HK star won’t return to testify in sex photo case

Posted by Admin 0 comments
HONG KONG –– The Hong Kong actor at the center of a sex photos scandal involving female celebrities has refused to return to the city to testify in a trial linked to the saga, a report said Wednesday.

Edison Chen will not appear as a witness in the trial against a man who allegedly distributed photos across the Internet of Chen’s sex acts with a string of female starlets, according to the South China Morning Post.

The refusal of Chen to return from the United States has stalled the trial of computer technician Sze Ho-chun, as the prosecution said it would have to apply for a higher court’s permission to obtain evidence from the actor there.

Prosecutor Hayson Tse told a magistrates court that the permission would allow a Hong Kong judge to take evidence in the United States and assess the credibility of the Canadian-born star.

Tse said they had originally planned to deal with Chen’s evidence by way of his witness statements. But the proposal was rejected by defense lawyers for Sze.

Explicit photographs of Chen with the stars were plastered across the Internet for weeks in February this year, causing a storm in this celebrity-obsessed city.

Sze was arrested in his computer store and pleaded not guilty to one count of obtaining access to a computer with a view of making dishonest gain for himself or another. Chen’s management company said the actor had promised to try his best to assist the investigation of the case but not to return to testify in court, the report added.

Friday, October 10, 2008 Posted by Admin 0 comments
After the end of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Bird Nest Stadium will be undergoing revamping works and several entertainment companies hoped to stage concert for their artistes at the stadium, but to become the first singer to stage a concert at the Bird Nest is not easy because of the 80,000 seating capacity, daily rental of $4500,000, in addition to securities fees, it will be expensive, even X JAPAN is not considering their budget as they had submitted their application to be the first artist to perform in the Bird Nest Stadium in May or June 2009.

On experienced concert organizer whom was interviewed said: "Actually I feel that this venue is unsuitable for concert, because of the high budget! If we include the rental fee, singer's fees and production fee, it would be very high, how we can earn? Even Madonna or Michael Jackson would be hard, unless the rental fee is reduced!" Staging a concert in the Bird Nest has many restrictions, like the venue too big, after the concert the audience would need to walk for 30 minutes before catching a bus, it's too troublesome, the securities would be expensive, but X JAPAN would like to give it a try.

According to inside news, Mainland China would like to have a Chinese concert to be the first concert in Bird Nest Stadium, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung had been approached but they does not wish to stage their concert there. Jacky's manager express that his concert tour in Mainland China had ended in February this year, so not considering staging a concert in the Bird Nest in the next 2 years, thus rejected the Bird Nest offer.

Kevin had an interview at the Metro City yesterday. He disclosed that he lost a 7 figure sum in shares through the recent economy crises. "I bought the shares earlier on, but I was so busy that I was not paying attention to the market. I didn't hear from Dodo to sell them quickly. I have now changed the remaining shares into my mom's name. They would stay there for 10 years as my retirement funds."

Kevin originally planned to use those shares as an investment to buy properties. But now he has to start saving again. Asked if he would buy more shares since they are at a low price, he replied "I don't know if I would. I have to concentrate to earn more money now. To be honest, between shares and property, I would rather invest in property."

Kevin and Niki at Different Radio Stations for Interview

Thursday, October 09, 2008 Posted by Admin 0 comments
The news of Kevin Cheng and his two rumoured girlfriends Niki Chow and Charmaine Sheh stirred up many troubles, Niki was even alleged to be the person who leaked out news in hope to publicize herself. Yesterday, Kevin finally stood up for Niki, saying that he trust that Niki would never do something like this, and that he had called her to ask after her. He said that all three of them involved in the "love triangle" were hurt by this news and that there was no winner in this istuation. He even said that he's scared and would consider choosing someone outside of the entertainment circle as his girlfriend. On the contrary, Niki was reluctant to talk about Kevin and even said that she would like to find a loyal boyfriend in future.

