T-ara’s Jiyeon is into girls for ‘Miss Ripley’

T-ara’s Jiyeon took on a surprising role for MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley‘ On June 6th!

Fans got to see the young idol tackle a challenging part as ‘Yu’, the daughter of the Japanese Prime Minister. Yu was staying at a hotel in Korea, and caused panic when she slipped away secretly.

Actress Lee Da Hae, who played the role of ‘Jang Miri’, was sent out on a search for Yu, and finally found her at a ‘Hallyu Concert’. During this entire process, it was revealed that Yu was a lesbian. Yu was interacting mysteriously with her female friend, and Jang Miri later discovers that was the reason why Yu stole away from the hotel; she was ‘rebelling’ against her father, who was opposed to the relationship.


To persuade Yu to go back, Jang Miri lies to her by saying, “I’m a lesbian, just like you.”

She also tries to gain Yu’s sympathy by telling her that her father died because of her, and so Yu should try to avoid making the same mistake that she did.

In the end, Yu returns to the hotel and even thanks Jang Miri for telling her the story about her father.

Viewers commented, “It was shocking that a high schooler acted as a lesbian” and “Although it was a short appearance, her acting was very good”.

Sunny Hill releases stage version of “Midnight Circus” MV


Sunny Hill recently released a stage version of their “Midnight Circus” MV!

This five-membered group has been grabbing the spotlight with their comeback track, which not only has a catchy beat but also an addictive dance.

The original music video for “Midnight Circus” boasted a star-studded cast, which featured acting from Ga-In, IU, and B2ST’s Kikwang. It seems that their trendy ‘iljin’ dance (where the members swish their fingers back and forth across the floor) is becoming a hot enough topic for the group to launch a dance-focused version of their MV.

Eye to Eye unveils debut MV for “Like a Man”

Vocal unit Eye to Eye dropped their debut album earlier tonight, and they’ve just released the MV for their title track, “Like a Man“.

It’s an interesting video that revolves around a guy getting his butt handed to him in the ring by a petite lady. As it turns out, it’s one of those scenarios where the girl acts out a fantasy of beating up her loser boyfriend, who tries to play it cool.

The video is pretty amusing, but what really blew us away was seeing the trio belt out their soulful voices. Check it out below!

Heechul serenades Rainbow’s Woori on “Strong Heart”

Heechul had fans screaming when he serenaded Rainbow’s Woori recently.

The ’space superstar’ recently guested on SBS’s “Strong Heart“, and talked about his love problems for the topic, “Are you okay with a man like this?“.

Feeling fairly cheeky, he decided to sing Lee Seung Gi’s “Because You’re My Woman“, but changed the lyrics in the song to “Because Woori is my woman.”

Heechul said, “Woori seems cute.. I won’t answer any more public questions.” Woori responded, “This was the first time he has been nice to me. He seems a little different because he’s like this.”

He also revealed that his ideal girl is someone with bangs. MC Kang Ho Dong then asked Woori, “Do you have the courage to cover your forehead“, to which she said, “Maybe just once“.

No prizes for guessing who owns this car: Katie Price adds to her Barbie fleet with a pink Range Rover

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Adding to her fleet: Katie Price, pictured in Marbella with boyfriend Leandro and son Junior last week, has ordered a bright pink Range Rover


There is no mistaking who this Barbie-style car belongs to.

Katie Price is set to take delivery of a new Range Rover - decked out completely in her signature pink.

The 33-year old model and reality TV star is believed to have splashed out £100,000 on a luxury Vogue car - so it would match with her fleet of pink vehicles.


Barbie style: The £100,000 Range Rover Vogue has been customised by Project Khan in Bradford


Katie's collection already includes a pink VW Beetle, a candy pink scooter and a pink horsebox both of which are emblazoned with her famous silver glittery tiara stamp.

She also owns a white Range Rover.

The Barbie pink vehicle is hardly going to help Price remain incognito. She has complained in the past about being trailed by photographers.

She attracted backlash in February when police gave her a rolling road block on the A3, causing lengthy delays for other motorists.


Pink lady: Katie poses with a new customised scooter in March


Today the pink Range Rover was spotted being taken on a test drive outside vehicle company Project Kahn in Bradford West Yorks which customises luxury cars for a string of Premiership footballers. It will be delivered to Katie's house later.


One for the horses: Price also drives a matching horse box


A worker from Project Kahn said: 'Everyone was quite excited when we found out the car was for Katie Price.

'It's a top of the range Vogue with all the fittings and extras such as a satnav.

She bought the car and then it was brought to us to do everything to it.

'Everyone was pretty shocked at the colour when they saw it. Obviously we get asked to do all sorts of things to cars but we've never been asked to paint one this bright a pink before.

'Some people thought it was just a funny idea but some of the workers thought it was a silly thing to do, she'll get spotted straight away in that.


One for every day of the week: And finally, the reality star also owns a pink VW Beetle to complete the fleet


'She chose the colour herself, we made up loads of colour cards for her and that was the exact shade she picked.

'She's had bits of the interior changed, the pedals have been changed to aluminium and she's even had a diamond clock inserted.

