Cr. - 10asia

Hallyu star Jang Keun-suk will grace the cover of the August issue of popular Japanese fashion magazine MEN'S NON-NO, making him the first Korean celebrity to do so.

A press release from his agency YTree Media on Tuesday announced that the issue featuring Jang as the first Korean cover model for MEN'S NON-NO will hit stands on August 10, while it will contain various pictures of the actor showing the masculine and childlike sides to him.

"Jang had this strong ability to focus where he would be dancing to his favorite song during break yet immerse himself once the shoot began," an official from MEN'S NON-NO was quoted as saying.

The actor was previously chosen as a cover model for Japan's anan magazine in March which sold over 280,000 copies.

Making his debut as a catalog model at the early age of five, Jang has starred in a number of hit TV series such as SBS' "He Beautiful" and "Marry Me, Mary."

He also made his singing debut in Japan with the release of the single "Let me cry" which had topped Oricon's weekly chart and is currently working on film “You’re My Pet (translated title)” alongside actress Kim Ha-neul.

He is currently on his six-country Asia tour which kicked off in late April where he so far met with fans in Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan. He is scheduled to take the stage at Shanghai.

Kumar Sangakkara’s’ MCC’S Spirit of Cricket Colin Cowdrey Lecture 2011’was a widely spoken subject in our media, which was given broad publicity. A Sri Lanka cricketer was afforded this unique opportunity to deliver this lecture for the very first time after several stalwarts like Sunil Gavaskar, Clive Lloyd, Martin Crowe,and Imran Khan delivered speeches in the recent past. Perhaps after a massive preparation former Sri Lankan cricket captain delivered this prolonged speech yesterday at Lords, the 4th of July. However certain statements he made during his speech was detrimental to our cricket administrators and it was a question that has to be addressed, the Sports Minister had quipped.

[News] T-ara's Japanese debut goal: "singing and acting success"


T-ara begins to conquer Japan starting today.

Following BoA, TVXQ, Girls' Generation and more, K-POP is becoming more and more popular abroad and has sparked craze in Japan where artists now are expanding to more often.

On the 5th at the SHIBUYA-AX Hall in Tokyo, Japan, T-ara held a press conference and revealed their ambitions and determinations for their future in Japan.

The T-ara members said, "We'll debut with 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' in Japan and hope the success and love of 'Bo Peep Bo Peep' that was received in Korea will catch on with Japanese fans. We want to be able to debut realistically in Japan. We were actually busy last night memorizing our Japanese," they revealed.

T-ara continued with, "Girls' Generation and many other girl groups have advanced in Japan, and from them we have watched, heard stories and studied how they invested their time in Japan that has helped us learn (?)," they said. "We want to be active in various activities not only as singers, but also in dramas, movies and variety."

"We are primarily a girl group who sings and dances to music, but we want to be characterized (?) and be able to be compared to Japanese girl groups who also do the same, as well as various other activities in other fields. We need to pursue similar aspects because it seems it'll be beneficial to our future activities," T-ara said.

T-ara continued to say, "A group we admire is 'SMAP'. They work in various fields but are still-standing and a leading group. As T-ara, we want to introduce our own unique colors and charms."

T-ara met with the Japanese media and Korean for their open press conference in Japan and is scheduled to go into full-fledged activities.

T-ara will also first be resuming their activities fully for their retro track "Roly-Poly".

[News] CN Blue’s Kang Min Hyuk displays his singing ability in You’ve Fallen For Me


On the July 6 episode of MBC’s new drama series You’ve Fallen For Me, CN Blue’s Kang Min Hyuk, who plays Yeo Jun Hee, the leader of the band Stupid, displays his singing ability by singing solo for the first time even in his career as a musician in reality.

Angie Harmon Squelches Rumors That 'Rizzoli & Isles' Characters Are Lesbian

Well, this story gives me a chance to blog Angie Harmon!

At Los Angeles Times, "'Rizzoli & Isles' — are they or aren't they?":

Angie Harmon

The first season of TNT's crime drama "Rizzoli & Isles" featured an episode with the title "I Kissed a Girl." Its stars, Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, played on a softball team, shared some intimate dinners, drank wine over candlelight and hopped into the same bed for girl talk.

But this is not a gay show.

Series creator Janet Tamaro described Harmon's Rizzoli and Alexander's Isles as a "power couple" — the center of a buddy drama, one that broke cable ratings records in its debut run and returns for its second season July 11. But the women are not together, as in together.

Tamaro chalks up the rampant are-they-or-aren't-they discussion to throwing "two gorgeous actresses together who have great, natural chemistry." She contends that Harmon's tomboyish homicide detective and Alexander's stylish medical examiner "are straight women who don't fear the interest in or the speculation about their relationship."

That hasn't stopped gay pop culture blog AfterEllen from dubbing the show, "totally gay, it just doesn't know it yet." Or another lesbian blog, CherryGrrl, from creating a "Rizzoli & Isles" drinking game, advising viewers to take a shot for interaction between the title characters that includes "stares lasting longer than three seconds," "sleeping in the same bed/couch/squad car," "adorable bickering which generally relates to sexual tension," or "complaining to each other about their inability to find a compatible mate, all while being completely compatible mates." The Washington Post even pointed to a hunky visiting FBI agent as a short-lived distraction from the "faintly lesbian undertones that the show keeps trying to establish."

Harmon, a veteran of "Law & Order," said she's familiar with the online chatter and that it's "super fun" to play a role that has some same-sex romantic vibes. She's relishing a character who's gruff and aggressive, the polar opposite of her own girlie personality, she said.

But as close as they are, Rizzoli and Isles are just best friends, she said. Really.

"I hate to disappoint, but these characters are straight," Harmon insisted. "If we lose viewers because of it — sorry!"
And that's amazing, that Harmon would note the possibility of LOSING viewers if the characters weren't gay. Reminds me of my post the other day, on the anti-hetero bigotry of Dan Savage. It's hard out there if you're straight. See: "Gay Sexual Abandon and the Perverse Inversion of Values by Same-Sex Extremists."
