Don't worry. He'll be able to suck just as much with just one hand. (P.S. It's Lydia Shum. You left out the h.)

Is it such a big deal over there? Im Hollywood all this kind of garbage is quite normal.Stupid girls to let their photo be taken. The worst thing about these photos is the hair! Its sickening..I thought every woman these days knows about waxing. The photos are not sexy, cant see past all that disgusting hair.

With Gillian it's a brand thing for sure. Her company had her, as part of Twins, making public statements about being against pre-martial sex and stuff like that. Bobo Chan is already retired from the industry. Cecilia is already linked with parties and triads and all that. Edison himself likes to promote himself as a hip-hop bad boy type. Especially on his company blog. But there isn't a tipping point for the gossip - I mean, Hong Kong is famous for having the most aggressive tabloid press in the entertainment world. They even published nudes of Carina Lau taken while she was kidnapped. They're not conservative. They are crazy, no-moral gossip kings who'd do anything for a dollar. Just like any self respecting tabloid anywhere in the world. Who'd be a celebrity eh? is the money worth having you kids followed to school by strangers, trying to pay off your Aiyi to get inside you house etc? I dunno, what do you all think? Celebs - fair targets or victims?

it is a big deal from a business point of view. a major artist management group has had their portfolio of 'brands' value destroyed. perhaps not overnight, but this is a significant economic story that will be taught in business schools in years to come. and yes, asians are fairly conservative and would react so - but this might be a tipping point for celebrity gossip in asia as well. can there be an asian Paris Hilton ?

Talking of easy to get - the english language blog Hollywood Grind has a constantly updated page on the scandal. They have all 1300 pictures and even bought a new server to cope with the demand. They put up a new set in their entirety each day. Although, it's getting kind of old now.
