Elanne Kong is reported being the third party and ruining her boss Lam Siu Ming and his wife's marriage. Although Elanne has denied the reports many times, she was seen crying while doing a magazine interview earlier. Yesterday she once again made it clear that she was not the third party and couldn't stop crying.

Afterwards Elanne attended a public event and was asked about the matters. She started to cry again and denied the reports. She stressed that she had never done anything to harm Mrs Lam. If she could clear her name she certainly doesn't mind confronting Mrs Lam face to face and also doesn't mind cancelling her contract to prove her innocence.

Will confront Mrs Lam face to face to clear her name

When Elanne heard the reporter asking about her meeting up with Mrs Lam earlier, her eyes appeared very red. She admitted that she had seen Mrs Lam in the company. During that time they never argued. But Mrs Lam appeared very upset. Elanne expressed that she explained to her that she was innocent and it was a misunderstanding. (Was it the third party misunderstanding?) "I have responded many times, I am not the third party, from the first day of the reports till now, I have never ever done anything bad to her. She said she didn't care as many people have told her things. I don't know why the reports started off saying there were financial problems and now turning out like this." (How did Mrs Lam react?) "I was just talking about my own personal feelings to her". (Will you confront her face to face?) "The matters have got to this stage, if this is the way to clear my name I will not be afraid. I have done nothing wrong, that day I cried and she scolded me but did not use the words (Wu lei Jing - Third Party)".

Elanne also claimed that someone scolded her in the street calling her "Wu lei Jing, stealing people's husbands". This had made her have thoughts about leaving the entertainment circle to prove her innocence. She said "I have to get married in the future, this incident has caused alot of problems for me and my family". Mrs Lam also claimed that Elanne knew all along what was going on, asked if Elanne knew what she was talking about? "I don't know, I really haven't done anything". (Mr Lam is going to sue the magazine company?) "I have heard about that but I don't know much about the Management matters. I do not have Mr Lam's phone number and have never met up with him alone".

Asked whether Elanne would cancel her contract earlier so she doesn't have to be involved in the incident? Elanne had tears pouring out and said "I really like this job". (Mrs Lam has said you are just dreaming to be a star) "I respect my work". (Will you cancel your contract earlier?) "If it gets to that stage and it can prove my innocence I won't mind. I currently have a 10 year contract with my company".

Kenix Kwok and Frankie Lam have been married for 4 years. There were rumors that their marriage was on the rocks. Recently it was reported that Kenix went to Hengdian, HangZhou to split up with Frankie.

Kenix attended the promotional event for a skincare brand yesterday. She wasn't affected by the rumor. In fact, she was showing off her engagement diamond ring from Frankie. During one of the promotional activities, she had to take the ring off but she put it back on afterwards.

Kenix just came back from Hangzhou the other day and was asked if she saw Frankie in Hengdian. She stated that Frankie was in Hengdian a month ago, but she didn't see him. He is now working in Beijing and Shanghai. Kenix felt odd in regards to the rumors about her marital problems. She didn't take any notice of the media and she had no intention of clearing the rumor.

Kenix disclosed that she had a discussion with Frankie in Tongwan during Mid-autumn festival about going somewhere together next month. Asked if they are trying to make baby? Kenix said they are not in a hurry, a lot of female artists wait till they are in their 40s (Kenix is 39) to start a family. She can wait for another 2-3 years.

Louis Koo complains that the Hong Kong government does not cooperate and was unwilling to allow the “Connected” crew film a flying car scene in a busy city district, forcing them to shift filming to the outskirts. The end result was just as good, he says proudly, “We want to let the Hong Kong government see, we could do a good job even though they refused to let us film.”

“Connected” opens in Malaysia on Thursday (25th September), the leads Louis Koo and Barbie Hsu, together with director Benny Chan met with the Malaysian media on Wednesday (24th September), as part of their 10-day whirlwind promotion tour of Asia. Unfortunately, due to a lack of time, the film company was unable to lease a suitable shopping plaza thus there was no premiere or fans meeting session.

Louis Koo had previously worked with Benny Chan in “Rob-B-Hood”, working together this time has increased their chemistry, even in the flying car scene in the movie, Louis had full confidence in the director, he admitted that suffered from some external injuries but it was more important to achieve the desired results. In his speech, he expressed dissatisfaction in the rejection by the Hong Kong government to grain them a permit to film a flying car scene in a busy city district, thus they could only shift filming to the outskirts, luckily the result was just as good, proving that they could do the same without the government’s help. Benny Chan nodded with a smiling, seemingly agreeing with Louis’ view.

