The most important thing in a documentary is to have an interesting subject worth studying. In the case of Cheung King-Wai's KJ, the director has definitely found a central character that proves real-life characters can be far more compelling than fictional ones. There's no doubt that the film's titular character, Wong Ka-Jeng (or "KJ"), is a talented musician; at only 11 years old, he went with his father to the Czech Republic to play with a professional orchestra. Seven years later he's already conducting an orchestra at his prestigious private school, helping them to victory at local inter-school competitions. But KJ doesn't care about awards, competitions, and even camaraderie with his ... Read More

I’ll be honest with you, I have absolutely no idea how long this trailer is going to last online (via CBM), but it’s apparently the same extended 5-minute-plus trailer that was shown at Comic Con this past weekend, featuring all of the movie’s main plot points and, at the end, the arrival of the Destroyer to lay down some mega waste. Check it out below. So, does five minutes of “Thor” convince you this movie could actually … work? Thor spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns [...]

I’m not too proud to admit my love for SyFy’s recent string of ridiculous schlock science fiction/action movies. Sometimes it’s like they know what I’m thinking. Who else would have the balls to call something “Mongolian Death Worm”? Seriously, I’m just glad that Lorenzo Lamas still finds work that isn’t reality show based. And what would aging 80’s teen pop sensations to fill their days without films like “Mega Piranha” and “Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus”? (I’m a big proponent of film titles that involve words like “Mega”, “Super”, and “Giant”, and I would really like to see someone climb aboard the “Ultra” train and take that for a spin.) A while ago SyFy announced that Tiffany (yes, that Tiffany) and Debbie (sorry, she’ll always be “Debbie” to me, no matter what she says) Gibson signed to star in something called “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid”. Despite the fact that no one is quite sure what a “Gatoroid” is, though I’m [...]

At first I thought “Yogi Bear” was going to be an animated movie, but as it turns out, it’s a live-action movie where the two main bears are CG. You know, kind of like Jar Jar Binks in those “Star Wars” prequels, only less convincing. If you’re one of those people who read the books when you were a kid, I would encourage you to turn the other way and never look back and forget this ever happened. For the rest of you — witness the “Yogi Bear” teaser trailer. I would like to tell you that the filmmakers actually put some effort into this thing, but that would be a big, bald-face lie. Via Yahoo.

Thomas Jane’s 2009 directorial debut “Dark Country” is a seriously tough nut to crack. Not because the film is a complex masterwork of plot and characterization, mind you, but because I honestly can’t decide whether or not it’s worth recommending. On one hand, the picture is an enjoyably dark and twisty supernatural noir flick, a stylish nod to films nobody seems to make anymore. However, on the other hand, “Dark Country” might be a little too slow and predictable for some modern-day moviegoers to genuinely appreciate. And while I walked away from Jane’s intriguing endeavor feeling mildly satisfied, I’m still not sure if I liked it. That’s not to say that Jane isn’t a skilled director. In fact, I found “Dark Country’s” visual presentation to be quite impressive despite the shortcomings of its computer-generated imagery. The handful of problems I encountered during this frequently maddening excursion are entirely from a narrative standpoint. Structurally speaking, the film isn’t too far removed [...]

Written By: James MudgeLove him or loathe him, and there are plenty of viewers who fall on either side of the line, Wong Jing is in many ways, and in a very real sense, the face of modern Hong Kong Cinema. Certainly, the uber prolific writer, director, producer and actor can be seen to represent the best and the worst of the industry, with his vast, everything but the kitchen sink output being characterized by both crazy creativity and blatantly cynical commercialism. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the sheer number of films Wong Jing has been involved with in one capacity or another, this has led to there being a huge variation in terms of the quality of his work, with many critics and fellow filmmakers seeming to ...

BEIJING,July 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Comic Con 2010 has dropped the curtain in California lask week and many hot Sci-Fi movies and TV series were introduced to audience during the exhibit. Entertainment Weekly magazine has picked a dozen gals who've turned up the heat in the genre (or are primed to) this year. Here's a look: 1.

