Yeah, kind of a Bai Ling-y sort of thing... [/quote]


Well, that tears it! I now firmly believe that if someone types Bai Ling's name on an internet forum, she will do something stupid in public.

Actually, I think you've got that wrong. The correct translation should be:

"Edison Chen called uncreative, overpriced and poor quality."

No need to thank me. Glad I could help.

And what _is_ the deal with Sammi Cheng these days, anyway? I hope she's recovering from whatever has been ailing her the past couple of years.

A certain assistant of yours once told me about a radio interview in which Sammi Cheng claimed that her helpers thought she was slim, so they bought outfits that were too small, so Sammi was bascially forced to exercise in order to fit in them (apparently she lacked the power to ask them to return things). Some celebs must really think their fans are stupid, although I'm sure some folks might have bought it.

Wow, that's pretty shady on the helpers part. Sammi's lucky that they didn't spike her food and drink with dieuretics and laxatives.

Zoinks !

Yeah, I really feel like I know her now.

I could probably pick her breasts out of a line-up and I don't go out of my way to catch Bai Ling pictures.
