Chinese Actress Face-Off

Gong Li




Zhang ZiYi


I am still on a quest to find actors that are Asian American working in Hollywood that have not been typecast as the asexual male or the habitual slut. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know in the comment section.

I am not sure if the American audience knows of the feud between Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li. Supposedly (again, this blog is mostly conjecture) famed Chinese director Zhang YiMou (he left his wife for Gong Li) was upset with his separation from her that he went out to seek someone to replace her. I think he did a pretty good job of discovering and elevating Zhang Ziyi to super stardom in a very short time. It was also rumored that Zhang YiMou had an affair with Zhang Ziyi, but it was never confirmed. Zhang Ziyi is probably more well-known than Gong Li (at least in America due to Rush Hour 2) even though Gong Li has been acting for a lot longer time, but I have to admit that I am a Gong Li fan. When I watched her in To Live (I highly recommend this movie to those that are interested in Chinese history and culture - the movie was banned in China for awhile), I was so impressed with her acting skills and her unique beauty. Who do you like better?

Weight Watcher: Debra Messing

I love Debra Messing on 'Will and Grace.' I didn't watch it when it first aired on NBC, but I happen to stumble on the re-runs one bored evening last summer. I can't quite remember the episode, but I was literally "laughing out loud." The show was really well written and the characters were very endearing. Here is Debra Messing in a scene for her new movie 'The Starter Wife.' She looks much better at this weight than when she was on 'Will and Grace.' There were a couple of seasons that she was downright, frighteningly skeletal. Either way, I will probably watch this movie and like it simply because she's in it.

Weight Watcher: Britney Spears

I don't know what it is about Britney Spears' life that fascinates so many people, but she sure does get photographed a lot. Here she is again out partying. Her fashion choices lately have been absolutely horrendous, but I see some weight gain in her legs and face. Where are her two sons while she is out partying? Please tell me they are not with her ex, Kevin Federline.

Who's the Hotter Prince: Harry or William?

Just out of curiosity, who do you all think is the more charming and dashing prince? Here they are at the rehearsal for The Concert for Diana (a musical celebration of Princess Diana and will be aired on VH1 on Sunday) at Wembley Stadium on Saturday in London, UK. There will be many singers there including Joss Stone, Fergie, Lily Allen, Elton John, just to name a few.

Weight Watcher: Serena Williams

Some people just have more curves than others. Serena Williams is a tennis player and definitely have an athlete's body. I personally think she looks fine the way she is, but what do you all think?

Weight Loser: Amy Winehouse

Every time I see a picture of Amy Winehouse, I keep thinking to myself that this girl is extremely thin! I thought that maybe she's one of those lucky girls that are just naturally thin until I ran across this picture. What do you all think? Has Amy Winehouse become too thin? Do you like her before or after?

Celebrity Eating: Kristen Dunst

Since most people wonder if celebrities (especially thin ones) actually consume real food, here is a picture of Kirsten Dunst eating pizza in New York.
