# 3

# 6

Gold Digger @ 01/08/2008 at 2:39 pm

Totally agreed with #3, being an asian woman, i must say that the majority of them are “gold digger”, thats so gross….its like Nic Cage or Woody Allen and his wife… can’t stand them…..so disgusting!!!!

# 8

She looks awesome. HOT outfit!

# 9

i love that you put her up. i think she is way prettier than lucy liu, no offense. her boyfriends actually pretty cute. put more of her up!

Lily, in general, asian woman prefers an older guy. Depending on what part of country a person is from, from five and above is preferable. My guess is that it is due to having different culture compared to western. In most parts of asia, a woman ususally looks for a depenable type who is mature and family oriented.

Gong Li is a much better actress

thanks #10. you actually reminded me of a conversation i had with my chinese flat mate when she mentioned the age thing.

I don’t care for her anymore. I’m not sure why.

Lili and TT
Asian women look to white men because they think it makes them culturally superior to the North American pallette…as well…in hoping for a “whiter” looking children with upper hand advantage over other race…case in point…
Check out Phillipino ladies and white men…I am just sayin…
Its not right. However people should date whatever race they want however should not do it for the wrong reasons…

i thought she was Nicole Scherzinger she looks exactly like her…seperated at birth !

thanks #15. i was kinda of thinking the same thing but was wondering if it was just me. i definitely agree with interacial coupling because my niece is bi-racial but she was definitely from a union of love.

LOVE. HER! Though I don’t like how she went all Hollywood with those crappy movies, Memoirs of a Geisha and that Teenage Ninja Turtle movie!

asian women being gold diggers? ya right. i’ve seen WAY more white gold diggers!

i fcukin hate her, she uses the white guy cuz she wants to be better at english and stuff and shes rlly ugly i hate her!

and how do i kno, im asian too

Why do we have to make assumptions and generalizations about everyone???

I’m asian and I have never said to myself “I’m going to find a white guy who is older than me and makes lots of money”. I have several asian female friends and NONE of them have ever said things like that before! You could argue it’s because I’m really Asian American but my mom was born and raised in Asia and she married a guy 2 years younger than her. So none of these statements you guys are making makes sense to me.

#21 I so agree.

to be fair @ 01/08/2008 at 4:47 pm

She’s cute as always!

Mind your words, people, you are just talking nonsense and crap like racists and proud peacocks. What is about “superiority” as a “white T-R-A-S-H”? ! It’s just ridiculous the way how you look down upon Asian people, they are actually more kind, modest and diligent than most of you “white” guys.

So don’t be so egotistic and obsessed in your freaky “superiority”, please behave like an educated “white”!

Mind your words, people, you are just talking nonsense and crap like racists and proud peacocks. What are those”white T-R-A-S-H”s feeling themselves so “superior’ about? ! It’s just ridiculous the way how you look down upon Asian people, they are actually more kind, modest and diligent than most of you “white” guys and leading beautiful and harmonious lives on their own instead of “digging” your trashs’ ‘gold”. Just stop your ridiculous calumniation!

And don’t be so egotistic and obsessed in your freaky “superiority”, please behave like an educated “white”! You people should open your eyes and get to know more about the facts of this earth.

Christine @ 01/08/2008 at 5:24 pm

I agree with #23 and #10…..most of the time asian women look for responsible men and most of the time they see responsibile characteristics in older men. Let’s quit with the racism, please. Stop generalizing, not all asian women are like that.

I agree with #23!

I am asian myself. For me and several of my friend (who are asians) we just want someone who are mature and family oriented. I really don’t care what race they are. Not all asian women need a man who can take care of her. I am very independent. I don’t need a man to take care of me, same with my friends. I don’t think many asians are gold diggers, even though some are. Saying that we need an older man is wrong, my mom is older than my dad.

Just saying what is on my mind.

So chic!

fck off!

I’m an asian woman, but not interested in WHITE OLD GUYS.

such a racist colonial minded crap. Instead of asking the question of why White men are obsessed with what they term ‘exotic’ such as Asian and Latina women, the burden and shame is on the women they are with.

