Yesterday Bernice Liu attended the largest Japanese Sake Fair in Hong Kong and attracted many people and fans. Bernice arrived in a Kimono and was at the scene live with a Japanese food expert to share the finest dishes. When she laid her hands on the long leg crab, she expressed that she was both happy and excited, smiled and said that she has never seen such a big long leg crab.

Wedding will not wear Kimono

Bernice expressed that yesterday all it was seen was the Kimono outfit on her. 45 minutes was required to put it on, it must be put on layer by layer and needed 3 Japanese girls to help her put it on. In the end, 4 layers were placed on her. In order to keep her waist straight, there was a large butterfly on her back. At the scene there were people who taught Bernice how to put on the traditional Kimonos, when she sits she must keep her back straight. Since she filmed Japanese based drama "Wasabi Mon Amour", it is her first time wearing Kimonos again. Asked if she would wear Kimono on her wedding? She smiled and said no, she personally likes to move around and dance, so it would be hard if she wore a Kimono. She also said when she was learning ballet she did many movements with her feet, but yesterday when she's in the Kimono she took gentle and small steps.

Tracey Ip is no doubt one of the Miss Hong Kong winners with the most negative news this year. TVB feel that Tracey is often creating news to get noticed and has ruined her own image. she had repeatedly been advised by TVB to be careful with her actions but it wasn't effective. Earlier she also used the Olympic's programme to create news and promote herself. In the end TVB have decided they will freeze Tracey after the Olympics have finished broadcasting.

Since Tracey won the Miss Hong Kong title in 2005 she had been promoted by TVB and had many different jobs including hosting and appearing in several TV series. Recent series that have been broadcasted were "Love Exchange", "When a Dog loves a Cat" and "Moonlight Resonance". Also Tracey had frequently appeared in swimwear shows at shopping malls.

Although she had been appearing alot in the public, her negative news has been reported non stop such as having plastic surgery, breast enlargements, buying a mansion, travelling with a mid aged man on expensive trips. All these news reports have seriously ruined her Miss Hong Kong image. TVB determine that many of the reports and pictures were created deliberately by Tracey and the magazine company. Tracey denied that she had made up news to promote herself and also stated she was the victim. TVB had become extremely unhappy with her non stop negative news.

Will not be arranged to appear in any series

Earlier TVB used alot of efforts to create the Olympic event programmes. Tracey was also given the chance to host the programme. But it was suddenly confirmed that Tracey had been replaced by Anna Yau to host the evening slot. This made Tracey extremely confused and she was even reported backstabbing Anna Yau. TVB was very concerned with this matter and considered that she should not have used the Olympics programme to create more news and trouble. Therefore, TVB have decided to freeze her work. She will not be arranged to film any new series and she will also be replaced for hosting "E-Buzz ".

TVB executive Virginia Lok did not give an straight answer but did not deny that Tracy will be frozen. She said "Tracey hasn't really appeared in many tv series and her main work is unrelated to acting. The programme (E-Buzz ) has been stopped for now, but I have not made further arrangements." Virginia admitted that she had met up with Tracey before to discuss about her negative news. "If she has news reports it may not be good, if they are negative news reports then it will certainly give a bad influence. Now it has definitley got to the point where it's bad. Tracey is a very smart person but she must know how to handle the matters as soon as possible. "

Since High School, Ron Ng loved playing basketball. Even though his skills may not have been fantastic but it definitely isn’t bad. No wonder when playing basketball with Roger Kwok and Tavia Yeung he had to teach both of them making a “new generation” of the three musketeers.

When studying in High School Ron loved a range of sports including basketball, soccer, volleyball, handball, badminton shows his amazing skills but that year he enjoyed watching NBA which had brought him into Basketball. Ron said “I think that the three musketeers (referring to NBA stars) played really well, their movements were fast and skillful which is why I use to play in High school”. He said that he wasn’t a spectacular Basketball player but he thought it was a great way to make new friends. He laughed “I remember when I was younger, I would go out with many friends to play Basketball, but sometimes there would only be two of us and slowly we become friends because we share the same interests which open up a good relationship between everyone”. Ron says that there aren’t any secrets to becoming good at basketball and practice is the best way to improve your skills.

Ron hasn’t been following the basketball matches but he said that he enjoys watching China’s number one player Yao Ming and he extremely enjoyed watching him at the Olympics : “Yao Ming also does a great performance, and even though he has rested for a few months he is still very courageous and doesn’t allow doubt, into his game.”

Ron Ng has been following the Olympic quite closely and every time he saw Chinese achieve a gold medal he would stand up and cheer, he said “Every time I watch the Olympics I always am cautious of China and when I see them achieve Gold I would be very touched because many of those participants start training at the age of 8 and have kept on training till today. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t an artist and instead standing on the podium screaming like mad”.

Hong Kong Media Asia's movie of the year, 'Lady Cop, Papa Crook' has established its official website (http://www.mediaasia.com/lcpc/). This movie is a collaboration of Alan Mak and Felix Chong, also casting Eason Chan, Michelle Ye, Sammi Cheng, Zhang Guo Li, etc famous actors, attracting attentions of all fans. In themovie, Eason plays a mafia boss while Michelle Ye plays a supporting yet determined wife, Yun Mei (婉微/Wan Wei), while Sammi Cheng plays high ranking police officer.

'Lady Cop, Papa Crook' is Sammi's first movie after her return, also Eason's most challenging movie, and is Michelle Ye's most enjoyable movie she filmed to date. This is her first time playing an 'ah sou' (wife of a big boss) of the triad society, and is also pregnant woman, thus her fans are anticipating in excitement. In fact, pregnant woman is not so easy to play, especially for those slim actresses, they need to be ready to sacrifice. Director has ever felt that Michelle was too skinny, thus Michelle began eating more to allow herself look chubbier in order to match her role in the movie more. Such determination and dedication of hers resulted her pregnant woman role to be portrayed very charmingly and realistically. Even the crews and other casts became especially more protective over this 'expecting mother', doting and caring for her more.

