Linda Chung in new TVB Drama Lucky Fahter

2011-09-09T07:17:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣), Steven Ma (馬浚偉), Ha Yu (夏雨) and the rest of the cast and crew held a praying ceremony for new TVB drama, Lucky Father "當旺爸爸". Earlier on, when Linda and Steven were shooting an accident scene for Lucky Father, a passerby thought that an actual accident had occurred and called the police. When mentioned, Linda replied that she felt that the accident scene was probably too realistic, thus misleading people to think that it was real. Linda expressed that she was shocked when the police suddenly arrived at the scene on that fateful day.

Ran Until Feet Hurt When Filming Chasing Criminals Scene

Linda will have romantic developments with three men in the drama and they include Steven Ma, Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿) and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠). Will she have kissing scenes with all of them ? Linda responded, “Fathers are the main topic of this warm-hearted drama. As romantic love isn’t the primarily focus here, no kissing scenes will likely be imposed. It was rather challenging as this is the first time I’m acting as a policewoman. As I often have to film criminal-chasing scenes, I suffered from a lack of sleep but still had to film from morning until night the very day, running until my legs were numb and in pain.”

Did Linda prefer filming kissing scenes or criminal chasing scenes? Linda laughed and said, “It’s most important for the effect to be good. All three of them are good men.” (Reporter: Which one of them fits your criteria of a boyfriend?) “Each of them have their own strengths. I have the most chemistry with Steven Ma since we have collaborated five times now. Lai Lok Yi is my good friend. Edwin Siu is a nice guy. However, I will not develop with any of them. Acting is purely acting; I keep private life separate from work.”

In other news, Tracy Ip (葉翠翠) was rumored to have turned down TVB actor, Benjamin Yuen’s (韋家雄) pursuit of love. In reply to this, Tracy silently admitted to it, “We previously filmed 4 In Love together and in that drama, his character really likes me. During filming, he was just going into character. After filming, nothing happened between us. We didn’t communicate or even went on any date after that.” Tracy Ip clarified that she did not mind dating shorter guys than herself but preferred that her boyfriend was not from the entertainment circle.

2011-09-09T07:14:00.000-07:00

Timmy Hung, Derek Kwok, Joe Ma and Michael Tse were in Chuen Wan for a Mid-Autumn Festival event, celebrating the holiday with the elders. Timmy revealed through the interview that he and his girlfriend Janet Chow had a new idea on their wedding. They plan to hold a 'two person wedding' in Australia on November 11th. He said: "Actually since last year, we already started preparing for the wedding, but all along we couldn't find a suitable location to host the occasion. Janet recently said why don't we just marry in Australia without anyone, just the two of us. Then we'll come back and hold the banquet. Parents of both sides agreed, my father (Sammo Hung) doesn't mind because he's busy shooting a new film and will only have time in January of next year."

Timmy is prepared to buy a 1 carat diamond ring valued at HK$20,000 to marry Janet. In the future when he earns more money, he will add more to the gifts. He laughed: "I hate those games we play when we pick up the bride. For me, I'll just act like Special Duties Unit, break through the doors and steal the bride."

Also, Derek Kwok was recently blessed with a daughter. Although child care is difficult, but at least has a goal in life. Asked about rumored girlfriend Joyce Tang accused of being the 'third party'. He said awkwardly that the two are just friends, and has not been keeping in touch. He said: "She didn't admit she was dating, how can outsiders know about matters between two people?" When asked if Derek will introduce 'good men' to Joyce? He said: "No, let her find one herself."

Andy Lau and Deanie Ip in film A Simple Life

2011-09-09T07:11:00.000-07:00

Director Ann Hui’s (许鞍华) A Simple Life starring Andy Lau (刘德华) and Deanie Ip (叶德娴), centers around a master-servant relationship between a son and a mother. A Simple Life premiered at the 68th Annual Venice Film Festival on September 5th. Director Ann Hui, the film’s producer, Andy Lau, Deanie Ip, Qin Hailu (秦海璐), and other veterans walked the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival earlier this week.

A Simple Life was one of the four short-listed Chinese language films competing for the coveted Golden Lion Award and the second Chinese language film to make its appearance at the Venice Film Festival, following the lukewarm media reception of Seedig Bale "赛德克-巴莱". Based on the published score thus far, Seedig Bale came in the last place among the screened films.

Based on the media and audience reaction at the premiere, A Simple Life was more successful. When the film ended, the entire audience rose to a standing ovation. The reporter reflected on some of the film’s transitions, coupled with the slow pace of the subject matter, which led to the early departure of certain members of the media. However, it was understood that the domestic release of the mainland China version of A Simple Life will run at 117 minutes in length, which was slightly shorter than the version shown at the Venice Film Festival.

Deanie Ip’s performance in the film won the appreciation of many media outlets. Deanie was considered to be the strongest contender for the Best Actress Award to-date.

Michael Tse and Kate Tsui in Lives of Omission

2011-09-09T07:08:00.000-07:00

TVB series Lives of Omission is currently a popular hit, making Michael Tse and Kate Tsui the target on magazine reports. It was said after Stephen Chan resumed his position at TVB, he plans to boost his favorites Wong He and Wayne Lai up for TV King, shattering Michael's dreams. Kate also asked the producer to new series Schemes of East and West to give her more screen time, so she can defeat Fala Chen. However, her plans failed and therefore she withdrew from the series.

Yesterday Michael and Kate took part in the recording of 全城喜動 in Macau. Towards the related reports, Kate had a big reaction and explained: "Never heard of such thing. This is quite interesting, I did discuss a script and role with Producer Tommy Leung, but because of schedule conflicts, I couldn't take part in the series. (You don't want to collaborate with Fala?) No such thing, why would that be so? We just completed a series together. (Is it not 'if there is her, then there is no you'?) Why would that be? TVB already has a shortage of people, so they are happy when there are more people coming. Perhaps there will be more time to earn some extra money. (Fala is your greatest opponent for this year's TV Queen title?) I know I already have 5 series broadcast this year, but I personally support Myolie Wu. I heard her performance in Queen of All is awesome."

Michael just expressed: "I don't have to comment on this, there are too many of these fabricated news. (Stephen Chan made everyone in TVB split in groups and parties again?) In fact it is not Mr. Chan splitting the groups on his own, it is the public that is helping him do so. I feel that we all have the same goal, and that is to work for TVB."

2011-09-09T07:02:00.000-07:00

Accused of being in the 'Stephen Party', TVB FaDans Sharon Chan and Fala Chen took part in the costume fitting for new series Schemes of East and West with Roger Kwok. Sharon was asked if its because she's Stephen Chan's favorite that she got the opportunity to take on the leading role? Sharon said: "Not related, this series was set several months ago. (Are you a loyal member of the 'Stephen Party'?) He is a good boss, friend and my mentor. He taught me how to be a host. We aren't in any party, just being ourselves." As part of the 'Stephen Party', Sharon sweet talked and thanked Virgina Lok for helping her fight for the opportunity to portray this role. When speaking of it being a benefit to her, now that Stephen is back in TVB? She said: "Didn't think about that. I am already thankful that he's fine. I was worried for a long time because before I was a 'witness' and it wasn't convenient for me to say too much. Now it's a sign of relief. I have SMS him and he replied that everything is going well."

As for Fala, she plays Chung Mo Yim. She expressed she has been mindful of Stephen's return, asked if she's part of the 'Stephen Party'? She joked: "Before they said I was part of the Tsang Jeh party (Catherine Tsang), then the Miss Lok party (Virgina Lok), I have been in all of the parties except for the villain party." Roger Kwok said he congratulates Stephen having new hopes after a disastrous period. He said: "We were familiar for a period before, but later I had to look after my son and shoot in Mainland, so we didn't keep in touch as much."

Also, yesterday Fala started shooting outdoor scenes for the new series and coincidentally encountered Film King Chow Yun Fat, who had paid attention to her performances before. Fala was jumping in joy when she saw him and asked for a photo together to post on Weibo. She wrote: "Fat Gor stood behind me and watched me perform. I worked hard trying to concentrate, aiya, so pressuring!" Koni Lui also got to take a photo with Chow Yun Fat.

Sexy Model Amber Ann released MV Love To Help Society

2011-08-25T23:50:00.000-07:00

The highly popular Taiwanese otaku goddess Amber Ann, famous for her various modeling roles and active television appearances, is forging ahead with her rookie music career with the release of her latest MV for 戀愛應援團 (Love to Help Society), the latest track off of her debut album. The song for Amber’s latest MV is a youthful and energetic song that that produced and choreographed by veteran entertainment industry personnel to help the aspiring model-turned-singer.

Shooting for Amber’s latest MV took place throughout various locations of a school campus in a single day spanning from five in the morning to midnight. As Amber was moving around the campus for the MV shoot, she commented on the nostalgia of being in a school environment by saying, “When I was a child, I used to think these school desks and chairs were so massive and heavy, but I now discovered that they’re so much smaller that I can lie down on top of five of them. I really did grow up.”

The MV’s director picked a dodgeball theme for the MV that pitted guys versus girls in a friendly match as a backdrop for the song’s focus on falling in love. The Taiwanese celebrity remarked that she was afraid of getting hit from the ball due to her memories back during her school days when getting hit was painful, but she felt more at ease during when she found out that the balls used in the shoot were of the softer variety.

Throughout the shooting of the MV, Amber was asked to dress in a variety of revealing clothing such as short shorts to show off her legs. In one scene though where the otaku goddess was asked to wear a bikini top without a supporting pin during a group dance, she expressed not only how she felt awkward in wearing it in a scene alongside many people, but also how she was afraid that the bikini top would slide off during the dancing routine. But the crew was able to convince Amber to go along with the bikini dance scene when a colleague asked for an example of what other celebrity previously did a bikini dance, which one of the dancers responded by saying Lady Gaga. In addition, Amber commented that she felt that the entire crew on set were professional, so she was able to happily dance during the group dance scene and forgot all about feeling awkward.

2011-08-25T23:43:00.000-07:00

Ariel Lin and Chen Bolin promote drama In Time With You

2011-08-25T23:41:00.000-07:00

The cast and crew of “In Time With You,” an idol drama that will soon start showing in Taiwan, arrived on Aug. 18 in Singapore for location shooting. The team yesterday (Aug. 19) held a press conference at the Marina Bay Sands, kicking off it’s first wave of publicity.

During the presscon, aside from lead actors Ariel Lin, Chen Bolin, Sunny Wang and Chen Kuang-yi, special guests stars Joanne Tseng, Jessica Liu and Malaysian singer Fang Jiong Bin were also present.

Director Winnie Chu said he had traveled to Guam, Hong Kong and China, but finally decided on Singapore to shoot some scenes.

He explained: “Singapore gives a me a passionate, warm feeling, as well as a very modern feel. Because of the different races [living here], there’s this feeling of closeness. And it’s very orderly here.”

The crew also revealed that every time Winnie shot a scene, he would look at the screen and exclaim “Singapore is so beautiful! We were right to come here.”

Ariel talks about what she thinks is a ‘good man’
Ariel, who hasn’t done an idol drama in three years, is meeting her fans again with her comeback drama “In Time With You.”

In the drama, Ariel plays a woman who had just turned 30, Cheng You Qing. Because of her bet with her good friend for 14 years, Li Da Ren (Chen Bolin) – that whoever gets married first before they turn 35 will get a “hongbao” (red envelope, cash gift) of NT$100,000 (about US$3,500) – You Qing has started looking for a prospective marriage partner.

Having known each other for seven years and worked together in three dramas, Winnie and Ariel are like family.

At the press conference, Winnie loudly praised Ariel, saying that aside from being an actress that he trusts [feels comfortable with, need not worry about], she is also a very intelligent and mature woman. At the same time, Ariel is very good at using her experience in life and making it a part of her performance.

During the interview, Ariel said she chose “In Time With You” because You Qing’s situation is very similar to where she is at this stage in life. However, she humorously stressed: "I am not yet 30 oh!”

You Qing had a target of getting married at “28,” does Ariel also have a similar goal?

She paused for a moment and then said: “ I haven’t set a target age for getting married, but [marriage is something that will happen] sooner or later. Just let nature take its course! I’m not used to sharing [my feelings].”

When asked what kind of man does she consider to be a “good man,” she said without hesitation, someone who shares her interests, who has a goal in life would be considered a good man.

She then added: "Our interests need not be all the same, but he should be able to make you wholly a part of his life, like his friends, family and things that he often does.”

While Ariel is very protective about her love life, when she answers questions about it, one couldn’t help but see the happiness and joy on her face.

Sunny falls in love with acting
Sunny first got known as the rumored boyfriend of Elva Hsiao. This is the first time he’s doing an idol drama and he said he felt lucky that he’s doing with veterans like Ariel and Bolin.

In the drama, Sunny planys Ding Li Wei, Cheng You Qing’s former boyfriend and Li Da Ren’s romantic rival.

Asked about the most memorable scene he’s done, Sunny said: “The first one we filmed, because I hit Chen Bolin [in that scene]”

This being his first drama, Sunny has learned a lot, such as when shooting a scene, one has to be conscious of the different camera angles and shots. He added that Ariel and Bolin had helped him so much and were very good at helping him get into character.

There’s always a first time, and after this first experience, Sunny said: "I love acting.” [he spoke in English]

As such, he hopes viewers can see his potential, giving him more opportunities to act.