Its like saying why White women are easy. Such a sexist crap, please ladies leave social analysis and anthropology to the expert and stick to trashing celebrity for their pictures.

judging 4 billion people in the world for what you view from your trashy gossip celeb doesn’t speak to much.

she’s cool! ziyi is beautiful and talented, enough said.

Love your comment CY #33! so well said! cool!
Ziyi is cute, happy for her.

She is considered average-looking in Asia and not a great actress. There are much more beautiful Asian actresses in Japan and Korea. I have travelled and lived in both N. America and Asia. Ziyi is just lucky to have gone to Hollywood and get lucky. I do think that Gong Li is a better actress.

The way Western people women perceive Asian women is stereo-typed. I am of Asian-Canadian decent and do not look that much Asian. In Asian, I have been told that I lookemixed with Caucasian.

Point is that…who cares about who Ziyi is dating. But I must agree, that some women are looking for older guys with cash. That is not every Asian woman. I have dated other races, but ended up happily with an Asian man.

I have heard that many Western men like Asian or Latin women because they look cute or younger than their age. Who knows? Not the majority of Asian women go for Western men. Usually, Western people can’t tell the difference between a real pretty Asian lady versus an average one.

Money and nice clothes as accessories always make people look better. Ziyi is just average-looking in Asia.

remember da truth @ 01/09/2008 at 6:39 am

Obviously some real racists on here, including Asians or fake Asians, angry that a rich white guy chose a beautiful, talented, young woman.

This is one of the most beautiful women in the world. And such a fantastic actress. She “went Hollywood”? Give me a break. The cry of everyone who sees someone finally get some recognition. Why not make a movie that people will see and enjoy?

I hope we see more of her — and Gong Li, and Michelle Yeo, and Chow Yun Fat.

Someone here mentioned her boyfriend is cute? You need glasses. Knowing Asians, if we date white men they’re good looking white men. If they aren’t, that’s because they’re rich and stops here.

Lucy Liu isn’t the hottest but she has style. Zhang Ziyi’s style is very Beijing like no matter what she tries to put on and oh…

Gong Li is still a lot better. I used to think Ziyi was really cute until she became some gold digging ******.

#25, i agree with you..

I totally agree with you #36 that Gong Li is the best actress from China, Zhang is considered average-looking in Asia and not a great actress, and Usually, Western people can’t tell the difference between a real pretty Asian lady versus an average one.

Shes rich & shes famous why does she have to go gold-digging anyway? Its good to see some ethnically diverse actors/actresses out there anyway

she’s not pretty at all.she’s just lucky.but not good actress.
I really think GONG LI is much hotter and better at acting.the most important thing is ZHANG doesn’t have a style.she’s just following.she tries really hard to follow everything… but still at this level.
kind of sad.

Gong Li is much better!!!

i think it ironic that #36, #44, #43 but especially #36 Coco Canada that you are against the comments that were made earlier about race but you go through the pains of stating how “non-asian” you look.

also when we still said that she is pretty you just bust her down to trying to convince us she is just average.

I think you are a hypocrit.

#36: hah maybe u r just toooooooooooooooooooo jealous about Ziyi
and #46is so right, u r just a hypocrite,or ,an idiot
#39: Hey whats wrong with Beijing? r u really so confident to be the most stylish one in beijing? hah~

someone is soooooooo boring,why cant an aisan womam really falls in love with a guy that is a little older than her?

Nevo is rich,but, is Ziyi poor?

and those hypocrites,please stop tarnish her, for u r really nothing and such behavior only stands ur inferiority~~!
xoxo~~

Beijing,China~~~

#33 r u sure ur half-Caucasian?? Or u just had a nose job and eyelide surgery so that you look more like one?
btw, where did u have ur surgery? Seoul or Tokyo?

losers~

#36 Coco Canada

r u sure ur half-Caucasian?? Or u just had a nose job and eyelide surgery so that you look more like one?
btw, where did u have ur surgery? Seoul or Tokyo?

losers~

Never had eyelid surgery or nose-job. I am a doctor and do not care about having stuff like that done. That is all vanity, which I do no care for. I have children and do not think that face-enhancing operations are necessary. Just an observer in Asia about actresses in general. Why all the hateful assumptions and comments?

