Singapore Singer Moves Into Glass House

Singaporean pop singer Stefanie Sun moved into a glass house next to the world's tallest skyscraper in Taiwan Saturday for a 24-hour stint to promote her latest CD.

Her stay to promote her Chinese-language album "A Perfect Day" was being broadcast live on the Internet.

Sun, 27, planned to spend 24 hours in the glass-and-steel structure, erected next to Taipei 101, which at 508 meters (1,679 feet) is the world's tallest skyscraper.

Her hair dyed a fiery red, Sun settled down on a brightly colored sofa as photographers milled about.

Her fans gathered outside, holding up umbrellas against the pouring rain. Other singers were planning to visit her, she told cable station ETTV.

Sun said the temporary structure was more comfortable than she had expected. "I thought it would be a square box with a bed and a lamp," she said.

Sun was planning to leave the house early Sunday afternoon, exactly 24 hours after entering.