How would the director rate Sunny’s acting?

Winnie said: “He has this kind of fatal attraction. His acting is very relaxed. There was this 5-minute scene which we shot three times, but in the end, I think we still chose the second one? At the time, I felt that he has graduated from one level into another.”

Such high praise from the director, an affirmation of Sunny’s acting.

Chen Kuang-yi is a born actress
A graduate of National Taiwan University, Chen Kuang-yi is quiet and looks more like the scholarly type – an intelligent beauty. This is her first time to act and she’s already won the role of the second female lead.

In the drama, she plays Maggie who likes Da Ren and views him as a marriage target. Chen said Maggie is more lively and pro-active in pursuing guys – her personality is quite different from hers.

She said: "To prepare for this drama, I had to look for something that I and my character share.”

At first glance, Chen looks like Vivian Chow. Chen said, people had said the same thing when she was a kid but she didn’t really give it much thought. She only took notice when she entered the entertainment industry.

What’s more, Chen and Vivian even share the same birthday!

"Little Vivian," this moniker, does Chen feel pressured?

Chen said: “She’s an actress that I admire, so the pressure is intense. But I hope I can come into my own.”

Chen and Sunny are alike, both are acting newbies. Winnie said Chen’s a natural-born actress. She just had to do 60%, but already gives off that 100% feeling.

“In Time With You” will be shown every Saturday starting on Sept. 24, 8p.m., be "I may not love you" from September 24 onwards, every Saturday at 8 pm, on Xing He Shi Jie Channel 825.

Yao Yuan Hao is getting closer with Cyndi Wang

2011-08-25T23:38:00.000-07:00

Taiwanese singer Cyndi Wang was spotted in Kending, Taiwan with actor Yao Yuan Hao on Jul 31, fueling speculations that the pair was seeing each other.

However, both Cyndi and Yuan Hao have denied the rumour. Yuan Hao said that he had decided to meet Cyndi, after the latter updated her Facebook, saying she was in the area.

On Aug 14, a member of the public tipped off the media again, claiming that Cyndi and Yuan Hao were spotted together at a prawn fishing club in Tamshui District. When reporters arrived at the place, the pair was nowhere in sight.

Workers at the prawn fishing club let on that the couple had left less than 15 minutes earlier.

When reporters probed the club owner, he first admitted to seeing the pair there, before changing his mind later, saying that he "did not know".

The owner later revealed, "Cyndi didn't come but Sonia Sui did (Yuan Hao's ex-girlfriend)."

Upon hearing their boss's reply, the workers became careful with their words. The man changed his statement again and said, "A-Pang and his friends were here earlier."

The club owner's shifty answers made it seemed like Cyndi and Yuan Hao were both at the club.

Yesterday, the pair clarified through their management agencies that they are "just friends and had went prawn fishing with six other friends".

Yuan Hao is known to go prawn fishing with his friends from showbiz.

"His schedule was cancelled that day. A friend happened to ask him to go prawn fishing. Yuan Hao and Cyndi are just friends," the actor's management agency said.

Cyndi's manager also expressed that the singer was "out with her friends, who are not from showbiz". She added that Cyndi and Yuan Hao have mutual friends and it was normal for them to meet.

According to Cyndi's friend, the singer had decided not to date anyone from showbiz after what happened with actor Wing Fan. Wing had posted several intimate photos taken when they were dating.

Cyndi's friends had been introducing her men outside of showbiz. It was speculated that Cyndi must have gone to the club to meet the person when she ran into Yuan Hao.

The friend added that it is impossible for Cyndi and Yuan Hao to have feelings for each other, since they had already known each other for 10 years.

Ron Ng and Viann Zhang talked their rumours over weibo

2011-08-15T09:58:00.000-07:00

The bubbling rumors between Ron Ng (吴卓羲) and Viann Zhang (张馨予) has finally been verified. The couple involved tweeted some messages over Weibo, publicly admitting their romance. Ron urged his fans over Weibo not to attack Viann and added, “If you guys really support me, please respect her.”

Almost instantaneously, Viann tweeted a message dedicated to Ron’s fans, “If it were me who had ruined your childhood dream, I thereby apologize. I believe those who truly support will not leave!”

Ever since Ron stepped into the industry, he has been rumored first with Sire Ma (马赛) and then with Kate Tsui (徐子珊). Before that, he was acquainted with 24-year-old mainland artist, Viann Zhang, while filming Pretty Maid <大丫鬟>.

In June, Ron was snapped by the paparazzi fetching Viann from the airport and driving her back to his apartment. At that time, both of them denied those rumors. However, this morning, the couple behaved out of the norm and disclosed their relationship on Weibo.

Fans’ attack on Viann made Ron unable to hold his silence any longer. He wrote on his own Weibo page, “Those who dote on me, actually I feel that Weibo is a healthy platform for learning. Do not use this platform to scold anyone or write any disrespectful words. Please respect yourself. Respect others and respect me. Hope everyone can calm down a little and respect yourself and be self-disciplined.”

Following his previous tweet, Ron Ng added, “If you guys really support me, please respect her.” Viann soon tweeted back in reply to Ron’s tweet, “This is dedicated to Ron Ng’s fans: If it was me who had ruined your childhood dream, I thereby apologize. I believe those who truly support will not leave!” thus publicly acknowledging their relationship.

Fala Chen and Yuang Cheung in series Lives of Omission

2011-08-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

TVB fadan Fala Chen (陳法拉) and newcomer Yuang Cheung (章宇昂) collaborated on a new series for the first time. Fala honestly said that she was deeply attracted to Yuang Cheung’s dancing scene and remarked that this incurred their co-star ‘Dancing King’ Michael Tse’s (謝天華) jealousy. Yuang Cheung who was acting as a villain for the very first time in Lives of Omission <潛行狙擊> was not afraid of leaving a bad impression on viewers and even professed that he hoped to take on more different roles as a challenge to himself.

Fala Chen, who was not familiar with Cantonese language when she first stepped into the industry, got along especially with TVB newcomer Yuang Cheung as they both had the same language-barrier problem initially and had grown up overseas.

New drama, Lives of Omission, marked the first collaboration between Fala and Yuang. Fala even expressed that she was attracted to one of Yuang’s dancing scene in Lives of Omission, “That scene left me feeling surprised. I felt that his preparation and development of character were all good. It (the dancing scene) was so good that Michael and Damien Lau (劉松仁) both gathered to watch. Michael even said that he almost couldn’t stand it any longer and wanted to join in.

If Yuang Cheung didn’t have the capability then he wouldn’t had been able to “agitate” Michael lahs!”

Lucky Enough To Receive Guidance From Seniors

To a newcomer, when filming, the camera’s shooting position, technique of saying dialogues, acting skills and etc has to be learned. Yuang Cheung professed that he was lucky enough to receive guidance from seniors during filming. However, aside from skills on how to film, senior Fala Chen also helped him improve in his Cantonese. Yuang Cheung declared, “I know Fala’s Cantonese wasn’t that good when she first stepped into this industry. Fala urged me to practice more as it wasn’t good to replace with English words when speaking. However, it is much easier when both of us communicate as we both understand what the other party is talking about.”

Unafraid To Act As A Bad Guy

Besides that, Fala also “showed” Yuang the path, informing Yuang of the “rules” one had to obey as a newcomer. As a newcomer in the past, Fala informed Yuang Cheung that one has to rely on his accumulated experience along the way. When acting, one has to know how to keep and release his emotions naturally, to let his character’s realistic personality come out. He must be bold to experiment and cannot be shy.

Acting as a villain in the new drama, Yuang Cheung proclaimed that he was unafraid of leaving audiences with a bad impression, “Well, so long as everyone knows that I’m not as bad in real life. If I only portray as per what my character thinks (and not actually doing those evil things in reality) then I think it should be alright. I will probably be acting something else the next time ’round and hope to have the opportunity to experiment with more different roles in the future.”

Side Note:
Ah K: In case some of you might not know, Yuang Cheung (章宇昂) is the younger brother of Kenny Bee’s notorious ex-wife Teresa Cheung (章小蕙). He has acted before in Dropping by Cloud Nine <你们我们他们> opposite Stephanie Ho. Some background scoop on Yuang Cheung is that unlike Fala who hailed from America, Yuang Cheung came from Canada and is a linguist who speaks English, Chinese, Japanese and French. He entered TVB without his family’s knowledge and did not contact Teresa. There have been rumors that Teresa and Yuang Cheung are half-siblings but unconfirmed as of date.

However, the couple was recently spotted holding hands while taking a stroll down the street s of New York. They even took the same flight from New York to Hong Kong.

Last month, when Lee Hom visited his parents in New York, Shu Qi posted a map, which showed the journey from Hong Kong to New York, on her microblog.

The picture was accompanied by a caption, "Is a 15-hour flight very long? No, it's not. It's just a footprint away." This caused speculations that Shu Qi hinted that she had gone over to New York with Lee Hom and that it was a declaration of their relationship.

According to a Taiwanese tabloid, when Lee Hom arrived in Taiwan from Dalian on Jul 30, Shu Qi drove her brother's car to the singer's residence and spent the night there. The actress left at noon the next day.

Shu Qi responded to the reports, calling them "extremely absurd", and said that the magazine was making up stories.

On the other hand, Lee Hom's recording company emphasised that the two of them were just friends.

In 2005, Shu Qi and Lee Hom met on the set of the singer's music video 'The First Morning' and fell in love. After dating for three years, the couple broke up when Lee Hom stood the actress up for unknown reasons, which caused their overseas trip to be cancelled.

Cyndi Wang rumoured dating with actor Yao Yuan Hao

On Jul 31, a member of the public reportedly saw singer Cyndi Wang and model-turned-actress Sonia Sui's ex-boyfriend and actor Yao Yuan Hao in Kenting, Taiwan.

According to him, Cyndi was sunbathing with Yuan Hao's friend on the beach initially. When they realised they were being photographed, Cyndi and friend immediately met up with the actor and hid in their car.

Just when everyone thought they would leave, Yuan Hao left the car and hit the beach in his surfwear.

It is believed that Cyndi and Yuan Hao became close friends after the former attended events organised by Yuan Hao's management agency. Cyndi's best friend Momo Chu is also signed under the same company.

Responding to the reports, Cyndi and Yuan Hao expressed that they met in Kenting because Yuan Hao used his time off work to surf and Cyndi was there with her family. The singer also informed her fans that she was in Kenting through her Facebook page.

If she was with her family, why were there only photographs of Cyndi, Yuan Hao and his friend?

"Cyndi was there with her cousin, his wife and their children. Her cousin-in-law did not want to get tanned, so they decided to shop instead," Cyndi's manager explained.

Is there a possibility for their relationship to develop further?

"We've already known each other for over a decade. If we wanted to be together, we would've done so years ago," the pair replied via their managers.

Raymond Lam new rumoruted girlfriend Kibby Lau

2011-07-26T19:53:00.001-07:00

After the relationship crisis with Mavis Pan, a new rumored girlfriend breaks out again for Raymond Lam. It was reported that the next day after his grandmother's funeral, he went to a nightclub in Lan Kwai Fong and got familiar with 'blueberry' Kibby Lau. He was dancing face to face with her, holding her hand and hugging her. However, Raymond firmly denied doing anything intimate with Kibby and stressed that it was just the camera angle. He then stuttered saying he's not familiar with Kibby.

Yesterday afternoon, Raymond held the autograph session to his new album LF. The event started 30 minutes later than the scheduled time, Raymond denied being late. He said he arrived at the shopping mall on time at 3pm. However, there was a road block outside causing a traffic jam, so he was only able to enter the mall after 10 minutes.

Asked about the reports with him and Kibby? He said in fact there is nothing to explain, don't let the words be intimidating. Raymond said that afternoon at 3pm, he and his colleagues had a meeting on his concert and the new album, but because the album was already completed, he received a phone call later saying that everyone will be doing a small celebration for all their hard work in Lan Kwai Fong. He just went and had a few drinks. That day it was Saturday, there were many TVB artists around, so he doesn't understand why only his photo was published.

As for being photographed dancing, hugging and holding Kibby's hand? He strongly emphasized that it was just a matter of the camera angles, he just chatted with Kibby. He reaffirmed that he was just there for a short while, nothing special and very normal. As this is his first time going to that place, he couldn't believe he was that lucky to get photographed. He joked that people rarely see him going out, so thought it was a big deal. If he goes more, then it be nothing.

It was said he kissed Kibby on the cheek? Raymond said he didn't and that everyone shouldn't make a fuss out of nothing. Will he meet Kibby again? He shouted with a smile, that's crazy, and then stuttered: "We aren't that familiar!" When asked why he had such a good chat with her if he didn't know her well? His face turned black and asked back: "How do you know I had a good chat? Just greetings. (Who initiated the greeting?) It just so happened we met. I have no other response, don't try to provoke more [questions]!" When speaking of Mavis Pan complaining about how his family was very fussy to her during a magazine interview? Raymond said he will not respond, he is currently focused on work.

He said that losing weight and training truly were very inhuman, now the director would first shoot his chase with Brother Wa and the naked prison fight scenes. He was worried that he would not be able to handle them physically because earlier he could not even move furniture at home. He was afraid that he was so light that he would be blown away.

