Photos: Actress Sun Feifei's red carpet wardrobe malfunction
       

At the recent 2011 Esquire China Men of the Year Awards in Beijing, television actress Sun Feifei's (孙菲菲) white dress sash was stepped on by event host Fang Ling (方龄), which resulted in her dress falling off and her skin-colored bra being exposed. The incident echoes last week's Blue Vein Boob-gate, involving fellow C-lister Liu Yuxin's usage of a pushup bra about four sizes too small for her in front of paparazzi. more ›

             + 8 more

The rain did little to deter the enthusiasm that met the opening of Shanghai's 14th International Film Festival on Saturday night. An assortment of Chinese and international stars and luminaries turned out for the premiere of Water for Elephants, SIFFilis' opening-night gala film starring Reese Witherspoon and It-thing Robert Pattinson (SIFF was claimed as an acronym by the Seattle International Film Festival decades ago, so we enthusiastically invented a new moniker for the festival). more ›

What they're saying about the NPC: Xinhua vs SCMP

Xinhua: Foreign reporters enjoy greater freedom covering China's "two sessions":

Andrew Kirillov, Beijing bureau chief of the Itar-Tass News Agency in Russia, appeared joyous when registering to cover China's upcoming "two sessions", not only because he was to witness the important political event again, but he would find it much easier to locate interviewees. more ›

Who's going to grace the red carpet at the SIFF?

Who's going to grace the red carpet at the SIFF?

The tenth Shanghai International Film Festival starts on June 16, and as the time draws near, people have been wondering what actors and celebs will grace the red carpet on opening night. One report we've read says that Oliver Stone, Maggie Cheung, John Woo, and Stephen Chow will be among the stars that show up. A slightly more snarky report states that Sharon Stone will show up, which is great for we connoisseurs of older women, but which the report says presents something of an image problem for SIFF because, artistically speaking, Sharon Stone is somewhat past her prime. more ›

Evening Links: MySpace, Ronaldo and pigs

Evening Links: MySpace, Ronaldo and pigs



  • "After seven days spent re-editing the adult drama 'Lost in Beijing,' producer Fang Li said Friday that he and director Li Yu have agreed on 65% of the cuts requested by China's Film Bureau. The movie is scheduled for a February 16 premiere at the Berlin Film Festival."




  • "Craig chatted with fans and signed autographs at the cinema in Beijing's fashionable Wangfujing shopping district which laid out a red carpet welcome for him and Green, who plays Vesper Lynd, a prickly official at the British Treasury."




  • "It's the United States vs. China again, this time in the Four Nations tournament in southern China. Germany faces England in the other game Tuesday in the 80,000-seat Guangdong stadium, a warmup for China's World Cup in September."




  • "Although Mr Han, who is also the city's acting party secretary, gave no details of how much money had been returned to the city or how it was recovered, his comments were an attempt to draw a line under the scandal."




  • "The actual photos load fine. Fortunately most of the site navigation is text, but the little buttons above each image are image files, and none of them display."




  • "The garden was built in 1924 and originally named Columbia Plant. It sits on 15,000 square meters and is one of the oldest gardens in the city."




  • "The Shanghai Sunshine Community Youth Affairs Center has teamed up with the Yangpu District government to set up a hip-hop club for youngsters." For ages 15 and under.




  • "If you deal with China, pigs are part of the deal, but they play a different role from elsewhere. Anthropologists duel over why peoples in the ancient Middle East (not just the Jewish pastoralists) avoided the 'abominable pig.' This is a puzzle."




  • "Some articles smelled like real advertorials, and that might explain why I did not find any ads in this magazine."




  • "News Corporation's MySpace made its strongest move toward the Chinese mainland during the past few days, and www.myspace.cn has now posted a message saying, 'China's leading Web2.0 website is under construction.'"




  • "The website, www.blshe.com, targets Chinese intellectuals and aims to become an on-line platform of communication, social contacts and business, said the founder Mao Xiaolin."




  • "In this textbook, terms like 'our country,' 'this country' and 'the mainland' have been changed to 'China' to indicate that Taiwan is not part of China, the daily said."




  • "Ronaldo is suing the Chinese company for using an unauthorized photograph of him in its huge advertising campaign. The lozenge maker invited him to a banquet in 2003 (and paid him a handsome sum for him to attend), but apparently never mentioned how all of the pictures taken that night would be used."




  • "Check it out: www.myspace.cn is active, and now belongs to a company called Mai Sibei (my space, geddit? or 北京麦斯贝信息技术有限公司)."




  • "China, still working on its long-delayed homegrown third-generation wireless standard, has leapfrogged itself by launching the world's first fourth-generation standard, state media said on Monday."

    The China premiere of <em>The Painted Veil</em>

    The China premiere of The Painted Veil

    The China premiere of The Painted Veil last night at Shanghai Museum* had a red carpet and champagne (and prom decorations), but it didn't have Naomi Watts or Ed Norton, the film's two stars. Curiously, Norton was in Beijing on Friday for a Painted Veil press conference — why not have the main press conference and the premiere in the same city? Some of the Chinese stars of the film were in attendance, including familiar face Anthony Wong (黄秋生), who for some reason thought it would be a good idea to tuck his blue jeans into his cowboy boots (unfortunately, we haven't found a photo of that). more ›

    Breakfast with the Oscars

    Breakfast with the Oscars

    As if you needed us to tell you, it's Oscar night morning. We have one eye on the TV right now -- Dragon TV, and at least one other local network -- are showing a "live"[1] feed of the red carpet coverage from E! (with Chinese commentary). Why not watch on our satellite? Because it never freakin' works. CCTV usually replays the Oscars Monday evening, although we haven't found confirmation of that online yet (anyone out there got the details?). In past years CCTV's coverage has been in English with Chinese subtitles. more ›
