ethan ruanmark zhao

Although and did not go head to head, both super popular male leads, Ethan Ruan and Mark Zhao, appear on July fashion magazines. Xiao Tian (Ethan) wears Adidas, being fashionable and sporty. Mark Zhao on the other hand wears Prada to show his handsomeness. The two of them compete to see who is manlier.

Questions regarding their love life are unavoidable. Mark Zhao, who has a face full of integrity, reveals that he actually also like sexy women. Whenever a woman lifts her hair up while with her back facing him, her elegant back figure accompanied by her long neck, it would always make his heart beat faster. Xiao Tian, who is in a steady relationship with Tiffany Xu, complements himself proudly for being an outstanding boyfriend, saying that he would always do anything for his girlfriend.

The two dramas, and , which aired back to back, both did very well, making Ethan Ruan a star who guarantees to draw in ratings. Although he has become a hot star now, his ex-girlfriend exposes his private life, yet he openly admits his past relationship with her. He expresses sincerely, "Everyone needs love, especially when you're an actor. How could you possibly not have any love relationships? The least I can say is that for every girl I've been with, I've tried my hardest. I dare to say that I'm a super outstanding boyfriend. There's nothing that I can do if the other party must say anything about our relationship after it's over."

Ethan Ruan says that because he has worked with Director Niu Cheng Ze in before, he has gained a lot. This time, he accepts the role in (/Moungar) without even reading the script first. He has been studying for his role. Other than taking Taiwanese language lessons, he has also observed the location, taken a look at how the leader of Mankah plays chess, and has gone to Taichong to consult with people who know the story of Mankah.

Mark Zhao, who has become famous overnight, wishes everyone to pay more attention to his inner qualities, and not just his appearance. His own personal goal is to become Takuya Kimura, whereby his performance would spark everyone's eyes every time.

Love rumors regarding Mark Zhao come one after another. He takes this opportunity while shooting for the fashion magazine to express his criteria in looking for a girlfriend: "She doesn't need to be too skinny. She must know how to cook and know how to tie a tie so that there can be more intimate interactions."

Gary Chaw in hospital again after drinking

gary cao

Gary Chaw was admitted in the Accident and Emergency unit on Monday night for what his manager said was arm injury. A hospital guard, however, witnessed Chaw coming in with a swollen face. Prior to his admission, the Malaysian singer was drinking in a pub with his friends, leading to speculation that he was involved in a fight again.

Chaw's manager explained to the media waiting outside the emergency room that the singer's friends were celebrating his birthday before his departure to China for work, and he is in hospital only because he has injured his arm.

"His arm was cut by the broken champagne glasses. They are thinner and easily broken. His friends were afraid that he'd contract tetanus so they sent him here for checks." The manager added that Chaw has no other injuries and thanked the media for their concern.

According to Taiwanese media reports, Chaw was drinking with a group of friends in the Taipei Shinyi District when the fire alarm at the pub sounded. The drunken Malaysian singer was rushed to the hospital via taxi by his friends during the chaos.

A hospital guard, however, expressed that he did not see Chaw's hand injury but saw that his face was swollen and was unable to walk so he had to be wheeled around on a bed.

Last November, Chaw was admitted in a hospital after being beaten up at a pub.

Fahrenheit: hotter together

fahrenheit

Wu Chun, Jiro Wang, Aaron Yan and Calvin Chen may have achieved amazing results and individually in their various dramas and movies but they still say singing as boy band Fahrenheit is what they enjoy most. Their latest album Love You More and More seeks to express their inner most gratitude to the fans. We catch up with them to pose some questions.

Q: The four of you are by now very familiar with Singapore. You've been here a few times to promote your albums and concerts, so what do you like most about Singapore?

Wu: Singapore is probably the country I visited the most since I was a child because it's nearer (to Brunei). So I have many childhood memories about Singapore! Shopping and food. It's a luxury to be here!

Wang: I like Singapore for its clean air and environment. Public toilets, floors and roads are very clean and well maintained.

Yan: I hope to be able to spend Christmas here. The festive atmosphere is great and the environment, clean and beautiful.

Chen: I like the clean streets, multiracial society, skyscrapers, and cosmopolitan city. Singapore is also very well connected with the world.

Q: Similarities and differences are probably a test of the band's chemistry. How do you usually get along?

Fahrenheit: I think communication is the key, especially when we come from different walks of life. Chemistry definitely takes time to build up, but stage performances have indeed helped us become better partners and put up better performances.