Changing one's outer look for the sake of their role is a norm for actors, but to be able to handle two extremely contradicting roles with ease is not too easy to achieve. Michelle Ye who has just played the 'ah sou' of the triad society will be immediately filming a new series which requires her to change 180 degrees around – to play a beaming and youthful university student. The producer favors Michelle Ye who is a student of the State's established college, where her lively and sunshine characteristic matches the Beijin university student a lot. Thus, they strongly recommended her to act in this university theme series with her own nature. Meanwhile, Michelle Ye chose this series over the many other scripts because she wished to have change from the solemn atmosphere of acting in both 'Lady Cop, Papa Crook' and 'Assassins' and to revisit the warm feelings of the school-days' innocence and joy. She is currently rushing to finish her filming for the movies which will end in mid of august and will be filming hew new series right after.

Myolie entered the industry as one of the winners from Miss Hongkong but she expressed that she is not a beautiful woman. This statement caused the reporters to break into a discussion. When reporters asked why she said that, she replied with an awkward shy smile: "A person must be humble. Although i have entered the industry from joining Miss Hong Kong, but i wasn't the champion. I am not the prettiest."

Myolie Wu was the second runner of Miss Hong Kong 1999. The winner was Sonijia Kwok. When Myolie said that she is not pretty, it seems to be rather contradicting. She expressed awkwardly that a person should be humble, "i'm not the prettiest, but i'm not considered ugly too. Although i entered the industry from joining Miss Hong Kong, but i am not the champion. Winning the third position, i know that i'm not the super pretty woman kind."

As the spokesperson of Adonis, Myolie is invited to Malaysia to attend the finals of Miss Adonis contest. At the press conference, Adonis representative, Ann Lee emphasized that the competition is not for choosing the prettiest but choosing the one who has changed to become pretty. Is she saying that Myolie isn't a pretty lady?

Upon hearing, Myolie laughed and said: "Whether i am a pretty lady or not, doesn't matter, only need to allow myself to become prettier will do."

Myolie is very satisfied with the pay (pay by Adonis for attending this function i think) and when asked how many figures is her pay this time, she expressed that the most important thing is happy working together. And her manager will be the one helping her to obtain a reasonable pay. Everyone doesn't need to worry.

Myolie has a short hair style. She is currently rushing for BF 3 filming and the filming will be done in one month time Asked for her opinions on her co-stars Wong Hei and Kevin Cheng, she expressed that she likes both. In addition, Myolie is currently preparing and recording for her solo cantonese album. She hopes to have a chance to sing chinese song because this is one of her wish.

Recently, the last episode of 'When a dog loves a cat' was shown late at night due to the Olympics. In the scene where Myolie realised that Gallen hasn't died, she found him behind a pillar in the hospital, and she was seen "floating" into the scene. This caused many audience to be unhappy. When asked about this, Myolie expressed that she doesn't know about this news,she needs to read the news first before she can respond.

The organiser of the function announced that the press conference will commenced at 2.30pm. Reporters arrived at the location and were informed that the press conference will start at 3.45pm. Myolie arrived at 3.30pm and was immediately invited to mix around with the organisers, talking about facial care. Hence, reporters waited at the location and was given a free lesson on facial care before the interview started.

Host: So completely blocked off… if we were to talk about your past loves they’ll be before the time you entered the entertainment industry.

Fung: Yeah. When I was studying…
Kitty: When you were studying… was your love life exciting back then?
Fung: Not really… only once.
Kitty: HUUUUUHHHHH? One and only one?
Fung: Yeah. A real relationship which lasted for a period of time, yeah really, once.
Host: How long were you together?
Fung: That time….. it was for about 2 to 3 years.
Kitty: How old were you then?
Fung: Actually it started off with me secretly liking her, but actually the first time I tried to chase a girl was a failure.

