Asian celebrities in the news

Since no one has made a topic about them yet, let's discuss Edison Chen's sex scandal and Bai Ling's recent arrest for shoplifting (two magazines and a package of batteries) at LAX.

Click here to see Edison's public apology. You have to watch for about a minute to see the actual media coverage. And click here to see one of Edison's fans step up and try to defend him.

I think It's a pity Edison decided to retire from the entertainment industry.

If only Paris Hilton could receive the same treatment...  

[Inkieee!]

He's leaving the industry? :B Fail!

I hadn't heard about any of this. And I don't understand the videos lol. :B Can someone tell me what happened? =o

iirc:

He sent his laptop into a computer place in HK for servicing, an employee there leaked a bunch of Edison's personal photos (the ones with Edison + various female HK celebrities, naked at some points).
The photos were from a few years ago to recent times (maybe last year), HK media made a huge fuss, all people involved are shamed. So he apologised by video, then a few weeks later, apologised at a press conference.

The reason he took so long to do it publicly was because a person(s) from a triad fancied one of the girls in the photo collection, and had set a $100, 000 bounty on Edison Chen's hand.

Anyways, was there a reason for Bai Ling shoplifting?
Had no change in her wallet?
Didn't have a wallet?

It was an "emotionally crazy" day, Ling explained to E! News. She was coping with the "huge problem of breaking up [before] Valentine's Day ... Wrong boyfriend." She also wrote on her blog after the incident: "Life happens to you either you liked it or not, sometimes I feel you have to be so brave to stand in front of the World, and just hope that people will have a tender heart toward you."

those pictures are so embarrasing all day yesterday I was ashamed of him and the girls I was ashamed to say I once admired some of them I've decided that I will never again watch anything he does.as a hong kong citizen I don't know how the rest of hong kong will recover from the embarrasement of the employee leaking these things

@sdes: Oh wow. That's pretty horrible of the employee to leak that information. >=x Thanks for summing up what happened for me btw.
