Yesterday, Gillian Chung (Ah Jiao) flew to Beijing to attend a promotional event for TOUGH Jeansmith, which she is the new spokesperson for. However, coincidentally, she was on the same flight with Edison Chen’s father Chen Ze Min. When Gillian found out about this, she felt a bit awkward, admitting that in the past, when she was dating Edison, she had met with his father.

Earlier, when Gillian was in Taipei, she received the support from many fans, but it was a very different case in Beijing. Not only were there rumours about opposition, China Automobile company who previously invited Gillian to endorse an ad for them have retreated due to the problem with her image.

Yesterday, Linda Chung attended a function promoting skin care product, she said that she had been the spokesperson for 2 years, which included in Hong Kong, Mainland, Singapore, Malaysia and many other places, and the pay was 6 figures and she was quite pleased.

But Linda is muddle-headed, at first she thought that she would only be the spokesperson for a year, but she only knew she was stepping into the 2nd year when her assistant reminded her, she also don’t know whether her pay would increase after she renewed contract, reporters laughed and teased her and asked whether she knew how much asserts she had? Linda smile and said: “I really don’t know, before I joined the entertainment field I’ll ask, but Now I felt that I’m happy with my job.” After the economic crisis, everyone had been affected, won’t she be concerned? Linda said she really didn’t bothered before, and felt that she was very lucky because she get to film and get to release album, and recently she would have advertisements, and can continuously film 2 series, and her 2nd album is also in preparation, but all these are decided by the company. Regarding Tvb artistes releasing albums one by one, and not Kate Tsui is releasing an album soon, do you feel that there’s stiff competition? Linda smiled and said: “It’s ok, everyone can experience different things, and also I’m releasing my 2nd album, and I won’t experience the stress of being a newbie.”

The other day, Kathy Chow was seen walking down a busy street alone and trying on clothes, as well as buying shoes. In the end she stopped by an old jewellery shop and went wild choosing gold jewerelly and jades. It is said that she is preparing for her wedding in June, held in Beijing.

TVB series "Emergency Unit" is still airing and Kathy's role Ching Yeuk Sum (Sum Jeh) has become very popular among the audience. As well as having a great career, she was also rumoured to be dating "Mainland version of Korean singer Lee Jun Ki" named Li Gui Fu and in a sister-brother love relationship. But those were just rumours. It is said that Kathy will be marrying her current Boyfriend from Beijing. Despite that their relationship is also classed as as Sister-brother love (boyfriend younger than herself) . But both of them have dated for 8 years and have a stable relationship. They have been living together but are planning to get married in Beijing in June.

Kathy appeared to be very excited that day and was seen shopping near her apartment in Happy Valley. First she went to a clothes store and picked a few outfits. She spent about 10 minutes trying them on but still couldn't find a item that she was satisfied with. Afterwards, she tried out some shoes that were on sale. In the end she bought 2 pairs of shoes. One orange and one green which were extremely cheap. She hastily moved down to another street where she found an old jewellery shop. She sat down and looked at the jades pendants and gold jewellery. Trying them out on her wrist and occasionally revealing a sweet smile. When she discovered the reporters she quickly put all the items back down and left the shop.

Kathy's career started in 1985, when she joined Miss Hong Kong. Although she didn't make it to the Top 15 she was lucky to sign up with TVB as an artist. From then on she has filmed many TV series. In 1990 she was rumoured being pursued by Leon Lai while they filmed a series together. But in the end he was unsuccessful. In 1998 she officially left TVB and started her career in Mainland. There she met her current boyfriend who is 6 years younger than her. Kathy later returned to TVB to shoot TV series "Emergeny Unit" and "In the Chamber of Bliss". During that time there were also rumours of her dating Li Gui Fu a singer who is also younger than her. She denied that the reports with Li Gui Fu were true.

Due to Ron Ng's handsome looks he easily attracts rumours however he had no real sparks with Elanne Kong who he collaborated with in TVB series "Emergeny Unit. Ron just feels that she is tomboyish and they can only be brothers. Elanne also stressed that Ron is not the type of guy she normally goes for, the reason being is because Ron (The King of Rumours) is too handsome.

Ron has also appeared in "The Academy" and "On The First Beat". This time it is his first time playing the role of a undercover. His target is to link himself into the triad society and gather evidence. He stated that this role is his breakthrough and he had done enough preparations for it. "This role is similar to Tony Leung's "Infernal Affairs" and Daniel Wu in "protégé". I have never portrayed the role of an undercover before but I have previously watched many undercover movies. I really like the character "Chung Lap Man" it is a challenge for me and fun to portray.

