Leah Dizon announces unplanned pregnancy & marriage

Leah Dizon

American gravure idol Leah Dizon has announced that she had a shotgun wedding last week:

Dizon’s husband is reportedly a Japanese stylist that she met through work. They met about a year ago when he was involved in a shoot for one of Dizon’s CD jackets. They became friends after Dizon began consulting with him about work, and it developed into a relationship. The man is said to be older than the idol, but still in his twenties.

The couple recently discovered that Dizon is pregnant, and they decided to get married. A press conference with more details is being held on Wednesday.

出来ちゃった結婚。
Japan really needs more widespread use of the pill/patches/iud/etc but with 少子化 I doubt the government will be very open to it…

What career. She’s done.

Does anyone else find the look on her face kind of scary? Almost as if she’s there, but not really? I remember when Dizon came to Japan, she seemed pretty normal but with very little grasp of Japanese, and now she seems like some kind of idol robot.

I feel sorry for the guy who has to marry someone who had it full force tons of times by other men much more then he’ll ever have.

You’re thinking of AV stars…gravure idols don’t have sex in their videos or photobooks, they just do risque poses in bikinis and other clothing.

Simon

You’re thinking about what gravure idols do *in public*.

I think Jax was talking about the casting couch and the behind-the-scenes work.

Oh no not again…

Another shotgun wedding! I wonder how long those 2 kids will stay together. I feel bad for the baby.

She really looks pretty uncomfortable in that picture.

That is her normal “deer in the headlights” expression. It is the only one she seems capable of. I suspect it is caused by a lobotomy plus too much botox.

lol

She looks like a man in that picture
