Kristin Kreuk to star in new Street Fighter Movie
Report by Rondillo on the 9th May 2008 at 05:02 PM


Smallville's leading lady, Kristin Kreuk, will be starring as Chun-Li in the Street Fighter spin-off "Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li". Street Fighter is a popular video game franchise which has already made a movie and a cartoon show in the past. Hopefully this Chun-Li spin-off and Kristin Kreuk's charm will be a bigger success than it's predecessors.

Also rumored in the movie is Moon Bloodgood, the hot woman from Journeyman. ^_^ it's just a rumor though. When more information is available, I will update this thread. Until then, go play Street Fighter as Chun-Li to warm up.

Song Hye Kyo Natural Beauty Being Disputed

Recently, many picture of Song Hye Kyo have been posted on numerous Korean websites of before and after plastic surgery photos that lead to countless discussion among netizens.

Many netizens proclaimed after seeing the pictures, "Never would have believed that Song Hae Gyo would have gone for plastic surgery." Others commented, "Really a surprise to learn of this, but the evidence is clear, still can't believe that she went for plastic."

As everyone might have known, plastic surgery have become a trend in Korea that many numerous other celebrities have done plastic surgery to make themselves "prettier".

For comparison, here's a picture of her days back in high school:


Do you believe she has done plastic surgery?

- - - - - - - - - - -

To my opinion, it not even a surprise when it comes to celebrity getting plastic celebrity. As for the word "plastic surgery" it comes in different meaning so it all based on the person's perspective of it. Some might say he/she is fake but like we all, we pay BIG $$$ for the price of beauty. It's true. In comparison, we buy beauty products more often than we need for food and shelter. Why?

Here are some factors:
1- It might help the person built up more self-confident in themselves more (i.e. being more social with people).
2- When it concerns about a person's health, it might be a good deed to do so.
3- If you have the money to make yourself prettier, why not?

There will ALWAYS be pros and cons regarding plastic surgery but surely to my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it!
