Aoi Miyazaki is Emporio Armani’s Latest Model
Popular Japanese actress Aoi Miyazaki has been selected by Emporio Armani as their new print advertisement model. Although she’s quite popular in Japan, she has yet to gain international fame like Rinko Kukuchi — star of Babel. This new campaign may change things quite a bit though.
JabbaWockeez Winner of American’s Best Dance Crew
Tonight, JabbaWockeez was crowned champion and winner of American’s Best Dance Crew over Status Quo. Well deserved fellas, especially after that crazy week seven performance! I still think the finals should’ve been between Kaba Modern and JabbaWockeez but what can we do eh? Randy Jackson must have felt it would’ve been a nicer finale, if

Akira x Kanye West Stronger Mashup
Flashing Light’s video editor Derrick Lee has created a mashup that I’m in love with. Take Akira — the most legendary anime of all time — and chop it up with Kanye West’s Stronger and it’s just beauty to my heart and soul. Sickness. Kineda (Kaneda) lives on!

Day 26 – Got Me Going Single and Video
Danity Kane may be the first out of the gates with their sophomore album, but Day 26 will be right on their heels this Tuesday, March 25th with their own album entitled “Day 26.” The lead single will be “Got Me Going” and it definitely has a smooth vibe to it. So the question begs,
Danity Kane – Damaged Single and Video
“Damaged” is the first single off Danity Kane’s sophomore album “Welcome to the Dollhouse” and it’s freakin hot. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. And yes girls, I do have that first aid kit handy! ;)
Alessandra Ambrosio VH1 The Shot Pictures Released
VH1′s The Shot was a pretty interesting show for me since I’m such a photography nut. Winner Maria Carmel shot these fabulous finale shots of Victoria’s Secret hottie Alessandra Ambrosio. They were good enough for the 27-year-old fashion photographer to walk away with $100K, a fashion spread in Marie Claire, and a national Victoria’s Secret
Tokidoki Replicas and LeSportSac Fakes
It seems that Louis Vuitton and Rolex have really cracked down hard on replicas and fakes sold in Hong Kong and Kowloon street markets. When I visited three years ago in 2005, you could purchase A+ grade replicas of either of these brands but now they’re no where to be found. The new replica brand
Celebrities Get the Last Laugh with Paparazzi
Ashton Kutcher debuted a new show on E! called “Pop Fiction,” where celebrities play pranks on the paparazzi and tabloids. Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne were the first two stars to have fake stories created around them that stirred up fake rumors. Celebrities may get the last laugh after all.
Jabbawockeez Michael Jackson Thriller Performance
There’s no doubt that I’m aiming for Kaba Modern to win America’s Best Dance Crew, but if they don’t, I hope Jabbawockeez takes it home — especially after this sick ass Michael Jackson Thriller performance. Jabbawockeez’s routine wasn’t just an imitation of MJ’s classic moves, it was smothered with signature Jabbawoockeez goodness. Sweet job fellas!
Janina San Miguel Miss Philippines 2008 Fails Under Pressure
A Miss World winner usually consists of beauty and brains, and I’m not sure Janina San Miguel who was crowned Bb. Pilipinas 2008 to represent the Philippines in Miss World 2008 captured that essence. The 17-year-old started out very confident as she took the stage to answer an easy question about her family’s role in
Kristin Kreuk Plays Chun-Li in Upcoming Street Fighter Movie
I have to admit it’s been awhile since I’ve paid any attention to Kristen Kreuk. Ever since she started liking Lex on Smallville, I stopped watching the show. But it looks likes she’ll be in my sights soon again as Chun Li in Hyde Park Entertainment’s “Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li.” Directed by Andrzej
Hayden Panettiere New Face of Candie’s Clothing
What better choice for Candie’s Spring 2008 clothing line, than Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere?
Japan Leads World in Fake Luxury Goods
I’ve always known that Asia has been the worst culprit when it comes to producing and selling fake luxury goods. However, I didn’t know that Japan was leading the pack. Luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Bulgari, Rolex and Cartier, are losing an estimated (U.S.) $4.3 billion a year in Japan from the
Uniqlo Oxford London
A very dynamic entrance way was designed for this Uniqlo store that faces Oxford Street. In order to create an impression of a store that is integrated into the landscape of Oxford Street, the boundaries between sidewalk and shop space have been blurred. The tall vitrines of spinning mannequins that take up 2 floors also
Yuri Tag of Kaba Modern
Kaba Modern has been making quite the buzz with their kickass audition on America’s Best Dance Crew. The dance team has received 180,000+ views and 700+ comments of their performance on YouTube in less than a week. Of the six member crew, one particular member is gaining quite the fan following – Yuri Tag. With
Kana Tsugihara Models for Sexy Competition
When it comes to defining sexy in Japan, it’s hard to beat Kana Tsugihara. She’s modeled for everything from Sony’s Playstation to Ferrari’s F430 Modena.
Donnie “The Rain” by Producer Seven
Just when Donnie wasn’t getting any love in Making the Band 4 studios, Diddy throws him off the wall and out of this world producer Seven. Any guy who brings candles into the recording studio and fills it up with smoke before being able to work, is out of this world in my book. Despite
