Last week, former gravure idol Minako Komukai was arrested on charges of possession and use of stimulants. She denied the accusations at the time, but police have now revealed that her drug tests came up positive.

Komukai was dismissed by her agency last September due to constant problems with her physical and mental health. She currently has no permanent address.

SHOCK EYE (32), a member of reggae group Shonannokaze, has just gotten married to a younger woman. He updated his blog on the group's official website, revealing that he and his wife had been dating for the past nine years. They formally registered their marriage on Friday.

The latest issue of FRIDAY included an article reporting that Ai Kago (20) has a new boyfriend. The magazine featured pictures of her with actor Hidejiro Mizumoto (33) at a yakiniku restaurant. She was also seen entering an apartment with him.

Kago and Mizumoto worked together in the upcoming movie "Benten-dori no Hitobito," which opens this summer.

Kago's management has denied the rumor, however, stating the two are not dating. Kago also addressed the issue on her own blog on Friday, apologizing for the trouble caused by the rumor.

She stated that before her comeback, she often sought advice from the psychic Yoshiko Shimo, who is Mizumoto's mother. Kago further explained that Mizumoto attended to her when Shimo was unavailable.

Popular model Jessica Michibata (24) is rumored to be in a long-distance relationship with British F1 driver Jenson Button (29). This week's issue of FRIDAY revealed that the two had a date in London.

The couple were seen coming out of a Japanese restaurant on the 20th, the day after Button's birthday. They were then seen getting into a car, smiling and holding hands.

Michibata's agency declined to comment on her private life.

Last June, Michibata was reported to be dating musician Shinichi Osawa (also known as Mondo Grosso), but FRIDAY's article quoted a source saying that the two have already broken up.

Earlier this month, newspapers had reported that pop duo CHAGE and ASKA were planning to disband, but their agency denied it at the time and said that things would soon be clarified. Now, it has been officially announced that the pair are going on an indefinite hiatus.

CHAGE and ASKA last performed together in December 2007. Last year, they began focusing on their solo careers, leading them to consider permanently breaking up, but they ultimately decided to just suspend their activities for the time being.

Their best album, "CHAGE and ASKA VERY BEST NOTHING BUT C&A," goes on sale February 4.
