POP STOP

Is it just Pop Stop or are Taiwan’s gossip rags replacing genuine rumor and innuendo for breasts, cleavage and nipples?

At an event promoting beef noodles in Taipei this past weekend, paparazzi snapped four women in low-cut tops preparing the delicacy. But the real dish on the menu, according to an Apple Daily report, was the women’s “meat dumplings” (肉圓).

Chastising the four models and the person who paid NT$10,000 for the dish they prepared, the gossip rag said that they should clean up their act because their luscious revelations at the event might unnecessarily raise the blood pressure of the grandmothers and grandfathers who made up most of the crowd. It’s good to know that Apple is giving out moral advice.

In other bust-related news, model Chen Chih-hsing (陳芷欣) revealed at a press conference this past week why her tatas are so large.

“The women in my family all have large breasts because they like to eat a lot. So I didn’t have to work on my D size,” she said after winning a bikini contest. “Before I was an E — something I really hated. But now I’m a comfortable D.”

On the contest itself, Chen was, er, more philosophical. “People told me a lot of negative things about beauty contests,” Chen told the assembled oglers. “So I was really surprised after winning,” thus implying the contest wasn’t fixed.

Netizens thought it odd that Chen would have been considered for the contest because she missed most of the competition’s activities, which would ordinarily disqualify a contestant.

Meanwhile, in a case of the picture leading the “news,” television star Chiang Wei-wen (蔣偉文) was shown at a press conference cupping Wang Yi-ren’s (王怡仁) breasts while pressing his “GG” (雞雞) against the former news anchor’s thigh. Not satisfied, according to Next, with copping a feel and giving a rub, Jiang decided to go for the “buy one get one free” (買一送一), squatted down and placed Wang’s leg onto his knee and then allegedly investigated the contents inside her skirt. As of press time it is unclear whether or not Jiang got a glimpse of any forestry.

In other boob news, the Liberty Times (the Taipei Times’ sister newspaper) reported that crooner Guang Liang (光良) is embarrassed by his huge nipples — so much so that he has taken to wearing “breast stickers” (胸貼). Guang Liang said he first contemplated covering up at a concert in China (Why China? Do they blush easily?) and called on fellow singer A-mei (張惠妹) for advice. A-mei at first scoffed at the suggestion but quickly changed her mind after a glimpse of the offending paps.

It’s not because of another woman. So said former B.A.D. band member Ben Pai’s (白吉勝) agent after the star’s recent split with actress Jessie Chang (張本渝). This, of course, got noses sniffing. After going through the usual round of rumors of why they broke up — Ben wants to have sex all the time, Chang wants to get married — Next hit on the reason: Ben has his eyes on Japanese starlet Mayi (麻衣).

In a futile attempt to deflect attention, Mayi wrote on her blog that she will “make a big decision in a few weeks.”

The entry was enough to ensure that paparazzi were following Pai when he pulled up in front of a motel a few days later at 1:05am. Minutes later another car pulled up and parked behind Pai and out stepped Yu Hsiao-ping (余筱萍), daughter of Democratic Progressive Party legislator Yu Tian (余天).
