Post-olympics celebrity and trivia round-up

by Philip Gowman on 31 August, 2008

in Celebs, Lee Hyolee, Rain, VoDs

It’s been so long since I did a round-up of celebrity news, and nowadays my knowledge of what’s hot in the celebrity world is derived from looking at my site’s statistics where I can identify the google search terms which have landing people on my blog. [1] So here is a collection of random stories [...]

Banish your Monday blues

Two little items to brighten your Monday.
First, if ever you thought the TV in your particular country was trashy, just be thankful they haven’t plumbed the depths of “Racing Model Billiard Championship”.

“This is a sport I really would like to see catch on,” comments the Party Pooper [1]. “Some geniuses over at the Xports channel [...]

It’s a while since I did a round-up of celebrity news, which means that I’ve almost forgotten all the things I was going to mention, and lost most of the links that I was going to use. So before things get completely out of hand, here’s one of my not-so-regular posts shamelessly plundering the celebrity [...]

Photos keep celebs in the news

26 March 2007 Celebs

Our lives would be so much more drab without the occasional celebrity pic to cheer us up. So thanks are due to the paparazzi, the lads mags, the celebrity bloggers and, not least, the celebs’ own PR teams, for adding spice to our daily fare. Here’s some recent and not-so-recent pics.

Rain, LKL’s man of the year 2006 has started 2007 on a low-note with a speeding ticket in Hong Kong at the start of his gruelling tour. He also underwhelmed one reporter at a Singapore press conference who found him just a little dull. This wasn’t a reflection on his performance on-stage (and I’ve yet [...]

Of Ostriches and Royal Warrants

18 December 2006 Business

Why is it newsworthy to call someone an ostrich? The obvious answer, particularly when the person who’s being called an ostrich agrees, is that it isn’t. But when it’s heart-throb Jung Woo Sung calling TV soap princess Kim Tae-hee an ostrich, it’s an excuse to publish their photos and mention their upcoming film “Joongchun” or [...]

Last week someone accused this site of being professional and serious. I know it was probably meant as a compliment, but I realise I haven’t posted anything about Lee Hyolee recently. I spotted this in the Chosun recently, and I’m hoping my friend Hye-sook has taken the hint and will bring me back a copy [...]

Two updates on recent stories

27 March 2006 Celebs

Lee Hyo-lee has decided that discretion is the better part of valour, and has withdrawn performances of her single which allegedly steals from Britney’s work. And the Jeon Ji-hyun vehicle Daisy, in its third week in circulation, has now plummeted out of the box office top ten.

Korean protests baffle Belgians

23 March 2006 Celebs

I can’t put it better than the Chosun Ilbo’s own headline. One of the more peculiar stories.
In fact today’s Chosun is packed with entertaining stories: Britney Spears’s songwriters accuse Lee Hyo-lee of plagiarism; and a sex survey by pharmaceutical company Bayer finds Korean men the most selfish in bed.

Hyo-lee goes for gold

Thumbnail image for Hyo-lee goes for gold

Any excuse to post a photo of Lee Hyo-lee. I don’t care whether she can sing or not, and can’t comment on her urbane charm (a quality possessed by most female K-pop stars, if you believe the blurb at YesAsia).
Hyo-lee Goes with the ‘Gold Look’
Chosun Ilbo, Sep 27, 2005
Korean pop star Lee Hyo-lee chose the [...]

Fourth most desired female rear belongs to a transsexual

17 October 2004 Celebs

Sorry to be a bit tabloid, but I just had to preserve this article from the Chosun Ilbo, which illustrates the Korean obsession with plastic surgery.
