China Bans Milli Vanilli Wannabes

The Chinese broadcasting regulator has ordered that the Spring Festival Gala programme use "real" singers after the embarrassing miming incident at the Beijing Olympic Games.  So much for a Milli Vanilli reunion in Beijing. Chinese authorities have announced a ban on lip-synching for the Spring Festival Gala, the country's most popular TV programme.  The Gala, which airs on New Year's Eve, is normally watched by hundreds of millions of viewers. They cheer along with the programme's comedy sketches and nationalistic, often lip-synched, song and dance routines.
