Gallery: Historic boarding schools seek top UNESCO marks

by Cin Woo Lee

Seowons were the dominant educational institutions of Korea's final dynasty -- the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897). Privately owned, exclusively male, and Confucian, these elite boarding schools of yesteryear were the gathering place of the top budding intellects in the Hermit Kingdom. 

With such a high concentration of the nation's cleverest minds, seowons became very powerful, with its aristocratic members enjoying privileges like tax breaks. It was a recipe for corruption, and seowons became a source of political cliques and party squabbles.

During the resign of King Gojong, the regent Heungsun Daewonkoon issued a decree that abolished hundreds of seowons, excepting the few that were officially recognized by the king.

Today they are all relics.

But if that sounds sad, there's a bright side. A whopping 637 seowons are still standing today, and the Korean media recently made much of the fact that nine of the 637 were included on UNESCO's tentative list of potential World Heritage sites earlier this month. The nine seowons may be relics, but at least they'll be relevant relics.

Los Angeles

I'm here! I'm here! And I saw my first gang-banger get arrested yesterday so I feel like a total Angeleno.

I'm getting ready to go to the gym (again, like a total Angeleno!) so I will update later about my run-ins with Alexander Skarsgard, Pauly Shore, and Jeremy or Jason London (I'm not sure which one it was and seeing if I could force him to do drugs to find out seemed unfair. Besides, as it turned out, he was telling the truth?)

Anyhoo, I've got a lot to tell you about gardening! (Did you know if you get dirt wet it turns into mud? Yuck.)

And bumpers! (They don't bump off anything... they go, "Scraaaaaaaatch!")

And there's probably more but, again, I have to go because I have to get to the gym!

Selena Gomez in Cosmo: Revealing!


The March issue of Cosmopolitan features an especially revealing side to Selena Gomez, and we aren't just talked about her cleavage-baring photo:

Selena Gomez Cosmo Cover

Inside the magazine, Gomez isn't shy about expressing her feelings for Justin Bieber, saying:

“I’m just like every 19-year-old girl. If you’re in love, you’re in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible. I’m fortunate that I’ve found someone who has that philosophy."

He also has the means to make those movie dates a tad abnormal. One time, Bieber rented out an entire basketball arena for the couple.

But while Justin is apparently an ideal boyfriend, Gomez tells the publication that she once "wasted" a year of her life with someone who was anything but.

“I was in a relationship previously where I had to hide everything and it wasn’t my choice. I had to go through different exits and take separate cars and do the craziest things, and it just really wasn’t worth it."

Hmmm... two famous Selena exes come to mind: Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas. To which of these attractive young studs do you think Gomez is referring?

Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire Get Ready to Welcome Leo Down Under

Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire popped up at Fox Studios for The Great Gatsby in Sydney, Australia today. Tobey was sporting facial stubble while Carey had a smile on her face as she chatted on the phone. Their costar, Leonardo DiCaprio, wasn't spotted with them Down Under, but he's apparently on his way after wrapping up a trip to Mexico with girlfriend Erin Heatherton. The couple's getaway meant that Leo missed the SAG Awards, where he was nominated for his leading role in J. Edgar. He hasn't skipped out on all of award season though, since he did attend the Golden Globes and the Critics' Choice Awards. Carey took part in her own red carpet fun this month when she joined Michael Fassbender in London for the Film Critics' Circle Awards.

The Couple That Games Together, Stays Together

gaming1_wide.jpg
Who knew Christina Hendricks was a gamer? Of all the beautiful and relaxing spas, lounges and shopping boutiques available at the Sundance Film Festival this year, Christina was hanging out with her hubby, Geoffrey Arend, at the Nintendo 3DS Experience Lounge - playing with the new system!

