Hong Kong singer/actor Edison Chen made his first public appearance since his sex scandal broke only to announce that he’s stepping away from the entertainment industry to heal himself as well as apologizing saying “I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling.†1,300 explicit photos of Edison with a string of Hong Kong starlets and pop stars flooded the internet over the past couple of weeks. The pictures were allegedly copied by the staff of a computer repair shop from a faulty laptop belonging to Edison. Ten arrests in relation to the scandal have already been made by the Hong Kong police.
It’s always suspicious when someone successful in one field tries their hand in another. You can be the finest fruit peddler in the village and everyone will respect you for that, but try selling home improvement materials and watch the criticisms fly! Juliette Lewis has had a very successful first career as a movie actress, playing a wide range of psychos unfit to bring home to mother. So it really isn’t much of a stretch for her to attempt career number two as the lead singer of a hard rock ensemble. Others have noted she sounds a bit like PJ Harvey, since both strongly emote. However, Lewis isn’t looking to mine the avant-garde for her inspirations. Her tunes celebrate the now nearly old-fashioned world of the ‘70s rockstar. With Nirvana/Foo Fighter Dave Grohl on drums, “Smash And Grab,†“Sticky Honey†and “Get Up†kick solid and professional; the Parental Advisory sticker prominently displayed on the shrinkwrap tells us she did something right.
It’s already an established case that Juliette Lewis is bizarre. It should come as no surprise that her outfits would be just, or even more bizarre, as her.
The 34-year old actress turned singer arrived at a Rolling Stone party at Opera on Thursday looking like an adorably glittered little red riding hood. If that’s not crazy enough for you, ‘The Other Sister’ star kept on and on to the paps about the craziest pop star of all time, Britney Spears.
And wouldn’t you know it? She’s a fan of the girl. She said “I love that, that, that song ‘Gimme More,’ seriously!†As they say, birds of a feather.
