And because Chan has the biggest boner for the Chinese government, it's a historic epic that will coincide with the centennial of the Wuchang Uprising, when Sun Yat-sen's forces overthrew the Qing Dynasty and founded the Republic of China. Called 1911, it will be released simultaneously in China and the U.S. in October.

After the recent hair care scares related to Bawang Shampoo, more and more people are turning to homemade shampoo recipe - even after product quality officials debunked the original reports of excess carcinogens. more ›

Forbes' Gady Epstein has written up a hilarious satire (complete with pictures!) calling into question what would happen if the devastating BP oil spill off the U.S.' gulf coast had actually happened in China. Would BP CEO Tony Hayworth have been executed for his role in this "atypical ocean event"? Hint: kind of. more ›

Oh gosh, I knew that Jackie Chan was a Canon spokesperson from the copious amounts of giant billboards in Xujiahui and Lujiazui's computer districts, but who knew he had his own personally branded Rebel T2i/550D? more ›

In 1984, a touching and off-beat coming of age drama called The Karate Kid graced cinema screens and became a commercial success. 25 years later, Hollywood is placing its bets that the same story with the same name, told in a completely different setting, will be just as bankable. more ›

I guess it's not technically possible to be disappointed by something you had no hopes for in the first place, so I don't really have much to say about this that I didn't mention already. Oh, except, Jaden Smith is a REALLY buff twelve-year-old. more ›

The first screens of the new "Karate Kid" movie are out and well... here they are. As previous reports stated, it stars Will Smith's kid (Jaden Smith) as a troubled 11-year-old who's come to China with his mom and learns martial arts from an eccentric Asian master. more ›

Jackie Chan may be an adorable and well-liked kung fu superstar, but he sure doesn't seem to know when it's time to stop talking. We've recorded several of his gaffes before, including one made earlier this year when he insinuated that Chinese need to be controlled... but this latest interview really takes the cake. more ›

One of the cutest things we've found in our search for funny National Day things is this homemade music video. Set to the tune of Jackie Chan's "Country (国家)," it features a class of (it seems) 60 year olds and their families singing along, posing around Chinese flags and generally being absolutely psyched about their patriotism. more ›

We think the pictures speaks for itself, but in case you have trouble recognizing this triple threat of Chinese celebrity, that's Lang Lang playing air piano, Jackie Chan giving you the thumbs up and Yao Ming towering above them with a slightly deflated looking Haibao perched on his shoulder. Oh wait, maybe that makes this a fearsome foursome? more ›

China Music Radar tipped us off to a CCTV article about the Top 5 music videos playing in China right now. Stats you should know: more ›

We knew you were curious about what song Jackie Chan sang this morning to welcome in the Expo year-long countdown, so we went and looked for it on Youku. Turns out there's already a video featuring Jackie, Lang Lang and Yao Ming! more ›

Say what you will about celebs talking politics, but perhaps, this is Jackie Chan at his best - wearing his Greennovate Green T-shirt and looking sweet as a little kitten. And come on, who didn't enjoy the bathtub scene in Shanghai Noon with Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan drinking baiju and wearing nothing but bubbles? That almost makes it okay that he thinks Chinese people need to be controlled... right? more ›

Kung fu movie-star Jackie Chan stirred up international outrage and accusations of racism Saturday with his comment that the Chinese people can't handle too much freedom. more ›

Everybody in China loves Jackie Chan. And now everybody in Shanghai could get the chance to go to the world's first Jackie Chan museum. The super-popular actor has allegedly donated one of his antique Chinese homes to the Shanghai government. more ›

Film star Jackie Chan has donated RMB10million to help those in need following the earthquake in Sichuan province. Other celebrities have also dipped into their wallets. From CriEnglish:

Despite some unfavorable reviews, Jackie Chan is currently riding high on the success of his mega-blockbuster Forbidden Kingdom. As such, many are overlooking his brilliant work currently gracing the international satellite television waves. But no longer. This clip comes from a recent ad campaign by the Hong Kong Travel Association (HKTA), a push to bring more attention to the city hosting the Olympic Games' ever-popular equestrian events that will no doubt help to revitalize the long-dormant talking horse genre (See: Mr. Ed and Hot to Trot). more ›

This self-orientalizing piece of crap has a few good moments. Since they are few and far between, we'll just tell you what they are. more ›

Think Rocky V, but during the Olympics. Jackie Chan, 54, will engage in some kind of fighting? boxing? kung fu? exhibition against Tszyu, 38, a welterweight boxer from Russia and former Olympian. However, as this is China's Olympics, we suspect that, like in the movies, Chan will triumph over the white man in the final, climactic scene. If he's in top form, he might be able to rescue some Ming vases and other priceless artifacts of Chinese culture at the same time! The exhibition has been agreed upon by both parties and would be set for August 22 or 23, depending on whether or not it gets final IOC approval. more ›

Wong Kar-wai is celebrating the opening of his shit movie My Blueberry Nights in the US this Friday by selling some merchandise — most notably, $95 t-shirts, $50 posters, and $25 postcards. And if you want to thank him for ripping you off in person, you'll get your chance in New York at a fashion boutique store called Opening Ceremony, where Wong is going to be on Wednesday afternoon. We hope that someone tells him that the US is facing a recession and that the real incomes are not increasing for the average American. $25 for a postcard? You can get four lattes in Manhattan for that price! Sheesh! more ›

So you might have heard that Jackie Chan (成龙) recently went to Australia to bury his father, who died of cancer at the age of 93.Well, what you might not have known is that Jackie Chan's father Charlie, aka Fang Daolong, had a whole other family (Jackie's mother was his second wife) that he lost touch with and then had to leave behind in 1949. There was an article called "Enter the Parents" written a few years ago that gave some of the background. The video above covers some of the same ground, but was made more recently, as it mentions the thorny issue of why Jackie doesn't want to get in touch with his half-brothers Fang Shisheng and Fang Shide, especially when their father died and there was a funeral to attend. The interviews also broach the question of whether or not they are revealing their identities so openly now in hoping of getting some of Jackie's (and his father's) money. To this question they reply that it would be a lie to say that they aren't hoping for some help (university tuition, jobs for the young uns) but are NOT coveting Jackie's wealth. The video is in Chinese. more ›

Yes, in the old days it was a national centre. The Jing Wu school was fully running before 1920 in Zhabei. Huo Yuan Jia was the most famous, although many people think he’s fictional these days. You can’t compare now to then but you can still find a lot of Bau Gua Zhang, Taiji and Xinyi, for example. more ›