I am just stating that Gong Li is the best actress and a gorgeous! And I love Lucy Liu and she has class! I give credit to Zhang…but don’t think that she can act.

#36 agrees with me. And I never called her a gold-digger. I do not call people names. That is rude. She is cute, but I was just saying that she is considered average-looking in Asia.

#46-#49 you need to relax and stop making hateful comments, just because other people have opinions.

Sandra Oh you rock! Now that is a great television Asian actress! N. American asian actresses clash with the asian-asian ones. The styles are different. You guys making nose-job comments are pathetic, making dumb-comments like that. Just because someone comments that Zhang is average-looking in Asia…and an average actor…you have to be so hateful.

Sounds like you have a complex about your ethnicity. People can state their observations. I have not made hateful comments like you.

I hope that all Asian actresses can succeed in Hollywood.

#36=#51 Coco canada yes everyone is entitled to their opinion including #48 but we called you out because you contridicted yourself. that’s all.

and COCO CANADA nobody made hateful comments. so stop looking for sympathy when u had put your own foot in your mouth and we called you out for it.

#53 Lily, calling people hypocrites and losers…are not hateful? Just because someone says that they look more Caucasian is not contradicting oneself. So don’t accuse someone that they are looking for any sympathy. Your pathetic! It’s like telling a person who is mixed with Asian that they don’t belong to their culture because they are mixed. Learn how to read carefully before making negative comments about others.

Lily, if you read carefully. Coco was just describing herself as looking non-Asian but is with an Asian man. I can understand how Westerners view Asians and vice versa. Just because you look mixed does not mean one is good-looking. It was just a description of how, I can see both sides of the coin from my experience.

There are some Asian women who like non-Asian men for whatever reasons. I am not here to judge anyone. And if that is what is Zhang’s taste in men…good for her. Saying someone is average-looking in Asian is not putting her down.

Calling someone a hypocrite without understanding what a person was trying to say is not nice. So if you did not know what I meant, you should keep your trap shut!

Your #3 comment is so ridiculous. Why are all these Asian chicks with white guys? That simply is not true.

#3 and #53 you need to look up the word hypocrite in the dictionary. Calling someone average-looking is not being a hypocrite. What is up with this “we” ruled you out because you did not agree with us. Is this a contest? Give me a break. You need to respect other people’s views.

There are people that agreed on the platform that Zhang was just an average actress and just cuz some people don’t agree…they are hypocrites? Just cuz someone said they looked mixed? Give me a break. Learn to read properly first.

Stop Hating @ 01/10/2008 at 11:33 am

Damn…. You people are just jealousof her fame and success! By the way, she makes about 2-3 million per film!!! She has her own mooola. I saw her at the knicks game last night. They look extremely happy together.

#58 Nobody is hating. Nobody cares. People are just commenting.. like people do with other celebs. Others just get hyped up if they don’t agree with their idols. So they have to put down other commentators.

Now if she was with Wentworth Miller we would be jealous. Who cares about the millions Zhang makes or her man. After all, money is the root of all evil. All the fame and money does not equal happiness. Young people have distorted views of celebs. We miss you Wentworth! Now there is an actor who is modest and does not prove that he has to change and hang out with a certain crowd to get accepted in Hollywood. Wish more actors were like Wentworth.

coco canada ,yeah, maybe hypocrite doesnt fit u
because u r an idiot,or, a narcissistist
u say u dont care whom Ziyi date,
omg, then who cares whom u date?
why u tell us your taste to men ?
unbelieveble~!

Sino-pie…you are just so negative! so sad! And it make you feel good to call people names. You are just so disgusting! First of all, I never said anything bad about anyone. People can make whatever comments they want to and just because others do not agree with your favourite idol Ziyi, you go nuts!

