The China gymnasts controversy - Is it really over?

The Olympics is over. The China gymnasts controversy is not.

Well.....if you remember the China women gymnasts team were plagued with the age controversy with many speculations that they were underaged to compete in the tournaments. Anyway, after much hoohaa, the International Gymnastics Federation confirmed that all 6 members of the China gold medal team are old enough to compete.



However they are still questioning the age of 2 members of the 2000 Olympics team - Dong Fangxiao and Yang Yun — saying it "does not consider the explanations and evidence provided to date in regards to these athletes as satisfactory."

For me.....I think it is all crap! All these investigation is just for show. This whole underage business in gymnastics happens in almost every country that competes. It is considered their "dirty little secret". You can investigate all you want, but if someone wants to cheat, they will cheat to the end. You can ask them, question them but they can lie and it is your suspicions against their words. And we know that documentations can be forged.

Whatever it is whether China lied or not, I would just let it rest. These girls have competed. They are so young and I would say it is not by their choice. It is the officials that are to be blamed. But now they have already competed, don't take that glory away from them.

If they want to stop this, please stop it from the beginning, not at the end!!

Anyway, the FIG is moving forward with a licensing system that would serve as proof of age for a gymnast's entire career. I hope this will work...... Read more here.

The Ex List...a new series on CBS

The Ex List is a new romantic comedy on CBS.

What if you learned you had already met your soul mate? When a bachelorette-party psychic reveals to Bella Bloom (Elizabeth Reaser) that she has already met the true love of her life (one of the men she has dated before), she goes on a quest to find this mystery man from her past. If she doesn't marry the man within the next year, she is told, she is doomed to live in lonely singlehood all the rest of her life.

Therefore the quest to find THE ONE begins.



I like the concept and have hope that it will be well executed. I even like the name of the show..The Ex List.

However, I am not sure of Elizabeth Reaser. She played a very convincing character in Grey's Anatomy of Jane Doe, a badly burnt pregnant mother who forget her past. As she rebuilds her face and her life again in the hospital she had to deal with her future (falling in love with one of the intern doctors) and her past life.

Therefore, I can't imagine her playing this character of a 33 years old carefree single women. Anyway, that's just me.

Whether this series will survive or get the Ex.....we'll have to see how the rating goes.

Sharon Stone denies making the botox for feet statement..

Well, she should cos she was made to look like an unfit mom who apparently overreacts when it comes to her son's medical condition.

Basically, a judge stated that Sharon Stone recommended Botox to treat her son's smelly feet. The widely reported comment was contained in court papers as part of Stone's custody tangles with ex-husband, Phil Bronstein. The judge cited the alleged remark as an example of Stone's overreaction to son Roan's medical issues. She lost a bid to move her son from Bronstein's home in San Francisco to her house in Los Angeles.

But her lawyers released a statement to deny that she has ever made any such statement of Botox to treat her son's smelly feet saying "Sharon Stone never made this statement. It is a complete fabrication," .

Well, whether she did or she did not, I guess the damage is already done.

David Cook's new Single...

At last he has a new single after his first single of the American Idol winner song.

This is his latest single titled Light On.

Do you like it?

I do. I hope he makes it big like Chris Daughtry.

What's Love Got To Do With it?

That is the famous song by Tina Turner. I do know her when I was young. I must admit that I never liked her. Her thick lips, bushy hair and skimpy attire were things I could not comprehend as fashionable during my time. Sorry.

But at 68 years old she still has it.

After an eight-year hiatus, Tina Turner brought her famous voice and energy back to the stage this Wednesday, opening her 36-date North American tour with a hit-filled concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.

An entertainer for 50 years, Turner said she can "still give a great show," adding that her longevity inspires fans of all ages. Video of her performance during her younger years..



I am glad she still has it and honestly I am glad that she still has it.

Latest on Edison Chen


Do you remember Edison Chen?



A young rising star that made one big mistake.

Sleeping with other celebrities - no, that not a mistake.

Video-taping their sex videos - no, even that is not a mistake.

Giving up his computer to be fixed - Yes...this is the mistake, a major mistake that he will probably never forget for the rest of his life.



In Feb 2008, Edison Chen has announced his exit from Hong Kong entertainment world following the nude-photos scandal that involved several famous female artists. He can no longer be in HK, infact I don't think he is welcomed in Taiwan or China. He is now in USA but I doubt that his career would really take off. He has a small cameo in Batman as a security guard.



Latest news is that he has refused to return to Hong Kong to testify in a trial against a man who allegedly distributed photos across the Internet of Chen's sex acts with a string of female starlets. The refusal of Chen to return from the United States has stalled the trial of computer technician Sze Ho-chun, as the prosecution said it would have to apply for a higher court's permission to obtain evidence from the actor there. Sze was arrested in his computer store and pleaded not guilty to one count of obtaining access to a computer with a view of making dishonest gain for himself or another.



Edison Chen had promised to try his best to assist the investigation but will not return to testify in court.

DWTS Kim Kardashian got the boot

Poor girl...she was one of the main highlights of this new season of Dancing With The Stars......infact, I was kinda rooting for her since she was the most interesting to see. In a surprising twist last night, Kim Kardashian got the boot and is out from the competition.

According to E Online...

In the end, Kim took the news like a champ, mentioning it was the fifth anniversary of her own father's death, and she was sure he'd be proud of her.

"This was a huge challenge for me," Kim tells. "Every dance was a huge accomplishment for me and I did the best I could. And this was the best experience of my life."

"Saying goodbye is "very emotional," but says she's "totally fine," and wants to take dancing lessons with Karina in the future so she can learn more. As for her partner and new friend Mark, "He just signed a record deal, so I'm going to become a groupie for him!"

Below is the clip of her dance last night.
