"I never thought of making it into the final five. Actually, I never thought that "Adopted Girl" would receive so many appraisals during the filming process. To be honest, the filming was very hectic because my screen time was increased, my character often cries, plus the dialogue is very long. On top of that, we had to rush to finish filming so it would air. Also, there was a lot of pressure during filming because we all wanted to break the curse of all sequels (sequels = lower in ratings). "Moonlight" was in competition with "Heart of Greed." Luckily, the ratings for "Moonlight" became number one in ratings for HK produced TV series."

This award is huge because it is at the top of the page with Sir Run Run's 'Ming Pao 40th Anniversary Supreme Award.' Plus, the 'Most Supported Artiste Award' was picked by readers/supporters from 45 nominees in the three categories of music, movie, and TV. In the past, Jessica Hsuan won it three times and Leo Ku has won it twice.

Natalie Tong plays a patient with a mental disorder in the new TVB series (The Hatred Of Love). The other day she filmed a scene of her attempting to jump off the second floor of a shopping mall. Due to her acting being too realistic , many people mistakenly thought it was real and were in shock.

The storyline is about Natalie previously being raped and due to having a mental disorder she suddenly rushed towards the railings and attempted to jump off. Fortunately Mary Hon managed to save her. Due to the actions being dangerous, Natalie had wires attached to her. But before she filmed the scene she still appeared fairly relaxed. "I am not afraid of heights, I have previously jumped off the 8th floor of a building, this time its just the 2nd floor of a shopping mall, it's not a big deal".

Passerbys thought it was real

When she began filming, she meditated for 1 minute and then shouted out loud rushing towards the railings. Many passers-by thought it was real. Even though Natalie wasn't afraid of jumping off a building however she felt playing a role of a patient with a mental illness very tiring. She said "Because there are many emotional ups and downs. Sometimes it's hard to release from the character. I remember last time when I filmed a scene jumping off a building, afterwards I nearly crashed while driving". In order for Natalie to relax her mood, she would walk around the shopping mall when she wasn't filming.

Although this year Liza Wang lost out in the TVB Anniversary Awards, but last night she saved her pride (face). Last night the 41st TVB Anniversary Gala was held, Liza performed a hip hop dance on water with many other "kids" (TVB young artistes). Liza's performance seem to have been better than Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng's touching performance, which viewers thought was not like as anticipated.

To celebrate TVB's 41st birthday, 132 TVB artistes came in ancient-western costumes and did many stage performances. Although Liza did not get any awards this year, but she made a comeback in her hiphop on water performance. Liza was the first to come out and danced solo, followed by an "in water hip hop dance" with other TVB artistes who had little clothing on, such as Kate Tsui and Grace Wong. But the group of young Fadan and Siu Sang were all brave enough to do "male on top, female on bottom" moves and the female would "roll" on the male's pants. Definitely challenging the scale of TV!

Wong Cho Lam's performance, can't stop laughing

61 year old Ah Jie (Liza) copied Aaron Kwok's concert in wetting herself and did hip hop dancing on water, but seem to went off beat, fortunately she made up for it and in the last part of the routine Michael Tse lifted her up up side down, it was tremendous! The pressured young fadans won applause from the whole audience! The Host Nat Chan praised the performance and when asked if it was difficult? Liza said: "Nope, its very fun! Haven't done fast dancing for a long time, able to dance with so many dance kings and queens. I feel young too!"

On the other hand, the most anticipated "Sheh-Wing" performance did not have much, just had the rumored couple dance together. Although the rumored couple continued to let TVB bring them up along with Ng Kwan Lai, Sek Sau, etc. but they were not as great as Liza's performance. Kevin also had a stiff expression throughout the performance, while Charmaine had a sweet smile. During the interview in the make up room, Charmaine said: "I was really nervous!" Amigo Chui asked Charmaine: "Are you nervous because Kevin's beside you?" Besides Amigo, Kevin heard the question and immediately patted him on the shoulder. Also, when the two rumored couples Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong, Linda Chung and Raymond Lam performed the MEGASHOW, there was not any big surprises.

Last year's trio Wong Cho Lam, Johnson Lee and Louis Yuen continued to minic others, this year they did "The Four Golden Flowers", afterwards they pretended to be "Ho Ma, Sa Yee, Hung Yee" and did a Rap song. The lyrics were all about the rumored couples, including "Ah Sheh ran fast, Kevin has something strange going on", "Sonjia Kwok's deep V made me mad" . All those made everyone laugh really hard.

