It has been one of the premier fundraisers for HIV/AIDS programs in America, raising over $27 million for research, care and prevention agencies. This year’s event theme was Fashion and Compassion.
NBC aired a shortened version of the event yesterday entitled “Celebrity Catwalk Challenge”. The Jabbawockeez did not model for the event, but the did what they did best – dance.
If you missed the event or the TV broadcast, you’ve got one more crack at it on October 23, 20008 at a local theater. For the first time this year the magic of Macy’s Passport will be brought to the silver screen. Macy’s Passport will be transformed into a high definition cinematic event to be shown across the country, featuring special celebrity and musical entertainment and showcasing all the excitement of the live Passport events. Macy’s Passport : Fashion Cinema expands Macy’s commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS. In each city, Macy’s will host a screening party with all proceeds benefiting a local HIV/AIDS organization.

Korea American CS Lee plays Vincent Masuka, a forensics expert with the Miami Police Department, on Dexter. His character is mainly used as comic relief on Dexter including making sexual innuendos.
Raised in Vancouver, Washington, Charlie Lee played football (running back and quarterback) before acting in school productions and abandoned his engineering aspirations, performing well enough to earn a full scholarship to Cornish. After receiving his masters, he spent eight years in NYC acting with various theater companies, as well as guest roles in TV and film. He currently resides in Los Angeles. If you are lucky, you might see CS Lee on Los Angeles County public golf courses.
Also CS Lee plays Harry Tang on Chuck. NBC specifically requested future scripts to feature Mr. Lee’s recurring role in “Chuck”

ABC is giving “I Survived a Japanese Game Show” a second season. Ten (10) episodes of the game show have been ordered and expected to air during he summer of 2009. Ten Americans will again compete on a Japanese game show with the final winner getting a grand prize of $250k. Will we see the return of Tony Sano, Rome Kanda, Judge Bobo, and Mama-san? Will there be an Asian American contestant on the show?
Look like ABC is trying to reassemble the one-two punch of “WipeOut” and “I Survived a Japanese Game Show.” However, ABC is being sued over WipeOut.

Although Wipeout was renewed for a second season, the Japanese game show import has hit a snag. Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) sued ABC over the game show “Wipeout“. The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles claims that ABC infringed on the copyrights of Japanese television shows. TBS owns the Japanese copyright to the obstacle course series “Takeshi’s Castle,” co-owns the right to Spike TV’s “MXC” (which uses footage from “Takeshi’s Castle”) and owns the copyright to competition series “Sasuke” (aka “Ninja Warrior” on G4).
