Mom-to-be

    CHINESE actress Tang Wei announced her pregnancy Saturday via Weibo, saying she is expecting “a naughty little monkey.”

    2016 is the year of monkey according to the Chinese zodiac — hence Tang’s reference to her unborn child as a little monkey.

    Tang, 37, rose to international fame in director Ang Lee’s thriller “Lust, Caution.” In 2014, Tang married South Korean director Kim Tae-yong, whom she met on the set of Kim’s 2010 romantic drama “Late Autumn.”

    New album

    SINGER Tsai Chin released what she has called “the last physical album” titled “Hallelujah” on Thursday.

    It’s been seven years since her last album, and according to her, this one took her three years to prepare. The 57-year-old diva, who released her first album in 1979, has many Mandopop hits including “The Forgotten Time” and “Just Like Your Tenderness.”

    Cesar Awards

    PHILIPPE FAUCON’S “Fatima” took home the best film of 2015 at the Cesar Awards in Paris on Friday night.

    Screened in Cannes’ Directors Fortnight section last year, this small-scale immigration drama won over Deniz Gamze Ergűven’s Oscar-nominated “Mustang.” “Fatima” also won awards for actress Zita Hanrot, and for Faucon’s adapted screenplay. “Mustang” took four awards, the opera dramedy “Marguerite” three, and “Standing Tall” two.
