Las Vegas, Nevada - Capping off
a whirlwind romance, LoveEkinCheng.com film critic Calvin "Sanjuro"
McMillin wed Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi in ceremonies held earlier last
week. This will be the first marriage for both. The Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon star was quoted as saying, "He's got it all - brains,
wit, and an undeniable sex appeal, what more could a superstar ingénue
like myself want out of life?" The schoolteacher/writer extraordinaire
added, "What better place to celebrate the exquisite beauty of our
blessed union than to be married at the Las Vegas "Chapel O' Love"
by an ordained Elvis impersonator?"
Though the newlyweds seem very much in
love, the fallout of such a high-profile marriage is evident as reactions
to the hasty nuptials were mixed, even among Sanjuro's former LoveHKFilm.com
colleagues. Fellow reviewer RainDog grumbled, "Why'd she pick that
bastard? He's a drunk, a womanizer, and doesn't play well with others."
Similarly, when asked for her two cents, rumored former flame Magicvoice
would only cryptically say, "I'm sending him some char siu bao
in the mail. So there." When asked his opinion, ousted LoveHKFilm.com
webmaster Kozo said, "I pity both of them."
While many people are doubtful that the match will last, at least one
person was downright skeptical that the marriage even took place. "It's
a total sham," said a forum poster who would only identify himself
as "ekinchenghater69." Though a eagle-eyed moderator deleted
his post from the LoveHKFilm.com Community, portions of ekinchenghater69's
scurrilous post have been retrieved, though this newspaper has had to
correct many misspellings, delete extraneous emoticons, and spell out
several ridiculously annoying web abbreviations. In this post, the member
wrote, "I don't think that's a real picture. Something's just a little
off about it. Besides, based on what he said about Ekin Cheng, I bet he's
gay."
Despite his critics, the new groom
couldn't be happier, saying, "I understand that distance can put
a strain on a relationship so I'm going to take steps to prevent that
from happening." Though he will still write occasionally for new
website LoveEkinCheng.com, McMillin has since tendered his resignation
from Highland West Junior High, and will be accompanying his new wife
on her next location shoot in China. "Besides," he added with
a wink, "it'll be nice to have my very own sugar mama to rely on."

"It's all a front.
I know for a fact that he's gay. He said 'no' to me; how's that for
evidence? Besides, I think Ekin Cheng will always be his first love."

"I'm happy for both.
Hopefully this turn of events will distract the media from my performance
in that movie Fall for You. And I don't believe the rumors
about Sanjuro being gay. By the way, I also think Aaron Kwok is a
swell dresser." - Francis Ng |

"Shit! This is all
a front! I defy Sanjuro and Ziyi to have a child! It'll never happen!
And if she tries, I'm sure she'll break! All those skinny Hong Kong
actresses will snap under the stress of childbirth! Sing-jai! I want
to work again!" - Ng Man-Tat |
