Performance group says no to sex, drug offenders

BEIJING Trade Association for Performances said yesterday it will not hire any celebrities that have been involved in drug abuse or prostitution.

“Celebrities should not only keep a good image in public but also should be disciplined off stage,” said Liu Zhongkui, deputy head of the association.

The association and 42 Beijing preforming arts organizations signed an anti-drug commitment earlier this year, promising not to hire any celebrities who use drugs.

China has detained a string of celebrities, including movie and TV stars, in recent months on drug-related and prostitution charges. Jaycee Chan, son of film star Jackie Chan, was formally arrested in Beijing on Wednesday following his drugs bust in August.
