No more Filipino maids for you, Jacky Cheung!


In what sounds like a great set-up for a Hong Kong movie, pop star Jacky Cheung has been blacklisted by the Filipino authorities and prevented from hiring Filipino home help. The move is in response to the star's alleged turnover of 21 maids in 3 years.

Apparently, one of the reasons why so many maids leave the Cheung household is the large number of stairs in his house (a problem very few HK residents have to deal with). Jacky has had to draft in friends and relatives to help with his household chores.

Full article.

In the movie version of this story, lots of funny shenanigans would probably ensue, and he would probably fall in love with one of the new maids and then they both go on to win the International Maid Championships. Or something.

That would make a great film for sure, stupid but definitely watchable! I can't believe he's been blacklisted - he could have hired one for each day of the week and that way they wouldn't get do upset with all the mess, they'd only have a days worth of crap to deal with.
