Xiao S’s nude mini-dress appeared in China and she kissed another man for revenge

chiewlin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 17:48:08 +0000

On 22May 2010, Kang Xi Lai Le arrived in Shenyang for its concert tour. Xiao S wore a nude-coloured mini-dress and, persisting in her flirtatious ways, pounced on Ah Xin and attempted to kiss him. She claimed that this was all because her husband was already a frequent visitor of nightclubs.

The other victim, Wang Lee Hom, only missed her attack by inches. Xiao S first faced him very closely while singing, then requested the singer to hug her while turning rounds. Lee Hom managed to avoid all that by complaining that she was too heavy, then turning aside to carry Chen Han Dian, who was disguised as a woman.

In addition, Ah Xin performed “Ru guo hai you ming tian” by Xue Yue for the concert, which was a favourite of Kevin Tsai during his studying years. The latter later posted on his blog that their performance of the song, accompanied by Alan Ke’s enthusiastic rapping, was a youtful dream for him.

Da S demoted to do an assistant’s chores for Summer’s Bubbles

chiewlin — Sun, 23 May 2010 05:39:33 +0000

For the sake of FTV’s idol drama, “Summer’s Bubbles”, Barbie Hsu had to perform the duties of underlings, such as helping artistes carry their baggages and tie their shoelaces, accompanying them to the doctor and bowing to them to show her respect. She even had to endure the insults of Jiang Yi, who “claimed” that Barbie lacked the qualities to enter the showbiz and, worse still, a slap from Maggie Wu.

These unbefitting actions were necessary for Barbie Hsu, known among her friends as “Her Majesty”, who was to play the lead role from high school years to adulthood. In the beginning, Barbie’s character had to endure many criticisms as a newbie in the industry, thus explaining the “torture” she was being put through despite her status as a superstar.

In addition, Barbie has a complicated relationship with both Peter Ho and Huang Xiao Ming vying for her love, a type of love which the female lead describes as suffocating and abusive.

In order to fulfill the depiction of the lead character as having beautiful black hair and smooth white skin, Barbie has also taken pains to maintain her fair complexion, ie carrying an umbrella during the breaks to block out harmful UV rays. Although both male leads laughed at her in the start, Peter Ho eventually joined her in the activity as the director complained that he was getting too tan for his role.

Lots of laughter during Kang Xi gala performance in Shenyang; Kevin Tsai’s question angered Barbie Hsu

chiewlin — Sun, 23 May 2010 03:38:44 +0000

Da S, Mavis Fan and Christine Fan joined Xiao S in Kang Xi’s gala performance in Shenyang on 22 May 2010. The four good friends were glad of the rare opportunity to perform together and the stage was much alive due to the endless jokes from the elated guests.

As usual, Xiao S used the recent rumour of her husband’s disloyalty as a gimmick to create more laughter for the crowd. Xiao S’s husband, Mark Xu, was spotted in the company of a girl in a nightclub days ago and this sparked the discussions of possible problems in their marriage., Xiao S took the opportunity to kiss Ah Xin during the performance, claiming that she was seeking vengeance for her husband’s “unfaithfulness”.

ASOS and Mavis Fan, wearing tops decorated with electronic lights in the shape of jellyfish, sang the rock version of “Your sweetness”. They were so exhausted by the demanding performance that they felt like vomiting.

This was followed by Kevin Tsai’s series of rigorous questioning. When asked which of Barbie Hsu’s boyfriend would the other three want to date, Da S “erupted” and “demanded” for the producer to be responsible for such lousy questions. Xiao S joined in the joke by “chasing” the audience away with the reason that they have now gotten knowledge of too much inside information.

After singing “Black and white”, the themesong of their relationship, Christine Fan confirmed that Blackie and her intend to retired from Showbiz in the beginning of next year after their wedding as they plan to set up their own family too. She also revealed her desire to work behind the scenes and contribute to songwriting, this received with warm applause from the audience. Nevertheless, the other three friends were dissatisfied that the marriage proposal took place in their absense. Christine Fan reiterated her innocence as she didn’t even make up for the important occasion, meaning that she was totally unaware of its happening.