There are rumors that Barbie Hsu had brought along 6 luggages of clothes and shoes for this Asian promotion tour. For this press conference she wore a black chiffon dress, and says she had no idea of Malaysia’s weather, and chose this dress after much deliberation. Unexpectedly, Louis Koo remarks, “In Hong Kong, only those going to wedding dinners would wear this!”

Benny Chan: Remakes are harder than the original

“Connected” is a remake of the Hollywood movie “Cellular”, and to exceed the original, director Benny Chan, invested 45million HK dollars on production costs, he says, “It is more strenuous to remake a Western film than an original movie. Because adaptation is very difficult and subconsciously I wanted it to be better than the original, so tried to do the best in every respect possible.”

Louis Koo and Barbie Hsu has only one scene together in the end of the film, lasting for a few minutes, the two of them replied on the telephone to communicate. The director first filmed Barbie’s scenes before filming Louis’ portion. Louis laughs, “Every time before I start, I will watch Barbie’s performance. Several times, the director played Barbie’s role to get me into my role, but I could not image how to act, because the director is a man!”

Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung may have suffered a miscarriage.

The controversial actress has been a devoted wife and mother since the birth of her first son - Lucas. She was also rumoured to be pregnant when the sex photos scandal surrounding Edison Chen broke out, but the rumours were not confirmed.

Throughout the scandal, her husband Nicholas Tse has stood by her and they have been actively working on preserving their relationship and family. They were also very eager to have a second child.

According to Shin Min Daily News, Cecilia's sister-in-law revealed that Nicholas wanted a daughter. His father, Hong Kong actor Patrick Tse, also expressed that he wanted four grandchildren. Cecilia has stopped working to focus on her family commitments.

But Hong Kong tabloid, Oriental Sunday, reported that Cecilia's second pregnancy has ended even before it is officially announced.

The Weekly reported that Cecilia, husband Nicholas and their families were delighted when she learnt of her pregnancy at the beginning of September.

They spent close to HK$100 million ($18.2m) on a new Ocean Bay residence in preparation for the new addition to their family. The move signified a new beginning, and was also an attempt to put the Edison Chen nude photo scandal behind them.

However, a close friend of Cecilia's revealed that the baby's heart had stopped suddenly, forcing Cecilia to seek an abortion.

Cecilia was reportedly admitted to hospital last week, in the company of her sister. Her gynaecologist, who delivered her firstborn, Dr Liang Su De, performed the operation.

Cecilia also had a skin allergy in her first trimester, but she did not realise that it was a warning sign that all was not well with her pregnancy. She was spotted visiting a well-known dermatologist on Sep 10 with obvious rashes on her cheeks. When reporters asked her if she was pregnant, she did not respond.

She only realised that the rashes were caused by imbalances in her hormonal and immune system when she went for a check up with her gynaecologist.

The couple's families were shocked and severely disappointed at the news.

NOTE: There is a possibility that this is all just a rumor and not the truth.

Ella told reporters that she had escaped from the recent stock market crush because she did not invest in it. But her mother was one of the victims. "I only know using my hard earned cash to buy clothes. My house is full of them. I am working hard to save up for a property so that I can collect rent."

The rumors about Niki and Kevin's split has been around for a while and the gossips are still circling in the entertainment world. There has been reports that the almighty Miss Lok (Virginia Lok) from TVB is putting pressure on Niki to keep her mouth shut about the rumors. She wanted Kevin to have a positive image. A magazine reported Miss Lok made it difficult for Niki on purpose. When Niki and her assistant arrived at TVB one day, her assistant was not allowed in. The security said her assistant did not apply for a pass beforehand, therefore she could not enter the building; Niki was in tears. The dispute was ended when Stephen Chan, the general manager was called in.

Yesterday BMA Record general manager Thomas Ng told reporters "I had contacted Miss Lok by phone and she had assured me that it was only a misunderstanding. The reports have been exaggerated a little bit." Reporters asked what he thought about Niki looking tired and unhappy, Thomas replied "Niki is concentrating on her work. I haven't asked her about her business with Kevin, therefore I don't know the answer. They are both adults, they should know how to deal with it."

Reporters caught up with Miss Lok yesterday and asked if it was true that she purposely made an order to prohibit Niki's assistant from entering TVB. Miss Lok replied "That is security's business. If I have to manage the security as well, I would be very busy indeed."

