Ada Choi, Moses Chan, Kenny Wong, and Raymond Cho were present at TVB City yesterday to film for the sales presentation for their upcoming series. Ada appeared with an exaggerated fat housewife look, creating a humorous atmosphere. She even tried to pose with an "S-figure", calling herself "Big S". Ada jokingly said: The top has to be flattened, bottom has to be enlarged. My figure is now "A-shaped", matching perfectly with my name "Ada".

Ada revealed that the script for this play isn't all written out yet, even the names of characters aren't finalized yet. The only thing that they're sure about is that their appearances will be very exaggerated, and it's a funny comedy. She says: My role will be a superwoman . Before my transformation I'll be overweight, but afterward my appearance will be very sexy. I'll have many sexy outfits, surpassing my usual limits!

With extra padding it was very tiring

When mentioned full bottom meant having high chances of giving birth, Ada jokingly said that with a bottom that big, she could give birth to more than 10 children! She revealed that she will have a lot different appearances in this series. For her “Fat Bottom” appearance at the costume fitting, she had to where layers of cotton padding in order to give that effect. Ada expressed that it was very hot wearing the padding, and plus she had to pad her chest in order to flatten it, so it was a little hard and tiring, but she was satisfied with the results.

Appearing with white hair at the filming, Moses cheerfully said that this is his fourth time collaborating with Ada. With regards to rumours about Raymond Lam going out to dinner with Virginia Lok in order to secure his chances of winning the Best Actor award, Moses clarified by saying: Sometimes artistes will ask the higher management out to dinner in order to maintain their relationship. As for myself, I rarely do that. In fact, I don’t believe that treating management out to dinner will have any help to winning an award. Raymond is a very strong contestant this year, and his chances of winning are high. I believe his chances of winning are still high so he doesn't need to do those things. Mentioning that Raymond’s biggest competitor this year, Ha Yu has already signed a management contract with TVB in exchange for the award, Moses said that: I also hope that wins My Favorite Male Character. We’re a family, and I’ll be supporting him. Moses expressed that he’s already won the award last year He had less screen time this time and his performance was just average, so his chances of winning aren’t high.

Next month is already the Anniversary month, among the awards there'll be bitterly fought for the [Best Actress Award]. However, another small group of new Siu Fa's is quietly bringing out a revolution. Selena Li, Miss Photogenic in Miss Hongkong Pageant 2003, has a high rate of on-screen appearance lately. From the re-broadcast of her drama [To Grow With Love] in the evening to the broadcast of her series [The Four] in the prime-time, she even takes part in the home viewing show [Living Up]. Her human spirit index explodes lights, no wonder that recently she became the new "darling" in the advertising industry, she keeps getting many advert jobs and stage performances. She can become a Fadan at any time!

Starting that time as a Miss Hongkong participant from Canada, Selena has unconscious joined the entertainment industry for already five years. Without counting the soon-to-be-released series [When Easterly Showers Fall On The Sunny West], she has a total of 5 series aired this year, she can be considered as the crown of fadans. No wonder that she is full of confidence in winning the [Most Improved Actress Award]. She says: "[Survivor's Law II], which aired early this year, was well-received by the audience, this has given me a strong self-confidence. This year is already my fourth year that I get nominated for the [Most Improved Actress Award]. If I tell you that I don't want to win an award, then it is a lie, but I also don't want to give myself too much pressure. Moreover, the competition this year is also very strong, like Tavia Yeung and Sharon Chan, both did a great job. Actually, I don't mind who will win, I will still be happy. If I win, I'll be of course extra happy. When our company announced the official nominees list, I have also sent a message to Tavia, we will both do our best."

Full of injuries for [The Four]

In the recent broadcasting hit series [The Four], Selena plays the high-skilled kungfu fighter Nam Yeuk Fei, an agressive and obstinate character, who becomes a mumping enemy of constable Kenneth Ma. Playing a female fighter for the first time, she tries to do it all herself, with as result that her body is full of injuries. "Actually, the drama is filmed during the winter in Yunnan Shilin. That place is very cold, but really beautiful. The company has arranged a stuntman for me, but I think that if it doesn't exceed my strength, then doing it myself is still better, so I declined the crew's good intention. In the entire process, to deal with the continually wuxia fighting scenes, I constantly got abrasions and bruises."

Although Selena doesn't have a martial arts background, she can luckily dance. Therefore her movements are quite agile, which is sufficient to deal with the fighting scenes. The thing that makes her most embarrassed instead, is when she accidently missed which causes injuries to the staffmember who got hit by her. "My role in the series uses a leather whip as weapon, but because I do not have a martial arts background, I would miss a lot of times. I remember the first time, the staff member asides me was extremely shocked, my leather whip doesn't have eyes. Most of the time I hit the opponents for the first time by mistake. I really had to say sorry to them."