The comedy skit was based on popular series "Moonlight Resonance", which ended up being a big waste of food. During the skit, everyone was playing hard. Lee See Kei, Susanna Kwan, Ha Yu, Eric Tsang, Moses Chan, Bosco Wong, Charmaine Sheh, Christine Ng and Myolie Wu were all apart of it. The skit had someone from behind each person to feed them cakes. Christine Ng was behind Moses Chan reaching her hand into his chest area. Ha Yu then attacked Bosco Wong's bottom half with cake. Originally showing the talent of tossing cakes, Eric Tsang ended up throwing the cake around randomly. But some netizens say that the skit was a copy of 1988's Anniversary comedy skit. Susanna Kwan and Ha Yu were the most miserable ones, they were being played so hard that they got cake all over their face and on their beautiful clothings. Afterwards, Susanna Kwan expressed that she didn't get mad, most importantly it didn't ruin her jewelry. As for Eric Tsang was asked about Susanna's black face, he supported her: "She's really happy, backstage she was still asking who caked her!" As for the $60,000HKD gifts and awards was taken away by Grace Wong, Shirley Yeung and Charmaine Sheh got second and third awards respectively.

Also, 101 year old 6th Uncle, yesterday he was accompanied by Mrs. Fong and the two Miss HK Ma Choi and Cheung Sue Na.

The fans baked a birthday cake for her and she was very happy indeed. Since Ah Sa is a year older now, she stated that she wouldn't be playing around anymore. She wanted to calm down a bit. Asked if she wanted to be an honest girl friend (廿四孝) and staying at home all the time? Ah Sa said help! " Don't guess, I said I am not going out to "wet" (out playing around) because I have work to do. I am also older now, I don't like to go to places where there are lots of loud music and shouting. In the past I spent my birthday singing karaoke, dinner party and shopping, but now, I really wanted to rest. Too much night life is not very good for the skin complexion."

Ah Sa revealed that because she has a very busy schedule, her fans had to submit the application for her birthday celebration very early. They had booked 25 tables for her birthday party. Ah Sa was very touched and she said that was her only birthday celebration this year because she has to work on her birthday. It is also considered unlucky if you celebrate your birthday afterwards. That is why even Ah Sa was so busy, she tried her best to turn up for the party because she wouldn't want to disappoint her fans.

The actress declined to comment on the amount Hui's family would give her as a wedding gift.

It has been rumored that her friends from show business, like Hong Kong actor Carina Lau and Leung Tong, would be invited to the wedding.

TVB's 41st Anniversary Extravaganza was held yesterday evening at Tseung Kwan O TVB City. Over one hundred artistes attended the event. In last year's Anniversary Extravaganza, Wong Cho Lam, Louis Yuen and Johnson Lee portrayed (Fat version Korean Pop King Rain) and (G Cup Jolin Tsai) which made the audience see them in a new light. This year they continued their comedy act, as well as portraying the (Four Golden Flowers), they also portrayed the look of Hor Ma, Sa Yi and Hung Yi while doing a rap song. In the lyrics they were singing about their colleagues, such as rumoured couple Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng. They used the phrase "Charmaine left quick, Kevin is up to something". Afterwards they teased Sonija Kwok by saying "Sonija Kwok's Deep V makes me crazy". They also said "Raymond Lam it will also be you next year". But unfortunately the comedy act wasn't as appealing as last year.

TVB arranged rumoured couples Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Raymond Lam, Linda Chung, Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh to pair up. In the part "Unforgettable Golden Love Songs" they held hands while singing old loves songs.

Bill Chan, Wu Fung etc also paired up with older generation couples but it seemed they lacked chemistry and was quite a boring part of the show.

As for best part of the evening, it would be Liza Wang dancing with the young artistes for the part "Street Hot Coffee Rain Dance", dancing Hiphop which attracted the audience. Liza started by doing a pole dance, followed by Kate Tsui, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Grace Wong etc wearing short skirts and dancing in a water atmosphere. Despite Michael Tse being a professional he accidently slipped. Afterwards he explained that due to the floor being wet that's why he slipped. But this part of the show was discussed by netizens and criticised for copying the movie (Step Up 2). Even the background music was exactly the same. In addition netizens also mentioned that Liza Wang's dancing was poor, but some said for a 61 year old she was much better than Dodo Cheng who danced in "All Singers For TVB Anniversary Special"

