Macau born actress Isabella Leong is set to star in “Mummy 3″ according to some recent reports.
Isabella is reported to be starring as Michelle Yeoh’s daughter. Isabella’s agent refused to comment on this matter, which normally means that the news is true; otherwise the agent would have denied it.
Earlier last week young Chinese actress Crystal Liu was rumored to star in Mummy 3 as well. From the reports it seems that Isabella is taking a different role… but it’s just a guess; everything can only be confirmed when it’s officially announced.
Mummy 3 also stars Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Mario Bello and Luke Ford. The movie will start filming in July in Montreal (Canada) and Xi’an (China).
American born Chinese artist Jaycee Chan and popular Malaysian singer Penny Tai was spotted having dinner together in Taiwan.
Jaycee (Jackie Chan’s son) was rumored to be in relationship with Penny sometime ago… but the rumors ended after Jaycee was linked to Hong Kong artist Fiona Sit instead.
Well, not sure if they are just friends or dating… either one of the relationship won’t hurt.

Malaysian born star Nicholas Teo (Zhang Dong Liang) has bought a million dollar house* worth around NT10 million.
Nic and Taiwanese artist Cyndi Wang have become popular stars since starring in TV drama “Sonria Pasta” in 2006. The drama is so popular in Taiwan that the TV station decided to re-air again.
Besides that, Sonria Pasta is also set to show in China and Singapore, which should make Nic and Cyndi more famous… and probably richer as well.
Nic also have the luxury to travel in Dubai Europe recently, but was sad that his favorite notebook PC was stolen in Florence.
Nic is currently busy with his latest album, which is scheduled to release on June 1.
* (exact purchase price not reviewed; USD1 ~ NT30)
Recent rumors indicate that young Chinese actress Liu Yifei might be starring in Hollywood movie “Mummy 3: Curse of the Dragon.”
Besides Brendan Fraser, Asian stars Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have agreed to join the movie. The producer is still looking for a young Asian actress to fit in a supporting role, and Yifei has caught their attention.
Liu Yifei is currently filming “Forbidden Kingdom” with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, while the filming of Mummy 3 is set to start filming in China in August… so the schedule might be a bit tight. However, since that Jet Li is also tied with both movies, I doubt the schedule is not an issue for Yifei. Question is, how true is the rumor?
