[Tabloid] BIG STARS, BAD REPS 2

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

It's from the stupid, the elctric new paper.

HONG Kong fans may adore Ayumi Hamasaki, but not two of the country's top hotels.


Both have blacklisted the 29-year-old J-pop queen after two unpleasant experiences, said Japan's Flash magazine.

When she was in Hong Kong in 2002 to shoot a pictorial book, Ayumi apparently organised wild parties in her hotel suite.

She even broke a glass panel inside the room and refused to pay - until her record label had to step in and apologise.

More recently in December, when she was in Hong Kong for the premiere of the Takeshi Kaneshiro film Confession Of Pain, she stayed in another hotel and created more ruckus with more parties in her suite. It apparently earned her another blacklist.

That's not all. Ayumi, who is arguably Japan's top-earning songbird, is also known to be an extravagant diva who can pay for a spanking new five-storey bungalow worth one billion yen ($12.7m) in cold hard cash.

When in Singapore to attend the MTV Asia Awards in 2002, she splurged on a $1,000 lobster and crab feast at Newton Circus for her entourage of 20.

Not only does she travel with 10 bodyguards, but she once flew her five pet dogs with her to Korea for a job, together with their own entourage of 12 pet groomers.

Also, she reportedly employs five personal masseurs to take charge of different parts of her aching body.

And Ayumi can turn nasty at times.

While shooting in New York last year, she reportedly fell out with a hair stylist and insisted on this person leaving her entourage.

As all flights were full, she herself forked out more than 10 million yen ($127,000) to charter a plane to fly the stylist back to Japan.

What else is a star as big as her gonna do with all that money?

Kidding, of course.

I really don't know what to say. ... Wow. (?)

If there were a whole bunch of these articles always coming up in non-tabloid Japanese press, I'd believe it most likely.

[andre2907]

I believe in Japanese tabloids. With all the VERY VERY strict privacy laws in there and the power and monopoly of agencies, magazines won't publish any type of ***** because it may be soooo expensive. BUBKA, for example, which was considered one of the most reliable gossip mags, was sued by lots of agencies and now is in big trouble because of the privacy laws...

I don't see whats not believable with this article. Alot of celebrities act over the top.

[truehappiness]

The breaking the window thing I think might be a rumor, but the rest is highly understandable..

She did spend like 300k++++USD in like, 3 hours.. LOL

[ayu_fan929]

Is there a link?

[Coelacanth]

The Electric New Paper is Singapore.

I found the article funny.

The website sucks too, they have Ayu's picture in Chow Yun Fat's article and Chow in Ayu's article.

[the angel song]

I really would like to see this room-trashing rumor in articles that don't come off as exaggerated. It could have all happened, that's believable, but it's so one-sided, it seems it's been twisted into a vicious little article just to be cruel. :/

[Chandrachan]

wow...well Ayu does have alot of money...to believe or not to believe?

[Smart Computer]

I don't think this article is real anyway, it just a rumored in my opinion... I don't believe ayu doning this such a thing!

[Ayumiko]

ooh yer..omg i cant believe Singapore, my own country..omg O.O

[AyuGAME]

yeah...another gossip

I wouldn't be surprised, as she is THE diva and pop queen in Japan. Articles like this have circulated for years and I wouldn't be surprised. People with a lot of money usually have the ego to match. Parts of the article ring as true: doggie pampering, large entourage and big feasts, masseurs. Also, being blacklisted from a hotel is not uncommon in the entertainment world.

I find the blacklisting thing the weirdest... she was in Hong Kong for what, one, two nights? Who would she party with? Her staff? o.O Maybe breaking something is true, but I don't think she herself or she plus her staff could go so drunk to make enough mess to get blacklisted...

As for masseurs, I bet they're not the most expensive thing to have, and seeing how she basically all over the place all the time, it's no wonder she wants something to let the pain go and she can definately afford herself five people to give her that.

Large entourage - seeing how much money she has, she probably buys tons of random crap, and since she's never home, she wants it all with her 24/7, so no wonder there has to be people to carry everything for her.

Feasts - they're probably the cheapest thing in her finances and I think it's fine if it's also for her staff...

And doggies? Nothing new. Shoot'em, if you don't like'em

And what is a bungalow anyway? WhyTF would she need one? For 12 million dollars?...

Oh, is it like those houses on water in luxury ressorts?

[alternarist]

omg!! a disgrace to singaporeans. i dont think this is true. i feel that they were a little bit exaggerating. i mean.. we have seen ayu behave normally in special discs before. she is definitely not like what is described..

[Bruised.Sapphire]

Sounds just like Ayu. Wild parties, giants feasts, and her little doggies. She's such a diva. But I guess you can't help it when you've got that much money.

[ayuayu]

this article starts out about her hotel blacklisting which who knows is true and then talks about how much money she has and how she chooses to spend it?! like... who cares. so she has money for a bungalow and a crab feast... does that make her a bad person? cause the way they say it is as if it's a bad thing. some rich ppl buy their own island and that doesn't make them a bad person. and ANYONE can be nasty at times. who knows what the hairstylist did anyways. it couldve been really bad... or not.

if i was rich i'd buy myself a pool full of ice cream ;p OH YEAH!

[oro77]

Ayu got money, she should enjoy, especially she does not have a lot of free time...