Less trouble choosing someone outside the entertainment circle

Yesterday, Kevin Cheng was interviewed by DJ Cha Siu Yan, he said that he had been troubled by the recent spates of paparazzi attention on him. He said that he felt resigned to their reports-- if he were to smile, they would write that he's happy, if he does not smile, they would say that he has "black face". He believed that Niki, being involved as well, was faced with similar situations, hence he called her to ask after her. Asked if he felt that someone was using this rumour as a publicity stunt, he said many people had pointed fingers at Niki, but he believed that it would never be her, from his experience knowing her for so many years. He felt that everyone involved in this news had been hurt and that there was no winner from this news. But from this experience he felt that choosing a girlfriend outside of the entertainment circle would be less troublesome. He also reinforced hat he has never two-timed before.

Niki wants to choose a loyal good guy

Yesterday afternoon during an interview Niki said that other than work in HK, she will be working assignments in Mainland China as well. But she denied that working in China was because she wanted to leave this sad place, in fact she questioned: why was there to be sad about? I'm always working hard. Asked if she knew that Kevin was supportive of her and that whether she received a call from him? She said, why talk about him again? I won't reply. Pressed by the reporters on whether she received Kevin's call, she was elusive in her answer and replied: Many people called me during this period of time, I'm not running away from anything, but I was busy filming, so I didn't reply to calls. (So you didn't pick up Kevin's call?) No, not that I ignored everybody's calls. As if in future she would want her other half to be loyal? She said, all girls would want their boyfriends to be loyal. Does it mean that she had a previous experience with someone not loyal? She said, I didn't say anything, I would not reply to private matters. She said that she had not been watching Kevin's LOS, asked if it was because she didn't want to watch (canto: mou gan tai- directly translated to be "no eyes to watch"), she laughed and said, choi! my eyes are still around! It's just that I don't have time to watch television shows.

Charmaine Sheh confesses that she attracts tou fa

Charmaine Sheh was also interviewed by Cha Siu Yan yesterday and she said that she had always attracted "tou fa", since her studying days she has had guys waiting for her to get off class. Asked if she had been watching Ron Ng's "Young Detectives" and Kevin's LOS, she said no, because she felt pretty tired after watching MR previously. She also said this year she had been pretty prosperous, and that her taxes would probably meet 7 figures.

Gallen Lo and Anita Yuen to Film Rape Scene - Too Bold for TV?

Posted by Admin 0 comments
The tentative title for TVB upcoming 40-episode grand production is now changed to 金钱诱罪 (The Crime-Inducing Effect of Money, lit.). Filming is to begin mid November.

Gallen Lo Ka Leung was seen at TVB City earlier, working on the drama’s sale presentation clip. While Gallen was absolutely tight-lipped about his character, producer Chong Wai Kin excitedly talked about the cast and how they had successfully convinced veterans such as Ray Lui Leung Wai and Jamie Chik Mei Chun to “descend the mountain”. He was also quite excited about a rape scene that involves Gallen Lo and Anita Yuen. The two stars did not oppose the idea. “It may sound a little too daring,” said Chong, “but it will certainly be kept within television limit.”

“Leng Leng” Anita Yuen earlier in “Love Exchange” exchanged not even a kiss with “boyfriend” Miu Kiu Wai. For her to now willing to sacrifice all the way, the charm of the newly divorced man must be quite irresistible. Being phone interviewed by reporter yesterday (Oct 5th), husband Julian Cheung Chi Lam said about his wife filming a rape scene as “very exciting!” “For this kind of drama, if you don’t stir things up, it will not be attractive!”

Gallen said he won’t be worried about the scene affecting his image. He believes the scene will be arranged reasonably. Smilingly, Gallen added that “(Since) Leng Leng is willing, I’ll be very much looking forward to it! The script is one thing, but I suppose it isn’t just simply a rape scene, but human nature which exhibits true color in time of conflict.”

Jessica will not taking part in the TVB Calendar shooting

Posted by Admin 0 comments
As latest Jessica's message to replying her fans, she said :" Sorry to let you know that this year will be my first time not taking part in the calendar shooting. Reason is because my contract with TVB will be expiring in January and I haven't had time to discuss with them about renewing my contract. They have asked me 4 times already, but I wanted to wait till I finish shooting. The past 4 months have been too tiring. Would rather concentrate on shooting. Therefore their decision is normal. A very common case. I was not invited to the TVB Anniversary Lighting Ceremony for the same reason. This is TVB.

