In the dark about Edison Chen as West heads East

The Kanye West bandwagon is about to roll into town, in Beijing at the Worker's Gymnasium on Saturday and Shanghai two days later. The young West lived in China for a year so this will be a homecoming of sorts, but there is one issue that perplexes me. According to gossips, Edison Chen has been approached to help promote the Glow in the Dark tour. Apparently, Chen and West are friends and the US rapper is hoping to ease the one-time singer and actor back into entertainment circles. Fans of my column will recall Chen was run out of Hong Kong after pictures of him having sex with various celebrities went viral on the Web.

Meawhile, one of those celebrities, Cecilia Cheung, has been avoiding the limelight and reportedly put on weight, leading to speculation she was pregnant, followed by rumors she had a miscarriage.

When journalists asked husband Nicholas Tse if this was true the entertainer replied: "If you ask that again, I will make you drink milk powder," referring to the melamine-tainted food scandal. Tse's strong suit is obviously not winning hearts and minds.
