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.

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.

Pregnancy Rumors Abound

The media were banned from taking photos at Barbie and Xiao Fei’s wedding.

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!”

Vic Chou no blessings no comments for his ex lover Barbie Hsu

Looks like Barbie Hsu's ex lover, Vic Chou, is not giving her his blessings.

The former member of Taiwanese boyband F4 had refused to comment on Barbie's wedding when he was bombarded by the press at the Taiwan airport earlier this week.

Vic and Barbie had met on the set of Meteor Garden in 2001 and dated for over two years since July 2005.

When asked if he had any message or words of blessing for Barbie, the seemingly annoyed Vic merely said thank you and scurried off without addressing the press.

It was reported that Vic was filming his show Returning Home in the same building in Shanghai as Barbie, who was there to film her movie. But the two had not crossed paths despite the proximity.

Sources have confirmed that Barbie and Xiaofei's wedding will be held in Sanya, Hainan Island in China between March 27 and 29 next year, though their mothers and Barbie's assistant have yet to confirm the news.

Barbie Hsu new boyfriend Shone An

After a failed romance with Vic Zhou , are things finally looking up for Barbie Hsu in the romance department?

Taiwanese artiste Barbie Hsu (also better known as Da S) has been single for more than two years following her separation from Vic Zhou in Jan 2008. The 33-year-old actress was recently spotted in the company of Shone An, a member from the now-defunct pop group, Comic Boys.

The pair was seen chatting and holding hands as they made their way to Shone's birthday celebration.

Although Barbie instinctively pushed her cap down to shield her face when the both of them discovered the presence of paparazzi, she did not shrink away from Shone's side and continued holding onto hand.

When the photos surfaced on the internet, Barbie commented on the Chinese micro-blogging platform, Wei Bo, and wrote, "Shone, we were followed! Our photos were snapped and there are even rumours! I really look like your aunty..."

In response to Barbie's statement, Shone replied a few minutes later saying, "You don't look like an aunty. You are a hot babe."

Barbie's manager, Dou Dou, refuted allegations of a blossoming romance between the pair and expressed, "There shouldn't be [any romance]! The both of them are just really good friends who have known each other for many years. It was Shone's birthday and the both of them happened to be in Beijing and met at the party.

"His relationship to Barbie is similar to his relationship with Ady An. They are like siblings!"

Commenting on the part of Barbie and Shone holding hands, Dou Dou explained that Shone was merely being a gentleman "taking care of Barbie who injured her hand during filming".

"Barbie was in Beijing to treat her hand. She will continue filming in Hangzhou today," the manager added.

As for the pair's constant exchanges on Wei Bo, Dou Dou chuckled, "It's [Barbie and Shone's exchange on Wei Bo] not very frequent and only happened over the past few days. As they are both in Beijing and have met up with each other, there would naturally be more exchanges!"

Negating on the possibilities of a romantic relationship between Barbie and Shone, she revealed that the company is also waiting to hear good news from the actress on her love life.

"But there is really none now!" Dou Dou replied.

At a press conference for Reign of Assassins held a few days ago, Barbie expressed that she has "Yet to meet the right person". When asked about her ideal boyfriend qualities, the Summer Scent actress said, "I do not care about status, nationality, or age. As long as he is right, things will work out."

Barbie Hsu denied face and nose plastic surgery

Netizens have been buzzing about the fact that Da S's wide eyes, high nose and pointy chin in "Summer's Desire" is a far cry from her single lidded, small-nosed, and round-chinned appearance 10 years ago in "Meteor Garden". Da S responded by posting an old photo on her Weibo, and added "If you say I've become prettier, I won't deny it, but if you say I had plastic surgery, that's complete nonsense! This is a photo of Mavis Fan, Xiao S and I from 12 years ago, my face shape and nose are the same... the only thing different is in the makeup and expression. If I really had plastic surgery, I wouldn't dare publish 'Mei Rong Da Wang'! Some netizens...."

Yesterday, Xiao S said that Da S's chin is a family trait. "Our whole family has long chins like that, just take a look at me, my grandma, my dad, and my nephew Xiao Mi Ke. ASOS has always been gearing up through getting prettier and prettier, even we are scared of how much prettier we can get." To rumours that Da S is planning to buy a house in the Xin Yi district, Xiao S answered that Da S has to work hard acting, "And now that the family has a new member (Xiao Mi Ke), she decided to buy a more comfortable house, so that it's worth the hard work."

A recipient of a chin surgery, former female F4 member Amy said, "Da S and plastic surgery? No way! This type of surgery causes horrendous swelling." Two years ago, financed by her fiance, Amy travelled to Korea to get a nose job before her wedding. "My nose was just way too wide, but after spending 20,000 on surgery, my nose is now too thin and pointy." She went to Lee Jin Liang to redo the job, correcting her nose to a fuller version, and also got liposuction and chin surgery while she was at it. Although the healing process was extremely painful, she felt that becoming more beautiful was definitely worth it.