Geoffrey’s new film, Save the Date, premiered at Sundance and Christina was seen by his side, supporting him throughout the festival. Geoffrey plays an indie rocker in his new film and said he’s had plenty of practice for the role after preparing for a friend’s musical cover party a few years ago. "I did Hedwig and the Angry Inch in full getup," Geoffrey said. "My wife would come home and I’d be walking around in white platform boots, just practicing, because I knew if I tried to rock out, I’d just break my ankles because I’d never walked in platform boots before. So she’d come home and I’m dressed regularly for two thirds of my body and then I've got on these white platform boots, and she’s like, 'I gotta go to bed.' ”

The platforms apparently aren’t deterring Hendricks anymore, as the couple was seen getting canoodling all over Sundance, stopping in at the Stella Artois Lounge at The Lift, Chefdance and the CAA Party throughout the week. But Christina and Geoffrey looked very at home gaming together on their own separate Nintendo devices. Isn’t a little friendly competition good for a relationship? Other stars who decided to let out their inner gaming nerd at the lounge? Michael Cera, Malin Akerman and Ty Burrell were all spotted getting their Nintendo on.

Lady Gaga’s Guy Says: "Be Normal!"

gagitk1_wide.jpg
Lady Gaga‘s boyfriend of six months, Taylor Kinney, has told her to check her alter ego at the door when she’s with him. “Gaga started living and breathing her character 24/7 because she felt her fans wanted that,” dishes a source to In Touch. Too bad Tyler, 30, didn’t.

While he held his tongue at first, he’s now comfortable enough with Gaga, 25, to make it clear he has no desire to live with a stage act. “Taylor has convinced her that he loves the real Stefani,” says an insider to In Touch. Luckily for him, the singer promised to be “more human” — after all, she wasn’t born that way!

Kelly Clarkson Announces New Single, Pays Tribute to Etta James


While Christina Aguilera had the floor during Etta James' funeral on Saturday, and used it to belt out a version of "At Last," former American Idol champion Kelly Clarkson paid tribute to the late, great artist in her own way last week, as well.

"This isn’t ‘At Last’ because everyone really covers that and so I wanted to do my favorite, actually," Kelly told a crown in New York City. "My favorite song is ‘I’d Rather Go Blind.’ So, this is for Etta!”

On Saturday night, meanwhile, during a performance in Pennsylvania, Clarkson also announced her next single, "I Forgive You." It will hit the radio any day now.

We can't wait!

SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off: Melissa McCarthy vs. Ashlee Simpson


Last night's SAG Awards brought out the best stars of film and TV.

Ashlee Simpson was there too! As you can see, Jessica's little sis is sporting short hair and a rail-thin frame these days. In a nice dress, sure, but she's looked better.

Contrast her with Melissa McCarthy, whose Bridesmaids quotes and Mike & Molly quotes leave us in stitches - and who proves you can be plus-sized and fashionable!

Which star looked better last night at the SAG Awards? Vote!

Blessed with an abundance of seafood, tropical fruits and creative cooks, there’s more to Filipino dishes than the mind-boggling balut (duck embryo).

You just have to know where to find them and how to eat them.

HGTV, LA and Dining Room Tables

I've been watching a lot of HGTV since coming to LA. My favorite shows are House Hunters and House Hunters International. There's also another show I like to watch called For Rent, but only because it makes me angry.

When it comes to apartments/homes, I think living in New York for the past eleven years has made me bitter because there was this whiny broad on For Rent a few nights ago who was looking at a huge place—A HUGE PLACE—and was like, "There's no place for a dining room table..."

B*TCH, YOU'RE LUCKY TO GET A KITCHEN IN NEW YORK.

I hated her.

Now there's some stupid lady on House Hunters who wants a townhouse with a fireplace that she can turn on with a light switch. IT HAS TO BE A LIGHT SWITCH because she doesn't want to bend down and flip a switch on the floor.

WHO DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?

Anyway, I know my LA update is WAY overdue (and truth be told I wrote a long one last week but for some reason it didn't save so I lost the whole thing and I was so angry that I just said, "Ah, f*ck it," and closed the computer instead of rewriting) but to give you a quick update, I AM SO HAPPY HERE. I MEAN, I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY. And I think living here and watching HGTV—both of these things combined—has made me realize that New York was just beating me down. I mean, the fireplace lady—yes, she's an idiot. But there's nothing wrong with wanting a dining room table. Why did I get so mad at that lady?