Kitty: Doesn’t matter! Many people are the same…
Fung: So after that time I don’t have much confidence.
Host: Was that the first/second time?
Fung: I studied in an all boys school, the first time I wanted to chase that girl she was my primary schoolmate. We were in the same primary school.
Host: Which year of primary school?
Fung: Hrm.. no. We were classmates but only developed feelings during high school…
Kitty: then you have feelings for her…
Fung: Yeah. During Form 5 we all went out for a reunion, and all the classmates would meet.
Kitty: That’s understandable since you were in an all boys school for a few years by then…
Host: During Form 4, Form 5 is when you have hair and facial hair that kind of stuff….
Kitty: Also possible that you have some friends who are dating already and you’re not. Boys might be more competitive, “I’m better looking than you, how would I not have a girlfriend too!!” Then you would search through the girls you know…
Fung: Not searching deliberately… because we all went out to meet, going back and visit our primary school teachers…. then we would all go to, back then there was already karaoke. We would sing etc.. after seeing her a few times there were starting to be some sparks… maybe it was only on one side.
Kitty: But this girl, during primary school, was she outstanding? Is she the prefect?
Fung: She was the prefect….
Kitty: Ahhhhh guessed right, BINGO! Why does every guy secretly likes the prefect?
Fung: Yeah, don’t know why.
Kitty: Yeah it’s true.
Host: Want to conquer the woman in power… a little bit of that.
Fung: Not really… usually the prefect is quite a good girl…
Host: And then what happened, you secretly liked her……
Fung: Not sure why, if it’s because I was in a boys school and don’t have much contact with girls, I was really nervous when I see girls. Like sweating in the palm of my hands, don’t know what to say…
Kitty: Did you ask her out alone?
Fung: No, didn’t ask her, too afraid. Just went to all the karaoke or dinner gatherings… and then some of my friends knew about it, so they said I should accompany her home. So when we got to her house, it was a rare opportunity so I just had to take it. I forgot what I said at the time….
Host: Ai ya!!!!
Kitty: Do you know we’re waiting to hear it!!?
Host: That line you don’t remember??!!
Fung: Let me think about it….
Kitty: So roughly, what did you say?
Fung: hrm…. roughly….
Kitty: What was that moment like?
Fung: Said I really like you that sort of thing….
Kitty: Did you hold her hand…?
Fung: Of course not! Never held her hand…
Host: Probably too afraid to…
Fung: Yeah..
Kitty: So you said “I really like you prefect girl.” (laughs)
Fung: Something like that….
Host: Or will you be my girlfriend?
Fung: I won’t be that straightforward, just “I like you…”
Host: “I like you” is not straightforward?
Kitty: Yeah just say you like her and don’t need to be together (boy/girlfriends).
Fung: Didn’t say that we should go out (chinese = pak tor), need to see her reaction first. But….
Kitty: What did she do?
Fung: She indirectly rejected me….
Kitty: What did she say?
Fung: I forgot!!!
Kitty: I’m just scared that you might’ve missed something! Because sometimes when girls say no, it might mean yes.
Fung: Really?
Kitty: Of course!
Host: Kitty knows a lot about these things.
Kitty: Because firstly – did the girl go to an all girls or co-ed high school?
Fung: An all girls high school.
Kitty: Yep, actually your situation and her situation is the same. During Form 1 to Form 3 she wouldn’t have guys chasing her… but the problem is, she probably thinks - why would I accept you straight away? If she accepts you she will be afraid that you might think less of her. (What kind of girl does he think I am?)
Host: Usually they’ll answer those…
Kitty: Confusing answers….
Host: Should study first….
Kitty: Yeah. And confusing like “let me think about it” etc… (Fung laughs) You missed it! Otherwise the prefect and you can have a happy life.
Host: Were you really hurt by it? First time wor…
Fung: Very hurt ga… because at the time I was still a silly kid.
Host: Did you see her again? Go to karaoke?
Fung: No, but later on, actually even now we have old classmates meetings…..
Host: Chance to rekindle….
Fung: No la…. maybe now she already has a boyfriend…..
Kitty: Fight for her lor! You should have confidence….
Host: Why don’t you just ask first?
Kitty: Yeah but he can say something like, “ahh… you have a lot of spare time, don’t you need to spend it with your boyfriend?” And then she’ll say, “I don’t have a boyfriend….”
Fung: Haven’t seen her in many years, don’t know what she looks like now….
Host: Oh now I see. Need to find that out first…
Kitty: Maybe she already lost some of it….

Host: So what about your first relationship?
Fung: That one was my classmate.
Host: In high school?
Fung: No at university… we knew each other before university, in the beginning we talked on the phone, wrote letters to each other. Yep, that’s it.
Host: That’s all he’ saying…
Kitty: Not acceptable ga wor…
Fung: Yeah, like that. I’ve never talked so much about my love life before…
Kitty: We still have over half an hour, what do we do?
Fung: I still have a lot to say.
Host: We haven’t asked the questions which Siu Yan Jeh will ask…
Kitty: OK we’ll let you have a rest first, listen to your song and relax. Later on, we’ll keep digging into your past!
Host: He actually has that shy, embarrassed look! Crazy!
Kitty: Are Fung’s fans worried about him? In our hands, he’ll definitely be finished!

(song break)
Kitty: OK.. back to something precious, the first puppy love.
Host: Need to talk about Fung’s sweet relationship no matter what.
Fung: Yeah.. hrm…
Kitty: How did you chase her? Before you said you knew each other in high school….
Fung: Hrm… how did I chase her… hrm… actually in the beginning we were purely like penpals.
Kitty: Ahh? From penpals?
Fung: Yeah, can say it developed normally, then we would go out and meet….
Kitty: Did you see her photo before meeting her?
Fung: HUH?
Kitty: Like did you ask her to give you her photo…?
Fung: Not “penpals”…
Host: They already know each other!
Kitty: Ahhh!! I thought they only knew each other as penpals!
Host: They wrote to each other! Be smarter! Don’t be too caught up la Kitty! Need to bring you back to reality….
Kitty: ok ok ok… so you finally meet… but haven’t confirmed whether you’re boy/girlfriends…
Host: Not finally meet! They’ve already met!
Kitty: I mean they both want to go out and meet…
Fung: We would go to movies together, have meals…
Host: So just like dating… because you’ve been writing to each other for so long you already know what’s happening.
Kitty: But not asking her whether she’ll be your girlfriend?
Fung: Actually I did, there was a moment where I asked, “Can you be my girlfriend?”
Kitty: hmmm… hmmmmm
Host: Before Fung was saying this while looking directly at Kitty! Kitty would accept immediately! That look she has on her face….!! (all laughs)
Kitty: That saying goes you need to do the hard work… in other occupations there’s this hard work, for me this is already doing the hard work lor!
(Kitty referred to a Chinese saying which I’m not 100% sure on what it actually means!)
Host: She was so involved in it, so natural!
Kitty: If you didn’t say anything, no one will know!!
Host: This scene is so funny! And then what happened….?
Kitty: Just don’t fight with me to say “hmmmm….hmmm” later…
Host: Fung didn’t say it to me!
Kitty: Don’t scare him!
Fung: I forgot where I was up to…
Kitty: “Can you be my girlfriend?” - like that.
Host: (inaudible) see a movie (??)
Fung: No there’s no need…
Kitty: What are you so scared about? You need some training!
Fung: (keeps laughing) my stomach is aching. Then in a shy manner, she said, “hm yes ok”.
Host: That is a very happy moment.
Fung: I was really really really happy. That was my first relationship.
Kitty: But how long did it develop for? It was mysterious… and then finally, you said it.
Fung: For over a year….
Kitty: Wahhh…
Host: This is so sweet, when the tension reaches the highest point and then you succeeded with one sentence.
Fung: Yeah because I was rejected before, I was scared that one sentence will destroy this relationship.
Host: Fung, have you noticed that guys need that confirmation? So you guys met, wrote to each other, meet, have meals and went to the movies, then it gets to that point where you need to confirm. Like if you don’t sign the contract it doesn’t feel like it’s real. But girls might not care about it.
Kitty: No wor! I feel that girls has a greater desire to confirm. Because, like from my friends’ experiences, without the confirmation the guy might just feel you’re a good female friend of his….
Fung: Actually, both guys and girls want to confirm….
Kitty: If you don’t confirm the guy suddenly tells you, “wei, I’m dating so and so.”
Host: But this is such a brave act from Fung because he had failed before. If he bravely said it and then the girl replied, “let’s be friends” and you’ll be finished…
Fung: Then I’ll be really hurt again.
Kitty: But I believe when he said it he’s pretty sure the girl will say yes.
Fung: Actually from observing during our day to day lives, going out to eat…
Kitty: Talking on phone everyday…
Fung: Yeah talking on the phone for hours..
Kitty: Has to be!
Host: Some people will choose not to say this confirmation yet, then when seeing a movie he would suddenly hold her hand, that type….
Kitty: Like the old fashioned way, holding her hand when crossing the road…
Host: Yeah, like that… in this case you’re braver.
Fung: This type is too dramatic I think. Plus at that moment you might not have the courage to do it.
Kitty: Would rather say it…
Fung: I’m not that brave…
Host: Ok she accepts…. and then…? Did you hold her hand?
Kitty: What happened that night?
Host: Hold hands? Not that far ahead yet.
Fung: Hold her hand… then hug her.
Kitty: Did you know how to hug? You haven’t hugged a girl before… you might suffocate her.
Host: How could a guy not know how to hug a girl?
Kitty: Wait… I have something to say…
Fung: It will feel unnatural.
Kitty: Need to say something because I’ve been to Christmas balls, some guys you can feel they don’t know how to hug a girl.
Fung: No, won’t suffocate her, the height is just right….
Host: I didn’t say that line, Fung…
Fung: I’m so sorry! Sorry!
Kitty: I’m not saying anything more. (Fung is still apologising) I was going to talk about my experience in Christmas balls but I won’t say it anymore. (Kitty pretends to be mad, but laughs again.)
Host: Hugging is like an instinct, will know how to.
Kitty: No there’re some like they’ll strangle you, a bear hug…
Fung: No… won’t happen.

