This lovely lady has 22 boyfriends. And before you start jumping to conclusions and calling her a slut, she regards them all as serious ones!
When Hatsuho Tani (22) was asked recently by a Japanese tabloid if she felt bad for being so active in romance, she replied that she loves each guy in a different way.
She must also possess a superhuman memory too since she claims to remember all their various conversations!
Hatsuho is a "burikko"-type tarento and model -- in other words, she pretends to be dumb.
This is apparently very charming to Japanese men, who like a girl who looks up ...
A Japanese weekly tabloid, Shukan Bungei, has published a story saying that comedian Shingo Fujimori saying that he got a fashion model pregnant and then forced her to have an abortion, then paying her ¥3.5 million (over $40,000) to keep her quiet.
The tabloid claimed that his agency leaked the story to try to overshadow the "scandal" over Fujimori's relationship with TBS announcer Minami Tanaka, though surely it just makes his reputation look even worse.
At a recent press conference for an ad campaign he was fronting, Fujimori apologized for the trouble he had caused everyone and ...
Following the revelation that singer and actor ISSA had been having an affair with AKB48's Yuka Masuda, his finance, actress and model Sachiko "Judy" Fukumoto (30) has announced via Twitter.
This is what ISSA will no longer be getting up close and personal with.
Fukumoto was born in America and brought up in Okinawa, hence her slightly non-Japanese (but very lovely) style.
The affair, which cost Yuka Masuda her job in AKB48, presumably can continue now and ISSA can console himself with Yuka's younger ...
One of the Japanese tabloids has claimed that controversial and outspoken Osaka major Toru Hashimoto had an affair with a hostess between 2006 and 2007.
Hashimoto (below, left) has since admitted his guilt in the latest scandal in his career, which has seen him attack tattooed city workers, teachers, puppet theatre and anyone he didn't agree with in his notorious unapologetically brusque style.
"Well, first I've got to explain to my wife. There's a massive 'penalty' waiting for me at home," he joked at a press conference.
As we've seen before, adultery is no biggie in Japan, ...
A recent survey of 200 women aged between 20 and 39 who are having affairs yielded some interesting results.
76 women said they started their affair following work drinks or eating out with their colleagues, while only 44 revealed it was the more conventional course of becoming closer by working together. 16 said it was from consulting about their job -- i.e. asking the man what they should do about a problem, like a father figure.
Over half of the respondents said their partner worked on the same floor as them or was even closer in the office, thus probably leading to some awkward ...
Mieko Tanaka, the sexy young politician in the ruling DNP party, has been caught with her lover visiting a hotel.
Not such a big deal -- after all, even politicians have needs -- except that her man, a senior civil servant, is married, according to the Shukan Shinshio, published on June 14th. Adultery in Japan is often forgivable if you are a man -- but the women are not so lucky, and can end up tainted with the brush of promiscuity or the temptress.
After a roadside kiss near Osaki Station in Tokyo, the pair headed for some no doubt more advanced stages of foreplay in a hotel. Tanaka ...
One of the most successful Japanese models, Ai Tominaga, has been betrayed by her boyfriend, the actor Shun Shioya. He gave a tearful confirmation to tabloid rumors that he had an affair, with chef Makie Sonoyama.
It was only just revealed that the celebrities were a pair when it was reported that he was two-timing her with Sonoyama. Apparently sleeping with the biggest international Japanese fashion model just wasn't enough for our chum Shun. Cue tears and the customary apologies before the cameras. He also said that Ai had thumped him when he told her!
For me, Ai Tominaga is ...
Ichiro Ozawa, the man once certain to be Prime Minister before scandal forced him to resign, has been found innocent on fraud charges. No one seems convinced by the verdict, including us, which is why we couldn't resist posting this story currently running wild in the tabloids.
According to Shukan Bungei, Ozawa apparently had an affair with a television reporter he met in 1989 at a party. In summer 1990 she then gave birth to his love child!
The tabloid uses as its source an acquaintance of the mother, whom she supposedly confessed to about the paternity of her son.
We cannot ...
Adultery is often far more tolerated among couples in Japan than in other countries. Especially older women accept that their husbands will shop around occasionally.
When the shoe is on the other foot, though, things work out differently...
A Kanagawa public official, Gen Noda (47), recently suspected his wife was having an affair. No man to take this lying down, he began following his wife.
Soon enough he rumbled her entering a "hotel" with another man, a company employee. Despite the flagrant adulterer's younger age, the cuckold wouldn't stand for this effrontery -- and promptly ...
Famous Hong Kong actress Carina Lau is the subject of HK gossip columns at the moment, following sightings of her in intimate dinner meetings with mega rich entrepreneur Jing Bai Fu.
Carina is of course one half of a major HK celebrity couple -- her husband is the lovely Tony Leung, who she married in 2008 in a lavish ceremony. Is Carina having an affair? Is such a thing even thinkable, let alone possible?!
Whereas us Japanese tend to me more forgiving when it comes to adultery (though not drugs), the HK media is pretty moralistic.
Aside from her famous love life and career, ...
