Drunken Master stumbles on his museum quest

Rewind to Chan. On his website the movie star details his vocal preparations for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which falls on Oct 1 and is expected to feature full-scale official celebrations and a military parade through Tian'anmen Square.

As if his musical efforts for the Olympics were not enough (Beijing Welcomes You), the sonorous stuntman has commissioned a song for National Day called Guojia (Country), including prominent artists such as pianist Lang Lang and Mandopop star Wang Leehom.

"The sound of music is a resonance of love, and being able to produce a gift for the country's 60th anniversary is an honor for any Asian," writes Chan, who should lead the parade. We look forward to extended karaoke sessions come the day it is released.

Keeping with our Cantonese theme this week, Mr Hong Kong Contest winners are under the spotlight for their alleged "toy boy" activities, according to the website qq.com.

These "fair-skinned charmers" find so few money-making opportunities after being crowned MRHK they have to resort to being "care bags" (bao yang) for rich, old ladies, earning up to 100,000 yuan ($14,600) for an assignation.

The first MRHK winner in 2007, Matthew Ko, admits being offered financial inducements but insists he refused them.
