Filming started at the weekend on the 16th episode in the "Tsuri Baka" (Fishing Fool) movie series. Starring regulars Nishida Toshiyuki (57) as the happy-go-lucky salaryman "Hama-chan" and Mikuni Rentarou (82) as his boss, the latest movie also features hot actress Itoh Misaki (27) in the so-called "madonna" role and Kaneko Noboru (25) as her romantic interest. The movie is set in Nagasaki, Kaneko's hometown. It is also close to the Sasebo US naval base, and making his acting debut as a US serviceman is up-and-coming Nigerian talento Bobby Ologun (32). The gormless Ologun was a regular on the "Sanma no Super Karakuri TV" variety show and made his debut as a K-1 fighter last New Year's Eve. His unexpected victory in that event turned him into a national celebrity and the movie role shows that he's cashing in on that.
• Popular Fuji TV announcer Sasaki Kyoko (32) married 43-year TBS newscaster Ikeda Hiroyuki yesterday. Both are graduates of the prestigious Tokyo University and have been romantically involved for three years. Sasaki plans to continue her TV career.