However, Ka Fai said that Janice Man's role had the most potential in the film. Originally in the film she was his girlfriend in the film, but later he realized that actually she was his daughter. Janice Man in order to play this character began preparing two and a half months before. First she lost five pounds in hopes of the down and depressed look. At the same time she had to learn to play the piano.

Yam Tat Wa also had to make a sacrifice. He spent four hours to bleach his facial hair. This time he played a neurotic inspector. Brother Wa and Tse On Kay played a couple in the film and had intimate scenes. Yam Tat Wa would also work with Gianna Jun Ji-Hyun on a new film. They shot a roof scene in over 30 degree Celsius heat. She still stood next to the camera when she was not in scene to assist with his acting.

LOVE IN SPACE (CHUEN KAU YIT LUEN) yesterday released the Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying) in a space station photo and unveiled the story behind the most difficult kiss scene. Lau Yeuk Ying said that the biggest challenge this time was the wire work, completely relying on limbs and expressions in weightlessness. It was an enormous challenge to her performance.

Lau Yeuk Ying said, "After the first day of wire work, when I came down and heard the director said once more I wanted to cry. It wasn't because I had pressure inside and didn't want to, I just felt like my body really couldn't take it." Kwok Fu Sing revealed, "I fell in love at first sight with the astronaut scene in LOVE IN SPACE. This was a very lucky character, right after reading the script I was looking forward to the production starting sooner. However it was actually shot, I was still a little frightened. The kiss was different from on earth. In space we floated. When we kissed it was even more romantic, but as we worked, when we kissed we didn't know where we floated to! This romantic floating in space kiss scene was hot on wires for six hours. Finally we captured the most touching shot, but this was also the most difficult kiss in my career."

Ady An and Joe Chen new drama Xiao Xiang Beautiful Life

2011-07-11T06:27:00.001-07:00

Taiwanese idols’ prices go up once they go overseas. Rumors say that Joe Chen Qiao-En and Ady An pocket $170,000 and $180,000 RMB per episode (~$800,000 TWD). Therefore, although SETTV’s upcoming drama, “小襄的美麗人生” (Xiao Xiang’s Beautiful Life), was originally considering one of the two stars as its lead, they decided to have Janine Chang take the role in the end.

From the same production crew as “Love You”, the drama has already stirred up a lot of attention on the web. The network’s executive VP Su Li-Mei stated that Ariel Lin was her ideal Xiao Xiang, which led to a war of words between Ariel and Joe fans. Nonetheless, it will be Janine and Peter Ho to star in the new drama.

Drama production director Liu Si-Ming denied rumors of having contacted Ariel and Joe previously, “It was only an online discussion, and no contact was made. After the script was done, we felt that Janine suited the role better. Her schedule is also accomadating and we have no issues with her pay.” Liu Si-Ming pointed out that the production cost for filming dramas in Taiwan is much different than in the mainland. Thus, the actors/actresses’ asking price would be different. However, Liu Si-Ming does not feel that it’s wrong for actors/actresses to be asking for high prices, “This is a free market. The more expensive the actor’s pay is, it means the bigger the market is. We should work even harder to push the industry forward.”

Ariel Lin stop acting in dramas

2011-07-11T05:34:00.001-07:00

Many speculated that Taiwanese actress Ariel Lin's health was deteriorating when she suddenly announced that she would stop acting in dramas.

Yesterday, Ariel, who suffered from a pituitary sella cyst two years ago, said that she would be reducing her future workload and had no plans of releasing another record.

While some speculate that the actress may be sick again, others questioned if she had made the decision in the name of love.

Ariel clarified that her ailment is untreatable and may recur even after surgery. Heeding her mother's advice, Ariel decided that her family is more important.

"I still love to act, but my health condition is not as good as it used to be. I think I should work within my health limit and set aside some time for people who are important to me," Ariel said.

When Ariel was filming her new drama series I May Not Love You in April, the actress had frequently fallen ill with tonsil inflammation because of the hot weather and her slow metabolism rate.

"It's tough to be the female lead for a drama series. It's like going through military boot camp, where [one's heart and soul] cannot have proper balance," the actress described.

Ariel's boyfriend Cheng Jia Yao had been visiting her on the set constantly.

When asked if she was departing showbiz because of love, Ariel laughed, "I merely wanted him to understand my job. After all, he may be my family member in future."

However, the actress wished for privacy when it came to marriage.

"I've always lived up to everyone's expectations throughout the years. When it comes to [marriage], I may want to be a little selfish," Ariel said, suggesting that she would not be having a high-profile wedding.

Takeshi Kaneshiro dating with a mysterious girl

2011-07-11T05:31:00.000-07:00

Was it a ruse when actor Takeshi Kaneshiro claimed that he is single a few months ago?

Takeshi had always kept a low profile when it came to his love life. However, the heartthrob was spotted with a girl two days ago, fuelling speculations that he is currently dating.

According to Taiwanese media reports, Takeshi had taken a flight from Hong Kong back to Taiwan with his manager on June 23. After he touched down, he was seen heading towards a high-end apartment near the Taiwanese Palace Museum.

The actor reportedly did not leave the apartment for the next three days. On June 24, a girl was spotted entering the residence holding a bag of fast food.

Takeshi was finally seen leaving the apartment on June 26 with the mysterious girl. While Takeshi waited in the car, the girl went to get food.

When reporters approached the girl for an interview, she immediately covered her mouth and avoided the camera. In a surprise gesture, Takeshi helped to block her from the camera. The pair did not respond to any questions asked.

A reporter later noticed that the girl was wearing a ring, which resembled the one Takeshi wore when he promoted Red Cliff in 2009. This fuelled rumours that the pair was seeing each other.

Responding to the rumour, Takeshi's manager agitatedly said, "This is impossible! Definitely impossible! This is so absurd! I'm angry!"

She emphasised that Takeshi is currently single and that the girl was just a friend. The manager also threatened to take legal action if necessary.

A bat bit him while he and Fat Hoi was battling evil. As the demon blood entered his heart he gradually turned evil.

Ah Sa and Wen Zhang played a couple for the first time and even had "intimate contact" scenes. He carried the Green Snake who had a look of sweetness on her face and freely flew through the air; in comparison to White Snake who fell for Hui Sin and wanted to live the life of a human, Green Snake savored her "demonic" identity and even hoped to turn her lover into one and travel the world together. Seeing all the suffering White Snake went through to become "human", Green Snake was even more determined to "never become human". In the end the disciple's choice would be the turning point. Wen Zhang after playing Lee Nin Kit's son in OCEAN HEAVEN this time successfully faced Brother Kit's "martial art" challenge.

Shirley Yeung break up with boyfriend Gregory Lee

2011-07-03T21:38:00.000-07:00

Shirley Yeung, who had been dating for 9 years, announced her breakup with boyfriend Gregory Lee a few days ago. Since the announcement, besides having to accept losing his most beloved, Gregory also has to bear the 'man cannot accept' reason. It is obvious that he's feeling very down now. It was said that aside from Gregory's family worrying about him, his friends are also feeling pity for him. According to an insider, on the day of the breakup, Shirley cried expressing she is "pregnant" to the insider and Gregory was informed. However, Shirley still insisted that she wanted to breakup. At the time, Gregory was in deep sorrow, but still attempted to rescue the nearly 10 year relationship. Unfortunately, Shirley stood in a firm position.

Regarding the news exposed by the insider, [Oriental Daily] contacted Gregory to confirm. He frankly said Shirley used 'pregnancy' as a reason for the breakup: "Shirley did say she was 'pregnant', but it's me that doesn't believe it." When reporters contacted Shirley to confirm, her first reaction was: "Where did you all hear this news? Why is it rumored like that? But I have nothing to say." Until yesterday, Shirley still did not admit nor deny to the pregnancy rumors. She expressed her blessings to Gregory: "I have been with Gregory for a long time, he is a very good man. We are still friends after the breakup, I wish him forever happiness."

Besides the strange "pregnancy" rumor that we cannot tell if it's true or false, Shirley's decision to breakup with Gregory is another huge question mark. According to Gregory's older twin brother Augustine Lee, yesterday morning when he was chatting all night with Gregory, Shirley suddenly sent him a SMS: "I still really love you, miss you a lot." As we can see, Shirley is contradicting herself. Augustine expressed: "I don't know what attitude she has, hope she stops sending so many SMS to my brother, he receives one every day and is emotionally not stabled."

At this point, it can be sure that Gregory is feeling very down. When he accepted a phone interview, he admitted he has not recovered yet and still cannot contact Shirley. When asked about Shirley's 'pregnancy'? He said: "I am not responding, I am really unhappy right now. I don't want to hear things that I don't want to hear." As for Gregory's family, to prevent him from thinking too much, yesterday morning at 4am, they drove him back to TVB City to work on his new series. The cast to The Boxing King all comforted him, Gregory was very grateful: "I really want to thank Raymond Wong, Otto Chan and Tsui Wing. They chatted with me for a long time, I really appreciate their concern. (Shirley broke up with you several months ago, how come last month she still celebrated your birthday with you?) I went to work last night and everyone was shocked too because a few days ago Shirley still came to eat with me."

Although there are changes in the 9 year relationship, still need to continue down the road. Yesterday at 5am, Gregory and his father Ding Yeh appeared at TVB City. He bravely faced the media and accepted interviews. When asked if he knows Andy and if Andy is Shirley's old classmate? Gregory appeared very heartbroken and stressed: "I am not responding." Reporters asked again and again, he said: "I want to first get the details of the issue before I explain. Filming of this series is about to complete, I have no time to go find Shirley." Asked again if he believes Shirley is pregnant? He said in a weak voice: "I don't believe, don't believe."

Gregory expressed Shirley moved to Oscar by the Sea because it was convenient for her to go to work. Asked if he felt there was changes in the relationship at the time? Gregory said: "I did not feel it, she was still so happy asking me if I got enough sleep or had enough to eat. (What is the man's most pain?) I am not responding, after all we never had any arguments, I really don't know what's happening. I am just worried of her current condition." Currently emotionally unstabled, it seems as if there is no turning back for Gregory's relationship with Shirley, he will just have to accept the fact. However, he expressed he still loves her deeply: "No matter what, if Shirley needs anything, I will definitely go help her."

TVB executive Virgina Lok expressed she never heard of Shirley's pregnancy: "She's not pregnant, but she did tell me about the breakup. Their decision was made after careful thought, I hope their work does not get affected anymore."

Yesterday he was shooting for the series again in Sha Tin, he frankly said he has to go for physical therapy regularly: "In fact, before I already got hurt from dancing, now it's torn ligaments, anymore danger, then it's really going to be a broken knee. The soft tissue in my knee are also damaged, really hurts after standing for long. I have to be careful with the strength used."

Also, while shooting by the countryside for training scenes, Ron was injured again. He recalled the situation at that time: "I tied a wire on me to climb over the wooden stump to shoot a dangerous action scene. But when I was climbing, once I turned to the side, the railing went into my eye. At the time, I thought my eyeball fell out! Later, I immediately went to the French hospital, the doctor said the soft tissue in my eyeball was damaged, now it still hurts when I look around. I have to use eye drops and go back treatment."

Repeatedly injured, Ron joked that he has to do some worshiping, asked if he'll use stunts double in the future for dangerou camera angles? He insisted on personally doing the scenes himself, but the martial arts instructor knows he's hurt, so will accommodate as much as possible in the movements and camera angles. When speaking of older people get hurt more often, he laughed: "Yes! When we signed the contract, it was clearly said we will get Panda eyes, bags under the eyes and bad skin!"

David Tao becomes One Million Star judge

2011-06-27T09:20:00.000-07:00

The new (Chinese) One Million Star recorded their first episode on the 20th. For this season, the show has invited David Tao, Albert Leung (Lin Xi), James Li, and Kay Huang to be the judges. Eighty-four contestants performed and half have already been eliminated. Host Matilda Tao revealed, “The judges eliminated ten contestants in a roll! I saw the other contestants holding hands and crying together backstage just now!”

Matilda calls James the “ruthless judge”; James agreed, “I think I am too ruthless, but then I thought, if they can’t even handle something like this, how are they going to survive in showbiz?” The award-winning lyricist, Albert, who has written over 3000 song lyrics, is a judge for the first time. He expressed that he is a man with compassion, but has discovered his dark side after this show, “It’s the first time I’m deciding someone else’s fate, and can feel the power and desire. After recording the first episode, I realize that I was very despicable in pressing the light (strict on giving points). I prefer those with emotions over techniques.”

It’s also David’s first time being a judge at a singing competition show. He expressed that he would like to hear the contestants sing more of their own works instead of pretending to sing like other singers, “They need to have feelings instead of being like a robot. If they have potential, I won’t rule out the possibility of signing and training them.” However, David’s opinion seem to collide with John Yuan’s, who has been a judge for the show since season 1, “The ones we think are not okay, he actually thinks they’re fine. Maybe they are good contestants, but I think that possibility is very low!” Matilda immediately teased, “We only kept him (John) on the show out of compassion.”

For this new season, Matilda’s pay has also doubled to $250,000 TWD per episode. David, Albert, and James brought their managers, stylists, and assistants along, totalling eighteen people, costing $2 million TWD. As a result, each episode costs $4 million TWD to make. Matilda explained, “We’ve renamed the show to ‘Chinese’ One Million Star because we want to include all Chinese people in the world. We want to find the next Jay Chou, the next David Tao. Unlike other shows that likes to do things for fame, we are very strict on choosing contestants. But our judges will definitely not eliminate a contestant on purpose just to marry them home (referring to Jerry Huang).”

