Since TVB aired a clip of Gillian Chung's "Be My Guest" interview, TVB had received 60 complaints. The complaints include the interview contents giving a bad influence to young people and also the fact that the clip was arranged during the news broadcast which was an inappropriate time. However, there were also 28 claims that supported Gillian. They indicated that the incident happened a year ago and has passed, therefore Gillian should be given a chance. They admire Gillian being responsible for her actions. TVB later explained that the reason why it was aired during the news broadcast was because they saw it as a point of news rather than entertainment. This is an incident that all Chinese people have been focusing on.

Louis Koo was present at Shanghai's Madame Tussauds Wax Museum to unveil his "Blue Warrior" wax figure. Louis is considering in spending money to make another wax figure so he can have a memento when he retires. "It takes a couple of million dollars (HKD) to make one of these (wax figures), and they also must have the time to make it, too. So I'll think about it in ten years. At that time it can be like a toy figurine and you can help him change clothes. For instance, pajamas, superman clothes, or it doesn't have to wear any clothing at all."

Since Louis is the first Pepsi spokesperson to have a wax figure, does this make him Pepsi's Number One Brother? "I think Jolin Tsai is Number One Sister because she is the only female spokesperson."

The drug related arrest of Kelvin Kwan and Jill Vidal in Japan has raised the attention of Hong Kong society. The two were arrested on February 24, and are currently still being held in custody. Jill’s record company, A-Music, have started to take action yesterday. Boss Leon Lai, has sent representatives and lawyers to Japan to “rescue” Jill. Meanwhile, Jill’s twin sister, Janice Vidal, also appeared looking tired and worn out.

Yesterday morning, Leon met with Janice and her family behind closed doors. They discussed Jill’s current situation and future work arrangements. A-Music will hold a press conference today to discuss the situation. Leon has already sent manager Chan Sin Chi and a lawyer last night to Japan to “rescue” Jill.

A-Music Orders Artists to Not Discuss the Matter

Since the matter is currently in the midst the Japanese judicial process, Leon has informed his artists that it was not suitable to publicly discuss the matter. When Janice was surrounded by reporters yesterday, she appeared tired and from her puffy eyes, it appeared that she has been crying.

Universal Record Company Executive Duncan Wong

Duncan Wong, an executive at Kelvin’s record company, Unviersal, accepted an interview with CRHK yesterday. He revealed that he received a call from Kelvin’s father on Monday to inform him of Kelvin and Jill’s arrest in Japan. His first reaction was one of “sadness and disappointment.” Duncan supported Kelvin and said that he has always had a healthy image. However, this time, it is the truth that he made a mistake. “He definitely did not steal, but the possession of marijuana is true. He already admitted to it.” According to the legal procedure, Kelvin will be released next week the earliest. He believes that the incident will definitely affect Kelvin’s career development.

Peter Lam: If Jill Did Take Drugs, will Definitely Terminate Her Contract

As for the other artist involved in the incident, Jill, there has yet to be evidence that she possessed or had taken marijuana. The boss of East Asia Entertainment (Jill’s company), Peter Lam expressed that his company is still investigating the matter. However, he made it clear that they will not tolerate this type of behavior. If it is true that Jill has taken drugs, her contract will definitely be terminated. “If an individual is caught, he/she should receive punishment.” He said, if this incident really did happen, it would affect the entire industry and the singers. The company would have lost an artist, but the loss to the artist taking drugs is even bigger, “The loss of the artist would be bigger than anyone else, ruining his/her career and future.”

Miriam Yeung: Society’s Educational Material

Miriam Yeung, who is in the same record company as Jill, said, “Leon has already personally called me to explain the situation to me, and we have a mutual understanding that we won’t offer our public commentary.” Miriam expressed that people should not do things to harm their health, and the most important thing is that the young have learned and understood their lesson. “This incident has given society educational material. Currently, there are situations of drug abuse in middle and elementary schools.” When asked about Jill and Kelvin having served as anti-drug ambassadors, Miriam expressed to not mix the two things together. Asked if she felt that the younger singers do not treasure their opportunities and do not respect themselves? Miriam expressed that she will not comment, “While I’m in the same company as Jill, I don’t really know her. But I remember her to be a very punctual and hard working individual.”

