35-year-old talento Fumie Hosokawa, who is often referred to as the "original" kyonyu (huge breasts) idol, may be publishing her first completely nude pictures in her next photobook, which goes on sale on August 20. Earlier this month, she traveled to Saipan for the photo shoot. However, the final decision of whether the pictures are included in the photobook will be made by Hosokawa herself.

The book is also expected to include pictures of Hosokawa in a wedding dress. In April, tabloids reported that she was seen getting married at a church in Saipan to the owner of a real estate firm, but the man already had a wife. Hosokawa denied the claims, insisting that the scene was staged for the photobook.

Actor Takayuki Takuma is directing his first film, while also handling the script and playing the lead role. The movie, tentatively titled "Dousoukai," is scheduled for release next spring.

Initially, Takuma was chosen only as the screenwriter for the film. (Using the name Mikio Satake, he has previously written scripts for both the stage and screen, including the recent "Hana Yori Dango" drama series and its sequel.) However, the producers later suggested that he take the helm as director, and he agreed. Then during casting, he was also chosen to play the starring role.

"Dousoukai" depicts the story of a couple who were once high school classmates. Takuma plays the husband, a movie producer. When his wife (Hiromi Nagasaku) is diagnosed with an illness leaving her only three months to live, he decides to put together a class reunion for her sake.

Filming began on the 3rd of this month.

According to Sports Hochi, it was just revealed that actor Ko Takasugi and actress Shoko Takada have been divorced since April 2006. The two married in December 2003.
