Meet the Asian American Reality Show Producers

Remember that Asian American Reality Show that is being produced by Tyrese? KoreAm got the lowdown from the other producers Eugene Choi, Mike Le, and Eddie Kim. The show will take place in Koreatown in Los Angeles. While we still don’t know what to expect, SNL and Chelsea Lately already had their spin on it. In the casting, the producers want to see multi dimensional characters. Not your typical Asian stereotypes like the nerd, the martial artist, the slutty girl. No William Hung or Yao Ming here. Apparently, people around the country are trying to get on the show. Could there be an Asian with a southern draw or an Asian Guido casted? Look for the show coming soon.

Laughter

Check out this short film called Laughter. Here’s a synopsis:

What if laughter could be bought? A stoic man is afraid that he is unable to laugh at his upcoming date, so he purchases a bottle of Laughter at the local pharmacy. A single pill will let him laugh at the first thing anyone says, but will it save his day?

Olivia Munn builds Habitat for Humanity house

As Olivia Munn’s popularity climbs though magazine covers, film and TV appearances, and books, she still stay grounded by giving back to the community. She auctioned off a chance for fans to join her as she built a Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity house during a very special private build event on Thursday, April 15, 2010 in the Los Angeles area. The winners put their hardhats on, picked up their hammers and spent the day building a house with their favorite geek goddess, Olivia Munn. Together, they put in their “sweat equity” alongside a Habitat for Humanity partner homeowner family as they built a safe and decent, energy efficient home with a deserving family in need. Check out some of the footage.
