KEN JEONG IN AUGUST 2011 ISSUE OF "GQ"


Ken Jeong in August 2011 issue of GQ
I love that crazy Asian!  Ken Jeong photobombs some positively sexy Photos on the August 2011 issue of GQ - photos by Peggy Sirota. Brilliant!  Although I've had a fair share of Photobombs in my photos with Celebs, I certainly would not mind an unwelcome visit from the scene-stealing star of The Hangover.

The Funnyman will be in Montreal next week to receive an Award for Best Breakout Comedy Star at the Just for Laughs Comedy Conference.

THE HANGOVER PART II - MOVIE REVIEW


Still from The Hangover Part II
Of course it’s implausible and ridiculous! Why else would you watch it? Director/Writer Todd Phillips builds upon the massive success of 2009’s The Hangover but this time, takes the antics to the exotic locale to Bangkok. Instead of Doug (Justin Bartha) getting married, the Bachelor-to-be now is Stu (Ed Helms). Joined by original members of the Wolf Pack alumni - Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) – plus soon-to-be Brother in Law Teddy (Mason Lee - son of Ang), Stu governs the festivities with the iron fist. No alcohol. What should ensue then is some good, clean fun right? At least he meant well…

The Wolf Pack, minus Doug, wake up in a seedy Motel somewhere in Bangkok after a tame night on the Beach, unable to recall the series of events of the evening prior. Missing however is Teddy, fuelling the dilemma as he struggles already to gain acceptance from Fiancé Lauren’s (Jamie Chung) traditional Father. And just as things couldn’t get any worse, out of nowhere resurfaces Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), the animated Chinese Hustler with a penchant for Drugs, Urban Slang and living on the edge. Involved in a crucial illicit business transaction, he implicates the Wolf Pack by association, drawing unwanted attention to them from some dangerous Mobsters who are hot on Chow’s trails. One unfortunate event right after the other, we fear whether or not the Wolf Pack will be able to make it out of Bangkok alive, let alone the Altar.

Phillips really pulls out all the stops this time around to make The Hangover Part II that much more jaw-dropping than its predecessor.  An unforgettable joke about Shiitake Mushrooms to a daring reveal involving Trans-gendered Strippers will have you gasping in disbelief. Phillips manages to add in a few more complex twists and turns into his original mix of Shock-Comedy and although this might come at the expense of logic, the laugh factor by no means is sacrificed at all in this Sequel.

INTERVIEW: BRADLEY COOPER ON "THE HANGOVER PART II"


Bradley Cooper & Mr. Will-W.
"So was the Sequel disappointing?" is the first thing he said to me as he walked into the Interview Suite of this Yorkville Hotel. It was a long day of Press, following another busy day of promotion yesterday in Philadelphia. Toronto is just another stopoff on an aggressive Promo Tour which will be taking much of his time over the next two weeks. Catching me off-guard completely before a small table of Journalists, it took me a second to realize what he was up to. "I loved The Hangover, so yeah - big shoes, Bradley!", I chuckled back at him.

Casual and comfortable in a knit French Sailor Sweater and a pair of dark blue Jeans, Bradley Cooper lights-up the room with his translucent blue eyes - his hair a few shades darker than I'd imagined and a bit of scruff on his boyish face. "Where'd you get it?" I commented on his Sweater, to which he replied "Uh, to be honest I actually don't know!". Clearly, his no-fuss look is the work of a great Stylist. Ask him about  his Fashions, he doesn't know.  Ask him about this eagerly-awaited Comedy The Hangover Part II he's promoting? Now, that's something he can go on about in an articulate manner that indicates Cooper actually is a much more well-trained Actor than some of his earlier repertoire might suggest.

Make no mistake about it, Bradley Cooper is a bona fide Leading Man.  Over the past three years we've seen him fire one Box Office-topper right after the other. He's Just Not That Into You, Valentine's Day, The A-Team, Limitless and of course 2009's massively successful Golden Globe winner The Hangover, the predecessor to the Movie he is here to promote today.

KEN JEONG OF "THE HANGOVER" IN PEPTO BISMOL COMMERCIAL


Ken Jeong in Pepto Bismol Ad
Actor/Comedian Ken Jeong might be known best for his memorable role as a Chinese mobster in The Hangover, but he seems to have carved his own quirky niche. Pepto Bismol has had some memorable advertising campaigns over the years, poking fun at Heartburn and Diarrhea for which it relieves. For their Holiday campaign, they've enlisted the services of Jeong who just shines in this television spot as a sassy observer at the Party.  I'd die a gaseous death to make him show up at my  Holiday Party!

BILL CLINTON FILMS CAMEO FOR "THE HANGOVER: PART II"


Bill Clinton
Too amazing for words! Former U.S. President Elect Bill Clinton was spotted in Bangkok this past Saturday filming a Cameo for upcoming The Hangover: Part II from Director Todd Phillips.  My favourite U.S. President! 

The Sequel sees the boys Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha and Ed Helms getting kidnapped this time around, although there are no further details about its Plot at this time. Other stars to sign on include Liam Neeson and Paul Giamatti, while Mike Tyson and Ken Jeong also will be reprising their roles.

The film will hit theatres the weekend of Memorial Day (May 30, 2011), which seems a tad rushed, doesn't it?