We must not fail, and we must not drag anyone else down.”

Kenji even provided input on the cast's costumes. Kenji commented, “God! I don’t want to be minding so much either!” but admitted that he had a good feeling about the drama after the audition, “Otherwise if the tone is off, it’ll be very hard (to act in it).” Kenji revealed that he previously had turned down many drama offers due to his music career; after he accepted this drama offer, he has been doing his homework by watching dramas that are currently airing.

Rhydian Vaughan is also a fresh face to TV dramas. He rose to fame after filming the movies “Winds of September” and “Monga”. Rhydian recently graduated from EAST 15 Acting School in United Kingdom and is already loaded with work. Even Kenji feels the pressure from the rising star, “I heard that he has a six-pack, so I’d better work on my eight-pack.” The drama crew also revealed that Kenji and Rydian like to compete to see who arrives to their training sessions the earliest.

Rainie Yang promoting latest drama While We Were Drunk

2011-06-27T09:15:00.000-07:00

The Taiwanese actress Rainie Yang was in town over the weekend with co-star Joseph Chang, promoting their latest drama ‘While We Were Drunk’

How often do you get to kiss your high-school sweetheart after you've broken up with each other? For Taiwanese actress Rainie Yang, it was almost 10 years later.

Yesterday, Rainie and co-star Joseph Chang were in town to promote their latest idol drama While We Were Drunk. Upon arriving at the press conference held at the Conrad Centennial Singapore, the chatty actress started off by asking the media if they had lunch.

In While We Were Drunk, Rainie plays Lin Xiao Ru, a girl who accidentally marries Song Jie Xiu (played by Joseph Chang) while they were drunk. The couple quickly realises their error once they sobered up, resulting in them trying to undo every mistake they made in the last 24 hours.

Apart from her "husband" Jie Xiu, there were two other men in Xiao Ru's life -- her ex-boyfriend Ren Yi Xiang (played by Kingone Wang) and her boss-cum-childhood friend Daniel Geng (played by Alien Huang).

Rainie and Alien had dated during their high-school days.

On acting with Alien for the first time, Rainie first let out an uncomfortable giggle before admitting "it's awkward to kiss Alien".

"I think you all know my relationship with him [Alien Huang]. It's the first time we're acting together; even though it was just a peck on the lips, I felt really shy," the 26-year-old replied.

Rainie Yang felt "more sparks" with Joseph Chang

Rainie then said that she felt "more sparks" when acting with Joseph.

"That's probably because the scenes [with Joseph] are more romantic. The one which I shared a kiss with Alien is not very romantic," Rainie explained quickly.

While We Were Drunk is touted as the sequel to Fated to Love You, the most well-received Taiwanese idol drama to date, and boasts of many passionate bed scenes.

However, the pair clarified that their drama "is not a direct sequel to Fated to Love You" and had a vastly different plot from its predecessor.

"There would definitely be comparisons [between the various dramas]; but all we [the actors] can do is to do our best," Rainie answered.

Commenting on the intimate scenes, Joseph said, "I started my first day of filming with the most passionate scene in the drama. It helped to build our chemistry with each other and we don't really feel awkward with each other later."

Many firsts for Rainie Yang

This was the first time Rainie sported a short hair cut in a drama. In all of her other dramas, where she was the female lead, the actress had long hair.

Rainie admitted that she was afraid of how the audience would take her new image initially. However, she later felt that "if Xiao Ru [Rainie's character] had long hair, it wouldn't be her anymore", suggesting that the actress was satisfied with the final result.

The short hair cut definitely gave Rainie a more matured look, which fitted her role as somebody's wife -- another first for her.

When asked if she did anything to prepare for her role, Rainie said, "I'm actually similar to my character, in that we've not been married before. I didn't do any special homework on how to portray Xiao Ru because she was thrown into marriage suddenly; so I just went along with the situations in the drama."

The actress let on that she did, however, take a month to get used to wearing the wedding ring -- which was encrusted with real diamonds -- on her ring finger. She would take every chance she had, including during meals, to take it off her finger.

While We Were Drunk premieres on Jun 26, every Sunday, 8pm on E City (StarHub TV Channel 825).

Nominated for the second time round, JJ Lin’s hopes of winning came crashing down when the award finally went to Jay Chou

Jay Chou beat JJ Lin at the 22nd Annual Golden Melody Awards to win the night's Best Male Mandarin Artiste award.

When award presenter David Tao first announced the name "Jay" - which sounded very much like JJ's initial - local singer JJ Lin thought the award was his to take home. However, the award eventually went to Jay Chou, who, also thought that the award was going to JJ.

The Taiwanese pop star became the night's biggest winner, bagging three major awards namely "Best Male Mandarin Artiste", "Best Mandarin Album" and "Best Composer" respectively.

At the after party, JJ, who looked visibly surprised when Jay's name was announced, admitted to having high hopes of winning as "David always calls me JJ in private". However, his hopes came crashing down when David finally read out the winner's full name and presented the award to Jay Chou instead.

Last year, JJ was also nominated for the same award, but failed to win.

Wu Chun leaving Taiwan Group Fahrenheit

2011-06-27T09:08:00.000-07:00

Aaron Yan revealed that Fahrenheit's Wu Chun will be quitting the group.
Aaron Yan was in Hong Kong yesterday attending a promotional event for the upcoming movie "Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon". During the event Aaron indirectly mentioned that Wu Chun would be leaving Fahrenheit.

One of the reasons for Wu Chun's departure was so he could concentrate on his movie career. With roles in hit movies such as "My Kingdom", Wu's career has been taking off. His promotions with the group have taken up much of his time which he now wants to dedicate to acting.

Another reason for Wu Chun quiting the group is so he could spend more time with his family. Although Aaron is afraid the news will leave fans disappointed, he is also hopeful that they'll return to the stage as a group once again.

"A 4 member Fahrenheit may feel more complete, but a 3 member group will still have their own strength," Aaron stated.

Nicholas Tse Ting Fung continues work on the film THE VIRAL FACTOR (YIK JIN) in Kuala Lumpur. Reportedly Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi has already landed in Kuala Lumpur and Ting Fung is under extreme protection. To avoid disturbance to his work, "Cheung Pak Chi" has become a banned term with Tse Ting Fung.

Yesterday on the set of THE VIRAL FACTOR, as from film workers Ting Fung had his personal assistant "Cousin" and five security guards next to him. The film shot a gun fight on the streets and blocked a four lane road. A fan said that earlier Ting Fung appeared to be relaxed and joked around with the crew. However as the media arrived on the set, he began to tense up as those around him made preparation.

In the scene Sammy Hung Tin Chiu chased Ting Fung and lead actress Lin Peng. Ting Fung was shot twice and fell and Lin Peng was taken away. Ting Fung was smoking while waiting for his scenes. He also took off his costume and studied kung fu with his security guard. Reporters were kept at least 10 feet away. As his security team began to "greet" reporters the situation grew chaotic.

Reporters could only loudly ask Ting Fung, "Has Pak Chi come over?" Ting Fung heard the question but did not response. Ting Fung's assistant "Cousin" warned reporters, "Would you believe I would have you dispersed!" Ting Fung will head to Beijing to promote TREASURE INN (CHOI SUN HAT JANG).

Nicholas Tse agreed to divorce Cecilia Cheung

2011-06-18T00:08:00.000-07:00

The actor has reportedly agreed on divorce, and a lawyer’s letter was sent to Cecilia Cheung

The five-year marriage between Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung is officially over.

The actor, who was said to have met his lawyers last week, has agreed to divorce Cecilia. She, in turn, received a rude shock when served the divorce papers.

Early last month, Cecilia, in a flurry of text message exchanges, was said to have threatened to divorce Nicholas. Nicholas, who is currently busy filming The Viral Factor in Kuala Lumpur, called her bluff, consulted his lawyers and has now agreed to the divorce.

Mani Fok, Nicholas's manager, has yet to respond to this, while the actor's assistant said, "I don't know."

Recently, netizens dug up yet another rumour that circulated in 2008 when Cecilia was embroiled in the photo scandal with Edison Chen. It was said that the Tse family then suspected that Lucas, the couple's elder son, may not be Nicholas's biological son and they had even sent him for a DNA test to verify who his father is.

Nicholas's father, Patrick Tse, when asked to comment on this rumour, shouted in rage, stating that the rumour is untrue and he will not comment on the matter anymore.

Bosco Wong gets photographed fully nude in house

2011-06-17T23:55:00.000-07:00

TVB Siu Sang Bosco Wong was secretly photographed fully nude in his house by the paparazzi. Last night when he was back in TVB for work, he appeared helpless and admitted that this incident has already gone over his limit.

Bosco was photographed fully nude walking around his house in Fo Tan and even revealed his butt. It was also said that he was at home waiting for his girlfriend, Myolie Wu, whom he cohabits with. (The magazine report also had photos implying Bosco and Myolie getting intimate.) Last night, Bosco was back in TVB City to work on Lives of Omission, he was accompanied by his manager. He was asked if he's having heavy feelings? Bosco said: "Of course I am unhappy. As an artist, I am prepared to have no privacy, but this is in my own bedroom, that has already gone over my limit. I also have a mother!"

Bosco frankly said he likes homes with sunshine, and loves to walk around the house naked after taking a shower. Asked if Myolie Wu was there at the time? He said: "No! The photos weren't taken at the same time. (Cohabiting?) She's living upstairs, but she always comes over for dinner." He reveals that he contacted Myolie after this incident, and she comforted him. Bosco was asked why he didn't comfort him, she was also photographed? He said: "Many friends called to comfort me. (Why was she still wearing her ancient style hair?) She was working!" As to if they 'celebrated' that there weren't any more private photos of Myolie? He expressed Myolie is probably more careful. When asked when they are going to announce their relationship? Bosco said: "Later we'll talk about it, I don't have the mood now. My work has not been affected. When I was shooting outdoor scenes in the afternoon, my manager sent me the photos from the magazine, I even showed them to Michael Tse and the director. (Many people praised you have a nice body and butt?) Thank you all. (Will you change your habits?) As an artist, I don't want to change. (Will you consider moving?) Not necessary, I don't want the report to impact my life, just be more careful in the future. When I take my clothes off, I'll pull down the curtains." As for Myolie she responded through SMS that she has no comment.

TVB issued a critical statement out denouncing the reports by Sudden Weekly and FACE Magazine. Following their behavior on Vincent Wong and Yoyo Chen earlier, now they secretly photograph Bosco Wong at his house. TVB stressed that taking photos of artists in their own home is already invading their privacy, it is immoral behavior and completely violates one's privacy. TVB and their artists reserves the right to take legal action.

Yoyo Chen is furious

Earlier, Yoyo Chen was in a similar situation as Bosco, yesterday she blamed the photographer as a disgrace. This is just like taking naked photos after raping someone and then announcing it to the world. Yoyo said: "We are already getting crushed to the heart by people! It is already enough that we get followed by the paparazzi! Artists are normal people too, they go home and have their own private life. We have to maintain a good image in front of audience and now we get photographed by a group of shameful people! Even that small little privacy, we lose it too. I feel that Bosco should really go sue them!" As for TVB issuing out a critical statement to Sudden Weekly and FACE, Yoyo thanked TVB for giving the victims back their dignity, but to get justice, that will be based on how the government handles it.

Bosco's good friend Raymond Lam felt sorry for him: "This incident is stepping into the legal world, I am personally very careful and have my curtains down all the time, no sunshine at all." Another good friend, Ron Ng said: "I also keep my curtains down, I am not afraid, people that photograph my house will just get me and my mom, and our house worker."

Selena Li spends night with a new boyfriend

Since breaking up with ex-boyfriend Patrick Tang (鄧健泓) two years ago, Selena Li (李詩韻)was romantically rumored with TVB colleagues, Kenneth Ma (馬國明), Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎), and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠). Since Selena possessed beautiful looks, a good figure, a good educational background, and business skills, it was normal that many men were rumored to be interested in her. However, 30-year-old Selena already had a “Mr. Right” and her relationship with her boyfriend has advanced to spending the night together!

Selena was previously in a 5-year relationship with Patrick Tang, in which the pair had numerous breakups and reconciliations. The pair officially ended their relationship in 2009. Selena moved into her relative’s house in Mei Foo Sun Chun. Although there were rumors that Patrick hoped to reconcile their relationship at the end of 2009, Selena returned to Canada to complete her university degree and officially announced her single status. Last year, Patrick admitted that he was dating TVB actress, Katy Kung (龔嘉欣).

Taking a Detour to Meet with Boyfriend

Last Friday night, Selena wore full make-up to meet with her new boyfriend and a female friend for a night of fun in theCentral district. After dancing and chatting for two hours, Selena was extremely satisfied when she left. After saying goodbye to her female friend, Selena appeared to be quite alert and walked with her new boyfriend. The pair did not display any intimate behavior.

Suddenly, Selena’s boyfriend entered a convenience store. Selena boarded a taxi. Later, Selena’s boyfriend came out of the convenience store and took a taxi as well. After a few blocks, Selena’s boyfriend boarded Selena’s Audi car, which was parked behind Dragon-i waiting for him.

