Stars who hogged headlines

MALAYSIA MAIL - CHINA'S Zhang Ziyi has been in the limelight more than any other Chinese artiste this year. THIS year, Andy Lau has been making his presence felt everywhere –from movies to albums and concerts. WHILE Andy Lau may be the biggest star in Hong Kong, it was comedy king Stephen Chow's movie, Kung Fu Hustle (KFH) that topped the box office this year. TAIWAN'S most celebrated super model – who was voted the 'sexiest woman' in several polls – made the news mainly for the wrong reasons. TAIWAN'S top singer-songwriter Jay Chou clinched the Best Newcomer award in the Golden Horse Awards last month for his acting debut in Initial D. IT'S no doubt a year of musicals for Jacky Cheung. He has taken his Mandarin version of Snow Wolf Lake on a world tour and received rave reviews. He also acted and sang in Perhaps Love – the first Chinese musical film in 35 years. WHILE he raised eyebrows by appearing half-naked with red tattoo all over his body, Aaron Kwok was truly thrust into the limelight when he was named Best Actor for his role in Divergence at the 42nd Golden Horse Awards last month in Taiwan. HONG KONG diva Sammi Cheng has been plagued by ill- health which is said to be linked to her break-up with Andy Hui last year. THE tragic suicide of rising Korean actress Lee Eun-ju on Feb 22 shocked many. The 25-year-old actress was found dead, having hung herself in the dressing room of her apartment in Seoul.
