Andy Lau, Zhang Jingchu, Lin Chi-ling and the gang in Dubai

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", slated to be shot in Dubai, Hangzhou, Fuyang, Taipei, Tokyo and Milan is a big deal; it is the first major Chinese film to be predominantly produced outside China. The cast and crew were in Dubai to assure the powers that be in the capital of the United Arab Emirates that their city wouldn't get the "Mission Impossible 4" treatment: no camels in the streets, no sandstorms, just "the real fantasy world that Dubai is" according to director Sun Jianjun.

It's good to be Andy Lau. He is flanked here by Lin Chi-ling and Zhang Jingchu.

Lin Chi-ling left her voice in Taiwan or lost it on the way to the Emirates so she was limited to looking lovely while not saying anything.

Zhang Jingchu in Paris

Zhang Jingchu brought her dimples to a photoshoot in Paris. The Photoshop operator filled them in by riding the Gaussian blur until her skin looked like molded plastic. Just about impossible to cover up her striking beauty, though.

Sun Fei-Fei's clothing ripped off onstage; the show goes on

"Esquire" magazine had its annual bash in Beijing at Tsinghua University. Sun Fei-Fei suffered from a living nightmare as her dress was stepped on as she was walking on stage. The stepper, identified only as "the host" (as far as I could tell) looked a bit too maliciously gleeful in some of the pictures from the event. As you can imagine they are everywhere in the Chinese entertainment press.
It looks as if she decided to keep standing on Sun Fei-Fei's dress until it fell off.

The final result.

The way she looked before the mishap.

Her assistant earned an entire year's salary, moving quickly with a blanket--and having one close at hand or knowing where one gets a blanket backstage at a big event.

Award shows stop for no one, though. The parade of singers, TV and movie stars and the occasional accused fraudster continued. Dresses stayed on; the only really odd thing was that it looked as if everyone decided to wear the same nude platform pumps, no matter if they matched their outfit which they generally did not.

Singer Coco Lee in a lot of sequins.

Zhang Mi and her daughter (whoever she is) in a look somewhere between Cleopatra and the Kardashians.

Gallen Lo and his wife Sophie Su Yan go for a controlled wardrobe malfunction but couldn't compete with the real thing.

Ifeng has lots of pictures; Yahoo China has two articles, one of Sun Fei-Fei and one covering everyone else. Also CRI, Xinhau and lots more.

Charlene Choi with pig purse, Zhang Jingchu luxury brand mystery solved

Charlene Choi paired an extremely short skirt with insane looking stilettos for Anteprima, a handbag and accessory company based in Hong Kong and Milan. They have a whimsical and impractical line of animal shapes in their Wirebag collection including this pig:

Even though the Anteprima show at the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012 featured Hello Kitty carrying one of their bags it isn't all animals:

Whatever one might think of As Sa's shoes, wearing heels like that as one approaches 30 is a great way to insure intractable back pain in years to come.

Also on the handbag front Zhang Jingchu was in Paris with a bunch of other A-list celebs to help Lancel celebrate its 135 years of making purses:

Zhang Jingchu in Paris for unnamed luxury brand

Zhang Jingchu: striking photos in Cosmopolitan Chinese edition

Zhang Jingchu took a break from a hectic schedule of filming and promotion (she was in five movies that opened last year and three so far this year) so that "Cosmopolitan" could grab some extraordinary images. Each of her outfits was black or white (or black and white) highlighted with some gold accessories and red trim:

Zhang Jing-chu in Harpers Fall Jewelry special edition

Harpers used big blocks of color and lots of negative space to highlight Zhang Jing-chu's features and the insanely expensive baubles she modeled. She looked languid and enigmatic--or maybe just tired.
