Jennifer Lawrence "cried" before singing Mockingjay's 'Hanging Tree'


11 Nov – Taiwanese director Doze Niu has been found guilty of violating Taiwan's Vital Areas Regulation and will be spending five months in prison.
According to Film Business Asia, back in June last year, the director was caught smuggling his mainlander cinematographer Cao Yu into the restricted naval facilities in Kaohsiung using another Taiwanese crew's ID to scout locations for the drama, "Paradise in Service", when the latter's original application was rejected.
While the Navy previously allowed Niu to enter its facility, the presence of Cao has caused the force to withdraw its support, and charged Niu for national security breach.
When he admitted his guilt last month, Niu appealed for a lenient sentence, citing that he has financial difficulties due to the movie's weak performance - having made only USD 790,000 at the box office despite its alleged USD 8.3 million budget.
Following his plea, Niu's 5-month sentence has then been suspended for two years. He was, however, still sentenced to 60 hours of community service, as well as fined NTD 600,000 (approximately USD 19,600) by the Kaohsiung court.
Meanwhile, Cao Yu has not returned to Taiwan since the issue started, and may still be arrested if he tries to enter the country.
11 Nov – Elanne Kong, whose contractual dispute with former agency Universal International has entered legal proceedings, revealed that she has been working hard since becoming a freelance artiste.
As reported on Oriental Daily, the actress, who now mostly works in mainland China, revealed that she has just finished filming new movie "I Love Fareham" in Xiamen, and has taken a lot of jobs ever since.
"I am very grateful to those who have helped me during my most difficult moment," she said, during a music event at the AsiaWorld Expo. "I have been working hard to raise legal fees, and have already paid six figures for the case."
Declining to make too many comments about the case, Elanne said that she will let her legal representative manage everything.
Asked if she would sign with another company, the actress said that she will only do so after her case is settled so as not to burden her new employer.
11 Nov – Linda Chung has recently dismissed rumours saying that she has threatened to end her contract with TVB if she does not win TV Queen this year.
As reported on On CC News, Linda, who attended the launch of a new boutique recently, debunked such rumours by saying that her contract still stands for a few more years.
"I don't have any other intention than to just work. I have stayed with the company for ten years and I have learned a lot from it. I am happy [with TVB]," said Linda.
Asked if she would get married if she wins TV Queen, Linda laughed and said, "I will leave it all to fate. Getting married and having children depend on time."
"I hope my acting career will rise to another level," she said.
10 Nov – It was revealed that newlywed actress Sharon Chan will be playing a sex expert in TVB's upcoming sex comedy produced by Jazz Man, title to be determined.
According to On CC News, she recently expressed, "I have seen a professional [sex therapist] to understand my character more. I asked about the kinds of sexual problems and difficulties experienced by the clients."
When asked if she herself has any sexual issues, Sharon replied, "I am very normal."
Acting opposite Eddie Cheung, who plays her husband and sex social worker, Sharon admitted that there will be several bed scenes with the actor.
Asked if she was worried that viewers will criticise her, seeing that she has just recently gotten married, Sharon replied, "Viewers nowadays are more accepting."
The series will also co-star Louis Yuen, Benz Hui, Elena Kong, and May Chan. Filming will begin at the end of this month.
13 Nov – After keeping mum about her collaboration with Taiwanese diva Jolin Tsai, Japanese pop R&B singer Namie Amuro recently revealed that the two of them have recorded a song and filmed a music video together.
As reported on Arama Japan News, Namie is featured in Jolin's own composition called "I'm Not Yours", which mixes English and Chinese lyrics together.
Both singers reportedly sang in both languages, and Namie admitted that it was her first attempt in singing in Mandarin.
"I was worried that I wasn't able to convey the meaning very well. But if the Taiwanese fans like it, that's good enough for me," said the singer.
Meanwhile, as reported on Mingpao News, the music video, which was shot at the Wufeng Lin Family Mansion and Garden in Taichung recently, features both Jolin and Namie as madams in some sort of a brothel.
"I'm Not Yours" will be included in Jolin Tsai's upcoming album, "Play", which will be released on 15 November.
