• Many of my friends were all mending their teeth in order to make them more pretty and the same with many Korea girl stars. I found that it could also make your face thinner at the same time. Before you decide to mend your teeth, let's see the effective about Korea girl star's mending:

    Gianna Jun   afer(left)  before(right)

    Lee Hyo lee  shang  after(up) before(down) 

    To be honest, I like the picture before she mended her teeth. I think she is very pure before mending.

    KIM JI SO  after(left) before(right)

    I don't think she is pretty both before and afer.

    Ayumi Hamasaki   After(right) Before(left)-----I think she is not pretty

     

    KIM HEE SUN--Make your own decision. It is obvious.

     

    Park Ji Yoo---The change is also obviously.

    We could see that the change is very very fiercely. If you don't satisfy your teeth maybe you could have a try. I also know their habit of shopping and many of them love shopping online because, you know, when they go out for shopping there would be lots fans aruoud them. They often go some good sites like madeinchina and other sites I don't know.

     

  • I was bored, surfing around on Google, as I sometimes do, and I stumbled across this Google ranking of female pop stars. The ranking is assigned by searches, and each star is linked to photos, discussions. It even keeps track of changes in the rankings.

    I immediately noted two things about the list. First, I knew a whole lot fewer of the stars than I expected to. I mean, I don’t exactly immerse myself in Chinese pop culture, but I thought I would know most of the top ten. I found that I only knew four of them by name. Second, the list is quite different from the recent list of China’s 50 Most Beautiful People. This is to be expected; the lists had different standards, after all. Or, one actually had standards, I should say. But it’s interesting to compare anyway.

    First, though, for purely educational purposes, I present you with Baidu’s top ten:

     

    Liu_Yifei

    刘亦菲. I had seen this girl everywhere in advertising around Shanghai, and had no idea who she was. Apparently this 20-year-old is pretty popular these days (#1 on Baidu, anyway). She has a movie called 五月之恋 (”Love of May”) which you can watch in its entirety on YouTube (Chinese only).


    Cai_Yilin

    蔡依林 is a Taiwanese pop star I’ve written about before. She’s managed to stay popular for quite a while. There are karaoke-style videos of hers on YouTube as well, such as the video for Love, Love, Love. (I hope you have a strong stomach if you’re thinking of clicking on that link.) She was so much cooler when she was dating Jay Chou (周杰伦).

     


    Li_Yuchun

    李宇春. Anyone living in China should know this face. She won the “Supergirl” singing contest last year. I’m not going to say anything bad about her ever again because her fans are crazy. They will crush me. You can find her on YouTube as well.

     


    Tang_Jiali

    汤加丽. I don’t know anything about this woman and I’m too lazy to search. She’s only #4, after all. Judging by her photos on Baidu, though, I’m guessing she’s popular because she does nudes. (Sorry, guys, she’s not on YouTube.)

    Too explicited photos are prohibited to be displayed,if you're interested her nude pictures, check them out in my photo album.


    S.H.E

    S.H.E. #5 is a trick, because it’s actually three girls. (No one ever said Baidu was smart.) This is a girl band you’re likely to know if you’ve lived in China any length of time. They’re well known for that Superstar song, and currently annoying everyone on the Shanghai subway as their cutesy girl antics are played on the video screens ad nauseum. Surprise, surprise… there are tons of their videos on YouTube.

     


    Zhang_Nala

    张娜拉. I have no idea who this girl is, but I did just enough research to discover that she’s Korean, her “real name” is Jang Nara, and she’s on YouTube.


    Lin_Zhiling

    林志玲, who goes by the crazy moniker of Lin Chih Ling in Taiwan, seems to be unable to wear a bikini and stand up, causing her to just roll around on the ground in a giddy delirium. Those so inclined can do more research on this intriguing woman on YouTube.