Hacken Lee feels Hurt

Hacken Lee admitted to be half of an elder to Kelvin and has known him for 20 years. He watched Kelvin grow up. Hacken said, “When I first learned of the incident, I didn’t dare believe it to be true, and I felt that it was a pity. I don’t feel that Kelvin is this type of person. If it is true, his parents will be the ones that are hurt the most. As Kelvin’s elder, I feel hurt as well. I just hope now that both will come back to Hong Kong safely. Andy Hui feels that the situation not only affects the two of them, but affects people who like them as well. “Every move and action of artists will draw the attention and following of fans. I hope that people will not let this incident affect their image of other artists. People who think will not feel that because of this incident Hong Kong artists are not good and will set a bad example for the next generation.”

William Chan: Surprised that Kelvin is Involved

William Chan and Kelvin go to the same gym and so are rather familiar with each other. William said, “My perception of Kelvin, is that he does not drink or smoke. So when I heard this news, I was shocked. Originally, I wanted to call him but was scared that he’s waiting for more important calls. I won’t send him a SMS either.” While studying in Canada, Jade Kwan witnessed her classmates smoking marijuana and were even arrested. She said that she won’t do it, “There is a big price to pay for taking drugs. A lot of the youth believe that it is cool to do so, but I feel that not doing drugs is the coolest.”

Kelvin Kwan and Jill were arrested in Tokyo for possessing drugs. Also a singer in A-Music, Miriam attended "Be My Guest" recording and said she was being told by Leon Lai about this matter and the company's singers were asked not to comment too much.

When asked if Leon sound troubled on phone, Miriam replied, "We only talked for a short while. He knew I need to work and meet reporters so he told me roughly about what was the situation and hoped our singers don't comment too much."

Miriam said not only artistes are very concerned about this matter, but also everyone, "Young people will have different experience and lessons, most importantly is they can be enlightened. This is a negative example to society. There have been drug issues in schools recently as well but it's more high profile in the showbiz. This is a society problem. (Kelvin and Jill had taken but in anti-drugs ambassador jobs, isn't it ironic to happen?) Can't compare them, these events are hoping to give positive messages through artistes."

Is Jill a girl with self-respect in Miriam's eyes? She expressed, "Usually see her during work so I don't know. But I see that she's hardworking during rehearsals and very punctual. (Does she have the habit of smoking?) I don't care about other people's stuff and usually leaves right after work. (Young artistes do not treasure their future?) It's not the time to give comments now. Artistes should let everyone know our sincerity towards our job and do our part well. (Katy Kung said that Jill had bad influence on Kelvin?) Anyone who do not understand the matter shouldn't give subjective opinions." Some said East Asia happened a lot after Edison Chen and now Jill, Miriam is helpless, "I shake my head and sigh too. The management office is having headaches as well."

In her i-CABLE interview, Cecilia Cheung revealed her true feelings and won many applauses, that program received many favorable reviews. Will Stephen changed his questioning strategy and ask mainly penetrating questions? He said: "No, I haven't seen Cecilia's interview and only read the written reports, actually when Twins won Asia Pacific Most Popular Female Artist Award, I had already asked Ah Gil for an interview, because of that incident it was postponed. Anyhow Ah Gil will not be responding to a single incident, my positioning remains unchanged, it will still revolve around her mental journey and success or failure aspect to make in-depth exchange and interactive communication. (Will lawyers be present during the process?) From the first episode there has never been lawyers, we chat and communicate, rarely when friends chat lawyers are present. (Will the interview mention the bed scene photos?) Certainly, this is her important life experience. (A magazine wrote that you will ask Ah Gil whether she still trusts men?) Haha, this question is provided by the magazine, I can consider. (Did Ah Gil request to filter the questions?) There has never been a guest who has such a request, they come because they are willing to chat, if they don't feel like talking they should not accept the invitation."

