POP STOP

Jay Chou (周杰倫) had a confrontation with the paparazzi from Next Magazine(壹週刊) last week and has become an even bigger target for the local media since then. Supporters hailed his aggression as a courageous act, while the opposition asked the king to recall what a humble nobody he was when he just entered the business.

It was a happy Chinese Valentine's Day for former supermodel Wang Jing-yin

(王靜瑩), who finally received a protection order against her abusive husband Chen Wei-tao (陳威陶) and also got temporary custody of her son. Wang is determined to leave the broken marriage, while Chen has repea-tedly been asking for his wife to come back. He has reportedly been hospitalized due to a liver condition, but the cynics are saying it is just a convenient excuse to win back public opinion.

Taiwanese mega star Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) won first place in an online poll by MTV and took the garland as the celebrity most likely to get her whole body revamped with plastic surgery. Rumor has it that Tsai has had liposuction on her cheeks and lips and also got a boob job done to correct her flat chest. Compared to her before-photos

several years ago, the star does indeed look like she has gone through a transformation from a homely teen without mammary assets to a busty babe, so it's no wonder she won the award. Little S (小S) and Lin Chih-ling (林志玲) both won deserved third place finishes for their significantly boosted breasts.

After waving goodbye to her infamous past in Hong Kong, party queen/actress Zhang Xiao-hui (章小蕙) seems to find herself perfectly at home on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. At a promotional event held in Taipei last Friday, the self-proclaimed high-class lady told the local press that she had been busy reading scripts during the day, and dating with several men at night.

"I've been seeing some big Hollywood producers and they are much better than guys in Hong Kong. They don't rush things like trying to get you in bed right after dinner," Zhang was quoted saying in the Apple Daily(蘋果日報). Classy.

As the successor to TV show godmother Chang Hsiao-yen (張小燕), Momoko Tao (陶子) has suffered a serious setback with her entertainment show Peach Protein (桃色蛋白質), which she co-hosts with novelist Wang Wen-hua (王文華). Not knowing how to handle the plain-looking non-celebrity, who doesn't talk like a star, Tao publicly criti-cized Wang and his ability as a host. It got so bad that guest Sisy Chen (陳文茜) had to jump up to smooth things over by saying, "I think he is going to cry."

Actor Wing Fan (范植偉) also gave Tao a hard time last week on the show. Fan talked less than 10 sentences during the whole time. He looked as if he was spacing out and did not bother to respond to most of Tao's questions. One can't help but wonder: Is Fan suffering from some kind of emotional dysfunction, or is it just too much for the actor to appear on petty TV shows?