Elanne Kong Bit his arm, close to bleeding

In the series Ron and Elanne have many bickering scenes. They would both play around crazily off and on set. After collaborating with each other this time, Ron discovered that Elanne has a rough side to her because even off set she would be playfully attacking him. Ron said "In the series there is a scene where Elanne uses a Cane to hit me. Wah! She really did hit me with it. It really hurt. In another scene she was biting my arm and bit me deep. She has a big mouth so not only was their teeth marks but was close to bleeding." Although Ron is often abused by her but he stated that he really enjoyed working with her. He couldn't stop praising Elanne. "Elanne is a happy fruit, a very smart girl. She get's on with work easily and naturally born to be in this industry. She is very good at speaking and is good with her scripts. She is really playful. Previously I called her "Fat Lam" (Lam = her Chinese name Yeuk Lam) because I could see her getting fat without any neck. Therefore she quickly changed her eating habits. Now she is a lot slimmer and as a singer you shouldn't be too fat."

Ron disclosed that due to filming this series they have now become friends. When they are free they will contact each other via phone. But he stressed that they are brothers. He said "Sometimes I feel Elanne is very tomboyish, very care free. If we had any real sparks they would have come by now. I wish her the best of luck in finding a good other half. I won't deny that she is very pretty. I have been attracted to her too. Actually you can admire someone and not have to be paired up with them.

Rough side of Elanne shocked Ron

Singers really enjoy shooting TV series because they can leave a deeper impression with the audience. Elanne has been a TV fan since a very young age and she is very excited to be able to shoot a TV series. "The role I play in the series can allow me to shine because the script was written very well. My friends who watched my performance were all very shocked as my role is very rough. They say the way I was sitting was more exagerrated than guys. Even Ron was afraid of me because on and off set I would be attacking him. He would say "Wah! So Elanne is this rough". Now when I am walking down the street people will call me by my character name "Yau Yau". The response from a TV series is very direct. However the reponse you get from movies is very different. Of course I hope to film more TV series."

While Elanne was shooting this series there were also negative gossip reports. It was reported that Ron Ng bullied her while they were shooting, but she didn't care about such reports. Elanne said "So if we play too closely then people will think we are together. when we are shooting we cannot constantly talk, the saliva would be dry too. It's not the truth, we are brothers. He doesn't treat me as a female and he is very nice to me. Just like a older brother. He knew that it was my first time shooting a TV series so would teach me where to stand etc. We had fun working together. When we are working we like to play "Rock, Paper, Scissors" and whoever wins can use a pair of chopsticks or a clothes hanger to hit the other person. "

The reporter asked if they have a chance to develop their relationship? Elanne immediately said "Ron isn't the type of guy I normally go for. Firstly, I won't choose a boyfriend from the industry. Also he is too handsome and this can make someone feel insecure."

The 2 new female additions in TVB series "Emergency Unit" the sequel to "The Academy" and "On The First Beat" have both been compared while viciously criticized by Netizens. Newcomer Leung Ka Kei who plays the role "Fa Yeuk Bo" is paired up with Sammul Chan in the series. Netizens made vicious comments such as criticizing her appearance and that her acting standard was very poor. The other new addition is Elanne Kong who is paired up with Ron Ng. Despite having a pair of big eyes and being a young male charmer, they felt she had too much negative news.

Netizens have called Leung Ka Kei's character Fa Yeuk Bo as "Yeuk Bo" (Refering to a medicine pot). She has become a hot topic to many forums and some netizens even speculated on whether she deliberately acted poorly to become a hot topic to grab attention. Many even felt that she must have had some connections in order to get into the industry. The second attack was that her acting was too exagerrated.

Cannot connect with Pak Kiu

Fa Yeuk Bo and Pak Kiu's (Sammul Chan) relationship only developed around episode 15. By episode 18, they were already at a stage where they were rushed to get married. Netizens felt that the relationship was developed too quickly. Also the scenes of them in the sea were deleted from the broadcast. Many feel that Fa Yeuk Bo ruined the image of Pak Kiu and that there was hardly any chemistry between them in the series.

Sammul Chan said "As an artist we will go online and check the responses. But as a newcomer nobody can be like Maggie Cheung Man Yuk from the start of their acting career. Being discussed about is good. Everybody must go through this stage".