Yesterday morning Kate Tsui was involved in an car accident while driving to Seung Sui for work. It was suspected that due to dodging a dog in the road her car suddenly lost control and crashed into the back of a van. But because of the impulse force her car bounced and hit the curb. The windscreen was totally smashed. According to sources not only did Kate injure her head, arms but most worrying was that her chest area was injured too. She was taken to hospital immediately but after examinations it was confirmed that their were no fractures. However, although Kate still felt alot of pain in the chest area she was still willing to continue filming for the day.

After the crash Kate and the Van driver were assisted by the police. Kate was taken to North District Hospital in Seung Sui for immediate treatment. Afterwards she was still willing to continue to go to the Sister Aquinas Memorial Women's Treatment Centre to film new series "Beauitful HD". Kate wore a cap and her right hand was wrapped in a bandage, while Chris Lai was beside her. When Kate saw her manager Leung Kwok Chung she instantly went to hug him. It appeared that she was still in a lot of shock.

Kate had been filming for several hours and finished at 6:45pm. During that time the reporter noticed the bandage on her hand had already been removed. She waved to reporters and was asked about her injuries. Kate said "Thank you everyone, I am okay. My chest was just in alot of pain" (Have you had alot of NG's due to still being in shock?) "No, everything is fine, my mom is worried about me that's why I am going straight home." (Have you been drinking alcohol?) "Definitley not, I was just trying to dodge a dog".

"Beautiful HD" producer Tsui Yu On revealed that he did ask Kate whether she needed to rest but Kate insisted to continue as she understood that the location was booked and may cause problems. But due to safety precautions he will reduce action scenes so that she can rest.

Linda Chung, Sunny Chan, Charmaine Li etc attended the promotion event in ancient costumes for new series "Legend of the Demigods " yesterday. Mak Ling Ling was invited to fortune tell through word (Chinese character) analysis and the artistes were arranged to play games such as piggy back. Linda appeared very playful during the piggyback game. But she had an awkward moment when one of the other artistes instantly picked out a pair of male briefs from the plastic box. She constantly smiled to cover up the awkwardness.

Linda stated that "Legend of the Demigods" was the first series she had appeared as main lead and she has alot of expectations. The story plot talks about Linda having to save her parents who have turned into pigs and is similar to the movie "Spirited Away". Linda says that she is not afraid that people may think the storyline was copied. "There are many fairytales that are combined in the series, therefore I'm not afraid." (This is TVB's largest investment series for CGI effect?) "Yes, but that does not give me any pressure, I am very happy that the company has invested so much money into it. " Sunny Chan stated that the new series has a positive meaning and he will ask his son to watch it.

Not worried about Album sales

Also Linda's debut album was released yesterday. Yesterday evening Linda personally went to a record store and many of her fan's were waiting with support banners. Linda said that she had already written the list for who she will give her albums too. She will give out 100 copies of her album to her work colleagues, artistes and friends. But she will not give one to her rumored boyfriend Raymond Lam. "I think he will buy an copy himself as he said he would buy it." She also expressed that she was not worried about her debut album. "I won't think about it, I asked my record company and they said the order sales were very good. I hope the sales will exceed Gold disc results."

'Lady Cop, Papa Crook' directed and produced by Alan Mak and Felix Chong has finally released its trailer today (1st Aug 2008). The movie is Sammi Cheng's first work after her break of 2 years, the trailer shows Sammi's breakthrough in acting.

