Vietnamese models becoming sex symbols abroad

Elly Tran
Two Vietnamese models, one of them just 12, are generating a lot of online buzz in China and South Korea for their voluptuous bodies.
Famous at home for her busty looks, 23-year-old Elly Tran was born in Ho Chi Minh City to a Vietnamese father and Chinese mother. Last year she did a photo shoot for sports magazine Sports Korea, posing in underwear and showing a lot of skin.
“She looks so sexy,” commented a Chinese on newswire Sohu which carried a photo of Elly in a milk white bikini.

“Her face is so cute,” wrote another.
The Chinese online community seems to love her and last year voted her as the second sexiest girl in China.
In China, Elly has signed a contract with a big online gaming company to endorse one of its games. She has also been invited to act in a Thai film.
For the moment, however, she is busy shooting for Vietnam’s first 3D movie, “Bong Ma Hoc Duong” (School Ghosts).
But it is not as if she is universally admired.
Vietnamese newswire 24h described her as “lazy in working and thinking and just looking for fame.”
“There is nothing beautiful or elegant about showing one’s breasts for others to see and take photos,” it said scathingly.

12-year-old model
Le Hoang Bao Tran, 12, who not only appears in teen magazines but also in many Vietnamese newspapers and fashion journals, has also become an internet sensation.
China’s ezinemark newswire described her as having a “mature, charming body,” “stunning beauty,” and an “angelic face.”
Le Hoang Bao Tran
Tran won the Teen Model pageant last year and has been a professional model since.
Probably the youngest model in Vietnam, Tran, who is slightly taller than Elly at 1.72m, is also very popular in China.
On Chinese websites and forums like 163, members write to seek more information about her.
Chinasmack describes Tran as a “professional model” and being “popular on the internet.”
“Her sweet looks and innocent smiles have won the hearts of countless surfers.”
One such netizen wrote: “Look, this bosom, these legs, this waist, this butt, is she really 12-years-old? I can’t help myself, makes me want to commit a crime.”
“This is clearly more like 20 years old. Too frightening… A 12-year-old should be more innocent,” another said.
“If this girl is really only 12 years old, under Chinese law she cannot be a professional model,” a third commented.
“Not letting her go to school is extremely inhumane.”
Tran goes to Dai Doan Ket Secondary School in HCMC.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Punched by Photographer After Dinner at Buckhingham Palace

Los Angeles, Feb 26 – A good morning never comes with a good after-noon; this is true for Catherine Zeta-Jones. Her day began with a knighting ceremony at the Buckhingham Palace but Hollywood beauty Catherine Zeta Jones was allegedly punched in the face by a photographer by the end of it.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and her 66-year-old husband Michael Douglas entangled in the brawl as they coming back to their hotel after a dinner to celebrate the honour of Commander of the Order of the British Empire, granted on her by Prince Charles earlier that day, reported by media.

The mess started when the stars came out of their car at their hotel and had to struggle their way through a crowd of snappers waiting at the doorway to their residence.

In video footage of the brawl, Zeta-Jones can be heard shouting, "How dare you punch me!" at an overzealous photographer as they enter the hotel lobby.

"I want a police officer right now. He punched me! The guy coming in here, he punched me!" the actress is heard as saying in the footage.

Douglas rushed to his wife's defence by grabbing the photographer and pushing him as hotel security rushed to separate the two men.

Miss Colorado USA 2011 Blair Griffith is homeless, jobless next month


The 23-year-old and her mother were evicted from their home last November — a month after winning the pageant — and have been homeless since, Colorado’s 9News reports. They’re staying with a family friend after a series of setbacks, including her mother’s heart attack and major surgery that caused financial troubles.
What’s more, Griffith, a magna cum laude graduate of the Art Institute of Colorado, will be out of a job next month. She works at Saks Fifth Avenue, and her store is closing. Still, she keeps herself collected.
“I hope people will see this and realize, ‘Wow, she is a real person,’ or ‘Hey, I didn’t think there was someone out there going through something similar to me,” said Griffith.
It was her father who encouraged Griffith to take a shot at beauty pageants when she was younger. His early death from pancreatic cancer encouraged her to enter the Miss Colorado Teen USA. After much persistence, she paved the road for her future success by winning on her fourth try.
Griffith plans to compete in the Miss USA competition in June.
