Sean Faris is Shirtless
Sun, 23 September 2007

Shirtless male hotties Sean Faris (Life As We Know It, Reunion) and Cam Gigandet (Volchock from The O.C.) film a fight scene on the Orlando, FL set of their upcoming action film Never Back Down (it was filmed at a club near Universal Studios).

In the film, rebellious teen Jake Tyler (Faris) is lured into an underground fight club at his new high school. He finds a mentor in a mixed martial arts veteran (Djimon Hounsou) and eventually gets in the ring with Ryan McDonald (Gigandet).

Never Back Down opens in 2008 and also stars Amber Heard (Greta from Hidden Palms). Faris reportedly gained 15 lbs. of muscle during training and trained 7 hours a day, 6 days a week for this film.

The O.C. Koreans
Fri, 28 April 2006

"You know who I’m going with? Sungho. We totally found each other at the sweatshirt party. He’s got this wonderfully hairless body. It’s like hooking up with a seal. His cousin, Young Nam, is visting from Seoul. His English is a little "kujok kure" (not very good). But Sungho said he’s huge on the K-pop (Korean pop) scene. And his band is Big Korea. He’s a model too. They actually based a couple of anime characters on him." — Taylor (Autumn Reeser)

In last night’s episode of The O.C. ("The Party Favor"), the Korean pop star, Young Nam, at The O.C. senior prom was played by Justin Chon (he also played an Asian wannabe gangster in a few T-Mobile commericals). FYI :: The little Koreans girls (pictured) screamed for BIG KOREA yelling "OPPA!!!!!!" More screen caps from this episode in the gallery!

UPDATE :: Justin Chon is not a real Korean pop star. Wake up, people! He’s an actor just like the rest of The O.C. cast.

After kisssing her date, the Korean pop star, a drunk Summer
(Rachel Bilson) falls off the senior prom pirate ship.

Blood bath! In this episode’s final scene, Ryan (Benjamin
McKenzie) beats the snot out of Volchok (Cam Gigandet).

Asians On The OC!!!
Fri, 21 April 2006

Wah! It’s going to be one huge AZN block party on The O.C. next week (that’s the same Asian in the background here). Yeah, mooncakes all around! (Some screen time is better than no screen time, eh?) Above, Summer (Rachel Bilson) enlists the help of Volchok (Cam Gigandet) to liven up the senior prom while Marissa (Mischa Barton) has the task of actually getting Volchok to enjoy the prom. The O.C. episode "The Party Favor" airs this Thursday, April 27 (9PM ET/PT) on FOX. More pictures in the gallery!

One of this season’s American Idol finalists and real-life Orange
County resident Lisa Tucker will also guest-star in this episode.

The O.C. Party Favor
Thu, 13 April 2006

"Party Favor" Synopsis :: Harbor School’s Senior Prom brings out the best and the worst in everyone. Taylor hits a high at prom, while Summer falls flat with her surprising prom date. Seth and Anna come up with a prom plan to win Summer back. Meanwhile, Marissa convinces Volchok to go to the prom (he flirts with another girl and gets caught) and Ryan brings an unexpected old flame. When one of the girls is elected prom queen, it truly becomes a night to remember. Later, when Taylor’s prom funds are missing, Ryan returns to his old ways and prom night turns brutal.

ALERT! ALERT! ASIANS ON THE OC! ASIANS ON THE OC! And by golly, that’s a FOB in the back row! Ai-yah! Total landmark moment for the The O.C. to have Asians on the show… although none them probably have speaking roles. Ha! (Dr. Kim doesn’t count, she’s old!) This is also the same episode a black person will make it on The O.C. — American Idol finalist and real-life Orange County resident Lisa Tucker will guest-star as herself and have a speaking role. Fo’ shizzle. ¶ Above, the gang gather together in the Cohen backyard for a forced senior prom photo. More pictures in the gallery including Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) putting on corsage on Theresa’s (Navi Rawat) wrist before heading to the prom together. Ryan and Volchok (Cam Gigandet) seemingly to come to a truce before the prom and shake hands. The O.C. episode "The Party Favor" airs Thursday, April 27 (9PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Ryan, Seth, Kirsten and Sandy (um, that picture won’t
come out if your fingers are all over the camera settings
buttons) take a family snapshot before the prom.
