Allan Wu, the American-born Chinese host of The Amazing Race: China Rush, the reality television series now airing on International Channel Shanghai (ICS), has received flak for comments he allegedly made in the Shin Min Daily News, a Chinese-language broadsheet known in Singapore for its trashy tabloid content. more ›

The Amazing Race's China Rush is returning for a second season, and for all of you in China, here's your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the show! more ›

Shanghaiist reader MF in China sent this funny little screen grab of a recent movie showing on the international language channel here in Shanghai, ICS. The film was a classic from the early 1990s - a dark crime drama directed by David Mamet, starring Joe Mantegna as a cop investigating the murder of an elderly Jewish candy shop owner.

Well hello there, we just wanted to point out our tiny little cameo in a recent episode of ICS' Shanghai Quest. This showing was about contemporary art, a subject we admittedly barely touch on, but it featured Chris Gill and the article he wrote for us. We knew those 2009 retrospectives would be good for something! Check out the episode here, we're at the 8:06 mark. Woah, calm down now, we'll get to signing all your autograph requests in a moment. more ›

In case you didn't think you were getting enough information about the Expo spoon fed to you already, organizers are planning to bring an Expo TV channel to the city's airwaves in March.

This week's Shanghai Rush elimination interviews is a two-for-one, since we only got around to watching the last two episodes on Youku (sorry, but it loads sooo slow outside of China!). Last last week, mother and son team Norma and David got kicked off after failing the map challenge.

The two weren't even originally supposed to be together. Both William and Lauren had come to Shanghai Rush auditions with partners who couldn't make it, and so they decided to join up to become one of the more unlikely pairs of the season. more ›

The most recent episode of Shanghai Rush, the first English-language reality show of its scale in China, saw intrepid Shanghai newbies, Matti and Justin get kicked off. Ultimately, a streak of terrible luck and their inability to communicate (often with hilarious results) caused them to come in last in a competition that took them all over the Songjiang district. more ›

We hope everyone's readying their tv sets to watch Shanghai Rush, China's first English-language reality show, which premiers tonight at 8pm on ICS. While others have taken a sneak peek at the first episode - in which we're introduced to the ten teams of two that will be gracing our televisions for the next twelve Sundays - we decided to have a chat with the man behind the scenes: Eric Ransdell, director. more ›