To prevent being followed, Selena drove very carefully, frequently accelerating and slowing down before reaching her home in Mei Foo Sun Chuen. The next day afternoon, Selena’s new boyfriend still did not leave her house yet.

Vanness Wu photoshoot for new album C’est La V

2011-06-10T20:21:00.000-07:00

Van Ness Wu especially went to South Korea to get a new style and to get his photo shoot done for his upcoming new album. Photographer Zo Sun Hi has previously done photo shoots for Rain, Big Bang, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi and more; it’s the first time Zo Sun Hi has worked with Van Ness and although they originally agreed to do only 10 sets of photos, Zo was generous enough to help take two more sets for Van Ness.

In the photo where Van Ness has a cape on, he had to jump almost 200 times in order to capture the movement of the cape flapping in mid-air. In the other photo, black tulle wrapped over Van Ness’s head. He humorously said, “That lace…the tulle over my face felt really interesting. It must be the same feeling as a girl wearing stockings?!”

Van Ness’s new album, “C’est La V”, will be released on July 8th.

Wuzun and Hangeng Action Film My Kingdom

2011-06-10T20:14:00.000-07:00

Stars battle for top, Wu Chun, Hangeng transform to "Proud and Tenacious Twins"

The first Movie Trailer Release ceremony was held in Beijing this May for the Action-Romance film 《My Kingdom》, which was directed by Gao Xiaosong, script written by Zou Jing, action sequenced by Sammo Hung, and starring Hangeng, Wu Chun, Barbie Hsu, Ha Ling Chun, Louis Liu, Ringo Yu, and Annie Yi. The director Gao Xiaosong, along with Hangeng and Wu Chun pounded drums to mark the occasion when they attended the ceremony, where it was announced that 《My Kingdom》 will be released worldwide in August this summer.

During the Movie Trailer Release ceremony the two popular idols Hangeng and Wu Chun showed some of the action moves and talked a bit about their hardships in making the movie. The two stars also light-heartedly joked that they want to become students of Sammo Hung and establish a “Jing Wu” federation.

(Note: In mandarin “Jing Wu”, which means “Beijing Opera and Martial Arts, is pronounced the same as “Chin Woo”, which is a famous Chinese martial arts organization.)
While the movie trailer, which showed the struggle between various martial art masters to obtain the golden plaque “Champion of the Wu Sheng”, displayed the spectacular martial art style that came from Sammo Hung fusing together Wushu and Beijing Opera. The new style of action brings with it a breath of fresh air and exemplifies the saying “No-one can stop the model-man who knows Wushu”.

(Note: “Wu Sheng” is someone who specializes in fighting scenes in traditional Beijing Opera.)

《My Kingdom》exposes a major conspiracy within the Chinese martial arts community

“Whoever is the true Da Wu Sheng, then whoever this plaque will go to.” The opening line of the trailer exposes the film’s main theme–“Fight for the Plaque”. In the movie Wu Chun and Hangeng portray a pair of Wu Sheng brothers who grew up together. As they stepped onto the stage, they also bore with them the destiny of winning back the plaque and the face/honor of their school, however, just like what Barbie Hsu stated in the trailer, “The plaque will bring bad luck to whoever that holds it”. The domineering Ringo Yu, the grief and scorn of Ha Ling Chun, and the sly charm of Louis Liu all forebode a deadly clash, while in the film Wu Chun and Hangeng, brothers who grew up together, in the end will have to fight to the death. The beheaded old man’s vicious vow to “Execute your entire clan” blankets the entire story in a major cabal.

(Note: “Da Wu Sheng” means “The Great Wu Sheng”)
In director Gao Xiaosong’s eyes, Chinese Kung Fu movies and action stars are becoming excessively complacent, and 《My Kingdom》 has to have new creative ideas; “Our logo is “The most tenacious idols, the most spectacular martial arts”. In addition, the story by top screenwriter Zou Jing not only guarantees this action movie’s commercial marketability but also promises to have intense love and hate intrigues.

Hangeng, Wu Chun becomes “Proud and Tenacious Twins”

Wu Chun already exhibited a rugged and strength filled image in 《14 Blades》, and the movements of Hangeng, who practiced dancing since he was little, permeate with power. In the first trailer, the unique fighting sequences became the focal point; Hangeng and Wu Chun’s ferocious battle by the stairs not only displayed an admirable ruthless air, but also displayed an aesthetic of violence described by Hangeng as “Grand poses, very cool fighting, and the action natural and unrestrained”. This is a breath of fresh air for those audiences who are bored and tired with Kung Fu movies filmed in the same traditional ways.

According to Wu Chun, for the movie he hung on wires above a staircase for a week, and, because of that, he was often bruised from head to toe. While Hangeng, in his first movie, due to his enthusiasm and unrestrained practicing, strained a muscle just a few days after he joined in preparations with the rest of the cast, thus earning him the nickname “Fresh and Fierce Seafood”. When talking about who’s kung fu is better, both men, however, humbly expressed that the other person is the true “Da Wu Sheng”.

Sammo Hung creates another “Jing Wu” federation

Sammo Hung himself started out as a Wu Sheng in Chinese Beijing Opera, and in making 《My Kingdom》 he was in his element. Sammo Hung stated that “Out of the over 200 films I’ve made both in China and overseas, the scripts that can be rated as excellent does not number 10 in total, and 《My Kingdom》 is one of the 10”. Sammo Hung spent a whole year’s time to add his understanding of Wu Sheng into the action sequences, and created the most spectacular martial art footages and a new school in the action genre: “Jing Wu” federation. Because of Sammo Hung’s work, director Gao Xiaosong highly praised him as currently the best action director, saying “I saw elder brother Sammo Hung blend the traditional Beijing Opera moves that has been perfected over several hundred years into martial arts sequences, it presented a very unique and a very cool flavor”.

Two clips of Sammo Hung in the making of fight scenes were also shown during the Movie Trailer Release ceremony. The clips showed that Sammo Hung became a meat cushion and personally worked on the action moves with Wu Chun and Hangeng. Wu Chun revealed that Sammo Hung had always hoped to promote more upcoming Kung Fu action actors, and had called the cast together for training three months before the actual filming began. Sammo Hung not only meticulously taught every little movement, but also “filmed the entire sequences before hand as a model for us.”

Get ready for Jane Zhang fifth album Reform

2011-06-10T20:12:00.000-07:00

Pop star knows some fans might not approve of her new hard-edged album, but the former Supergirl star is determined to be true to herself, report Han Bingbin and Qin Zhongwei.

With her fame and reputation, Jane Zhang, the diva-to-be, finds herself struggling to decide between what she wants to sing and what the public wants to hear from her.

As soon as she became a professional singer after winning the Supergirl competition in 2005, one of the nation's most-watched singing contests and an attempt by Hunan Television to identify talent from the grassroots, Zhang's recording company gave her final say on what material she chose to sing. But as a 20-year-old back then, she was too kind to let anyone down by refusing a song.

So, many of her No 1s have been crowd-pleasing plaintive love songs. But Zhang said that was not her true self.

Although on many occasions she has behaved bashfully, Zhang said she was in fact an outgoing and passionate person. She always wanted her albums to be not only a flattering commercial success, but also an honest expression of her artistic disposition.

So here she is, announcing that she is ready to surprise and challenge audiences with a breakthrough fifth album, Reform (her second album with Universal International). Zhang said more than 60 per cent of the album, which was released on June 1, can be labeled as typical Jane Zhang style.

Seven of the 10 songs on the album were composed by US musicians and a US postproduction team was involved to guarantee top quality. The company has two notable names - Michael Jay, who worked with Eminem and Kylie Minogue, and Gene Grimaldi, who is said to be Lady Gaga's exclusive recording engineer.

The musical style has little to do with Chinese-style pop sentimentality. The songs cover a range of styles, from R&B to rock, hip pop and dance. Zhang said fans will immediately hear the changes as soon as they put on the earphones.

A loyal fan of Mariah Carey and Beyonce, Zhang is no stranger to these musical forms. But after years singing rueful, romantic melodies, it still took time for her to settle into more energetic beats and sexier tones.

Zhang had to get rid of the habit of restraining her voice and sing with a more open and forceful attitude.

That was not too hard, she said, compared to some physical changes, such as dancing and dressing in a more overtly sexy style.

While shooting the album cover in leg-less one-piece tights, Zhang felt too shy to stand before the camera although she was assured that she was dressed appropriately and attractively. She was still a little concerned when her sexily packaged album was handed out to the media and fans during the press conference that launched the record.

After so many years it seems Zhang's voice is ready to be a big star, but her mind is not. She still prefers to stand for interviews for hours if she has worn a short skirt.

She hates to be photographed candidly, although many other performers would see that as a way to increase their exposure. And unlike many other pop stars who skillfully hedge questions about their personal lives, Zhang's way has been to stare straight into a questioner's eyes and firmly say "no" to such questions.

"It is so restrictive, being an artist," she said. "I want to be just like I was before, to overcome my misgivings and struggles, say what I want to say and do what I want to do. To be the real me."

That attitude is reflected on the new album. Zhang wrote the lyrics for three songs, including one she composed herself. One of them, called Brave, is a faithful reflection of Zhang's personal attitude to being a pop star: "Why should I be restricted, I like to dance freely."

But after releasing four bestselling albums and two runaway singles that were mostly based on love melodies, Zhang knows there is a price to pay for being free and changing her style.

Many people, even loyal fans, have already complained online about the lack of love songs on the new album. On the music site of Baidu, the so-called Chinese Billboard, the most popular song on Reform had been listened to more than 320,000 times by Monday, while all the others had not quite reached 100,000 hits each. Some songs by Zhang's successors on Supergirl, mostly soothing love songs, have been listened to more than 10 million times.

Zhang has finally realized that to change her style does not require her to battle with herself but with the general musical taste of the Chinese public.

Actually, Zhang has a goal behind these changes. She thinks the reason why many young people like quiet melancholy songs is because the sadness they express corresponds to their loneliness.

They feel lonely because they spend too much time online alone, Zhang said. She hopes that people can escape from the isolated Internet world to embrace a happier party mood.

Despite having a positive aim with her new direction, the challenge is still there. When swamped by questions about whether she was afraid of losing fans because of her pioneering stance, the young singer honestly admitted that she was concerned.

"Sure, I'm worried, but I don't want to be worried," she said. "I don't want to shoulder too many public expectations. I have my own expectations, too, and I will be the kind of singer I want to be."

Jimmy Lin and wife picking out wedding rings; Reception at Aegean Sea

Jimmy Lin’s father passed away from a heart attack in April. Jimmy and his wife Kelly were planning a wedding reception in the summer but had to postpone for a year. But according to insiders the couple are still planning a romantic island reception. They were spotted at Cartier yesterday picking out a wedding ring. Kelly has regained her figure and showed off her slender legs. But Jimmy still looked depressed 6 weeks after his loss. When is the wedding reception? His manager said, “It depends on his schedule. It may still be held this year.”

The couple dated for 5 years. She was photographed peeling shrimps for him but he denied the relationship. Kelly gave birth to their son in California in September, 2009. Jimmy announced the birth a month later at his own birthday bash and admitted that he and Kelly were already married.

Reporters photographed them in a shopping mall on June 1, 2011. With his baby face, the 36 years old father looks like Kelly’s younger brother. The couple picked out wedding rings at Cartier for half an hour but left empty-handed.

Jimmy enjoys fatherhood and pampers his son. The license plate on his Porsche is his son Kimi’s birthday: 0915. On their way home Kelly was dropped off to buy dinner. The former model doesn’t look like she has given birth.

Cyndi Wang Bed Scenes with Mike He in drama Love Keeps Going

2011-06-10T20:02:00.000-07:00

Cyndi Wang and Mike He had exotic bed scenes in idol drama "Love Keeps Going". This made Xiaomei self-mock that this drama had "three many": many lines, many kissing scenes, and many revealings (of his body). However, their good acting skills made the people at the side tease that there must be true love, causing the two who were bothered by the scandal to push to the director, laughing that it was because the director had taught them well!

The director also made Xiaomei reveal his butt. Eli Si laughed that Xiaomei had a better figure, so why not just let him show it! Cyndi Wang previously filmed an MV with Show Luo. Xiaomei teased that they were collaborating on the album, so Cyndi Wang replied saying “Our bed scene is powerful enough!” Xiaomei immediately cleared that their collaboration was on the mental scale!

Xiaomei also sang a song in this drama; however, he laughed that he had not trained adequately and thus was unwilling to sing live. He said that if the ratings were to break 2 points he would sing, but then changed his mind to 26 points afterward! Cyndi Wang praised that Xiaomei was very serious and also encouraged Xiaomei that singing could be practiced! When asked whether the two of them had a chance of collaborating in Cyndi Wang’s next album, Xiaomei immediately jumped in to say that his work was very busy; he only sang this time because of the character. He laughed and said that hopefully he did not scare anyone with his singing. He also pulled his good friend Joe Zheng into the waters. He laughed “If Xiaozong can sing and dance, I can follow his steps”. This made it seem like he had confidence with his singing, however, he avoided it when he was asked to sing live.

Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu new series Ghettto Justice

2011-06-01T00:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday the cast to TVB new series Ghetto Justice arrived at Sham Siu Po on an open top bus for the promotional event. The cast includes Myolie Wu, Kevin Cheng, Jazz Lam, Sharon Chan, Joyce Tang, Sam Lee, and Sek Sau. On the bus, Jazz shouted down to the neighbors that they must remember to support the "brothel", and resulted in scolds by parents on the street that he's a bad influence on children. Myolie immediately explained that the 'brothel' is referring to Sharon Chan's role. Initially the cast was suppose to get off the bus and give out fliers on the street, but unfortunately there were too many people surrounding.

Myolie exposed that Kevin has a scene where he reveals his behind on the first episode. Kevin was asked if he especially worked out for the scene? He said: "How to work out? I really don't know how to. (Good TV ratings will reveal more?) Leave the revealing to Myolie! In fact, I don't really have much expectation for the ratings. If I can foresee it, then I would go buy lottery!"

It was said that because TVB wanted to protect their TV Big Brother status, they are urgently pushing the rumored couples to boost the momentum at the Sales Presentation 2012. The two expressed that they only know there is a "Show Hand Event" in July. Kevin was asked if he minds being arranged to work with ex-rumored girlfriends Charmaine Sheh and Niki Chow again? He said: "Will worry about it when there are actual arrangements because this may not be the plan. It's a matter of opinion whether or not there is gold to suck. (If can earn money, anything is possible?) In fact, there is nothing for me to mind about, it's not the first time." Myolie does not mind working with either Bosco Wong or Kate Tsui. She said: "Best would be for us 3 to be together, and add in Kevin too, that be the best!"

Both Joyce Tang and Stephen Wong were rumored to be in a new relationship respectively, but both denied. Joyce said: "The person in the photos is not a new love interest, just a friend. I currently still single. After all I am currently living a happy life, the only heart breaking event is that my dog that I raised for 19 years passed away." Stephen also denied dating Coffee Lu and stressed that they are just friends.

2011-06-01T00:38:00.000-07:00

Raymond Lam's two rumored girlfriends Linda Chung and Rose Chan were said to have similar looks. Yesterday the two encounter one another at beauty salon opening ceremony. It was seen that Linda and Rose were very generous on stage and chatted happily. Linda laughed: "I haven't seen Rose before, but I know people say she looks like me. I don't really feel so though, most important is that I personally have my own feeling. (She's also rumored with Raymond Lam?) Just a coincidence, and I want to talk to her. I feel she's a very sweet and tall girl."

When speaking of not having to appear sexy for the beauty salon endorsement, Linda said: "Because the boss loves me very much, it's not my own request. Actually the boss feels that I have a healthy image. (Will the next season Ads be in a bikini?) The most important is healthy results, doesn't matter if its bikini. I lived in Canada before and is considered a Western girl, so the outcome results are pretty, I don't mind. (Will you it be money-based?) My manager decides that, I don't understand these things, I am just responsible for bringing myself out."

Roses also felt she doesn't look like Linda. She said: "People have always said that, but I personally don't think so. (Does Raymond think so?) You have to ask him, I don't keep in touch with him. However, I really admire Linda, before I watched her performance as Seung Joi Sum (Heart of Greed), her acting was so real, she cried beautifully. I have to watch more of her work. (Feel awkward being at the same event?) No, not awkward with anyone."

Cecilia Cheung and Kwon Sung Woo in film Repaeat I Love You

2011-06-01T00:32:00.000-07:00

Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi and Korean hunk Kwon Sung-Woo starred new film REPEAT, I LOVE YOU yesterday held a press conference in Shenzhen. News figure Pak Chi was absent due to health reasons. Attendees included producer Stanley Kwan Kam Peng, director Calvin Poon Yuen Leung, actors Angela Chang Siu Hom, Jing Boran, Jing Tian, Sphinx Ting Chun Sing and Chen Taisheng.

At the press conference, producer Kwan Kam Peng waited until the end to express regret about Pak Chi's absence. Because Pak Chi was very involved on the set, the production made her very tired. He hoped that everyone would understand and give her some time. Later the host also said that Pak Chi could not attend due to health reasons and asked everyone to applaud to wish her an early recovery. As the press conference, the team broke into three groups of media interviews. Kwan Kam Peng who was with Kwon Sung-Woo and Chen Taisheng first stated, "Just ask me anything about Cheung Pak Chi, Kwon Sung-Woo doesn't want to say anything for Cheung Pak Chi." He honeslty said that Pak Chi's manager Emily yesterday also came to Shenzhen for a meeting and gave the team an understanding of Pak Chi's current health condition. He said, "Emily said that she would head back and 'convince' Pak Chi to return to work as soon as possible. (Does the term convince mean she is unwilling to return?) We have to give her even greater support. In the film she played two different characters who are very different, the pressure is also large. In addition recently something unpleasant happened to her, the pressure and the exhaustion were even greater." Would Pak Chi's time off affect the production progress? Kwan Kam Peng continued, "We have another plan, hopefully we make up the progress. Kwon Sung-Woo in June will head to Paris for Jackie Chan's film, but Pak Chi's role will not be eliminated." He revealed that Pak Chi originally would return to the team two days ago. Emily would inform them when she would return. However he was not worried that Pak Chi would quit the film halfway and was confident that Pak Chi will be back soon.

Pak Chi's absence left Kwon Sung-Woo to carry the load alone. He said that for his first overseas development and movie in China he inevitably was nervous. Luckily with everyone's care and assistance the collaboration has been very pleasant. He also cherished this chance very
much. Because this was his first movie for the overseas market, it was very important to him. As for working with Pak Chi for the first time, Kwon Sung-Woo praised Pak Chi as a very seasoned actress in Chinese film. She did not just rely on one or two film to have everything that she had today. In the film her acting was very outstanding. She also worked on a Korean film before, and FAILAN was very popular with the Korean viewers. He said, "On this collaboration, many on the set said that she was very focused and performed very well. Pak Chi in the film played two characters, a lady and a strong woman. She gave a very focused performance and helped me a lot." In addition Kwon Sung-Woo reportedly was not used to Chinese food and insisted on Korean food during the shoot. He clarified that the report was baseless and honestly said that he liked Chinese food. As for whether Pak Chi's time off would affect his new film schedule in Paris next month, he believed that they had ample time and he would not be affected.

Director Poon Yuen Leung, Jing Tian and Ting Chun Sing were interviewed. Poon Yuen Leung revealed that the film has already more than half shot. As for Pak Chi's time off, he said, "Everything about her has been said on stage, I don't have anything to add. (When will she return to work?) No comment." Jing Tian played Pak Chi's cousin and had many scenes together. She felt that Pak Chi was very nice and her idol. Speaking of Pak Chi's time off, Poon Yuen Leung immediately cut in. "I believe we all lover her. Everyone is supportive of her. We are done."

Gillian Chung scolded Actress Shao Xiaoshan on weibo

2011-06-01T00:23:00.000-07:00

Providing assistance to others is originally a good deed, what is the reason for it leading into a war of words? Recently, mainland actress Shao Xiaoshan and Gillian Chung each had words to say on Weibo (Chinese twitter) and a large number of Gillian's fans intervened, forcing Shao Xiaoshan's Weibo to shut down permanently.

The matter began since both parties are providing financial aid to a father and daughter (Ren Yabo and daughter Ming Ming) from Heilongjiang, China. Shao Xiaoshan stated that she donated 4 000 Yuan to the Ren family, but the father Mr. Ren stated that he only received about 1 000 Yuan. Gillian Chung posted a message on her Weibo account criticizing and mocking Shao Xiaoshan. Shao Xiaoshan fought back with a reply referencing Gillian's sex photo scandal, arousing fans' hostile attack from all sides, causing Shao Xiaoshan's Weibo to be shut down.

During an interview with Ent Ifeng, Shao Xiaoshan expressed, she does not believe her retaliation was inappropriate: "She (Gillian) first scolded me, calling me a 'self-publicist' and 'devil.' What is wrong with me saying her Sex Photos Gate?" But she repeatedly emphasized that she hopes those fans stop their ill-intentioned attacks, "Put this dark energy into proper energy, even if each of Gillian's fans donated 50, 100 to help others."

Cecilia Cheung met Edison Chen on a flight

2011-05-26T08:18:00.000-07:00

In 2008, a sex photo scandal that rocked the Chinese showbiz turned Hong Kong actors Edison Chen and Cecilia Cheung into overnight enemies.

Recently, it was reported that the two met on a flight, and Cecilia had even asked to sit next to Edison. She also took photos with him.

Although Cecilia later denied that it ever happened, Edison admitted to taking pictures with her.

On May 23, Cecilia's manger responded, "Forgiving others is like forgiving yourself. We are all in showbiz and will always run into each other. When you meet someone you know on a flight, it is basic manners to acknowledge and talk to the person."

Cecilia has yet to respond to this thus far.

In other related reports, Edison was said to be writing a musical based on his life.

However, when asked if he would include the scandal into the musical, the singer merely claimed that "it's not done yet".

Edison also described his coincidental meet-up with Cecilia to be "very happy" and "not embarrassing".

Commenting on the question about working with Cecilia in the future, Edison complimented the actress saying, "Her acting (skills) is great."

He also expressed his wish to meet with Cecilia's husband Nicholas Tse, and hopes that "it would not be a big issue by then".

Joseph Chang and Rainie Yang bed scene in drama Love You

2011-05-26T08:16:00.000-07:00

Joseph Chang and Rainie Yang’s bed scene sure helped the drama boost its ratings. Episode six of “Love You” scored an average of 4.22% last Sunday, becoming the winner of its time slot. Both Joseph and Tom Price have agreed to dive into the water if ratings break 5%. Seeing that the drama is not far from the mark, the two actors have already started working out. However, netizens are not quite satisfied with just a dive, some have requested for Joseph to go skinny dipping like Ethan Ruan when ratings reaches 10%.

Five particular scenes scored above 5% on last Sunday, which included Joseph and Rainie’s bed scene, Joseph and Rainie making buns, Joseph and Rainie being surrounded by love songs, the tension between Joseph, Rainie and Tiffany Hsu’s love-triangle, and Joseph and Lin Mei-Shiu’s conversation.

Although many viewers expressed liking the main couple a lot, some worried, “If this goes on, wouldn’t it make the female lead the one stealing someone else’s love? Will this become the ‘Fierce Third Person’?” -- referencing the hit series "Fierce Wife". On the other hand, others commented, “The two lead characters already got married. It was his ex-girlfriend (Tiffany) who didn’t cherish him, so you can’t blame Xiao-Ru (Rainie)!”

Calvin Chen is dating with singer Joanne Tseng

2011-05-26T08:14:00.000-07:00

Taiwanese boy band Fahrenheit's Calvin Chen once said that he wished to get married before he turns 31. However, wedding bells have yet to tow for Calvin, who turned 31 this year.

It was revealed that the reason behind his unfulfilled dream is partly due to his 22-year-old girlfriend singer Joanne Tseng, who is too young to consider marriage plans.

After attending a friend's wedding last month, Calvin, who craved for a family of his own, posted on his blog, "I'm really touched as I watched him said his vows on stage. Hope you guys will live happily!"

The post received a lot of comments from netizens asking him, "When is it going to be your turn?" Some even encouraged him to work harder at finding his own happiness, and hoped he will find a partner soon.

At the media conference of the launch of his book Journey Backwards: Calvin Chen's Vancouver Foreign Study Diary on May 23, Calvin was again questioned about his marriage plans.

"I used to hope to get married by 30 years old. However, I have no interest in finding a girlfriend currently; I want [to date] someone who I can end up marrying," the singer quipped.

When asked if Joanne is of "marriageable type", Calvin immediately said that they are "good friends" and used Amber Ann as his getaway shield.

"Amber is always ready. Whenever I needed help, she'll always be there. But we're just close friends who get along well," Calvin said.

So are both Joanne and Amber just his good friends?

Calvin finally cracked under pressure and revealed, "Well, there are two types of friends -- one might have a more ambiguous relationship than the other."

He indirectly admitted his relationship with Joanne. However, as Joanne is currently busy working in China, Calvin sighed, "We haven't seen each other for two months now."

The GIO released a statement today to announce that Yisa Yu has been disqualified for best new artist for the Golden Melody Awards. After thorough investigation, it was found that Yu had released an album under her current name in September of 2009 (郁可唯-《郁音繞梁DSD》/ ISRC：CN-F18-09-362-00/A.J6 / published by Guangdong Oriental Media Limited). Thus, Yu does not qualify as a new artist of 2010. The GIO also used An You-Qi's case from the 18th annual GMA as precedence to not limit album releases to only Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu.

In related news, the head of GMA's judging panel Jerry Huang refuted previous statements of him criticizing Hebe Tien for using "too much voice correction technology." Huang explained, "They (reporters) asked me what I thought about Hebe, and I said, 'her work is very exceptional, otherwise it wouldn't be nominated for so many categories.' Then they asked me about others who did not get nominated, so I summarized the general opinion of our judging panel but the media decided to interpret it as one thing and thought that I was criticizing Hebe." Huang also made fun of himself, saying that he can't sing as well as his recorded albums.

45 year-old Jerry Huang was married back in March. He and his wife Sophia, who is 24 years his junior, will be holding their wedding reception next month.

Shu Qi kiss Liu Ye in film A Beautiful Life

2011-05-16T20:58:00.000-07:00

Shu Qi in A BEAUTIFUL LIFE not only cried the most in her film career but also drank the most. In the first scene at the karaoke she had to keep drinking, accidentally entered the male bathroom and vomited on the back of Liu Ye who was relieving himself.