Hope I haven't disappointed you all.

luv,
Jessica"

Nancy Wu Angrily: "Stop Dragging me into News I have nothing to do with"

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Since Deep Ng ditched Nancy Wu for model Jacqueline Chong, rumors of jealousy has been going one after another. Yesterday Jacqueline Chong admitted that she was insulted in TV City "You're just my old shoes, Bitch! (Bat Por)" Nancy did not dare to attack back, someone wants to get on the news. And this triggered the two for a war of words. Jacqueline recently got a sky bridge person for her to step into the entertainment circle, she will be hosting for two TVB shows. Rumors state that yesterday just outside of TV City Jacqueline, Deep Ng and Deep's ex-girlfriend Nancy Wu came face to face. During the time, Jacqueline was accused by someone: "You're just my old shoes, Bitch!" afterwards, she left in tears. The target seems to be towards Nancy.

Deep has it hard both left and right

Within the rumors, Deep is stuck in the middle and has it hard both left and right, he sigh and said: "Me being stuck in the middle is quite awkward." Girlfriend being accused, Deep of course supports her all the way. But Deep was questioned about what he experienced, Deep said: "Just everyone do their own part, I am not comfortable to be saying too much."

Jacqueline's clarification, at first she hestitated, but later she finally admitted that she did get accused: "I don't want to talk about it, afterwards did not talk about it with my company or Deep, leave it alone! (Deep said he'll support you!) Him supporting me of course I'm very happy, this problem has made me unhappy and stressed. (You and Nancy had many rumors, if you see Nancy in TV City, what would you do?) Turn the other way! (Will you change the TVB work schedule?) That I won't do, we are adults, will know what is work and what is personal!"

Yesterday Nancy was filming for "Wives & Concubines" outdoor scenes in TV city, reporters were asking her about Jacqueline being accused, she and her manager discussed it and then replied: "This is the second time! Last time the rape threat, didn't have anything to do with me and dragged me into it too. This time I can't hold it anymore, I don't know what they want? I'm not afraid, things that did not happen there will not not be any witnesses."

Making News, Go Find someone else

The more Nancy spoke the more frustrated she was: "How am I suppose to know why she was crying? I haven't contacted Deep for a very long time, nor will I contact him. Maybe this year I don't want to bother too many people, I don't want to care, I don't want to see "this person", he is not my problem." Nancy was used to make news: "I am just a TV artist, no value for news, sorry, if want to make news go find someone else!"

Wong Hei has a fear of heights

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Wong Hei was filming the TVB up coming series "Burning Flame III" the other night. There was a scene where he had to be at the edge of a 15th floor roof top. It was a very dangerous scene and it took 5 hours to shoot. Wong Hei suffers acrophobia (fear of heights). When he came down after they finished filming, he was sweating and his legs were shaking. Good job he had a visitor at that time. Kawaii (rumored girlfriend) turned up and gave him some sedatives (herself). He was feeling much better after seeing her and was able to smile again.

The roof top scene isn't finished yet due to the safety issues so they still have to finish filming so good luck to Wong Hei!

Kevin recently mentioned Charmaine in his interview; it seems that he is finding ways to make their relationship acceptable. On the other hand TVB is taking the opportunity to arrange them to film a new series, hoping to create a new pair of on-screen lovers.

Though the rumors between Kevin and Charmaine have circulated nearly a month, both of them avoided discussing regarding this issue. It was until last month when scale 8 tropical storm exposed their relationship, making their relationship a hot topic. Yesterday Kevin and Charmaine accepted Cha Siu Yan interview separately. In his interview Kevin mentioned that he wanted to start a family, which coincidentally matched Charmaine's wish earlier. Kevin said: "We are not young anymore! My relationship with Charmaine is colleague and friend. It's because I don't know how to handle (the rumors), I don't talk too much because I do not want to hurt other people!" Regarding the accusation that Niki Chow is using the rumors for self-publicity, Kevin fully supported her: "I knew her for a long time, I know she is not this kind of person."

