Andrew Lim Blog » Hurry, Dig A Hole And Hide In It!
No it's not because the apocalypse is coming. It's because the slut of all sluts Tila Tequila is single again and bitch will screw anyone she sees. The bisexual ho has ended her gayelle relationship with Courtenay Semel, daughter of Yahoo! mogul Terry Semel. After a few brief months of bumping clams with Courtenay, Tila's cooch probably started screaming for more variety. I bet she is on the prowl now for anyone who breathes to share her crabs with.

Elena Stevenson Blog » Film Festival Madness
It’s the most wonderful time of the year….and no, I’m not talking about Christmas shopping. I’m talking Asian film festivals, baby. Truthfully, they pop up all around the calendar, but two biggies are this week. Here in the East, check out the First Annual Philly Asian-American Film Festival, October 9-12. Yes, that’s right—you can be a part of the inaugural run. They got the ball rolling with much hard work and grass-roots marketing.

Andrew Lim Blog » Spare Me!
I have always believed that there are only three living beings in this world that won't go away easily. Cher, cockroaches and the bitchy homeless guy near my office who would utter stuff like "well, it's good karma to give money you know" whenever I ignore him. Now there seems to be a fourth. Even my endless prayer to the God of Ultimate Drought cannot seem to take care of this sore in my eye. He is the feminine looking, non-talented and uber annoying Korean Pop star, Rain.

Lan Nguyen Blog » Gu Hye Seon is Makino Tsukushi for Korean Hana Yori Dango
Okay so they’ve finally casted the lead female for Hana Yori Dango, unfortunately it’s not some sexy boy toy who can pass off as a girl. It’s Gu Hye Seon. Never seen her in anything before but she’s won a few big awards: 2007 SBS Acting Awards (New Star Award) and 2006 KBS Acting Awards (New Actress Award). Not only that but she’s sang the theme song for her drama Pure 19 and been in a few music videos. She’s got to be good right?

Ningin Blog » Dan Pink, Anmoku No Ryokai, Dojinshi, and Manga
Daniel Pink gave a greatly entertaining and informative lecture at Japan Society, New York, tonight about the incredible spread of manga around the world. Ningin blogger Mia Lerda and I thought we were going to hear more about Mr. Pink's new book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need, but Mr. Pink gave a larger socio-economic lesson on the power of the dojinshi in Japan's manga-based economy operating under amoku no ryokai. Sounds complex? Well, it is, or near impossible, in a lawsuit-prone USA.

Maimounah Masudi Blog » Asian America:Obama Victory Fund
On Friday October 3, 2008, James Yee and other notables attended an Obama Victory Fund event at the home of Laurie and Scott Oki in Bellevue, WA. The Asian American Finance Committee also headed the event. Representative Mike Honda was scheduled to attend this event, but he was unable to attend, because he was voting on the Emergency Bill to bail out Wall Street. The first person that spoke at this event was Washington State Senator, Maria Cantwell. She talked about why Obama is good for Washington State and for America.

Fangirling Asian Media Blog » Dance Surprise: An Interview with Ichigo Pantsu!
The world of Asian Media is small and you can find fans everywhere, even where you least expect it. 4 months ago I would have never thought that I would be dancing along side Ichigo Pantsu, a group of girls ready to boogy to just about anything. Lara and I had met this group at AnimeNext this year, competing against them in the masqurade. Both our routines involved dancing but, in the end IchiP! kinda kicked our butts with neater costumes and sharper moves.

Tara Popp Blog » The Classics 01: Nami's Like an Indian Doll
All these news about the recent Korean celebrity suicides made me think about the past. My mind went down memory lane, and then I decided to Youtube videos of my favourite ahjumma style songs. Or at least the old songs from when I enjoyed as a child. One of the songs I entered was 인디안 인형처럼 (Indian Inhyung Chu-lum = Like an Indian Doll) originally done by Nami.

Ningin Blog » Wong Kar-wai's
I tried to depart a little from the traditional martial-arts genre. Instead of treating these characters as heroes, I wanted to see them as ordinary people – at the stage before they became heroes. – Wong Kar-wai Wong Kar-wai's restored, re-scored, expanded, recolored and re-edited Ashes of Time Redux premiered tonight at the New York Film Festival. Playing before a sold out crowd at the 1,131-seat Ziegfeld Theatre, Wong Kar-wai was joined on stage afterward for Q&A with the still beautiful actress...
