Chan rocked by more scandal

JACKIE Chan is in the news again - the unsavoury section, unfortunately. A publisher in the mainland has decided to capitalise on the action star's popularity - and, no doubt, some of his notoriety - by publishing a 'tell-all' book about the actor's alleged romantic trysts with 13 of his leading ladies.

The existence of the book, which went on sale for 30 yuan (HK$27) in early March, has only just come to the attention of Chan. He says he will have his people read the book before he decides what course of action to take.

This is not the first time anonymous and unauthorised books have been published about celebrities in the mainland where there is apparently a huge appetite for such accounts. Earlier last year, two books written by people using pseudonyms were published, purporting to tell-all in the break-up of Faye Wong's marriage to mainland rocker Dao Wei.

Studio pulls plug on Hollywood pair A LITTLE - well, not so little - bird tells us that Michelle Yeoh Choo Kheng and Ang Lee had a bit of an adventure in Hong Kong while doing some post-production work on the coming Mandarin-language epic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The duo were doing some dubbing work at a sound studio in Central a couple of Fridays ago when there was a power failure in the building. It would all have been fine had staff not shut the main gates for the safety of the two Hollywood talents. But they did, and then realised that they didn't know how to open them in case of a power failure - which had never happened before.

So Yeoh and Lee were trapped inside while the film's producers Barbara Robinson and Bill Kong - who had come to visit - were left outside.
