		<description><![CDATA[Best known for her roles on the Disney Channel's hit shows, Asian-American actress Brenda Song will star opposite of Zombieland's Jesse Eisenberg in the upcoming movie about Facebook, The Social Network.

In The Social Network, Brenda plays Mark Zuckerberg's  (played by Eisenberg) college and current girlfriend Priscilla Chan. Which I may add, Zuckerberg is amongst the growing list of celebrities and people with Asian girlfriends. I won't go into that whole phenomenon in this post, but take a look at our Yellow Fever post if you get the chance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh my god, it's happening. The first episode of the rumored Asian-American reality show actor/singer Tyrese Gibson is producing has been shot over this weekend in Los Angeles' K-Town.

As reported by ChannelAPA.com, the show will feature 4 guys: Young Lee, Joe Cha, Peter Le, and Steve Kim. Starring opposite will be 4 girls: Jennifer Field, Scarlet Chan, Peter Le, and Jasmine Chang. While based in K-Town, at least from their last names, the group looks to be mixed with both Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean heritage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past few decades, steady progress has been made in one of the last frontiers of Asian American occupation: the entertainment industry.  More recently, things seem to be approaching a tipping point – with Asian comedians boldly leading the way.  Comedy has the unique ability to bring audiences across racial barriers to come together and is the first genre to experience breakthroughs.  Asian comedians are beginning to get more leading and supporting roles in Hollywood, with increasing diversity in characters.  The internet has been crucial in the discovery and dissemination of new Asian comics, allowing some to cater entirely to Asian audiences and sustain a career.  The Asian comedians on this list range from the goofy, to the nerdy, to the intelligent and everything in between.  Some play to the mainstream, others to ethnic niches or both.  But they all have one thing in common: in an Asian American entertainment scene where the odds are stacked against you, the following ten comics have left their mark.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I review the large number of dating/bride-services advertisers that continue to target this site, I can't help but think that this growing list of advertisers is only indicative of the overall growth in Yellow Fever amongst Americans. Everyone is going after Asian women these days. As an Asian male, sure, I noticed a disparaging amount of white guys that date Asian girls.

But I never actually took the time to think about which way causality was for this phenomenon. Is it that white guys like to pursue Asian girls? Or is it Asian girls that like to pursue white guys. Obviously with the coining of Yellow Fever as a commonly accepted phrase to describe the former, I actually think we should revisit this assumption.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After nearly 7-years of living in the shadow of William Hung, Taiwanese YouTube sensation Lin Yu Chun may finally put a mild dent in people's impressions when "Asian Person" and "American Idol" comes to mind. Well maybe not. But like how Susan Boyle took the UK and Internet by storm last year, Lin Yu Chun is doing the same in Asia. His YouTube video(s) has amassed over 7 million views already and if you haven't watched it yet, scroll down and check it out!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After MTV went 24-seasons without casting a single Asian-American male on The Real World, Asian-Americans may finally get a piece of the limelight on a show not-named Americas Next Best Dance Crew on MTV.

Nothing's official and nothings final, but Tyrese Gibson is apparently co-producing and casting "interesting, attractive, colorful Asian-Americans to cast in a reality show similar to Jersey Shore, Real World, and The Hills."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, an entertaining chain Facebook status movement has managed to grab my attention. Instead of the usual "support-this-cause-that-only-assholes-would-be-against" and the random spam (thanks a lot Mob Wars) I usually find on my friend feed, this week is:

    Doppelgänger week on Facebook; change your profile picture to some one famous (actor, musician, athlete, etc.) you have been told you look like. After you update your profile with your twin or switched at birth photo then cut/paste this to your status.

To see who my friends think they look like has been a real delight. Of course the self-annointed resemblances ranges from the eerily similar to totally self-flattering variety, I noticed that very few of my Asian friends are partaking in the fun.]]></description>

But there&#8217;s something going on with this summer&#8217;s lineup. This summer perhaps features the most Asian American actors and characters from any lineup before. Pixar&#8217;s Up, Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek, and G.I. Joe to [...]]]></description>
