Hong Kong Media Asis's big production 'Lady Cop, Papa Crook' will hit the screens in Onctober, the movie is a collaboration of Alan Mak and Felix Chong, using a whole new approach to relate a police story. Actress Michelle Ye and singer Eason Chan plays a loving couple in the movie. Eason Chan is the mafia boss who deals with illegal business while Michelle Ye is the woman behind him. As this is her first attempt playing a mafia boss' wife, Michelle's performance in this movie is much anticipated.

In 'LCPC', Eason Chan plays a reserved and capable man, more appealing in comparison to his past images, not only satisfying and pleasantly surprising the directors, even his 'wife' Michelle Ye was extremely amazed. However, Eason seemed unaccustomed to expressing his emotions through tears. Recalling a crying scene of his with Michelle, where they were comforting one another, Eason expressed guys do not cry easily, they can portray their grieves without crying, however the scene was one which required both of them to be crying tearfully. Therefore, Michelle who has had more experience with crying scenes becomes Eason's 'spontaneous teacher', sharing her experiences with him generously. This allowed Eason to quickly found the needed mood and accomplished his performance in the scene excellently causing Michelle to be very amazed.

Towards their initial collaboration in 'LCPC', both Michelle and Eason are happy about it. Both of them are very carefree, they're not merely compatible in their movie collaboration, they also help one another in different aspects of acting. In fact, both of them have collaborated in TV series 'Triumph in the Skies' where Michelle Ye played an outstanding female pilot, while Eason was a guest star, playing himself as a singer. However, they did not have any scenes together, and did not really got to know each other, and having this chance to work together, it is without doubt that both of them will pleasantly surprise the audiences with their performances.

Wong Hei is busy filming Burning Flames 3. Earlier there were reports that Kevin Cheng frequently empties his wallet to treat the rest of the cast and crew. Surprisingly, Myolie Wu who is in the same drama, hasn't been as generous as Kevin.

Wong Hei says that everyone has been generous in treating other staff to meals, but Kevin truly does it the most. Maybe his wallet is very thick! Wong Hei says: "Although I'd like to too, but my wallet doesn't really compare to his!" If you say that Myolie treats us less, it honestly is just the thought that counts. As long as she's covered the bill before, no one will be keeping tabs on it. Actually, our producer Wong Sum Wei has treated us the less, only one meal!

Wong Hei reveals that one scene initially cost $5000 to rent a truck for long angle filming, but after careful consideration, the team decided that it would be better to keep it simple. When asked if Wong Hei's character will die in the series, he refuses to answer, only saying that all the actors in the series portray their characters extraordinarily well, and all of them should be up for awards. Since the filming has been tiring and difficult, it doesn't matter if it's just 'pork meat' or 'goat meat' or 'chicken meat' (referring the award as a meal), anything type of recognition will be good!

Kevin Cheng and rumored girlfriend Niki Chow has always been regarded as a perfect couple by the media, where they're many years of underground love has been strong - even the wind can't pull them apart. But recently there has been rumors saying that Kevin is cheating behind Niki's back with Charmaine Sheh. Charmaine is also rumored with Ron with a "brother-sister" love, the square of love becomes unclear.

Charmaine and Kevin has both experienced many triangle (or multiple angle loves). Last year the two of them collaborated once again in "Forensic Heroes II", Charmaine and Benny Chan's relationship faces some struggles and then Charmaine begins sparks with Kevin. After "Forenics Heroes II" released, the two often attended promotions and celebrations, their relationship went into another level. At the time Niki Chow was in Mainland filming a series, the two did not see each other for 2 months, no wonder the love drifted apart. As for Charmaine she exposed to a friend that she keeps in contact with Kevin, and will not care if he has a girlfriend. In 2006, after breaking up with Benny, she turned to love Ron Ng this year. She once expressed to friends that she wants to get married, realized that Ron doesn't have a sense of security, but Kevin provided a more stable and mature sense. No wonder last month when Charmaine attended the opening of a new store and revealed that Benny and her will not have a chance to get back together.

During the time when the two are busy working, they kept their relationship low profile, they would only date at home. Reporters spotted Kevin going to see his girlfriend after filming "Burning Flames III", he gave up on going back to Sai Gung to have a meal and decided to settle in driving to Happy Valley for Japanese food. He brought carry out, then to the convienent store to get some drinks, looks like he plans to spend the evening with Charmaine. But when he was getting into the car, he realized that there are reporters, in order to get rid of the reporters, he speed 120km/hour towards Charmaine's home in North Point. Reporters spotted Charmaine has just returned to her home in her 7 seater van.

Yesterday reporters called Charmaine, but she revealed that she is in Hong Kong and then hurried and hung up the phone. As for Benny when he heard about Charmaine's new love: "I Don't know! You ask the witnesses." Asked if he denied saying that he would wait for Charmaine, he said in contrast: "No! There is a misunderstand in words."

Yesterday Reporters also tried to call and SMS Kevin, but there still has not been a reply from him. Last night, when he was filming in Kowloon City, his appearance seem to be secretive, after filming he quickly went into Myolie's car and left. Reporters has also sent him SMS asking about his rumors with Charmaine, but there has not been a response. Also, Niki Chow's company expresses that she is currently busy filming for "King of Billiards", she has not responded either.

Edison Chen yesterday made a surprise appearance, after keeping a low profile in the U.S for some time. He looked very relaxed while watching a fashion show in New York. Last month, photos of him hand-in-hand with his girlfriend, Vincy Yeung while shopping together, and online, there were photos posted of him hugging a girl at a party. It seems obvious that he has resumed his play-boy life.

