The guys of Wong Fu Productions get fancy and very full at the Plate by Plate food benefit. They show off their culinary knowledge or lack thereof, while their palates dance with the flavors of gourmet food. Unfortunately, we can’t taste the food in this delicious episode of Wong Fu Weekends. They also run in to a couple they’ve done music videos for David Choi (Won’t Even Start, That Girl, By My Side) and Sam Kang (Red Light)

The Jubilee Project released their latest video “Why I Sing“. They produced this video to raise awareness and money for HepB Free with the help of the band “Rooftop Pursuit”. Hepatitis B affects 1 in 10 Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Influenced by Korean Dramas, the music video is about love’s inevitable let downs. Relationships don’t always have a fairytale ending. It’s also a story about love that is unconditional; despite the bitter realities it faces, love is patient, love is kind, and love always perseveres.
The Jubliee Project offers three ways to help fight Hepatitis B:
1. Spread the love. Every time this video is viewed in the month of April, sponsors will each donate a penny to the organization.
2. Become a sponsor by emailing project.jubilee@gmail.com and pledge to donate 1 penny per view in the month of April (remember, you can cap your donation).
3. Download the song for a donation of your choice below:

During the past week, R&B singer Ne-Yo has been spreading love through music in Japan. While some stars have cancelled tour dates amidst the destruction from the Japanese quake and tsunami, the part Chinese singer is doing charity concerts and raising money for the victims. He’s got donation boxes throughout venues along with selling special wristbands with all proceeds going to those who need it. During his performances in Japan, Ne-Yo busts out some Japanese. The fans in Japan really love this entertainer. Ne-Yo states that “The power of music breaks down barriers, be it language barrier, be it race barrier, whatever the case may be. I don’t think people understand how powerful music actually is. You can spread all kinds of messages through music. You can spread hatred through music, you can spread prejudice through music, but you can also and absolutely spread love through music and I think that’s what’s absolutely called for in this time of crisis. So that being said, spread love through music.”
In his Day 3 footage, he talks about his concerns about radiation as he performs at Yokohama Arena before 10,000 fans. Props to Ne-Yo for doing his thing for Japan.
Also see other ways others are helping out Japan including George Takei, Ann Curry, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, and other Asian Americans/Canadians.