On Christmas Day, in NAn Jing, she stated that it was the first time she spent Christmas in such a cold place, it made her very excited. But about facing couples everywhere on Christmas, she looked a t loss, honestly saying that she feels deeply that right now, about love, her feelings are “Love is completely about destiny, running after it will only bring failure ! ”

Leaving Love to Fate : Wishing for a family

Yesterday, when DaS appeared, a lot of people who came said : “Wahh ! She’s so gorgeous! “She was wearing a red dress, purposely spreading her charm around. Because the theme of the function was “Home Year”, it was very warm and with “family feel”, while interacting, the host especially invited 3 families up on the stage. One was a family of 3, another was a newly wed couple and the last was a couple with a pregnant wife, Das, upon seeing such a warm set, said out loud : “Having a family is so warm !”, and took XiaoS (her sister) family as an example, saying how good a life she had with 2 daughters and how happy she was right now.

DaS who had been said to have a “queen” personality, didn’t have a steady love life, right now, she is single, but DaS clearly had got used to people asking her about her love life, she smiled using her perfect answer “Every woman hope to have a good husband, to give birth to his children and raise them for him, like both my sisters, their families are both successful. I also wish to have such a family one day, but Love is something that need to rely on fate, you can’t be too impatient, always blindly running after it won’t have a good outcome, and you may even be defeated !” Of course, if you’re pretty and well known in the entertainment business, your love life will never be lonly, DaS very confidently says “I believe I will have my own happiness.”

Cold Christmas : wanting to act a role “out of the norm”

DaS had spent all her previous Christmas in Hong Kong, Taiwan, such warm places. But this Christmas, the first thing she said after landing in Nan Jing was that she never had seen such a cold christmas ! She was very surprisingly excited about this fact , ” Actually, a Christmas should be cold, that fits mmore the feeling of it, this time I finally could find such a feeling in Nan Jing, it’s so exciting ! ” Because of that, DaS purposedly asked the dirver to take her on a tour of the city. DaS, being known for being good at keeping her looks, despite knowing that Nan Jing had very good dishes, she only had a vegetarian meal in a restaurant for her christmas dinner to keep her figure.

DaS who had been struggling to keep a good figure, has been looking more and more beautiful these past years, we could often see her on the big screen from “Connected” to “Forbidden City cops 009″, DaS had been working with hotties. Right now, the 2 movies she had participated in “Hot summer days” and “Future X Cops” she is paired up with Nick Tse and Andy Lau. But DaS still feels that she needs a complete change with the roles she performed as before, “Next year, I’ll put all my efforts on movies, I hope to act as roles out of the norm, these roles need to be multidimensional and a breakthough from all the roles I performed in the past, this is the only way to progress. Now I already received a few script, if it’s possible, next year, I’ll give the audience a big surprise !”

Da S neglects Huang Xiao Ming, boat of love hits iceberg

Peter Ho's first self produced and self directed drama series "Summer of Bubbles" boasts of a strong cast, comprising Da S, Huang Xiao Ming, Coco Chiang and Patina Lin. Huang Xiao Ming was rumoured to have special feelings towards Da S. However, on the evening of June 14, we spotted the team filming and there was a lack of interaction between the two of them. Both of them were polite to each other and it appears that it'll take some time for them to develop a romance.

Making up for lack of chemistry through rehearsing

"Summer of Bubbles" has been facing obstacle after obstacle since it started filming. First, there was the change of male lead from Peter Ho to Huang Xiao Ming. then Huang Xiao Ming delayed his arrival in Taiwan for filming, causing the production team to be rather tensed. On 14th, Huang Xiao Ming and Da S were rehearsing their lines on a street. He was dressed lavishly while she was plainly clothed. It appeared that they were not very well rehearsed and occasionally needed the director to step in to instruct them aboout their positions. There was also a scene where an extra would rush in and Huang Xiao Ming was to pull Da S along with him as he ran. They had to rehearse this quite a few times to get this perfect.

Lack of interaction makes it difficult to produce sparks of love

After filming, both of them went to chat with their own acquaintances. Da S was at on side stretching her back and even placed both of hands behind her neck as she rested her eyes. On the other hand, Huang Xiao Ming was standing behind a lamp post talking to someone else. The personal interaction between them is rare and few in between. It seems that there is still a long way to go if they wanted to develop a romance.

The director of "Summer of Bubbles" said, "Why would you say that things between Da S and Huang Xiao Ming are not going good? Didn't Huang Xiao Ming invite Da S along when he gave a treat of roasted meat the last time?" He said that artistes always go about doing their own things after filming, so one cannot say that their interaction is little based on this. However, we understand that it was because Hei Ren was there during the treat that they called Da S along.