In recent days, Joey has been extremely busy. After releasing an album, which she had no time to promote, she had to travel to Switzerland to film a music documentary. After arriving back in Hong Kong, she will stay a few days before travelling to North America to continue her World tour. During her few days in Hong Kong, she had used some of the time to shoot the music video for her second plug ‘Sleeping With The Butterflies’, so Joey has been really busy.

Joey’s new MV was filmed at Tung Lung Island (東龍島) which is a really remote location. Even though the song is about a male character who had passed away, Joey was being mischievous just before filming started. Whilst wearing a black evening gown, she was jumping and running around the edge of a cliff. She then tricked the workers by pretending to loose her footing which gave the workers a fright. As Joey was laughing, the workers said to Joey: “Don’t joke around! It’s dangerous!”. Joey then said “Aiya, I know I’m wrong la!”. Even though the work schedule was busy and she had to film near a cliff in temperatures over 30 degrees, but Joey still acted professionally and gave her full concentration during filming.

TVB and Korea's CMB collaborated in opening TVB's Korea Channel and held the "TVB-CMB Alliance New Long Journey" press conference in TVB City yesterday. TVB arranged many artistes to attend the event. Including recent rumored couple Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh,"Past love" rumored boyfriends Ron Ng and Joe Ma also appeared. Charmaine and Ron who are used to be big events were very cooperative. But as for Kevin Cheng and Joe Ma, one appeared with a black face and the other avoided the situation.

Kevin Cheng appeared with a black face, Joe Ma went backstage to avoid

Yesterday many guests attended, as well as TVB and Korea's CMB executives, TVB artistes such as Moses Chan, Tavia Yeung, Joe Ma, Kevin Cheng, Ron Ng and Bosco Wong etc all attended. But the spotlight was on Charmaine and her 3 rumored boyfriends. Charmaine was talking and laughing with Joe Ma, but didn't talk to Kevin or Ron. Moses was inbetween Charmaine and Kevin as she was arranged to sit next to Moses. When the reporters were taking pictures, Moses felt awkward with the atmosphere and walked away, so that the rumored couple could take pictures together. Charmaine's face appeared a little red. The reporters then requested Charmaine to take pictures with all 3 of her rumored boyfriends. Ron was very cooperative, but Kevin appeared to have a black face and pretended he didn't hear the request. Joe Ma quickly went back stage to avoid the situation. In the end TVB executive Virginia Lok asked Kevin to take pictures but after 2 seconds, other artistes managers asked their artistes to take pictures together. Moses who appeared awkward went behind Charmaine and said "Lets all take a picture together".

Afterwards, the reporter asked if Charmaine felt very awkward? She said "All of you nearly pushed me off the stage, if I was pushed off the stage then that would be awkward". The reporter then stated that her new love and past loves were all present. "I have been working very hard for 10 years, finally I can appear on Korea's TV Channel." She stated that she met the Korean representatives yesterday with Virginia Lok and Kevin was also present. As for her relationship with Kevin, she said "He is a good colleague and friend." (What about Ron Ng?) "Also a colleague and friend". (Did you feel awkward with 3 of your rumored boyfriends at the same place?) She said that if she was rumored with everyone and feeling awkward with each person, it will be alot of trouble for her." (Asked if she had a chance to develop a relationship with Kevin?) "I don't want to talk about this." (Does Kevin meet your requirements?) "He is a good guy". (Is he pursuing you?) "I don't think so".

Ron Ng: We are all colleagues

Kevin also said he didn't feel awkward because they are his colleagues. The reporter said he forced his smile, he replied "You have not seen me enough, I always smile like that". He also said that he didn't mind taking pictures together. He also claimed that they will have plenty of opportunities to take pictures together as the TVB anniversary will be coming up. He immediately said that his home was flooded yesterday and so was his car. Fortunately villagers helped him push his car. As for claims stating Charmaine was in the car at the time, he replied "I will not respond to the rumors". (Then that was not the case?) "I am not responding to the rumors." As for seeing Ron and Joe yesterday, but reported having a black face. Kevin said "They are my colleagues".

Joe Ma denied going back stage to avoid taking pictures and claimed he didn't hear the requests. He also said he was standing on the stage all the time. He said "Charmaine and my rumors are Outdated news". Ron also expressed that he didn't feel akward. All of them are his colleagues and he will often bump into them. Recently Ron had new rumors with a previous Miss Hong Kong finalist Giann Wong, he said "They reported her appearing in my estate, Joe Ma uses the same cell phone model as me, so does that mean we are gay?". He said the most ridiculous part was the reporters claimed the rumors started while she was filming "The Four". But Giann Wong is not even in "The Four".

