ABC’s FlashForward cast members John Cho and Gabrielle Union attended the 27th Annual PaleyFest at the Saban Theatre on March 11th in Beverly Hills. Cho plays FBI Special Agent Demetri Noh in the series. He had no flashforward memory and fears that means he will die. He is engaged to Zoey (Gabrielle Union), a lawyer who believed her flashforward was about their wedding until she realized it was possibly his funeral.

Hands down this is one of the BEST shows of the season! Can’t wait until the show resumes on March 18th with a two-hour opener.

Show business can be tough. One day you’re in. The next day you’re out.

Ziyi’s problems are going from bad to worse. Just days ago Emporio Armani officially ended their endorsement deal with Zhang Ziyi due to the negative media attention from the quake donation fund fraud the actress was wrapped up in. Zhang reportedly owed 160,000 yuan for her 1-million-yuan pledge toward the Wenchuan earthquake relief. It wasn’t until the media found out that the actress paid the remaining pledge. Now a new rumor suggests that Zhang cheated the public with her fund-raising activities held in Cannes and New York in 2008. Whoa.

Think that’s all? Not quite. In December 2009 a Beijing-based publication reported that Zhang allegedly had a “special relationship” with a married businessman in Shanghai. In the wake of that scandal Zhang quit the film Snow Flower and The Secret Fan, a project she had planned to star in for a long time.

There is some good news for Zhang Ziyi. She has been cast as the lead in director Gu Changwei upcoming drama, The Era of Magic. Zhang will also produce the film while Aaron Kwok co-stars.

Takeshi Kaneshiro, 36, is rumored to be married and trying for a baby. Last December Takeshi allegedly married a Japanese woman. The couple are said to be residing in Japan.

Of course Takeshi’s management agency emphatically denied ALL allegations. Hmm…if the gossip turns out to be true I know the media is going to hound this man and his wife 24/7. I’ll keep you posted on the latest folks.

TV host Ryan Agoncillo confirmed his wife actress Judy Ann Santos is two months and four days pregnant on the noon-time variety show Eat Bulaga! today (March 12th). The couple were married in a private wedding ceremony on April 28, 2009 in San Juan, Batangas in the Philippines. Judy is also the mother to adopted daughter Johanna Lois.

Karisma, older sister to actress Kareena Kapoor, gave birth to a baby boy at Mumbai Breach Candy Hospital today (March 12th). The Bollywood actress is married to industrialist Sanjay Kapur. The couple has a six-year-old daughter, Samaira, who was born on March 11, 2005.

Congrats to all!

Maggie Q Out, White Girl In As New ‘Nikita’

Remember when everyone thought Maggie Q was set to become the new Nikita? Well, that’s over before it even started. The Asian-American actress has been cast as the OLD Nikita. Lyndsy Fonseca (How I Met Your Mother), a young, pretty, white female, is the NEW Nikita.

Lyndsy play Alex, a 19-year-old felon who – after being sentenced to 25 years in a federal penitentiary – is recruited by a secret government agency to hunt down the title character (Maggie Q), her predecessor. She’s detailed as an “attractive, young, white female with virtually no personal ties or paper trail,” a profile which is deemed ideal for their kind of work. Aaron Stanford, Melinda Clarke and Shane West also star in the Warner Bros. Television-based hour, which Danny Cannon is directing off a script by Craig Silverstein.

Bottom line: America Hollywood sucks when you’re not white.