Sammi's breakthrough in acting

The premier trailer of 'Lady Cop, Papa Crook' is about 2 minutes long, it is evidently a fast tracked preview, in addition to the infectious background music, it portrays suspense and thrilling atmosphere. From the trailer, the complexity of the plot gave the casts much space for performance, Eason Chan hid away his comical side, and demonstrate mostly inner emotions acting while Sammi performed very flaringly, allowing her to breakthrough her acting in the past. The few supporting actors also performed very outstandingly, from some angles it seems to remind one of 'Infernal Affairs', evidently a production of Alan Mak. Both directors informed reporters that Sammi's police uniform was in fact designed according to Andy Lau's uniform in 'Infernal Affairs'.

Acting the Tony-Leung way

Both Mak and Chong believed Sammi is the best icon for white collar female roles, both her movies and music speak for the women of the current era, fulfilling the needs of this role. In addition, both of them also felt that though Eason has been playing a 'siu zi' (comical) role in the past, they believe that he can play a 'siu sang' too, just like Tony Leung and Andy Lau. During the process of filming, Mak and Chong taught him to act the Tony-Leung way, to present everyone an entirely new Eason Chan. After the release of the clip, the director shared the clip with some friends in the entertainment industry, they claimed to have never seen a more handsome. Besides, Zhang Guo Li aso appeared in one of the scene in the trailer. Zhang Guo Li has never participated in a Hong Kong movie before. Perhaps his exception this time marks his entrance into the Hong Kong market.

Hong Kong female star Michelle Ye who has the title 'Rumor Queen' is rumored to be having an 'underground elder sister – younger brother relationship' with Zhang Guo Li's son, Zhang Mo. Michelle came over secretly to film for advertisement and does not accept any interviews. However, reporters got to know from the crew that this advertisement had Michelle travel from Hangzhou to Suzhou to Shanghai, but she had Zhang Mo's company all the while.

Crew had to wait for 6 hours

At 3pm yesterday, reporters came to the shooting set. Michelle was in a white dress posing to the camera. Her manager alerted upon noticing the presence of reporters and immediately hid Michelle back in the make-up room and the shooting did not resume until the reporters had left.

Reporters got to know from the crew at work that the shooting was actually suppose to begin at 6am, but Michelle only appeared at 12 noon, the reason was because she only got to sleep at 3am. "We arrived at5plus, and were all ready, but she instead said she needed rest and can't afford to have dark circles, otherwise she won't film, and she slept right up to 1pm before we began work. Everyone waited for her for a whole 6 hours." Towards this, the director expressed his understanding, "Actually Michelle is very nice, she does not have any airs at all, to be at her best condition for the shooting should be the basic requirement of every female star."

Michelle was mistaken to be Tong Yao

Michelle has always had the label of 'Rumor Queen', she has rumors with almost all her male leads. In the end of 2006, Michelle films a bitter series 'Jiao Yi Sheng Ma Ma' with Zhang Mo who is two years younger than herself. No one ever thought that their chemistry would begin from the series. It was not until when a netizen exposed their intimate photos when they were on an outing at Hong Kong's Disneyland that their 'elder sister-younger brother' relationship was exposed.

In April this year, Zhang Mo was filming in Yunan when he was seen to enter a beauty salon with his ex-girlfriend Tong Yao, there were also reports that he reconciled with Tong Yao. Reporters got to know from an insider source that they discovered that the person mistaken to be Tong Yao was actually Michelle Ye. Michelle had just finished filming a movie in Hong Kong, and flew over to visit her lover immediately. This insider source also told reporters: "Both of them are together everyday when they have no work, their relationship is very good." As to why she only slept at 3am yesterday, causing the shooting to delay might most probably be because both of them have fun together till late at night.

Michelle Ye was friendly and took her time to fulfill their requests the best she can.

On the day before the event, her health condition was not too good but she appeared lively and earnest at the event, earning cheers from fans from time to time. With such professionalism and warm personality, it is no wonder she is constantly swarmed by fans.

Towards Michelle’s achievement in the movies industry, fans expressed that they are happy and satisfied, some used the phrase ‘3 Yang Guo’ to describe her partners in movies industry. The 3 Yang Guo refers to her partners in ‘Sniper’, Huang Xiao Ming and Richie Ren, as well as Louis Koo in ‘Assassins’. It is not hard to realize that all three handsome actors has played the different versions of Yang Guo before merging to become ‘3 Yang Guo’ collaborating with Michelle Ye, a coincidental fate. What is much anticipated is her new series which will begin filming soon, who will now be the handsome male lead for the series? It can only be disclosed after the filming of the series begins.

On 20th August, Andy Lau and his assistants appeared at Beijing Airport Terminal 3, it's not sure what's the reason of Andy's arrival with the Olympic Games coming to a close. Andy was wearing a dark color top and sunglasses, he appeared to be doing it in a low profile manner as he's afraid of being recognized, maybe his face is too famous, thus the very moment he stepped out of the gate, he was immediately recognized by his fans.

The organizer also arranged 3 bodyguards, they were waiting for him because when Andy appeared, the 3 bodyguards immediately rushed forward and get around him leaving him at the center among the 3 bodyguards. When reporters went forward to take photographs, the bodyguards kept using their hands to block the camera's view. Meanwhile, Andy whom had got used to such situation told the bodyguards: "This is their job, don't do this to them," he only smile and waved towards the reporters' cameras. His assistant was saying: "We're rushing for time, thank you!" When reporters followed them to the escalator, Andy's assistant stop them while Andy swiftly went up the escalator to exit the airport. It is unsure if Andy is here to perform in the Olympic Games closing ceremony.

When Andy had left the airport, the fans were still excited as they asked one another "Did you managed to photographed him?" Can let me take a look, how many can you passed to me?" It do seems that Andy's popularity is still number one in showbiz.

