[Variety] Win Win w/ Goo Hye Sun

This episode was aired a while back in Korea, but KBS World just recently aired it with English subtitles.

I didn't know Goo Hye Sun before "Boys Before Flowers". It's interesting finding out more about her. She's a multi-talented artist, she's an actress, director, songwriter, novelist, singer, and even held an art exhibition of her own. She's a workaholic which is why she enjoys doing so many things at the same time. YG really is a gifted CEO, he can spot a talent when he sees one. =)

Her special guest is same aged friend, Sandara Park. They're from the same company and it was said that Goo Hye Sun was supposed to be part of 2NE1. =) Dara is her usual perky self on cam. She also mentioned about wanting to ask Hye Sun to introduce F4 to her, LOL! =P I always enjoy watching her, even if I do it over and over. ^^

2nd guest is SNSD's Yoona. I'm surprised that Hye Sun liked SNSD a lot that she actually calls and texts Yoona even if they haven't met in person. She's like a fangirl of Yoona, lol! The meeting kinda feel awkward since it's like they're trying to match them in a blind date, lol! XD

[News] Bae Yong Joon male idol group project debut upcoming for 2012.

[News] Bae Yong Joon male idol group project debut upcoming for 2012.
Cr. - suehan

Bae Yong Joon is in the middle of preparing for a Hallyu Idol Group. Known as “BYJ Band” it is said that the idol group will debut early next year. A major shareholder for Keyeast, BYJ is in the middle of preparing to push forth in the music industry. Starting with Kim Hyun Joong’s solo album, he will be debuting a male idol group to follow.

Someone involved with the project, “We are searching for various ways to slowly make a strong presence on the music industry rather than being too impulsive.” Keyeast has been working towards debuting next year by already selecting the upcoming talents and training them.

Someone who is a part of Keyeast says, “The selection team was able to pick the new members through auditions. They plan to go ahead and search for many talents in the future as well.” But they don’t have many details regarding the group itself, including the number of members or an exact date for their debut.

It looks as though BYJ will be a prominent force in the debut of the group. At Kim Hyun Joong’s recent showcase, he said, “BYJ studies about music a lot. Under the guidance of BYJ’s production work, I received a lot of support from him both emotionally and financially during the production of my album. This is a subtle implication of BYJ’s dedication to becoming a part of the music industry.

NEHARA SPEAKS

NIRMAL HIT DADA WITH AN ASH TRAY
HE POSSESSES AN ANGER WHICH HE HIMSELF CANNOT CONTROL
THE INCIDENT IS DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN ‘IN DETAIL’

NIRMAL'S STORY IS A FABRICATED ONE

NEHARA SPEAKS ABOUT RUMOURS


There are a lot of rumours that Nehara is contemplating on a divorce. Is it because Nihara is having a relationship with Menaka?


What exactly has happened to her marriage? Gossiplankanews were able to have an interview with her to find about what exactly had happened. She had no hesitation in disclosing true facts.

How long is it since you had met Nirmal?.Your marriage took place at a very early age?
“We met when both of us were involved in the work at the St.Joseph’s Church Ratmalana Youth Society. We had a love affair lasting for 2 years before our wedding”

Why did you marry at such a young age?
“This happened against the wishes of my parents. However love is blind they say. All happens according to our fate. Our marriage too must have happened according to our fate”.

Why did the parents protest to it?
“Because our ideas our family background is very much different to his. My parents had noticed it. I thought after marriage all would change.”

Did your husband give his support to your acting career?
“It was the maximum support he lent. His cooperation was unprecedented. All my financial transactions were handled by him. I loved to dance, sing and act and was least concerned about money.”’