As for Charmaine, she revealed in her interview that she have just returned to Hong Kong from Hawaii holiday break. Mentioning the Best Actor award, she avoids mentioning Kevin and rooted for Roger Kwok, Ha Yu and Moses Chan. She also indicate that she has not watched the new series of her rumored boyfriends Kevin and Ron Ng. Discussing on her love luck, she revealed that she have plenty of admirers since young age.

Hong Kong version of Jewel in the Palace

On the other hand, TVB sees that both of them attracted attention and decided to take advantage to cast them in next year's (February) 30 episode grand production series 《劉三好》(Lau Sam Ho – tentative title). The backdrop of the series is based on the palace servants (Seung Gong) during Tang Dynasty, revolving around the rivalry of the four wardrobe department for the Empress. The synopsis mirrored Korean hit series Jewel in the Palace. Charmaine will be casted as the leading character Lau Sam Ho. TVB have also arranged for Susanna Kwan, Michelle Yim, Tavia Yeung and Moses Chan from [Moonlight Resonance] to join the series, what a stellar production indeed. Executive Producer Mui Siu Ching admitted that she is busy designing the wardrobe for the series.

Having confidence in their collaboration

Reporters contacted Kevin and Charmaine to ask regarding the series and both of them indicate that they do not mind collaborating. When Kevin heard of the cast, he praised them as great. When asked if he will feel embarrassed working together with Charmaine: "Of course not! We will eventually have opportunity work together as we are from the same company. However, I have not received the script or my role." Kevin also expressed that he doesn't mind having sharing scenes with Charmaine and feel confident of the new series.

When Charmaine found out that she will be working with Kevin, she indicate that she will put her best effort in the series: "It's just work! I will try my best to follow company's arrangement." She also expressed hopes for the series, hoping for the series to break [JITP] record. Mentioning of the upcoming series strong cast, she is not afraid being compared to: "It's great that I can satisfy my acting cravings." As for Tavia and Selena Li, they also anticipate the series as they are happy being able to work with veterans like Susanna and Michelle.

Additional translation from Oriental Daily:

When reporters mentioned that the new series mirrored JITP, Charmaine said: "This series is about wardrobe, not food."

Mui Siu Ching will be producing new TVB series [Lau Sam Ho]. The story is about the rivalry between 'Seung Gong' during Tang Dynasty. Seung Gong department task is to provide gold pins, wardrobes and jeweleries for the Empress. The characters each have their own technique to survive in Seung Gong. Though [LSH] will only start filming next year, TVB is already sourcing wardrobe, headgear and jewelleries to ensure a luxurious palace effect.

She laughed and said this is then the real her: "Usually during filming of dramas, I am responsbile of acting as other people. The biggest difference between filming dramas and singing is I have to be myself when I sing!" Myolie who is rock to the max, had to climb to the highest point, and in the midst, she had to face the mic stand and spray the champagne crazily. Although there were sponsors from wine companies, but solely for the champagne itself, it already cost 10,000, seriously heroism.

After that, Myolie changed into a tube top and went into the water. Because it was already at night, and the pool was outdoor, the wind was blowing over the pool. Luckily when Myolie went into the pool, she said: "It is not very cold." With the lightings by the pool and Myolie looking even more fresh, the results were extremely good. After she got out of the water, the crew immediately gave her towel because they were afraid that she will catch a cold. But Myolie who was anxious about the results of the filming, after getting out of the water, she immediately went to watch the play back. As the MV was put together and worked on by Aaron Kwok's team, after seeing the play back, Myolie couldn't control but praised that the results was perfect: "This time, the most memorable thing is the filming for the MV was done so beautifully and spraying of such expensive wine!"

With regards to her first time being a singer and filming an MV, she expressed that she wants to do even better, giving people a "singer" kind of feel. She also expressed that there were many crews this time round and she is very touched and appreciative of all their care for her. As for facing the various competitors, she said: "In TVB, there are a lot of people who can sing, definitely will have competition, but no need to be afraid, most importantly is must have chance." This time, the MV was sponsored by a wine company and he will also be sponsoring her upcoming concert in Macau in December. In addition, her record company will also be investing over a 7 figure amount, and around the end of November, they will be doing a series of promotions and marketing for her new cd.