Wang Lee Hom brought the crowd to the acme of hysteria with the ending performance of his various hits, “The descendant of the dragon”, “Heartbeat” and etc. Although the usually persistent Xiao S was unable to source out any gossip from him, he could not escape her absurd request for him to carry her. To this, the star mischievously “complained” that she was too heavy, turned around and carried Chen Han Dian, who was disguised as a woman, instead. This led to peals of laughter from the crowd.

vegecrisps — Thu, 20 May 2010 09:28:18 +0000

Korean group SS501 will be attending the 21st Golden Melody Awards as performers and presenters on June 26th. Fans of the group are already leaving messages on the TTV forum, which is airing the show, about their concerns over Dee Hsu (Xiao S). They are worried that the host will get a little too close or ask them some inappropriate questions.

Xiao S recently created some controversies when she asked the Wonder Girls about their “first night’ on Kangxi Lai Le. SS501 fans are worried that she would do the same, so they have asked TTV to give her a friendly reminder on their behalf.

In response, TTV’s Deputy General Manager said Xiao S is very intelligent and will adjust her performance accordingly, “Don’t give her too much pressure. Let her be herself. TTV won’t restrict her, or put her under pressure.” They also revealed that SS501 will be performing a song in Chinese.

Barbie Xu attended John Galliano’s Christian Dior fashion show at the Bund in Shanghai on Saturday. Along with Barbie are Chinese stars Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Ethan Ruan. International stars Charlize Theron and Marion Cotillard were also present during the event.

Xiao S asked Wonder Girls,”When was your first time”?

vegecrisps — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:00:05 +0000

Korea’s hottest female girl group, Wonder Girls, arrives in Taiwan for a promotional trip. The girls had a hectic schedule up ahead & before. Wonder Girls were filming the CF on the day before landing Taiwan, & on the arrival, the girls were heading to many variety shows in Taiwan. A total of 5 schedules to run to despite the shortage of time.

One of the schedule was a recording for a variety show “Mr Con & Ms Csi (Kang Xi Lai Le)”, where host, Xu Xi Di (aka Xiao S) asked a spicy question during the interview ; “When was the first time (experience with sex)?”. The girls immediately turn pale upon hearing that question. Co-Host, Cai Kang Yong, helped to resolve the awkward situation by telling Xu Xi Di that they are quest from afar, they can choose to not answer.

Xu Xi Di curiously asked another question, “Will you girls get beaten up, if you girls can dance properly?” Ye Eun replied saying that “Nope, we won’t, however we get punished for being late by raising our both hands up.” On top of it, host also asked if there is any incompatibility/dislike among the members, Yubin said: “All of us likes to eat different kinds of food, only when comes to ordering food, we will quarrel among each other.” Host Xu Xidi claimed that Ye Eun’s makeup on that day was so thick, she was tremendously surprised despite knowing that Ye Eun was the one that has the best complexion. Ye Eun quickly replied: “I didn’t put this make up on my own…”

During the recording, Wonder Girls performed “Nobody” & “So Hot”, due to technical reasons during the rehearsals, the recording was delayed 2 hours later. Producer came to a decision saying :”Because the girls wants to be perfect, but lots of time will be wasted, therefore, we have no choice but to let the girls lipsynch.” All the schedules behind (for that day) were canceled due to this reason.

Xiao S Feels Distress Over Clara Chou’s Comment About Hei Ren’s Charity Work (LoveLife)

laugdi — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 05:10:48 +0000

Dee Xu (Xiao S) called in a discussion program TVBS 2100 and defends Blackie (Hei Ren) being called by TV Personality Zhou Yu-Kou a “hypocrite”. Blackie recently broke down in tears in front of the media extra money was used to cover costs for the event; he never pocketed any money.

Here’s a transcript of the video above.

