Dear YummyCelebrities readers,
This is a major site announcement. I am ‘merging’ this site with my personal site at YeinJee.com (my real name btw). That site is undergoing some overhaul as well and has little content at the moment, but I will be updating the site pretty soon.
The original contents of the site will stay as it is; readers can still leave comments and share info with other visitors, but I will no longer be updating this site anymore.
The new website (YeinJee.com) covers topic about food, travel, lifestyle, entertainment and other fun stuff. If you only want to know about entertainment related info, you can read these at the Pop Culture topic section, which will share primarily Asian entertainment and lifestyle information.
I will be redirecting feeds and email subscribers to the Pop Culture section as well, simply meaning that you would not need to change anything, and will receive the updates when the site is updated with Asian pop culture contents (but not other contents like travel etc.)
After running YummyCelebrities for two and half years, I felt kinda jaded with the the things that I am writing. What you can expect from the new website, is less gossips but more info on movies & music & drama reviews as well as more insightful contents.
I know not all of you will like the idea, but I hope that most of you will give that site a chance. If you love YummyCelebrities, there is a good chance that you will like YeinJee.com as well.
Thanks for the support all this while; look forward for more good times ahead with you all at the new place.
Regards,
YeinJee.

Hong Kong star Fiona Sit was hit by a man with a water bottle on Feb 23 when she was attending a charity event.
The attacker was alleged to have thrown the bottle towards Fiona, which hit her right face and another worker at the event. Both of the victim didn’t suffer any major injuries, although Fiona’s face was a bit swollen after the incident.
The attacker claimed that it was an accident, but there are videos and eyewitnesses that suggest otherwise. The reason behind the attack is still unclear.
The attack has raised fear among Hong Kong artists about their personal safety in public area, as another female artist Angela Tong was slapped on her face just about a month ago.
British-born star Mischa Barton has been charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana by LA police.
The former star of “The O.C.” is facng four misdemeanors: driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood alcohol level, driving without a valid license and possession of marijuana (28.5 grams or less).
Barton, 22, was arrested in West Hollywood on Dec 27 after her vehicle was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and she failed to signal when making a turn, police have said.
This kind of behavior seems like becoming a trend in Hollywood these days… especially among up and rising stars. It’s kinda disappointing to see these news.

Veteran Hong Kong actress Lydia Sum passed away this morning (Feb 19) at the age of 60.
Lydia had been suffering from liver problem since 2006, which led to other illness. Early reports suggested that Lydia passed away due to multiple organ failure.
Lydia had started her entertainment career since the age of 13, and was one of the most respectable artists in Hong Kong. She would be sorely missed.
Rest in peace Lydia, thanks for the laughters all these years.