Myolie who has recently entered the music industry, is in Macau filming her MV for her new song "Solo Travelling". Myolie went up the sky, touch the ground, wet herself, did very well. She has also changed to a Rock Girl image and is moving away from the shadow of her 囧樣 (nickname given to her) image.

This year, Myolie doesn't have a chance to win the Best actress award, in order to maintain her relations with people, she is competing in the newscomer award for the music industry. A few days ago, Myolie's MV filming in Macau, is sponsored a six figure amount by people in the wine business. Besides having Aaron Kwok's team of stage/performance team, there were also 20 other crews involved, no wonder Myolie is shocked by the unexpected favour.

Five Star Hotel Filming

After arriving at 10am in Macau, Myolie was arranged to do a filming in a five star hotel. Wearing a pair of black jeans, smoky eyes make up, she looked totally rocky. In order to protray a bold and generous kind of character, besides using an expensive microphone stand, Myolie doesn't mind climbing to the highest point on the rooftop. Although it was dangerous, she was still able to remain joyful and when watching Play back, she said in satisfactory: "Filmed until very nice! This is then the real me. When I'm acting, I'm responsible to act as another person. But when singing, I can be myself. The song is about a girl who loves to travel by herself whenever she faces relationship problems."

At night, Myolie changed into a tube top to film a "coming out of the water" scene. Because the director has very high expectations, Myolie had to repeatedly turn her waist, touch her hair and touch the water, staying in the pool for a full half an hour. When she was done with the filming and got out of the water, the crew immediately handed her a towel to keep her warm, but she doesn't feel that it is hard work: "Not very cold, because this is a warm water swimming pool."

Asked if rumoured boyfriend has heard her new song? She laughed and said: "No, I don't intend to give him a cd, wait for him to buy la!" When it was mentioned that recently, quite a few artistes are entering the music industry to be singers, she said that she isn't afraid of competition, because the most important thing is the chance to produce an album. Myolie's new album wil be released next month, and in December, she will be heading to a hotel in Macau for a mini concert.

Chun and Charlene do fashion photo shoot; intimate actions revealed!

Posted by Admin 0 comments
"Butterfly Lovers" is airing soon, and lately Chun and Charlene have been attending a variety of events to help promote their movie, and their rumours are getting more and more fiery. Everytime they appear with their hands or arm linked together, fans will scream non-stop. Facing this atmosphere, the 2 not only do not avoid this, but even specially went to take some intimate photos together while in Hong Kong, to help promote “Butterfly Lovers”.

Magazine agencies and media fight for their photos

Chun and Charlene are both very popular in the entertainment industry, but even more, they are the pampered pets in the fashion and advertisment world. Chun’s handsome face, tall good body, and his sunshine nature, along with Charlene’s pure and sweet smile have won over many fans’ support. Ever since the 2 accepted the movie “Butterfly Lovers”, many magazine agencies have invited the 2 to shoot magazine covers and spreads, but both of them have their own movies and concerts to keep them busy, so they did not have time to do much photos.

Although Chun and Charlene could not come to Beijing and Shanghai to do photo shoots, but to co-operate with promoting “Butterfly Lovers”, the 2 took a batch of fashion photos in Hong Kong, to satisfy the needs of Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. However, even before the photos were finished, there were already tons of media and fashion industry executives phoning to buy the right to publish the photos, and this caused some chaos. After Chun and Charlene were informed of this news, they replied, “If we had known earlier that we were so popular, we would’ve taken more batches, to prevent the media from fighting with each other.”

Chun and Charlene: best on-screen couple

From this batch of photos, it’s not hard to see their good understanding of each other, and compatibility; it is very surprising that this is their first time they have worked together. Something worth mentioning is that these batch of photos have been designed by the magazine agency to print the words “Boyfriend, Girlfriend”. Plus, with their close, ambiguous actions, they are really a happy modern version of “Butterfly Lovers”.

