LPGA Champ Michelle Wie
I met Michelle Wie at the Grace Korean Church in Fullerton, CA, many thanks to Asiance for hooking me up with the interview. I have been an admirer of Wie’s for a long time and actually attend the exact same church where the interview was being conducted. Michelle Wie will turn 21 in three weeks.
I remember her as the little girl from Hawaii who started getting headlines when she was 10 and actually winning local tournaments about the same time. On Oct. 11 she can have her first legal beer.

Jay Sean arrives at Universal Studios promptly on time. While I continue to finish setting up, he flips through a magazine waiting patiently for me. He is wearing a blue button down, long sleeved shirt with the sleeves tidily rolled up to his elbows. His shirt opened just enough to expose the wife beater he’s wearing underneath, paired with neat, dark jeans.
