Recklessly Driving Too Fast For Love Ms. Hwang Mi Hee

Greetings fellow earth dwellers! As we gaze at the heavenly body above us all, one can't help but muse- is the dawning of the age of Aquarius already upon us?

Conceivably so, but let’s back up a tad. Picture if you will, an unusually heated spring in South Korea. The year is 1981 and an adorable couple are in love. A tender lass swoons into the arms of a vivacious young man as he gently drops the needle into the groove of a freshly pressed vinyl by Peter Cetera- or his Korean equivalent.

The sensuous ballads (and perhaps soju) overtake the amorous duo. They fervently fall behind the bedroom door in a valiant attempt to justify their love. Jackpot.

“First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Hello Hwang Mi Hee.”

To the blessed couple was born a future 5'8" goddess on January 21, 1982. A date which must be auspicious indeed.

Don’t agree? Then throw down with a beautifully buxom, Bollywood bombshell. Indian actress Kim Sharma is also an Aquarius and needless to say, equally stunning.

And for the ladies, so is cool as ice Ken Leung- who is fortunately no longer LOST on ABC.

And btw, if you thought he was great on primetime, we implore you to rent the Spike Lee joint- SUCKER FREE CITY. He delivers an incredible performance. Power, praise and passion Mr. Leung, you rock.

Now being born on January 21^st isn’t just about beauty or being a badass on the big screen, there’s also a brawny tech titan residing under those same stars.

Be sure to wish Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen a very happy birthday too. But enough with the beefy brains you profanely contest? Get back to the ridiculously good looking people? Absolutely.

Gee, I really can make ANY ensemble work!

So alright, we’ve clearly and decisively established that each parent of the above made all the right moves at exactly the right time. Yet the throbbing question remains- how do YOU gain Hwang Mi Hee’s attention and garner her warmest affections?

Well, one of these definitely helps. But wait, your pesky CPA (aka wife to some of you) frowns a frosty no?

Then relax. For half the price Ms. Hwang might bat an eye if you passionately hammer the highway in a beguiling GT3.

Now all this is not to say she’s shallow, rather she simply knows what she wants. And (regrettably for mere mortal men) at the top of her list of favorite rides appear Bentley and Porsche- not Buick and Pontiac.

Despite this revelation brethren, we humbly move on due in part to the painful awareness that the Hyundai Genesis is an incredible vehicle. And value to boot. In fact, it's Motor Trend’s 2010 Car of the Year (and most notably) in our pay grade. Therefore, can someone shamelessly get a memo to her regarding this fascinating tidbit?

We may try. But the poignant fact is that you do certainly learn a lot about cars by standing around them all day. Literally.

Hwang Mi Hee’s first break was from the Seoul Motor Show in 2007.

Modeling with a superior-built through bred. Sexy and solid design displayed in its finest form- and sure, the car is ok too.

Not the usual #1 we’re given at the club says our lead web producer.

You faintly cry,“I thought you loved me, but it seems you don’t care.” And she callously exclaims, “I care enough to know that I can never love you..”

And that’s the look of love my friends.

Yes, we swear to keep our adoration a secret. And honestly, for the last time the camera was empty.

Just as we suspected- this love gun is loaded and lethal. What can you say when locked in the crosshairs of desire? Hit me with your best shot.. of Jack Daniels, please.

“So ahh, if you’re drinking, we’re buying the bar babygirl!” screams the meathead. Yet why do the best nights often begin with a shot of whiskey and a wicked wink of seduction?

Then abruptly end with a migraine and stolen heart prior to 6 AM.

Ahh shucks, we love you too.

And incidentally, so does this cheeky lad who needs no formal introduction. Interestingly enough Mr. Hill too shares your propitious January 21^st birth date- as well as our unbridled enthusiasm.

So classroom, what have the horoscopes taught us today? That perhaps eye contact with such exquisite and unparalleled beauty was the real reason behind why Aquarius spilled all his precious water.

