Destiny Child Parody – Beyoncè
I know the story is dead and the chances of the famous group reuniting are probably slim. I love B, you can’t hate on her because she is doing her thing and doing it well. But I can’t get over how funny this parody from Mad TV is…
Asian Talent on The Rise
The time has come and finally the entertainment industry recognizes that ‘Asians’ are talented and have a place in the billion dollar industry that has been dominated by whites and blacks.
Jabbawockeez won the $100,000 grand prize and the title of America’s Best Dance Crew, beating out Status Quo and other talented crews all across America.
As an Asian, I feel so proud that the world got to see that we are a talented group of people. Typically, Asians are only seen on TV or Movies if the role requires you to do some type of martial arts move. Times are changing -
In the last couple of years, I’ve notice a shift and recognition by the entertainment industry in regards to how Asians are viewed. Last year, Melissa Reyes and Asia, competed in the CW reality show ‘The Search for the Doll’, where both girls receive great reviews and became the last two standing, Asia ultimately was crowned the winner. Melissa’s nationality is Filipino, while Asia was half Filipino and half black.
Earlier this year we also saw another Asian, Mariel make the finals in the ABC special Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann. Ramiele Malubay is also another Asian talent on the rise. She is currently in the final 9 of the hottest show in America, American Idol.
So as the year goes on, I am excited and anxious to see more Asians continue to make its mark in the entertainment industry, to ride the wave of recent success, and remove all stereo types that the media has poured on us. I have a dream, that one day an Asian music artist will win a Grammy.
Here is a video of Jabbawockeez performing on Regis and Kelly…
Remembering Heath Ledger
I must of been one of the last people to hear that Heath Ledger past away. Like most people who were either fans of him or not, I was shocked to hear the news of the 28 year old Australian native actor.
I first seen Heath Ledger on the 1999 romantic teen comedy ’10 Things I Hate About You’, a modern day remake of the Shakespare play “The Taming of the Shrew”. It also stars, Julia Stiles and Gabrielle Union.
Heath Ledger’s acting career was really taking off after his Oscar nominated role in Brokeback Mountain. One of his latest film, that is yet to be released is the new Batman movie with Christian Bale called ‘The Dark Knight’, where he plays the Joker.
TV-Links.co.uk Is Back!
Tv-links.co.uk is one of the worlds highly visited website that provides video links to thousands of movies and TV shows. It’s also a great site to see some of your favorite classic movies or television series.
Unfortunately this highly popular website was shut down in October of 2007. The 26 year old man from Chelteham was also arrested and charged with “facilitation” of copyright infringement, even though he was not hosting the content but simply providing links to third party websites where the illegal content was hosted.
I’ll admit that I was a heavy visitor of the site. It allowed me to catch up on some of my favorite TV shows whenever I would miss them, it also allowed me to relive past favorite movies.
Fans cried and wonder when TV Links will make its return, or if it will ever return. Internet rumors floated around for months since it closed down, some says it will return while others doubt it. But no worries, there is good news…It’s back!
I recently discovered the famous website made its return earlier this month. But before you go and type www.tv-links.co.uk on your browser, please note that the site was move to a different location. You can visit www.tv-links.cc to experience the TV Links phenomena. Enjoy!
On a side note, the new extension intrigue me as it was the first I’ve seen, so I had to Webopedia it and found that CC is for Cocus (Keeling) Islands.

A train drives through at a local market in Bangkok Thailand. It’s a daily routine for the people in the Market. Watch how they go through their day as if nothing happened. Business as usual!
A Risky Toilet Commercial
Check this awesome Ad from CWS (Complete Washroom Solutions), it features the future of public toilets. The Ad is very risky and will never be broadcast in North America… It’s pretty hilarious and sends out a good message to all you sniffers out there. Don’t Do Drugs….on a toilet seat…. Haha
