Maggie Q - Nikita

2011-04-10T17:14:00.001-04:00

Actress and former fashion model Margaret Denise Quigley was born on May 22nd, 1979 in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.
A lot of you may know her as Maggie Q, the star of the CW's Nikita.
Nikita is a remake of La Femme Nikita (1997), Point of No Return (1993) and Nikita (1990).

Maggie you may know from Rush Hour 2 (2001), Around the World in 80 Days (2004), Mission: Impossible III (2006) and Live Free or Die Hard (2007) among others.

Nikita seems to be getting a lot of positive press and good reviews.
I guess I'm the only one that wasn't enamored with it.
Maybe I still have Peta Wilson in my head as Nikita.
Maybe I just see it as a rehash of Alias.
But watching the pilot, I just couldn't get into it.
Maybe the idea that Maggie Q is a lethal weapon is too much of a suspension of belief for me.

I don't know, maybe it will grow on me in time.

Grace Park - Kono Kalakaua - Hawaii 5 0

2011-04-10T17:09:00.000-04:00

Grace Park is in the new Hawaii Five O series.

Actually, I like this new show, even though I was a big fan of the original.
True Alex O'Loughlin is no Jack Lord, but I still like the show.
Maybe because they care enough to keep some links to the old show like keeping the theme (major point to me), going as far as having a cameo of the original McGarrett's 1974 Mercury Marquis and keeping "Book'em Dan-O".

Now back to Grace.
Grace (who was born on March 14th, 1974, Los Angeles, California, yes she is closing in on 40) plays Kona "Kono" Kalakaua.
If you remember the original show, Kono was played by actor, musician, stand-up comedian and skilled surfer Zulu (Gilbert Lani Kauhi).
Again in a bit of a homage, Grace's character is often shown surfing as well.
Well it's either a homage, or an excuse to put Grace in a bikini.
I guess this is about par for Grace, since her BSG character was Sharon Valerii or Number Eight or known by her call sign "Boomer" (later changed to Athena).
Of course if you know the original Battlestar, Boomer was played by Herb Jefferson, Jr., so Grace is used to reworking male roles.

In 2005, Grace came in at 81 on Maxim Online's 2006 Hot 100 List, and in 2006 she came in at 93.
In 2010, she came in at 60, and was the only Korean on the list.
(Although Moon Bloodgood is Dutch, Irish and Korean and she was on the list)

Not enough Grace?

Michaela Conlin - Angela Montenegro - Bones

2011-04-10T17:03:00.000-04:00

Michaela Conlin was born on June 9th, 1978 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
She plays Angela Montenegro on the FOX TV show "Bones".
Michaela gets her exotic good looks from being of Chinese and Irish descent.

Michaela's chararcter on "Bones" is a specialist in forensic facial reconstruction at the Jeffersonian Institution, and the best friend of Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Angela though is not her real name, the name Angela Montenegro came to her in a dream when she was young, and she changed her name to it on her 18th birthday.

On the show, she is the daughter of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top (which I thought was a pretty cool twist).

Julia Ling - Anna Wu - Chuck

2011-04-10T16:46:00.000-04:00

Remember Anna Wu from NBC's Chuck?
Julia Ling was born Shelwei Lin on February 14th, 1983 in Southern California.
Julia was the awesome Anna Wu on NBC's Chuck.
I don't think there has been such a combination of cute and deadly since Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill.
She can fight well enough to prompt the normally unflappable Casey to call for a background check on her when he saw her fighting.
And with good reason, Julia was one of ten finalists in the Los Angeles Region of Jackie Chan's Disciples competition in 2007.

Besides Chuck, Julia has appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 8 Simple Rules, ER, House, Grey's Anatomy and The O.C.
Julia speaks Mandarin, Teochew, German, English and is learning more languages!

Eiko and Wataru both made appearance in the bizzarre HUSTLE wrestling promotion in Japan.

Along with Maho Nonami, Eiko starred in 2LDK, a film about two actresses up for the same part, that leads into them pretty much beating the crap outta each other for the remainder of the film.

Gong Li - Beautiful Chinese Actress

2010-07-06T12:56:00.004-04:00

Beautiful Chinese actress Gong Li was born on December 31, 1965 in Shenyang, China.

She made her acting debut in the 1987 Chinese film, Red Sorghum. Based on a novel by Mo Yan, this film received international acclaim and won the Golden Bear at the 1988 Berlin International Film Festival.
Of course this thrust Gong into the spotlight.
She followed up her role in Red Sorghum with roles in The Empress Dowager and Mr. Sunshine.
Her fourth film Codename Cougar (1989) was regarded by critics as purely frivolous work, but for her role as Ah Li in the movie, Gong Li won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Her next two films brought her even more fame, A Terracotta Warrior (1990) got her nominated for the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress, and Ju Dou (also in 1990) was the first Mainland Chinese film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Gong Li has gone on to appear in over thirty films, making her English speaking debut in 2005 as Hatsumomo in Memoirs of a Geisha.
After that she appeared in Miami Vice (2006) as Isabella and Hannibal Rising (2007) as Lady Murasaki.

She is set to appear in the 2010 drama-mystery-thriller film Shanghai with John Cusack, Chow Yun-Fat and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Then it's back to China to appear in the comedy romance What Women Want with Andy Lau.

By the way...did I mention that she was 45 years old?

Kind of a martial arts/ action-adventure film with maybe a little bit of parkour thrown in for good measure.

