One Asian World

Lin Chi-ling and Takuya Kimura are set to star in a new Japanese drama series.

According to the Japanese media, the upcoming drama series will be produced by Fuji TV and Lin will take on the role as a model engaged to shoot a series of advertisements for Kimura’s design company. Feelings will start to develop between the pair’s characters over time.

The drama is set to air in May 2010. I’ll keep you posted.

Longines spokesmodel Lin Chi-ling signed autographs at the watch brand’s event in Taiwan on Jan. 30th. Btw, when reporters asked about Treasure Hunter being voted the worst film of 2009 Chi-ling simply responded that others enjoyed the film.  (Translation: People, I know my film sucked. Let’s just talk about watches today! Geez!)

Didn’t want to go old school on ya but Jay Chou’s latest TV and film ventures are Wack (with a capital W). Pandamen did not live up to all the hype…at least in Mainland China. Three days into the show the ratings were merely 0.06, equivalent to only 5000 viewers — the lowest in the history of viewership. Embarrassing to say the least. To make matters worse, his latest flick Treasure Hunter (which he and Lin Chi-Ling co-produced) was rated by PPT members as 2009’s worst movie. Embarrassing +2.

Hmm…I can only image his performance in the upcoming movie The Green Hornet.

Does Zhao Wei look rounder? The West China City Daily reported the actress is five months preggers. There has been wide speculation Zhao and bf property tycoon Huang Youlong secretly registered their marriage in Singapore last summer. I guess time will naturally tell if Zhao will be a new mom.

Grandpa Patrick Tse revealed to the media on Sunday his daughter-in-law, actress Cecilia Cheung is expecting another boy. Nicolas and Cecilia are parents to Lucas, their first child born in 2007. Cecilia is due to give birth in May.

Sources close to Diether Ocampo said the actor and girlfriend Rima Ostwani have parted ways. No reason given for the split…yet.

Lin Chi-ling makes it clear AGAIN she is not engaged to bathroom equipment heir Scott Qiu. Bathroom heir…funny.
