I’m told … a story in a local Chinese newspaper on Sunday about a man who spent HK$18 million (roughly US$2.3 million) at auction to get the license plate “18″. The man isn’t famous, merely someone who owns factories in China where he likely pays his workers the equivalent of US$100 per month. The kicker to the story? His car is a HK$300,000 Mini Cooper. No word on how much this man donated to charity last year.

I’m told … people sitting around in dai pai dongs and cha chan tengs are gossiping endlessly about Edison and the women in the photos. Stories overheard in these places include the one about a certain billionaire sharing a three-way with Joey Yung and her mother. And the one about a certain billionaire shoving a loaf of French bread into one of Gillian’s orifices (not her mouth) and her needing to go to the hospital afterwards to get all the crumbly bits removed. (I emphasize – these are stories overheard in restaurants only.)

Hmmmm …. some commenters seem to think that by posting a specific name I am letting myself in for trouble. Even though I would think that I am beneath that person’s notice. But no need to bring the wrath of the emperor down on little old me, so I’ve made some edits to the preceding paragraph.