(regarding rumors) Earlier played as Wai Sui Bo's 7th wife "Ah Ho" (Kiki Sheung) automatically came to Kevin and said that she'll be willing to be his 7th rumored girlfriend, this scared Kevin and made him bounce off.

Roger Kwok, Kevin Cheng and Kiki Sheung attended the "Last One Standing" thanking dinner, Kevin's rumors became the focus once again. As to earlier there were rumors that in these 5 years Kevin has chased 6 girls. In the series, Kiki plays Kevin's mom fought to be Kevin's "Number 7" : "I'm his number 7! In the past I played 'Ah Ho', the most pretty one too!" This scared Kevin as he immediately bounced away, afterwards he played along: "Rumored to have so many, this is my most satisfied one!"

Kiki although was just playing with Kevin's rumors, but she fully supports him that he's not a playboy: "His standards are really high, he needs the girls to make the first move, so it is not possible that he chased after 6 girls. Even if I have, he hasn't even had!" As to his "old love" Niki Chow exposed that in the past half year they both have kept in contact and met up, Kevin feels that the rumors needs come to its end: "unless I hear Niki say it herslef, I will not respond.

But Roger has confidence, will celebrate if the ratings are good: "Hope the ratings could reach 51 points, beating Moonlight Resoances, but won't set the goal to be so high, so next time we could beat it again! There is a scene in the finale that will put you all in great shock, must stay tuned! (Want to film sequel?) I'm quite compatible with Kevin, the sequel could have many different ideas, if its a comedy version, I could play a stuttering murderer, one side stuttering another side murdering." Last night for the dinner, Kevin and Roger both paid for the party, having 4-5 tables, inviting the entire cast and crew, but female lead Yoyo Mung was unable to attend due to work.

The new TVB drama series (The Hatred of Love) had a costume fitting yesterday. The cast that appeared included Alex Fong Chung Sun, Kate Tsui, Astrid Chan, Timmy Hung, Elliot Yue and Vivien Yeo. In this series Alex Fong will portray a Psychiatrist. Kate Tsui will have a history of mental disorders. The series had not started filming yet but the cast who appeared at the press conference were already talking nonsense and snapping at each other which created a lot of jokes.

Alex and Kate will have a relationship in the series but both of them kept a distance yesterday since they weren't close. The first thing Alex said was that Kate was his favourite female newcomer. This comment shocked Kate and she didn't know know how to respond. Afterwards he introduced Kwan Yuen San who will play his 17 year old daughter and looked up and down at her. Timmy couldn’t resist laughing and said "When your daughter is 17 years old will you look at her that way?". This joke made everyone at the scene laugh. Alex also said Kwan Yuen San shouldn’t worry and joked by saying before he was a father he would flirt with the female actresses, but now he wouldn't.

He said he didn't know if he would have any intimate scenes with Kate. Would he cut down on those type of scenes since becoming a father? He felt that it wouldn't have much influence and hopes in the future his daughter will understand that her father is an actor. As for having a 17 year old daughter in the series, he personally said he was reaching the age of 45. If he had a 17 year old daughter it wouldn't be strange just that in real life he married late. He said "When my daughter is 17 years old then I will be 62. But it doesn't matter, do more exercise and it shouldn’t be a problem. Just like Tse Yin who is still very fit", The reporter asked if he didn’t dare to flirt with female actresses now? He joked "If everyone has better communication, we can leave work early. Then work on the next production. Also we can forget about unhappy things such as the stock market crisis".

Kate said she was very nervous working with Alex. Yesterday Alex’s flirtatious comment of her being his favourite female newcomer made her speechless and she didn't know how to respond. She praised him for being very attractive but they have an age gap of 16 years. Would she accept dating a older guy in real life? She indicated that personally she didn’t think she could because she has always been very active. Her partner may feel he is babysitting his daughter. She had also been taking motorcycle lessons for the series and hopes to pass her license soon.

Fiona's first musical "Last Smile, First Tear" is scheduled for 5th December. There will be 8 performances. The casts include Joey Leung, Edmond Tong, Emotion Cheung and Au Ka Mun. Fiona was very excited being in the lead role. She likes the feel of acting live on stage too, and she gets on very well with the rest of the cast.

