their wish for Teen Top to perform Shinhwa’s songs on stage. “They’re the new group that can best pull off Shinhwa’s songs and stage performances.”

After the release of their debut track “Clap”, Teen Top has started sales of their single album on 12 July and will be kickstarting their broadcast activities. The MTV, which has been released, features After School's Lizzy. Watch below. Teen Top Single Album Vol. 2 - Transform is expected to be released on 17th January. Preorder now!

Teen Top has unveiled three (3) teasers for their song Supa Luv. The first two (2) stars Eric of Shinhwa (神话), while the third (3rd) and final one features Teen Top and only a flash shot of Eric.

[HD Teaser] Teen Top - Supa Luv - MV Teaser #3


As we can see, the friendship between the Shinhwa members has been headlining once again ever since Eric made a surprise cameo in Teen Top’s music video teasers.

Many were confused by his appearance at first, wondering whether Eric himself was making a comeback, but it was finally revealed that Eric had subbed in for Andy to support and promote the group’s comeback. (Teen Top was produced by Andy, but the Shinhwa member is currently serving in the army).

Even though he finished filming his segment, Eric had stayed behind afterwards to encourage and monitor the Teen Top members. His help definitely paid off, as his seconds-long appearance in the group’s teaser created enough buzz for the video to rank on major portal and video sharing sites.

Hallyu Stars Born in the Year of Rabbit

As the year 2011 is the year of the rabbit, many star actors who were born in the year of rabbit – year 1951, 1963, and 1987 – are making a fresh resolution to make a new leap forward next year. Let's take a look at those stars who were born in the year of the rabbit and have actively been performing in the various fields of broadcasting, movies, and music.



◇ Broadcasting industry = Among stars who were born in 1975, works of comedians are expected to stand out. Comedians such as Kim Byeong-man, Kim Joon-ho, Park Joon-hyeong, and Kim Sook are those who will become 36 years old next year. They had already became star comedians with their appearances on live comedy programs on terrestrial broadcasting, and they will also plan to generate laughter among viewers in the next year. Among actors, Seong Hyeon-ah, Woo Hee-jin, Han Go-eun, Oh Man-seok, Choi Ji-woo, Yoon Son-ha, Lee Tae-ran, and Myeong Se-bin were born in the year of rabbit in 1975. And actors who were born in 1987, another year of the rabbit, Lee Min-ho and Moon Geun-yeong, are expected to perform brilliant exploits. Lee Min-ho is now planning to appear in the drama "City Hunter", which is based on the original Japanese cartoon, and Moon Geun-yeong is reportedly reviewing various movie scripts for her next work. Actor Jang Geun-seok, who appears in the drama "Marry Me, Mary!" with Moon Geun-yeong, was also born in 1987. Actress Han Hyo-joo, who achieved great success with her appearance in the drama "Dong Yi", and Joo Won, who had successfully introduced himself in the drama "Bread, Love and Dreams", are the same age with Moon and Jang. Actress Hwang Sin-hye, who is appearing in the drama "Home Sweet Home", and Lee Jae-yong-I, who is appearing in the drama "President", are also those stars who were born in 1963, the year of the rabbit. Hwang and Lee have something in common -- they have an extremely young appearance regardless of their age. Veteran actresses Ko Doo-sim, Kim Ja-ok, and Han Hye-sook were born in 1951 and become 60 years old next year, and they all are still enthusiastically continuing their activities. Song Jae-ho, who is actively appearing in both movies and broadcasting, and Jeon Won Ju, who is still enjoying popularity with her witty way of talking, were born in 1931.



◇ Movie Industry = Movie directors who were born in 1975 and had revealed their rising senses after reaching their thirties are noticeable. Director Jang Hoon, who had been acknowledged with his first movie "Rough Cut", and then successfully attracted 5.46 million viewers with his second movie "Secret Reunion", will come back to the movie industry with his new movie entitled "Battle of Highlands". The movie, in which actor Sin Ha-gyoon and Ko Soo appear, is about soldiers of South and North Korea who have to participate in mortal combat during the ceasefire negotiation. It will be a blockbuster war movie funded by more than 10 billion won. Director Han Jae-rim, who had been spotlighted with his debut movie "Rules of Dating" and his second movie "The Show Must Go on", will also produce a movie based on the original cartoon "Trace", which has been evaluated as a Korean-style cartoon about a hero with the same title. Director Yang Joon-ik, who had garnered 23 awards in the various international film festivals with his movie "Breathless", is also one of those who were born in the year of the rabbit. Now he is filming a short movie shot with a camcorder. Director Kim Jong-kwan, who had produced "Come, Closer", is also preparing for his next work. There are also directors who were born in 1963. Director Park Chan-wook is preparing a new movie entitled "Le Transperceneige" (working title) along with director Bong Joon-ho and preparing to advance into Hollywood with his movie "Stoker", in which Jodie Foster and Carey Hannah Mulligan appear. And director Yoo Ha, who had made "A Dirty Carnival" and "A Frozen Flower", will make a movie entitled "Howling". Among actors who were born in 1975, actor Lee Seon-gyoon's activities are most anticipated. He is enjoying huge popularity with his new movie "Petty Romance", in which he acted with actress Choi Kang-hee, and he will appear in the next movie with actor Park Joong-hoon. Actress Seon Woo-seon (born in 1975) will appear in the movie "Pyongyang Castle", which will be released early next year, and Ryoo Deok-hwan (born in 1987), who had appeared in the movie "Like A Virgin", will challenge himself by appearing in a thriller movie entitled "Head".



