• BTW, there's another Asia Uncut tomorrow and the main guest? Well, his name starts with Jack and ends with EEchen. We hope they ask him about his Shanghai museum, what ever happened to that? Free entry plus free booze and food at reception as always. Contact tickets@asiauncut.com to RSVP.
• Okay, so there's this place in Pudong that has a two-kilo hamburger and since the butcher is now leaving, they're doubling the debauchery. Now you can go to Yasmine's and get a four-kg monster. If you manage to finish it, you'll not only have you 198RMB burger fee waived, but you'll also get a 200RMB certificate for the butchers shop. Can you put that towards your upcoming coronary?

• Cityweekend takes a look at some of Shanghai's coziest bars, including some that have ANIMALS in them! ANIMALS! OMG OMG OMG! [Cityweekend]

• Asia Uncut is filming again this Thursday (Jan 14), and this time the megastar guest is Donnie Yen (of Ip Man and Bodyguards and Assassins fame). If you want to be a part of the audience, email tickets (at) asiauncut (dot) com.
• While it's not IMAX exactly, Shanghai's Jinyi International Cinema is sporting a pretty sweet Sony-4K digital 3-D screen that will open next month. [Cityweekend]
• This month, Interkom Youth and Community Center Shanghai is presenting an "Arts Charity Extravaganza" called ACE 2010... and it's run entirely by students! [Shanghai Talk]

Woah, it's time for another Asia Uncut already? Yes, and not only is this one early in the week, it's also earlier in the day. Arrive at 4pm to start taking advantage of all the free wine and food, and the show will get going at 5pm. Why so soon? Because they needed to fit it in with the celebrity guest's schedule - Edward Norton is in town, but not for very long! To be part of the audience, RSVP with info (@) asiauncut (.) com and head over to Motion Magic Building on Guangzhong Xi Lu, Lane 777, No. 11, near Wanrong Lu ( 多媒体产业园, 广中西路777弄11号近万荣路) tonight. more ›

So you read our review of Asia Uncut. What did you think? Did it sound like something you'd like to take a part of? If it did, we just wanted to remind you that it's tonight (with the show starting at around 8pm, but a buffet line of booze and food available from 6:30pm onwards), and now the folks responsible for Asia's new late night sensation have spilled the beans - the VIP guest is Tom Arnold. Tom Arnold of "I married Roseanne" fame. Well, also Tom Arnold of Tom Arnold is a really funny comedian and will probably say something that will make giggle fame too.

We went to Asia Uncut yesterday. Yep, on the Asia-based late night talk show's season premier (its set has now been moved from Singapore to Shanghai), we were in the audience and we've decided to tell you the one thing you should know about this fun new thing to do on a Wednesday Thursday night: Asia Uncut's host, Jon Niermann, looks uncannily like Shanghaiist's founding editor. more ›

Our friends at Fly Films (who recently helped produce that whole Shanghai Rush thing) are now moving past reality and looking for character actors! They're now working on an English-language TV talk show (premiering on Star World) and they want people to populate it. more ›