“The Beauty of Four Seconds.” This is the snarky label from the Internet for Heechul, member of an idol group Super Junior who only has four seconds of solo singing time in “Sorry Sorry,” the title song for the group’s third album. Together, there are 13 members of Super Junior who sang this song. Since all 13 divide up a single song, each member can call himself a “singer” after singing for only four seconds. Lately there are increasing cases in which solo parts of a song last no more than a few seconds, as the number of members in the idol groups such as Super Junior, Girl’s Generation and After School increase. This is contributing to the pop culture in which those who rely on looks or conversation skills are considered “singers” regardless of their singing abilities. Idol Group Members Sing 16 Seconds on Average According to Dong-A Ilbo’s measurements of solo parts, seven idol groups (Girls’ Generation, Super Junior, 4minute, After School, Infinite, MBLAQ, f(x)) appearing on MBC’s “Show Music Core” (July 10), SBS’s “Inkigayo” (July 11) and KBS’s “Music Bank” (June 25), sang for 16 seconds per person on average. Because a song lasts around 3.5 minutes on average, each member of those group sang less than one-tenth of a song, excluding the chorus. Among the groups, Girl’s Generation (singing “Oh!”) had the shortest solo parts, averaging 9.4 seconds per part. The main vocal Taeyeon sang for 22 seconds, while Seohyeon’s solo parts — two lines consisting of “oppa look at me, just look at me” and “listen, really” — amounted to 5 seconds. When After School sang “Bang!”, members Nana and Lizzy had no solo parts; instead, the two sang together for 8 seconds. Jooyeon’s solo part — “The heart-thumping night, my heart is oh oh oh oh” — lasted 4 seconds. Infinite, singing “Come Back Again,” had the greatest time differential among the members’ solo parts. While the main vocal Kim Sunggyu sang for 29 seconds, Lee Sung-Jong, Lee Seung-Yeol and L sang for 1, 3 and 4 seconds respectively. The words that Lee Sung-Jong sang alone were four letters (다 거짓말 “all lies”). Lee Seung-Yeol only had the line, “Feels like I’m going to die, my head hurts.” Lee Young-Joon, director of Infinite’s management company, said: “It is not that the members have different singing abilities. It is more the case that the process of assigning the solo parts while taking the tone of this particular song into consideration made the parts of certain members relatively smaller.” As individual singing is increasingly obscured through the lengthened chorus and the shortened solo parts, certain bloggers have taken to uploading videos of live performances with pre-recorded background music edited out, then proceeding to evaluate the singers. No Shame in No Singing Yoona of Girls’ Generation, in “Family Outing 2″ aired on SBS on June 27, said: “We can’t go longer than ten seconds (on solo parts),” and that her part is five letters. (말하고 싶어 “I want to say.”) Since his debut, Heechul cumulatively sang 39 seconds of all Super Junior title songs; Yoona of Girls’ Generation, 42 seconds; and Nicole of Kara, 45 seconds. Instead of being embarrassed, they appear to treat this as a fodder for laughter. In MBC’s “Radio Star” aired on June 30, Jung-ah, member of After School, was a recipient of a joke from MC Kim Guk-Jin that she was “amazingly, a main vocal.” Jung-ah only responded by laughing and half-heartedly singing one line of a song. Goo Hara of Kara, whom music fans have pointed out for lacking singing ability, invited further criticism by only repeating the refrain “hallo hallo hallo” in Kara’s new song “Lupin,” released February of this year. Music critic Im Jin-Mo said, “If there is only a few seconds of solo parts, a singer will naturally practice less singing — which is what singers are supposed to do,” and noted, “Another problem is that members with less solo parts will feel excluded, which hurts the teamwork of the group, shortening the group’s lifecycle.” Music critic Kim Jak-Ga said, “The more idol groups — who do not put much emphasis on singing — there are in the pop world, there is less room for singers with real talent.” Source: Dong-A Ilbo Article Translated by The Korean Source: K-Bites

So I finally got myself a PS3 and have moved into the world of Blu-ray…sort of. I still need a nice HD TV, but that’s coming. So this won’t be a review of how the Blu-ray quality of the picture held up, though even on the screen I watched it on it was absolutely beautiful. My friend just kept repeating “the animation is sick!” So yeah even without the TV it was gorgeous. Oh and the sound was great too. My other friend that was there was stunned right away by the clarity of sound. So that was cool too. And now that I’ve gotten that out of the way on to what you really came here to find out: was it any good? The answer is a resounding HELL YEAH!!!! I have been a fan of all of the DC animated films, and this is by far the best in my opinion. Though the line started off a little [...]