'The exhaust was also altered, it's now aluminium and a bit louder but really that was just done for aesthetics so it looked nicer.

'We've dealt with a lot of celebrities wanting to personalise their cars but this was one of the funniest.'

Come on guys... be brave, says £20m singleton Emma Watson, 21

By LIZ THOMAS


Single: Emma Watson, who looked stunning in a green Marchesa dress at the MTV Movie Awards, says her fame intimidates men


With an enviable figure, a successful career and £20million in the bank, Emma Watson might expect to have would-be boyfriends queueing around the block.

Yet the 21-year-old Harry Potter star is currently unattached.

Miss Watson feels that many men are ‘intimidated’ by her.


Leggy lady: The 21-year-old actress showed off her enviable pins in the dress


And she gave them some simple advice: ‘Be brave.’

The elfin-faced Briton, who is busily promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II), the final instalment in the series, told an interviewer that men rarely pursue her.

‘It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me.

‘Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.’

She also revealed how some men feel the need to be rude or dismissive simply because she is famous and successful.

‘Sometimes, perhaps because they are intimidated, they feel they have to knock me down,’ she told the Sunday Times Style magazine.


All white on the night: Earlier in the evening, Emma arrived on the red carpet wearing a short white dress, also by Marchesa


‘They know perfectly well who I am, but say, “How are the Narnia films going?”.’

Billed as the ‘darkest’ Potter film yet, Deathly Hallows II will premiere in London on July 7 and is expected to break box-office records when it is released in cinemas on July 15.

Miss Watson’s character Hermione Granger accompanies Harry on his last attempt to beat Lord Voldemort and his dark forces.

The actress has postponed her studies at Brown University in Rhode Island to focus on her career, and is currently filming The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.


On stage: Emma also treated fans to an exclusive clip from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2



Former love: Emma with financier then-boyfriend Jay Barrymore back in 2008



Rock chick: Emma also appeared in a music video for then-boyfriend George Craig's band One Night Only

Tom Hanks surrounded by London's D-listers at his Larry Crowne premiere

By ANDREA MAGRATH

I'd rather chat to the baby: The Oscar-winner made friends with five-month-old Tyler Sercombe


He's a double Oscar-winner and has been at the top of Hollywood's A-list for over two decades.

But Tom Hanks found himself surrounded by reality stars and glamour models this evening at the supposedly glittering premiere for his new film Larry Crowne.

The actor looked a little bemused as he posed on the red carpet, probably wishing he had his co-star Julia Roberts by his side to add a little more star power to the event.

Roberts will undoubtedly show up to promote the film at the LA premiere on June 27, but she left Tom to go it alone at the screening at Westfield shopping centre in London today.


Who are these people? Tom Hanks looks a little bemused as he poses on the red carpet of his film premiere for Larry Crowne at Westfield


Tom will have had trouble recognising most of the attendees, with the exception perhaps of Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff, who both brought along their young girlfriends.

Other than the Rolling Stone, the Baywatch star and one Cherie Blair, the guests at the premiere were primarily made up of ITV2's finest.


Colourful: Nicola McLean chose to show off her cleavage at the event, Kerry Katona opted for legs, while Danielle Brown broke traditional style rules and showed both


Kerry Katona posed up with her fellow Can Associates clients Nicola McLean and Danielle Brown.

Kerry looked svelte in a her multi-coloured mini dress, which showed off her golden tan from her and Danielle's recent girls trip to Marbella.

Nicola wore a black jumpsuit with a plunging neckline that put her surgically enhanced decolletage on prominent display.


Reality stars: The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers (left) and Lydia Bright both attended



TOWIE night out: Sam posed with her boyfriend Joey Essex on the red carpet, while co-star Harry Derbidge also attended


Elen Rivas was more casual - and far more demure than Nicola - in black jeans and clogs with a T-shirt and tweed jacket.

Also attending the screening were stars of The Only Way Is Essex.

Lydia Bright wore a gold dress with sequinned embellishment and nude heels, while her co-star Sam Faiers wore a nude maxi skirt with a cropped leather jacket.


Someone Hanks might recognise: Ronnie Wood added some star power, attending with his girlfriend Ana Araujo


Sam and Lydia were joined by Sam's boyfriend Joey Essex and their co-star Herry Derbidge.

She tweeted from the screening: 'Was in the same cinema with calzaghe, ronnie woods, the hoff, Tom hanks, and many more! Great film. X x'

Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and KT Tunstall all attended.


Coupled up: David Hasselhoff and girlfriend Hayley Roberts and Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff attended


Lovely ladies: (L-R) Leonora Crichlow went for head-to-toe black, Katie Waissel showed off a new 'do and Sophie Ellis Bextor wore a flirty love heart dress


Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel debuted yet another new hairstyle, arriving with long curly blonde locks after wearing her hair in a short crop for several months.

Tom stars in the romantic comedy (which he also directed), about a man who loses his job and reinvents himself by returning to college.

There, he develops a crush on one of his teachers, played by Roberts. The pair last starred together in Charlie Wilson's War in 2007.
