Comic Kung-fu Star Chan Digging for Disciple

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 12, 2007 -- Comedian, actor and martial artist Jackie Chan is moving into reality television. Chan is the producer and host of The Disciple, and the intent is to discover and develop new kung fu performers for film, according to Daily Variety.

"A lot of actors are good at fighting, but (their style) is not beautiful," Chan said recently in Beijing. "If you can incorporate dance with an ability to perform kung fu, that would be better."

The search for talent and the subsequent eliminations will run from March until October, and the final show will be shot near the Great Wall.

Finalists are already guaranteed, if not a movie career, at least the beginning of one; Chan is producing a film that will star the ten finalists. But there�s a great deal of competition. Already 100 thousand hopefuls have signed up to be the Disciple.

Stern said he would support Birkhead in the next round of the custody dispute, which comes Friday as a Bahamas judge considers the claim of Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur. ''I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure he gets sole custody,'' Stern said.

Stern also said Birkhead would be welcome to come over to the mansion as soon as he wanted, and for as long as he wanted, to see Dannielynn.

Arthur said she wants to be present in her granddaughter's life, but seemed appeased by the DNA results.

''I'm happy that Dannielynn will know who her real father is,'' she said.
