[JAPAN][WAI WAI] ‘Oh $#&%!’ — Foul-mouthed starlet Sawajiri’s career in crisis

In a recent Wai Wai article in regards to Sawajiri Erika on Shukan Bunshun, “Having sneaked off to London for a three month love-in with a boyfriend more than twice her age, haughty actress Erika Sawajiri announced her return to Japan by proclaiming “Oh shit” after dropping her make-up kit at Narita Airport. If she’s seriously thinking about her career prospects, Shukan Bunshun (4/10) says, she might use exactly the same phrase.”

“She’s having a great time taking things easy over there in her ‘trial marriage.’ She came back to Japan for work, but will go back to London in the middle of April,” an entertainment beat reporter tells Shukan Bunshun. “This time, she’s gonna stay there for a really long time.”

“Sawajiri, 21, has been living in the British capital with Tsuyoshi Takashiro, a hyper-media creator (whatever that is), who at 43 is 22 years older than her. Sawajiri’s career has virtually been on hold since September last year, when she threw a tantrum at a news conference where she was supposed to be promoting her new movie. Her petulant display caused an uproar in the media, and though she quickly went into damage control and apologized, she’s since done little work.”

“There were reports of her going crazy at the Led Zeppelin concert in London in December and then she flew off to Britain not long into the New Year. Since then, she hasn’t tried to hide her relationship with Takashiro and has had no problem being photographed with him,” another celebrity beat hack following Sawajiri in London says.
