Hoping to spread the magic of heavyweight champ George Foreman and his Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine to Asia, Foreman and Jackie Chan just finished shooting an East-meets-West infomercial in Hong Kong.
“The Asian market doesn’t know George well, but they know hamburgers and they know Jackie,” says Foreman’s business partner, who came up with the pairing of the grill and the boxing champ in 1994.
The only market the grill has not penetrated is Asia. Chan was looking for endorsement opportunities, and after months ironing out conflicting schedules, the filming of the infomercial came together.
The launch of the ad campaign in China is planned for August, with Japanese and Korean versions to follow.

Dolce & Gabbana had their annual party at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend and the stars came out in droves to glam it up one last time before returning to their own special realities back at home.
If you’ve been following this blog the past couple of weeks you will have noticed an inordinate amount of posts on Chinese actress/ attention seeker Bai Ling. DaDump is a fan for the right and wrong reasons but mostly she provides an excuse to throw up some pics of her at varying states of undress.
So whether she poses in front of the cameras for publicity or because she has ‘only child syndrome’ and craves attention or she truly doesn’t understand the concept of overexposure, Bai Ling will always have a place here at DailyDumpling… for better or worse.

Bai Ling says farewell to Cannes the only way she knows how… with a nip and a slip.
But because it’s the south of France, Bai doesn’t realize that showing boobage is about as common as Lindsay Lohan doing lines. In other words, no big deal.

First Wong Kar-Wai came to a little town called Cannes and opened up a quaint little film festival there with his first foray into English speaking cinema called My Blueberry Nights. An art house film with a commercially viable Hollywood cast.
Now word has trickled out that Academy Award winning director Ang Lee’s new movie Lust Caution will be the opening movie of the 64th Venice Film Festival according to festival director Marco Muller. The cast includes Hong Kong veteran actor Tony Leung (Liang Chaowei), Taiwan pop singer Leehom Wong (Wang Lihong), and Chinese mainland newcomer Tang Wei, all of whom are expected to go to Venice at the end of August.
The movie is now in post-production in New York. Ain’t it grand that Asia is gaining the much needed attention it deserves. Film festival openings in Asia, Europe and in due time, the United States of the Americas!
