Featuring real-life couple Gao Yuanyuan and Mark Zhao in addition to a supporting cast of Yao Chen,  Wang Luodan and Wang Xuexin ,  director Chen Kaige's latest  film "Caught in the Web"   revolves around a young secretary whose presumed thoughtless behavior on a bus is recorded by a cell phone, goes viral on the web and mushrooms into a national firestorm.

"We are more connected than ever, but ironically more detached from one another," Chen said. "On the web, people create their own interpretations of reality that take on a life of their own, becoming more important than the truth. In a sense, we're in the middle of a new Cultural Revolution: society now values perception over reality."

China's biggest microblogging service has introduced a code of conduct explicitly restricting the type of messages that can be posted.

Weibo - which resembles Twitter - took the action after local authorities criticised "unfounded" rumours posted by some users.

Reports suggest a credit score system will also be introduced with points deducted for rule breaches.

Repeat offenders face having their accounts deleted.

The service's parent, Sina Corp, says it has more than 300 million registered users.

Hong Kong director John Woo (吴宇森) has temporarily put aside his busy filming schedules to treat his illness in the US.

As to his health issue, however, there are several explanations doing the rounds.

The most shocking one claims he suffers from laryngeal cancer and has been hospitalized for four months.

Some rumors suggest something is wrong with his heart, while others said he has to undergo pancreas surgery in the US.

If his treatment goes smoothly, the 66-year-old is expected to make a comeback at the end of this year, at the earliest.

Hopefully it's not as serious as they say...

The two met when shooting a TV commercial

Pop singer Show Luo (羅志祥) always insists he’s single and available, but actually he’s just broken up with Tia Li (李毓芬).

In response, the devastated Tia drowned in grief and booze at her birthday party on May 11.

The couple’s affair was exposed three years ago when Tia was seen leaving Show’s apartment.

They then turned low-profile to hide their relationship from public attention.

When Show promoted his album in Japan last month, Tia went along. The two held hands when shopping on the street.

After they returned, Tia said she hoped Show could spend more time with her.

Show flatly told her that his mom is always No. 1, then his business, and his girlfriend would always be in No. 3 position.

If you can’t accept it, Show reportedly said, “I hope there’s someone better able to take care of you.”
