The other day I read an article about a Hong Kong singer and actor named Edison Chen.  The article was about how he announced his break from the entertainment industry after the sex scandal incident.

Chen took his laptop into a repair shop and while it was there, the squad of geeks took some 1,300 photos off the hard drive.  These photos were of Chen and about 6 different female celebrities.

“These photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone,” the 27-year-old said in a calm voice amid a flood of camera flashes from the hundreds of reporters gathered.

“I have failed as a role model. However I wish that this matter will teach everyone a lesson.”

He said in a brief statement he would fulfill existing commitments before stepping down “indefinitely.” He added that he would dedicate himself to charity and community work.

The only reason why I even bothered mentioning this is because this is what our pop-whores, I mean stars, should do when they jack up their image.  I mean, take Spears, either one, if the girls would just quit doing what they are doing they wouldn’t hit the tabloids so hard.  Although it is big sis Brit who made little Jamie Lynne such a starlet in the gossip columns.  Is anyone else tired of seeing their RSS feeds filled with the Spears’ life?  I don’t even subscribe to celebrity gossip RSS’ but CNN covers a lot of the Spears happenings.
