Ok, I would so approve the loan. [Please default, default, default....]

Also, someone mentioned before that Kyon may be the most hated actress...who is Kyon?

That would be Miss Daikon-Ashi: Fukada Kyoko

Comparing Nagasawa and Yamashita's acting is like comparing rotten apples to rotten oranges - different, yet rotten.

The popular press does not seem to like Nagasawa because she's a snob. However they seem to like Sawajiri only because she's a slut with a mouth like a sewage overflow.

hahah thats hilarious. BTW, I like Sawajiri Erika though. Perhaps its because she's half what made me like her more. I never liked her before because she always looked like a 13 yr old till her movie Sugar and Spice came out.

That's why I tend to prefer older women like Yonekura Ryoko, Hasegawa Kyoko, Sakurai Sachiko, and Kato Natsuki (well she's still a bit young).

Actress/singer Aya Ueto will star in a remake of the Korean drama series "Hotelier." The original series aired in 2001 on the Korean network MBC. It was later brought to Japan in 2003, and was also popular there.

Ueto will play the heroine (previously played by Song Yun-ah), an assistant manager at a high class hotel. The storyline will remain roughly the same as in the original series.

The new series will be broadcast on TV Asahi in the Thursday 9:00pm time slot, beginning in April.
