WHY I LOVE THE TWINS

Hong Kong sugar-pop duo, the Twins, are not twins. They're not sisters. They're not even related. But somehow Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi keep their place in my heart. Besides the normal creepy reasons, why would a grown man love two young, Chinese pop stars? Here's one reason: their reaction to the news that Gillian's face was plastered across lampshades in a Japanese whorehouse.

On a Metro Radio interview the Twins were asked about the bawdy lampshade. Gillian laughed, “Wow, they look up to me very much!” She was asked if she would sue and said she wouldn't. Then the interviewer pointed out that Cecilia Cheung had won millions suing an organization that illegally used her name, and she changed her tune. Then Charlene asked “Can I have half of the compensation?” And Gillian responded, "No, but I'll buy you dinner if I win."

Yay, Twins!

But there's always a dark side. A sharp-eyed reader sent in this extremely long interview with Edison Chen from the set of THE GRUDGE 2. Edison is shocked he didn't need to bring his assistant, in awe of craft services, and admits it's nice to have a script in English so he can finally understand it. These are not things the Twins would say.
