Celebrating Best Actress
Corbett | November 6, 2003 4:02 AM

Tonight was the Taiwan Golden Bell awards, which are like the Emmys in the States, and our friend 6Mao was up for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. 6Mao is also my godson's mother, and we were all routing for her since she had been nominated 4 years in a row but never won. Tonight she won both! So we all got together for a late night party.
Today was one neverending social event. First there was a Japanese buffet lunch with Elizabeth at Jogoya, which is like a weird cross between a hi-tech Japanese hair salon and a buffet. They even have their own fancy website. Two hours later there was the huge Flintstones steak dinner with Argus at Formosa Plastics. During the dinner I got a call from Jerry who was back from Japan for a day between shooting his movie and wanted to say hi before he went off to the Philippines to do some promo and meet President Arroyo (Celebrities get to do the weirdest stuff). He was also bringing Vivian over to the Living Room to check it out since she'd never been there. (I couldn't miss this.) I had a few minutes to see him and tease him on his Japanese, chat a bit with Vivian (who is unreal), before running off to check out the Matrix premier. After the movie, we're checking our phones, and that's when we get the news that 6Mao won, so off again to some private karaoke piano bar, where we hang out until 4am. I also shared some of my Argus steak bones with Eric, who has a beagle named Chappy.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
