Without this cap she looks better. Also without this dress...

Westurn, I know this has been mentioned many, many times before, but notice this is in the entertainment section. Not the National section, not the politics section, not the crime section, but the entertainment section. Why wouldn't a celebrity news blurb about ebi chan or any one else be in the entertainment news section? Now if this was in the national section sure, but much ado about nothing as usual.

And you're right sarge, she's positively ancient at 28. Better hope she gets hitched soon.

westurn, you are obviously a noob to Japan. This heat wave is absolutely normal, and it's not even that hot, while Ebi-chan is. So she deserves front page, while your global warming rubbish, does not. Sorry, no points for you.

Hmmm I must be the only one who thinks she looks awful in this photo. What, is the stupid head scarf meant to make her look 'cool'?

At 28, how much longer can she hold her cuteness?

Depends on your perspective. If you were married to her she would still have it 30 years on. You'd be 30 years down the road too.

It is not fair - if you check the entertainment section it is filled with nothing but ridiculous girls in stupid outfits for the men. Where are the male celebs for the females at JT!?

You may have a point. JT reps are reading this and something will be in the works!

speaking of noobs ... or is it boobs ??? Anyway, the show must go on...

for rjdjr:

"but notice this is in the entertainment section."

Uhhh, yes I know... but soooo what ? My point is, why waste space on irrelevant fluff when there is real news out there.

My observations stand... Ebi chan going to a fashion show is, ho-hum, not news !

Seriously - this pic makes her look like a shemale.

Was she in the fashion show or just watch it?

@UnagiDon You made me laugh real hard :)

But I agree, she is not cool looking in that pic. She looks too cute to be cool.
