I’m posting the first one because I love how, just when you think he’s stepping out of sight for good, he will turn around and wave goodbye to the fans. Aww. โ™ฅ And the second one just tickles me because it’s like some music video or something.

We’re with MTV USA on this one. I love that J.Lo got top spot on People magazine’s annual Most Beautiful People’s list. *applause, applause* BUT… the folks that People left off this year boggles the mind, including Rain.

You want beauty? Someone hasn’t seen MMMMMENtholatum’s latest campaign, huh? I know, I know, that just came out, but that doesn’t explain everything else he’s done for the past twelve months.

Wowww… blindness abounds. (or maybe it was lack of space, who knows…)

Jennifer Lopez Is People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman In The WORLD Because, Hello, Look At Her [excerpt]

So People magazine just revealed its annual list of Most Beautiful People, where [mostly] famous people are celebrated for being pretty on the outside (hey, at least they don’t lie about it). “American Idol” judge and comeback kid Jennifer Lopez was given the title of Most Beautiful Woman In The World, which is appropriate, considering she’s been known to leave lovestruck oglers legally blinded by her beauty….

Sure, Zac Efron, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Hudson all received accolades for their jaw-dropping good looks, but, naturally, some very worthy contenders were left off the list. If you ask us, we’re pretty confident that Nicki Minaj, Darren Criss, Kelly Rowland, Nick Jonas and Rihanna should have been on that list, too. Where’s Jared Leto? Hayley Williams? Katy Perry? Rain! And Betty White. Always include Betty White….

[article] Rain looks forward to enlistment, confident of retaining superstar status.

•April 14, 2011 • 11 Comments

โ€” Cloud cover by: Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^

He should be confident, completely. Rain’s stint in the military will not be damaging in the least to his worldwide fan base or Hollywood’s interest in him. In fact, we’re going on record and saying that the next phase in his career will probably explode the moment he gets out. Rain is the master of reinvention and a man of many talents with much to offer the world.

Three endorsers just signed him on this year to be the face of their products, even though he’s military-bound… and why do you think they did that? Take the hint, folks! His star is set to shine for years and years to come, and they know that.

And yes, more than likely when he’s out, physically reconnected with his fans, added more pegs onto his Hollywood career, transitioned into mellowness and gotten even more gorgeous with time… that’s when he’ll get serious about settling down family-wise, around age 35 to 40. If then. Just a prediction, of course. ๐Ÿ™‚

Rain looks forward to enlistment, confident of retaining superstar status

SHANGHAI: Korean singer-actor Rain revealed that he was not worried about losing his popularity after he enlists for National Service in Korea, during an appearance at a publicity event in Shanghai on Tuesday.

“Two years will pass by quickly. I believe after two years (of National Service), my fans will continue to support me.

“These two years are very important and meaningful to me. I will enjoy these two years in the armed forces and make myself stronger,” said 28-year-old Rain [international age ^@@^] who will have to serve his National Service obligations this year.

Rain received notice to enlist last year but successfully deferred his enlistment to the end of this year.

South Korean men are required by law to serve for 21 months in the armed forces and must enlist before they turn 30.

With the clock ticking, it is no wonder the Asian superstar is making the most of it โ€“ Rain is currently shooting his last film before enlisting, the war film “Red Scarf” where he plays a fighter pilot, and will embark on a concert tour during gaps in the filming.

His concert tour will see him perform in Beijing, Thailand as well as in Singapore on May 22.

It had been nine years since he made his showbiz debut and Rain is working harder than ever.

However, the “Full House” star hopes to take things slow in his 30s.

“I worked very hard in my 20s. I hope after I turn 30, I can have some time to myself and enjoy a more leisurely lifestyle, do things I want to do,” said Rain.

He also expressed that he would not rule out getting married and starting a family if he met the right girl, lamenting that “the right lady hasn’t appeared yet”.

If the right person came along, he would not hide their relationship like some stars but will instead go public with it.

“Actually, I tried it before. Evading the media is a very hard thing to do.

“It is better to let everyone openly photograph you than have people secretly take ugly photos of you,” said Rain.

Rain check.

Rain makes women swoon with abs and pubic bones

Rain posed with his fantastic body.

World star Rain has been chosen as the model for international brand Mentholathum. Despite his busy schedule, he carried on with the advertisement shoot.

This day Rain surprised the staff on set, preparing for the shoot. He did sit-ups and push-ups, showing how he maintained his glam body even until eight before the shoot.

He was also the energy maker in the set, making jokes and easing the tense atmosphere of the set. A person on the set said, “Rain was too modest to be called a World Star and the staff all complimented him”.

Meanwhile, Rain is in the middle of the movie “The Red Muffler – 2011”. This movie is about the missions and life of Air Force Fighters, fighing to keep the airs safe with Sin Se-kyeong, Yoo Joon-sang, Kim Sung-soo, Jeong Seok-won and more in cast.

In the picture that follows is Rain with Oh Dal-soo smiling widely. Oh Dal-soo’s shy smile makes the looker laugh.

Korean boy band MBLAQ, who are preparing for their official debut into the music industry in Japan, released their first Japanese music video today.

The music video for their new song “Your Luv” was uploaded onto their official Japanese website (http://www.mblaq.jp/index2.php), revealing a pop/hip-hop tune with a powerful dance performance by the group’s members.

In February, the boys’ agency J.Tune Entertainment had announced that MBLAQ will make their debut into the music scene in Japan after signing with Sony Music Records, releasing their album this month and kicking off their activities in the country in early May….

Rain shoots a CF for skincare brand, โ€œMentholatumโ€

World star Rain was recently appointed as the main model for skincare brand, “Mentholatum.” Despite his busy schedule, the singer was able to take some time off to shoot a CF for the company.

The staff were surprised and impressed when they saw Rain preparing in advance for the CF shoot, such as performing sit-ups and push-ups in order to maintain his buff body for the actual filming.

A representative expressed, โ€œRain showed so much humility throughout the shoot that we couldnโ€™t feel that he was a world star at all, and the staff praised him a lot for that.โ€

Meanwhile, Rain has been busily filming for his new movie, “Red Muffler“, which also features Shin Se Kyung, Yoo Jung Sang, Kim Sung Soo, and Jung Suk Won.

Oh my heavens! Team Lotus, formerly Lotus Racing, is the team that Heikki Korvalanein and Luiz Razia race on! OMG!

Rain visited their garage before the start of the race, and Team Lotus themselves tweeted their picture of it about six hours ago… wow. *incredulous* Is that the coolest thing or what? In this picture, team sponsor Tony Fernandes (of Malaysia) is the man on the end to our left, and I do believe that’s team deputy chief SM Nasarudin is on the end to our right.

Two of the ladies appear to be wearing outfits that are “AirAsia red” so perhaps they are there to represent AirAsia (who has partnered with Team Lotus in a driver development program). I wonder if Rain dropped in on anyone else? He looked a bit in relaxation mode (always a good thing). Or it could have just been a sponsor thing, you know how it goes.

I’m tickled pink! I knew being a Formula 1 babe would come in handy one day. LOL!
