Jet Li declares WAR on Jason Statham after a particularly bad exchange of ‘Yo Mama’ jokes

Who says success has gone to Jacky Cheung’s head? He looks ok to me.

Sin City beauty Devon Aoki have posed nude for a new book. Devon has already bared all for art photographer Marc Baptiste’s new book ‘Nudes’, along with ‘Bring It On’ star Gabrielle Union and ‘Traffic’ actress Erika Christensen.
Aoki is already used to posing for photographers. Before her big break in ‘Sin City’ she was an acclaimed fashion model.
The pictures are to be unveiled at a lavish launch party at New York’s Milk Gallery.

Ahoy There, Matie! DaDump is on the verge of a meltdown with 101 things to do but because you’re special, my guiding light, the wind beneath my wings, I make that extra effort to feed you these entertainment dumplings.
Today you get some pics of Devon Aoki at the Escada Flagship Store Opening in Beverly Hills. And because DaDump is feeling a bit naughty, I’ve included some intended runway wardrobe malfunctions for you after the jump. If you’re easily offended by breastages, or in Devon’s case, just nipplage, move on to the other posts; otherwise, you know where to go….

Just a bunch of pics of Devon Aoki at the T-Mobile Sidekick iD party that My Drunken Stepfather passed along to me last night as we were out drinking… and, of course, getting hammered.

DaDump will be nice; it’s just too easy to caption this photo…
Lindsay Lohan has been spending a lot of time in clubs since her well-publicized battle with alcohol. Since her rehab stint, the L.A. hipster has been in the hands of good company, namely Steve Aoki. According to her friends, “She’s been spending a lot of time with him in the deejay booth. “
And why not. They both share a love for music, the LA club scene and according to his MySpace page, he is three weeks sober.
In case you couldn’t quite place the face, Steve, aka DJ Kid Millionaire, is the son of Benihana’s owner Rocky Aoki and brother of model Devon Aoki. As you can see, he is more than happy to let Lohan take the wheel of his DJ booth for a spin.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2007 Fall/ Winter Show
Devon Aoki is set to reprise her role as Miho, the ass whoopin’ prostitute in Sin City 2 with Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Clive Owen, Jessica Alba, Jaime King, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, and Jessica Alba.
For DD, Devon is kinda like that pop song in the Top 40 everyone listens to which you don’t ‘get‘ at first. After the 53rd time hearing it, the song somehow seeps into your sub-conscious until you find yourself humming it and actually liking it. Know what I mean?
Kinda also dig how Devon goes against conventional wisdom…. standing at only 5′2″ hasn’t stopped her from modeling for fashion houses Fendi, Chanel and Versace… her father is Rocky Aoki, owner of Benihana, the successful chain of Japanese restaurants yet her ambitions have taken her into fashion, film and music… far from the classical sense of beauty, Aoki has been romantically linked to Lenny Kravitz and others in the Hollywood and hip hop scene.
So next time you find yourself tapping to the sounds of:
How come every time you come around
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like
London, London, London, wanna go down like
London, London, London, we goin’ down like
…. be sure to take a moment and think of Devon.

Here’s another picture post. Rather than the obvious concept of Asian beauty, I thought I’d challenge your view of conventional aesthetics by featuring someone most people either are gaga or gagging about… not much middle ground on this one. May the Dumpling introduce to you, Devon Aoki… here’s some background info for ya:
Anyone familiar with the knife wielding skills of Japanese chefs at restaurant chain, Benihana’s, should be familiar with Devon Aoki. Born in New York City but raised in California and London, Devon’s, Japanese father is Rocky Aoki, a former Olympic wrestler and owner of the Benihana restaurant chain. Her mother, Pamela Hilburger, is a jewelry designer of English and German heritage and her brother, Steve Aoki, is a well-known Los Angeles, California DJ.
At the age of thirteen, Devon was discovered in New York at a concert she had gatecrashed and began modeling soon after for fashion houses Lancôme, Chanel, and Versace. At 5 ft 5 in, Aoki is known as the world’s shortest supermodel but was able to parlay her talents into films such as 2 Fast 2 Furious, D.E.B.S., Sin City and Dead or Alive and music videos for Duran Duran, Ginuwine, The Killers and Ludacris.
