Khalil Fong held his "Timeless Live in Hong Kong 2009" in three consecutive days in Wan Chai. Last night, it was his first show, implementing less talk and more songs to the audience. His parents and several friends came to show their support including rumored girlfriend Fiona Sit. Fiona attended with her other rumored boyfriend Jaycee Chan.

But Fiona sat with Stephanie Cheng and Pakho Chau, while Jaycee sat with another friend. Later when Reporters requested that the two take pictures together, Jaycee embarrassingly denied, but Fiona was generous and stood up for the picture. Seeing this Jaycee also went along and took the picture with Fiona, but afterwards he quickly left. Seems like Jaycee wanted to greet his other friend. When the show started, the two did not avoid to sit with each other, but Jaycee left during the encore.

At Khalil's concert, he brought several different musical instruments with him including a piano, electric guitar and a guitar. Also he did not change his outfit at all during the concert except in the encore. Khalil sang many of the golden songs by his idol Michael Jackson, using "Bad" for the opening. In addition, he sang a few Cantonese songs and many other Mandarin and English songs. Khalil frankly said on stage that he's very nervous because its the first time he's singing them in public. Although the concert did not have much fancy designs, but the atmosphere was still very lively. Female fans shouted loudly praising that he was handsome, Khalil heard this and smiled: "I always hear someone say I'm handsome, what do you mean? It is wrong!" During the encore, he ran off the stage and towards the audience to shake hands with them, leading to a mob of fans running up towards the front.

At 11pm last night, his friends included Eric Tsang, Nick Cheung, Fat mom (Maria Cordero) etc were all at the hospital. It was planned a press conference would be held at midnight, but the media waited till 2am before they were told David had died.

David came from a poorfamily background, he is the forth among five brothers. He left school at the age of 13, found a job as an "extra" for Shaw's Brother when he was 15. Afterwards, he moved over to work for Golden Harvest for a few years. In 1978, he was discovered by Danny Lee who gave him a part in the movie "Final Justice". playing the role called (大傻), hence his nick name. As David was tall and look fierce, he always acted as villain, he did over few hundreds movies in his life time, included "Prison On fire", "God Of Gamblers" and in 2007 he acted in "C+Detective" which was his last film. Among his TV series, he acted in "The Vigilante In The Mask" and "A Taste Of Love".

David and his family live in Sai Kung. He was elected as the representative of Nam Wai village in 2003 and was re-elected 5 times till 2007. In 2004, he was diagnosed as having terminal nose cancer, and it has spread to his lungs. After chemotherapy, he was stable for a while, but he had lost his taste bud and could not secrete saliva and his right ear only had 2% hearing. David 's illness has deteriorated since last year and his cancer cells had spread to his livers. He died weighing only 100 pounds.

Eric was by his bedside the other night. He told reporter he went to the hospital straight after he attended an event. David was already unconscious; friends at the hospital all said that they couldn't belive David had gone downhill so quickly. They were hoping he could last till the morning. Two nights ago, Alan Tam went to see David at 8 pm, straigt from the airport. David was able to talk, the doctor gave his a morphine injection and said he might not regain consciousness again.

Eric said David didn't want to sleep for 24 hours before he died. Maybe he didn't want to go. The doctor didn't want him to suffer, therefore he gave him the injection to release his pain and suffering. David couldn't talk afterwards, Eric said to him to let go. Reporter asked if David was very thin? Eric said, not too bad and the whole process was quick. Eric reckoned sometime it is better to go quickly and peacefully instead of suffering for months. He revealed that last time he saw David, he was full of beans, saying "Electrocute that guy (cancer), he can't compete with me." Eric said David died very peacefully and he was still a big guy. Eric has asked a Buddhist monk to performed a Buddhist death ritual by hie bed side.

In fact the doctor had stopped giving him any chemotherapy since last week because he knew about his prognoses. David felt he had nothing else to do in hospital, insisted to discharge home to visit his friends and family. Two days ago, he developed a fever, and was re-admitted to the hospital. David was most worried about leaving his 10 years old son. Talking about his funeral, Eric expressed that all his friends would help out if his family agreed. Michael Mui was in America when he heard the news, he also said he would help with the funeral arrangement when he comes back.

Eric and David have known each other for a long time. Following the movie "Greatest Lover", they were even closer friends. David was a member in the star football team, Eric said he was a loyal friend; although he looked fierce, he was caring and had a very kind heart. A lot of people in the entertainment circle always went to him for help if they had any problem, such as losing a car. If the car was still around in Hong Kong, David would find it. Eric disclosed that David liked eating and drinking in the mainland the past few years as he was busy working there. It may well be the among of alcohol he consumed that had affected his health. Eric said a meeting will be held tomorrow to decide if Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild will organize his funeral. It will be a Buddhist ceremony.

