Jet Li learns about loveYOUR E-MAIL ALERTSHONG KONG (AP) -- Jet Li says his first marriage was out of a sense of obligation, and he didn't develop a healthy loving relationship until he met actress Nina Li. Li said he began dating his first wife, a classmate who was two years older, because she took good care of him. "My family was poor. Her family was well-off. She often took care of me. That's how it happened. I didn't know what love was," the 42-year-old action star says in an upcoming episode of "Life of Art," a Chinese state television program. "In terms of how much emotion each person devoted, she maybe gave 90 percent or 80 percent. At most I gave ... I still haven't figured out," the actor said. A clip from the show was posted on the Chinese news Web site Sina.com. Li, who appeared in 1979's "The Shaolin Temple" when he was a teen, didn't name his ex-wife, but the Apple Daily newspaper, which carried the Sina.com report Monday, said she is Huang Qiuyan. The couple married in 1987 and divorced in 1990. "When we parted, we were really like friends," he said. Li married Nina Li, his co-star in 1988's "Long zai tian ya (Dragon Fight)," in September 1999. "You realize, `I put myself out there. I can give up my fame and success, give up my status, give up my money. I'm even willing to die for her.' You realize this is love," he said. Li's screen credits also include roles in the Hollywood films "Lethal Weapon 4," "Romeo Must Die" and "Cradle 2 the Grave." Scruggs hurt in fallMYRTLE BEACH, South Carolina (AP) -- Bluegrass great Earl Scruggs fell as he walked offstage during a concert and needed 12 stitches above his eye. Scruggs, 81, was performing at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center when he fell Saturday night, said Norman Adams, promoter of the South Carolina State Bluegrass Festival. The bright stagelights apparently got in Scruggs' eyes and he couldn't see that he was about to fall, witnesses said. "Everybody in the crowd was yelling for him to stop," said Susanna Buck, who had a front-row seat. "There was just no way anybody could get there in time." Scruggs headed back to Nashville, Tennessee, on a bus after his trip to an emergency room. In 1969, Scruggs and guitarist Lester Flatt won a Grammy Award for Scruggs' instrumental "Foggy Mountain Breakdown." Scruggs won another Grammy for a 2001 recording of the same tune. Duff co-hosting 'Rockin' Eve'NEW YORK (AP) -- Hilary Duff will be the host of the West Coast portion of Dick Clark's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" on ABC this year, and she will perform three songs. Producers already announced this summer that Clark, who will be making his first television appearance since suffering a stroke last December, will be in Times Square with co-host Ryan Seacrest. Duff, who has sold more than 1 million copies of her "Most Wanted" CD, takes over a West Coast role that was filled last year by Ashlee Simpson, producers said Monday. Clark's ABC year-end special, traditionally the party of choice for those who ring in the New Year in front of the television, faces competition from a new Fox show with Regis Philbin. Philbin was Clark's emergency substitute on ABC last year. Carson Daly will be the host of a New Year's special on NBC. Copyright 2005 CNN.
