BoA, 22, is scheduled to perform on the Main Stage of the San Francisco Pride to be held in San Francisco June 28 along with Solange Knowles, sister of Beyonce, a top American R&B singer, and rock band Cliks.

In an effort to spur her U.S. activity, BoA, has signed a contract with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the No. 1 Hollywood entertainment agency.

Under the contract, within North America, CAA is representing the 22-year-old in all areas including music, film and merchandising. The agency is mulling a U.S. tour in the late second half of the year.

And in its third episode, Nichkhun of 2PM will play a boyfriend role to a girl who is close to his ideal type. Nichkhun had told the program that he prefers an older or same age girl whom he can talk freely with. He likes a girl who eats well and can make him crave for food just watching she eats. On a date, he just wants to go to a theme park and holds her hands while skating on an ice skating rings together.

However, Mnet channel has been bombarded with hundred of phone calls from Nichkhun fans after the preview of the 3rd episode, where he is seen having a date scenes just like he had pictured, was showed to public.

For some reason this always brings me back to the Ssangchu couple!!!! Older and younger couple...especially if the younger one is the guy. I DO remember that Nickhun did say that he likes someone like Hwangbo...or was it that he liked Hwangbo. I think it's him liking Hwangbo! I mean...who doesn't? Lol, Hwangbo...what an idol killer!

A production team associate said of the plan, "We wanted to cast off the existing innocent and pure image by creating an inventive and elegant atmosphere."

I think that Song Hye Kyo is so hot at whatever she does! She is so talented and she looks good with the innocent or the bad look. I really like her a lot and her acting is incredible! I'm currently finishing up Worlds Within or The World They Live In and I'm enjoying it a lot! Especially with HyunBin in it!

The make believe couple were in the spotlight on the once popular show "We Got Married." They seemed to have good chemistry together for the most part, Son Dambi seemed to be quite abusive of Marco at times.

The role in Dream called for someone with fighting skills and Marco supposedly is an expert in martial arts, so he is a perfect match for the role. Dream's main cast will consist of Son Dambi, Kim Bum, Joo Jin Mo, and now Marco, which is an all star lineup. Dream is scheduled to start filming next month and will air in the late fall of 2009.