Comedy skit is dissapointing

Each year the show's most interesting part is the comedy skit. This year they have arranged the cast of (Moonlight Resonance), Eric Tsang, Myolie Wu, Charmaine Sheh, Christine Ng to appear in it. But they copied the same idea used in 1988's TVB Anniversary Extravaganza. In that year Stephen Chow, Tony Leung and Carina Lam were casted. Moses Chan cross dressed and portrayed Hung Yi, while throwing cream cakes at each other. Even Ha Yu and Susanna Kwan were covered in cake. Afterwards, Susanna said she didn't mind, most important is that it didn't interfere with her jewerelly. Eric was asked by the reporter about Susanna having a black face, he said "She is very happy, when she was backstage she was still asking who hit her with cake, the anniversary show is like that".

In addition, Sonija Kwok who said she would appear sexy only in the TVB Awards Ceremony, was also the most sexiest Fa Dan with Shirley Yeung on the night.

Therefore when he gets home from filming, he goes straight to the bathroom for half an hour until he has calmed down before he comes out to face his wife and Lucas.

The most item in TVB Gala night is the comedy skit. This year, Moonlight Resonance stars and addition of Eric, Myolie, Charmaine and Christine Ng took part in the skit. But unfortunately, it wasn't that good. Although Moses imitated Hung Yi very well, the comedy strength was weak. They only played around with the cakes, hitting Ha Yu and Susanna Kwan on the face and body. Bosco's bottom half of his body was hit by cake too (haha..the cake on Bosco was smashed by Myolie).

Andy Lau will be arriving in Taiwan on 19 November via Cathay CX402 to prepare for his 21 and 22 November concerts at the Taipei Arena. He's delighted that he's able to bring his 2 sons Andox and Blackie along for his Taiwan concerts. Andy said: "When I brought Andox to Taiwan when I promote for my Mandarin album last year, it was his first appearance in public activities and press conference." Blackie was born later than Andox, since then, both of them had been appearing together with Andy in his public activities and concerts. Their popularity made Andy jealous as he said: "Never expected that they are more popular than me. When I was walking along the streets in Hong Kong, I could easily see posters of Andox and Blackie on the stores' wall or display window. Both of them would be going into the photo studio to take some Christmas theme photos soon."

Andy is delighted that he can brought his sons for his Taipei concert, he said: "When they are in Taiwan, I will bring them to taste my favorite rice balls, soy bean drink, plain porridge and my favorite fruits." When asked that he would be on a "tasteless diet" after 7pm, Andy quipped: "No problem, I will just look at them eat."

When asked what song(s) his sons will be singing at the concert, would it be the same as the Hong Kong concerts where they acted out the scene of Tony Leung pointing the gun on Andy's head in Infernal Affairs? Andy said: "I can't reveal too much, you will know when you come watch the concert."

Every year, Andy will have a calendar for his fan club, this time round he brought Andox and Blackie into the studio for the photo shoot of the 2009 calendar, they took a total of 200 photographs. Photo shoot had always been a headache for Andy, but he was delighted this time as with his sons, he do not need to pose on his own as he also allowed Andox and Blackie to pose on their own.

In one of the photos, Andy, Andox and Blackie were seen skipping, they enjoyed themselves. Andy said that despite their huge body size, they are still very agile, he hope that both of them will also have such stamina during the concert in order for a exciting performance.

In another photo, Andy was all dressed up with Andox and Blackie in tie and carrying a rose in their hand, seldom we get to see these kids dressed up so formally. When asked why Andy don't buy a set of clothes so that 3 of them could wear the same clothes, Andy said: "Wah! Their clothes is more expensive than mine, it cost around HK$10,000 to tailor a set of clothes for each of them, they'll buy themselves when they start earning money themselves. But they prefer to dress causally, everybody also like their original look. Having children is not easy, bringing them up is also difficult."

Other than bringing his sons along for his concerts, Andy also bring them along when doing charities.

Recently Andy brought them along to attend the McDonalds World Children Day Bear Bear press conference, urging all to donate. Andy also introduce the Bear Bear T-shirt that he designed.

Andox and Blackie also collaborate with Ronald McDonald House Charities to set up a theme restaurant. Andy had collaborate with McDonald many times, this year he wrote a song 'Mei You Chi Ban De Tian Shi'. Other than these, Andox and Blackie also become main characters of online game, for those interested can check out www.andox.cc

Andy Lau, Eason Chan, Soft Hard and Joey Yung performed in McDonald's World Children Day 2008 concert.