◇ Music Industry = Singers who were born in the year of the rabbit in 1987 mostly consist of members of idol groups; they debuted as singers, but they are actually actively performing as "multi-players" by appearing in various movies, musicals, and other entertainment. Top (Choi Seung-hyeon, Big Bang), Choi Si-won, Kim Ki Bum, and Ryeo Wook (Super Junior), Kim Gyoo-jong, Park Jung-min, and Kim Hyung-joon (SS501), GO (MBLAQ), Park Geon-il (Supernova), Son Ga-in (Brown Eyed Girls), Lee Joo-yeon-I (After School), Soyeon (T-ara), and the former member of 2PM Jae Beom are those stars who were born in 1987. Top (Choi Seung-hyeon) had taken on the challenge of acting by appearing in the drama "IRIS" and in the movie "71-Into the Fire", Choi Si-won is also appearing in the drama "'Athena", Son Ga-in and Lee Joo-yeon-I are also appearing in the sitcom drama "All my Love" and drama "Smile, Dong-hae", respectively, and Jae Beom will also appear in the movie "Hype Nation". Ryeo Wook and Kim Hyung-joon had appeared in musical works before. Seo In Kook, the winner of "Superstar K – Season one" last year, was also born in 1987, and successfully debuted as a solo singer with his hit songs such as "Love U" and "My Baby U". Star singers such as Maya, Harisu, Sin Jeong-hwan, and Woo Seung-min in "All Lies Band" were born in 1975. Shin Jung Hwan, who had shown outstanding performances by appearing on many entertainment programs, has been caught up in controversy with the accusation illegal gambling in the Philippines in early September, and is still staying overseas, so many people are paying attention to his comeback.

Charmaine Sheh Not Filming 'Forensic Heroes 3'

Due to an arm injury, it's confirmed Charmaine Sheh (Chinese name: 佘詩曼) won't star in upcoming TVB drama "Forensic Heroes 3" (Chinese title: 《法證先鋒III》).



The TVB actress has been filming in Mainland recently and was about to return to Hong Kong. When she was getting off a car at the airport, she slipped and her left arm elbow hit the ground first, which caused her joint to dislocate. She is expected to take several weeks off to treat her arm.

Charmaine talked about her current condition on the phone yesterday and sounded quite weak: "My leg started to numb, and doctors said nerves are being pressed. My hand hurts a lot. My waist can't stay in the same position for too long, so I didn't sleep well last night."



The 2006 TV Queen is disappointed that she couldn't collaborate with TV King Wayne Lai (Chinese name: 黎耀祥) this time. She's upset that her accident affected the drama, which started filming already.

Producer of the drama Mui Siu Ching (Chinese name: 梅小青) is in a rush to find someone equivalent to Charmaine. She stressed it's more important for the actress to be in good health.

"Even if she forces herself to work, her joint could be dislocated again easily. She might need to do physical therapy exercises after resting 6 weeks," she said.

Male lead of the drama Wayne was superstitious that he thought his bad luck might have ruined his chance to collaborate with Charmaine. As for who is his desired female lead replacement, he can't think of one yet.

"It's hard to say," he said. "But it's more important for her to be pretty, since I'm a handsome man in the drama."

In addition, it's said Maggie Cheung would take Charmaine's role.

Korean Street Fashion

Many people say that these days, Korean street fashion is becoming more and more at par with other major cities’ fashion like New York and Tokyo. Some fashion critics say that Korean street fashion looks like a carbon copy of New York’s street fashion, and a lighter and milder version of Tokyo fashion, but others applaud Koreans for their fashion sense. If you will go to Korea, you will see distinct characteristics of their street fashion. You can see them too in other countries, but they added a Korean twist that makes them unique, if not original.

For instance, one distinct feature of Korean street fashion is layering. Some people say they got it from New Yorkers. But no matter where they got it from, layering is an important feature of Korean fashion not just because it looks good but also because Korea is a temperate country. They need to layer their clothes to keep their body warm, just like other people in temperate regions.

Another distinct characteristic of Korean street fashion is their oversized t-shirts with English words or phrases. Some people, especially visitors from Western countries, cannot make sense of what is written on the t-shirts but Koreans do not care. After all, they do not wear the t-shirts to communicate with foreigners. They wear them to look good. The printed word or phrases in front of Korean tees only act as designs, not as something that states to the whole world what the wearer believe sin.

Korean women usually pair these oversized tees with a pair of skin tight leggings or skinny jeans. It is very comfortable and it also looks good. They usually wear sneakers or sandals with this outfit.

Mini skirts and knee high boots are some of the most popular Korean street fashion styles. Mini skirts will not make their legs warm but when paired with the boots, it will work in a cold place. And the outfit also looks sexy.

Koreans are also not afraid of colors. They bravely mix and match bright colors that other people will not dare try. This makes the cities of Korea very colourful and happy because of the rainbow of colors. You will see combinations of pink and green, yellow and red, orange and blue, and so on. And for some reason, Koreans can pull it off. They look fashionable and of course, cute, just like most Asian fashions.

You will also see branded clothes and accessories in Korean fashion (surprise, surprise). This is probably typical in almost all city fashions. But it is more obvious in Koreans. Maybe it is the status or satisfaction that makes branded fashion items popular in Korea. Do not be surprised if a woman who is very simply dressed is carrying a branded bag worth hundreds of dollars.