It has been 227 days since the sex scandal. In February, after holding a press conference in Hong Kong about this matter, he immediately left for America. Yesterday morning, he finally made a public appearance in New York; watching a MARC JACOBS fashion show with a friend. Facing the Hong Kong media, he looked very composed and friendly, and even allowed them to take photos of him. However, when reporters asked him questions, he did not reply, but only smiled.

He was still wearing he and his girlfriend’s Cartier Love couple bracelet. At the end of last month, he and Vincy were seen in New York shopping, hand-in-hand. They even picked some ornaments together; their relationship seems to be very stable.

Recently, someone posted a photo online, of him at a party in July. In the photo, his face is not only bright red from all the drinking, but he was with a very sexy hot girl. It seems obvious that he has resumed his play-boy ways, enjoying his life to the full.

Erica Yuen appeared at an ATV programme event press conference yesterday. She stated that her contract with TVB had ended in August. Erica who is currently trying to get as much exposure as she can was asked about Tracey Ip who was recently reported being frozen by TVB.

Erica who started out in the industry with Tracey Ip competing in Miss Hong Kong 2005, was asked if she felt better when she heard about Tracey reported being frozen? "Don't be so black hearted, however in the past when I wrote about TVB's gossip in my blog, I wasn't allowed to continue. Tracey had dishing out a year of news reports and even made the Olympics affected by her gossip. Why wouldn't she be punished?"

(Are you sure she had been creating her own news?) "Come on, although I don't know Anna Yau Hoi Man well, I felt bad for her as she was being framed. Tracey buying a mansion is reasonable, but how can she afford to pay the mortgage for a 2 floor mansion with TVB wages? What if she cannot earn from stocks? Actually if she is that good at investing then she should really replace Joseph Yam (Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority). (There were reports that she had been closely seeing a Mainland Businessman?) "I don't know about that."

I am just surprised to see so many reporters. I didn't expect that. I need to go to the studio now, I can't be late."

Kathy, Niki's sister said earlier about the media reportings as nonsense. She also said that she does not know about her sister's love life. Kathy revealed "They were doing the series together. It was arranged by TVB. This also happens because Kevin hasn't got a girlfriend. Niki and Kevin always act as lovers in TV series. This is none of my business." It was reported in one incident that after Kevin had finished the New Series of "Burning flame 3", he left in Myolie's car straight away because he did not want to face the reporters. Myolie said she did not know what was happening.

Hong Kong-based actress Karena Lam acts opposite 12 men in Fit Lover (Aiqing Zuodeng Youxing), a comedy which started shooting this week.

The film follows Lam's search for Mr Right, during which she meets 12 men of different astrological signs and characteristics. Noted actor Huang Lei, Lu Yi and budding star Zhang Junning are among the 12 candidates for Lam's final choice. Popular comedian Huang Bo plays an angel who helps Lam to make the right decision.

The award-winning Lam has previously teamed up with many A-list actors like Eric Tsang and the late Leslie Cheung. But it is still a refreshing to watch her play opposite so many actors in one picture. The 30-year-old has been widely considered a talented actress since her film debut in 2002, which won her two best new performer awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards and Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards.

The film will wrap in October and hit the profitable winter theater season.

Sammul Chan appeared with gold hair yesterday while attending the Roadshow for an interview. He stated that recently he had finished filming TV series "Tiger Wong Snatches The Bride" and "The Academy 3". He immediately went to dye his hair blond to relieve himself. New TV series "The Four" will shortly be airing and he will be busy promoting the series. At the end of September he will be travelling to Iceland to film an environmental documentary. From what he knows Bernice Liu will also be taking part.

This time he will be filming there for 3 weeks. He heard from his friends that had been there that it was very cold. Fortunately he has always feared the hot weather and is not afraid of being in the cold. He is more worried of being sick when travelling on the icebreaker ship. He may also need to go hiking. Asked him what he would take with him? He expressed that he had been to Hengdian for a few years to film a TV series and knows what to take with him on trips. He would take heating pads with him. But, this time this destination seems to be the furthest, most expensive and most cold. This time he will be going alone as his management and assistant will not be travelling with him due to the expensive costs.

Earlier there were rumors saying that TVB tried to boost up Raymond Lam's screen time (Moonlight Resonance) so he could get a better chance in winning TV King. Bosco Wong who is in the same series as him expressed earlier this month that he supports Ha Yu, but yesterday in an interview he changed his words, where he mentions that this year's TV King will go to Raymond, hinting that he won't be able to compete.

At the end of the year the report card comes out, hope each year I could make a breakthrough."

No Jealousy happening between Bosco and Raymond

Last month, Bosco once expressed that he supports Ha Yu for TV King, but yesterday during an interview he suddenly changed his mind and said he supports Raymond: "It's going to be Raymond's la!" As his handsome doctor Ling Ji Sun role in "Moonlight" has limits in expanding his character, there were critisims by netizens saying that Bosco's acting is bad and his flowerly personality is too mushy, also said that he has a bad character for stepping on 2 boats (having 2 girlfriends), towards this Bosco said: "If my character was single, then that would be better." During the interview, Bosco's appearance says that he wants the Award, but he knows deep down that his chances are not big: "I want the award too, but will need to look at the timing and many other factors." (Jealous of Raymond?) "If he becomes TV King, I will not be jealous, we are great friends! I will be happy for him." He also smiles and said that because of fighting for the award, it hurts the relationship: "We aren't going the same route, I am on the comedy route!"

Also, recently Bosco steps foot on the film industry for the first time, participating in the movie 《大四喜》, although the box office sales are not that great, but he still maintained a positive mood, he is not worried about if the sales will be high: "Fat Gor started out like that too! Actually the film only released in China and Malaysia, so the problem is not big." He also expressed that he wants to try sing and become a singer.
