Korea Girl - Song Hye Gyo

Song Hye-kyo (born November 22, 1981; registered on February 26, 1982) is a South Korean model and actress. While getting her arts degree at Sejong University (did not finish degree), Song made her debut by winning the Grand Prize in model search in SunKyung Smart and starring in a Sunday morning drama called Happy Morning (KBS, 1996). She starred in number of hit dramas including All In, Autumn Fairy Tale, and Full House. Due to her popularity she can be seen frequently on advertisements when she is not acting. She is currently signed to the Sidus HQ label.

Song debuted in the entertainment industry when she won the Grand Prize in SunKyung Smart, a school uniform company in 1996 when she was finishing her third year in junior high school. It was not long until she starred in her first drama, Happy Morning. Since then, she would continued to star in a string of various dramas and sitcoms but it wasn't until the KBS drama Autumn Fairy Tale in 2000 with Song Seung-hun and Won Bin that Song rose to fame throughout Asia. The show quickly became popular as it depicted a tragic love story between three people.

Song's popularity continued to climb when she played a leading role in the poker drama All In, alongside Lee Byung-Hun. The drama was so popular that the title of the show itself entered everyday vocabulary in Korea. The two lead-actors were soon involved in a relationship off-camera which gave both of them heavy publicity. Rumours regarding their possible marriage circulated; the relationship, however, survived for less than a year.

Another big break for Song came when she played a major role in the very popular TV comedy series Full House in 2004. Another popular star Rain co-starred in the drama. They were rumored to be a couple, but they denied it and said they were just good friends. After the success of Full House, Song starred in the movie, My Girl And I, which was critically panned by audience and critics alike. Song went on a 2-year hiatus afterward, returning to acting to star in her second film, the movie-version of Hwang Jin-i, which was released in South Korea on June 6, 2007, as the kisaeng Hwang Jin-i. Though promoted heavily, it fared poorly at the box office.

Sandra Dewi - Bantah gambar bugil nya

Koran Jawa Pos edisi Selasa 12 Maret 2008 memuat artikel tentang Sandra Dewi yang membantah gambar-gambar bugil yang beredar di dunia maya (internet)

berikut ini petikan dari artikel tsb :

Foto rekayasa tersebar, Dewi Sandra Banjir Rezeki

Jakarta- Sandra Dewi sedih.
Peredaran foto-foto bugil berwajah dirinya di internet menjadi penyebab. Berkali-kali dia menegaskan bahwa foto itu hanya rekayasa orang tak bertanggung jawab. Namun berbagai komentar negatif tetap mengalir kepada gadis cantik yang namanya sedang naik daun itu.

Merasa tak kuat terus menerus menerima fitnah tersebut, Sandra pun mengadakan jumpa pers di Eurokafe,Belezza, kemarin(17/3). Difasilitasi rumah produksi Multivison Plus, bintang sinetron Cinta Indah itu mendatangkan pakar telematika Roy Suryo.

Dari hasil penyelidikan, Roy berhasil mengungkap wajah asli si pemilik tubuh yang berpose tanpa busana tersebut. Tapi, identitas perempuan itu tidak bisa diungkap. Sementara, pelakunya juga belum ditemukan. "Yang terpenting, foto itu bukan Sandra. Ini rekayasa komputer," jelas Roy.

Sandra menambahkan, seseorang pernah mengirimkan e-mail dan mengaku bersalah atas peredaran foto itu. Namun, sang pelaku mengaku tidak bermaksud jahat. "Dia bilang iseng saja. Dalam hati, saya mengatakan bahwa keisengan kamu ini sudah meremukkan dan menghancurkan saya," ungkapnya.

Saat jumpa pers, Sandra sempat menangis. Dia menyatakan tidak siap dan sangat terpukul dengan kejadian tersebut. "Untung, keluarga percaya sama aku. Tapi mereka juga pasti mendapat tekanan dari orang lain," tuturnya.

Selama beberapa minggu setelah foto itu tersebar, Sandra berdoa. "Tapi, mungkin ada hikmahnya. jelang Paskah (21/3), saya jadi ingat Tuhan yesus pernah 40 hari tidak makan dan tiga kali dicoba oleh iblis. Tuhan yesus juga di cambuk dan disalib karena fitnah. Jadi saya anggap saja ujiannya seperti itu," terang perempuan kelahiran Pangkal pinang , 18 Agustus 1983 , tersebut.

Sandra tak menyangka akan menghadapi cobaan itu ditengah perjalanan karir. Apalgi , sejak kecil, dia mengaku sudah berusaha menjadi orang yang menaati perintah Tuhan. Tafsirannya saat itu adalah tidak pergi dugem, tidak merokok, tidak pacaran sampai benar-benar dewasa.

Dengan melakukan itu semua, Sandra berharap bisa menjadi orang yang disayang Tuhan.
"Kalau sudah disayang Tuhan, doa kita akan mudah dikabulkan. Dan aku merasa 95 persen doaku sudah terkabul," ujarnya.

Contohnya, ketika dia berharap bisa bermain film, tawaran datang. Kala Sandra ingin bermain sinetron, Tuhan mengabulkan. Sampai-sampai, kata Sandra, ketika ingin memiliki mobil baru, Tuhan mengijinkannya. "Semua dikasih (oleh Tuhan, Red)," ucap pemain film Quickie Express tersebut.

Namun, bukan hidup namanya jika merasakan keindahan saja. Sandra menganggap, peredaran foto itu sebagai bagian pahityang harus dijalani.

Untung , menurut Sandra, foto tersebut tidak membuat kepercayaan masyarakat, khususnya klien, sebaliknya, Sandra ketiban rejeki nomplok.

"Satu hari setelah foto itu tersebar, saya mendapatkan sejumlah tawaran main iklan. Kalau ga salah, ada tiga. Sejumlah skrip film dan sinetron juga sudah ada dirumah saya," paparnya. ( gen/ayi)

Sandra Dewi - foto bugil di internet

Sandra Dewi dengan santai menanggapi foto bugilnya yang beredar di internet karena memang ia tak pernah berpose seperti itu. Bintang sinetron 'Cinta Indah' tersebut pun memaafkan orang yang menyebarkan foto-foto itu.

“Mungkin orang iseng aja, pikirannya lagi ngeres. Aku maafin aja,” tutur Sandra ramah saat dihubungi detikhot melalui telepon Minggu (9/3/2008).

Sandra mengakui kalau wajah dalam foto itu memang dirinya. Namun tubuh yang bugil tersebut bukanlah badannya.

Menurut analisanya, foto wajahnya yang dimuat dalam foto tersebut diambil saat ia mengisi acara di mall Ciputra (Citraland-red), Jakarta Barat. Acara tersebut berlangsung belum lama ini. Ia menjadi bintang tamu untuk sebuah acara kecantikan kulit.

“Itu foto aslinya pas aku ngisi acara di Citraland. Aku pakai baju hijau, bandana putih. Itu di cropping, muka aku, tinggal cocokin aja, aku pas di Citraland pake bandana putih, inget banget,” jelasnya panjang lebar.

Gambar dibawah ini ketemu saat gue lagi coba jelajah di dunia maya , so bisa dipastikan berita yg beredar memang ga benar dan semuanya adalah foto hasil editan.