There were also reports stating Virginia Lok suspicious of Niki Chow exposing things to the media and also because she is very fond of Kevin. It stated Niki's assistant was blocked from entering TVB City. Virginia claimed she did not block anyone, but the company has rules and they must apply for a pass in order to enter the studios. That is a normal procedure and it's nothing to do with her, as it's managed by the security.

After being linked to Ron Ng earlier, Charmaine Sheh was accused being the 3rd party in Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow's 5 years relationship. Coincidentally, Niki who was troubled by the rumors appeared 'depressed' in front of others. The leading actress Charmaine's mood is quite good today and she formally responds to the rumors. She said that she would not mind taking pictures with Kevin when they meet. This is a big contrast with Niki and it seems like the reason behind the rumors is slowly being revealed.

Charmaine attended the costume fitting for new TVB series [Enterprise Doctor] yesterday. She looked refreshed and indicates that she is in good mood as she has just spent 3 months of holiday. Her mum also returned from Hawaii to accompany her and in addition of that, she got another kitten into her household. She is not affected by the rumors. "I'm concentrating in my career now. I need to concentrate and prepare myself working the witty Dayo Wong."

Deny buying neck scarf, will not be embarrassed when meeting

Being labelled as [Flirty Sheh] due to the rumours, Charmaine's reaction is quite big: "What? Just call me Ah Sheh please!" Asked if Kevin has called her to vent his frustrations, she replied: "How come he's complaining to me? I don't know about the story development, I've only read the first news report (in order to respond), the rest I didn't follow up." She revealed that she will be attending an event with Kevin and Ron today. She is not worried of any embarrassment when they meet and she won't decline taking pictures together. "It's important for artistes to take pictures, you will have to worry of no one takes pictures of you."

Doesn't know if Ron is pursuing Wong Ying

Recently there was a report saying that Charmaine and Kevin was seen kissing passionately at a bar. Charmaine replied: "That was made up (fake)." When asked if she have many people following her, she laughs and says: "I have many crazy friends instead, like Michael Tse who love to joke." Regarding the report of her buying neck scarf for Kevin, she explained: "I'm so mad! I don't know what happened! I didn't buy anything, I just walked past that shop. The funniest thing is that they said my sister drove my car, that is actually my mum."

Charmaine said that her mum is already used to these rumors therefore she never questioned Charmaine about it. "I'm enjoying my life as single at the moment. However my younger brother is ahead of me by getting married next year, making me feel a bit lament." There were rumors that Timmy Hung has proposed to Janet Chow during their holiday to Maldives. Charmaine felt that it was very romantic and joked that she will work harder. Does she want to change (get married)? "It's not something that you could just wish, it's a two way street." As for the news of her another rumored boyfriend Ron Ng chasing after the voluptuous MHK 2006 dropout Wong Ying, Charmaine frankly said that she has not seen the news, but she is still very supportive: "The area he stayed in has many buildings, you cannot simply accuse him. Plus there is no picture evidence. If he personally admits having a girlfriend, I will congratulate him."

Outsiders should not gossips." Mentioning the recent stock crisis, Dayo admit that he also have some investment and will endure the trying time with fellow HK citizens.

They were all very happy and jumped up in joy.

"Goon Ga Jai" Raymond Lam also hopes for an award, and that he has confidence. As for the rumors that Ha Yu has a bigger chance in winning over Raymond because he's TVB son, Raymond said: "I am also part of TVB."

Recently there has been reports saying that Michelle and Ha Yu signed for a new manager, that the two become TVB's biological son and daughter, giving them a higher chance in the awards. Ha Yu went back to Canada last night and was unable to attend. As for Raymond Lam who is competing with Ha Yu for TV King says that he has confidence this time around. He said that he has been in showbiz for 10 years and it has been hard for him to win an award because he has not had many characters that the audience liked. Because the series had such high ratings, the chances for award is even greater. Asked if he has wants to win this year? He said: "He wants, besides 10 year gold metal, he hopes to get audience's agreement (that he deserves it)." He also hopes that he can become the youngest TV King. But Ha Yu signed contract with TVB,do you feel its a threat? He said: " I am also a TVB person, each year there are competitions, each year I do have confidence for myself."

Michelle also says that she does not plan to get married in the next two years because she enjoys her lifestyle now. LSK said on the side that Michelle should hurry up and get married, because after married her status would be a "Mrs.", referring her as a female roommate does not sound that good.

Also recently there has been rumors that Bernice Liu has a matching couple rings, and it was said that Moses has the other matching ring. Yesterday Moses did not wear the ring anymore. Moses foolishly smiles and said that he does not remember and does not know what reporters are talking about. He said that every time he's not in HK there will be news about him.