Q: In this process, are there any conflicts? Four of you are all brilliant young fellows, each with eagerness and vigour, are there conflicts?

Fahrenheit: I think one benefit of being an all boys group is that big boys speak their minds. If there's any displeasure, just voice it. It's all for the better of our performances.

Q: You have been busy with your own dramas and movies in recent years but surprisingly you all are still tightly connected.. How do you guys keep in contact without any public awareness?

Fahrenheit: That is what the media portray us to be; as if we have disbanded. The truth is that the four of us always gather in private. We are only working individually when each of us has to promote our dramas, but when we release an album, we will be tied together for three to four months. It is not like what the media says about us, each developing our own career.

Q: Let's talk about the album Love You More and More. This is an interesting name. Is there any special meaning?

Fahrenheit: This is our third album and also is an establishment of the foundation, hoping that our fans will love us more and more. It is also an expression of our loves and passion for this job. The same-titled hit song is a bridge between the fans and us.

Q: You have also visited the Down Syndrome Association at Bishan to visit the patients this time round. Everyone has different understanding of charity purposes; some thinks it is a big thing, others may think it begins with you. What is your understanding about charity?

Chen: We don't have to shout out when we do charity, but I think as public figures, we are also public role models. When we start doing it, our supporters will follow our footsteps, and I think that's great. There is no need to join any community organizations, charity organizations, and so on. It can begin around you.

Q: I believe you also mean caring for your family. How do you communicate with your family when you are so busy? Especially Wu Chun, you are so far apart from them.

Wu: I can only give them a call whenever I'm free. When I go home every year, it's usually for less than a month, so time is always very precious. I will ask my company to inform me of any short breaks so that I can make a trip home.

Wang: I grew up with my mother, so whenever I travel, I'll get very uptight and I have to call her several times a day.

Yan: I'm usually very relaxed and happy when I'm with my family because time spent with them has decreased so I try not to show my stressed up emotions at home.

Chen: My elder sister got married last October and I'm the only boy left at home now. My parents seem to think that their boy has grown up and can be depended on. So I am now responsible for my parents and am their anchorage.

Q: Fahrenheit have let their warmth and also the strength of love show in their music. We hope this sincerity will lead to smoother careers. Thank you.

Fahrenheit: Thank you!

Ken Chu films new drama, wears red nose acting as clown; damaging his own image

ken zhu

On the afternoon of June 29, Ken Chu wore a red nose and acted as a clown reporter for GTV idol drama . The drama has been cutting down on time and other matters, choosing to film at the entrance of their own GTV studio. Recently, Ken Chu revealed his "Zhu" legs by wearing his suit with shorts "豬哥亮 (Zhu Ge Liang) outfit". This time he continues to take the path of acting odd but he doesn't mind, telling his agent, "This is acting, isn't it?"

Hides indoors to enjoy cool air

In Ken Chu acts as a weather reporter but it purposely switched to a news reporter making his unsuccessful character imagine that he has become a clown interviewing people, even constantly hitting walls when interviewing passers-by while other reporters watch him. The microphone he held looked as cute as an ice-cream cone so it didn't look like he was a reporter but rather, as if he was selling ice-cream.

After jogging a few rounds, Ken felt tired due to the blazing sun. He stopped to rest while his assistant kindly passed him a drink. He became hungry and thirsty, talked with some of the employees for a while before hurrying off into the studio where there was air-conditioning.

Ken Chu started out in and was shaped into an idol from F4, yet in he acts as a clown. Previously, he also chose to dress in a suit with shorts while acting as a weather reporter, working hard to free himself from the burden of being an idol. An employee from his agency, Huang Xiao Ling said, "He feel that this is acting and an actor should match their required role, there's nothing to care about."

Revealing Unseen-before Personal Pictures
Self-admitted by S.H.E to be the Most Self-conscious And the Most Courageous Work
Re-singing Classic Song [Dream Field] / Invited Teacher Xiao Ling to Compose Harmonizing
S.H.E’s Perfect Harmonization Appearing Once Again
[2009.06.25]

Following the launching of their radio station, female Heavenly group S.H.E whose relationship was very close, because a new album was still at the planning stage, will be releasing a book this summer to give their fans a look at S.H.E’s other talents in addition to singing and acting. Originally intending to be a pictorial book with only a few pages of text, the final product ended up being a book consisted of both pictures and nearly 70,000 words of text. In this, Ella also demonstrated her self-taught drawing talent. All the illustrations throughout the book were hand-drawn by her. These pictures completely illustrated the emotions behind the words. As for the written portion, in order to accurately and realistically demonstrate the different personalities of the trio, Selina and Ella personally dictated and conducted numerous meetings with the editor for over a month. Selina became so comfortable with the chatting that she did not want to stop and ended up revealing the most secrets. Hebe, on the other hand, chose to write a 20,000 word essay word by word herself during the night at the end of many hectic working days. It was obvious that the trio placed extreme importance on this fairly heavy-weight book.