According to Felix Chong's Once a Gangster, being a gangster in real life is nothing like being one in the movies. Chong, who co-wrote the Infernal Affairs series, reportedly got the idea for the film after talking to real-life triad members who complained that Johnnie To's Election films actually don't reflect how the triad really is today. According to them, no one wants to be the boss anymore because there's no benefit to being so. With that idea, Chong created a story where the central conflict is about two men fighting each other to not become a gang boss. Designed as a reversal of the popular genre, Chong even cast Jordan Chan and Ekin Cheng - stars of the Young and Dangerous series, ... Read More

In recent years, Korea's independent film sector has produced quite a few worthwhile efforts about the experiences of immigrants and foreign workers in South Korea, like Land of Scarecrows, Seri & Harr, Where is Ronny, Bandhobi, and Hello, Stranger. Recently released on DVD, the indie drama Hello, Stranger is the second film from director Kim Dong Hyun, whose previous A Shark stood out for its compelling mix of human drama and black comedy. Like A Shark, Hello, Stranger operates on the premise of encounter and adventure with a simple story that's both loaded and light. The film can be considered a social drama with its depiction of the misunderstandings and challenges faced by those at the ... Read More

Responsible for recent Hong Kong action gems like The Beast Stalker and The Sniper, and further back Beast Cops, Dante Lam has an outstanding track record in directing hardboiled cop movies. Looks like he's still on peak form, as in 2010, Lam is to deliver a couple of high-octane action films to fans of the genre. While it's too early to say how the upcoming The Stool Pigeon will fare, his latest crime film Fire of Conscience is one blazing inferno that easily ranks among his best works. Leon Lai plays a widowed cop who is obsessed with finding the killer of his wife. He has zero tolerance for criminals, and like a walking volcano, he explodes his anger and grief on the bad guys he ... Read More

If you were a rock musician in the ’80s and you’re finding the rock scene kinda slim pickings nowadays, you needn’t worry, there’s always a TV network or two waiting to turn your life into a Reality TV show. The latest ’80s rock icon to jump on the Reality TV bandwagon is Dee Snider, frontman for the band “Twisted Sister” of “I Wanna Rock” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It” fame. You remember him, don’t you? Tall, skinny guy with gaunt features, with a predilection for wearing drags on stage? That’s Dee Snider. “Growing Up Twisted”, a new Reality TV show from A&E, makes its debut this week, and follows the “Twisted Sister” frontman as he deals with everyday life alongside wife Suzette Snider and kids Jesse, a musician; wannabe diva Cheyenne; Cody, a filmmaker; and Shane, an aspiring, of all things, stand-up comedian. Jesse’s wife and child also lives with the family. “Growing Up Twisted” is exactly what you’d [...]

Marc Silvestri and his Top Cow boys have set up their latest comic book to movie foray “Crosshair” over at Mandeville Films, with David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman producing. Created by Marc Silvestri, written by Jeff Katz, and illustrated by Silverstri and Allan Jefferson, “Crosshair” follows a former CIA assassin turned suburban superdad who faces his most dangerous enemy ever – himself. Justin Weller learns that he has 48 hours until a suppressed program in his brain will turn him into an unstoppable killing machine aimed at the President of the United States. Weller races against the clock to uncover and reverse the source of his trigger. “Crosshair” will be the second joint venture by the two companies, following Mandeville’s acquisition of the comic book publisher’s “Alibi” last year. That film, like most Top Cow would-be movies not called “Wanted”, are currently stuck somewhere between development hell and never-gonna-get-made-ville.

As a demented child of the 80′s, yours truly was practically raised on Elvira’s Movie Macabre, a weekly television program devoted to deliriously trashy horror films. The show’s host, the impossibly busty Elvira, helped shape my undying love of cheap, low-budget motion pictures, not to mention my fondness for pale girls with dark hair. Thankfully, the self-proclaimed Mistress of the Dark will return to television sets across the nation on September 25th, courtesy of Trifecta Entertainment & Media. Unfortunately, the show will be syndicated, which means you’ll have to cross your fingers that someone in your area decides to pick it up. Bug your local stations until someone gets a clue. If you’re among those unfortunate individuals who missed out on this cultural phenomenon, be sure to check out one of the original episodes I’ve embedded. If nothing else, at least you’ll finally get a chance to see “Legacy of Blood”. Many enthusiastic nods to Horror-Movies.ca for the proverbial scoopage.

