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.
Some photos of Singaporean singer Stefanie Sun, taken during her music video filming in Egypt.
Well, more twist has been added to the “Stefanie Sun threatened in Egypt” saga…
While hundreds of reporters were waiting at Taiwan airport; Stefanie (孫燕姿) decided to fly back to Singapore, MV director flew to Japan, and the rest of the filming crew were forbidden to speak a word to the press… that left the press clueless about the incident, and speculations were sparked like wildfire.
I understand that Stefanie would probably want to accompany her mother back to Singapore (her statement was that she’s not feeling well), but the “no-comments” responses from the other crew and Stefanie’s company are rather weird… what are they trying to hide?
Singapore singer Stefanie Sun (孫燕姿) was threatened in Egypt while filming a music video.
Singapore artist Fann Wong (范文芳) is joining Huayi Brothers, one of the largest China entertainment conglomerates.
According to Huayi’s spokesmen, Fann Wong has signed the contract 2 weeks ago, and an official announcement of the contract signing will be made after Chinese New Year.
Fann Wong was quite popular in China in late 90s with TV drama “Return of Condor Heroes” (1998 version) and a few other Chinese TV series.
It’s probably a win-win deal for both ends, as Huayi will use Fann’s popularity in South East Asia to expand their market; while Fann Wong could capitalize on Huayi’s China network to rebuild her popularity.

It’s an old advertisement in 1999 from Singapore star Fann Wong. Fann sure got some loyal fans that are able to dig out these 2 commercial ad from 7 years ago.
The advertisement was show in Taiwan for Daily-C orange juice, not even sure if the product is still in the market lol.
Singapore singer Stefanie Sun YanZi has joined EMI-Capitol, the same music recording company with Taiwan pop star Jolin Tsai.
Stephanie and Jolin are good buddies, and are 2 of the most influential Chinese singers currently. Both of them share different music genre though, so there’s not too much competition in between.
I just hope that Stephanie doesn’t undergo drastic image change like Jolin after signing for EMI-Capitol. Both of them will just need to focus on their singing.
