The very elegant Lin Chi-ling

TAIWANESE model-actress Lin Chiling is always a picture of grace. Even when she wants to tell you off, she can do it in the most elegant manner. If a man is late for a date, for instance, the 36-year-old said she will gracefully lift her hand and casually flash her watch to remind him that he is late. No row, no questioning needed. Clad in a stylish ruffled dress by local celebrity designer Keith Png, Lin made a brief stopover in Singapore as the ambassador of elegance for luxury watch brand Longines. The Swiss watchmaker opened its latest boutique here at Marina Bay Sands. Also at the opening were its president Walter von Kanel and his wife. This is the fifth year running that Lin is working with the brand. Earlier in July, she shot a TV commercial in Rome with fellow brand ambassadors, British actress Kate Winslet and Indian actress Aishwarya Rai.

Lin Chi-ling opens on relationship with Jerry Yan for the first time

Top Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling breaks down on variety show Lin Chi-ling reveals her feelings for Jerry Yan for the first time on Saturday. The top model, who has always been very low-key when it comes to relationships, revealed her desire to be loved and how she's filled with regrets on a variety show in China. When the host read out a love memoir written by Jerry after his break-up with Chi-ling, the 35-year-old started to tear uncontrollably on the spot. Recording had to be paused while the host comforted the model. Little was known about this very private couple, whether before or after they parted ways. But Jerry did reveal in a talk show some time back that the 1.74m tall model was someone worth treasuring and gave his blessings as well, shedding some light on their shared past. http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/celebrity/buzz/asia/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4418901&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

I believe at that time, they were in love secretely, despite her mother's disapproval of their relationship. Its not only from being understanding to openly keep Jerry single from her side (since he was trying to expand his carreer all over Asia that time; and everyone knows being single is the easiest way to get into fans) but also from the pressure her mother gave. Her tears in this video showed so much regret but she has always been a good daughter obeying her mother. Jerry understands it. "The prince ran to her hospital bed, but did not know which way to hug her will not cause her pain (due to her medical condition), he only could knee down and cry out next to her, while the princess's tears drop off" He further sated that "The prince did not know why its so painful when two people truely in love attempt to hug" the hosts were asking about the love story between her and Jerry (F4) and quoted from his book stating the incident of Chiling fall...

Supermodel Lin Chiling ordered to pay NT$6.84m in tax case

Supermodel Lin Chiling ordered to pay NT$6.84m in tax case Posted: 08 October 2010 1303 hrs TAIPEI: Taiwan model-actress Lin Chiling has been ordered to pay NT$6.84 million (S$290,000) in taxes owed after losing a lawsuit brought against her by Taiwan tax authorities on Thursday, reported Taiwan media. Taiwan tax authorities previously found that the supermodel, who makes about NT$70 million (S$2.9 million) annually, had paid NT$6.84 million less tax than she was supposed to between 2003 and 2005. Lin had argued that her income should be seen as "Professional Practice Income" and that a portion of her costs can be deducted before tax is levied on the remainder. However, taxation officers believed that her income should still be seen as "Earned Income", which meant Lin was entitled to a much more modest tax deduction. The courts eventually ruled against Lin. The tax authorities had initially wanted to fine Lin an additional NT$1.35 million (S$57,000) for...

Patty Hou loses out to Lin Chiling

For celebrities, wearing similar clothes can be a boon or a bane depending on how well they carry it off. In Patty Hou's case, perhaps she should have chosen a different dress: she wore a Vivienne Westwood low-cut dress which supermodel Lin Chiling had wore one year ago. Chiling last wore the dress during a screening of Red Cliff 2 in Japan a year ago, while Patty wore it in a recent product endorsement event. And if wearing an outdated dress is not embarrassing enough, reporters even caught sight of Patty's bulging tummy in that dress, leading to speculations that the Taiwanese host is now expecting. Chi-ling has just finished up filming the Japanese drama Moon Lovers with Takuya Kimura and is currently taking a break in China. She even brought along her entire family from Taiwan in case the local paparazzi give them trouble. According to reports, Chiling now has multiple product endorsements on hand and talks are underway for more product endorsements from Japan. Chiling was ...

Yes to Lin Chiling, no to Lady Gaga

NO doubt Lady Gaga is now the world's hottest pop sensation, but she may not be every man's dream girl. For one, Ian Chen, the leader of Taiwanese rock trio F.I.R., said the Grammy winner is way too bold, dramatic and over-the-top for him.

The drama's producer, Fuji Television, was reportedly so disappointed that it intends to cut short the show's run to eight episodes instead of the usual ten for a drama in the 9...
