Uh, shouldn't this be in the Cosplay thread??? :beatyou:

Oh yes, sorry. :say_sorry:

It was actually to show the future HardGay jr., but cosplay is the only thing I found. :pout:

She was shocked by her earlier work? wtf? :shakehead:

No sh‚¢t? :sweat: I've heard her sing. Thank god for protools. It makes drunk salariman karaoke night sounds like pro.

Retire? She just made a lot of dough showing her ASSests. That's it. We all saw it, so meh... she's not interesting anymore. tsugi! :hehe: :beaten:

my neighbours' cat mating growls sound much better than her singing.

and they're not ashamed of having sex!

so screw Leah Dizon!

yeah, i mean wtf. she's actually ashamed of her past job. and she should've realized that you don't sing with boobs before starting her career

Maybe she should grab some Rosetta Stone Japanese Language CDs...

Sorry to burst your bubbles ^^
We discussed the Dizon-retiring -thing all over @ JPM and it ended up being a rumour, since she's releasing a new single the 26th.
That "article" was around like.. three weeks ago? ;)

Oh and about Koda, her already once postponed live-dvd will be out in the end of this month.
Seems like Avex will test the waters before actually making a move with the also-postponed best-album.

Singer Wada Akiko (57) is renowned for her tough talk when it comes to misbehaving celebs. Her target yesterday was sumo grand champion Asashoryu (27), who's latest scandal involved him verbally abusing a newspaper reporter who snapped photos of him in Honolulu airport. Unhappy about being seen in an aloha shirt and shorts, he told the reporter to "Drop dead!" By the time he arrived back in Tokyo he'd changed into a kimono more befitting a yokozuna. Wada said "He's bad by nature. I'd like to have a month with him. I'd take him on too, if I were a bit stronger." She said he could learn a lesson from African-American enka debutant Jero (26) and his humble manner.

:tired:

aleyna is right.

I'm partly happy. Then again, some stuff just.. shouldn't be there (SS501 can talk to me when they master even 0.5% of the Japanese THSK does. I cringed when I tried to listen to them. EOD. And Leah Dizon also.. :shakehead: ).
EXILE and Hikki win big (Where's my enka-prince!?).

Jero is <3. Totally.
