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.
Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst is set to make her directorial debut this summer.
The 25-year-old star will make a short film based on a ghost story sent to Glamour magazine by a reader. “I’m directing my first short this summer. It’s a ghost story.
“They’re totally giving me carte blanche. I pick the letter. I write my script. I pick everyone I want to collaborate with, it’s great.”
The film will be part of the Reel Moments series, a project run by Glamour magazine which showcases short films made by women based on readers’ stories; previous contributors include Jennifer Aniston and Robin Wright Penn.

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.

I bet Paris is going to publish a book and become even more famous after serving her jail time. Hope that she will not be victimized in jail because of her celebs status though.
Avril Lavigne was (or perhaps still is) in Hong Kong for her concert on Thursday night (May 4).
These are some pics when she arrived at the airport, seems to be in good mood…

An Indian court has issued arrest warrants for Richard Gere, the Hollywood actor, and Shilpa Shetty, the Bollywood star, after he kissed her on the cheek at a public event to promote AIDS awareness.
I think the arrest order is harsh, but I don’t like to ridicule others’ culture; the world is so big and the culture and believe is so different on different side of the world.
India is not doing good international publicity for themselves though… Richard Gere was there for charity purpose, to help India to battle AIDS, and this is what he gets.
