Ada Wong from The Biggest Loser Season 10

Ada Wong came in third in last night’s The Biggest Loser Season 10 finale. Although she didn’t win, she was a fan favorite and very inspiring. The previous week, she won America’s Vote to put her in the finals. Ada did it again in the finale as the overwhelming winner of America’s vote. During the time on the show, the 27 year old lost 99 pounds (38.37% of her weight). Her weight went from 258 to 159 pounds. She left her stamp on show with the fastest Biggest Loser marathon time for a female at 4:38:48 (a record she really wanted to have). Besides breaking the record, Ada Wong opened up to her family about how they make her feel like a failure. Her mother begins to cry while watching Ada’s transformation on the ranch. Ada hopes her relationship with her parents will get stronger.

More about Ada Wong
Ada has struggled with weight her entire life, and was shy growing up in Gilroy, California, with her younger brother and parents, who emigrated from China. Ridiculed about her weight and with no encouraging and supportive people around her, she turned to food for comfort. As she went through her school years, her personality blossomed and she excelled as a student. Her hard work continued at the University of San Francisco, where Ada earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a focus on international business. Now 27 years old and 258 pounds, Ada hopes losing weight will allow her to feel more confident, feel good about her life, and finally be happy. She looks forward to shopping for clothes when she loses weight, as well as snowboarding, rock climbing and even running a marathon.

Vanessa Hudgens in Sucker Punch Jamie Chung in Sucker Punch

Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared. “Sucker Punch” is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls– the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung), the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)–to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey–if they succeed–will set them free.

The film opens nationwide on March 25, 2011.

Fast Five Trailer

Director Justin Lin is back with another installment of The Fast and the Furious. The fifth movie of the franchise is entitled “Fast Five.” Here’s a synopsis:

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead a reunion of returning all-stars from every chapter of the explosive franchise built on speed in Fast Five. In this installment, former cop Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) partners with ex-con Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) on the opposite side of the law. Dwayne Johnson joins returning favorites Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar for this ultimate high-stakes race.

Since Brian and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) broke Dom out of custody, they’ve blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he’s not the only one on their tail.

Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can’t separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey…before someone else runs them down first.

In the trailer, look for Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) plays a cop and Sung Kang returns as Han. Lots of adrenaline pumping action. And cars!!!! Fast Five hits theaters April 29, 2011.
