TOKYO —
TV personality Mona Yamamoto, 33, continued her showbiz comeback this week with an appearance at a promotional event for the launch of Gilt Group in Japan, a invitation-only online shopping service for brandname items. Yamamoto attended the PR event wearing a tiara, a necklace and dress worth 200 million yen.
Asked about the ring on her finger, Yamamoto said, “I have been wearing this ring for a long time. My boyfriend gave it to me. I’ve decided not to hide it because it’s bothersome to do so.” Yamamoto told reporters that she no longer avoids talking about her boyfriend. “Our relationship is going well. If we decide to marry, I’ll let you know soon enough.”

being in a commercial for an online shopping channel is considered a "showbiz comeback?"

No guilt, feel free to tell us as much as you can about your relationship legitimate or otherwise.

Should be "priced at 200 million yen." There's no way that's the actual "worth" of the goods.

Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

I thought 'Entertainment' was supposed to entertain people.

of course, pukey2, mona's profession deals with entertaining "men".

However, many people are not so happy to hear her talking about relationship (again and again). Of course, if she can make money doing this kind of thing, who's to say it wrong?