And when someone says, who cares?…meant that it is her personal business. That’s it. You, on the other hand, take everything negatively….you misunderstood that I was putting her down. I was explaining that not every Asian person will end up with a non-Asian guy and vice versa. And it is OK. Those were topics left by others who commented way ahead of me.

Obviously, your English is not good enough to read and understand what was said. The comments if your review page1 started off with other people saying negative things about Ziyi dating a white guy. So I am not an idiot. A person who says someone is an idiot, without understanding…is the real idiot! It is so sad that you think about things so negatively in life.

I am a mother, doctor and a wife…and you are probably some naive and unhappy student . I have travelled the world and helped people in dying places. You should have respect for older people who have more experience in life than you. And listen and respect other people’s views rather than calling people names. You are probably a young Asian who is very pessimistic in life. You are unbelievable!

Yeah…and you said that you were from Bejing. Learn to read better English. And do not accuse people of being jealous…or slashing at someone else about thinking that they think that they can dress better than Ziyi? Oh my goodness…this world is not all about vanity. There are global issues around the world. People are dying every second.

I can see where your level of thinking is….so low!

Sino-pie Bejing #60,

Spelling error….narcissist! Advice…take some English classes rather than calling people names, especially if you can’t spell them right.

she have bowled leg, and she does not know how to act! just lucky to get the the key guys.

she’s got a really pretty face and a nice body thanks to many year of dancing. but, she’s also a girl of lower birth and with little real education who would do and say anything to climb up the ladders.

you can argue that’s a normal or even desired way of life by many in this world, but you can’t disagree that it is also repulsive to those who have the least amount of virtue in their mind.

so, zzy’s supporters, don’t get mad just because others saw her true color and dislike her, and don’t conclude that all those others are either ugly or jealous of her. she’s basically selling sex for money and status. that’s the same as what h**kers do. but at least h**kers are honest and open about what they do, while ms. zhang claims that she is one ofthe most innocent girls alive and she is in this for “love.”

she’s got the right to date whoever she sees fit, and we’ve got the right to disrespect and dislike her for what she is and what she claims not to be.

mind your own biz @ 01/17/2008 at 10:08 pm

First of all, not sure who’s a gold digger here, if there must be one - Ziyi Zhang seems to have more than the guy does.

I think stereotypes and generalization aren’t entirely nonsensical but it’s just amazing how some of you guys get stuck in them. It only feels like jealous and envy exploding at the certain picture (two rich and beautiful people dating) that will never be yours .

@ Gold digger, ever wonder why do majaroity of Asian women seem like gold digers to you? Because birds of the same feather flock (or dig) together.

a jew and a chinese……the jew got the money ( with money you can get everything even prince diana)…and the chinese comes from a poor background family realising $$ is God and that she can sell her body to gain stardom and of course more money….

only stupid white men with plenty of money would pay millions of dollar for sex…….most asian businessmen are too smart….they **** but they dont get into the media…..only white monkey did that…..

The simple reason is that the men wants sex and the woman wants $$$$ thats it pure and simple….business exchange is done….

and for all of you **** out there….DONt Get FUKING JEALOUS…..if you are poor , then too bad….this is reality

Iso #48, you seemed to attack coco canada just because she is Asian-Canadian decent and doesn’t like ziyi. You called her loser. Please check your manner. This is a public area. If you like ziyi, that’s your feeling. Why did you have to attack coco canada just beacuse she doesn’t like ziyi like you do?

Ziyi is not a bad-looking person. She looks confident but too like showing off. She doesn’t have a style like Gong-li. She makes a lot of money. But there are way too many people who are much more richer than her. Isn’t she jealous of those people? Her making a lot of money doesn’t make her not a gold-digger. Why do some girls like really old but rich guys? How much love will they really have?

sino-pie #60, you called coco canada an idiot. Don’t you think you have a very bad manner too? Please be polite to others who don’t agree with you.
