Chi-ling out at Overtime

GEORGE TOWN: Taiwanese supermodel, Lin Chi-ling will grace the opening of Overtime, the new entertainment outlet at Auto-City in Seberang Prai, tomorrow. Guests will also have the opportunity to taste the fresh German beers "Prost" and "Starker Beer". The Overtime chain of restaurant-bars is currently expanding into the northern region of Malaysia. Overtime has outlets in KL Life Centre, Sunway Giza (Kota Damansara), IOI Boulevard (Puchong), Tropicana City Mall (Petaling Jaya), Mont Kiara (Kuala Lumpur), Bukit Tinggi (Klang) and Singapore. Starker beer is the first fresh beer to be produced in Malaysia with the help of master brewer Tim O'Rourke. It is delivered daily to Overtime from the brewery to ensure optimum freshness. Starker Beer won two gold medals at the recent Singapore Beerfest. On top of its regular menu items, Overtime is introducing 33 "fusion skewers" with choices of poultry, seafood, fish, beef, pork and even vegetables. It a

Lin Chi-ling looking for love. Any offers Jerry Yan?

Supermodel Lin Chi-ling (林志玲) is open to offers. She told reporters at a commercial event in Taichung on Thursday that all she wants for Christmas is a boyfriend. This suggests that her proposed marriage to toilet maker Scott Qiu (邱士楷) is off and the heir to the HCG Corporation (和成集團) is no longer her lover. The timing of Chi-ling’s statement is interesting because the 36-year-old belle’s ex, actor Jerry Yan (言承旭), has publicly declared he still has feelings for her. He has blamed himself for their breakup on various occasions and on a recent variety show was in tears when talking about her. Reporters on Thursday showed Chi-ling the video clip of Jerry breaking down on the show, and the model’s reaction was wide-eyed. She commented that Jerry has both “sense and sensibility” and added the pair were still communicating by SMS. Source: QQ.com Categories: News Star-Wiki: Taichung: Dec 24 2010

But the 36-year-old star of movies like Red Cliff and The Treasure Hunter was coy when The New Paper asked her about it. “I was only informed (about it) by the media. I actually don’t know about it,” she said sweetly in English. “(The amount) is probably not correct.” Is it perhaps 80 per cent correct,weasked. Hmm,she paused. “I cannot give you the exact numbers now, but it’s not correct.” She added cordially: “(What I earned) is a secret.” The leggy beauty was in town last week for the opening of entertainment outlet OverTime at Dempsey Hill. The Malaysian chain has also opened another outlet at Holland Village. Lin’s reluctance to confirm the report on her earnings could have something to do with her tax case, which she said has not been resolved yet. I

Mother Urges Lin Chiling to Get Married on Her 36th Birthday

Taiwan's top model, Lin Chi-ling celebrated her 36th birthday yesterday. It has been a rollercoaster year for Chi-Ling. She had faced cases of outstanding health insurance payments and poor ratings for her Japanese drama, Moon Lovers, starring opposite Takuya Kimura but was lucky to have gone through them safely. Even her case of owing tax payments received positive feedback from the Ministry of Finance. Chi-ling's mother was worried about her daughter's heavy workload and wanted her to rest. "No matter how busy she is, she would help me with the cooking and housework when she returns home. I'm fortunate to have my daughter."