At first Elanne Kong was also viciously criticized by netizens for her negative image. However People have grown to love Elanne's character and her acting is much more natural. Elanne's pretty looks attracted many young guys. When Elanne first joined the industry many would be attracted to her big eyes, long hair and pretty looks. She has gained many fans especially males. However there were also negative reports of her having plastic surgery. You could possibly say that Elanne looks like Gillian Chung and Charlene Choi combined together. Top of her face looks like Gillian, bottom part looks similar to Charlene. A netizen commented "Everytime I look at her face I seem to think she is another version of Gillian Chung. I don't think she has had plastic surgery."

Good Acting skills, idol standards

Elanne who plays active and cute Kong Yau Yau in the series has a fun online relationship with Ron's character. This particular character really suited her especially as newcomer in TV series and idolised by many. Ron Ng stated "Elanne is a very smart girl and pretty. People will always discuss about Pretty girls and I hope everyone will give her a chance so she can improve."

TVB’s continuation of The Academy and On the First Beat which has lead to a third Instalment Emergency Unit have given male leads Ron Ng and Sammul Chan an opportunity to take on major roles along with a new cast. The result has been satisfying for all.

Reporters have always criticized Ron Ng’s acting, from Triumph in the Skies to The Four it was seen that there wasn’t much improvement and his popularity as an artist decreased and wasn’t as lucky as the other artists who were “spoilt” by TVB. But after watching Emergency Unit, people have realised that Ron’s acting has improved and his character Chung Lap Man who became an undercover cop was performed outstandingly. He has begun to stop his impulsive temper and has turned another direction successfully losing his fixed image for the past years.

The turmoil of ‘magician salty pork hand’ has not yet ended, one more ‘salty pork hand’ appeared again in TVB. This time, there are photos as evidence, the involved individual can no longer deny.

Few days ago, TVB grand production was filming an outdoor scene in the garden, which included the two main leads, Charmaine Sheh and Tavia Yeung. At the site, it can be seen that Charmaine was very focused in her acting. However, Tavia Yeung, who had just won the Best Supporting Actress Award, was playing around crazily. Since Charmaine did not pay attention to her, she played with Charmaine’s female assistant. Although the appearance of this female assistant of Charmaine resembles that of a boy, she is a girl nevertheless. Tavia Yeung forcefully opened her outfit to view her chest, aggressively saying: “Let me see, what is there to be shy about!” Even though both were females, Tavia Yeung should be more reserved in the public!

Bobby Au Yeung is currently shooting Mainland TV series "天师钟馗" in Hengdian. He did not appear in his "Zhong Kui" character image with a beard (Note: Zhong Kui is a figure of Chinese mythology. Traditionally regarded as a vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings) instead he wore a costume that represented the human life form of Zhong Kui. He laughed and said Kam Chiu Kwan playing the role of Zhong Kui was too serious and was similar to Justice Bao. Bobby will make the role cuter and more relaxed. The reporter asked Bobby if he has plans to have children since he has been married for 13 years? He said that he enjoys his 2 people world with his wife and doesn't want children.

Playing the role "Zhong Kui" Relaxed

Reporter: Why did you accept the role to play "Zhong Kui"?
Bobby: Because I have previously worked with the Manager that invested in the series. In the past the character only appeared in a Taiwan series. Now that it is being filmed in Mainland, my Manager asked me to give it a shot.
Reporter: Have you watched the Taiwan Version?
Bobby: I haven't but it doesn't matter. My Manager told me to portray the role in a different sort of way as in relaxed and not too serious. Kam Chiu Kwan portrayed the role too serious and it was similar to role he played as Justice Pao. I only have 20% of the series where I appear with the Zhong Kui ghost vanquisher image with the beard. Most parts of the series I am in the human form costume. I hope to make the role more relaxed and fun.
Reporter: Are you afraid the audience is too familiar with the character Zhong Kui already?
Bobby: I completely don't have that kind of pressure.
Reporter: Do you have many fighting scenes in the series?
Bobby: I have read over 10 episodes of the script so far, there are many fighting scenes. But it's not martial arts more of computerised graphics. But when the Tree demon catches me, that's when I need to be attached to wires.

Married for 13 Years

Reporter: You have been married for 13 years, do you have any secret tips?
Bobby: Give each other more space and trust each other. If you lose trust minor things can cause arguments. Especially because I am in this industry.
Reporter: Will you occasionally be romantic?
Bobby: Romantic things, hmm.....When she see's me she is happy. That's the way it is a couple together in a very steady relationship.
Reporter: Did your wife come with you to shoot this series?
Bobby: My wife is in Hong Kong. I would be worried about her such as whether she feel bored or if she has eaten etc.
Reporter: You have been married for such a long time but still don't have any children. Do you have any plans in having children?
Bobby: I have never considered it because I enjoy the way my life is right now. It is very free, after work I will travel to different places with my wife and take a rest. Most important is that we have a similar understanding.