 BEIJING, July 29(Xinhuanet) --Zhang Yimou's new film "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" will open in Chinese cinemas on September 16, the director's producing partner Zhang Weiping has announced. The film will join a blockbuster-filled September, competing with Andrew Lau's "Legend of the Fist: the Return of Chen Zhen", John Woo's "Reign of Assassins" and Tsui Hark's "Detective Dee". "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", based on a popular novel of the same name, tells a poignant love story set in the 1970s. Nineteen-year-old Zhou Dongyu, a little-known actress, plays the lead role. The film marks Zhang Yimou's comeback to the art-house genre after such commercial attempts as "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "A Simple Noodle Story". (Source:CRIENGLISH.com)

If, like me, you’ve been waiting impatiently for Noboru Iguchi’s potentially fabulous action extravaganza “Mutant Girls Squad” to make its way into your loving arms, then there’s a very strong possibility that the picture’s prequel, “Yoshie Zero”, will make your pathetic little day that much brighter. Given how lousy I feel this afternoon, the preview has certainly made my uncomfortably oozing orifices extremely happy. The short film, which will hopefully make its way onto the MGS DVD, focuses on one thoroughly interesting character in particular. If you guessed the smiling schoolgirl with the long tentacle arms, give yourself a cookie and a firm pat on the back. You deserve it. The trailer, as may already have guessed, lies below. Extra special thanks to the boys and girls at Twitch for supplying the footage.

Courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment, here’s an exclusive featurette from the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray release of the horror/thriller “After.Life”, in which writer/director Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo explains how she initially came up with the idea for the movie. The film, meanwhile, arrives on DVD Aug. 3, 2010. In After.Life, Anna’s (Christina Ricci) quest for love and happiness takes a macabre turn when, after a car accident, she wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body. He calmly tells her she’s dead. Her funeral is in three days time. As Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her death, her boyfriend Paul (Justin Long) begins to suspect Eliot may not be who he appears to be. Does Eliot truly have the gift to talk to the dead and help them transition to the afterlife? Or is he concealing a more sinister secret? With its constant edge of menace, After.Life is a stylish [...]

Hollywood remains under attack from aliens.Paramount Pictures is the latest studio to snatch up an aliens-related pitch, this one to be produced by Michael Bay.Though the plotline is getting the Area 51 silent treatment, the project has been described as "Cloverfield" meets "Paranormal Activity." That would indicate one or more of the characters doing the actual street-level filming.Bay, in particular, can't seem to get enough of the sci-fi genre. In addition to filming the third installment of the alien-robots-at-war "Transformers" franchise for Paramount, Bay is producing the aliens-in-high-school thriller "I Am Number Four" for DreamWorks Pictures.That same studio is currently filming "Cowboys &Aliens" with director Jon Favreau at the helm.Meanwhile, Sony Pictures has its aliens-attack-L.A. action movie "Battle: Los Angeles" on the books for a March release in the U.S. At the same time, Universal...

As the consortium led by construction magnate Ronald Tutor and investment firm Colony Capital nears the deadline to complete due diligence on its $675 million acquisition of Miramax Films, seller Walt Disney Co has given them another obstacle to overcome.Disney wants the buyers to put up a non-refundable $40 million down payment on the deal by Wednesday, according to a report on NYTimes.com Monday. If they don't agree, Disney could end their exclusive negotiating period and turn to other buyers, or pull the 611-film library off the market and proceed with distribution of the handful of unreleased Miramax movies (which it is already in the progress of doing).Tutor was quoted as saying he would not put up that kind of money unless he was assured the deal will close. If Tutor and Colony falter, other bidders are waiting in the wings, including Miramax founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who have backing from investor Ron Burkle an...

First we have 4Minute, they will be releasing their new single ‘IMMM’ on 28th July. The girls have headed over to Japan on 27th July. Already earlier in May, the girls released their debut Japanese single ‘Muzik’ and the single went up to the TOP 20 chart on Oricon. Next will be KARA having their official Japanese debut on 11th August. The MV to their Japanese debut song ‘Mister’ was released on 28th July, and they have flown to Japan on the same day to Japan to prepare for their activities for the song. Currently the song is already moving up fast on Oricon charts. Male idol group Big Bang will be releasing a new single ‘Beautiful Hangover’ on 25th August. After Dong Bang Shin Ki, Big Bang is said to be the next Korean newcomer singers to look out for debuting in Japan. They did an open concert on 26th July with the attendance of 8000 fans. Also, there is So Nyeo Shi Dae who will be debuting in Japan with a showcase to be held in late August. And following the showcase, they will be releasing a debut single in September. There has been great interests on the group’s debut in Japan. This August, we will be seeing more Korean singers in the Japanese music scene. And there are many speculations as to who will do better in the market. An entertainment management company representative said, “Regarding who will do better, it is not important. It is important for the Korean idols to throw away the competitiveness. Because currently in the Japanese music market, it is not about just liking one team but liking Kpop as a whole. It is not about just liking So Nyeo Shi Dae or just KARA, but rather ‘liking So Nyeo SHi Dae, KARA and 4Minute.’” “It is not about who will do better, but it is about whether the Korean idols as a whole will be able to capture the Japanese music market.” S:Newsen Source: K-Bites

