Hahaha, all look same.


Keanu Reeves at the "Speed Racer" premiere.

"How I Met Your Mother," now running on Korean TV as "아이러브프렌즈," has got to be the whitest show on television. In other news, Rain just got served. Interesting to know these things still happen to the most influential person in the world. *cough* From the Chosun Ilbo:
Singer and actor Rain had an embarrassing moment at the premier of his Hollywood debut film "Speed Racer" at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday. The 26-year-old Korean superstar was introduced as Taejo Togokhan, the name of his character in the movie, instead of his real name Jung Ji-hoon, or his better-known stage name.

They get my name wrong all the time. Then again, I'm not overexposed on the vanguard of a heralded nationalistic pop culture takeover, and my fans aren't bringing me more international fame than my career ever did by stuffing online ballot boxes to have me named the most influential person in the world. I'm sure some of his maniacal fans will be more upset that ignorant white people confused with a Japanese man, and a fictional one at that. At least nobody ever mistook me for a Canadian.
