Thousands of screaming fans braved the rain last night to catch a glimpse of their favorite music stars walking down the red carpet for the 18th annual Golden Melody Award held at the Taipei Arena.
Taiwan's Jolin Tsai opened the show with an elaborate and "flaming" performance of the hit song from her album "Diva." Variety show queen Momoko Tao and former news anchor turned entertainer Patty Hou teamed up this year to host the event.

One of the most anticipated moments in the event was to see how Hou and Tsai would interact on stage. Hou and Tsai are rumored to be former "love rivals" because they both dated Taiwan's R&B prince Jay Chou. It is believed that Chou cheated on Tsai in order to be with Hou.

While it is indisputable that Tsai is one of the most phenomenal dancers and that her songs are not half bad, her fashion taste, however, has at times seemed somewhat questionable. Last night, Tsai appeared to be shrink-wrapped in what could only be described as purple plastic that accentuated her reportedly surgically enhanced breasts, and cinched her waist to a circumference that made the proportions of her body similar to that of a Barbie doll.