What is this conflict?
 â€œThe troubles I have had with Nirmal were from the beginning. We are married for the past 2 1/2 years. We have had constant conflicts from time to time. He loses his temper very often. But I cannot tell about our conflicts ‘in detail’. That’s not good for him. It is difficult to live with him. He has no dialogues with my Mother, Dada and Brother. They have fought and now not in talking terms. He says, we should move into a separate house as he does like to live in our house.
What happened in the Poson Poya day?
 This happened when Nirmal came home with his brother and two friends around 9 p.m .He spoke about a financial matter which I was not aware of. He had used my money without my knowledge. He lost his temper which ended in a fight. It is very difficult to convince him through a discussion. He loses his temper in a very unnatural manner. Within 18 minutes everything happened. When he loses his temper he will throw any object he sees in the vicinity. An ash tray was hurled and it struck my Dada’s head, which immediately became swollen. He had to be taken to a hospital for treatment. I lodged an entry in the Moratumulla Police Station. He also had lodged a complaint in the Mt.Lavinia police station and had made a complaint that Dada had beaten himself.”

Was this incident happen take place after Nirmal disclosed about your involvement with Menaka?
“No...No there is no such story....This all started after an argument over a money matter when Nirmal argued with me. When I told him that I will separate from him, he retaliated saying that he will ruin my acting career. It may have been his intention to spread this story.”

Are you saying that It was Nirmal who spread this story to the internet.?
“ Yes I think so.When I  phoned him the day before yesterday, he cried and said that he did not utter such a thing to anybody. When inquiries were made by friends and relatives, Nirmal had spread the rumour about me and Menaka.”

What is the close connection you are having with Menaka?
“ I have four close friends, one is Menaka.I first met Menaka when I acted in ‘Muthu Kirilli’ Tele drama in the year 2008.We associated very closely with each other. We were very close to each other. Menaka married in October 2009 and I married in November 2009.Our friendship continued despite our marriages without any difference. Nirmal and Menaka had been school friends. Nirmal knew about our close friendship.”

About this matter what did Menaka say?
“ Nehara .....do not take it seriously. Ignore it. Everything happens to people.he told me not to get excited. He told me to take my decision after giving the matter much thought.”

Have you come to a final conclusion?
“Yes I have decided to separate. I have already submitted the documents pertaining to the divorce to my lawyer”

Was it because of a money matter you are contemplating on a divorce?
“No,but there was a problem for a long time. If he did a harm to my Dada, he could do worst damage to me. He just cannot control his temper.”

Could you forget a person who loved you so much?
“It is difficult. I am still having some love towards him, but it cannot be helped.”


What type of a person suits you?
“I cannot tell it straight away. But I would like a person who loves me genuinely, who possesses human feelings and one who could stand on his feet strongly.”

Nirmal says he made you popular by sending coupons and sms’s.?
“ We never buy newspapers. I have my doubts whether even my close relatives who buy newspapers ,to read them sent coupons for me. Anyone could find out from a detailed bill of Nirmal’ mobile phone, whether he had sent sms’s. Some say that I have bribed the organisers to win awards. I have more important things to attend than take time off to bribe these people.”

How was this matter interpreted by your family members, friends and church associates about your sudden turnaround in your life?
“Divorce is one thing not endorsed by my religion. They have never advised me what action I should take in this matter. My family circle is with me for my decision. There is no other solution to this problem which remains unresolved.”'

Wedding photographs of Nehara and Nirmal are shown below:

Reverend's Report: Going Independent at LA Film Fest 2011

Even as the annual Los Angeles Film Festival (LAFF) primarily champions movies made outside the studio system, the 2011 edition — held June 16-26 — wasn't above showcasing such would-be blockbusters as Green Lantern, Winnie the Pooh and Guillermo del Toro's remake of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. 25th anniversary screenings of 1986's Hollywood hits Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Stand By Me were also shown. Still, it is the fest's indie offerings that stoke most attendees' devotion. This was the fest's second year at the downtown LA Live complex and, based on the obviously increased number of attendees over 2010, it is proving to be a good fit.

A healthy number of GLBT-interest films were featured, and I appreciate the festival organizers' continued dedication to including our community's stories. Wish Me Away, which details the tumultuous coming-out experience of country-western singer Chely Wright, even ended up winning the fest's Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary. The jurors remarked that Wish Me Away was noteworthy for its "honesty, humor and potential to change minds and even save lives." (The Canadian comedy Familiar Ground won the jury's Narrative Award, while Attack the Block, Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest and Senna won Audience Awards.) Here's my take on a few of the festival's memorable offerings, gay and otherwise.