Known as the Ice Princess of Caldecott, one would hardly expect Rui En to hit off well with anyone. However, it seems that Chen Liping has managed to melt the Ice Queen’s heart. At the press conference for Unriddle, Liping proudly declared that Rui En is no longer a ‘princess’, but an Ice Queen. “However, we are the ‘hottest’ partners so the ice has melted already!” joked Liping. Liping was right about the melting ice: the icy Rui En appeared cheery throughout the press conference and even shared anecdotes. “She has a really infectious laughter and she goes out of breath when she laughs, which in turn makes me laugh as well,” said Rui En. (Video: Liping and Rui En breaks the ice) In Unriddle, the two of them take on leading roles as police investigators working as a team to solve crimes. Liping’s role was originally slated to be played by Zoe Tay; however, she had to back out when she got pregnant with her third child. Judging from their interactions on the press conference and in the interview with xinmsn, Liping and Rui En appeared to have gotten on pretty well despite this being their first collaboration. Contrary to her usually-reserved demeanour, the 29-year-old Rui En frequently cracked jokes and was all praises for Liping. “Liping took great care of me since the first day; she is the most generous artiste I’ve ever met!” Rui En went on to explain that Liping had let her personal assistant help out Rui En unconditionally. Liping also complimented Rui En on her acting. “I thought that she was a good actress when I saw her other works; after working with her, I realize she is better than I thought!” While Rui En’s With You received positive ratings, Liping’s Your Hand in Mine did not go well with audience. Both of them explained that audience response is not within their control and they can only do their own best. “As performers we just concentrate on doing our scenes and doing our own job well. That’s all we can do.” Source

Ending an 18-month-long album drought, singer Lee Hom is finally launching his newest album, Shi Ba Ban Wu Yi. The singer held an autograph session last Sunday prior to the official release of his album, due on July 31. Over 2000 fans from Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Malaysia flew down just to see their idol. The event also attracted over 30 different media to cover the event. However, due to the sheer number of people at the event and the lack of space, two reporters had a tussle over standing positions and stage crew had to allocate extra space to alleviate the tension. The troubles did not end there. It was raining cats and downs and many fans were soaked to the skin. It did not help that reporters were blocking the views of the fans. The already-frustrated fans began shouting angrily that they can’t see the stage and a visibly embarrassed Lee Hom had to appease the crowd by keeping the interview short. “I apologize for everyone having to cram in such a small space. I would’ve been unhappy too if it was me; we better end the interview soon.” Lee Hom’s good friend, singer Vivian Hsu contributed the lyrics of his single and had specially flown down from Japan to attend Lee Hom’s autograph session with a gift: a phone in the form of a red heel. “He’s been working hard every day for his fans and his music. I’m giving him this gift in the hope that he can find a nice partner to cook for him and take care of him.” Source

Actress Gigi Lai is finally a mother. The 39-year-old went through a Caesarian section in a Hong Kong hospital last Saturday. The older twin sister weighs 2.73kg while the younger sister weighed in at 1.36kg. Gigi and her husband, Patrick Ma, have been working hard for a child and a successful artificial insemination procedure finally granted their wish. Gigi was originally scheduled to give birth in August but the couple decided to bring the date forward to an auspicious date. Her elated husband was all smiles when he told reporters the good news. The 53-year-old businessman even invited the reporters to a meal after giving the good news. Patrick revealed that Gigi is happy, although she is tired from the process. He also declined to publicize his daughters’ photos, citing privacy concerns. “The babies want their privacy, so I won’t publicize the photos.” Source

