VIET ACCÉNT

With the next Miss Vietnam Global scheduled for July 5, 2008, the show continues to get free press. After former Miss Vietnam Global winner Linda Vi Trâm Nguyễn speaks that the show itself is a scam , no surprise here. While questions about the show’s validity, and integrity continue to be talk about, Vietnamese girls everywhere dive into this pit hole without any hesitation, for moments of fame, money, and false hope. And the scandal continues, when documents leak on the Internet forums about the possible “secret” marriage of Linda Vi Trâm Nguyễn, which would be against the rules of Miss Vietnam Global that states contestants should not have any current, or previous marriage. Could this be a counter attack against Linda Vi Trâm Nguyễn to say that her title was unrightfully in the first place, so she doesn’t deserve the prize money? This news is not good for both parties, and especially is bad for Miss Vietnam Global organization, since the show it

Designer Thái Nguyễn , known for his work on Thúy Nga Paris By Night and Asia Entertainment . But is his creativity talent, perhaps even a mere coincident, or did get his inspiration elsewhere? It seems that it is not the first time the young designer copied from Gaultier Paris or any other famous designers. If such is the case, it is a sad thing for Vietnamese community in the U.S. and also for him as well.

Does anyone like Nguyễn Hồng Nhung , any thoughts on her singing? She surely has a good voice. Also I thought Nguyễn Hồng Nhung looks very Chinese. She was once at the center of a sex scandal involving a leak sex tape of her and ex boyfriend. He wanted to seek revenge on her, and so he let out a 10 minutes tape.

Singer Gia Huy will have his 35th birthday party Friday, August 22nd at Majestic ballroom. The party will be the liveliest with a music show with his colleagues- singers from in and out of the country. 5 years ago on his big 30th birthday, over 500 guests attended at Bleu ballroom. This year after gaining much love and support from temples in the U.S. during "Phật Đản" (Vaisakha) celebration, (celebrating the birth of the Buddha), and also winning two religious CDs, Đạo gồm Mẹ Là Phật and Vầng Trăng Phật Đản made him extremely joyful. Thus setting the singer in the mood for a big celebration, gathering up close friends and family.

It is nice to see Ngọc Huyền 's daughter Hà Tiên on the DVD, very cute. The last I saw were much younger pictures of Hà Tiên . She looks much older on the DVD cover. Câu Hát Tình Quê 1.

I like Y Phụng when she was in Vietnam. I saw many of her movies, and comedy acts. As a singer I thought she was ok. But in Asia , they arrange for her to singer much older types of music, and so it is a bit of a turn off for me. She's pretty. The CD cover looks great. Asia really makes Thúy Nga appears as amateur. Thúy Nga's CD covers are getting worse, and it looks like they don't even put much effort into it. Rather, they just want to make money as quickly by releasing one CD after another. Sighs... 1.

Name: Y Phương Real Name: Nguyễn Minh Phương Birthplace: Saigon Birthday: August 28 Hobbies: like to live a mysterious life, eat well, find rare and unusual food, and of course shopping Dislikes: losing prestige, and sleeping without wanting to wake up, lying around on the bed Favorite Number: 8 Favorite Flower: Velvety rose Favorite Colors: white, light pink, and blue Favorite Song: “Nửa Hồn Thương Đau” Favorite Food: Canh Bun with water spinach (Rau Muong) Favorite Artists: Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Ngoc Lan Website: http://www.yphuong.com/ My Thoughts: Well, Y Phương is not a favorite singer of mine. I did not like her when I first saw her. I thought she was blah. I also did not like most of her renditions of songs on Asia. As for her voice, it is not the best. At times, it is too high, and unsmooth. My sisters, especially, dislike her for how she looks. I have not much against her I guess, since I don’t watch her performances. She h

I gotta comment on the CD cover. Quỳnh Vi looks great, while Trịnh Lam is a shadow to her greatness. The blending of two is just not good. Quỳnh Vi owns the cover, it belongs solely to her. Also I don't like the font on the left side. Whoever designed this cover... hopefully is not the same person who did Trinh Lam's CD as well, which was horrible. 1.

Tommy Ngô & Lynda Trang Đài son's name is Neo Bảo Ngô born in 2004. He is 4 this year. Take a look at the photos below. By the way, it is nice to see that the birthday is not too fancy, and seems to be very down to earth, relaxing. A younger looking Neo on his earlier birthday. Who do you think he looks more like, his mom, dad or a mixture of both?