Chun and Charlene since filming “Butterfly Lovers”, from unfamiliar to familiar, from bumpy to good friends, one movie has turned them into “best on-screen couple”. During filming, Charlene revealed that because of Chun, she found the feeling of first love back, “Everytime I see Chun’s deep soulful expression from his eyes, I cannot help but blush!” Charlene shyly recalled. Facing rumours, the 2 have never avoided, whether it is playfully bickering at the filming scene or attending promotion events together hands/arms linked together, Chun and Charlene use a different style to prove their innocent and pure friendship. Charlene even expressed, “After entering the industry for so long, what type of storm have I not seen! If rumours will help our movie, then of course I won’t mind.”

Chun: Ah Sa is so elegant

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Charlene (Ah Sa) and Chun 吳尊 attended the movie premier for "Butterfly Lovers" in the Wanchai Convention and Exhibition Centre the other night. Hundreds of fans were waiting for the stars to appear. When Chun turned up, fans were waving their banners and screaming their heads off. On the other hand, when Ah Sa appeared, they were less enthusiastic. Ah Sa was in the Chinese Bridal Palanquin (花轎) all dressed in red like a Chinese bride. Chun was holding a long sword and he was trying to kick the door open (踢轎門), but Ah Sa refused to come out. Chun had to take her out from the palanquin with his bare hands. Chun revealed afterwards that he was taken back by her charm. Ah Sa was so elegant and feminine.

Jingle Ma, the director gave Ah Sa a cane strict away. Ah Sa smiled at Chun "Come here Chun, let jeh jeh (sister) hit you." Chun replied "I am so good, why do you want to hit me for?" Everybody bursted out laughing.

Gillian Chung (Ah Gill) was supposed to be in the leading role for "Butterfly Lovers". Due to the sex scandal earlier in the year, Ah Sa took over her role. Ah Sa told reporters "I had invited Ah Gill, but she didn't want to face so many people today. She is going to watch the movie in the cinema." Reporters asked how could Ah Gill return to the entertainment circle if she is worried about facing the media? Ah Sa didn't reply but she stressed that Ah Gill won't be retuning this year and it is up to the company. She is hoping Ah Gill can start work soon because Twins need two people to record their songs.

[Miriam Yeung] Good album sales

Posted by Admin 0 comments
Miriam's new album has been sold over 20000 copies. Leon Lai spent money to buy a full page advertisement on many papers, breaking the rumours of them being on bad terms. Leon will also organise concerts for Miriam next year February in Shanghai, and next year end in Hong Kong.

Miriam looks rejuvenated and denied it is because of nourishment from love. She will not talk about her relationship until the day she gets married, and will not have a wedding that is like Kelly Chen's. She said she's energetic because after Music Is Live concert, she had sprained her waist and rested for 3 days. She didn't see the papers yet and only knew the company had published a full page ad to congratulate on her good album sales. "It's expensive! But Mr Lai has always been generous." Reporters joked she should understand Gaile's happiness now? Miriam did not dare to admit she has become a pet, "Can't compare this way. The degree is different!" Miriam is pleased about the good sales results of her album and said the company should throw a party for her. She doesn't mind giving a treat but company must pay for the drinks.

Miriam said the rumours are marketing strategies. Artistes always have rumours about affairs or bad terms. She actually finds rumours of a guy and a girl on bad terms are equally interesting. Miriam doesn't deny that entering a new company takes time to get used to it. This album definitely gets more understanding than the previous one. As for becoming Leon's favourite, she said, "All along I don't put myself in these positions. I will put myself in another planet so that it's more subjective."

Miriam will be going to Beijing to film drama "Ji Xiao Lan" for 2 months. She has already started training and practicing. Is she afraid her popularity will drop in Hong Kong when she's not around and affect her results in end year awards? Miriam is not worried. She said Hong Kong is not only talking about popularity but also long term quality. Therefore she has confidence in herself and all these years she had been attending awards shows with ordinary heart.

About Janice admitting she has "came out from the fridge", Miriam joked, "Did she meant she took ice-cream out from the fridge? Maybe her Chinese is not good and caused misunderstanding. Or Mr Lai taught her to say it? Sounds like Mr Lai's golden words." But Miriam said freezing people is no longer a trend now, and doesn't believe Janice is not released from the fridge because of re-signing her contract as that can only be done for insurance policy.

This time is the first time he kissed a guy. Ai Wei said that he has kissed Lam Ka Dung before, Ai Wei personally does not really care.
