This week in talent contests: Has China found its own Harisu?

Simple script, shallow plot, but still quite charming - It's not theater, so call it by its name!
Recently "Tale of 4 Cities" launched it's weekly dinner "theater" series, a Thursday cabaret evening with the vision to impart a bit of "Le Gai Paris" into Shanghai´s nightlife scene.

It's a drag show, pure and simple - and a charming one full of social potential - so you might as well just call it by its proper name and put it in its proper genre.

Tuesday Timewaster: Nobody but you

In that case, get this kid a contract now! We haven't heard his singing voice, but his dancing has already beat half the competition. Also loving: his choice in music. Nothing like the Wonder Girls' Nobody But You to brighten up your mid-day.
