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.

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 Black’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 doesn’t exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting. In fact, Po’s defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. That’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 it’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.
