My immediate reaction is that she isn’t wearing the traditional blue outfit or the “ox horns” hairstyle as seen in the video game. And I’m not complaining, it’s probably for the better. What do you think? Below you will find a piece of fan created concept artwork of what everyone believed Kreuk would probably look like as Chu-Li.rapvirusFri, 23 May 2008 04:44:48 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/first-look-kristin-kreuk-in-street-fighter-the-legend-of-chun-lihttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/3185http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/3185Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history Sunday, taking the Indy Japan 300. "It's a long time coming. Finally," Patrick, 26, told the Associated Press. "It was a fuel strategy race, but my team called it perfectly for me. I knew I was on the same strategy as Helio [Castroneves] and when I passed him for the lead, I couldn't believe it. This is fabulous." Patrick finished 5.8594 seconds ahead of recent Dancing with the Stars champ Castroneves on the 1.5-mile oval.rapvirusMon, 21 Apr 2008 00:25:17 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/danica-patrick-makes-historyhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/2407http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/2407Celine Dion is now in Seoul, South Korea. She displayed a pair of smooth legs. This contrasted with her previous stage appearance in Tokyo, Japan, that showed her with hairy legs. Apparently she had read about herself in the press or somehow was persuaded to remove the hair on her legs. Celine’s new look was one that was ultra groomed. She looked beautiful and reminded her fans that age was not a factor in her career. She would become 40 years old in 2008.KingMFri, 21 Mar 2008 03:36:53 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/celine-dion-cleans-up-her-acthttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/2207http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/2207Celine Dion was in Toyko last weekend. She did not have a material wardrobe malfunction but suffered an oversight. She forgot to shave her legs. The harsh stage lighting showed that her legs were fuzzy. Celine had released her new album, “Taking Chances” last November. She started her world tour on Valentine’s Day and her first destination was South Africa. After Japan, she would be moving on to China.KingMWed, 12 Mar 2008 15:36:37 -0700http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/celine-dion-s-oversight-malfunctionhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1924http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1924 Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen were all smiles as they touched down and made their way through their terminal at LAX airport on Thursday (February 28). The co-star couple are returning to the States after a trip overseas for the Tokyo premiere of their Valentine’s Day release “Jumper”. As previously reported by Gossip Girls, the former OC star and the Star Wars stud were in Japan trying to stir up the same box office draw there as they received in the States. In their new movie, Jumper, “A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between ‘Jumpers’ and those who have sworn to kill them”.rapvirusFri, 29 Feb 2008 08:24:19 -0800http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/rachel-bilson-and-hayden-christensen-hit-laxhttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1864http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1864The O.C cutie-patootie Rachel Bilson debuted her new blunt bang ‘do at the premiere of Jumper in Japan today.

It clung close to her figure and Nicole obliged the cameras by further bunching up the loose folds to show her small baby bump. She is about 4 months in the way. Nicole, 40, made her rounds in Japan and she was in Tokyo for the premiere of her movie, The Golden Compass. She said that her kids, Connor, 15, and Bella, 13, have seen the movie. They loved it. She acted in the movie because she wanted her children to share it with their friends.KingMSat, 23 Feb 2008 07:20:15 -0800http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/nicole-kidman-shows-baby-bumphttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1733http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1733Nicole Kidman knew that all eyes were on her baby bump so she decided to assist the photographers by serving the dish to them directly. She wore the best transparent dress she could lay her hands on. Nicole wore this at the premiere of The Golden Compass, in Japan. In her interview, she said that she chose to act in that movie because it was child-friendly. Was her dress child-friendly? She said that her adopted children, Bella and Connor, have watched the movie and they loved it.KingMSat, 23 Feb 2008 00:13:51 -0800http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/nicole-kidman-s-transparent-dress-to-promote-child-friendly-golden-compasshttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1626http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/1626Takashi Murakami is bringing his retrospective to the Brooklyn Museum of Art from April 5 to July 13, relocating the art exhibition from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. While more than 90 works from the Louis Vuitton-designing Japanese artist will be on display for the public to drink in, VIP art and fashion world insiders will be treated to an NYC gala at the museum’s Eastern Parkway. Kanye West is slated to perform once again, while his hip hop comrade Jay-Z is co-chairing the event. Expect Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs to make an appearance, with either his boy-toy Jason Preston or porn star Erik Rhodes (or both?) on his arm. Louis Vuitton is installing a pop-up store in the Brooklyn venue, like it did in the MOCA, catering to those who want a piece of Murakami and LV after viewing the exhibit.KingMTue, 19 Feb 2008 05:19:28 -0800http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/murakami-goes-easthttp://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/425http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/425All of us here in the United States have had our chance to check out Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by now.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had recently announced plans to dispatch an armed observation ship to track the Japanese whaling fleet and gather evidence for a possible lawsuit at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. The news was revealed by chief government spokesman Nobutaka Machimura in a press conference today. Machimura said: “Japan will not hunt humpback whales.”rapvirusFri, 21 Dec 2007 13:43:28 -0800http://www.blabberstar.com/news/view/japan-will-not-hunt-humpbacks
