haha! So you read about Sawajiri&#039;s and Nagasawa&#039;s infamous rivalry eh? I wonder how much of it is true, though it does seem entirely plausible. Sawajiri especially is notorious for her bad behaviour and arrogance towards other stars (even her senpei&#039;s, *tsk tsk*! ) and she deserves the backlash from the media for her petulance on stage promoting her recent movie. Nagasawa on the other hand, looks like sweet person. Can&#039;t imagine her being all bitchy and ring-leader of a bunch of starlets, but who knows....anyway, if these two really detest each other, then Sawajiri would find satisfaction in seeing Ryo slap/kick Nagasawa..... :D

Talking about cross cultural collaboration...wouldn&#039;t it be fun if Ruka came to Korea and hooked up with Eun Chan? Han Kyul has no chance against the charmingly kakooii Ruka! </description>

		<description>@Felicity,

And in fact, it&#039;s actually unprecedented nowadays to see 2 top female starlets (i.e. different agencies) cast in the same J-drama.  But Nagasawa and Juri (and you can tell she&#039;s totally alpha from her interviews) seem to get along FAMOUSLY offset too.  (Haha, poor Sawajiri.  I guess her &quot;kai&quot; has revolted full stop!)

Anyway, Last Friends -- give or take Ryo&#039;s Frankenstein-ish (though otherwise very brave choice and admirable for a JE idol to do this) domestic abuser -- is absolutely fab.</description>

		<description>Kdramas are boring these days. I can&#039;t find the enthusiasm to watch any of them lately....*stiffles a yawn*

On the other hand, the Japanese doramas this spring season rocks. Change, Osen, Zettai Kareshi, Last Friends.....all very entertaining in their own way. Damn it, I&#039;ve developed a girl crush on Ueno Juri! Lol, talking about intense, Juri is  known for being intense on the set and speaking her mind to directors too. (sorry Javabeans, I can&#039;t stop babbling about Japanese dramas/actors/idols lately. Gomen ne? :))</description>

		<description>La...kers?  Is it basketball season already?

If I never hear the words &quot;sex,&quot; &quot;and,&quot; &quot;the,&quot; and &quot;city&quot; in that order ever again, it will be too soon. SATC makes me feel the way I do when I leaf through beauty mags, i.e. unhappy with my looks, my clothes, my belongings, and dissatisfied with self.  Which is why I avoid both.

I can&#039;t watch Choi Jiwoo anymore. I think I&#039;ve developed a tic; eyes roll and jaw clenches of their own accord whenever she (1) wails, (2) cries, (3) whines. Which is, like, always. She&#039;s pretty though.</description>
