Japanese pop star Ayumi Hamasaki was in Hong Kong for almost a week to film her latest music video, featuring Hong Kong artist Shawn Yue.

It’s unimaginable how the LA’s law system works… Paris Hilton could be sent into jail for 45 days, and released after 3 days to serve the sentence at home due to undisclosed medical condition, and now the court has ordered that she be put into jail again.
Sounds more like a Hollywood movie plot than what is happening in real life. I guess Paris Hilton will have enough dramas to write a book about the saga now.

Korean star Kim Jeong-hoon is set to star with Taiwanese star Vivian Hsu in their next drama “Love Strategy.”
KJH is made famous with Korean drama “Goong” (or “Princess Hours”); Love Strategy will be his first Chinese TV drama. Vivian seems a good choice to pair with him (despite the age difference), her popularity in Chinese region will make KJH more famous.
Vivian has not signed the contract officially, but it’s likely that she will be the leading actress according to various sources. Not sure when the drama will start filming and airing though.

Japanese artist Megumi Okina has decided to retire from her entertainment career at the age of 27.
Megumi has been working in the entertainment world since she was 13; and according to some news report, she is tired with her entertainment career and wanted to live a simple life.
Megumi is not among the top stars all these years, but she has always been popular. International audience would probably know her as the leading actress in horror movie “Ju-on.”
Malaysian born actor Christopher Lee has given up his appeal and will serve his 4-weeks jail term.
Christopher was found guilty in early May for drink driving in Singapore, causing injury to a motorcyclist and pillion rider in a hit-and-run accident in October 2006. He is also fined for S$4,500 and is disqualified from driving for 3 years.
He should count himself lucky… Paris Hilton is sentenced to jail for 23 days for traffic offences and she didn’t even hit a person (yet).
Christopher has paid more than S$60,000 in compensation to the victims for their injuries, and has expressed his regrets in an official statement issued by his manager.
Let’s hope he will learn his lesson for real… I wonder if his relationship with Fann is affected with this case.
