Vicki Zhao Wei is Fa Mulan

I'm glad that Zhang Zi-Yi did not get to play the role of Fa Mulan, a legendary female warrior who took her dad's place in the war to save him from imminent death.

I find Zhang Zi-Yi with all her pretty cheap antics and multi-rich foreign lover a poor choice that would not only be a disaster but as well tarnish the good name of Fa Mulan. Enough said of this tart.

Zhao Wei is a Chinese film actress and a singer. Born and raised in Wuhu, Anhui Province, China, she is the second child of Zhao Jiahai (赵家海) and Wei Qiying (魏启颖).

Rise, 'Datuk' Shah Rukh Khan

KUALA LUMPUR: Bollywood idol Shah Rukh Khan will now flaunt the prefix 'Datuk', a traditional title conferred by the Malaysian royalty and akin to the British knighthood. The Indian heartthrob will receive his Datukship from the Malacca head, Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob later on Saturday. He has been listed as an artiste from Dreamz Unlimited, his filmmaking company, in the list of recipients. Shah Rukh will receive the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM), the third highest title. He is among 77 recipients of the title. Khan, 43, is a highly acclaimed Indian actor who works in Bollywood films, as well as a film producer and television host. He has starred in several box-office movies and won awards throughout his career, The New Straits Times said Saturday. Among Malaysian Indians to be awarded are Putra Specialist Hospital anaesthesiologist, P.T. Aiyaroo, Recron (Malaysia) Director Anil Rajvanshi, Baljit and Partners Managing Director Baljit Singh Balwant Singh, Jasin Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) division deputy chairman K. Karpan and Malaysian Federation of Indian Muslim Associations president Meera Mohideen Jamal Mohd. The Malaysian awards, akin to the British knighthood, are allowed to form part of the prefix of those conferred. Films from India, both in Hindi and Tamil, are regular fare in Malaysia, a multi-ethnic society with an estimated 2.6 million Indian diaspora, besides workers from other South Asian nations.

Janet Jackson, at 42, back on the road with a dance-heavy show

Notice something missing from the concert schedule these past few years?She's back.Seven months after her album "Discipline" debuted atop the Billboard chart -- her sixth No. 1 -- Janet Jackson is on the concert trail with the Rock Witchu tour, which will bring her Saturday night to the Palace of Auburn Hills.Until the tour's launch earlier this month, it had been seven years since we'd seen Jackson on the road -- though we certainly got a good look at her during the 2004 Super Bowl performance that pushed the phrase "wardrobe malfunction" into the popular vernacular. After a decade of groundbreaking concert runs that started with 1990's acclaimed Rhythm Nation 1814 Tour, Jackson eased offstage to focus on studio recording and film work.She says she was set to hit the road last year, even commencing rehearsals with her crew, before pressure from Island Def Jam convinced her to wait for the new album's release."It was something that they really wanted me to do, so I said, 'OK, I'll do this for you guys.' I waited, and so here I am," she says. "I wasn't going to postpone this one for anything."There may be lingering ill will: Saturday's show will come just days after Jackson announced her split from Island Def Jam, her label home for just 14 months. She had already publicly accused the company of bungling the album's promotional campaign.Meanwhile, the tour's name has bred confusion among some who assume it's an allusion to the 1980 chart-topper "Rock with You" by brother Michael. Not so, she says: "It's about dance -- that's why I decided to call it Rock Witchu."But MJ still gets a name-check from his younger sister. At 42, more than three decades after her emergence as a pop star, Janet Jackson continues to pay tribute to the acts whose stagecraft paved the way for her, including Prince, the Time and her brothers in the Jackson 5 -- "the biggest inspiration for what I do when it comes to dance and really 'up' music." Among newer artists, Jackson says, a particular favorite is Jill Scott.As with Jackson's prior outings, Rock Witchu's two-hour, nine-costume-change set is a heavily choreographed affair -- an eclectic, electric show that Jackson says might as well have been called the History of Dance Tour. The 33-song set includes plenty of hip-hop-influenced fare, including a virtual duet with rapper Nelly, via video, on their hit "Call on Me."That's no surprise. "Discipline," like its predecessors "20 Y.O." and "Damita Jo," is peppered with hip-hop flourishes and other up-to-date dance sounds. (Produced by boyfriend Jermaine Dupri, it's also her first album in a quarter-century not to feature the services of golden-touch producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.) But Jackson noticeably bristles when asked if she feels compelled to keep up with current pop styles."I don't think the word 'keep up' is correct. I think you do your thing. I've already been there. I've already done all of that. It's not a matter of keeping up," she says. "I hope that doesn't sound cocky, because I don't mean it to sound cocky. ... It's about doing what you do -- being you, not trying to change because this is going on or that's going on. And of course you're going to evolve. That's what I've always stuck to, and that's what I'll always stick to. Music has changed. I'm a lover of music. My music has changed. It will continue to evolve."It would be hard to accuse Jackson of coasting at this point. Leading into the tour's Sept. 10 kickoff in Vancouver, Jackson and her crew -- which she equates to a close family -- were logging seven-hour rehearsal stints, day after day."There's a certain level of expectance from you, and you have to get that done and be on point," she says. "So whatever that takes, that's what you put into it. ... I don't think that's changed. I've always been a hard worker. That's how I was raised. Everyone in my family is like that, and I don't think I'll ever be any different."Jackson may get the lion's share of spotlight, but it's clear she considers the stage work to be a team effort. She eschews flying by jet in favor of traveling by tour bus -- part of a 21-vehicle caravan transporting about 80 crew members -- where she likes to unwind by catching up on potential scripts and watching historical documentaries."I love being on the bus with my people, with people that have been with me 10-plus years," she says.Staying down-to-earth also means retaining a tight bond with her audience, a fiercely loyal bunch who got the chance to help select Jackson's tour set list through a promotional call-in line."Being so dedicated and loyal, they told me what they've wanted, and this is what I'm trying to give them," she says. "So hopefully they'll be happy. Like I said, this show is for them -- it's for the fans."

