Rainie Yang (楊丞琳) turned 29 years old on June 4. The Taiwanese actress finally joined the micro-blogging scene and opened her first Weibo account to allow greater online interaction with fans. On June 4, the Taiwanese pop princess made a surprise appearance on the Sina Weibo dashboard. She posted the message, “Happy birthday to me… I’m finally here!” On her post, she attached a photo of herself in a makeup room, holding up a “victory” sign with her hands to signal that her account has been verified. She also uploaded a photo of her tiny chocolate-flavored birthday cake. The post was welcomed by over 25,000 reblogs and 24,000 comments. Celebrities with Weibo accounts from Taiwan, mainland China, and Hong Kong rushed to congratulate the birthday girl. Rainie’s good friend, Angela Chang (張韶涵), wrote, “I thought I was late in joining Weibo; never thought that you would be even later than me! Haha! Also, Happy Birthday!” Rainie’s rumored boyfriend, Prince (王子) from the boy band JPM, also reblogged Rainie’s message to congratulate her, “Welcome. Happy Birthday to [you]!” Rainie has already attracted over one million followers on the first day her Weibo page opened. It is very likely that she will accumulate several million more followers by the weekend. Creds: Oncc
