Harper’s Bazaar magazine (Chinese edition) held their sixth annual charity gala in Beijing last Friday (Aug 22) with the attendance of some 300 celebrities, including A-list stars like Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and former UK’s Prime Minister Tony Blair etc.
The 2008 gala managed to raise 10.35 million Yuan (~USD1.5 million) which will be channelled to the relief work in quake-hit areas in Sichuan province.
Chinese starlet Isabella Leong is set to make her Hollywood debut in The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (updated title), co-starring Brendan Fraser, Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Maria Bello, John Hannah and Luke Ford etc.
Actress Liu Yifei was previously tipped to be the hot favourite to land the role, but it’s obvious that it was just a rumour.
The movie will begin filming in July 2007 in Montreal, Canada, and Xi’an, China.
