In the mix this week …

A FUG SUPREME Fashion police website Go Fug Yourself has crowned the incomprehensible Bai Ling as this year’s Fug Madness Champion for outfits that range from Band-Aids wishing the world a Happy Chinese New Year to a big orange jumpsuit and the ubiquitous nip slips. We really have to concur with the judges on this one: “It’s impossible to deny that the title sits well on Bai’s semi-nude shoulders. Her fug reigns supreme because it is supreme.” And now we wait with bated breath for Ms. Ling’s response on her Dada-esque blog (oh, please do it iambic pentameter, please do it in iambic pentameter!).

IDLE DREAMS So the little Filipina who could, couldn’t. Ramiele Malubay came onto this season of “American Idol” with big dreams of becoming the first Asian-American winner, and some sassy style to boot. But last week, America decided to crush those dreams of that powerhouse voice in a pint-sized package. Okay, sure, she didn’t have the show-whoremanship of some of the other contestants, but no one who saw how choked up she got when she realized her trip down the yellow brick road was over can deny that she made some great, albeit heartbreaking television. Drink it up, America, drink up her salty tears. Jerks.

HOT COLOR THIS SEASON: WHITE! According to Gatecrasher, Asian-American actress Nan Zhang, who played token non-WASP sidekick Kati Farkas on “Gossip Girl,” was elbowed off the CW hit show by a prima donna co-star. Officially, Zhang is leaving to go back to school (Brown University), but the skinny is that actress Leighton Meester (aka dethroned queen-bee Blair Waldorf) wanted none of Nan. So the primetime sudser lost an Asian-American actress either because she’s too smart or too hot. Either way the show sucks a little harder now. xoxo.

SAYONARA AZN America’s only all-Asian all-access television network tuned out for good on April 9. According to Angry Asian Man, the network capsized in the rough seas of cable competition, citing difficulty in wetting the interest of advertisers, or even distributors for that matter. In its place, expect some sort of Rachael Ray craptacular, or maybe another network devoted to fly fishing.

JACKIE CHAN FLYING HIGH Seriously? After classics (ahem) like “The Tuxedo” or “Rush Hour 3,” some of us wondered if his star power had waned. Fear not, it seems the elder statesman of action is still a big hit with flight attendants. TMZ caught some flygirls—sans wheeling carts and salty snacks—who seemed pretty eager to, um, stow his luggage. •
