Zhang Ziyi 's Fall From Grace

Zhang Ziyi 'The Horsemen' could be banned in China

THE recent spate of criticisms aimed at Zhang Ziyi's role in upcoming Hollywood thriller, The Horsemen, might lead to the film being banned in China.

The Chinese actress came under fire recently from Chinese netizens who spoke out about her portrayal of an alleged serial killer who, according to Oriental Daily, was reportedly "ravaged" by a Caucasian male in one scene and kneels before American actor Dennis Quaid in another.

After watching these scenes, netizens claim that the roles were demeaning and called for the movie to be banned in China.

Conversely, fans of Ziyi defended her and said that she was doing the country proud by accepting roles in Hollywood. They also said that she was merely playing the part as an actor.

This is not the first time the 30-year-old actress has been labelled as a "traitor".

She was first criticised four years ago for her role in another Hollywood movie, Memoirs of a Geisha.

But it did not stop there. Early this year, Chinese netizens were again outraged by semi-nude pictures of Ziyi sunbathing at a private beach with fiance Vivi Nevo.

She was called a "shameless woman" and berated for "behaving badly".

Strong reactions from Chinese netizens and fans could affect the decisions of China's film censorship board as to whether the movie would be released at all.

This was exactly what happened to Memoirs of a Geisha - it was banned in China for fear of anti-Japanese reaction as netizens called her "the prostitute of the Japanese".

Such controversy from the Chinese Internet community could see The Horsemen following the same fate as Memoirs of a Geisha.

Ziyi's rude antics exposed

Japanese entertainment magazine Jyosei Jishin carried an exposè of Zhang Ziyi's allegedly boorish behaviour in the air.

As reported in Shin Min Daily, a Japanese air stewardess spilled the beans on her encounters with the international star after being subject to her rudeness and difficult demands more than once.

The stewardess said that she was very excited when she first met the star on one of her flights, but soon grew disenchanted with her imperious behaviour.

On one particularly memorable ten-hour flight to London, the 30-year-old actress requested for instant noodles three times, on top of the meals provided by the airline.

Each time, she simply tasted two or three mouthfuls before putting down her chopsticks. She then lifted her chin to indicate that she wanted the noodles to be cleared away.

The stewardess also said that the actress sat with one foot on the seat when eating her noodles, with total disregard for decorum.

She says that the Chinese beauty also expects the flight crew to bring her bags down from the luggage rack when she alights, and her diva-esque attitude is the subject of many complaints by the flight crew.

When contacted, her manager replied in an sms that "Ziyi does not eat instant noodles".

Zhang Ziyi is no stranger to controversy and has repeatedly raised the ire of the Chinese public. The most recent being her role in Hollywood thriller "The Horseman" which was criticised by her countrymen as "degrading" for Asians.

Earlier this year, Chinese netizens were also outraged by nude photos of her at the beach with her Israeli fiance Vivi Nevo.

She was recently named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

Actress Bai Ling 白靈 in sensational photo shoot

Bai Ling (traditional Chinese: 白靈; simplified Chinese: 白灵; pinyin: Bái Líng; born October 10, 1970 in China) is a Chinese actress and had previously appeared in several Chinese movies when she was in China.

When she was in China, her photographs had been used in magazines and calendars frequently, mostly with her whole shoulder and upper breasts exposed, which was not common in China at that time. Since coming to the United States in 1991, she has appeared in a number of American movies.

She has most recently appeared in the show Lost as part of Jack's flashbacks. Her character, Achara, is believed to be associated with the Dharma Initiative. She has predictive powers, and is the artist of Jack's tattoo reading "He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us." Achara attests to predicting Jack's leadership role on the island.

More Porcelain-Painted Girls from China

Another of China's latest fad, the ceramic expo painted-nude-porcelain girls attraction. But this time there is a difference. It is not a Ceramic Expo, but a Car Show. It is already difficult to reconcile a nude human body with a piece of ceramic, now we have to figure out one more factor. How a ceramic painted human can actually come into a car show. It is a bull-in-a-china-shop kind of thing, I guess.