But give the poor chap a break, would any sensible man with sight behave otherwise? After all, we have heard the legend of the legions that drown in their own drool, diving to worship at the feet of Hwang Mi Hee.

“Why do birds always say the view is best from up there?” asks the mighty ant.

In summation, is a Bentley worth a date? A Porsche worth a peck? You tell us. We’re off to secure a free Genesis brochure from the local Hyundai dealership. But for those chosen few out there with the prerequisites currently in your garage- drive sanely, bonne chance and a big fat #1 to you.

This just in- Chicks dig musicians, man.

Yes Harold, I told you it was a scientific law of the universe- chicks love guys in bands.

And Mr. Cho should know. For over a decade, John the actor most

recognize today, was (and is) in a Los Angeles based rock band. Really.

“Why do I have to sit in the cart?” Because you’re not the lead singer, dude.

Freshly formed Left of Zed circ pre-2000.

But alas- Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead.

Still rocking but flying a new flag- say hello to Zed’s evolution into today’s “Viva La Union”. And yes, John remains the front man of the talented quartet.

So one might ask with the bevy of booze and babes, does John party like a rockstar?

Not if you’re aspiring to be a federal agent on ABC’s Flash Forward- his current day job.

Amazingly, in between the jam sessions of the past 10 plus years, Mr. Cho has surreptitiously built an acting career that spawn from “MILF” to White Castle to a turbulent ride beyond the stars aboard the USS Enterprise.

Ok, so crooning into a mic is one thing, but did you know he’s just at home on stage where there are no comforting cries “Cut!”. It’s been said in the darkness of theatre you can feel the mordant eyes of a live audience slowly sear your soul.

But this hardly gave the zealous Cho a fright, in fact he segued from the stage to the sitcom seamlessly. The aptly named comedy, Off Centre was alive for almost 2 seasons on the WB- before parental groups lambasted it for being too lewd. Yet how can anyone not appreciate the sexual slapstick of Vietnamese restaurant owner Chau Presley portrayed by the crazy young partygoer that just birthed one of Hollywood’s best known acronyms via American Pie.

Adding to the list of broken stereotypes in his wake, John was named one of the 16 sexiest men alive by People Magazine in 2006. Nice work if you can get it. I wonder if he and the other guys on the list make fun of people like me? Probably. But I solemnly understand.

Singer. Actor. Lady Killer. But can he dance?

Once asked on the topic in an interview John replied, "I'm willing to make a fool of myself on the dance floor."

If that’s true Mr. Cho, then it’s hard to imagine a cooler self-proclaimed fool than you. Godspeed Lieutenant Sulu, as an Asian American actor in tinsel town today you’re boldly going where no man has gone before. And we salute you, Sir.

From Hawaii with love, Maggie Q takes aim

Gentlemen, when trying to impress a date- NEVER ask her to split the bill.. especially if its pistol packing protagonist, Maggie Q.

She plays the lead character in the upcoming action series NIKITA set to premiere this fall on the CW Network. From the familiar title you might be conjuring up another infamous girl on the run with a gun..

Indeed, a definite nod to the 1990 French action blockbuster written and directed by Luc Besson. Who could forget the scene with Victor the Cleaner and his suitcase full of acid? Right about now you maybe recalling your fondness for the film, but wait an MP5 minute- hadn't a Nikita television series previously been done?

Yes. From 1997 to 2001 it starred the falsely accused femme fatale Peta Wilson and aired on the USA cable television network. So will there be a connection between her story line and that of Maggie Q?

Perhaps. But for now we're already blown to bits by Ms. Q's impressive resume such as starring opposite Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible III.

And umm, looks that kill don't hurt the eyes.

RIP readers and be reborn September 9^th when the pilot airs.

Cast of LA Ktown Reality Show Revealed

Dubbed as the Asian version of "Jersey Shore", the cast of the Tyrese-co-produced Ktown reality show has been revealed!

