BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Naked actress photo sparks hunt (307 words)
Hong Kong police are investigating the abduction of an actress 12 years ago after a magazine published a naked photograph of her taken during the kidnapping.
Carina Lau, who shot to fame in Asia for her girl-next-door roles in films during the 1980s, did not report the abduction at the time.
Lau talked about the kidnapping for the first time on Sunday during a protest organised by the film industry to denounce East Week's publication of the picture.
La Brassiere (583 words)
Lau Ching Wan has returned to films after a one year hiatus, and somehow got himself onto a project which involves him sharing scenes with about a dozen pretty women in their undergarments.
Johnny (Lau Ching Wan) and Wayne (Louis Koo) are hired as the first male bra designers for Sis, the firm run by Samantha (Carina Lau).
Lau Ching Wan and Louis Koo have the time of their lives (wouldn't anyone?), take the piss out of themselves happily (Louis is even seen tanning himself!), and wear a pretty pastel range of shirts and ties.
