The Hangover Part II star Ken Jeong is set to return for the third season of NBC’s Community, in which he will reprise to role as Chang. After taking part in two high-grossing films this summer, the former doctor recently told BuzzSugar that this is the happiest he has been in his career and that for him, it is an “embarrassment of riches”:

As I say it out loud, it’s still surreal. I was happy being the doctor from Knocked Up, alright? That was like, amazing. If that were to be the last thing I’d do, it would be a life well spent in the arts. So to be Mr. Chow and [star in] two Hangovers, a third season of Community and to be in Transformers? Come on it’s ridiculous. It’s an embarrassment of riches.

Jeong admits his acting career is a like a dream come true for him, and he attributes a large part of his success to people like Bradley Cooper and director Todd Phillips: “Todd Phillips made me. He gave me my career.” Jeong’s incredible success comes at a meaningful point for Jeong and his wife, who has just celebrated her third year of being cancer-free.

megan-fox-headerOne morning you wake up and read the gossip section of the newspaper and you see that Megan Fox, the desire of 99% of all heterosexual men in North America is making strong overtures about you.  She visits your country to promote her blockbuster movie, Transformers 2, and she reiterates her desire for you to the press.  Your name happens to be Rain, and you’ve rejected her overtures by simply saying, “I’m not interested.”  Doh!  Dude!  C’mon Rain, at least play the game like many other American celebrities who are in faux relationships to hide their real sexuality.  The best case scenario is that you actually end up liking Megan, she likes you, and the U.S. media – which happens to be the most powerful in the world – will warm up to the relationship.  This would open doors for more Korean artists to import their work into the U.S. and also change some of the views about Asian artists who’ve been trying to make it in media and entertainment.  Do it for your brethern, otw, the Tom Cruise rumors will start up about you.

From Yahoo News: According to media reports, Fox has spoke numerously about her admiration for Rain while on the movie promotional tour.

And that was not just a comment made by Fox; she has indeed extended a dinner date to Rain through her manager but was rejected by the Korean star who was “not interested”.

Yet, the rejection did not wound her pride and ironically, it has built up stronger interest of Rain in Fox who recently criticized the comparison of herself to Angelina Jolie.

According to reports, Fox loves such challenges and has no plans to give up. She would continue extending her invite to Rain, hoping that he would agree to meet up someday.

From IMDB: Sexy Megan Fox has her sights set on Korean pop superstar Rain after confirming she’s no longer dating actor Brian Austin Green.

The Transformers star ended her engagement to Green earlier this year, but maintained the couple was still trying to work out its relationship in a recent magazine interview.

Now, however, it appears Fox is on the prowl – and she’s looking to the East for her new man.

She says, “There is this Korean Justin Timberlake, named Rain, and I’m really on his situation now. I’m trying to fix this up.”