Since being here, at least once a day I ask myself why I have lived in New York for so long. (It's like I had Stockholm Syndrome or something.) CALIFORNIA IS AWESOME. It's like the promised land. It's sunny all the time and there are birds and flowers everywhere. I have space out here. I have a sofa on the patio out here. I HAVE A SOFA OUTSIDE. I haven't seen one rat since I've been here. But hummingbirds? THEY ZIP BY MY HEAD EVERY DAY. I am so happy.

I'm supposed to go back to New York in November, but truth be told, I'm not sure I will.

Captain America

Go see Captain America this weekend! Support our Colin!

I went to the premiere on Tuesday and it was the coolest thing ever. First, the movie is AMAZING and Chris Evans is a superstar. Second, there were so many damn people there it was insane. I have been to movie premieres in New York before and they were nothing like this. I mean, they closed down Hollywood Boulevard. I would've taken photos to show you, but the invite said to leave phones in the car. But here's a photo of me in my cool Captain America 3D glasses:

(Sit down, stop jumping around, it's an awesome picture, I know. And the quality is amazing. It's not grainy or reddish... it's perfect.) (No, it's not.)

(And you can totally see the Captain America logo on the side of the glasses.) (No, you can't.)

Anyway, Captain America is pulling a strong 71% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now so GO SEE IT! IT'S FANTASTIC!

Exclusive: Former Bachelorette Winner Jesse Csincsak’s Thoughts on Emily Maynard as the Next Bachelorette

jesseemily2.jpg
Former Bachelor winner Emily Maynard, 25, is looking for love on TV — for the second time! Production for the ABC show is heading to her hometown for filming to accommodate the mother of 6-year-old Ricki.

One former Bachelorette winner tells In Touch he firmly believes Emily is in it for the fame. “Is it me, or do you remember Emily [Maynard] going on-camera with Chris Harrison, saying how much she hated the limelight and all of its attention after her stint on The Bachelor with Brad?” Jesse Csincsak asks. “I guess everyone really does have their price.”

Rumors circulated that the blond Southern belle was dating Carolina Panthers player Jeremy Shockey following her split from Bachelor Brad Womack.

“Since Brad, she has been on dates with lots of high-profile athletes and TV guys,” claims Jesse, calling Emily a “stage 5 jersey-chaser.”

What are your thoughts on Emily as the next Bachelorette? Is she in it for the right reasons?

'So You Think You Can Dance' Choreographer Gets 10 Years In Prison

Alex Da Silva was convicted of rape and assault against former dance students.
By Katie Byrne

"So You Think You Can Dance" fans haven't seen Alex Da Silva on the show since season four back in 2008, and there's a reason the choreographer has been off the radar: He has been in jail since being charged with raping a former dance student and assaulting another one. On Friday (January 27), Da Silva was sentenced to 10 years in prison for those crimes, TMZ reports.

While the 43-year-old was accused of raping and sexually assaulting four women, he was convicted in September of only one count of rape and one count of assault with intent to commit rape; the jury was deadlocked on the other charges. He was arrested back in 2009 and charged with multiple felonies. Unable to pay the bail set at $2 million, Da Silva has remained in jail for the past two years. On top of his 10 years in prison, he is now required to register as a sex offender for life.

Da Silva appeared on seasons one through four of "So You Think You Can Dance" as a guest choreographer specializing in Salsa dancing. In season two, eventual winner Benji Schwimmer named his Da Silva-choreographed mambo as his favorite routine of the show.

After his arrest, Da Silva did an interview with SalsaFreak.com to clear his name, insisting that he had done nothing wrong with his students. "I know the truth, and I don't even know who the others are," he said, claiming to not even be acquainted with some of his accusers. "It's all a bunch of lies, and people just want to bring me down. If something like that really happened, then they should have gone to the police that night, or the same day, but it was never that way. I have too much to lose. I don't need that type of thing in my life."