There have been media reports that the quality of this year's Miss Hong Kong is below standard. Sandy Lau was reported having a "broke back" relationship with Winnie Ma. Talking about a magazine recently reported that Candy has expressed her love to Sandy in the internet, Sandy responded "I am used to it, this kind of reports have been around for 3 months now. I know Candy didn't express her love in the net, we are all good friends, there is no "Broke Back" relationship between us. (Will you two develop an affair?) I am not a lesbian, I like the opposite sex." (But Candy said she won't rule out liking females?) That I don't know, we never talked about it." (Do you fancy her?) Noway, I will never fancy a girl."

Sandy said "I never wrote such thing in the internet. I only said I missed Sandy as a friend. I like her being open and friendly. I was expressing my friendship to her, she likes guys, so do I." Sandy also disclosed that she fancies a male worker, and the rest of the contestant all know about it. I can only say at the moment I am not a lesbian, but I can't guarantee that in 10 or 20 years time."

Sandy was being criticized after making such remark. She posted in the internet to apologize to MJ's family and his supporters, saying "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, hope you forgive me."

Sonjia expressed that during filming, she had interactions with the baby daily, giving her a huge sense of motherhood: "If in the future I don't have a baby of my own, I would adopt one! (It was said that you treat your mother as an assistant?) My mom loves me, I bring her to the events because she likes to come along, sometimes she would help me carry things!" She expressed that in the meantime she does not have intentions of hiring an assistant because she felt that the work hours of an assistant is too long. As for Roger, he denied that his wife Cindy Au is pregnant again: "It's fake! I'm going to wait until my son goes to school first before we consider having another one, maybe 1 or 2 more years. Just one more baby is enough!" He clarified that his wife has recently gotten very thin.

Recently young people using drugs and smoking have become a serious issue. Hong Kong entertainment industry has also once had several artistes being involved with drugs, throwing away their future out the window. For the entertainment industry's reputation, Idols expressed "SAY NO" to drugs. Commercial Radio invites a group of Idol pop singers to perform a song to reduce the level of drug use by replacing the lyrics of a song to make it an anti-drug song. As William So, Jill Vidal, Kelvin Kwan and Deep Ng have all been involved in drugs, would they have an opportunity to perform this anti-drug song? Would their participation be the first sign of their come back? Commercial Radio expressed that as long as the record companies can arrange it, anyone is welcomed.

Last night Commercial Radio held it's 50 anniversary dinner, the assistant general manager expressed to the Media that they have a series of big plans ahead of them. Joining with CRHK 903 Radio and Narcotics Division, they plan to set up an "Idol Drug-Free" campaign. The main focus is to invite singers to choose a song of their choice and replace the lyrics of the chorus part with their own drug-free related words and then to perform that song as the new anti-drug song. Afterwards, they plan to invite audience to re-sing that song and do a voice recording.

Not only is this campaign trying to rebuild Idol's healthy image, but also request young people to participate in the sing along, giving them an opportunity to "SAY NO" to drugs, engraving this image deep into them. Currently the artistes who agree to participate in this includes Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung, Hins Cheung and Ivana Wong.

Asked about the artistes who once were involved with drugs, would they have the chance to be part of this? Because they have changed, will this performance be the first sign of their come back? Assistant General Manager of Commercial Radio expressed: "The most important is the views of the record company, they will not have a biased view and will welcome all artistes to participate, definitely will welcome all of them." This means that artistes like Jill Vidal, Kelvin Kwan, Deep Ng and William So, all have the opportunity to sing this anti-drug song.

But will their record companies approve of this? Reporters contacted Jill Vidal's record company Amusic yesterday, the spokesperson Ms. Sum expressed that they temporarily do not have any arrangements for Jill and does not plan to allow Jill into the recording studio to record songs. She must first take classes and lead a better life before there can be considerations. Whether there will be an opportunity to sing in the future, it is currently at a premature stage.

As for Kelvin Kwan's record company Universal Music Group, the spokesperson Mr. Wong expressed that they did not receive an invitation from Commerical Radio yet, so they have not made any arrangements. Currently Kelvin is in Hong Kong working hard in learning guitar, composing songs and if there is a chance for a comeback, there is no confirmation.

