Park Chan Wook MTV Interview
You know that if it’s on MTV it must be cool and the end of cool, or so they say.  Regardless, it’s actually a good interview.  He notes on his inspirations and future projects, one being about crazy girl who thinks she’s a cyborg.  I just hope he uses the same production designer, Ryu Seong Hee  (Tale of 2 Sisters and Old Boy) because her Victorian style gothic set designs are hot.

Grace Park (aka BOOMER) Watch:
Grace Park is hot, cool, and married.  She’s geeky famous, down to earth, and not corrupted by Hollywood.  I guess there is something good about being born Canadian and that is why guys and girls are cool with her.  Thanks to her role in Battle Star Galactica, the best sci-fi show on TV, we all have a reason to be geeky ourselves and salivate over her career.

 

Daniel Henney Watch:

Daniel Henney is a half Korean and half British fashion model that is living it big in Korea thanks to a reoccurring role in a popular drama.  Inspired by his newfound fame in Korea, Daniel’s Mom who was adopted by an American family when she was just a baby is now reconnecting with her ethnic roots.

Don’t Mess with Hallyu Stars:
Yup, don’t spread rumors about them or they’ll shove their lawyers so far up your ass you’d soon rather scream Jihad in front of Marines in Texas before talking trash about them again. Power to the Hallyu Stars!

Asian Americans Minute Movies
Short films in all their short minutes glory by aspiring young Asian American directors.  It also features “Robot Stories” and “How to do the Asian Squat.”

Commentary:  Is Prostitution not a Job?
Yeah, it is.  This is why when Bill Maher of the last Politically Incorrect said that “prostitution is actually a whole lot more honest than most marriages,” I agreed.  It is what it is, a service that has been used throughout time because of the female’s role in a male dominated societies where they are looked upon as the weaker sex and the instigator of Sins of the flesh.  I for one am not for prostitution but I am for doing what you have to do to get by, especially when what you are doing doesn’t hurt anyone but yourself.  I can’t say I respect most prostitutes but I can say I respect them enough to leave them alone.  I pretty much agree with this commentary article.

Filiipino actress Jennifer Lee searches for her Korean Father…

Through NUDE PHOTOS!  Unless the father has an Oh Dae Su complex, I don’t think nude photos are the best way to find him.  It’s a great way to get some media attention though, so it’s kind of…clever.  Also, Kathy Mori,  another  Filipino celebrity who is like a big sister is willing to help by posing with her.   I want to laugh because it’s kind of ridiculous but since it’s so sad, I won’t.

Francine Prieto’s Korean ‘Indecent Proposal’
How tasteful, now we got rich old Korean men trying to buy busty foreign women celebrities.  Hmm…I guess it’s normal considering that even in rural areas of Korea, men are marrying foreign women to.  I can’t blame the old rich men for trying, Francine is pretty boobiful.

Kim Yun-jin most popular actress among "Lost" cast
I still remember reading idiots calling Kim Yun Jin a sellout because of her character on “Lost.”  It only took watching the show to understand that she had more depth like Daniel Kim who plays her husband.  So what’s the lesson from all this?  Well, there needs to be less bitching and more watching.