Man of letters James Franco was on hand to introduce the world premiere of his latest exploration of literature and liberation, The Broken Tower. Having portrayed Allen Ginsberg in last year's Howl to great acclaim, Franco now directs, writes and stars as another gay poet, the lesser-known Hart Crane. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the sold-out event but I was informed after that our love of all things Franco should remain intact. Next up for the GLBT-friendly star: raising Caesar, the hyper-intelligent chimpanzee, and bedding Frieda Pinto in August's Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Theatre and film director Julie Taymor wisely traded NYC for LA the very week that the much-delayed, injury-inducing musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark finally premiered on the Great White Way. Taymor spoke to an adoring audience the night of June 19 at the Grammy Museum about her dual careers on film and stage. Even more unexpected, however, was the on-stage pairing of Jack Black and Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine on June 23. The pair entertainingly discussed their diverse approaches to acting as well as working together on the festival's Opening Night selection, Richard Linklater's unusual Bernie.

The GLBT component of this year's festival really kicked in, though, on June 18 with the World Premiere of Leave It On the Floor, a spectacular musical-on-a-budget by director Sheldon Larry and screenwriter/lyricist Glenn Gaylord (with music by Beyoncé collaborator Kimberly Bursa). Set in Los Angeles, it focuses on local "dynasties" of GLBT young people who perform in weekly drag balls. It combines elements of the 1991 documentary Paris is Burning as well as Dreamgirls and features the best (only?) dance number set in a bowling alley since Grease 2, the latter choreographed to the great, instantly memorable song "Knock The Mother F***er Down"! The sold-out crowd loved it, and the VIP after party/ball was the fest's best fête.

I am not only happy but grateful to have caught the North American premiere of Tomboy, an exquisite new film by French writer-director Celine Sciamma. It depicts a transgender girl's efforts to fit into a new community by presenting herself as a boy, which naturally leads to complications. Young lead actress Zoe Heran gives one of several beautifully-nuanced performances in this sensitive, compassionate movie. Rocket Releasing acquired the US rights to Tomboy, so watch for it later this year.

Also making its North American debut during LAFF was Christopher and His Kind, a feature-length distillation of the 2010 BBC miniseries about gay writer Christopher Isherwood. Best known for the autobiographical I Am A Camera, based on his years in pre-World War II Berlin and later musicalized as Cabaret, Isherwood pushed social and political barriers as he explored his family, his romances and the rise of the Nazi party. Christopher and His Kind — which features fine performances by Doctor Who's Matt Smith (as Isherwood), Toby Jones and Imogen Poots — also boasts gorgeous settings and male supporting players. As Isherwood is quoted in one of the voiceovers that opens the film, "To me, Berlin meant boys." Screenwriter Kevin Elyot and director Geoffrey Sax effectively take the author at his word. (Christopher and His Kind was released on DVD this week and is now available from Amazon.com.)

Alas, I was disappointed by another gay-themed production having its much-ballyhooed World Premiere in Los Angeles, Mike Akel's An Ordinary Family. A serio-comic take on religious and moral tensions within a "typical" American family, its central dispute between an Episcopal priest and his gay brother (who brings his new partner along for a week at their parents' lake house) seemed unnecessarily strained to the point of feeling dated. First, mainstream Episcopalians are hardly as conservative as they are made to look here and, second, no self-respecting 21st-century gay man would put up with the criticism he and his partner are made to put up with. Despite a good cast led by Troy Schremmer (who starred in Akel's acclaimed Chalk) and Greg Wise as the feuding brothers, An Ordinary Family suffers from a lack of authenticity.

There is no way to catch all of the nearly 200 LAFF selections, despite multiple showings and advance press screenings of some of them. That made it especially critical, then, to be on the lookout for those non-GLBT films that came with some pedigree. To that end, I was most intrigued by actress Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, Higher Ground, which was well-received at January's Sundance Film Festival. That it deals with religion and spirituality naturally piqued my interest as well.

