Yao Ming Says No to Drugs, Hollywood Fame

Yao Ming has rejected Brett Ratner's offer to re-enact Kareem Abdul Jabbar's "Hakim" in Ratner's Rush Hour 3 re-interpretation of a fight scene between Jabbar and Bruce Lee, co-opted in 1978 by Robert Clouse in Game of Death. Chris Tucker was to be the "Bruce Lee" character.

China's Ministry of Public Relations is disappointed in their single client's decision, but relieved to forego what would surely have been a long strain of drug abuse cover-ups, lurid affairs and infamous Hollywood murders.

Isn't this sort of old news? Ah, whatever.

Is Yao ever going to copy Shaq and go into the movies? Too bad he turned down his first opportunity.