Xiao S:	Hello I am Xiao S. Hello everyone. I was watching your programme and I felt very emotional when I heard miss Zhou’s comment. I thought it was ridiculous and unbelievable. Da S (Barbie) and I have been involved in various charity work and donation over the years and every single donation I made, never once was it intended for the purpose of tax rebate. Well yes ok it will facilitate tax rebate, but the sole reason we, Da s and I were involved in charity work was to help others. Zhou Jie commented that Hei Ren’s idea is hyprocritical, I felt that in fact it was her comment that was malicious. Why must we thwarted the idea when people donate money “Ah that’s only because celebrities wants to have the benefit of tax rebate, they aren’t truly charitable”, Why do we have to think this way? Can’t human be truly kind and charitable? I felt that what Zhou Jie said just now, really, was brainwashing the general public, and made people believe that being charitable is no longer truly an act of kindness.
Zhou:	Please take back what you said about “malicious”. I was not referring you directly, because…
Xiao S:	No Zhou Jie, because this concept, this concept…
Zhou:	Please, Xiao S, you are a mom (chuckle), please take back the word malicious. As for the rest of the comment, we have different perspective, I understand and accept that you and heir en are friends. However I have my own stand, and you are on the telephone, making an accusation that the speaker is malicious, I feel disappointed for your two daughters.
Host:	Yes, Xiao S, on this issue I…
Xiao S:	I believe that you can equally retract what you said about being hyprocritical, because what you said was unbelievable.
Zhou:	Some people are hyprocritical, you are not, so I admire you, I congratulate you, however you cannot deny that some other people are hyprocritical when they make donations…
Xiao S:	Yes, but just now you said that they (Hei Ren) are hypocritical…
Zhou:	Basically your kindness and your ignorance, yes.. basically…
Xiao S:	This is basically your blanket assumption…
Zhou:	Basically, we can replay the recorded tape, xiao s, please take back the mistake you made just now, because you are a celebrity, you are a public mother…
Xiao S:	Ok, yes…
Zhou:	Cannot twist everyone’s perception, I respect you…
Xiao S:	Yes Zhou jie, I am here, I am willing to apologise to you, I will take back the malicious comment, however would you be willing to take back what you said just now about…
Zhou:	I don’t need to apologise to you, I was not referring to you, I was not referring to you, please do not make assumptions, Xiao s, thank you.
Host:	Yes yes, Xiao S, Xiao S
Xiao S:	…not supposed to misguide the audience regarding this wrong perception, make them believe that the reason people do charity is to obtain tax rebate…
Zhou:	I believe that Hei Ren’s method has completely twisted the conception of charity, he has deterred aspiring teenagers who wanted to get involved in charity from getting involved. These things, perhaps you can continue…with your friends Hei Ren ( eh?) …Continue discussion, how not to let general public to not have a twisted conception.
Xiao S:	Yes.. but yes… I know. I completely accept your advice humbly. However can’t you also let the general public know that being charitable can be purely innocent, and not about getting tax rebate?
Zhou:	These things can be innocent, but some people are not…
Host:	Yes, Xiao s, we would like to ask your opinion on an issue, actually we have communicated with Mr Chen Jian Zhou from the beginning. His charitable work and his positive image, I believe that the celebrity social circle and Taiwan audience have firm believe in this. However latest information has shown some controversy, maybe it was because it still isn’t completely transparent. Now particularly, the quality standard of explanation given by the media is very high. As a good friend of his, as this issue has progressed so far, apart from feeling sad for Hei Ren, do you feel that perhaps in future if Hei Ren were to embark on any charity work, his actions and method of handling will be some adjustment to avoid similar incidents from happening again?
Xiao S:	Yes, actually Hei Ren has been telling me that he has learnt from his mistake, and from now onwards he will handle the issue in a more transparent manner. When we celebrities were invited by him to take part in “LOVE LIFE“, we had all received an information/news. This news states what we had to do, including to donate $100. Actually all of us who were invited knew about our own circumstances from the beginning until the end. Perhaps he did not announce to the general public immediately as to what was happening, with regards to inviting celebrities’ participations, hoping to publicize this charitable idea and increase awareness of this activity. So Hei Ren has learnt a big lesson from this incident, he knows what to do next, to be clear to everyone, so that he will not be misunderstood. There were other feelings but what he really wanted to do was to help the children. For example many children and their mothers attended the press conference all because of his effort. Another example, he contributed all cost and expenses for a child’s funeral. I know that there are a lot of questions amongst the public, and Hei Ren has to learn from this incident, but what I wanted to emphasize is that many celebrities do charity out of innocent reasons like helping people.
Host:	Yes we sure understand…
Xiao S:	It does not have to be for the purpose of publicity, or to increase own’s reputation, or tax rebate etc… to the extent that if people must have this perception in judging other people when they do charity work, then there will less and less people who would want to get involved in charity anymore…