Hopes she isn't under too much pressure

Stephen doesn't know Ah Gil, therefore he asked to meet with her last night, hoping to deepen understanding and trust. "(If Ah Gil proposes to not answer certain questions, will you not ask?) No." Regarding this interview, Stephen frankly said he doesn't feel pressure, he hopes Ah Gil does not have tremendous pressure. TVB will not arrange media interviews on the day of taping. "(Will information be released to the media?) I'll discuss with the Production Department."

Yesterday Kenneth Ma and Vivien Yeo attended the "Italian Cup Semi-Final" (意大利杯準決賽) press conference. Recently Kenneth and Nancy Wu have been spreading rumors, Nancy even publicly strongly praised him. Towards this, he smiled: "Praising me is useless, I don't have anyone thats fighting for me. But I do thank her for praising me, thank you first! (Is there a chance for you and Nancy to develop the relationship?) Definitely, or else would I say that she's not good?!" In Kenneth's impression, Nancy is a hard working dancer and since a year ago when Nancy moved near him, their rumors started. He smiled: "Starting rumors now is already too late (The unit that Nancy lives in, did you suggest it to her?) No, her relative did, she didn't even make soup for me." As to Nancy Sit's incident of being rushed to the hospital during filming, Kenneth who was also part of the cast in that series, he didn't know why Nancy had to stop working, he only knew that they had to film the scenes out of order.

Also, the other day vivien was about to leave her unit to buy something, when she suddenly heard really loud water noises, she immediately went into the bathroom to check. She found out that the toilet was overflowing and the water almost went into the living room. Because her cat didn't leave the bathroom yet, she thought that she saw a ghost, as she hit her cat on the head. As today she will be going to Shenzhen with Raymond Lam and Bosco Wong to film a new series, she exposed that she and Matthew Ko will have a kiss scene, she smiled: "The director asked me earlier which male actor was I familiar with, I thought of Matthew Ko because his first on-screen kiss was given to me!"

One of the main characters of the Artistes' Sex Photo Scandal, Gillian Chung will be accepting an interview it Stephan Chan's "Be My Guest", inevitably her interview will be compared with the contents from Cecilia Cheung's interview, Stephan said: "I only saw the headline to Cecilia's interview. As for me finding Gillian to interview is because she won the Asia-Pacific Female Singer Award over a year ago and it is only because the Sex Photo Scandal that postponed her visit. Just that this time, I am not inviting her to be on the show for her to respond to the scandal, the show has not changed. Questions about success and failure did not change."

Stephan expressed that no guest on the show has requested what questions to be asked, "before, I will be meeting with Gillian, because I don't know her, after the meeting, it will increase our confidence on each other." As for if he is afraid that the questions about the scandal won't be detailed enough? Stephan said: "Orange and Apple have different natures, she does not need to receive so much pressure, during recording there will not be any lawyers present."

As for Kelvin Kwan and Jill Vidal arrested for the pocession of marijuana, Stephan feels that he is not the person who will make any decisions on that case, so it is not convienent for him to respond.

She denied, "Wedding ring is not worn on the right hand. This ring was a gift from a friend for my birthday."

The event was organised by the PR company Real Ting worked in but he wasn't present. Miriam said he had other jobs and reporters teased her for being very clear about what he's doing. Miriam hurriedly explained, "I heard from the people in the company. (Why are you blushing?) I've always been shy."

When being asked if she had listed the term that the press con must be handled by Real Ting's PR company during the renewal of contract with Shiseido? She said, "I can't control that, if I could I would have opened my own PR company to earn money."

As for her god-brother Edison Chen becoming a hot topic again, Miriam expressed she will not discuss about this matter in public, "It happened a year ago and most import thing now is to settle it quickly because it has caused troubles for the victims. Being a bystander and a part of showbiz, I hope they can get back to their lifes and work hard. Life is long and needs to carry on. Hope people can give them space and support."

Miriam had watched Cecelia Cheung's interview, "Things has passed so long, hope the public can understand they shouldn't critisize and have no rights to give comments." Miriam did not get in touch with Edison but had learnt about him though the company. When asked if she hope Edison can return to Hong Kong quickly, Miriam stressed again, "Hope everyone can get back to their lifes. Life is long. Use the correct positive energy to repay society, and boost Hong Kong's positive energy."
