Mariah Carey's Terrible Gig at Workers' Stadium, Cui Jian's First Movie Hits Theaters Oct 17

Well, Mariah Carey had kind of an unfortunate gig at the Workers' Stadium last weekend. It was reported that the venue was only 40 percent full. This was her second appearance in China, the last being in Shanghai in 2003.

Even though the gig was plagued by bad attendance, terrible air conditions, and a decline in her famous singing abilities, she wowed the crowds with her revealing fashions and some sexy poise on her stage bed. This just goes to prove that nothing lasts forever, but absolute confidence will get you everything/everywhere.

It is known that Cui Jian is China's godfather of rock, but did you know that he has just added a couple more notches in his belt by also becoming a filmmaker and screenwriter?

The movie Blue Sky Bones made its Beijing premiere on October 14. This directorial debut, tells the story of the Cultural Revolution through the eyes of a former rocker and examines the crimes committed during these turbulent times. The film will be released in theaters this Friday (Oct 17).
