If you want to read tea leaves about China, the just concluded Happy Girls talent show offered a basketful of foliage.
The Hunan Satellite Television program was unsurprisingly a ratings champion, beating even most primetime shows while occupying an unenviable 10:30 pm to 1 am slot. With other regulator-imposed constraints, such as no mobile phone voting, the show still managed to stand out when almost all other televised singing contests have fallen by the wayside.

A disappointed Joey Yung has failed to clinch the 2008 Most Popular Artist Award at this year’s Hong Kong Jade Solid Gold award ceremony, which honours the best of the Chinese music industry of the previous year. Had she won the prestigious nod, it would have been her sixth trophy and smash the late Anita Mui’s record of a five-year winning streak. Instead, she lost to rival singer Miriam Yeung, and went home with the 2008 Asia Pacific Most Popular Hong Kong Artist Award.
Eager to bounce back from this failure, the Hong Kong singer-actress is currently focusing all her attention on penetrating the Mandarin music market and has been working hard promoting her upcoming Chinese album. During the filming of an upcoming music video, she was prepared to drench herself from head to toe for a breakup scene-in the rain, no less-and had no complaints about it.

The “Kagayaku Hitomi” (Sparkling/Bright Eye) committee asked 500 men and women (250 each) about several different things related to the eye. According to the results, it’s Kuroki Meisa (21) who has the most fascinating eyes among all female celebrities.
The 2nd place goes to Shibasaki Kou (27) and the 3rd place to Nakama Yukie (29). Members of the committee explain that all 3 of them have the “golden eye ratio” of 1:2:1 that is said to be the new definition of beautiful eyes.
Other questions of that public poll asked things like “What makes impressive eyes?” and most people answered that you need a black iris. “What are the ideal eyes?” was another question and going along with the previous question, you should have big eyes with a black iris. Big black eyes are popular in Japan? Not a big surprise, I guess.