Today’s topic: In Moonlight Resonance, Tavia acted as Ah Yuet, and has a nickname “Get” Girl, meaning she was gotten from outside (adopted). Tavia’s acting is very natural, earning praises from a lot of parties. Even Lee Sze Kei and Moses Chan think that she has chance of getting TV Queen by this character. Tavia Yeung has also been invited to become the spokesperson of a lot of company. It has been said that her “Get” Girl character has made her “get” side income worth almost a million.

Tavia Yeung laughingly said: “It has not yet reached one million. I hope I will able to earn it soon.” “How will you use this 1 million?” “I want to change my car, or buy an larger apartment so my mother can live more comfortably.” Not long before, there was rumour that Tavia Yeung had gotten a plastic surgery, and because she was stressful, she mopped the floor for two hours non-stop. Tavia said: “I did not have any plastic surgery. But If I was rumoured so, I would rather be rumoured to have a plastic surgery rather than rumoured to be at odds with others or date others, because plastic surgery rumour will not affect others and no means no.”

Tavia Yeung has a very good relationship with people. A lot of male artistes click with her. She said: “For female, I am close friend with Christine Ng and Claire Yiu. We can kiss each other on the mouth. For male, I also very good friends with Moses Chan, Bosco Wong, Raymond Lam, and Ron Ng, etc, but we will not kiss on the mouth.” “You did not have rumours with them?” I said. “We do not avoid. They will often drive me home after work, I will just sit.” “If there has to be a rumour, who would you choose to be rumoured with?” “Ron Ng, we have been rumoured for so many years but it’s never a hot topic. It doesn’t matter if it’s rumoured again,” she said.

As for mopping the floor herself, Tavia Yeung said: “Not only do I like to mop floors, I like to clean the toilet too. Am I considered as having potential to be a good wife?”

One hour is a short time but within this hour, I can feel the “tomboy” character of Tavia Yeung. It’s no wonder that males or females can happily collaborate with her.

The drama series , which was going to have its last episode aired on Sunday, has increased ratings every week. Moreover, its casts were viewed as the hot contenders for this year TV King and TV Queen, such as Lee Sze Kei, Lee Heung Kam, Michelle Yim and Ha Yu from the veteran level, whose acting skills have early received recognition. Tavia Yeung from the fa-dan level also stood out in the drama and was pointed by the netizens as a hot contender for winning the TV Queen status.

The influence of has also brought Tavia Yeung a lot of opportunities of earning income from side jobs, such as advertisements and stage performances. As a result, she planned to change her car and apartment. She said: “I have more jobs now, enabling me to change my car and apartment. But I will not be hasty. I will only buy when I find a suitable car and apartment. I will take the chance to earn more money before ’s heat subsided. Fortunately, I will start filming a new series in November. Now I have more time to earn income from side jobs.”

As for being pointed as the hot contender for TV Queen, she said: “It’s really unexpected. I have not thought about it before. Actually, I’m already very happy to receive audiences’ approval. Whether or not I get an award is not important. Moreover, I think it’s not yet time for me to get an award.”

It Has to Do with Character

Tavia Yeung believed that receiving approvals for her acting skill is more important than receiving an award. She said: “Every artiste will put in hard work and will be discovered by people one day. I think the audiences know that I have always put in hard work but only lacking a role that has potential to show off. Ah Yuet’s character finally enables me to stand out and receiving approvals from the outside world. It can be seen that timing is important. Actually the character Ah Yuet makes my confidence goes up. Perhaps it can be said as an injection to strengthen the heart. Perhaps my personality is more down-to-earth. I feel that receiving audiences’ approvals on my acting skill is already enough. I will only see award as a bonus. I will face it with a calm heart.”

Each cast has prepared well when filming , reading and memorising the script well, because we all hope that will win over . Tavia Yeung said: “During the filming of , the communication between the casts is not a problem. Therefore, there was no pressure. In contrast, because filming needs to be quick for rushing the series for airing and the long lines in the script that makes it a bit hard to bear. However, our hard work is not wasted. I feel that every artiste is a main leading artiste. We can’t lose any of them. There is no unnecessary character in the series. It’s a team, everyone has his/her own value for being there.”

To Tavia, has brought her both increases in income and fame. Foreseeably, 2008 is a year full of income for her. However, she has also experienced a loss, that is her health. She said: “There is less resting, therefore I need to go see Chinese Doctor for treatment. But this is the incidental burden of an artiste, so I don’t mind.”
