Movie Reviews and Previews Surprise, it’s a new Cloverfield movie A couple of years ago, JJ Abrams sprung a new Cloverfield movie on us after only a few months of hype. That movie, 10 Cloverfield Lane, turned out to be pretty good. And then began the hype for the next Cloverfield movie, which was, by that point, assumed to be By Sarah • Feb 06, 2018 03:33 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zhang Ziyi’s stripes and heavy jacket Is it a dress or a skirt? SO pretty. But why cover it with such a heavy jacket? Especially in LA in August. I’d like to see it off. By Lainey • Aug 23, 2013 10:17 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Grandmaster in New York! Wong Kar-Wai’s The Grandmaster (now presented by Martin Scorsese) screened in New York last night. The director and his stars, Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung, were there with Susan Sarandon and Samuel L Jackson. As you know, like a proper Hong Kong girl, I LOVE Tony Leung. And he By Lainey • Aug 14, 2013 05:02 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Two peplums Sophia Bush looks great in this peplum pantsuit. And that surprises me because I hate lace and I hate when lace is lined with nude. But somehow, here, it works. As for Zhang Ziyi – that peplum is huge. I wonder if it’s too huge or if it’s maybe By Lainey • May 23, 2013 09:34 am
Hair Oh thank God it was a wig Zhang Ziyi showed up with short hair last night at the Palais in Cannes and I recoiled in horror. The hair. It looked like she’d chopped it, and I was all ready to write an article today, finally with photo accompaniment, about why it’s hard for Chinese girls By Lainey • May 16, 2013 10:40 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Chinese Benjamin Button Tony Leung is 50 now! That kinda just... it came up fast. There was a time I wanted to marry Tony Leung. Most girls growing up in Hong Kong homes did. He was Hong Kong’s most popular television actor. He had just starred in a very popular tv series By Lainey • Feb 07, 2013 06:35 pm

Top Reads Zhang Ziyi was paid? Many of you have been emailing about this story. To truly appreciate it though, maybe a general backgrounder on what it means to be a Chinese entertainer...? There’s a reason my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, thinks actresses are whores. It’s because in Chinese Asia, they almost always By Lainey • May 31, 2012 12:30 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zhang Ziyi Cinderella dress Zhang Ziyi was at the Rome Film Festival last night for the premiere of Love for Life. If ever there was a dress for Cinderella... Not sure about the choice of earrings but really like the makeup. (How long is this Rome Film Festival anyway???) By Lainey • Nov 03, 2011 07:09 am
Ziyi Zhang Hello Kitty at the Grammys No clue what Zhang Ziyi was doing at Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy party but Hello Kitty Chinagirl should have stayed home… You know how North Americans have that expression about trailers? You can take the girl out of the trailer park but… blah blah blah? My mother has one about By Lainey • Feb 09, 2008 07:00 pm
Kate Bosworth White and Yellow in Animal At the Fendi Great Wall of China fashion show – Zhang Ziyi and Kate Bosworth in super high fashion, black tights, and lots of leg. Barring the thought that something may have died in the making and hoping that it’s faux, am all over both looks. Especially ZZ’s boots. By Lainey • Oct 18, 2007 08:00 pm
