Michael Miu was asked by Sandra about his female co-stars that he collaborated with, Michael expressed: "I had little sparks with Anita Mui, it was before 'Fragrant River Flower Moon Light (香江花月夜). The person who I had most sparks with is wife Jamie Chik, (How about Anita Yuen?) After I collaborate with anyone, of course there will be feelings, but I will completely be out of it after."

Raymond Lam was once said to have done plastic surgery, he laughed and said that all along he did not know if he was single eyelid or double eyelid. But he's not sure if its because in recent years he had been filming too many anicent series that his eyes were stretched out too much, or put eyeliner on his eyes too much, but he felt that his own eye skin had become more firm and better.

Among all the male co-stars, Jessica Hsuan has collaborated the most with Bowie Lam, Bobby Au Yeung and Louis Koo. If there was an opportunity, which male actor would she want to collaborate with the most? [Translated by: aZnangel]

Gallen Lo

"Ever since "Golden Faith," we have not had the chance to work together. Besides, the chances of us working together is very uncertain. I think he might immigrate to Beijing? Everytime I re-watch GF, I would think it would be good to collaborate again. Since a great (acting) partner is very hard to encounter."

Moses Chan

"He is an actor that I would like to try and collaborate with even though we never worked together. However, under my observations at the studio, he is a very serious person at work and he is a very hardworking male artiste. I've filmed series for over ten years, and the male actors are usually the same person..."

Damian Lau

"He gives me the feeling of a very father figure, and he also sees me as a daughter. He frequently tells me about his life experiences. From me, he sometimes sees the younger version of himself, and he would talk to me about it. He hopes that I don't commit the wrongs he did. Damian Gor is a very professional actor. If new actors have the chance to learn from him, it is basically, "Giving you money and putting it in your pocket." It is very comfortable filming with him, even though we only collaborated once. I hope we still have the chance to play father and daughter. As for playing a couple, I am presently okay with it because Damian Gor is very cool!"

Note: The article titles : Jessica Hsuan a "big woman", don't love "little man". Most of it is about upcoming series Just Love II.

Charlie Yeung and Gigi Leung are the ambassadors for "HER2-type breast cancer" awareness. The other day, they were having the photo session for the promotion. Both of them wore very similar outfit as if they were twins. They are hoping this promotion would help to raise the morale for the sufferers.

Charlie urges all women in Hong Kong to pay more attention to their own body, in particular, to detect breast cancer early. Gigi also reminds all the women to have regular body check, specially their breasts so that treatment can be started as early as possible if breast cancer is identified. She also stressed that women should have all the information about breast cancer and system in place to support sufferers. It's "mother's Day" today, Gigi and Charlie suggest that it would be more meaningful for people to donate money to the treatment and medical care for "HER2 breast cancer" patients instead of buying presents for their mothers.

She commented "I sleep very well in the plane or even in a car. I have thought about having a car as my home." She was asked if she has a lot of pressure. She replied "Of course I do. Nowadays, it is not easy to sell records. I was told by the company that this time, more people have placed the order than my last record. My record has reached the"platinum" sale so I am much happier now."

Joey disclosed that she will have more shows. The reporter asked if she wants to be more visible to retain her "music queen" title. Joey said she has never thought about doing things like that.
