Edison Chen bites back at Juno Mak

Edison Chen who has been in exile after leaving Hong Kong on 28th February since his nude photos scandal saw his fashion store “Juice” re-opened on 18th April after renovations although he was once again missing in person.

Meanwhile, he has reportedly gave his first interview to an online fashion portal, HyperBeast since his exile with his arrogance still not lost in an expletives-laded interview. He also gave his word that he will be back and also asked for a 1-on-1 confrontation with Juno Mak who had earlier claimed that his fashion line was street-corner fashion while his was high-end fashion.

In the photoshoot for the interview, he wore the latest design from his fashion label, “Business As Usual” and took pictures for promotion. But Edison continued to be mysterious, using his cap to cover his eyes without much change to his figure. The interview was reportedly conducted through email in english and he obviously hinted some “injustice” towards Juno Mak for targeting him indirectly through several news reports. You can read his interview at hypebeast.com.

Since the nude photos scandal, Juno Mak has indeed seized the opportunity given to him by indirectly snatching into Edison Chen’s territory in a series of moves aimed at taking his place.

Juno Mak who had an affection for Gillian, gave Edison Chen a roasting on radio in the aftermath of the scandal, claiming he was the “ultimate scum among all scums”, obviously trying to use Edison to score points with Gillian.

Immediately after, A Bathing Ape boss, Tomoaki “Nigo” Nagao who had been Edison’s close friend had a concert with Juno. “Silly Thing” records (under Juno Mak) even snatched Farmers (Edison Chen’s colleagues) concert dates.

When asked about Edison’s return to the fashion line, Juno said his label, “Silly Thing” was high-end fashion and were different from Edison’s fashion line. He labelled them as street-corner fashion. When JUICE reopened ater renovations, none of Edison’s rumoured girlfriend attended while the number of people attending was sparse. In contrast, when Juno had the concert with Nigo, Edison’s rumoured girlfriends like Fiona Sit, Amanda S, Rosanne, etc attended.

Mother Spills Danson Tang Liked Cecila Cheung

Artist Danson Tang yesterday held a book signing function, his mother that does not like to appear in public specially came on stage to give him flowers, filial he is says if he has a girlfriend, he must have his mother agree to the eye first, his mother exposed saying that Danson use to really like Cecilia Cheung, and as for the rumoured older sis younger brother relationship with Lan Xin Mei, anxious to get sperm for pregnancy, was asked if willing to do a helping hand? Danson gave the question to his elders, his mother shyly said: "that's a little difficult ye!"

Because his father died when he was young, Danson and his older sis was raised by their mother, life was hard, so he liked to stand by his mothers side, during phone conversations they like to refer to each other as "love one", bystanders would think he was talking with his girlfriend. With some star flavor, Danson's mother saw hundreds of fans lining up to sign their books, she was so emotional, and even spoke out to the local and international fans to say thank you, once speaking of even more touching comments tears were bursting, Danson heart broken hugged his mom tightly, and openly kissed her, causing the fans to be envious

Once speaking of an elder sis younger brother relationship, Danson says he doesn't mind the age if he has someone he likes, but has to be filial, even though he hasn't brought home a girl yet, but he has let his girlfriend speak on the phone with his mom before to introduce each other. Tang ma ma also said, during new years, his son gave her a Gucci bag, she was reluctant to use it, until Danson intimidated her: "if you still don't use it, I'll go buy 10 in a row for you!" She then happily put her brand name bag on to go out, seeing the mother and son relationship is deep.

Finally, the pairing of Jackie Chan and Jet Li - in a story about someone else

During a fight with local Boston bullies, high school kid/kung fu movie buff Jason (Michael Angarano) magically disappears and reappears in ancient China, where a kung fu master (Jackie Chan) says that he must free the long-imprisoned Monkey King (Jet Li) by bringing a powerful item to a dangerous mountain. Jason’s allies are the not-so-silent Silent Monk (Li) and the mildly flirtatious Golden Sparrow (Yifei Liu) as they take on hordes of soldiers, an immortal war lord and an immortality-seeking witch—whose hair looks stolen from Halle Berry’s “X-Men” wardrobe.

Big question: Is the first-ever flick starring two martial arts legends as exciting as it could be?

Skip it: Apparently someone thought it was more entertaining for Li to urinate on Chan than for the two to square off. (No joke.) The masters fight each other only once, early on, which eliminates any anticipation and leaves the pair to battle stock villains in support of a story that feels like a mix of “Lord of the Rings” and Chuck Norris’ “Sidekicks.”

Catch it: If you agree with Golden Sparrow’s claim that, “It is said that music is a bridge between Earth and heaven.” Ancient disclaimer: Myth may not apply if the bridge is built with Daughtry songs.

Bottom line: The one Li-Chan showdown delivers, and Angarano’s (“Man in the Chair,” “Snow Angels”) good at controlling the wonderment of an innocent kid learning the ways of the world (or a warrior). But whether or not a teen can take down a bully after learning from great teachers isn’t especially compelling when those teachers have bare-bones backstories and comic timing that's not nearly as precise as their moves.

Bonus: An elderly salesman of bootleg kung fu movies (Chan) assumes the only martial arts film a teenager like Jason cares about is “Crouching Tiger, Spanking Monkey.” It’s the epic tale of a technique that many practice but few truly master.
