» The popularity of the first season of the Mint and Mew mini series led to its second installation of Mint and Mew To be Continued. In a nutshell, it's a comedic story of a gay man who falls in love with a very straight man. Ben Chalatid and Somchai Khemklad play the lead characters of lovesick gay man and ultra macho object of desire respectively.

» I still remember the day Bodyslam walked into the Post's offices to promote their eponymous debut album in 2002. I was a rookie, and so were Artiwara Kongmalai, Tanadol Changsawek and Rattapol Phanchet. As I recall, they were awkward, gangly and didn't quite grasp the entire concept of a press tour.
