Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo’s recent trip to Mexico should put to rest any rumors that they’re on the verge of breaking up, at least for the time being. The two were caught frolicking in the nude while on vacation. Life and Style magazine decided to censor the pics but no doubt the uncensored versions will be hitting the net very shortly.
Between this and the knife wielding pics of her and Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa’s life is really moving in the right direction.
“If people thought she was a goody-goody, well, this will prove she’s not,” says a friend.
From everyone’s friend on MySpace to the covers of Playboy, Stuff, and Time, tight bodied little attention monger, Tila Tequila Nguyen, is the feature for this month’s Penthouse magazine.
Whereas the Penthouse is usually a sign that people are moving up in the world, this is just another peg in Tila’s attempt to grace as many newstand covers as possible in skimpy clothing.
Hey, DaDump isn’t complaining. So long as she’s seen in revealing layouts and not heard singing awful singles like “I Love You” then the world equilibrium should be fine.
Besides being known for her on screen roles, her beauty pageant past, and her marriage to the CEO of Ferrari, Michelle Yeoh is also a strong advocate for the protection of wild animals and their endangered habitats. According to WildAid, an estimated $10-$20 billion a year is made off of poaching. In the following video, Yeoh voices her support for saving Asian elephants threatened by habitat loss and illegal hunts. Other stars who have dedicated their time include Jackie Chan, Ang Lee, Ralph Fiennes, Minnie Driver and others. [Ecorazzi]
Hey this is for all you aspiring young artists out there. If you want a hip hit music video burning up the charts, then be sure to include anything related to Asia. Bling bling, Badonkadonk hoochies, and fast cars are so yesterday.
Get with the program and cast some Asian extras. Any will do as chances are your viewing audience won’t know the difference which ethnicity they’re from anyway. And if you have a real budget, well, heck, fly the whole crew to Tokyo or Beijing. If your low on cash then try Chinatown or Koreatown.
Take some lessons from the pros: If you’re Gwen Stefani then draw inspiration from Japanese culture and fashion by using four back-up dancers known as the Harajuku Girls in your videos and concerts. (Click here to see video).
Kanye West’s recently released single, Stronger, uses ‘it’ girl and hottie Blasian, Cassie and was originally shot for nine days in Japan. A genuine Japanese motorcycle gang was used in the video which included the BAPE store and the BBC shop as locations.
Wanna top that? Then why not rent out the entire Forbidden City in Beijing. That’s what Jared Leto and his vanity band, 30 Seconds to Mars did. In fact, they were reportedly the first American video ever to be shot entirely in the PRC. How did they show their gratitude? By donning some traditional Chinese garb and kicking some major local ass in the video - Hai yaahhh!
Finally, if you have no real storyline concept but just want to jump on the ‘Asian contagion’ bandwagon then just throw in some trendily dressed but disinterested looking Asians. Daddy Yankee opted for a big name duet singer in the form of Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas for the video Impacto. This is a half hearted effort but if you’re new at the exploitation game then, by all means, take it slow.
Good luck!: DaDump hopes this abbreviated workshop helps fulfill your Billboard dreams and gets your video on MTV’s daily rotation. If you are having trouble coming up with fresh new ways to take advantage of the exotic notion that is Asia, let me know. But please do not use Asian import models… unless you’re an up and coming hip hop act with a truly limited imagination.
Now that Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard is on the verge of opening during the 4th of July after a 12 year absence, DaDump thought it would be the American thing to do and share with you a mega-post of Maggie Q during her publicity stopovers at premieres around the world.
Chinese movie star Bai Ling has hit out at critics’ love of her naked form - insisting they are the ones with dirty minds.
The actress, who is frequently photographed in revealing outfits and has posed naked for Playboy, loves her body and being naked, and refuses to stop stripping.
The 36-year-old says, “I believe the human body is basically a gift. It needs to be cherished, respected and celebrated. I love being naked. I think it’s the human mind that is dirty not the body.” [ActressArchives]
Time sure does fly. It’s been almost a full 10 years since the Handover. Remember that quaint little event back in 1997 when Prince Charles and the gang ceremoniously gave the little island of Hong Kong back to China.
Well the Hong Kong film industry certainly does. And in a bid to commemorate that anniversary and come up with another exuse for a party, a gala event celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the Chinese mainland was held in Beijing on Monday.
DaDump lives for these moments. Not because he revels in the embarrassing mistakes of others but because traffic to the site surges from perverts all around the world seeking a cheap thrill.
Last year Yumiko Cheng suffered a wardrobe malfunction at a charity show and just recently while performing in Canada she suffered a more revealing mishap. At the NTSC Toronto show, during a singing performance, her dress slipped down to reveal some nip action.
Before you click on the video and blame me for misrepresenting the situation, be forewarned. First, this is a nip slip Asia style; not Hollywood style so instead of in-your-face full frontal, you’re going to have to look real close at your monitor.
Next keep in mind that the quality isn’t great so don’t shoot the messenger. And remember this isn’t Jessica Simpson or Pamela Anderson so this may require a little imagination and good old fashioned detective work for you to find what you’re looking for.
Finally, since this is a wholesome family site, the pics can be found after the jump.
Christina Aguilera is in China as part of her Asian Tour. In these pics, she’s holding a news conference promoting her Shanghai concert which has just finished (it’s now Tues nite in S’hai).
Beautiful voice, progressive outlook, curvaceous body but WTF is up with those eyebrows! DaDump is a huge fan of hers but is kinda freaked out with her makeup. Therefore I choose to focus on other aspects of her body…
The most talked about kiss of the year will hit theaters on July 12.
19-year-old actress, Katie Leung, will give Harry Potter his first liplock lesson in ‘Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix’. But she did not want to practice her kiss with Daniel Radcliffe because she wanted the kiss to look as realistic as possible.
‘We didn’t practice beforehand because it’s supposed to be a pretty awkward moment. It is his first kiss, so it’s not perfect. Hopefully when people see it, they will think back to their first kiss’, said Katie.
Leung revealed she was nervous about the kissing scene, which took 30 takes to get it right.
“Daniel was great. I’m sure everyone wants to know if he’s a good kisser and he definitely was. I had so much fun filming it,” she said.
“We were a bit nervous, but I think after the first few takes it was fun and he started thoroughly enjoying ourselves,” she added.
