But if you cannot see a woman's h0le or a picture of the h0le, then you can evaluate nothing!

I find the "horseface" comment the most amusing. This kind of commentary about Chinese starlets just goes to show how the Chinese above all other needs absolutely MUST criticize and belittle so they can feel better about themselves.

Cool! I think that CCTV hit the mark mostly. Does anyone else think Zhao Wei is part Jewish? Doesn't she remind you of Rachel Weisz? I want MORE of this flavorful commentary not less! But I disagree about ZZY. I like her lower lip but otherwise I don't find her exciting.

Any self respecting Chinese mother would tell things a lot worse and more critical to her daughter in a heartbeat. Oh and don't forget the whole Gong Li is fat comments I hear all the time. Just because she isn't flat like 99.999% Chinese women it doesn't make her fat for goodness sake. I find the beauty trend or the increasing emphasis on it very alarming.

This country is so fvked. It's not like this is some trashy mag or something, this is CCTV promoting the ever-present shallow and superficial Chinese ideal.

That's some pretty whack commentary. I've actually seen Zhou Wei and Zhou Xun up close in casual settings where they weren't accompanied by multiple starf****** handlers. Both were absolutely adorable without any airs about them. Conversely, I was able to side up to Gong Li (an Elle party) and Zhang Ziyi (as an extra in a Coke commercial) without the same feeling. While flashing smiles left and right, I watched poor Gong Li's face quiver as she struggled to 'be on' nonstop. Her's was an air of woman longing for a whisky and a back door to slip out of. As for Zhang Ziyi, I never can figure out what the fuss is about? You can walk a city block in Shanghai and eye 10 gals more head-turning than her. Up close to the star on the Coke set, I experienced a sensation akin to watching paint dry—or reading Dan Kedl's backpage column in 'that's'. Ok, clearly I have too much free time today.

wtf?! Zhou Xun looks like her face got hit by car, and Zhao Wei's teeth are not very white? My god, let it rain good taste in China, please.

Puts Joan Rivers in the shade- this is my favourite: "Zhou Xun is almost perfect. If you are critical, her only shortcoming is that her mouth looks like an old lady's. The fucking ugly slag."
