RIP Park Yong-Ha! So Sad!

There have been quite a few suicides among young Korean actors and actresses over the last year or so and they have all been terrible but this was has been the most shocking for me!

Park Yong-Ha was a real talent and only 32 years old! I first saw him in the drama Winter Sonata with Bae Young Joon. He was fantastic in this drama and really handsome too! He was massively popular in Japan as well as Korea and had been acting ever since.

He was found hanging in his home in Korea today and no one know why he would have killed himself. There is speculation that it was due to his fathers battle with stomach cancer or his recent financial troubles but whatever the reason was the Korean entertainment industry has lost a fantastic star.

What an awful shame! RIP Park Yong-Ha!

Gay Men are sooo lucky!

I totally love Matt Bomer and adore him in White Collar but I have just heard that he is gay and lives with his long term partner and has kids!!! I usually have perfect gaydar but not this time!!! How could I not see it! He is a gorgeous specimen either way so who cares!

Kickette - The football site for girls

Was putting together a list of my favourite 10 hunks of the World Cup (because the Sun's top ten were crap!) and I came across this site. Gotta love it, hot footballers, gossip and fashion in the one place!

Blog design is finally here!

Finally there is the option to really change your blog on blogger. I just saw the new design option and picked something really quickly because I was sooo excited. I don't know if this new design is really me but even if I want to change it there are now loads of new changes I can make!

It's the small things that make me happy lol!

USA beat England!!!!

The Sun quotes from several American papers today and what a funny story they are quoting! It seems as though the American nation believe that they won the match against England on Saturday! Was I watching a different match? I had a wee bet on the Americans to actually win so I was especially dissappointed with their performance but by no means did their lucky goal or eventual draw (not "tie" as they put it!) prove any point about their football prowess! Let's face it, if it wasn't for Robert Green they would have lost that match. They are a much better side than they used to be with a lot more fantastic talent but they lack experience. England on the other hand have lots of experience and lots of ego too! On paper they are the winning team but ego stops them playing as the team they should be! I love the way the americans can turn things around but best not to be too deluded!

It does really bother me when americans try to change the language of an instituation such as football! It is football, match and draw! Rant over!

Rain wins MTV Biggest Badass Award!!!

http://www.allkpop.com/2010/06/rain-wins-biggest-badass-star-award-at-mtv-movie-awards-2010

Rain has won the MTV Biggest Badass Award for his role as Raizo in Ninja Assassin!

I am so happy that Rain has won this award. No doubt all the KPOP fans were voting as it was a public vote but who cares!!! He deserves the recognition for all the months of fight training and conditioning he went through and for the brilliant portrayal of Raizo!

Well done Rain! Funny too that he received his award from Jackie Chan and the new Karate Kid. Rain is releasing a song for the Karate Kid soundtrack in Korea!

This has just made my day! Everyone should watch Ninja Assassin!

Absolutely Fabulous SATC! Bugger the Critics!

Despite all the critics rubbishing the new Sex and the City movie I went along to see it last night. It was a lovely girlie night out with my sis and friend. We went for dinner and then went to see the film.

The cinema was bunged full of women, with a few men scattered into the crowd (poor boyfriends being dragged along, no gay men though!)

I never listen to critics really because they don't have a notion what they are talking about so I always just go to see what I want/like. The film was good fun, lots of laughs but lots of cringey embarrassing moments left me hiding behind my hand or leaning over to my sis asking "why did they do that?".

The fashion and scenery were amazing! Although set in Abu Dhabi it was filmed elsewhere, Morrocco I think, due to decency laws!!! Decency my ass, ridiculous traditions that subjugate women more like!

Relationship stories were the main part of the film as usual, there was no real main storyline apart from the girls on holiday, getaway story which was enough for me. The opulent sets and clothing made me soooo jealous, made me wish I was rich and living a completely different life somewhere else. I wish!

I would recommend anyone to see this film, even men! I think men could learn a lot about women from watching SATC, although it could make them more confused lol.

Anyway, I enjoyed it but not as much as I loved Ninja Assassin, and the critics panned that too! It is a frivolous and fun way to spend a few hours and the laughs made me leave the cinema with a smile so that's all I ask for.
