Designer L'Wren Scott dies in New York
The fashion industry was devastated on Monday when it had to say good bye to L'Wren Scott, a widely celebrated designer. Scott, in her late forties, was found hanging from a scarf in her upscale New York apartment in what appears to be a suicide.
The designer, celebrity stylist and former model styled many of Hollywood's leading ladies for the red carpet and went on to create her own high-end clothing line that's been a favorite of big names including Nicole Kidman and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Scott first arrived in Los Angeles in the 1990s and became the first-ever style director for the Academy Awards. Her clothing collection, launched in 2006, was sold at Barneys New York, Maxfield and other high-end stores. Later, she brought her fiercely feminine aesthetic to the masses with a collection for Banana Republic.
The notoriously tall fashion giant was romantically involved with Rolling Stones rock star Mick Jagger. Following her death, many in the fashion world and beyond have been outraged at the characterization of Scott by news outlets only as Jagger's girlfriend. Those mourning the heartbreaking loss of Scott's talent and towering presence in the fashion world stress that she should first and foremost be celebrated for her triumphant success as a designer.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Scott's boyfriend and Rolling Stones singer says Jagger is completely shocked and devastated by the news. The Rolling Stones has canceled the first date of their Australian tour in Perth scheduled for Wednesday. An Australian fan who identifies himself as Malcolm says he sympathizes with the decision to cancel the concert in light of the recent tragedy.
"Obviously, I mean, it's easy for us on the outside to look in and go, 'What a shame, that the concert might not go ahead tomorrow.' But then again on a personal level Mick Jagger has got something that's very personal and, yeah, he's so far away from home that you'd actually want to get back, wouldn't you?"
Scott's untimely passing has left the entertainment industry all around the world in mourning.
Director Ning Ying ready to accept consequences for challenging traditional perspectives
Chinese film director Ning Ying says she was prepared to accept all the consequences of the risks she took in the making of her new film, "Police Diary."
Ning said on Tuesday at the film's premiere in Beijing that some people believe heroes are necessary as role models while others believe there are no true heroes at all. In her new film, she challenged these two contradicting perspectives and attempted to overthrow both opinions.
"This is a great challenge for me. It is already hard to fulfill one of the two perspectives, let alone balance both of them. The film may either be successful or a complete failure. Since I have chosen to overthrow traditional schools of thought, I am ready to accept the consequences."
The film stars Wang Jingchun, who plays a policeman in northern China's Inner Mongolia. Wang received the best actor award at last year's Tokyo International Film Festival for his portrayal of the honest, kind and hard-working policeman.
The screenplay for the film was written by Ning's older sister, Ning Dai. It is adapted from a deceased policeman's diaries and notes on an unsolved case about a family who was murdered at a wedding.
The film will hit Chinese theaters this Friday, March 21st.
Li Daimo arrested for taking drugs
Chinese singer Li Daimo, who rose to fame after he appeared on the smash singing talent show "Voice of China," has been arrested in Beijing for taking drugs.
The municipal police department published a notice on their official Sina Weibo confirming that Li was caught using drugs in the capitol city's downtown area.
Li first attracted widespread attention for his performance of "Wo De Gesheng Li," or, "You Exist In My Song" on "Voice of China."
Chris Brown to stay in jail for possible probation violation
Controversial singer Chris Brown has been ordered to spend another month in jail after he was discharged from his rehabilitation center, thus violating the terms of his probation. Los Angeles Judge James R. Brandlin says Brown was kicked out of rehab after he made some troubling comments.
"I'm particularly troubled that there was a statement that was allegedly made by the defendant during the quote 'morning reflections,' where when reading the card, Mr. Brown chose to add his own words to the card stating that -- quote -- 'I am good at using guns and knives' -- unquote."
Brown was dismissed on Friday from the Malibu rehabilitation facility where he was receiving treatment for anger management, substance abuse and issues related to bipolar disorder.
The Grammy-winning artist has been under court supervision since pleading guilty to the felony assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in an attack hours before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
Judge Brandlin has not indicated any potential penalties he is considering if Brown is indeed found to have violated his probation. His next hearing will be on April 23rd.