     


    Zhang_Hanyun

    张含韵. I once posted a video of hers on ChinesePod without even knowing her name for sure. Now I know her name, but still find myself distinctly apathetic about the details of this young woman’s life. She is #8. Run along to YouTube, lads. If her video for “ai ya ya” is any indication, she wants to cute you to death.

     


    Lin_Xinru

    林心如. This Taiwanese actress has been popular for a while, it seems. I know she’s been trying to steal my roommate’s heart back away from Zhang Ziyi for some time, anyway. You can find her on TubeYou, or whatever that site was called.

     


    Zhang_Yunhan

    张韶涵 is our #10. Knowing absolutely nothing about this girl, I can still tell you two things: (1) she is annoying, and (2) she is on YouTube.

    OK, that’s Baidu’s top 10. The full list has 50. Some major differences between it and the women of the “50 most beautiful people list”:

       1. Zhang Ziyi, #4 on “Most Beautiful” is #36 on Baidu’s list. OK, so Chinese guys like her a lot less than American guys, but they don’t hate her (unless maybe their girlfriends are around).
       2. Zhang Manyu (Maggie Cheung), #1 on the “Most Beautiful” list, is #46 on Baidu’s list. (I’m guessing that’s because she’s old.)
       3. Neither Li Bingbing nor Zhou Xun, placing #17 and #23 on “Most Beautiful,” respectively, place on Baidu. I found that kind of strange, because I thought they’re both somewhat popular still. (Too last year?)
       4. Liu Yifei, #1 on Baidu’s list, placed 13 on the “Most Beautiful” list.
       5. Lin Zhiling, Baidu’s #7, is #26 on the “Most Beautiful” list.
       6. Shu Qi is #15 on the “Most Beautiful” list and #21 on Baidu’s list.
       7. Wang Fei (Faye Wong) is #18 on both lists.
       8. Zhang Baizhi (Cecilia Cheung), always popular, placed #13 on Baidu and #25 on the other.

    I could go on and find some more overlap, but there’s not much point. A handful of stars aside, the lists are significantly different. It’s almost as if the young male crowd thronging to China’s internet cafes and using Baidu prefers young, pretty girls, regardless of talent!

    Name: Kristy Zhang

    Chinese Name: 张含韵

    Full Name: Kristy Zhang Han Yun

    Mengniu, dairy to China’s space program, is running a series of ads featuring runner-up Super Voice Girl Kristy Zhang (张含韵). In what may be a poke at the type of talent that often appears on the “Idol”-style show, Ms. Zhang starts out singing horribly off key. One sip of Mengniu Sour Yogurt, though, and she sounds precisely like the studio version of her song.
    The song she sings is the advertising jingle, “Sour and sweet is what I am,” but it started out as “Pretty Young Thing,” a tune sung by Lene Nystrom of the pop group Aqua. While Mengniu keeps the original music, it doesn’t bother to translate “i wanna bruise your lips with a tender kiss / i wanna crush your heart / I wanna be your scar;” rather, Ms. Zhang’s version is the innocent dream of a girl who just wants to grow up:

    With earphones in my ears I read comic books under the covers. I may still be in an ivory tower, but I really want to grow up. Mom and Dad, don’t call me stupid. Although I listen to you, that doesn’t mean I don’t have any thoughts of my own.

     

    Kristy sings like a star in the commercial, but she hasn’t even released an album yet. Her first record, I’m Really Zhang Hanyun, has had distribution difficulties, but it’s finally supposed to come out today. Naturally there are already bootlegs; one count puts them at over 20 different CDs, VCDs, and DVDs.

    And from the album cover, it looks Ms. Zhang’s image handlers are really pushing the “pretty young thing” angle; the English name of this 16-year-old is given as “Baby Zhang.”

    How do you like her?

  • Conservative China has ruffled many feathers when some of their favorites took it ALL off to bring it customers, create awareness, or, perhaps, because it was hot outside.

    Here are China's top 5 nude posters for 2006 according to Xinhua...done tastefully, IF, nudity can be done tastefully.