Farmiga plays a life-long Christian who, at midlife, begins to experience doubts and tensions with her faith. The fact that she and her family live in a commune-like, fundamentalist environment with fellow devotees makes her discernment all the more difficult. The actress-director was able to assemble a stellar cast that includes Broadway stalwarts and Tony Award-winners Norbert Leo Butz, Donna Murphy and Bill Irwin as well as recent Oscar nominee John Hawkes (Winter's Bone). Joshua Leonard (The Blair Witch Project, Humpday) is also excellent as Farmiga's husband. The standout performance in the film, though, may well be Dagmara Dominczyk's heartbreaking turn as Farmiga's earthy, doomed best friend. I love the movie's haunting final shot. Higher Ground will be released nationally later this summer and could easily emerge a 2011 awards contender.

Another LAFF has come and gone, but the festival only gets better each year as a celebration of movies... independently made and otherwise.

[Talk of Town] Who is leader cast for 'Dream High Season 2'?

[Talk of Town] Who is leader cast for 'Dream High Season 2'?
Original : http://twssg.blogspot.com/

"Dream High" the best idol drama co-production of Bae Yong-joon’s Keyeast and Park Jin-young’s JYP Entertainment. The storyline is the beginning of creation 'Idol feast' Idol's acting skills and some controversy will arouse the concern of 20 percent, but the audience got up all this way for popularity. After viewers' Season 2 production has been steadily claiming.

KBS side in making this the second story showed a positive reaction 'Season 2' production confirm the compositions. Netizens already confirmed production became a virtual cast, including trying to have seen the hot reaction.



Last month, A representative of KBS said on last month 'We will be producing a second season for ‘Dream High’, and it will feature stories about the youth generation. This has been in discussion since the conclusion of season one. Whether we’ll be casting rookie idols like ‘Dream High’ and ‘Jungle Fish,’, or whether we’ll be going through an audition process is still up for discussion. There’s a high probability that the season will begin airing in January of 2012, just in time for winter break. So what might change for “Dream High Season 2″? The representative did not reveal much, but said, “The original format of ‘Dream High’ was great, so we’re planning to carry it over.”

'Dream High Season 2' will be air in January 2012, co-produced again by Bae Yong-joon’s Keyeast and Park Jin-young’s JYP Entertainment. After the succesful run of KBS2 TV 'Dream High' and 'Dream High Season 2' confirmed, speculation has started over which of the star-studded cast will be returning, as well as which new faces will be joining them.



In a poll being conducted on a korean portal site, our multi-talented leader Taeyeon (SNSD) has already quickly taken the lead as the celebrity netizens would most like to see on 'Dream High Season 2', Joining her in the rankings are Jessica and Yuri, was well as a long list of other well-known names such as Chan-sung, So-hee, Bae Yong-joon and Hye-rim.

To be honest, the likeliness of and SNSD member actually joining the cast is incredibly thin, with SM rejecting pretty much all the ‘Love-calls’ that the girls are getting due to their busy busy schedules. Chances are the next time we’ll see a SoShi girl acting it’ll be an SM production – and even then it’s going to be a while as SM doesn’t have any acting plans in store for them for the time being. Still, it’s nice to know that Korean netizens want to see SNSD girls in more areas of entertainment as well.



With news of a Season 2 for Dream High under production, one of the main questions about Season 2 is whether or not actress Park Eun Bin will be a part of the cast.

Lots of netizens want her appearance in the second Dream High after the word got out. Park Eun Bin came out as a cameo to act as the grown up Hyesung, who was Suzy’s younger sister. Since then, netizens have been speculating that season 2 will be about Hyesung and have reasoned that it would be the logical flow of story. Lots of reactions are “I want to see Park Eun Bin in Season 2” and “Eun Bin could become the next Soohyun and end up on M Countdown.”

Dream High was about high school students who are attending a school of the arts and shares stories about their goals, obstacles, hopes, and the happiness that they encounter while working hard to achieve their goals. The show turned many idol singers into actors such as IU, Wooyoung, and Suzy.

[NEWS] 2PM members claim they don’t have a lot of clubbing experience

On June 27th, 2PM guested on KBS 2TV’s ‘Talk Show Hello‘ and sincerely shared their thoughts on the topic of ‘2os! Break the Youth‘.

The boys revealed, “We don’t have time to go to the club because of our busy schedules.”

With the background of the studio set as a club, 2PM members were asked about their clubbing experience. MC Shin Dong Yup asked Junho, “Do you sometimes go to the club with your friends?” Junho answered, “We only go once in a while with J.Y. Park hyung.”

