Ziyi snubbed by Orchard Rd shop: Zhang Ziyi, who was in Singapore over the Hari Raya Puasa weekend, was refused entry into a Hilton Shopping Gallery boutique on Orchard Road. She was with celebrity hairstylist David Gan when the incident happened. Ziyi was in Singapore for a shopping trip after a three-day shoot for National Geographic in the Indonesian part of Borneo.

FIRST, Hong Kong chief executive Donald Tsang was turned away by a bak kut teh stall in Singapore last year.

Now international movie star and Zhang Ziyi (right) has been told the same thing by a shop: Sorry, we’re closed.

Ziyi was refused entry into a high-end boutique while shopping in Singapore over the Hari Raya Puasa weekend.

Celebrity hairstylist David Gan, her friend, mentioned this in a blog entry on 23 Sep.

He wrote that around 6pm, a shop in Hilton Shopping Gallery on Orchard Road refused to admit him and Ziyi because it was closing time.

Ziyi’s mother was with them, but not the star’s fiance, Israeli tycoon Vivi Nevo.

Most of the shops in Hilton Shopping Gallery close between 6 and 7pm, unlike other shops in Orchard Road that stay open till 9.30pm.
