hivalry is not dead, especially when accusations of plastic surgery are involved. The entertainment press got an earful earlier this week from Chinese heartthrob Huang Xiaoming (黄 晓明), who spoke out in defense of his girlfriend, 21-year-old Hong Kong model and otaku dreamgirl Yang Ying (杨颖), who goes by the name Angelababy. The two lovebirds have been in the spotlight since publicly acknowledging their romance in Shanghai a few weeks ago, and Internet chatter speculating that Angelababy had a facelift and more to jumpstart her career prompted an angry response from Huang.

Last month Blackie resigned as the host of a talk show after producers brought on a guest who engaged in rumormongering about his pop-star pal Jay Chou (周杰伦). But thanks to the Apple Daily, we can rest assured that the basketball starturned-entertainer has been eating well and everything is peachy with him and his girlfriend, pop singer Fan Fan (范玮琪). In an article that racked up a lot of hits this week, the paper's reporters stalked
