Asian Entertainment News & Celebrity Gossip

Update: Gotta love them lawyers. DaDump received another wonderful love letter from the peeps reppin’ the Nick and Vanessa show asking in oh so subtle terms to remove the ‘offending’ pics. Sex in a hot tub between two attractive kids in love is a beautiful thing but apparently not to lawyers. In any event, I’ve replaced them with more generic photos. Since my original posting no longer makes sense, I’m sure you can find them on the net by ‘Googling’ Vanessa Minnillo in their blog search section. Otherwise, check out the Superficial to satisfy your fix. Ciao for now, DaDump.

Let the frenzy begin! The Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo sex pictures are beginning to hit the web courtesy of Australia’s Famous magazine.

It’s only a matter of time until the uncensored pics (video perhaps?) go online to miraculously resurrect their ‘no where’ careers. If all else fails, then clearly they have a career with the circus based on their limber, acrobatic routines.

For all you super sleuths out there, check out the pic in the upper right… who’s leg is that and how is that physically possible?! I mean it looks like a guy’s leg but that’s not possible and if it’s Vanessa’s, shouldn’t it be the right leg, not the left? DaDump is either very confused or not sexually adventurous enough.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo returned to L.A. from Mexico the other night after their latest scandal; this one involving unauthorized pictures of them prancing around nekkid and reportedly doing the ‘nasty’ in a hot tub. They’ve hired a high powered lawyer to prevent media outlets from releasing the photos. Good luck with that, buddy.

Aside from the superficial and fleeting interest in any sex scandal, let alone one with people we sorta, kinda recognize, this really isn’t of huge interest. Think of it this way, can you actually name a Nick Lachey song? Aside from MTV’s TRL and her recent short stint at Entertainment Tonight before getting the boot, can anyone tell me what Vanessa has done lately aside from showing up in the tabloids?

DaDump would concoct a sex scandal too if my precious Hollywood career was in da dumps!

Olivia Munn appears in the latest issue of Men’s Health Magazine. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. If you’ve ever visited China, you’ll notice that ’sex toys’ stores are marketed as ‘health centers’. A healthy libido is nothing to scoff at, folks. So Playboy and bikini clad TV hostesses like Olivia actually improve our long term health prospects more than diminish our moral standards.

Chomp on that as you down your hot dog and beers… Happy 4th of July!

Ming-Na Wen showed up at the film premiere of Ratatouille with her daughter in Hollywood. When asked which country she adopted the adorable little girl, Ming-Na painstakingly explained to the paparazzi that she naturally conceived her daughter.

One confused reporter asked if she had consulted with Angelina Jolie or Meg Ryan before deciding on which Asian country to adopt her child. Meanwhile a fan was overheard remarking how “unhip” Ming-Na was for having an Asian baby the natural way while more conscientious and trendy Hollywood celebrities were “doing their part and saving orphan kids in China”.

An exasperated Ming-Na had no further comments.

Living in a trailer park, her salary per episode, what she thinks about plastic surgery, and falling in love….

Entertainment Tonight co-host and backstage diva Vanessa Minnillo has been identified as the sidekick in the recent Lindsay Lohan knife-wielding, soft-core lesbian pics.

The risqué pictures show Minnillo pulling down Lohan’s shirt, playing with knives and almost necking with the troubled actress, currently in rehab for such behavior. A source at US Magazine reports, “she got caught in the moment and thought it would be fun.”

Recently Minnillo, 26, co-hosted the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City with Mario Lopez and is now worried her silly antics could damage an already tarnished reputation

Vanessa’s character already precedes her. Covering the Grammys in February for “ET” a source reports “she was extremely high maintenance. Insisted they (CBS) fly her own hair and makeup people and her personal assistant out with her every time she flew… she only flew first class and stayed at the Four Seasons, and then she didn’t want to work. Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them.” “ET” did not assign her to cover the Academy Awards in March.

Sandra Oh is a terrific actress and she’s knocking down barriers for women and Asian Americans, heck, all people of color in the entertainment industry. So DaDump has much respect for her abilities and achievements and I’m a huge fan to boot so don’t get me wrong when I question the following people’s glasses prescriptions…

It’s natural in an unnatural way to want Angelina Jolie’s lips, Jessica Alba’s breasts, Maggie Cheung’s grace, maybe even Bai Ling’s modesty… so it’s no great surprise to see the influence of celebrities on today’s cosmetic surgery practices.

So it was with some dazed confusion to read that medical professionals have revealed the following:

Ellen DeGeneres, 49, and Sandra Oh, 35. “They’re the new ‘it’ girls,” said plastic surgeon Thomas Romo of New York City. “People come in with a magazine photo and say, ‘I want to look like that.’ “

Lisa Ling, correspondent for the Oprah Winfrey Show and National Geographic Channel, married Chicago-based doctor Paul Song on Saturday evening in Los Angeles.

The bride walked down the aisle in a stunning, bright red Vivienne Tam dress in front of 550 family and friends including her journalism mentor Connie Chung and actresses Kelly Hu and Diane Farr.

Even preparing for the Asian-themed ceremony proved memorable. “My husband [marketing executive and Song friend Seung Chung] went shopping in Chinatown,” says Farr , “We came with a whole crew so he bought 10 outfits – everything from pajamas to silkies. Then we had a dress-up party at my house.”

Ling, 33, and Song, 41, got engaged over the holidays after he surprised her by flying their families to Chicago for the proposal which took place in a private dining room of Charlie Trotter’s restaurant.
