#SHOWBIZ: F4 makes surprise reunion at Mayday concert, delighting fans
TAIPEI: Concert-goers at Taiwanese rock band Mayday's recent show received a surprise bonus: an appearance by the iconic group F4, who performed their most famous hit, 'Meteor Rain'. Taiwanese news outlet ET Today reported yesterday that Mayday's concert at the Taipei Arena last Saturday marked F4's first reunion in 12 years. Over 40,000 fans were treated to this unexpected performance. The last time all F4 members had appeared together was at China's 2013 Spring Festival Gala. Mayday had reportedly tried to invite the group as guests two years prior, but their busy schedules had prevented it. Besides 'Meteor Rain', F4 and Mayday also performed Mayday's track, 'The Song Of Laughter And Forgetting'. Following the overwhelming response from delighted fans on social media, there's speculation about a possible future F4 concert. Perhaps the group members will now be motivated to make it happen. F4, comprising Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu, Ken Chu, and Vic Chou, was a boyband formed by the lead actors of the hugely popular Taiwanese TV drama series 'Meteor Garden'. The show also helped launch the career of the late Barbie Hsu. 'Meteor Garden' was a massive hit across Asia and heralded the beginning of the idol drama phenomenon.

#SHOWBIZ: Cannes Film Festival: Zhao Yingzi ejected for 'overtly sexy' dress
CANNES: Chinese actress Zhao Yingzi was recently ejected from the red carpet of the 78th Cannes Film Festival in France by event organisers due to her overly revealing attire. According to a report by ET Today, Zhao's dress was deemed a violation of the official dress code established by the Cannes Film Festival organisers. A viral photo shows Yingzi in a semi-transparent silver gown that seemingly exposes much of her body, including her chest and midriff, with only sparse embellishments providing minimal coverage. The festival organisers are known to enforce strict rules regarding guest appearances. "Full-body exposure is not permitted at red carpet events. The organisers reserve the right to deny entry to anyone who does not comply with the rules," stated the organisers of the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Previously, the organisers had reportedly issued a reminder on their official website, urging guests to maintain modesty in their appearance throughout the entire festival area, not just on the red carpet. The announcement specifically prohibited "flashy" clothing that could disrupt the comfort and movement of other attendees. Consequently, most guests opted for more modest and conservative attire compared to previous editions, demonstrating respect for the newly introduced regulations. The 78th Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to take place from May 13 to 24.

Chinese actress Zhao Yingzi whisked away from 2025 Cannes red carpet over dress code drama; fans think she lingered too long
Chinese actress Zhao Yingzi unintentionally stole the spotlight at the ongoing 78th Cannes Film Festival, but not for a movie premiere or a viral glam shot.

According to Korean outlet Chosun Biz (via Chinese media ET Today), Zhao Yingzi attended the Cannes opening ceremony on May 14 (local time) in a silver sheer ensemble that turned heads. While organisers reportedly asked her to leave the red carpet due to the outfit's revealing nature, fans argue the look wasn't out of place and suspect there may have been other reasons behind her removal.

The outfit featured a sheer bodice adorned with symmetrical crystal and rhinestone appliqués resembling chandelier jewellery, extending from the chest to the waist. Though parts of the design created a nude illusion, the detailing was layered over a sheer fabric that maintained coverage. The bottom part of the outfit featured a high-slit skirt piece made of mesh or chainmail-like silver fabric, densely covered in rhinestones or sequins. It hugs the body and continues the shimmering theme, catching the light beautifully. It also contained a draped silver hooded cape made from a metallic, light-reflective fabric that cascades over the shoulders, giving the actress a divine appearance.
