Although the commercial took two days to finish, Miriam didn't feel tired at all because she likes outdoor shooting, in particular under the natural sunlight. She reckons morning is the best part of the day and a lot of people get so much energy early in the morning.

An orange vintage car was also a part of the commercial. When Miriam saw the car, she wanted to take a ride in it.

Elanne Kong is currently shooting a Mainland series in Hengdian. Ron Ng often teased her being fat and called her "Fay Lam". She went on a hell's diet plan and did not eat meat for 3 months. She also bought herself a bike so that she could ride it as part of an exercise routine.

Although many would consider Elanne having a reasonable body figure, she can easily put on weight and lose weight too. While she was filming TVB series "E.U" Ron Ng would often call her "Fay Lam". Therefore she didn't forget to watch her diet while shooting Mainland series "男兒本色" in Hengdian. Although she stated that she did not eat meat for 3 months, she still couldn't help herself to the seafood. She laughed and said "My friend suggested this diet plan for me . I am not allowed to eat pork, beef, chicken and duck. I have been on a diet for 3 months. My chin has become more angled and my skin is much healthier. I hope Ron won't tease me anymore." She even started to drink diet teas which made her go to the toliet often. Her colleagues mistook her for having Gastroenteritis.

Purchases a pink bike to do exercise

Due to the internet connection in Mainland being unstable, Elanne wasn't able to use her favourite chat programme MSN. She found it hard to past time but eventually came up with a plan. She said "In my spare time I will ride the bike I purchased which is also in my favorite color pink. I will also play badminton. I have a lot of free time when I am not filming, so I will do exercise."

Sheren Tang, Wayne Lai, Ron Ng, Nancy Wu and the cast of "Rosy Business" visted an Elderly Service Centre, handing out white rice. It was announced that the series had average viewing ratings of 30 points, peaking at 35 points. As for TVB accepting audience's feedback and changing the endings in recent years. Sheren disagreed with it and considers the ending to already be perfect. Even if the ending was changed, there will still be netizens that may not be satisfied. As long as they have done their best that is successful enough. It doesn't neccessary need to be a happy ending. Sheren also feels there is no need to film a sequel. The best thing would be that the cast get to collaborate again in other TVB dramas.

Wayne Lai started his career acting minor roles , due to his enthusiasm and hard work his acting skills received high praises. His popularity gradually increased and he was awarded best supporting actor in last year's TVB Anniversary. TVB decided to sign him up as one of their own "son's". He has since played lead roles for the series "Pages of Treasures"" and "Rosy Business."

Since becoming a main lead, it is said that TVB required him to change his image, from a normal mid aged man to a handsome man. He is ordered to only go to high class stores to maintain his "Siu Sang" image. The reporter discovered Wayne in Central buying clothes in brand stores and even in a high class supermarket. It appears that there is a big difference in Wayne's lifestyle. In the past Wayne's selling point has always been his acting talent rather than his image.

A source stated "Before TVB promoted Wayne, of course they didn't manage his lifestyle. But because the company is promoting him now and signed him up as their own "Son". They will certainly be mantaining his image. It is said the company wants him to focus more on his appearance. For example, to wear brand clothing and to go to high class supermarkets. That way he matches the "Siu Sang" image. We know that he didn't become rich overnight, but he must obey to his orders."

The reporter discovered Wayne in Central the other day and he looked very handsome. He went to the supermarket "City'super", brand stores Lane Crawford and Armani Exchange. When he discovered the reporter he immediately smiled and left. The reporter approached him and asked whether he was having a makeover? He only smiled and didn't respond. But when asked about the series "Rosy Business" he replied "This series has a lot of inner emotion scenes. I hope you will tune in to watch it." Although Wayne leads a richer lifestyle, he has not changed one bit, still the same person without an attitude.

Moses only said: "Every one of them are good."

There's a magazine that said a slimming company signed with Moses for "HKD$20,000 to lose 1 pound". Moses denied: "I did not receive any news about this. If it's like that, then things can change pretty quicky." He doesn't want to lose weight because of an advertisement, actually he wants to train himself to shoot for a "big man" role in a movie. He said: "In the previous year, I thought that I was really good that I could release a photobook, but as I get older, I'm becoming more shy."

Tavia Yeung expressed that filming "Beyond The Realm of Conscience" has a lot of pressures, causing her to get pimples on her forehead, her belly is bursting out and weight is increasing.

Choi revealed that she started receiving her immunization jabs two years ago and has taken three jabs since. Any artiste remuneration for the project is the least of her concerns as she is more than happy to support such a worthy cause. Believing in the cause of her job, Choi had been recommending her female friends to get vaccinated. Her Twins partner, Gillian Chung, has also completed the immunization treatment.

Having previously expressed that she wanted five or six children in future, Choi said her plans have changed now due to her busy work schedule. Currently, she sets her target at having two at most.

Choi commented that though she has no plans to retire after marriage or giving birth, she would want to take on less work so as to spend more time with her babies to watch them grow.

She shared, "I am afraid that I might no be able to handle but I would really love to watch and nurture them personally. Even though hired assistance may be an option, the job of a mother is not entirely something that you can ask others to do for you."

The series "Beyond the Realm of Conscience", "Oh, My Darling" and "Pearl in the Palm" have all temporarily stopped filming, the cast were arranged to participate together in a memorial for the victims who died from the SiChuan Earthquake.

Eason Chan took rumors as a joke

Last year, Eason participated in the SiChuan charity events, he said: "Before, I did not have strong spirits for my country, but now I am beginning to experience that I am a Chinese person. In the past year, I have always been concerned on the conditions in SiChuan, last year I donated many blankets and daily necessities for the victims." He expressed that the Taiwan Earthquake took 6 or 7 years to fully recover, so the SiChuan will definitely need greater support from everyone."

Eason attended Kay Tse's concert earlier as her guest, the two were said to have been flirting on stage. Asked if he felt upset about this? Eason said: "The report is very unnecessary, it's all just imaginations, rumors are just imaginations.

But, there has been many news reports about this, there was even rumors earlier that I was gonna divorce my wife Hilary Tsui."

I have to change the way I talk and the way I act. Since I am still filming an ancient series, I haven't got much time to do my preparation for my role. " Linda has been watching the "Sunday Report" as a learning reference as recommended by a lot of her colleagues. She told reporter "The program talks about an office lady who goes to Lan Kwai Fong once or twice a week, and there is nothing special about it.
