Hong Kong actress Miriam Yeung has signed up as the face of Japanese cosmetics brand Shiseido.
While Angelina Jolie appears in Shiseido ads (aired only in Japan) for their powder and liquid eyeliner, Miriam will be their new ambassador for the company’s whitening skincare products in Hong Kong and China. Reputable Hong Kong photographer Angus Chan and creative director Nam Kong directed the long photo shoot.
During an interview with the media, Miriam said she “will need to make sure she uses the product to keep looking beautiful, otherwise (she) will lose out when the time comes to ‘meet the parents’ for real.” Guess she was talking about her blossoming relationship with boyfriend Real Ting.
“I’ve grown up now and I appreciate the concern that everyone is showing me,” she added.
When asked how her love life is at the moment, she pitched for Shiseido, saying it is “whitening.”
Good luck, Miriam!

Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman has been has been chosen to front Nintendo’s advert campaign for its ‘brain training’ techniques.
Highly accredited with keeping her looks young, Moulin Rouge star Nicole Kidman is now set to prove her brain is as youthful.
Nicole is to promote More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima, which measures users’ speed and accuracy in completing aptitude tests. She will appear in print and on TV in Europe as part of a 60 day brain exercise program for the new Nintendo More Brain Training ad campaign in Europe, but rather interestingly, she will not be playing the role in the Aussie ad campaign.
The 40-year-old, who was born in Hawaii but raised in Australia, appears with a handheld console trying out the latest “brain training” exercises.
Nicole declared herself a fan.
“I love the concept that Nintendo is reaching out to new audiences with their self improvement products like Brain Training. Most importantly, I’ve quickly found that training my brain is a great way to keep my mind feeling young,” said Kidman.
Nintendo Europe said in a statement it chose Kidman “because of her universal appeal to mainstream audiences of all ages and backgrounds, as well as her reputation for being intelligent, entertaining and genuine. Her personality and ability to combine the world of film with a family centric home lifestyle was felt to be a strong fit with the Nintendo DS, which prides itself in creating entertainment and experiences that enrich people’s lives – no matter what their age or previous gaming experience is.”

A couple days ago I posted what my friend Buck had to say about the nightlife in San Diego. He is also a great connoisseur of gourmet cooking, and he talked at length about some of the finest La Jolla restaurants, also frequented by Hollywood icons.
Obviously La Jolla is one of the major gastronomic centers in San Diego and is a haven for several restaurants that have established themselves as elite dining experiences. One of them is Trattoria Acqua’s Gourmet Italian Cooking nestled in the quaint village, while its Mediterranean feel is reminiscent of the Italian coastline.
Rated by USA Today as one of the Top-Ten Italian Restaurants in the United States, Trattoria Acqua is a place to mark in San Diego–which, I think, is a shade simpler than flying 12 hours to Italy for authentic Italian cuisine.
Just my 2 cents, thanks to Buck.

British singer Lily Allen brought her unique style to the High Street Tuesday at the launch of her own fashion line in London. New Look chain of stores hosted the star’s inaugural collection of dresses, jewelry and shoes, called Lily Loves.
The 22-year-old brunette, who wore one of her own floral print creations to the launch, now follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Madonna, who have entered into similar partnerships with TopShop and H&M respectively.
At a launch event, Lily took the opportunity to promote her range over that of celebrity rival Kate Moss, whose Topshop collection had its U.S. premiere at New York store Barney’s the same evening. Lily’s new range is markedly smaller than the supermodel’s at just six dresses plus footwear and jewelry.
The singer - whose hits include “Littlest things” and “Smile” - insisted that there was no rivalry, despite slamming Moss’ efforts. Allen commented to MTV, “Kate Moss’ range is great; it’s just not for people like me.
“Fashion can be fun and for everybody, it doesn’t have to be for tiny little sticks.”
She added: “I don’t see any point in comparing these things. I did not go into music to compare myself to other artists… it’s a bit boring really. We are just women and trying to get on with our lives.
“We have totally different fan bases. Kate Moss is a model for God’s sake. Of course they are going to sell more than I do - they are massive international names. I do not see it as a competition at all.”
Lily said that she looked at 300 of dresses that were in her wardrobe for inspiration and wanted something more than the “usual pretty flower style.”
Prices range from $10 for a flower ring to $110 for a “fox-trot ruffle” dress in the Lily Loves collection.