Nobody seems to know what's the motive of Andy in Beijing as he had been in Beijing for the past 2 days and no schedules had been revealed, this does not avoid one to relate this to the earlier reports that Andy will be in Beijing to watch the Olympic Games with his alleged girlfriend Carol Zhu Liqian. Thus, many reporters from Hong Kong had been camping in Beijing in hope of getting their exclusive news.

It is understand that Andy is among the performing artiste for the closing ceremony, the other performing artistes includes Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Joey Yung, Emil Chou, Jolin Tsai, Jackie Chan, Nan Yingm Han Hong, Sun Nan singing a duet; Wong Li-hom, Kelly Chen and Rain singing a duet, Jay Chou leading 3 other singers in a duet; Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and Leona Lewis collaborate in Whole Lotta Love; Song Zhu Ying and Placido Domingo duet with Yunan dancers in the background.

Recently, Fung has appeared on a few radio interviews. The content is quite similar (where he talks about his love life and rumoured girlfriends). I picked this one to translate because I found it quite funny, especially when Kitty is “electrified” by ah Fung! This radio show was aired on 16th August on FM903’s AiShiTeRu, this segment is called “Love Story”. It is hosted by Kitty Yuen Siu Yee & Yu Dik Wai. As I don’t know the male host’s English name I’ve just referred to him as “Host”!

Raymond Lam Fung is 1/16th Spanish and is very popular against TV fans. From “A Taste of Love”, “A Step into the Past”, “Survivors Law”, “Twin of Brothers” to the recent “Moonlight Resonance”, his popularity is only rising not falling. His fans organised fan clubs for him in HK and Mainland China. HK’s club is called Fung Forever, and the one Mainland China is called FMH. Besides TV fans, music fans also like him. The themes and subthemes sang by Fung are very popular and he also received the award for the best selling male newcomer. Also, he’s also attacking the children’s market by singing theme songs for Digital Dinosaur (?) and Masked Superman. So even little kids like him. But out of everyone I think the people who like him the most are the paparazzi because every time Fung films a new series, they will add a rumoured girlfriend for him. His rumoured girlfriends include: Sonija Kwok, Rain Li, Michelle Ye, Tavia Yeung and Charmaine Sheh. His latest rumoured girlfriend is Linda Chung who is also this year’s Olympic Star.

Kitty: Are you that good ar Lam Fung? That many???
Host: Hang on, before Fung was actually quite surprised. He said there were a few in there that didn’t have rumours.
Fung: I don’t know when these rumours came about?
Kitty: Even though these rumoured romances, let’s face it, people never admit to them. The rumour about you (the other host) and me is like that… how could I admit it?
Host: You don’t want to admit it jeh Kitty!
Kitty: But we can talk about each of them…
Fung: When did I have rumours with Sonija?
Kitty: Did you?
Fung: Huh? No really!
Host: You had rumours with many people!
Kitty: I want to clarify for Sonija because I had filmed “D.I.E” with her and we chatted about this. Why does she have so many rumoured romances? Actually she feels too that she’s been hard done by…
Fung: I feel so too….
Kitty: Many newspapers and magazines, don’t know why, are all pointing at her. Every series she will have rumours with her co-star.
Fung: Yeah feel sorry for her… it’s become a habit…
Kitty: And all the bad things are all directed to her….
Host: She has said before that her face (look) can attract these kind of things easily.
Kitty: I said to her – when she doesn’t smile, she looks like she’s angry at everyone because her eyes are big. They’re very striking, very deep. So it looks like she’s mean.
Fung: But the people who know her – knows she’s very nice. She’s super nice…. (hosts agree)

Host: We should talk about Fung….
Kitty: Yeah I strike that one out for you….
Host: Who else do you need to cross out?
Fung: There were rumours with Rain, because we finished filming a movie and then filmed a TV series straight after. So there’s continuity… so it feels like the rumour can go on for a while….
Host: So were they just rumours or were there truth in it?
Fung: How do you mean by truth?
Host: Rumours are rumours….. you know, were you guys real (couple)?
Fung: We’re good friends.
Kitty: But secretly did you feel it would be good if you were dating this girl?
Fung: Didn’t think about it at the time….
Kitty: Because you were too busy…..?
Fung: wahh really when filming…. (inaudible)
Kitty: Rain is a good girl, we’ve worked with her before and she’s a pure, and a girly girl.
Fung: hmm yeah she is a good girl…
Kitty: Unlike me who’s a boyish girl.
Host: So let’s talk about amongst all these rumoured girlfriends who is not a good girl? Since you guys are analysing their personality.
Kitty: Well “not a good girl” doesn’t mean bad girls! Let’s be clear about this.

Host: So what about Michelle Ye?
Fung: I’ve worked with Michelle… 3 times. During filming there weren’t any rumours so don’t know why it suddenly came out. Is it because they need another one to compile it to a list?
Kitty: Usually it is… the family tree is very big so it creates more talking points…
Fung: Why does it have to be so big?

Host: Nothing from all these girls….
Fung: Yeah, I’ve known Tavia for almost 10 years. We were in the same TVB acting class. So if they want to create rumours they should’ve been around much earlier.
Kitty: Now Tavia is Chris Lai’s….
Host: Really?
Kitty: Yeah a magazine photographed them together in a car…
Host: These magazines are for people like Kitty to read lor!
Fung: Chris is quite good friends with a lot of the female colleagues. (all laughs)
Kitty: Actually yeah.. I want to say Chris has invited me to play badminton before because I always say “Wei when you play badminton you introduced these people and they become couples! When will I play with you??” And then he said, “Well you can come too lor! We play every week…”
Fung: He’s very popular with the female colleagues because he’s very nice and very cute (personality wise!)
Kitty: Yeah… he’s super nice.
Fung: Yeah I always say - “I always lose to you”.