Exposes that Jessica Hsuan has many pursuers

Reporter: Recently a Taiwanese artist exposed that a Mainland Artist made his assistant crawl on the floor and then sat on his back treating him like a stool. Have you heard of such cases?
Bobby: Really? Who? China is very big, many artistes have different intentions. But I have never seen such a case before. To have their assistant crawl around on the floor is disgraceful.
Reporter: Earlier you filmed a series with Jessica Hsuan and have collaborated many times. Do you know if she has a new boyfriend?
Bobby: Jessica has a new boyfriend? She often jokes and asks me to find a nice guy for her. Jessica is beautiful and has many pursuers.
Reporter: TVB's Salty Pork Hand incident caused a lot of publicity didn't it?
Bobby: Is it me? Of Course it was me. I am the real SWEET Pork Hand Hahaha.
Reporter: Does you wife strictly control you?
Bobby: My wife doesn't control me. She trusts me 200%. I think the incident was really silly. If a female is being sexually harassed then why don't they report it to the police. To have a third party speak on your behalf is pointless. I think it would be self promotion rather than helping to promote a series. That is the entertainment circle for you, Positive and negative. Perhaps people don't like to focus on the positive news and prefer reading about negative news. People are nosey beings.

Louis Koo attended the 2009 Next TV Awards Presentation in Tsim Tsa Tsui today. When Louis presented an award to Tavia Yeung, Tavia Yeung praised that Louis is handsome, and acted like a young fan requesting a hug.

Talking about leaving the TV circle for 10 years, Louis expressed that he also wished to film TV series again: I also wish to, but still have to wait for two years later until I have time. For my collaboration, I would like to collaborate with Moses Chan. I think he has a high plasticity. How about filming a series about a robot, Moses Chan is the robot and I am the one that annihilates him?

Since A Step into the Past, Louis Koo has not filmed a TV series for 9 years. Yesterday Louis attended a TV awards ceremony, he revealed that he still has a 20 episodes contract with TVB, since it does not have a deadline, therefore it has been delayed till now and still not fulfilled. Although Louis has already entered the film industry, he frankly said he still enjoys filming series and will not focus on the price aspect.

Selects new subject matter and role

Louis frankly said he hopes to return to TVB in 2 years to film series, TVB has given him scripts before, but he wishes to have a new theme and a role he has never played. Will he film an ancient series? He indicated that he doesn't mind ancient drama. Louis said if he films series again, he hopes it can be a drama that airs only once a week like The File Of Justice I, then the audience can see him for a long time and not continuously for 5 days.

Louis said nowadays the extent TV viewers can accept and acknowledge has become broader, and they will not only watch housewife drama. Like the character Ada Choi recently plays in Superwoman, this role gives freshness. Louis also hopes there will be an opportunity to collaborate with Moses Chan, he even has an idea for the plot and said: "Moses will play a robot and I will be the one to annihilate him." Which female artist does he want to collaborate with? Louis expressed that he has not thought of this yet, he denied he is afraid of rumors, only because in recent years when filming movies he has worked more with male artists.

Moses laughingly said he looks like 'The Terminator'

About Louis publicly expressing his wish to work with him, Moses frankly said he is very happy and also admires Louis very much. He revealed that people have jokingly said he resembles Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator, so he doesn't mind playing a robot, even if he will be 'annihilated' by Louis it doesn't matter. Asked about on Club Sparkle, Bernice Liu acknowledged two romances, with him and also with Hawick Lau, Moses smilingly said they are only friends, colleagues, and both love to drink coffee.

As it had been 7 years since Andy last performed in Guangdong, thus there is a strong demand for tickets in Foshan, on the first day of ticket sales it set a record of the most expensive and cheapest tickets being sold out; thousands other tickets are also sold. Currently, only the $280 and $380 tickets are left for the Guangzhou show; the ticket sales for the Foshan show is also doing well, the most expensive and cheapest tickets are sold out within 3 days, as many fans in Guangzhou failed to buy good seats all rushed to buy tickets in Foshan, thus only few of the other tickets remaining. It’s a rare sight for the concerts as several fans bought the tickets for both concerts.

In 2002, Andy left a deep impression to Guangzhou fans by sing ‘Bing Yu’ with a water screen behind him, thus for this year concert tour which includes top notch production team, dancers whom accompanied him, collaborating for more than two years, their collaboration had reached the highest standard.

Andy will also performing the magic tricks he learned from Lu Chen, a “3 seconds transformation” magic trick with the dancer, he will also become the Chinese astronaut to get close contact with fans.
