London, January 10 : Zhang Ziyi has incurred the wrath of critics after topless pictures of the Chinese actress getting intimate with her Israeli fiancé hit cyberspace.

`The Memoirs of a Geisha' star had recently been snapped soaking the Caribbean sun donning only a pair of bikini bottoms while her billionaire Vivi Nevo thinned out the air between them.

The vacation snaps had enraged the `tradition-preserving' critics with many of them dubbing the artist as "shameless", reports the Daily Express.

One critic wrote: "Zhang Ziyi is really shameless. She is with a foreigner, but should remember certain conduct is expected of Chinese women."

New Delhi, Dec 20 : The `Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' actress Zhang Ziyi has topped the list of 50 "most beautiful people in China."

The fourth annual event was organized by The Beijing News, which announced the result in its Friday edition, reports the China Daily.

Zhang, who starred in `Memoirs of a Geisha', was at the top partly because she organized an overseas fund drive for survivors of the May 12 Sichuan earthquake while attending the Cannes Film Festival, said judge Hai Yan, a playwright and TV producer.