Host: OK…. ah Sheh? Charmaine Sheh…
Fung: Worked with Charmaine…. hrm… if I remember correctly, 2 or 3 times as well, at least twice.
Host: We’re just talking about the rumoured romance….
Fung: There weren’t any rumours during filming, because when you’re really spreading the rumour you spread it during filming. You work together for so many months, with so many pairs of eyes watching and there weren’t any rumours so that means nothing is happening.
Kitty: There weren’t any rumours during filming, and then they start once the series airs. Is it because the series need promotion?
Fung: Yeah doesn’t matter, treat it like promoting the series.
Kitty: OK…..

Host: So in this list we keep crossing off names and now we’re left with Linda Chung and Rain Li.
Fung: Yeah..
Kitty: Linda is the rumour now right?
Fung: Huh? What? Yeah it’s rumoured now…
Host: So many rumours and not even one with a bit of truth?
Fung: For entertainment purposes, we just read it like entertainment.
Kitty: More exposure…

Host: Before Fung said there were also rumours with Myolie Wu.
Fung: Yeah one time when we were filming “Survivors Law”, I remember we were at Happy Valley filming some outdoor scenes. Myolie, the director, the assistant director and I went to have lunch. After lunch I had to buy a leash for my dog that day so we went to the pet store to buy it. Myolie went into the store with us because there were many cute dogs there. When we walked out they took a photo so we’re a “couple”….
Kitty: Turned into “going into the pet store together”….
Fung: Yeah… dating.
Host: Kitty is useless lor…. nobody takes a photo of her going into the pet store….
Kitty: Well I need to be with ah Fung!
Fung: Nah there’re many in the Happy Valley area….
Host: Kitty, they’re all at least half or two heads taller than you!
Kitty: I’m not thinking about fighting with them… I know I’m definitely going to lose…
Host: When they take the photo the photo will only have Fung’s head, so what’s the point?
Kitty: (laughs) So next time we shouldn’t go to the pet store together, we should go to a restaurant. When we sit at the restaurant the level is better….
Host: Even in a restaurant you need to sit on a yellow pages!
Kitty: So sad, so Fung and I won’t have any rumours.

Host: Let’s not talk about the rumours. Fung, tell us about your real love stories….
Kitty: Yeah is your love life quite exciting?
Fung: I wish it was exciting…
Kitty: No way….!!!
Fung: Actually I remember… before I filmed “Heart of Greed” many producers said to me, “ah Fung, actually your acting skills in many different situations are quite ok. But you’re quite weak in portraying love relationships.” I admit this, I said I don’t know why in this area my performance can’t go as far.
Host: So you mean you don’t have the experience…
Fung: Yeah it’s true.
Host: Because when we talked about this before we went on air, after you entered the entertainment industry you’re always working.
Fung: I’m very lucky, actually from when I started to now I’ve filmed series after series. If I say I don’t want to be in a relationship. That will be a lie. I really want to date, I will also meet some girls who I like. I’ll meet girls who I think I would like to get to know more of. But usually before you even get to know them you would cut it off because you don’t have the time, you don’t have the energy.
Host: During this long time have you met girls who are stuck on you? Like you can’t get rid of? e.g. Oh so you’re busy… doesn’t matter! I’ll wait! Even if you finish work at 4am I’ll wait! Do these types of girls still exist?
Kitty: Maybe they love you very much…
Fung: I don’t like people who are such a bother…
Host: But do they exist?
Fung: Do I have them? But if it gets to that stage you’re already together.
Host: So completely blocked off… if we were to talk about your past loves they’ll be before the time you entered the entertainment industry.

Jessica Hsuan's birthday is on August 18th, but she felt unwell (flu) and had to take half a day off to visit the doctor. Yesterday when she started working, she expressed that it was spread to her. She smiles: "the source was when Joel Chan and Leila Tong finished filming a fired up scene, it spread to Leila. That's how it spread, but I also worked during the evenings. (Isn't it sad to have to work and be sick on your birthday?) Working is good, there's a whole group of colleagues to celebrate with me, a few days before my birthday I didn't have to work so I had dinner with some friends."

Speaking her birthday wish, Jessica laughed and said: "She again hopes to be happy and good health. Once someone reaches this age, its the same wish. (A year old, is it time to find your other half?) Like I said, let fate decide, don't want to overcharge."

Yesterday Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong, Aimee Chan and Elaine Yiu were in Kowloon City filming for new series "Burning Flames III". The scene talked about Bosco's wife played by Aimee Chan and Kevin's younger sister played by Elaine Yiu experiencing an accident on the streets where a falling sign fell and injured them. Aimee is pregnant and the accident caused her to do some unnecessary movements, she had to put on a painful expression. Playing the firemen, Kevin Cheng and Bosco Wong drove by in a fire engine, maybe they were rushing to put out fire and that it was their responsibilities, but they had to pass by the two injured family members, watched their painful expressions and couldn't do anything.

A hot day, Kevin and Bosco both had to wear thick firemen uniforms, the two were so hot that they had to call for help. Before filming started, they already felt dizzy. Kevin said: "Today I'm really lucky because I could sit in the air conditioned fire engine. Usually there is no air conditioning and being a firemen always had to work with fire, wear those thick firemen uniforms, its heat on top of heat." Also, Elaine was slightly injured when she was filming the scene, but she only scratched her left hand a bit, after some small treatments she is okay.

Since Kenix Kwok had lost out in receiving TVB's "Best Actress" award there had been numerous rumors claiming that her relationship with TVB had changed and she was also removed from casting in "A Pillow Case of Mystery II". Due to not liking how TVB treated her she accepted an interview for i-cable's channel. But it seemed that these rumors were untrue because Kenix has been officially casted in TVB's new epic series and will be heavily promoted.

TVB will start filming a new 40 episode series in November. The main leads will not involve any new actors or actresses. Rather inviting back veteran artistes such as Gallen Lo, Kenix Kwok, Ray Lui Leung Wai and Jamie Chik (Michael Miu's real wife) and many more. TVB hope's that the more experienced actors acting and storyline will attract the audience. Anita Yuen may also be casted in the series.