When the poster of "Last Smile, First Tear" was being filmed, they had to get a red crystal which looks like a tear drop to put on her face. The filming lasted for 6-7 hours. "The fake tear drop stayed on my face for so long. My skin is so sensitive. As a result, my face is now red and swollen. It is not a problem as long as the poster turns out OK. I don't care about my sensitive skin because it is worth it."

Miriam, Eason Chan, Huang Zheng and Chen Kun performed in Shanghai for the Johnny Walker show. Miriam reminded, "Don't forget, I'm actually a singer."

Her good friend Eason is already a big name in the Chinese music scene and Miriam is still fighting for her singer identity, "Eason released Mandarin songs earlier so people are very familiar with his songs. I have fewer Mandarin songs. Actually, we started out from the same singing competition."

Even though Miriam's music awards are being presented by Hong Kong's top four media stations, China fans are actually familiar about her music as well. However, the lack of Mandarin songs do affect her development in the China music scene. Miriam also knows about this point, "Company is preparing for my Mandarin album. My Mandarin album will release around end of the year. Next year February, I'll hold a concert in Shanghai."

She thanked Leon's company, "I used to be very self indulgent in my music. Now even though I still have my own thinking, I'll give up certain stuff and the result turned out to be good."

The day's event has the theme of "Friends give me encouragement, I strive towards my dream." Miriam also has encouragements from friends and family when she experienced setbacks and downhills in her career.

Miriam admits when she's down, friends' encouragements and consolations brings her warmth. Amongst them, she likes to talk to Lin Xi. "He's a person who understands what others think easily. When I'm unhappy, he would give me counseling." Her song "A Boat" was specially written for her by Lin Xi. There's a few lines that makes people think: To accomplish lifetime ambition is too much / Who can own everything? / Scared to have clear thoughts too early / Like a puppet even when hugging...

Worldwide financial crisis affected celebrities a lot as well. Miriam admitted being affected a little, "The economy is not good now, very obvious artistes are getting fewer jobs and affected income." As for investments, Miriam is not really into stocks, but invested in some properties, so there's also a bit of loss.

But Miriam who is all along positive, is not too worried by it. She's not very hands on in her investments and usually leaves them to her mother to handle. Current situation, the best way will be to let nature takes it's course.

The TVB series (Moonlight Resonance) broke rating records and the cast had been celebrating non stop recently. Yesterday evening it was TVB executive Stephen Chan's turn to treat the cast for a feast in Tsim Sha Tsui and spent a 6 digit figure, treating over 80 members of the cast and behind the scenes staff. The cast Ha Yu, Raymond Lam, Moses Chan, Susanna Kwan, Louise Lee and Lee Heung Kam, plus Tavia Yeung were all present.

When Michelle Yim arrived at the scene she was pursued by reporters asking about her boyfriend Wan Chi Keung's condition. Michelle had just returned from Beijing and said she will not answer any questions relating to his health condition. She said the reports are too exaggerated because from the beginning to the end he was not diagnosed having cancer, it’s just after effects. She indicated that relatives and friends have been disturbed by the reports and she hopes the press will not continue to write those reports again. She said Wan Chi Keung only had a minor operation and it was normal to feel weak after the operation. She hopes everyone will give him space and thanked everyone’s concern. Currently Wan Chi Keung’s condition is good. She said he will soon be discharged from the hospital and it was not how the reports clarified as in having emergency treatment which was exaggerated. When she read the report she was shocked. She admits that he cannot eat just yet as the operation had just been done. But she only revealed it was a minor operation for after effects.

Ha Yu returned from Canada yesterday evening and arrived at the scene with his luggage. As for the TV King award he said he had confidence in himself but wasn't sure if he would receive it. The reporter asked if Raymond Lam was his biggest competitor? He said each one of them were good actors, and very powerful. As for TVB wanting to sign a Management contract with him, he said he will need to discuss it further. The reporter then said he would have a better chance if he was TVB's son (one of their contracted artistes). He replied "Only you say that, how can that be, can't believe that. It's not like exchanging gifts, everyone is just speculating. Perhaps TVB will specifically make it happen so that people will know it's a fair competition”.

Recently Louise Lee had been reported making an complaint about Raymond Lam due to him being frequently late while filming. Yesterday they co-operated in taking a picture together. Raymond said "When filming I had discussed this, Louise has also made it clear. Our relationship is very good". Louise Lee also indicated that she communicated with him over the phone. She said to use the phrase (Back-stab) was nonsense. She said "Unless I said it wrong otherwise the reason is that the reporters have nothing to write about and want to stir things up". She also felt Raymond would receive the TV King award and praised his role for being well behaved.
