Jackie Chan Sends a Green Message to Fans

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:19:42 +0000

Jackie Chan is so intent on saving the Earth, he lives the message he gives to fans. Jackie washes his own underwear and socks in hotel rooms when he travels. He told this to Ellen DeGeneres on her show, but she thought he was only being funny. He was serious.

Jackie doesn’t use disposable toiletries, and insists on finishing a bar of soap once used. Jackie said:

"I usually stay in the presidential suite whenever I travel; however I will wash my own undergarments and socks everyday when I return to my room. I will also inform the chamber maids that they do not have to change my bed sheets and towels everyday," he said.

Chan was in Singapore last week for a go-green initiative. He took the chance to share his ways of saving the environment.

"Some people dispose the toothbrush and soap after using once or twice. It’s a waste. My habit is that once I un-wrap the soap which the hotels provide, I will carry it along with me until I finish using it. As long as items are provided free of charge, everyone will just use as much as they can; I always tell the hotel staffs, they should consider charging people for the items they use, so that they will think twice before using," he added.

To save water, Chan says the production team and stuntmen will visit the washroom together and get in queue. "The last one flushes!" he laughed.

Also, whenever he has a concert, he will remind the audience to take away their water bottles at the end of the concert. "Artistes make their appeal and the audience usually will respond to the call. That is the power of celebrities," Chan said.

Jackie sets a good example. We should all make some small changes in our lives to conserve.

Jackie Chan’s (54) Web site says construction has begun on a museum for the action movie star in the Chinese financial capital Shanghai.

The museum will house props and costumes from Chan’s movies, photos and other memorabilia, the Web site said. Construction is scheduled to finish in October 2009.

Jet Li should get his own museum too, and of course Bruce Lee.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li attended the premier of the first movie the two Kung Fu experts have ever collaborated on, The Forbidden Kingdom, which starts playing April 18. I’ve already got my tickets. Chan and Li were in Beijing, China Wednesday for the event. Li even brought his daughtger Jane Li.

In a recent interview Li said he and Chan would not work together again, but that Li and Chan’s son, whom he met recently, might work together.

Jackie Chan did an interview with Ellen, and he was the best guest ever. Jackie is so funny. I loved the part about his washing his underwear. Priceless, and so Jackie.

Jackie Chan’s Father Dies

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:55:32 +0000

Fang Dao-long, aka Charles Chan, celebrated his 93rd birthday with son Jackie Chan, and grandson Jaycee Chan, on 15 December 2007, Hong Kong. Fang passed away on 25 February 2008 with Jaycee at his bedside. Unfortunately Jackie was working in Beijing at the time of Fang’s death.

The family plan to take Fang’s body back to his home in Australia, where he will be buried with his wife and Jackie will be flying directly to Australia to complete his filial duties.

Jackie’s assistant Ken Lo said that Jackie has completed his filming work in Beijing now, so he will have time to mourn his father and make the funeral arrangements.

Edison Chen and Maggie Q Now Linked in Scandal

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:59:45 +0000

If you haven’t heard already, the Edison Chen naughty picture scandal in Hong Kong is even bigger than Britney Spears. Edison Chen took his laptop in for repair, but didn’t bother to first remove intimate pictures he took of himself and his former girlfriends. Even Maggie Q, one of Edison’s former girlfriends, has been implicated. According to Chinese culture a celebrity involved in such scandals may have their career ruined. Even Jackie Chan is afraid to discuss this scandal. A lot of people are blaming Edison, but all the girls were willing participants, and they put on a good show for his camera, so they aren’t so innocent. It is because of this scandal that Hollywood Grind news has been so slow. We have the 1,300 pictures that were on Edison’s laptop of him, and all his celebrity girlfriends, and after putting them up our site was crushed by the traffic, so we took them down temporarily and left a few dozen pictures for you to see, but they will all be back up later this week. Click here to find out the latest on this HUGE scandal.

Jackie Chan sloshed On-Stage

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:30:49 +0000

Jackie Chan disrupted a concert by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jonathan Lee and exchanged insults with the audience, a news report said Tuesday.

Ming Pao Daily News quoted the 52-year-old action star as saying onstage that he was drunk.

Chan suddenly jumped on the stage Monday night and demanded a duet with Lee. He then tried to conduct the band but stopped and restarted the music several times, the newspaper reported.

As the awkward interruption dragged on, audience members started to heckle Chan, who replied with an insult, according to the report.

A spokesman for Chan, Solon So, said he hadn’t seen Chan since the alleged incident and had no immediate comment. He said he didn’t attend the concert.

Concert organizers didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

Chan, whose Hollywood credits include the “Rush Hour” series and “The Tuxedo,” was an invited performing guest at Lee’s show Sunday night.

A word in support of Jackie Chan. Chan donates a lot of money to people in need, and recently said he will donate a portion of his total wealth to charity. I don’t think Chan is anything like the Hoff. What Chan did however, was inappropriate, and I hope he learned from this mistake.

Angelina Jolie Back to Work in Kung Fu Panda

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 16:20:37 +0000

DreamWorks Animation announced today that Angelina Jolie will join Jack Black, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Dustin Hoffman, and Ian McShane in the cast of the computer-animated comedy Kung Fu Panda. The film will reunite Jolie and Black after having voiced lead characters together in the hit 2004 animated comedy, Shark Tale.

Jolie will play Tigress, a martial arts master who joins in training Blackâ€™s Po the Panda in the art of kung fu. Kung Fu Panda features Jack Black as Po the Panda, a lowly waiter in a noodle restaurant, who is a kung fu fanatic but whose shape doesnâ€™t exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting. In fact, Poâ€™s defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. Thatâ€™s a problem because powerful enemies are at the gates, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the “Chosen One” to save the day. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before itâ€™s too late.

Slated for release in May 2008, Kung Fu Panda is being directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne and produced by Melissa Cobb.