Kenix accepted a long distance call and admitted that she had accepted to film TVB's new epic series. She said "All the rumors earlier were not true and I do not need to clarify anything. When people hear that I am filming for TVB again it proves that earlier rumors were meaningless." She stresses that she hasn't filmed a series for 2 years and her relationship is still good with TVB. She was just hoping for a good storyline and stated that she had finally found one. Not only did the storyline appeal to her but also TVB executives Virginia Lok and Ngau Koon Ying had invited her to film the series. They also increased her salary making her very touched.

The reporter also asked Anita Yuen who is currently taking a break about the new series, she replied " I'm not sure, I have to look at the script and the requirements. I also have to see how my dieting is going because many people said I looked fat in (Love Exchange)".

Fung’s popularity has risen due to the airing of “Moonlight Resonance”, recently he was interviewed by Lam Pak Hei (a radio show host from Metro Radio).

When Fung spoke about his love life, he openly admitted that he would like to be in a relationship. He has also met a girl that he has a favourable impression on, but ultimately he will not take action. The reason is because he’s too busy so he cannot spend a lot of time or energy on it, and it would not be satisfactory for the other person. Plus he is a person who desires perfection, so he will often point out the other person’s shortcomings. So everytime he picks a girlfriend he will be very careful, and he’s also afraid that once a relationship happens the feelings will be different from before. Also, he’s very insecure, which caused his love life to be currently empty. He also said he would like his future partner to be a traditional girl, of course he would like a beautiful girlfriend, but feeling comfortable with her is the most important.

TVB popular leading actress Charmaine Sheh appeared at 《喝彩！北京奥运》[Bravo, Beijing Olympics] live airing yesterday. She smiled and said that she has just finished taking the longest holiday break since entering entertainment business: "I rested for a month and visited my mum in Hawaii. I still pay attention to the Olympic games, especially gymnastic event. This is because I have practiced on the balance beam before. My biggest dream back then is to do a somersault on the balance beam, but it is really difficult. Therefore I really admired those medallists."

When asked which athlete she would like to meet in person, Charmaine said Yao Ming. "Because he is really tall. I will take off my heels to take picture next to him, I’ll look like a midget."

Returning from holiday, the topic will naturally be diverted to her upcoming work schedule. Charmaine says that can still rest for a period of time: "I'll be filming a new series in October with Dayo Wong. It's a light-hearted comedy. The tentative title for the series is called [Business Doctor]. Dayo is a 'doctor' whose expertise is in rescuing companies that are going bankrupt. I will be his lover in the series." She also expressed that this her second collaboration with Dayo. "Unfortunately the first time we worked together for a short period of time, which was [Justice Sung 2]. We only worked together for a week, therefore I really anticipate the upcoming series. Plus, we will be filming comedy series, therefore I'm really looking forward to my first comedy series.”

Though she admits she is not as funny as Dayo, Charmaine feels that she won't lose out to him either. "He can't go freely on his own, there is a script to follow. Therefore I have confidence that our collaboration will be hilarious."

Since there were plenty of celebrities' marriages this year, such as Tony Leung and Carina Lau' s wedding, Charmaine was questioned about her future plans. As this, Charmaine smiled: "It's not that I don't want to. I haven't found my other half yet."

She frankly expressed that she doesn’t have special requirement for her other half, "As long as we could communicate well, being happy together, dotes on me, preferably older than me. I don't mind whether he is from inside or outside the entertainment circle." Charmaine also said that if she have found a companion, she would not object letting the public know.

Eason Chan has recently been busy in Taiwan promoting his newest album, Don't Want To Let Go, when unexpectedly, yesterday, reports surfaced that he was cheating on his wife.

Just two days ago, despite the rain, Eason performed for his fans during an autograph session and ended up wet from head to toe. The 'thanks' he got in return was a magazine publishing photos and a story accusing him of infidelity. The story alleged he had dinner with an 'unknown female' and afterwards went back to his room. Universal Music clarified that the 'unknown female' was a Universal Music Taiwan employee and stated that the reports are made up. Eason issued a response through a Universal Music promotions employee, who said, "[The pictured female] is a Taiwan co-worker, after work they went out for a meal and afterwards the female employee brought Eason back to the hotel, but did not go to his room. They went their separate way to rest."

Not being affected by the reports Eason returned to Hong Kong and continued work as usual filming a MV for his newest Cantonese song 歌頌, which ended up taking 8 hours. Afterwards, Eason was friendly and polite, saying, "Sorry for making you wait." As for the reported infidelity accusations, Eason says, "I'm not going to respond."

Through a telephone interview, wife Hilary Tsui expressed that she fully trusts her husband, saying, "Of course I trust him! I won't mention it [to him] and I don't care [about the reports]. I knew there was something. Once I got to the street there were reporters following me, I just didn't know what he did. I even told him [about the reporters following.]" When asked if she immediately asked Eason about the accusations when she first heard of them, Hilary responds, "I don't need to ask him. If I ask, it means I don't trust him. We don't need to express our trust in each other thru words." Hilary has been busy taking care of their daughter Constance Chan and is busy with the upcoming school year opening; therefore, she doesn't have time to deal with non-relevant things.

After hearing about the accusations, manager Kaite Chan was not happy, saying, "Son (Eason) has always been a great father and great husband, which is why these accusations should not have appeared with his name in the first place. The 'unknown female' was with Eason because of work reasons. I have a full understand of the situation and she brought Eason and his assistant back to the hotel, but she did not go up to their rooms. I hope that these types of rumors will leave Eason for good because he absolutely is a caring family man."

Elsewhere, during an interview in Taiwan, Eason says he is not a good father especially since he has never read his daughter a bedtime story. Eason thinks into the future as says, "I hope that there will be a normal routine in the future. It's best if I can bring my daughter to school in the morning and afterwards meet up with Jacky Cheung to play some tennis, and end the night by tucking my daughter into bed."
