Cherie Chung
(4/4/2008) Cherie Chung Chor Hung since her husband Chu Ka Ting's
passing has kept to herself. Earlier she was rumored to suffer from
depression. After months of recovery, Hung Goo two nights ago attended
Prada's new store opening. Hung Goo finally gave her famous brilliant
smile in front of the media and admitted that she has started to wear
colorful clothing again. When asked whether she had any suitor, she
smiled and said, "As you wish."

Earlier Chow Yun Fat expressed that he would like to act with
Hung Goo, who cited that she has not had any plan to. Would she return?
She expressed that she had a lot that she would like to and needed to
prepare first. However they might not necessarily be in show business.
Would she work on Fat Gor's film? Hung Goo said that they have not had
any contact lately but she really wanted to see Fat Gor's new film. Has
Fat Gor asked her to return? Hung Goo expressed that they would not talk
about that.


LET CRAZED FANS CONTINUE TO BE CRAZY

Rice is expensive, but not as expensive as sesame.

Someone put 23 sesame seeds that was supposedly left over from
Jolin Tsai (Choi Yi Lam)'s breakfast on an online auction. The bid
started from NT$1 to the final bid was NT$40,200.

Would someone truly use this much money to buy 20 some sesame
seeds?
The writer would not dare to say that no one would be like crazy
for an idol, but he does not eliminate the possibility that the seller
may be in a conspiracy to at least create entertainment news.

If sesame seeds that idols leave are worth so much, artists from
now definitely can make a lot. If everything that they have touched and
used are auctioned, they would make more than selling their talent and
art.
Although the online seller insists on the goods being real, Choi
Yi Lam's management company states that she has never eaten breakfast at
that fast food restaurant. Thus the 23 left over sesame seeds were not
real.

If they were truly left over, so what? Those sesame seeds did not
necessarily touched her mouth, or even any contact with her. They are
worth less than a bottle of water that she has drunk from or a strand of
her hair.

What are a few sesame seeds? Stars throw away too much everyday,
their assistants and workers around them would not treat them like any
"treasure". They do not even have a thought of collecting them.

The world indeed has many crazed fans who might do anything dumb
for their idols. Even if they are fooled they do not care.

These crazed fans have very low self esteem. When they want to be
dumb and silly, no one can stop them. They should continue to be fooled
or swindled until they wake up.

Idols are people too, they are only more successful in certain
areas and have a little more natural talent than the ordinary people.

Crazed fans worship their idols to the extremes. They do not
know that they are already somewhat abnormal and out of control in the
eyes of others, they still without any care chase stars everyday, scream
in front of their idol, break down when they are hindered and behave
unusually.

Honestly, these people's behavior cannot be stopped because we
have no way to use reasonable words to convince unreasonable people.

Interesting. While his performance in LADY IRON CHEF was indeed forgettable, I have to wonder if he got nominated for his far worse work in 2006's WE ARE FAMILY. Now that's a disinterested performance if ever there was one, especially during the finale. :lol:
