Hot Asian Men Set Off Club’s Smoke Alarm
October 25, 2007
NOT-SO-SILENT NIGHT
A merry prankster pulled the fire alarms four times amid Far East Movement’s long-awaited performance at the Finishing the Game opening night party at San Francisco’s Club Six, ruining Justin Lin and Roger Fan’s highlight of the evening.
As the hip-hop trio waited for word from the barkeep to keep the show going, the fourth time was the last straw, and the Finishing the Game cast ran out to appease the disgruntled musicians, who were rightfully tiffed at the mystery dope who was probably smoking his namesake near a smoke detector somewhere on the premises.
WAS IT REALLY HAMMER TIME?
Is Fast and the Furious director Justin Lin’s angel investor really gone? Of course not! Stanley Burrell, a.k.a. MC Hammer, is very much alive and still chilling in the East Bay. Apparently, another Stanley Burrell died recently, and the Internet blogging monkeys went into histrionics.
But MC Hammer can still kill your dreams of being a music video booty-shaker via his new Web site, Dance-Jam, where he plays Simon Cowell to your laughable moves. Bai Ling need not apply.
DUSTIN NGUYEN: I’D GO SO FANBOY!
Dustin Nguyen has an astonishing resume as one of the most memorable TV stars from Generation X, and now that new wave is cool again, he’s also rediscovering the benefits of fame and fortune—working with stars like Pamela Anderson, Cate Blanchett and Justin Lin, in Finishing the Game. He does admit one secret celeb crush: Metallica’s lead guitarist, Kirk Hammet. “I would definitely have to try not to squeal,” he said with a smile. “I haven’t had any time to go to a concert this year, but I can’t wait to go home and be with my wife.”
ON THE SCENE: STEVE AOKI DJS TOPLESS, GETS YOU WET
Hipsters were pouring out the door of the Rickshaw Stop, and inside, they were pouring sweat into their ironic sweatbands. Steve Aoki, Devon Aoki’s brother and owner of Dim Mak Records, decided to forgo the irony (and his T-shirt).
If you didn’t catch the topless U.C. Santa Barbara grad and his dangerously low yellow pants (gone commando?), I guess you were riding the special bus that night. Redeem yourself on Saturday: DJ Krush, that crazy Chinese-Canadian kid, is coming to town!
ANN CURRY BUMPS OFF KATIE COURIC
Holy upgrade, Batman! NBC host Ann Curry can thank her lucky stars she only sat in for Katie Couric on Katie’s sick days, because today, the former-Today host’s career is in the gutter, while Ann just picked up a fourth hour on the show.
Her dream task: interviewing Osama bin Laden and asking him “hard questions.”
CHRISTMAS ALREADY?
The cast of This Christmas tempted shoppers at Serramonte Mall to take a chance at singing with Chris Brown. Winners will be announced soon — and one lucky girl or gal will get to go to New York City to perform live at the BET holiday special with Delroy Lindo, Idris Elba, Loretta Devine and Dreamgirls’ very own Sharon Leal.
Though the real winners might have been the ladies who got to see Mekhi Phifer in person. Yummy!
