Homeboy Vanness Wu in HK

Van Ness Wu and Phillip Wu made a mockumentary in the throes of HK. Vanness dons a funky British accent and tries to prove he's famous.

I was laughing pretty much the whole time. If you haven't been following Vanness's life these past 6 months, you'll miss the absurdly of lots of the conversation. Especially the "when is the last time you had...".

I am from The Heights area of the greater Los Angeles area and have actually seen Van around town. If I am not mistaken, Van resides in The Heights when he comes back to the US where his parents live. However, I've never seen anyone approach him for a photo. If I do bump into him in the future, I'll make sure to ask him to sign my death warrant.

If you're a Vanness Wu fan, you need to check the whole thing out. Props to Phillip for making it Blair Witch style but with less shaking.

There are way too many comments on the YouTube and AliveNotDead post, but it seems that the "mockumentary" part is lost on many. Mockumentary means that everything is meant to mock the premise of the film. The lady in the store was prolly in on it.

America's Best Dance Crew - Season 5 - 2nd Challenge

A couple of nights ago was the fifth episode of America's Best Dance Crew (Season 5), Music Video Challenge.

In that episode, the remaining eight crews for season 5 took the stage, but in the end, Royal Flush bit the dust and is headed home.

The challenge was strange and thus the performances in general where awkward. Reading between the lines, it sucked. Shopping cars?! Props can suck and a shopping cart does suck.

I predicted a South crew getting eliminated this week. I think a West crew next week. Weak weak performances all around.

Celebs all around in the audience. Guess who showed up? Manny Pacquiao! I wonder if they let him sing 8 songs after the battles ended.

If the Lady Gaga challenge sucks, count me out until the finals.

2010 Winter Olympics Ladies' Figure Skating

Kim Yu-Na does the expected and crushes the competition by over 20 points. Living up to the hype and the weight of a nation's expectation. It was an pretty impressive showing. Yu-Na has a sensuality to her performances that I am sure she'll build on back in Korea.

Mao Asada may have been considered the best 4 years ago, she's only second best these days. Mao has an quirkiness about her that does go against her in direct comparison to Yu-Na. I expect her to come back and get the gold in 4 years after Yu-Na retires.



Homegurl Mirai Nagasu (home in terms of from Los Angeles) puts on her best show to date and says, watch out for me when I am 20.

I've always enjoyed figure skating as its both athletic and graceful at the same. Like gymnastics on ice.

Due to the current state of figure skating, this year was the best I've seen. The girls are pushing the spins to amazing levels. When are the women going to start doing quads?

Christine Fan Sings The Star-Spangled Banner

Christine Fan of Ohio sang The Star-Spangled Banner at a Nets game recently. Considering the Nets are 5-52 at the moment. I'll guess that the Nets lost the game. They haven't won a home game so far in February. Is this the same game in which Christine's longtime boyfriend, Blackie proposed to her?

In any case, Christine's rendition wasn't bad. But I don't know if anyone from that game is going to remember. Of the 100+ sporting events I've been to with the national anthem, I seriously remember ZERO of them. ZERO! Nada, none, nothing-O!

2010 Winter Olympics Ladies' Figure Skating - Started

Last night, the 2010 Winter Olympics Ladies' Figure Skating started.

After the short program, 4 Asians are in the top 6. The leader at the moment is Korean superstar Kim Yu-na. Followed by Mao Asada. Miki Ando and Mirai Nagasu hold spots 4 and 6 respectively.

The LA Times article, "Young Asian American skaters dream they can soar" came out this past Sunday. In the article, "Coach Victoria Stratton said those Asian girls who most often excel at the sport are short and slim, and lack hips." Interesting.

In any case. The Asian sistas are laying a beat down on the rest of the group.

After seeing Kim Yu-Na for the first time since the 2009 worlds here in LA, I can't imagine anyone beating her. She really is that good.

In any other year, Mao would be the champ. Especially if you compare it to the 2006 scores. I think the 2002 games were on the previous scoring system that caused a lot of flack for tampering.