Here is the cast from left to right in the picture above:

• Young Lee
  
• Jennifer Field
  
• Joe Cha
  
• Scarlet Chan
  
• Violet Kim
  
• Peter Le
  
• Steve Kim
  
• Jasmine Chang
  

Below are a few more shots from one of the other 3 producers Mike Le's Facebook album (the other 2 producers are Eddie Kim, and Eugene Choi) and as always, it's starts with the Goose:





















It ain't a normal night in Ktown if you don't lose your shirt.

Ktown Cowboys Episode 4 to 7

Last we left these cowboys, there were just getting warmed up at a local drinking bar in Ktown. The bartender, Esther wasn't exactly friendly to them until it was known that they were friends of the owner. That's when she started warming up to them, and admitting her reluctance in catering to the obnoxious customers on the other side of the bar.

It's not what you know, it's who you know.

In the next couple of episodes, you will be introduced to booking and norebang.

Having experienced Ktown before, we have to say that the series so far is pretty authentic. The characters, the conversations, and the interactions are all very real. It's finally a portrayal of Asians where we aren't kung-fu fighters, exotic China dolls, or immigrants-in-despair.

It's just a bunch of Asian's partying on a normal weekend night.

Trailer for Jay Chou's American movie debut, 'The Green Hornet' Released

The trailer for the "The Green Hornet" has just been released! Why are we all excited? This marks Taiwan superstar Jay Chou's debut in American cinema, taking on the role of Green Hornet's sidekick, Kato.

For those who don't know, it was no other than the legendary Bruce Lee who played the "faithful valet" back in the TV series in the 1960's.

For Jay, without a doubt, he has stated, "It's an overwhelming experience to take on a role made famous by Bruce Lee."

What do we know about Kato?

The character was originally Japanese at the premiere of the radio show in 1936 but as Japanese-American relations turned sour over the years prior and leading up to Pearl Harbor, it had prompted the producers to change his nationality to Korean.

His array of skills include driving (he is the chaffeur after all), auto mechanics (he fixes up Green Hornet's car, the "Black Beauty"), and, of course, martial arts (ah duh!). What his nationality will be in the new movie is anyone's guess.

The role of Kato for the movie was originally bestowed upon Hong Kong comedian, Stephen Chow who took on a dual responsibility as director for the movie. However, due to "creative differences" with the producers, he stepped down as director but remained as Kato. A few months later, he completely exited the project. The search for a new Kato ensued until it was announced that Jay Chou was to be the new Kato in August 2009.

With that said, it would be interesting to see Jay in his first English-speaking role. Be sure to catch the movie when it is released in Jan 2011. In the meantime, check out the trailer!



PS. In our excitement, we almost forgot to mention that the starring role will be played by no other than funnyman Seth Rogen, last seen in "Zack and Miri Make a Porno", and will also co-star Cameron Diaz.

Apple unveils the iPhone 4

Silicon Valley's worst kept secret has just been unveiled. Suprise everyone!

It's the iPhone 4!

If you keep up with tech news, it's exactly the same as the prototype Gizmodo got their hands on a few months ago. The only thing missing were the fine details and the marketing monikers. Of the 100+ new features, the ones note worthy include:

• FaceTime - real-time video chat
  
• Retina Display - 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
• Multi-tasking
• HD Video Recording and Editing
• 5-MP Camera with LED Flash
• Folders for Apps

All that aside, the killer app on the 4th iteration of this revolutionary product, really is FaceTime. The face-fronting camera on the prototype had already alluded to this feature. Though Apple can't claim to be the first one to implement this (Qik already exists), they will probably be the first to market it to the masses.

It will, however, only work on Wi-Fi for now. In the meantime, Apple has stated it is working diligently with the wireless carriers to deliver the feature on their 3G/4G networks.

For more details, check out the Apple website!