And Praiya now has a MySpace page now that you an visit as well:

Asian Model - Veronica Yoo

2010-04-01T10:54:00.002-04:00

I did a write up on figure and fitness competitor, fitness model, health columnist and personal trainer Veronica Yoo over at my Asian Fitness Blog, but I think she is beautiful enough to be included here.

Hey, I've had fitness cross overs before.

Fitness models and figure competitors can look hard and ripped, but also very feminine as you can see in these shots.
I think Veronica hits that happy medium quite nicely.

And just so you dont think this Korean beauty is just for looks, here's a list of the figure competitions she's been in....

2007 FAME WNSO: 2nd Place Bikini Model
2007 FAME WNSO: 5th Place Fitness Model
2007, FAME National Championship: 7th Place Fitness model, 9th Place Bikini Model
2007, Miami Universe International : 18th Place Bikini Model.
2008, FAPAQ QUEBEC DE L'OUEST( Montreal ): 1st Place Figure.
2009, FAPAQ PROVINCIAL FIGURE : 1st Place Figure

Her website Yoo Fitt isnt up yet, but there are still a lot of ways you can keep up with her online.

You can see her Facebook page here:

Vilan Vi - One Last Look?

2010-03-19T12:17:00.003-04:00

Another Asian beauty that seems to be very popular here is Vietnamese model Vilan Vi.
And I think I know why.
I mean other than she is gorgeous.
It looks like this beautiful young lady has pretty much disappeared from the net.
Her website http://www.vilanvi.com/ is gone.
There's her ModelGraphy entry that's still up.
http://www.modelgraphy.com/us/vilan_vi.html
And her HIN City entry is still there, but with no pictures.
http://www.hincity.com/models/profile.asp?id=93701N21VH9SB70DR0OAGR681

So maybe Vilan has left modeling.
But at least we have one last parting shot here.

Grace Park Updates

2010-03-05T10:34:00.002-05:00

Looking over what brings people to this site, I kept seeing the terms battlestar galactica asian girl, asian girl from battlestar galactica, asian girl in battlestar galactica and I realized that Grace Park (she's the Asian girl from Battlestar Galactica) must be very popular.

Grace was born on March 14, 1974, in Los Angeles, California, but her family moved to Canada before she was two.
She grew up in Kerrisdale, a neighborhood in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, graduated from Magee Secondary School, and got her degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia.

Grace made her acting debut in the 2000 film, Romeo Must Die in a bit part as an Asian dancer.
She's done a lot of TV and movie work, and she seems to do a lot in the Sci Fi field appearing in "The Immortal", "The Outer Limits", "Dark Angel", "Stargate SG-1", "Jake 2.0", "Andromeda", "The Dead Zone" and of course, "Battlestar Galactica".
Although a lot of her Canadian fans may remember her as Shannon Ng in the Canadian TV series teen soap, Edgemont.
Edgemont also aired in the United States on the Fox Family Channel.

Since Battlestar Galactica went off the air, Grace has stayed busy appearing in "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "The Cleaner" and "The Border" .
She even appeared in the made for television movie, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, reprising her role as Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii or Number Eight.

Grace and her Battlestar Galactica co-star, Tricia Helfer appeared in Electronic Arts' Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

She will be appearing as Kona Kalakaua, niece of squad member Chin Ho Kelly, in the CBS reboot of "Hawaii Five-O".

Lee Hyori and Her Comeback

2010-02-09T15:42:00.002-05:00

Her new album will be coming out at the end of February (or early March), and the album has a track on it called Bring It Back which will feature Jiyoon (4minute) and Bekah (After School).

Lee is also doing some modeling for the clothing brand TOPGIRL.

I really don't understand why Lee is not more of an international hit.
She can sing and she is drop dead gorgeous.
A lethal combination.

Besides her three albums (Stylish...E, Dark Angel and It's Hyorish), Lee has appeared on the South Korean variety show Happy Together, Three Leaf Clover, If In Love...Like Them, Sang Sang Plus, Change, Mnet Off the Record, SBS ON AIR and Family Outing.

She is better known as Amerie. Amerie is a multiracial (African American & Korean) American R&B singer. She debuted in 2002 with the album All I Have, primarily written and produced by Rich Harrison. "1 Thing", the lead single from her second album, Touch, introduced her native D.C.'s go-go elements, on which she expanded with the 2007 album Because I Love It.

She was born to an African-American father and a Korean mother.

Her father works for the U.S. Intelligence Division United States military, so Amerie traveled to and lived in many different places, including Alaska, Texas, Germany, and South Korea. She has a younger sister, Angela Rogers, who is now her lawyer. She finally settled in Washington, D.C., which she considers her hometown. In 1996, she started studying at Georgetown University for a degree in English and Fine Arts and graduated in 2000.

Amerie's first language is Korean. However, after the family left Korea, Amerie's mother made a conscious effort to limit the use of Korean with her daughters out of fear that it would impede their development of English proficiency. In an interview with KoreAm Journal, Amerie stated that she is now only "conversational" in the Korean language and speaks it at home with her mother, Angela, and extended Korean family members.

Amerie also bears a tattoo featuring her given name in Korean script on her lower back, which can be seen in the music video for "1 Thing". The tattoo does not directly translate to Amerie, but "Emeuri" while the Korean media pronounces her name "Eimeori" however. Amerie is noted for signing her name in both English and Korean when giving autographs.