To Shu Qi, she was able to handle the drunk scene. However when she had to jump on Liu Ye's back she almost lost her life. Because Liu Ye was tall, jumping onto Liu Ye's back was already somewhat difficult. After the jump she had to fall onto the concrete ground, which made the scene even more difficult. In another scene Liu Ye took Shu Qi home and Shu Qi forced a kiss on Liu Ye. Shu Qi joked that she felt like a mad woman as she grabbed Liu Ye to kiss, but Liu Ye kept pushing her away hard. Because Liu Ye had to appear to be a gentleman, Liu Ye had to look unwilling. Liu Ye said, "This was contrary to what I was thinking. I would push away a pretty woman like Shu Qi? The director is treating me too well?"

At the media launch of her latest music single, Sticky, Cyndi Wang called the media "heartless" for speculations on her higher nose bridge, and urged all media to give artistes their personal space.

Recently hospitalised for cellilutis, the singer-actress was spotted with a higher nose bridge and a different jaw line after her discharge, which fueled speculations that Cyndi went under the knife.

Her first time responding to said allegations, Cyndi jokingly began with, "these heartless [reporters]!" as she lamented, "My mom was angry when she read all these untrue reports. She said 'Why are they so inconsiderate, unfriendly, and nonsensical.'"

The 28-year-old added, "When I was hospitalized, I received six jabs a day and my face swelled. Although we are all public figures with our personal lives in the limelight, untrue reports can bring a lot of hurt to our family and friends. I hope that everyone will stop making up such stories."

Responding to her "prettier looks" after discharge, Cyndi gleefully shared, "That's because I had sufficient rest, a fixed exercise regime and enough vitamins. My body is in a good condition and that improves my mood tremendously."

Donnie Yen as Guan Yu in The Lost Bladesman

2011-05-05T20:49:00.000-07:00

Donnie Yen Chi Tan in THE LOST BLADESMAN (GUAN WON CHEUNG) played Guan Yu, which recently has become one of the focus character of online attention. A slogan even spread online, "With Love With Honor Watch Lord Guan, Without Love Without Honor 'Thunder' Struck". Chi Tan thought it was good and said that the slogan had momentum. In the past many actors have played Lord Guan, each with his own uniqueness. He also wanted everyone to see how he interpreted a different Lord Guan under the cameras of directors Alan Mak Siu Fai and Felix Chong Man Keung.

Chi Tan pointed out, Guan Yunchang was one of the most difficult characters that he has ever played. With Sun Wukong he got his inspiration from his son, but with Guan Yunchang he had nowhere to start. With the difficulty, he had to work extra hard to study this character. However the biggest challenge was Chi Tan felt a lot of pressure with his limited Putonghua in front of the fluent in Putonghua Jiang Wen.

Chi Tan said that working with Jiang Wen was a pleasure, but he did not understand Cantonese and his own Putonghua was lacking. Thus when they rehearsed with Putonghua they had certain difficulties. He had to concentrate even more. During the shoot, Chi Tan spent his free time on the vehicle that the team provided for him and drove around the hills to reduce stress. The crew joked that they were enlighten to the fact that Lord Guan actually loved to drive fast too.

In addition, the famous North American distributor Weintstein earlier already bought the right to THE LOST BLADESMAN, which will be released in North America. Actually Weinstein's boss was a top Chi Tan fan. Chi Tan was excited about the North American purchase and hoped to perform in the North American market with this film.

2011-05-05T20:44:00.000-07:00

Kate Tsui Chi San wore $40 million (HKD) in diamonds at a jewelry promotional event. Kate expressed her excitement in the jewelry she was modeling, “I am very happy and excited. This is the most expensive set of jewelry I have ever worn! It is worth close to $40 million (HKD) and simply what I always dreamed of!”

Kate indicated that the criteria in choosing a partner were filial piety and a strong sense of responsibility. Asked whether rumored flame, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, possessed these qualities, Kate said, “My good brother? In fact, we have partnered in many series together. This is not the first time [the media reported] on romantic rumors. Of course this is not true! Let’s consider the romantic rumors as publicity for the series. Since Ron and I have the same manager, we know each other well. We are good friends and brothers!”

Defends Ron Ng’s Integrity

Recent tabloids portrayed Ron Ng as a player, claiming that he pursued TVB colleague, Sire Ma Choi, and used her money. When asked whether Ron was pursuing Sire, Kate said, “I don’t know. We are brothers and don’t discuss these issues. Maybe he considered me to be a ‘man’ and did not tell me.”

Did Kate swear that she and Ron were not dating? Kate replied, “I am numbed by the frequent rumors!”

Kate defended Ron’s integrity and noted it was unfair for tabloid to claim that he used women’s money, “He is not like that. We always split the bill [when we eat out].”

Ron Ng Cheuk Hei attended a bowling game to promote Yes Sir, Sorry Sir <點解阿Sir係阿Sir> with fellow cast members, Moses Chan Ho, Tavia Yeung Yi, and Linda Chung Ka Yan. A recent tabloid claimed that Ron was living together with TVB colleague, Sire Ma Choi, while cheating on rumored girlfriend, Kate Tsui Chi San.

Pointing out that he did not know Sire that well, Ron emphasized that they were only colleagues, let alone living together! Ron also emphasized that Sire was not the type of woman he preferred! Why was Ron so blunt? “The tabloids claimed that I was using her money. I do not know whether Sire is rich or not. I am upset by the claims that I eat ‘soft rice!’ I have the ability to earn my own money and will not use women’s money.”

Noting that the tabloids were completely false, Sire denied that she was living together with Ron. Since Ron took care of her during filming in the past, Sire referred to Ron as her ‘sihing” (elder brother).

At a jewelry promotional event, Kate Tsui also denied that she was in a relationship with Ron, claiming they were only brothers. She felt that recent tabloid rumors were unfair in the way they portrayed Ron. When asked by reporters to swear that she and Ron were not dating, Kate only said, “I am numbed by this type of rumors!”

Patty Hou married with Ken Huang in Bali Island

2011-04-27T01:01:00.000-07:00

Taiwanese host Patty Hou will walk down the aisle with her fiancé Ken Huang on Apr 17.

Yesterday, the couple appeared at the airport, preparing to leave for Bali, Indonesia. The bride-to-be kept her smile on throughout the entire time when she was swarmed by reporters.

Decked in spring attire and minimal makeup, Patty wore a pair of huge sunglasses, which did not hide the bliss radiating from her.

She expressed that the wedding would be a simple affair. The couple had only invited about 30 family and friends. They did not select any church, nor would the wedding be on a beach. Patty also let on that the couple did not take any wedding photos either.

"We hope everyone would have a good time. It's not every day that we can hang out with our relatives," Patty said.

Looking casual in a plain, white tee and blue jeans, it was the first time fiancé Ken appeared in the media, which was probably why he seemed a little nervous. When the couple alighted from the vehicle, Patty held on to his hand tightly.

When asked if she was going to have children after her marriage, Patty expressed that it would not happen in a while.

"I have to start work once I return home. I think I'll wait for a year or two," she said.

Jerry Yan is dating with Terri Kwan

2011-04-27T00:57:00.000-07:00

In 2009, Taiwanese actor Jerry Yan and actress Terri Kwan worked together on the drama Starlit and was later rumoured to be dating each other. However, the pair always maintained that they were nothing more than friends.

Recently, a Taiwanese tabloid revealed that the celebs were actually dating each other.

According to the source, Jerry and Terri had been dating in secret for the past two years and despite the frequent quarrels, the couple did not break up.

It is known that rumours of the two celebs began after Terri was spotted going to Jerry's place two years ago. In November that same year, the two was said to have toured Sumerian Island together.

Last year, Terri said that "it was an old rumour" and described her relationship with Jerry as a "human and ghost" one.

However, the tabloid refuted that Terri once revealed her views on love and said she hopes to date in secret and intends to get married suddenly without her parents' knowledge.

When interviewed, Jerry's management expressed that it is normal for celebs to be meeting each other. The company will not interfere and hopes that the public will stop speculating.

Terri's manager replied that the company will not interfere on their artistes' personal relationships and is unsure of Terri's relationship status now. The manager added that Terri and Jerry are friends and it is usual for the two to keep in contact.

Wong Cho Lam and Leanne Li in no sex relationship

2011-04-02T01:42:00.000-07:00

Dating for two years, devout Christians, Wong Cho Lam and Leanne Li pledged to abstain from sex before marriage. They often included their friends on their romantic dates. When sexual temptations crossed their minds, Cho Lam and Leanne will quickly pray to God for assistance. Wearing matching chastity rings, Cho Lam and Leanne will monitor each other to resist desire.

Promised Vows

Earlier this year, Cho Lam gave Leanne a simply patterned ring, engraved with the words, “Love + Purity.” The ring was a symbol of the Christian practice of remaining chaste before marriage. Cho Lam gave the chastity ring to Leanne as a token of love, while wearing a matching ring himself. Although the pair do not have marriage intentions at this stage, Cho Lam allegedly vowed a lifelong committment to Leanne when he gave her the chastity ring.

“The pair of chastity rings represent a couple’s vows, including abstinence from pre-marital sex, belief in monogamy, and lifetime devotion to each other. Cho Lam and Leanne said they regarded their chastity rings with equal importance as wedding rings,” a source close to the couple revealed.

To abstain from pre-marital sex, Cho Lam and Leanne had to take several precautionary measures. They refused to live together and often went on dates while accompanied by other friends. They avoided situations where they would be by themselves in a dwelling, in which temptation would abound. Two years of abstinence was not easy. Wearing chastity rings reminded Cho Lam and Leanne to refrain from eating forbidden fruit.

Revealing Chastity Rings on Facebook

Cho Lam and Leanne revealed photos of their chastity rings on Facebook. Leanne followed the common practice of wearing her chastity ring on her left hand, until one day it would be replaced by her wedding ring. The engraved words, “Love + Purity” would provide vigilance in their relationship.

Cho Lam Admits He Thought About Sex

Dating Leanne for two years, Cho Lam frankly admitted that occasionally he would be tempted, “I would be lying if I said I never thought about having sex. However, Leanne and I both place God first. During tense moments, we will immediately pray together. In the last two years, we were able to resist temptation. Perhaps some people will say this was silly, but we know we are doing the right thing. The chastity rings represent our shared values.”

Since Leanne’s Cantonese was not good, this often resulted in humorous situations. Cho Lam revealed, “A friend asked Leanne what kind of ring she was wearing. Leanne said ‘a clean ring!’ Haha, she said ‘clean’ instead of ‘chastity’ (貞潔變清潔). I laughed hilariously.”

To quell their temptation, Leanne and Cho Lam often prayed together. Leanne said, “Whenever Cho Lam has a bad thought, he will ask me to pray with him. He has done very well. Although we do not wear our chastity rings everyday, we have followed the Commandments over the last two years.” Receiving the chastity ring made Leanne happier than receiving a diamond ring. “I feel very much at ease having a boyfriend who will not be easily tempted.”

Although dating for two years, allegedly Cho Lam did not receive Leanne’s parents’ approval yet. Since the couple will be attending a Christian outreach event in Canada later this year, Cho Lam will likely visit Leanne’s parents and hopefully receive their approval.

2011-04-02T01:27:00.000-07:00

After Olympic gold medalist Liu Xuan retired, she entered the entertainment industry and signed a TVB management contract. Her first TVB series Grace Under Fire is currently broadcasting. During the interview, Liu Xuan frankly said that shooting series is more difficult than physical training. She said: "Shooting series is totally more difficult than physical training. At least you have time to rest and sleep when your training, but shooting series there is no time to sleep. There is also a great pressure when during the shoot, which causes insomnia." Bosco Wong greatly praised Liu Xuan: "On the first day of shooting, she already had a fighting scene, I saw her eyes becoming crossed as she fought, felt she was very pitiful."

Liu Xuan appears to be able to withstand difficulty, but Bosco reveals that she is actually a 'medicine pot', as she is often taking Chinese medications during the series shooting. Liu Xuan said: "Before my health was not well, so now I'm taking Chinese medication to recapture my health." When asked if she will shoot a TVB series every year? She joked: "Shooting series is truly difficult, I will take a break first, wait until TVB has something arranged for me."

During filming, Bosco and Liu Xuan loved to exchange their experiences on the Mainland real estate. They agreed to let each other know when there is news on a good deal.

After requests from the press, Kevin and Raymond finally agreed to remove their outer robes for photos, which delivered a gay atmosphere!

During the photograph session, Kevin posed awkwardly to cover his nipples. Kevin said, “I am learning Muay Thai techniques. As the filming progresses, I will become more fit!” (There was a heavy gay feel before.) “Everyone knows that will not happen. There is little chance in changing [sexual] preferences.” (Are you embarrassed?) “I was not embarrassed until the press asked me to reveal my nipples. I never appeared this way before the press before!”

Recently becoming a new father, Raymond Wong said he felt strange holding his newborn son. “We have not decided on the Chinese name yet. I help change the diapers. My wife gives the baby a bath and breastfeeds him. Since we have sponsorship of milk powder, it should not be a problem!”

