SHAKING ANITA MUI'S CORPSE FOR A LITTLE MORE CASH

Some Chinese TV producers have announced that they're going to be shooting an Anita Mui bio television series in the most tasteful way possible: by holding a national celebrity look-a-like contest in order to cast 10 celeb impersonators as the 10 stars Mui was rumored to have an affair with during her career. 2,000 wannabe's were whittled down to 47 finalists who tromped to Shenzhen to sing and dance like their more famous doppelgangers.

The producers were seeking look-a-likes of Anita Mui, Andy Lau (who was barely even linked to Mui romantically), Jacky Cheung, Nicholas Tse, Leslie Cheung (her guy pal), Allan Tam, Andy Hui, Jackie Chan, Anita's ex-boyfriend Zhao Wenzhuo and Anita's elder sister Ann Mui.

Unfortunately no Jackie Chan, Andy Lau or Zhao Wenzhuo copycats made the cut but the producers sanguinely said they'd probably ask those three to play themselves.

Anita Mui's mom has authorized this incredibly dodgy venture.

I think this is being produced by Wong Jing, so that would explain it all.
