While watching Jersey Shore last week on MTV, I caught the trailer for The Social Network. The movie is the story about the founders of Facebook and releases to theaters on October 1st. While watching the trailer, I saw someone who I thought was Brenda Song who I am a big fan of. When I went to check the cast list, I was surprised to see that she is indeed in the movie along with a few other Asian hotties: Malese Jow, Crystal Hoang, Yoko Okumura, and Tessa Sugay.

I was set on going to seeing The Social Network after watching the trailer. Knowing that these beauties are also in the movie is an added bonus. I hope the reviews are good once the movie critics publish their reviews for it.

I usually don’t watch shows such as Dancing with the Stars, but I would check it out from time to time if I am flipping through television channels and it happens to be on. And if I would have known early on that Nicole was competing on the show, I would have watched the show from the beginning of this season. Good thing that the episodes are available online to watch.

But the times that I was able to catch Nicole on the show live, she was simply amazing. She may have had a slight advantage over her competition with her background as a professional dancer, but congratulations goes out to her and to her partner Derek Hough for winning this season’s competition on May 25th.

Nicole is of Filipino, Hawaiian & Russian descent, was born in Honolulu, and is best known as the lead singer for the Pussycat Dolls. Below is a sample video that I found to give a preview for those who have never watched the show before. And speaking of Hawai’i, you should also check out Carrie Ann Inaba who serves as one of the judges on Dancing with the Stars, was also born in Honolulu, and is a mature beauty as well.

I saw this bit of news regarding Chrissie this morning on Kineda and noticed that only one person on the site has left a comment about her. I hope this one gets more comments because Chrissie is drop-dead gorgeous. Andi if you haven’t acquainted yourself with Chrissie in a while, today is a great day to do so.

I don’t get the opportunity to watch much television these days, but I might have to start watching Stargate Universe after finding out a couple of days ago that Ming-Na is a part of the cast.

Ming-Na is one of those few actresses that I need to check out whatever she is in because not only is she talented, but beautiful as well. She now stars on Stargate Universe as Camile Wray who is a human resources officer and part of a group that becomes marooned on an ancient starship on an unknown course that is billions of light years from Earth.

Ming-Na is also the first Asian American actress to play a lesbian character on cable or network television. So not only does her character have to deal with possibly never returning home, but also leaving behind her partner Sharon played by Reiko Aylesworth.

Below, I embedded the trailer and two other videos. I used to watch Stargate when it first became a syndicated television series back in the 90’s, so I will give this new series a try. New episodes air on Friday, April 2 on SyFy. You can also watch some episodes online via their website, so if you are interested, be sure to check it out.

Speaking of Asians and the Olympics, should pole dancing become an Olympic sport? If it means that I would be able to check out Mai Sato, the current world champion in her sport on national television, absolutely.

There’s video of her in action after the break, but I don’t know why anyone would be against making pole dancing an official event. Who wouldn’t want to watch women work the pole? Plus, think about the ratings the sport would get if it is televised nationally and internationally. If figure skating and curling can draw millions of viewers worldwide, so could pole dancing. Hopefully, it makes it in someday.

Since the first time I watched Kill Bill Vol. 1, I have been mesmerized by Chiaki Kuriyama (栗山千明). There’s just something about her that makes me drop my jaw when I look at her.

While browsing around Kotaku today, I saw a post on a new commercial that she did for DMM to show their disc-based television and movie rental service for the PlayStation 3, which is basically the same service Netflix is offering here here in America, minus the hot Asian celebrity ad campaign.

There’s a link to Kotaku’s article after the break where you can check out the DMM.com commercial. For this post, I decided to include some video that I found on YouTube where you can better look at Chiaki.

Chiaki also has a thread in Celebrity Channel that could use some attention. I will have to start adding pictures to it soon, but also make sure you check that thread out as well.

A few days ago when I was browsing around on YouTube, I caught some sexy clips of Yoko Kumada that I was looking to share here on the blog. As I was doing the preparation for this post, it occurred to me that Yoko deserved more than just a simple post of just a few video clips.

Plus, what better way to start off the new year and welcome 2010 than by appreciating an Asian beauty such as herself? So I went ahead and prepared a full post for Yoko. If you have any suitable information on Yoko that you would like to see added, please leave it in the comments section.

The big news for me is finding out that Olivia Munn is in the January 2010 edition of Maxim. And to my surprise, there wasn’t a thread for her within the forum, so just now I went ahead and created on here. I will be adding more pictures to it soon, so be sure to check it out.

At the bottom of this post, I also included some holiday themed threads to check out. I’ll end this post with a Christmas video from Jun Natsukawa since she also wanted to with you guys a Merry Christmas and some assorted Asian beauties that I wish I could spend the holidays with.