Her career is going smoothly but her family isn’t. According to reports, Taiwanese pop princess Jolin Tsai’s are separated. Reports claim that Jolin’s father did not turn up at Jolin’s mother’s old house last Lunar New Year and he was even absent during Jolin’s sister, Jo’s wedding. The star has also stopped letting her father handle her finances, shifting the job to Jo instead. In fact, the cracks in their marriage appeared years ago, when Jolin’s father was taken to court by a woman he was having an affair with. After a two-week camp-out at the Tsai’s residences, paparazzo finally caught hold of her parents. Jolin’s mother initially declined to answer any questions and went upstairs back home. However, she came back down 10 minutes later and tried to refute the rumours of their separation, saying, “Jolin’s father is upstairs! Where did you see and hear that (news of the separation) from?” Following that, she even brought reporters upstairs to prove that she’s telling the truth. When the reporters saw Jolin’s father, they bombarded him with questions about the separation rumours. Jolin’s father remained silent; but her mother simply answered “No lah,” before closing the door. Jo responded to queries recently through Jolin’s manager, explaining that she is taking over the job of handling Jolin’s finances as her father has plans for retirement. As for his absence at her engagement dinner, Jo revealed that he was simply not available then. “He was in Thailand tying up loose ends for his previous job and he couldn’t make it back in time for the dinner.” Source

It was revealed that Five Girl’s last runner Gina (real name Gina Choi) prepared her debut as the 2nd Park Jiyoon. In a recent interview with eDailySPN, Gina revealed, “Once the debut of Five Girls was cancelled, I returned back to Canada, but I couldn’t give up my dream of becoming a singer. So, I did an audition in Korea again and I went into JYP Entertainment.” Gina was born in Canada and she spent her childhood there. Because she wanted to become a singer, she came to Korea in 2005 when she was about 18 years old, and she did an audition to get into the group Five Girls (which is now called the ‘misfortunate’ group today). After she passed the auditions, she waited for a year as she prepared her debut during her trainee life, but due to agency problems, her debut was cancelled and her team was disbanded. As a result, Gina was heartbroken and she returned to Canada. But, she didn’t easily give up her dream. Once she returned to Canada, she only thought about becoming a singer. During the time of the auditions for Five Girls, Hong Seungsung of JYP Entertainment (but who is now the representative for CUBE Entertainment today) gave Gina another chance of an audition and she was able to come into JYP Entertainment in November 2007. Gina said, “In the beginning, I received my training in New York under JYP, but I came back to Korea in May (2008) to practice. Since then, I prepared my debut as the 2nd Park Jiyoon. Because there wasn’t a female solo singer with outstanding singing and dancing ability like Park Jiyoon sunbaenim did, I wanted to become a female singer with outstanding singing and dancing ability [just like her].” Since Gina’s trainee days, she received attention with her skinny appearance and her nickname was ‘promising seed’  because of her excellent singing ability. Later, when representative Hong Seungsung came out of JYP Entertainment and set up CUBE Entertainment, Gina followed right behind him. In the end of 2008, Gina spent a year and a half preparing for her solo debut, and the results came in on the 14th. Gina showed her strong-will by saying, “When I think about the past, it was a great opportunity for me to become stronger even with all those tragic periods. From now on, I know that the path I’m taking is dangerous, but I will work hard.” On the 15th, Gina had her debut performance and her title song ‘I’ll Back Off So You Can Live’ is gaining popularity on various music charts with high rankings.

A pretty damn good one I might add. The former Yahoo! web designer-turned-popstar has been making female fans swoon with his brand of catchy, karaoke-friendly love songs since 2005. In his fifth studio album, Lo looks to continue to do the same. There is little surprise to why the first singles from the album, Infinitely Big (Track 2) and Love Addiction (Track 3), have been blowing up the charts.

All-American Southern Belle Kelli Giddish returns for her second shot at TV stardom in the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced “Chase”, a new action-adventure TV show landing at NBC in the Fall. The show co-stars Cole Hauser as her partner/possible love-interest, Amaury Nolasco (of “Prison Break” fame) and Rose Rollins as fellow U.S. Marshals, and Jesse Metcalfe as a U.S. Marshal rookie. I’ve seen the pilot episode, and it’s actually a very good show, with plenty of action, and Giddish is quite spectacular in the lead. The show is supposedly set in and around Houston, Texas, so it gets bonus points for that. Check out a couple of videos for it below, including a 3-minute extended preview trailer, and some promo images. Cowboy boot-wearing U.S. Marshal Annie Frost has a sharp mind, a big heart and an attitude to match in this lighting-fast game of cat and mouse that drops you in the middle of the action. Coming to NBC this Fall.