The name of S.H.E’s new book was [The 3 Spas of Love]. In this book, the readers will be able to see the trio throwing away the burden of being an idol and baring their respective most inner, most secret thoughts during their growing up years to everyone literally and figuratively. The picture used for cover of the book would also illustrate how the close-knitted trio would also often crawl into bed together for a chatting session and sharing their respective thoughts with each other. The relationship of S.H.E was so close that they would not be shy of being in the nude or changing clothes in front of each other. The three would even remind each other to watch their figures. Recently, Selina had been exercising hard to get her body into shape. Seeing how her body had firmed up and lines had tightened had Hebe feeling envious and exclaiming that she must go and work out together with Selina so that she could shape up and tone her muscles. Selina expressed: [Hebe has a slender figure. All she has to do is to stretch her muscles and firm up her body, and she would have perfect lines.] However, S.H.E also stressed that between the three of them, they could talk about any topic at any place. They liked the feeling of sharing with each other. A good example would be this instance when their chatting would end up being over 70,000 words.

In the book [The 3 Spas of Love], other than a collection of all their respective memories of love, hate, likes and dislikes, S.H.E also brought out their treasured photos and for the first time, revealed pictures of their growing up years. They would be generously sharing all the pictures, regardless whether they were beautiful or ugly in them. Ella laughed: [It is precisely because of the past that there is the present me. I looked so much like a boy back then! Now, did I not become a lovely young woman anyways?] Hebe whose personality was more low-keyed, was at first somewhat resistant to the idea of sharing stories of her growing up years. When she was working on the 20,000 word essay, she felt conflicted over whether she must share such truthful inner thoughts. At that time, her mental struggles often led to her having gastric pains and had to go to the hospital to be diagnosed with gastric reflux. She who was currently forbidden to eat spicy or food that contained caffeine shared: [I am so happy that in the end, I still finished it. Actually, to say that we are sharing our stories with everyone, it could be also said that through these memories, I re-learn about myself.]

S.H.E also specially recorded a song as the theme song to [The 3 Spas of Love]. In order to express the atmosphere of hope and warmth from the book, the trio recorded a cover version of Chi Yu and Michelle Pan Yue-yun’s classic song, [Dream Field]. There was no little pressure. They specially invited Huang Yuen-ling who arranged the original harmonizing of this song to compose the harmonizing for S.H.E. Hebe expressed that they “really like the lyrics to [Dream Field]. We did not give ourselves too much pressure in doing a cover version of this song. We only want to sing this song well and to convey a S.H.E feel.” As for why they chose to cover [Dream Field], the trio said in unison that they hoped this book could plant love and hope into the readers’ hearts.

The 2009 S.H.E version of the song [Dream Field], which would display once again the trio’s perfect harmonization, will be premiering on July 1 on HitFM. The highly anticipated [The 3 Spas of Love] which contained probably the most number of words among books written by artists will be available for pre-order starting July 8th. The pre-ordered books will include a bonus EP for two new songs [Dream Field] and [Locking in Time]. For more details, please visit www.him.com.tw

Kristy Yang much prefers to be with a foreigner than a local HK man

kristy yeung

After Kristy Yang broke up with her boyfriend in September last year, she has never run out of male companions by her side. Before, some of the men are the Taiwanese siu sang, Eric Huang Shao Qi, and the sports program host, Kaleb Choi Kam Fung, and on one day, she was again seen with a handsome man in Lam Kwai Fong, holding hands with him while walking together. She was asked whether she would clarify the handsome man's identity as her boyfriend? She said: "We're only friends, and not a couple. I haven't found my life partner yet, so I'm not dating anyone at the moment. I'll just follow my destiny in finding my love." When asked about whether she would avoid a married man in seeking a life partner, Kristy answered that she wouldn't even consider dating one, also she would not find her right guy in Hong Kong, as she laughingly expressed, "I'm 1/4 mix-blooded, and I don't mind choosing a foreign guy, as I would give birth to mix-blooded babies, and I think those babies are the cutest."
