Michelle Yeoh Web Theatre News

May 14th
- The Mummy 3: teaser trailer will come out this Friday.

May 13th
- The Children of Huang Shi: New York premiere information. [updated 05/14]

- Update on yesterday's report: Bin is safe. She's in Chengdu City and now has to live in a vehicle. Another Michelle fan, Xiao Yi, from Mianyang County, is safe too - her school was badly damaged but luckily for her, she was outside on the playground when the quake hit (Monday afternoon). Xiao Yi and her family have left Mianyang and are headed for another region. In Mianyang, there are 4,100 people dead, 12,500 injured, and 18,700 under the rubble. The situation in the worst hit area is still unknown.

May 12th
- Scans from the Chinese version of the magazine Cosmopolitan. It turns out the previously posted photos are different from the actual photos shown on the magazine, although they were taken at the same time.

The images were scanned by Bin, aka "A Bird", a Michelle fan from Sichuan Province of China. She sent me the photos the night before the 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit the region on May 12th. I'm still waiting to hear that she's ok...

It is the worst earthquake in China in three decades. The current official death toll is near 10,000, which doesn't include the thousands which are still under the rubble (one collapsed school alone buried about 900 children), as well as Wenchuan County, the epicenter of the devastating quake. All roads to Wenchuan are destroyed and communications are cut off. The situation is unknown for the county which has a population of more than 105,000 people.

Apr. 27th
- Michelle attended the 2008 Audemars Piguet QE II Cup as an Audemars Piguet ambassador on Sunday April 27, at Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong. At the press interviews, reporters asked her about the recent round of her wedding rumors. Michelle thanked reporters' concerns and said she's not planning a wedding soon and she's now very happy. Asked about her new talent agency, Michelle confirmed Taiwanese actress Kelly Lin has already signed on. The company intends to discover more talents, including directors, scriptwriters and other crew members, from Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and other Southeast Asian regions. Michelle said a lawyer is coming with her to this trip and they are observing the Southeast Asian market. A tip Michelle is giving to the newcomers who're interested in getting into the Western market is to learn English which is an "essential tool" for the crossover. "Screen Daily" reported earlier that Michelle's yet-to-be-named company has also signed with Taiwanese model/actress Jennifer Hong and actor Brandon Chang (The Touch) and according to the report, the company is based in Hong Kong and Taipei, and it is scheduled to begin operations in June.
