TOKYO - Actress-model Yu Yamada, 24, and six other models worked their magic at a fashion show held in Yurakucho in conjunction with the Japan premiere of “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” The movie, directed by P.J. Hogan, stars Isla Fisher as a college graduate who moves to New York to nurture her shopping addiction.
Yamada, who also likes shopping, helped co-ordinate the fashion show, and said: “It’s good for stress, or for when I want to reward myself. I love clothes more than anything else.”
Yamada is currently seeing actor Shun Oguri, 26, and reporters asked her if she would be getting an engagement ring sometime this year, to which she replied: “If I can get one, anytime is OK, anyone is OK!”
“Confessions of a Shopaholic” (titled “Okaimono chudoku na watashi!” in Japanese) opens in cinemas on May 30. From >

This constant talk of dating and engagements among the tarento really gets old. Instead of discussing anything of value, so many Japanese want to focus on the inane and ignorant to escape from reality. Yu Yamada is a fine example of Okinawan beauty. She would do well to find a real man overseas like Jessica Michibata did. by : pathat
This is what you get when you read gossip rags and watch gossip shows. If you want real journalism, there are magazines and channels for that. Clearly you aren''t interested! =) by : bdiego
bdiego: My point was concerning the overabundance of this stuff about the dating/engagement thing of late in an attempt to distract more and more people away from reality. My posting history and the writing I do in newspapers in Japan show how interested I am in more serious topics. Do you have an opinion about Yu Yamada and the premiere of "Confessions of a Shopaholic?" by : pathat
i realized yamada yu has the perfect face for hating! no wonder she plays characters that are just plain annoying & evil. her face fits all those negative reactions toward her. by : weetzie |
