Fan buys a car for Show Luo


A 10-year-old fan from China bought a car for her idol Show Luo and threatened to smash the car if he refuses to accept it. The extreme fan claimed that she saved the red packet money received over the past few years and bought a car worth RMB 100,000 (approximately S$20,000). She plans to give it to Show at his April concert.

She also shared a few photos, including one which shows her wearing sunglasses and sitting on top of the car with a smug expression. In another photo, the girl posed with a huge stack of dollar notes that were displayed on a table and formed a heart shape with her hands.

When the Chinese media brought up the possibility of Show refusing the gift, the girl replied that she will smash it and even claimed, “I will marry no one but Show when I grow up!” Her controversial actions and remarks sparked off a wave of criticisms from netizens all around the world.

After hearing the news, Show who is currently spending his holiday in Maldives responded through his manager on Tuesday. “I hope that she can work hard and focus on her studies. I will definitely reject the gift if I were to receive it,” he said.

Yeng Constantino awarded in Singapore



Weeks after releasing her fifth album Metamorphosis, singer Yeng Constantino received an Honorary Licentiate Award from the Academy of Rock (AOR) in Singapore on March 1. The Rock Princess herself attended the graduation ceremonies. One of her earlier hits, Salamat, will be part of the school’s syllabus according to Star Magic, which co-manages her career.

In a Facebook photo that shows Yeng in full graduation attire, the singer-songwriter related feeling blessed by this latest achievement. Her participation at the AOR festivities continued on March 2 when she served as special guest at the Rock With Heart - Up Where We Belong: The Charity Rock Concert of 2013! held at The Star Theater. Organized for and by students of AOR – which specializes in popular and rock music – part of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the construction of houses for typhoon victims in Davao Oriental.

A number of fans uploaded videos of Yeng's performances on YouTube. Her set was going well – having performed Irene Cara’s Fame as well as Salamat which were both met with cheers – until she introduced her third song B.A.B.A.Y. A member of the production team approached Yeng onstage, after which she revealed to the audience that the CD containing the track won’t play. Although a bit saddened by the glitch, Yeng rose to the occasion, borrowed a guitar, and performed “Hawak Kamay,” her first ever single.

As a message of inspiration to aspiring musicians, Yeng related that she’s a firm believer of the saying that if you find a job that you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.“I’ve been singing since I was young. That’s what I want to do. I wanna be on stage and sing in front of people so I’m living my dream. Just follow your heart. If you love what you do, you’ll see it unfold before your eyes, it’s going to happen,” she said.

Jang Dong Gun becomes his wife's hero


The ever so youthful A-list Korean actor Jang Dong Gun was recently spotted showing off his love and support to wife Go So Young who held an event for her 10 Corso Como private party in Cheongdam, Seoul, to launch her products for the brand.

At the party, Go So Young showed off a  24-piece clothing collection, marking her first step as a creative director. However, shortly before the event, the actress/model was afflicted with laryngitis, and was thus in no condition to talk. Ever the hero, her husband Jang Dong Gun stepped up to attend to the guests. He monitored the party from both outside and inside the grand event hall together with his wife.

It is rumored that Jang Dong Gun even helped his wife communicate her ideas at the launch event itself, arousing admiration and envy for the couple’s sense of cooperation and love.

Other stars who attended the event to offer their congratulations include Jung Woo Sung, Ha Jung Woo, Han Ye Seul, Seo In Young, Se7en, 2AM‘s Seulong, Jung Suk Won,  Cha Ye Ryun, and fashion expert Jung Yoon Gi.

Fans commented “So sweet! What an amazing couple”, “Next thing we know he's gonna be the nation's husband”, “They both look great at 40”, “I know he's too old and all but I just love this guy”, etc.