There were over 100 artists attended the function, including Jacky Cheung, Alan Tam, Miriam Yeung, Joey Yung and Charlene Choi etc. Eason and Kay work for the same music company, but they arrived at the function separately so that reporters could not take pictures of them being seen together. Moreover, Kay was by her husband's side all evening, showing people that they are still a loving couple.

Eason told reporters "It is a nonsense to suggest that rumor, we are just friends. At first I didn't mind that much, after all its only gossip, but it is getting out of hand now, and it MUST stop, this joke is getting to far. (It was rumored that Denise Ho started it.) I am sure she didn't."

After Kay left the cocktail party, she went straight to do a show in Wan Chai, wearing a bare back dress. She also told reporters "I am sure someone had created this rumor on purpose, it has to stop." Reporter made a remark that this love saga has involved 5 people, Kay sounded deflated saying "Nonsense, this is not news anymore, it is a made up story, like a TV series, no feel."

Many Hong Kong Movie award winners have said when they become actors they become passionate. When their acting reaches an established level they recieve recognition. But when the market is bad, they can only wait for luck. Charmaine Sheh is a Miss Hong Kong 2nd Runner up and also an actress. In TVB's 2006 Anniversary Award Ceremony she was awarded a double and recieved the TV Queen title. Reaching the top of her career, she was still shooting TV series one after the other. The results are not disappointing either. When someone gets famous they also become a topic of discussion whether its about rumors, personality and not getting along with others.

She said "If you achieve alot you will also lose many things. There are advantages and disadvantages. The first thing is that you can maintain your popularity. But the disadvantage is that many of the things being said are untrue. It is quite confusing. You either love it or hate it. I have no control over it, so let it be. If I haven't been in the news lately then thats okay, If you're discussing about me then say what you like. I cannot do anything about it".

Charmaine has been in the industry for 12 years. Society and technology has also improved. She expressed that she has recently injured her lower back. As a reporter, I was afraid that extreme discussions may increase her movement and affect her back pain.

Miss Hong Kong 1997 Charmaine Sheh has become a popular TVB Fa Dan to date. Currently TVB series "You're Hired has peaked ratings of 33 points. She has also completed the shooting for TVB Grand production "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" and taken a 1 month holiday. While taking time off she would be able to do things she didn't have time to do such as spending 3 hours for a magazine shoot, have dinner with friends she hasn't seen for a year, stay at home to watch TV and take a flight to Hawaii to visit her Mom etc. "I cannot totally rest because I have too many social gatherings with friends. Hong Kong is a small place, yet the Paparazzi's are too much. Especially during this century, don't you think there aren't any celebrities? Because of the way they are treated by the paparazzi's. How can there be any left?

The First step in becoming an actress

Charmaine made the first step to becoming an actress. "When they first asked me if I was interested in auditioning to become an actress, I didn't think about it and said [Of Course I will try]. Why did I want try? Actually I wanted to try a lot of new things. The Miss Hong Kong Pageant was over, yet I recieved an award. Would I need do charity work everyday? Even if I do, it would just be for 1 year. I was just feeling very curious and playful when I filmed my first few TV series. People said that my acting was poor but I had already given my best. I had limited knowledge of acting and no acting experience. That's why it was average, I needed to have more experience to gain the acting skills. I felt that maybe this industry wasn't right for me and that maybe I should change industries. I had these thoughts even though I already signed a 3 year artist contract with TVB. One year I would shoot 100 episodes of TV series. How would I have time to think about these things? I would just go home and sleep. When I hadn't yet finished shooting a series, I would need to shoot another one after. It was continuous. The company did not give up on me. They offered me many opportunties to play different roles, so that I was able to discover which type of role could make me shine".

My personality is not suitable for this industry. In the past I was very quiet. I never had the ability to perform. When I was studying they asked me to perform in a school play. I said No, will people laugh at me? Perhaps it was because I studied in a girls school, the best thing would be not to approach or look at me".

Do My Best

In "Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain" she played the role of Miu Yeuk Lan. She stated that she only had to act weak. But in "Return of the Cuckoo" Kwan Hou was just like being herself. While shooting "Country Spirit" she realised she was able to get into character as Sun Fung. "I am very lucky that all the series I had accepted to fim had good storylines. Especially [War and Beauty], I had a lot of fun. The scenes consisted mainly of inner emotions". She did her best to act in those scenes. While the paparazzi's were reporting which cast members didn't get along. "[War and Beauty] I don't remember much about that now. Do you have anything else to talk about? Why would you not get along with so many people? These things I have no control over and I will not care. I am already controlling things I have control over which is to portray my roles well. Also how to enjoy my time when I am filming and making others around me feel comfortable. I will not handle anything regarding TV ratings or any news reports".

