Esther Kwan husband Nick Cheung in virility problem

In the recent year, Esther Kwan reduced her public appearances and focused entirely on taking care of her daughter. During this time period, she tried to maintain good health in hope for more children, while her husband Nick Cheung was busy buying Chinese herbal medicine to help his virility problem. It was also said that the couple is currently preparing for artificial insemination. Yesterday Esther, Roger Kwok, Derek Kwok, Ng Wai Kwok, Michelle Yim, Oscar Leung and Viven Yeo attended "The Season of Fate" promotional event. When Esther was asked about the artificial insemination rumors, she laughed: "I never did that! The rumors also said that Nick was buying Chinese herbs for better health because he had a virility problem. Even if we aren't going to have any more kids, still have to stay healthy. In this industry, we always have to stay up late, so its both physically and mentally exhausting. Sometimes even get anemia, Nick has to take care of my daughter and I, of course he needs to maintain his health! (So no problems with virility?) Of course not!"

Gaining strong support from his wife, Nick Cheung was named the "2009 Person of the Year" by the Hong Kong Youth Association, in recognition for his professional and positive impact on youths. Towards the buying medicine to stay "healthy" rumors, Nick laughed: "Already survived so many years, probably wrote about this before and didn't know. Well whether or not we have any more kids, still need to stay healthy. Sometimes I do use enforcement agents, everyone needs to maintain their health. (Your wife supports you saying that you had no virility problems?) No problem, I am normal, and healthy."

Currently with a serial broadcasting, Esther had become a target for the Media, Nick frankly said that he is worried about his wife and daughter, he told Esther not to take their daughter out too much: "Everything is just like normal, there's not much to write about anyway. If she's calling out a "duck" and got photographed, then that will be a problem."

Jacy Cheung new Cantonese album Private Corner

It’s been 5 years since Jacky Cheung released a Cantonese album; his new album "Private Corner" will be released worldwide next Friday (January 29th). This album has been in preparations for a long time – all because Jacky takes the production of his album very seriously. Originally, a portion of the songs were already recorded, however after Jacky listened to them again, he decided to give up on 6 songs and instead choose a few new songs to re-record, resulting in additional time and costs. In post-production, the album was first sent to the U.S. for sound-mixing, then sent to Germany for disc printing, so that his fans – who have waited a long time for this album – can enjoy the highest quality recording.

Jacky described his creative album from 5 years ago as his most personal album to date; however this time around, he took the musical genre that he enjoyed listening to the most [jazz] and converged it into a record – presenting his “private corner” so that all his fans can experience his “private world.”

Since Jacky does not have any contracts with TVB, his MVs are allowed to be broadcast on other TV stations, if necessary. Universal has chosen to hold a press conference for Jacky on Jan. 28th to present his album to the public for the first time. In terms of whether his MV will air on ATV, Universal expressed that there is a possibility, but it is still in discussion. Jacky deeply understands the difficulties that his record company currently faces and has expressed that he will support all promotional efforts on behalf of his album.

Hong Kong Singer Hacken Lee quit Universal Music

TVB and Big 4 record companies copyright issue has been troubling for a few months now, the ones who are suffering the greatest impact are of course the singers. It was rumored that TVB appointed their "god-son" Hacken Lee to be this year's World Cup host, TVB producer (Lee Hon Yuen) reveals: "We have always collaborated well, have chemistry and it's not about the money. Hacken won't mind." Recently it was said that within Universal Group Music, a division of two groups started one named "Universal Group" and the other "TVB Group". Yesterday Universal's first brother Hacken Lee attended an iCable event and especially arranged two reporters to interview him, unfortunately that did not help, Hacken still answered in Mandarin.

Hacken maintained his "conservative" and "traditional" attitude to clarify that he accepted iCable's interview because he respects the contract: "At this time, I am responsible for the duties under the contract, we'll talk when the contract expires. (Will you renew the contract?) I don't know." Hacken's contract with both TVB and Universal are about to expire, however Hacken betrays Universal: "I signed with TVB already, so I can go on TVB programs. However, my record company said I can't go on TVB, I don't know which TV network I should go on! (Will you appear on other networks?) No, this is just my perspective. After new years, I will discuss with a manager, it's troublesome and I have a headache."

Hacken also stressed that he is one of the greatest victims: "I told Duncan Wong that I support him the most, I already sacrificed several TVB programs. Out of the many Universal singers, I am the one who got the most exposure from TVB, I am totally on his side, I'm the biggest victim." When asked if he needs to respect TVB's contract because TVB had given him many opportunities over the years? Hacken said: "Based on relationship, yes! A contract is not living, the relationship is more important. TVB has given me many opportunities in the past and even now they have not changed, we have a lot of relationship. (Are you giving up on Universal and not TVB?) Please do not say that."

Both EEG and Gold Label interested in Hacken

Also, as Hacken may not renew his contract with Universal, EEG's Artist and Music Director Mani Fok expressed: "We are interested in all artists who have potential. Like Hacken he is an artist who has ability, we do hope to have an opportunity to collaborate with him." As for Gold Label's CEO (Chan Fai Hung) said: "We do look for anyone who has potential to produce good music, Gold Label is welcoming Hacken with open arms."

Lady Gaga has worn that "dance outfit" before. Joey and Petra are very excited for the "cross-border cooperation." Petra said Joey looks like a warrior, full of justice and a feeling of peace, in contrast to Lady Gaga's aggressive look. In the "Joey the Queen" modeling, she wore a huge wig with such exaggeration to reassemble "Queen Victoria" style . SK, the producer said "When we were gathering ideas for this EP, the first thing cropped up was a "Queen's" look. Therefore for a music queen, we sure need a crown." Joey is very happy for wearing an exaggerated wig rather than a heavy metal crown. She said "I don't need to set my hair up, I only need to put the wig on! Having said that I am worried the wig may fall off when I sing and dance. "