I would have thought these girls would come in rubber tubings or wheels to cover the hairy regions. But nope, they prefer to copy the Ceramic Expo's idea wholesale. Anyway, the pics are focusing more on the beautiful girls than the cars, so really, it doesn't matter. The 2 girls are clearly more sexier and prettier than those naked porcelains at the Ceramic Expo.

Lynn Xiong's Nip-ple Slip On HK Film Awards Red Carpet

It was a tale of a great model maturing to an "auntie" stage, last night at the HongKong Film Awards (金像奖).

Lynn Xiong (熊黛林} flashed a nip-ple at one of the photographers, stealing auntie Lin Chi ling(林志玲)'s thunder as a result.

Can you see the slip? It is covered up with blurs to protect your eyes from infection. It was a fast one, but the nice little pinkish tit which many thought belongs to only Aaron Kwok's pair of eyes, are now a public property.

Inside A Modernized Chicken house In China

Here are a few shots of the inside of a comfort house(also known as a bordello, cathouse and Hen-house) in modern day China. We get to see the fame line-up of the ladies and the BDSM fet-ish training rooms. Yeah, this is totally illegal in the country officially but it is one of the biggest recession proof profession there. Anything that is profitable even if illegal is OK as long as it does bring in the money.

But the women working in these places are treated like shit when the government want a to look like they are fighting crime in front of the media. Have you ever seen hookers in China getting arrested? They are treated like dogs... Anyway, these pictures are supposedly from a large brothel in Dongguan, China. The girls have hide their faces for more than the obvious reason.

They were trained army-style to march in to serve customers, and even trained the rigid routines of how to satisfy their customers using the tools available in the bordello den. Here are pictures of the girls going through their daily Shaolin-style training methodology, fully dressed (otherwise photographer need to pay) ....

Mu Zimei - Sex Blogger 木子美的博客

An interview with Muzi Mei (aka muzimei, Mu Zimei), the young Chinese woman who shot to fame in 2003 after starting a blog filled with descriptions of her sex life.



"I think my private life is very interesting," said the columnist, Mu Zimei, arching an eyebrow and tapping a Marlboro Light into an ashtray. She added: "I do not oppose love, but I oppose loyalty.
Mu Zimei is both reviled and admired, but she is not ignored. The country's most popular internet site, Sina.com, credits her with attracting 10 million daily visitors.

Another site, Sohu.com, says Mu Zimei is the name most often typed into its internet search engine, surpassing one occasional runner-up, Mao Zedong.

Yet at a time when Sex and the City episodes are among the most popular DVDs in China, the Mu Zimei phenomenon is another example of the Government's struggle to keep a grip on social change in China. Her writings have prompted a raging debate about sex and women on the internet, where more people are writing blogs or arguing anonymously about a host of subjects in chat rooms and discussion pages.

But Mu's case is notable because her most controversial work appeared on the internet. Mu Zimei is the pen name of Li Li, who began working in 2001 as a feature writer at City Pictorial, a glossy magazine covering fashion and social trends.
Normally Sina.com attracts 20 million visitors a day. Company officials say that number immediately jumped to 30 million and stayed there for 10 days as Mu Zimei became a keyword on the home page.

"I despise Mu Zimei!" one critic countered. Another added, "This kind of diary will only serve as an excuse for more people who want to live a wild sexual life."

In 2003, for example, China had its first blogging sex scandal, which played out rather differently from its American counterpart. In July 2003, a Chinese sex columnist named Mu Zimei had the highest-ranked Web site in China once she started naming names on her personal blog. She described her liaisons with various men, including an undistinguished tryst outside a restaurant with a rock-star guitarist from Guangzhou.

The blog temporarily shut down because the Chinese service provider couldn't handle the millions of visitors, and a vigorous debate broke out in the blogosphere about whether Mu Zimei had violated the privacy of the men she identified. ''Mu Zimei has released the name of the men who has ever slept with,'' wrote a Shanghai blogger named Wangjianshuo. ''This is bad. I believe a blog can reveal whatever you want to show about yourself, but not others.''

In response to criticism from the blogosphere, Mu Zimei deleted the explicit discussions of her sexual encounters when Sina.com began to serialize her work in November