Andy, along with his "sons" Andox and Blackie did the opening singing "Mei You Chi Ban De Tian Shi" and "Dao Zhuan Di Qiu", as usual Andox's performance won applause and snatch some "limelight" away from Andy.

Andy doesn't seems to mind about his limelight snatched away by Andox and Blackie as he wished that they are more popular than him because Andox had attracted companies attention for collaboration, but Andy rejected them even before a price was being mentioned.

Andy quipped: "The time is not ripe yet, they had not build an image, thus never thought of how much they're worth, currently they will only attend fan club activities, however there is one electronic company wanted to purchase the image rights of Andox and Blackie in order to release some products, the copyright fees looked good. (So what products will you reject?) I won't accept anything that require them to strip, haha!" Andy denied that he had become the manager of his sons, he said he treat them as his family member.

Andy once exclaimed that he rooted for Ha Yu for the TV King award, he's delighted that he had won the award, but he does not have Ha Yu's mobile phone number thus he could not call to congratulate him.

When asked if Andy had the "itch" to go back to shoot drama serial, he said: "I've a few discussions with TVB, I would like to be in idol drama, if it's an idol drama, it will be bad if I'm cast as a father! Hahaha, maybe should shoot Hong Kong Milk Tea Prince (literally translated)"

When asked if he will be in the cast, Andy raised his voice and said: "What's wrong if I'm one of the cast, but I've not discussed with TVB. (Maybe you are too expensive and the chances are slim?) I'm expensive but the chances are not slim, anything is possible."

Andy whom had won awards in music and movies, less in TV, he sighed: "Nope, I still have not won many things. (If you are in a drama serial, you will have chance to be TV King?) It's not about the award to be in a drama serial. (For interest?) For money."

Recently, TVB Fadans has been entering the film industry, like Kate Tsui just became the new movie star favorite, Bernice also been chosen to participate in a Hollywood movie, she will be collaborating with Maggie Q as female fighters. This will make Bernice the first TVB Fadan to be a Hollywood movie star.

Working in Hollywood is an artiste's dream. For many years, several Asian artistes have successfully made it into Hollywood and made a famous name there. Artistes like Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang ZiYi, Maggie Cheung and etc. Recent years, Isabella Leong and Gillian Chung also experienced working in Hollywood. Now, TVB released one of their Fadans, Bernice Liu to "investigate" on accepting a western movie called "The King of Fighters".

For many years, Bernice has always hoped to get a female fighter role, as in the new movie she'll be one female fighter, opposite of Maggie Q. It appears that Chris Evans from "The Fantastic Four" will also be part of this film. The filming started yesterday in Canada, because of the timing, the filming schedule was delayed for 2 months, causing Bernice's schedule to be a bit difficult. Because she didn't want to lose this great opportunity, so she was forced to reject advertisement jobs. This time of year is artistes' golden time period where many jobs for Christmas and New Years are offered, Bernice also had to reject those. Her new series "The Grand Entrepreneurs" (金錢誘罪) also needed some adjustments. It is estimated that she lost 7 figures of earnings because of this film, it is seen that she really wants to be part of this new movie.

As for TVB Executive Virgina Lok is fully supporting Bernice in entering the Hollywood industry, she laughs: "The movie has been discussed for half a year, Bernice knows that she will be a female fighter, she has been working hard with TVB in practicing Kung Fu moves. On the set, she also arrives earlier than other cast members, hopefully she'll adapt to the new environment. She called me a few days ago and reported the situation to me, she said the crew is very professional! She has not complained once on how difficult it is! (Is the salary good?) It's decent, most importantly this is a good opportunity, money is not an issue. TVB will fully support her." As for the director of the new movie Chan Ka, reporters have not been able to contact.

Earlier on in an interview Jacky Cheung got Eric to admit that he had lost a lot of his assets following the market crunch, Eric responded "He is imagining it. Our greatest financial loss was in 1964 when we bought 14 houses in Macao. That was a bad investment. (How much did you lose?) Not as much as Jacky. He was richer than me. He made a few 7 figure sum in one single concert. I have to do a lot of movies for that. He goes on tour once, he earned more than I earn in a life time. ( Are you worried about how much money he has lost?) He is so rich, he will get the money back by singing a few more songs. The positive thing that comes out in a recession is the singers are all coming back. There is no need for them to talk about retirement at all. It is everybody's fortune that Jacky is making a come back. It is a good job he lost money, otherwise we won't hear him sing again."