Best TV on the Web: Lexus Shows Web Therapy

Ready for another comedy of discomfort, watching people who are creepy beyond belief and don't know it, trying to negotiate the world around them? Then step right up for the first three sessions with online therapist, Fiona Wallice, in Web Therapy. As played by Lisa Kudrow -- famed for her years on Friends and less-so for her more recent HBO discomfort-com The Comeback -- Wallice is a self-serving wacko who, in these three episodes at least, is counseling a former paramour she'd like to reclaim. And, as per the conceit of the show, she does these therapy sessions via webcam. What does Lexus have to do with it? The car maker launched its L/Studio site to feature shows like Web Therapy. In the old days, you watched TV shows to get ads; now you get to the ads to get some TV.

Web Therapy is written by Kudrow and co-written and directed by Don Roos, who directed her in a couple of films, including the excellent The Opposite of Sex. Her patient/ex in the first three webisodes -- there will be 15 total -- is played by Tim Bagley, one of those Hollywood everymen you'll instantly recognize and never be able to place ("Hey, it's that guy!") Coming in October on L/Studio is Puppy Love, a 50-episode Web series about people and their relationships. With their dogs, mostly. It'll star former X-man Famke Janssen. And more actors you won't be able to place. Plus, a lot of awesome puppy dogs. T

David Letterman Roasts John McCain After McCain Bails on "Late Show"

Sen. John McCain canceled his appearance on the "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday night, but gave a false reason as to why. Earlier on Wednesday, McCain announced that he was suspending his campaign to go to Congress to work legislation on the bailout crisis on Wall Street. McCain personally called the Late Show to cancel his appearance on the show last-minute, citing that he was rushing to the airport to get back to Washington. During the introductory monologue, Letterman announced McCain's cancellation to the audience, who was disappointed by his absence. Keith Olbermann, the MSNBC political commentator, filled in for McCain on the show. However, during the telecast, Letterman learned that McCain was actually still in New York. In fact, McCain was just a few blocks away at the CBS News headquarters, preparing for a last-minute exclusive interview with Katie Couric. During his interview with Olbermann, Letterman interrupted Olbermann to show the audience a live shot on the internal CBS News feed of a makeup artist putting the finishing touches on McCain while he waited to talk to Couric. "He doesn't seem to be racing to the airport, does he?" Letterman said, shouting at the television monitor: "Hey, John, I got a question! You need a ride to the airport?" McCain has been a frequent visitor to the Late Show. In fact, McCain announced his presidential bid on the show in 2007. If he was to show up on Wednesday, it would have been his 13th appearance on the show. During the show, Letterman began to be critical of McCain's decision to suspend the campaign. "I’m more than a little disappointed by this behavior," he said. " 'We’re suspending the campaign.' Suspending it because there’s an economic crisis, or because the poll numbers are sliding?" "You don’t suspend your campaign," Letterman continued. "Do you suspend your campaign? No, because that makes me think, well, you know, maybe there will be other things down the road –- if he’s in the White House, he might just suspend being president. I mean, we've got a guy like that now!"

His famed top 10 was entitled "The Top Ten Questions People are Asking The John McCain Campaign":

#10 "I just contributed to your campaign – how do I get a refund?"

#9 "It's Sarah Palin – does this mean I’m pars’dent?"

#8 "Can’t you solve this by selling some of your houses?"

#7 "This is Clay Aiken. Is McCain single?"

#6 "Do you still think the fundamentals of our economy are strong, Genius?"

#5 "Are you doing all of this just to get out of going on Letterman?"

#4 "What would Matlock do?"

#3 "Hillary here – my schedule is free Friday night."

#2 "Is this just an excuse to catch up on napping?"

#1 "This is President Bush – what’s all this trouble with the economy?"