High Definition

TVB have already entered the High Definition TV century. Charmaine says "Yes it's quite scary. There are advantages and disadvantages. The whole picture looks 3D and more clearer. It looks more beautiful but the lighting technician has a very important role in this. If you have pimples they will appear clearly on the screen. I don't really take care of that, but I will do facials. It's very important to have enough rest. But you will not have enough time to rest while filming. Sometimes when I take off my makeup, I will put on a face mask.

Recently, the filming of the ancient grand-production, Beauty Scheme, is coming to an end soon. Huayi's 'black-horse', Feng Shao Feng, acted the subversive, manly Lau Cheung, and together with Myolie Wu, they portray out a Han-dynasty palace legend. Their love was filled with obstacles, but that did not obstruct Feng Shao Feng from giving all out for love. He, whom chooses his beau over the country, finally fulfills Myolie Wu's lifelong happiness.

Feng Shao Feng Emulates Lau Cheung's 'His Beau Over The Country'

In Beauty Scheme, Lau Cheung is born into the royal family. He bore on the heavy responsiblity of making the country prosperous. However, he fell in love with his enemy's younger sister, Lui Yue. From then on, he did not know how his love for her came about, but it just went deeper and deeper. Following after that, their relationship journey was filled with schemes, misunderstandings, and a few seperation occasions. Lau Cheung, whom was a royal duke, even met with protests from his army of soldiers. In the difficult dilemma between the country and his love, he chose to give up his power, and used his love to give his wife a promise of lifelong happiness. When asked about Shao Feng's feeling of acting this role, he admitted, "In life, having a soulmate is sufficient. Lau Cheung found his soulmate. Why would he care about the country?" Having the straightforward and sentimental Feng Shao Feng to portray the straightforward and sentimental Lau Cheung, this certainly makes people look forward to it.

Myolie Wu is Blissful in Reel and Real Life

Since The Drive of Life, Feng Shao Feng and Myolie Wu got together once again, and act out this pair of lovers in the turbulent times. It can be considered to be an easier task for them. However in the beginning, a kissing scene caused both of them some trouble. In order to achieve the romantic effect requested by the script, the crew hung up the white cloth all around the filming venue. The director asked Shao Feng to kiss Myolie with the cloth in between, when the cloth is being blown up. In the end, due to the problems caused by the fan, the cloth was either always being blown too fast or too slow, and it even got blown sideways. Therefore, everyone could only keep re-taking the scene. Whenever the gentlemanly Shao Feng saw that the cloth wasn't in its appropriate position, he had to stop himself at the last minute, and he almost fell a few times because of that. Being very respectful towards his co-star, no wonder Myolie is the most blissful woman in the Beauty Scheme cast in both reel and real life.

Despite Esther Lam losing out for the Miss Hong Kong title, her popularity is still increasing. Her profile is ranked high in the popularity chart, close to Fa Dan's such as Tavia Yeung and Yoyo Mung. Also ranking above Charmaine Sheh and Myolie Wu on the official TVB site. Clarence Hui Yuen, Nat Chan and EEG Executive Mani Fok all praised her having potential to have a career in the entertainment circle. There were claims that Nat Chan and TVB both have intentions to sign her up as an artist.

Nat Chan said "Am I competing with TVB to sign her up? I am not that powerful. TVB should be the first to sign her up. When you join Miss Hong Kong you will have an contract. If she doesn't want to sign up with TVB then I will consider to sign her as an contract artist with my company". (What do you admire about her?) "She has high EQ and has very good speaking skills. She was able to answer all her questions in the pageant very well. The reason she lost is probably because she isn't as pretty as the Top 3. However she does have potential to become a host. It proves that you don't need to have looks for the industry, rather the talent. Look at me, I am old and still working in the industry".

Clarence Hui Yuen praises Esther having potential

Clarence Hui Yuen expressed that Esther shouldn't feel pity in losing out. He praised her having potential and that a career in the entertainment circle would be suitable for her. But when the reporter asked if he would sign her as an artist? He said that he doesn't have such intentions at the moment. Also he hasn't worked as a manager for a long time. EEG Executive Mani Fok praised Esther being very calm and has potential to be a host.

"I don't know, these 2 days I have only been eating and sleeping. I would like to Thank the seniors for giving me approval". (Will you sign up with Nat Chan or TVB?) "I can't answer that, but the company have given me a lot of opportunties". (The viewers complained that you weren't crowned?) "I feel the result was right and fair".