Baring her midriff at The King Boxer costume fitting, Nancy Wu will portray a deaf female boxer. Although Muay Thai was difficult to learn, Nancy felt fortunate that she did not possess any fat, thus making it easier to develop muscle. Selena Li will portray a career woman and share a romantic relationship with Kevin Cheng.

2011-03-25T01:26:00.000-07:00

Reporters were barred from entering the venue where Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu and Chinese millionaire Wang Xiaofei held their wedding dinner.

However, shortly after the dinner commenced, Barbie's good friends and wedding guests including younger sister Dee Hsu, Kevin Tsai, Aya, Christine Fan, Blackie Chen and S.H.E member Ella Chen appeared to talk to the media.

Kevin, who was the host of the wedding, said that Barbie had chosen to celebrate the occasion with only 300 friends and relatives in the wake of the Japanese natural disaster.

The Taiwanese host further revealed that as Barbie's wedding planners were from a Japanese company, and the actress initially wanted to postpone the event. However, the company insisted that the wedding proceeded.

Kevin added that Barbie would be donating all the cash gifts she received to aid the Japanese quake victims.

Hsu Donates Money from Wedding to Quake Victims

Taiwan entertainer Barbie Hsu tied the knot with mainland restaurant chain heir Wang Xiaofei on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 with a lavish wedding reception. The couple planned to donate all the money they received to victims of Japan's earthquake, Sohu.com reports.

Entertainment reporters from all over China flocked to Sanya, a tropical resort city in the southern part of the country where the wedding was held, but were blocked from the reception, which was invitation-only.

Barbie Hsu's younger sister, Dee, who is also an entertainer, told the media at the after-party that the newlyweds hoped to do their part to help earthquake and tsunami victims.

It's a Chinese tradition to present money as wedding gifts. The proceeds of Hsu and Wang's wedding, although not disclosed, were considerable, given that attendees were either celebrities or wealthy entrepreneurs.

Dee says Barbie Hsu got emotional several times during the wedding, and when celebrated host Kevin Tsai, who took the role of the ceremony's host, asked Hsu if she'd want to marry Wang, her reply was, "I do, very much."

Dee also denied rumors that Barbie Hsu was pregnant.

The wedding has attracted intensive attention, since Hsu is a popular actress, singer and TV host, while Wang is a wealthy restaurateur and the heir of the South Beauty high-end restaurant chain.

Hsu, 34, reportedly met Wang, who is five years younger, on September 29, 2010. She surprised her fans one month later by announcing she was engaged. The couple registered for marriage in Beijing on November 16.

Over two hundred friends and family members were invited to the after party, which was held at a luxury five-bedroom residence. Including the swimming pool area, the place was over 3,000 square meters and cost $68,888 (Yuan) to rent per night.

Pregnancy Rumors Abound

The media were banned from taking photos at Barbie and Xiao Fei’s wedding. Due to the secretive nature of the wedding and the couple’s whirlwind marriage, the media speculated that Barbie may be pregnant. Barbie’s younger sister, Dee Xu, explained that although Barbie loved children, she will not become a mother anytime soon due to work requirements. Barbie’s bridesmaids, Pace Wu and Makiyo, who cried emotionally at the wedding, reiterated that the bride was not pregnant.

Mother-in-Law Highly Satisfied

Xiao Fei’s mother , Zhang Lan, arrived in Sanya five days before the wedding to supervise the venue arrangements. Allegedly, she requested that from March 20th onwards, the hotel should not allow guests who are not part of the wedding to stay. Rumors claimed that Xiao Fei and Barbie decided to hold their wedding in Hainan Island to advertise Xiao Fei’s real estate investment. Ms. Zhang denied such news, “My son and daughter-in-law wanted to have a seaside dream wedding. Our family is more traditional and will not deliberately invest in foreign places. We selected Sanya as the wedding location because we wanted to stimulate the economic growth here. Since only family and friends are invited to the wedding, we did not want the wedding to be full of speculative news.”

Ms. Zhang was completely satisfied with the wedding and revealed that Barbie and Xiao will not be going on an immediate honeymoon. “Their wedding will be held on March 22nd and they have to return to work the next day!”

Aaraon Yan donates $1 Million NTD to Japan Earthquake

2011-03-25T01:07:00.000-07:00

On the 14th, Arron Yan YaLun participated in Hit FM's White Day(1) celebration; he appeared as a "Piano Prince" and played with a group of kindergarteners. The children kissed him and praised his lips as "so soft!" Recently, rumors of Fahrenheit's disbanding have been rampant; Arron excitedly and proudly revealed that Fahrenheit will be appearing as a group on the 25th in Malaysia. They will be filming a commercial together, as well as appearing at a promotional event. The four will, together, be making more than $10 million NTD. It will also be the first time Arron is appearing with the other three Fahrenheit members since releasing his solo album.

Arron will be donating $1 million NTD, along with some basic goods and materials, to Japan's disaster relief efforts. Several Japanese fans actually traveled to Taiwan to participate in his autograph concert a few days ago. One of the fans was actually from one of the Japanese districts affected by the earthquake; because she had gone to Taiwan, she escaped the disaster entirely. Some of her friends and classmates, however, weren't so lucky: they fell victim to the tsunami.(2) Out of gratefulness, the fan's mother purchased 100 copies of Arron's album.

Arron consulted a "fortune telling" expert before releasing his album; he was told to wear all red on the day of his pre-order autograph concert for good luck. The weather that day really was beautiful. Moreover, when he was on his way to the event, riding the high-speed rail, media bigwig 邱復生 Chiu FuSheng saw him, but failed to recognized him, though he praised Arron as "good-looking" and even gave him his business card. Arron was struck and overwhelmed by his good luck; he felt he owed it all to his lucky red clothes!

(1) White Day is another Valentine's Day, celebrated by a few countries in Asia, mainly Japan, Taiwan, and S. Korea. Western Valentine's Day in Asia is a bit of a role reversal: girls typically give homemade or store-bought chocolates to their crushes. It's on White Day that the boys respond with their own presents.
(2) The article doesn't really clarify whether this girl's classmates were injured by the tsunami or whether they actually died... either way, though, presumably they were in school when disaster struck, which is why her mom is "grateful."
UPDATE: Arron confirmed the deaths of some of the girl's friends on a recent LIVE episode of Yu Le Bai Fen Bai [100% Entertainment].

JJ Lin is dating with E Cup Beauty Lilian Chen

2011-03-25T00:54:00.000-07:00

JJ Lin JunJie's rumors with E-cup beauty and model 陳立冷 Lillian Chen LiLeng have been circulating for nine months; are they really dating? From the very beginning, the two have been evasive. Last night, however, they were finally "caught directly" on a date to the movies. When asked about their relationship, though, Lillian immediately became quite shrewish! First, she pretended to trip and fall, conveniently throwing the contents of her plastic water bottle at the reporter. Furthermore, following her "act," Lillian opened her eyes wide and blatantly lied(1): "Oh, I'm so sorry; I tripped." This sudden and rude behavior shocked even JJ Lin; when asked why his girlfriend lost control, he could only reply dumbly, "I don't know."

Relationship Exposed; Hurriedly Closes Photo Album

Last June, Lillian posted an intimate photo of her and JJ together; underneath was the caption, "Lillian loves Wine-Cooked Shrimp!" This, however, appeared to be a hint: wine-cooked shrimp is JJ's favorite. JJ's fans wrote numerous letters expressing their unhappiness and disapproval; Lillian then hastily closed her on-line photo album to the public. Since then, they've been very low-key and secretive; a few days ago, she was recognized at an audition for a program's host's assistant. She hid in the dressing room and refused to accept an interview or any questions. JJ, however, has generously admitted to earnestly pursuing her, and has expressed the hope that everyone give them some space.

Water Thrown in the Street; JJ Lin Stunned Speechless

On the night of the 13th, reporters caught JJ and Lillian at the Vieshow Cinemas in XinYip; they went to watch Red Riding Hood. The pair first browsed for DVD's at Asia1, on the second floor; before long, labelmates By2 and other friends showed up, and they went in to the movie together. Following the show, however, it seems that the observant JJ had noticed that there were reporters in the vicinity; he, Lillian, and the others first ducked into a safe corner to come up with a plan to avoid the cameras. When the waiting reporters rushed up to interview them, the five of them immediately-- in an attempt to ward off the reporters-- whipped out their own cellphones and began snapping pictures. Their actions were fast and deliberate; obviously, they've practiced this many times.

The reporter asked when Lillian and JJ's relationship would be made public; unexpectedly, Lillian began to lose control. First, she pretended to trip and fall, throwing the contents of her water bottle at the reporter. As she threw the water, she even giggled frivolously, "Oh! Look out; I'm so sorry; I'm so sorry!" and "I accidentally tripped!" She turned around to look at JJ, laughing, as she said these lies; JJ, however, didn't smile. Instead, he looked stunned.

Apology Posted on Blog

After he regained his senses, JJ immediately apologized on behalf of Lillian: "We're so sorry; we're so sorry." When asked why his girlfriend suddenly lost control, JJ responded dumbly, "I don't know." The reporters then asked Lillian, "JJ has already apologized on your behalf; are you going to say anything yourself?" She, however, kept a cold smile on her face, and didn't respond.

JJ, though, seemed to feel guilty and a sense of responsibility about the "incident." JJ went online at about 1 AM to apologize via his WeiBo, "I'm sorry... I know that there is also some responsibility on our side; we did wrong, too... I'm sorry." JJ's music company, Ocean Butterflies, also had something to say regarding Lillian's behavior: they expressed that they were not only sorry and embarrassed, but also a bit surprised. They also apologized again on their behalf: "We will continue to educate our entertainers."

Yesterday, a reporter contacted Lillian via her cellphone; upon answering and hearing the reporter's, "May I ask, is this Lillian?", Lillian quickly said, "You've got the wrong number," and hung up. When he heard that Lillian had lost control and thrown water at a reporter, producer Wang GuanWei, one of the only ones who have worked with Lillian in a professional setting, laughed loudly, "I'm not in the least surprised; she fought with me in the past, too." He admitted that, these days, in order to avoid destroying their [Wang GuanWei and Lillian's] relationship, he avoids bringing up JJ in front of her: "It could be because she's afraid that people will think she's trying to use him (and his status)."

2011-03-16T21:44:00.000-07:00

Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu have been rumored for several years. Earlier the media bumped right into them in Causeway Bay shopping for clothes. Their relationship surfaces and the public accepts them, so Bosco was able to put down his vigilance and confirm that Myolie is his girlfriend.

Last night, Bosco attended Miss Sixty Spring and Summer Fashion Show in Causeway Bay, which is the same place where he and Myolie were spotted shopping together. Asked if he still has the courage to invite Myolie out for shopping again? He said: "This is the spot for shopping, in fact it's very normal shopping togther!" The media teased now that the relationship surfaced, they don't need to hide anymore? Bosco generously said: "We already don't hide much anymore!"

It was rumored he signed 'per series' contract with TVB, and change his management to East Asia? Bosco denied: "We never discussed that, TVB and I still have many years left in the contract." He also sweet talked saying that it's been smooth collaborations with his TVB manager, bringing him many opportunities for TV series and movies. About girlfriend Myolie, is she also under TVB management contract? Bosco said: "Yes." He was unaware he admitted to the relationship, and later joked to reporters: "You tricked me!" When speaking of him and his girlfriend under the same management contract, are they working hand in hand? He said: In fact, we haven't discussed it. We go our separate ways in career, make our own decisions."

Raymond Lam bed photos with ex-girlfriend exposed

2011-03-16T21:42:00.000-07:00

In the latest issue of Next Magazine, bed photos of Raymond Lam Fung and ex-girlfriend, Mavis Pan Shuangshuang, were exposed. From the camera angle, it appears that Mavis took the photos while Raymond was sleeping. The bed photos created a stir in Hong Kong and hurt Raymond’s feelings deeply. When reporters confronted Raymond about the photos, he admitted that he was previously engaged in a serious relationship with Mavis.

At the Return to the Three Kingdoms <回到三國>costume fitting yesterday, Raymond admitted that he and Mavis had dated for several months. They met on the film set of The Jade and the Pearl <翡翠明珠> last year. At the time, Raymond was quite serious about the relationship; the pair even met each other’s parents. Due to differences in their personalities and Raymond’s hectic schedule, resulting in little time spent together, the pair agreed to separate amicably. Since their break-up, they have not maintained contact.

Reflecting on his past relationship with Mavis, Raymond’s eyes brimmed with tears. He indicated that the bed photos scandal hurt him the most since entering the entertainment industry. Raymond stated that he was unaware that photographs were taken while he slept. In regards to future relationships, Raymond will let fate determine its course and will not purposely avoid them.

Since Raymond and Mavis were very discrete in handling their romance, Raymond’s former co-stars, Charlene Choi and Miriam Yeung Chin Wah, were unaware of his past relationship. On the set of The Jade and the Pearl, Raymond and Mavis maintained their distance. Regarding the surfacing of Raymond’s bed photos, Charlene felt that Raymond had trusted the wrong person, alluding that Mavis may have revealed the photos for publicity reasons.

Mavis Pan is a 24 year-old Taiwanese model and actress. Her voluptuous figure has earned her the nickname of “Little Shu Qi” in Taiwan. Mavis appeared in films, The Jade and the Pearl <翡翠明珠> and What Women Want <我知女人心>. She has appeared in numerous commercials as well.