Taecyeon was then asked, “Since you are in your 20s, don’t you hang out with friends a lot?”, to which he replied, “Because we have such a heavy schedule, we don’t have any time. When we don’t have a schedule, we have to sleep.”

During the recording, 2PM performed their new song, “Hands Up“, along with a dance parade of all their past hits, including “10 Out of 10“, “Again & Again“, “Heartbeat“, “Without U“, and “I’ll be Back“, all of which received a great reaction from the studio.

[News] Yong Hwa and Shin Hye give us tips – What should be focused on in watching You’ve Fallen For me?

[postlink]https://breakinghotnewsonline.blogspot.com/2011/06/news-yong-hwa-and-shin-hye-give-us-tips.html[/postlink]

You’ve Fallen For Me features the romantic story of young people with passionate dreams at an art college. The first episode is just about to air on June 29.

The actors who play the lead characters gave viewers a tip to better enjoy the new drama series.

Jung Yong Hwa plays Lee Shin, a cool-headed guy who is into music and the guitar in particular. He says, “The series feature the love stories of each generation: a fresh love for those in their twenties, and a nostalgic, sentimental love for older generations. I hope all of them find their own story in the series.”

Park Shin Hye plays a lively, vibrant girl who majors in gayageum, a Korean zither with twelve strings. She says, “This is a story of dreamful characters filled with young spirits. They try to come closer to their dream step by step. For young students, it will help envisage themselves in a collage campus; for someone middle-aged, it will help them recall their early days. I’d love to see the series making all the viewers’ hearts pleasantly flutter.”

Song Chang Eui plays a passionate, talented theater director. He says, “Set in an art college, the series will feature the characters of distinct individualities. You’ve Fallen For Me is going to deliver its heartwarming message through positive, passionate young souls rather than, as is usual with other drama series, those who are driven by a fierce competitive atmosphere.”

So Ihyeon plays a beautiful professor with inner strength, who is in the Department of Dance. She says, “I’m confident to say that this will instill fresh life into the houses of viewers through the bright, refreshing love stories of dreamful young people.”

The main storyline will be unfolded based on the preparation of a commemorative musical to celebrate the centennial of the college, which is expected to include a variety of artistic performances covering diverse music genres from Korean traditional music to popular song, musical, play, dance, and even literature. The diversity will surely please viewers’ eyes and ears.

They try to come closer to their dream step by step. For young students, it will help envisage themselves in a collage campus; for someone middle-aged, it will help them recall their early days. I’d love to see the series making all the viewers’ hearts pleasantly flutter.”

Song Chang Eui plays a passionate, talented theater director. He says, “Set in an art college, the series will feature the characters of distinct individualities. You’ve Fallen For Me is going to deliver its heartwarming message through positive, passionate young souls rather than, as is usual with other drama series, those who are driven by a fierce competitive atmosphere.”

So Ihyeon plays a beautiful professor with inner strength, who is in the Department of Dance. She says, “I’m confident to say that this will instill fresh life into the houses of viewers through the bright, refreshing love stories of dreamful young people.”

The main storyline will be unfolded based on the preparation of a commemorative musical to celebrate the centennial of the college, which is expected to include a variety of artistic performances covering diverse music genres from Korean traditional music to popular song, musical, play, dance, and even literature. The diversity will surely please viewers’ eyes and ears.

RANJAN"S KANDY GIRL

Ranjan’s Kandy Girl

A few months back popular Actor Ranjan Ramanayake was produced before the courts following a complaint made by a girl living in Kandy, for an alleged accusation that he had promised to marry her. It was reported that he had taken money and given hopes to her.
Ranjan totally denied all these accusations directed at him, as an opposition Member of Parliament. This story had been fabricated purposely to insult Ranjan. This fabricated story erupted just before the General Elections. Now it is reliably learnt that this girl is absconding and not attending courts when summons were served. She had not been present at the time of hearing the case for two times. If she does not appear when called to appear for the third time, the case is to be withdrawn. Ranjan had confessed that he had only spoken to her over the phone and he had not at any time given promises to her that he would marry her.He also had said that so  many girls who are his fans speak to him over the phone, with such stories.
Photographs of this particular girl had never been published in the local media.Her pictures as paparazzi photos are shown below:

