(Sorry I have been MIA for months, but now I am back in full gear and will be more active than ever).
Though I am not Korean, I have an interest for all things Korean. I listen to Korean music 95% of the time (the remaining 5% is only because my MP3 player battery died, I am at the club, or I am driving people around who don’t like Korean music). I know there are other Korean entertainment fans reading this blog, so I wanted to share some of my favorite …

Do you find yourself bored, constantly checking Facebook, your email, chatting and just surfing the web? I thought only students were distracted by this but I’m beginning to think students like me aren’t the only victims… You know who you are. I talk to you via facebook, gmail chat through your blackberries all the time and i KNOW you are at “work.”
We are all distracted by and personally affected by internet; we can’t barely get stuff done with it, but we can’t live without it. Checking Facebook and Facebook stalking …

This past weekend the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic premiered. I have not seen so many girls attend this movie premiere since the release of The Sex and the City Movie. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of the movie, and full blown book series on this character who likes shopping too much (sounds like a dilemma for most of the girls I know).

Along this theme of shopping and materialistic possessions: Salma Hayek got married on Valentine’s Day weekend in Paris and got herself her own …

My boy sent me this clip. I just had to share this no matter how inappropriate it is. So I am risking my job by sneaking this past my editor and sharing it with you. I am dedicating this post to Go Pro Andy “I RUN the DOOR” Chen. He will definitely appreciate this post! SHOUT-OUTS to all Arnold Schwarzenegger supporters!
It’s not funny…its FREAKING HILARIOUS! Go Pro!

I absolutely love long weekends. Come on, who doesn’t besides those that didn’t get Monday off?   Anyway, this past weekend was extra special since not only did it include President’s Day, it also included Valentine’s Day/Singles Awareness Day (S.A.D) as well. Whoohoo!
As JSaka shamelessly plugged, we hosted RITUAL Saturdays for our Valentine’s Day spectacular where we hooked it up with an OPEN BAR and $100 Victoria’s Secret gift cards. I guess the word really got out because when I arrived at around 10pm, the line was wrapped around …

The big day is upon us: Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is probably the ONLY holiday that excludes about half of the population. One side revels in relationship bliss while the other side is made acutely aware that he/she is indeed SINGLE and ALONE. Besides the fact that this holiday makes a good majority of us feel like shiet, there is another reason that I dislike Valentine’s Day. It is a COMPLETE RIP OFF.
I remember when Valentine’s day used to be the day when we all …

Lately, it seems like a lot of the Korean artist have been trying to make their way and break into the American Music Industry/Market in the states.  A few months back, Korean-pop artist Seven tried to crack the market and even before that Rain (the suppose Korean-Usher) tried his hand in headlining a performance at the Staple Center.  That event was cancelled due to “technical difficulties – translation difficulty in selling tickets.”

Coming March of 2009, the Wonder Girls will be visiting LA and NY to perform.

Last but definitely not least, …

We’ve all had our own share of what we thought would be “a really cool club concept.”  My was ”City Jungle” where trained monkey would be bartenders and gorillas would be security guards at the door.  Anyhow, that idea and story is for another time to dig into.  If you’re a Hollywood club rat you probably have heard or most likely already checked out David Judaken’s latest club venture with his grand opening of MyHouse designed by Dodd Mitchell.  David Judaken is the owner of Mood, Opera + Crimson, as well as the former …
