I do get the impression that Zhang makes no secret of her extra-curricular activities. Gotta give her some credit: aside from her on-screen portrayals of delicate vases who occasionally kick ass, she doesn't seem to go to great lengths to disguise her real-life social agenda. Hey, whatever works, baby!

Now, if only The Superficial would take a crack at this, then you'd read funny:

Ya, I know I have seen the site before...it's actually made me consider starting a second career as a paparazzi... ;-)

Amazing--I guess part of the deal of being an arm ornament for a super rich guy is that the ornament (Ziyi in this case) doesn't pay for anything. At a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden--a prime spot to have your picture taken and run in the Post or Daily News--and she has to have the guy dig into his jeans so she can grab a snack.

Didn't her mother tell her she should always have enough for cab fare when she goes on a date? :D :P

Naahh, she wouldn't need it. She could just walk over to the next section and get a ride home from Spike Lee. :wink:
