I love headlines like this:

http://english.cri.cn/3086/2006/12/06/44@171326.htm

The seem to be in media all over the world--not limited to entertainment coverage although writing about hype driven pop divas and divos is the perfect venue for it.

And it sounds much more exciting than:

Nick Cheung sodomized!

(12/5/2006) Nick Cheung Ka Fai in the film WISE GUY NEVER DIES (TAI FONG LO CHIN) has made many new attempts including playing a Mainland character for the first time, shaving his head for the first time and showing his rear. In a prison scene he was first beaten up then sodomized. At first director Wong Jing did not ask him to show his rear, but he felt that if he did not the scene would not be too good. So he decided to volunteer to show his rear in the performance.

"In the story I was sodomized. Since the process was not shown, I still needed to give the audience some idea so I asked for showing the full moon."
