I see her all the time on that dumb Unicef video, and lately advertising the life-affirming benefits of shopping in HK at the AE stations. How did somebody so homely became so famous in a culture obsessed with cute?

come on. if you see someone cute on the UNICEF video, would you even give them a single penny. and again, who are they targeting? do you think the student who gets on the flight every holiday would give them a few dollars instead of saving it up for the next NDS game?

I saw Leon Lai at least 10 years ago flying HKG-LAX. I believe he was on his way to shoot a music video in Mexico. He was obviously in F, and looking like a star that he should with sunglasses and leather jacket, he stood inside the jetway after the plane landed to wait for his assistants.
Not on CX but on some transatlantic flight, my friend had The Edge, guitarist of U2, and Gwen Stefani, lead singer of No Doubt, on the same flight one time.
Getting even further from topic, I even bumped into Myolie Wu (Wu Hung Yee) in a vineyard of Italy in October 2005 while TVB was shooting a program. I did take a CX flight to FCO though.

Backstreet Boys et al
About a year ago there was some big concert in Manila I think and the Backstreet boys were on the midnight lAX-HKG flight taking up all the seats in F except mine. They were well behaved and it was interesting watching them interact and the group dynamic.

Mrs christep seemed to get rather flustered about bumping into someone by the name of Josh Hartnett on a CX MNL-HKG flight a couple of years ago.