Reverend's Preview: Let Your Freak Flag Fly at Shrek The Musical

DreamWorks Animation Studios has created such hit movies over the years as The Prince of Egypt, How to Train Your Dragon and the current blockbuster Kung Fu Panda 2. But as Dreamworks' CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg recently told a group of journalists (including myself) specially invited to his lavish studio compound for a private sneak peek at Shrek The Musical, a Broadway smash making its Southern California premiere in July, "Welcome to the house that Shrek built."

The first Shrek film, inspired by William Steig's classic storybook, was released in 2001 and inspired three sequels. Shrek The Musical premiered in New York in 2009 and was subsequently nominated for several Tony Awards. It will be performed at San Diego's Civic Theatre from July 5-10 and at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles July 12-31.

"There is no more defining character or story for DreamWorks than Shrek," Katzenberg said. It took a diverse group of artists to transfer the film to the stage. These include Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes, who directed 1999's Best Picture American Beauty for DreamWorks and first proposed the idea of a Shrek musical; author and lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his play Rabbit Hole (which was made last year into an Oscar-nominated movie); Jeanine Tesori, who also composed the music for gay playwright Tony Kushner's Caroline, or Change; and co-directors Jason Moore (Avenue Q) and Rob Ashford (the recent Broadway revival of Promises Promises, among other credits).

Shrek The Musical adheres closely to the first movie's plot about an initially disgruntled, ultimately heroic ogre who falls in love with the seemingly human Princess Fiona. Along the way, he befriends a chatty Donkey and squares off against the villainous Lord Farquad. An assortment of classic fairy tale characters (including Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs, Humpty Dumpty and the Gingerbread Man) round out the cast.

"We could make all sorts of changes in telling the story," according to DreamWorks Theatricals President Bill Damaschke, "but in the end Shrek has to be Shrek, Fiona has to be Fiona, Farquad has to be Farquad, and Donkey has to be Donkey." Damaschke, who is currently preparing the first London production of Shrek The Musical, also said, "It's a big show, necessitating many logistical challenges" in transferring it from Broadway to the tour. It also entailed several artistic challenges. Some things that didn't work as well in the generally well-received New York production were "too literal," says Damaschke, so the tour has simplified them and is more successful as a result.

Eric Petersen, a 29-year old actor who performed in Shrek The Musical on Broadway, will play the title role in Los Angeles and San Diego. He was on hand at the press event to sing a show-stopping song from the production, "Who I'd Be," and discuss his participation.

"This is such a big, huge character but I approach it honestly," Petersen said of his take on the iconic, green-skinned ogre. The married father of a baby girl shared about how he recalls his crush on a 6th-grade classmate during the scene where Shrek removes his knight's helmet for the first time before the lovely Fiona.

It takes 90 minutes and two make-up artists to prepare Petersen before each performance. He recounted how he "enjoyed" the process of developing the tour after being in the Broadway production, with Lindsay-Abaire and Tesori on hand "every day" to re-work songs and dialogue. The touring production includes a new song, "Forever," sung by a massive puppet of the dragon that protects Princess Fiona's tower.

Petersen also elaborated on the "definite" GLBT appeal to be found in Shrek The Musical. "Shrek and Fiona both ultimately realize 'I'm OK with who I am' despite their differences," he said. The star cites the show's production number "Freak Flag," in which all the fairy tale creatures sing of the culture-changing power they can draw from their uniqueness, as being particularly relevant to GLBT theatergoers.

Finally, DreamWorks Animation production designer Guillaume Aretos spoke about his consultative role in adapting the original film for the stage. "The design is at the service of the story," Aretos said, whether working in film or theatre. He is currently hard at work on the Shrek prequel, Puss in Boots. Antonio Banderas will reprise his vocal performance as the feline hero in the movie, which is scheduled for theatrical release on November 4, 2011.

Be sure to see Shrek The Musical and "Let your freak flag wave!" For additional information or to purchase tickets for the tour's limited runs in San Diego or Los Angeles, visit the show's official website.
