Joey Yung recently announced her forthcoming tenth anniversary concert will be held at 4th October 2009 for two shows. Yesterday, after ticket launch, the tickets were sold out within ten minutes. Besides feeling happy, Joey also warned fans who did not manage to obtain a ticket to be careful of fake tickets.

Joey Yung will be holding her two concert shows (Joey Yung Perfect Ten Live 2009) at Hong Kong Cultural Centre and tickets were sold out in less than 10 minutes showing her status as Queen Of Cantopop. No wonder her company is willing to spend few million dollars on her.

EEG received many phone calls from fans as to whether Joey will add more shows to her concert. But because of the venue of the concert, the chances of adding more shows is slim. EEG explained that the reason Hong Kong Cultural Centre was choosen is because the place is very meaningful to Joey. Joey won a karaoke competition there at the age of 15 which was her first step into entering the music industry, thus it is the most suitable venue for the concert.

When Joey heard about the sold out tickets in ten minutes, she was shocked. But she was worried that fans who did not manage to get a ticket will be conned by fake tickets. Joey said, "I hope that you all will celebrate my ten years together with me, so please do not mark up the tickets. I also want to warn my fans to be careful when someone is selling the tickets, as I'm afraid it may be a con."

The current babysitter is not bad at all though, I plan to have her help me out for another year. (Your husband suggested you focus on taking care of the baby?) I have no experience in caring for babies, I'm always afraid to help him cut his nails." Will she reduce her amount of jobs for her son? She teared up again: "I turned down some concert tours because the rehearsal time is just too much."

“Yeah, this year has been a very happy time for me. The music company has given me many opportunities, giving me the chance to hold my first concert at such a big stage like the Coliseum.

Since the results are really good, the celebratory function held for me was also very grand, shouting everyone to eat fish maw. The company also promised that if I can achieve even better results next time, maybe we can eat “abalone/ginseng/shark fin/fish maw” meal. For the chance of eating some good food, my colleagues and I will have to work hard! Haha! (So how will you celebrate?) If the DVD reaches three platinum sales, I’ll hold a T-back party, haha!” Even Mani (Fok) said she supports Raymond holding a T-back party, will even call Ah Sa to attend!

Wants to rap in the new album

Since Raymond has achieved good results in music, he should spend more time in it, what are his future plans? “I’ve already started to record my Mandarin album. Hopefully I can try new things in it, especially rap songs. I’ve always thought it’s easier to rap in Mandarin, plus I’ve always really wanted to try these type of songs. So I’m really looking forward to the upcoming album. Normally, I sing romantic songs. Hopefully I can show everyone a different side of me. Also after the concert I realised I don’t have enough dance songs, since the atmosphere will be a lot more exciting if I’m dancing and singing on stage. The audience will also immerse into the excitement better, so I need to make more fast songs.”

Re-entering the movies industry

With great results in the music and television industry, actually in movies he hasn’t spend much time in it. However, now that he has consolidated his work in music and TV, Raymond wants to enter the movie industry again with ambition. “Recently I’m in discussions on two movies, even though they’re not confirmed yet, but there are high chances that they’ll go ahead. They should be filmed this year. I haven’t filmed a movie for a long time, of course I want to film a “Siu” studio movie, because recently I’ve seen how successful the “Laughing Gor: Turning Point” movie is. So I also want to film movies as well!”

“Even though I want to film movies, I hope my manager doesn’t accept ancient costume movies for me! Normally I film a lot of ancient costume series, so I don’t want to portray those type of characters again. I would most love to film police/cop genre movies, because I haven’t had many chances to portray these type of characters. If I have the chance, I would also like to work with actors with “Best actor” calibre, such as Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang etc, will definitely learn a lot. Actually since I’m such good friends with Ron Ng, also hope to work with him in a movie!”

Reluctant to film Taiwanese dramas

Raymond Lam is very popular in the HK entertainment industry, his series are also very popular overseas. He also has many fans in South East Asian countries. Has Raymond thought about crossing borders, like his colleagues (in the same company) Charlene Choi and Ken Hung, and go to Taiwan to film a series? “I also want to film a Taiwan series. Even though I’ve heard Ah Sa said it’s very hard work. But I can learn more. Actually, there have been people who invited me to film a series in Taiwan, but I already have many series to film in HK, so don’t have time. Plus HK is my home, so HK is my primary market. Maybe after I win “TV king”, then I will think about developing my career in other places. haha!” So he doesn’t even desire to film a Taiwan drama, seems like he wants the “TV king” a lot!

Satisfied with his concerts

Actually it’s not easy to be an actor and singer. Now Raymond says he even wants to enter the movie industry, when will he have time to rest? Even the iron man will need rest! “Of course I want to take a holiday to go places and rest, recharge my batteries, but at this moment for me, it is a luxury. I don’t even have enough time to sleep, so having a few days off travelling overseas is out of the question! So once the upcoming Mandarin album is released, I really want to travel to many countries for promotion. The best will be to go back to my hometown. And also go to Shanghai, Beijing. Then I can have some leisure time as well as work, spend some time sightseeing different places!”

“If I have the chance I also want to be like Joey Yung and William Chan, going overseas to Europe for two weeks to learn dancing. Even though at the moment I don’t have time to sleep, but the excitement from the recently held concerts has overwhelmed all my fatique. I feel very satisfied, so even if I don’t get any holidays for a while it’ll be ok.”

This issue also has a column where various stars tell a ghost story…..

Ox tail soup

The ghost story I’ve heard about, happens in an university…..
In an univeristy dorm, the girls lived in the upper level, the boys lived in the lower level. There was a couple, every night the girl will use a rope to carry a jug of ox tail soup down to her boyfriend to drink. Until the summer holidays, the boy went travelling with his family. Afterwards he returned to the dorm, the girl kept sending him soups to drink even though he was not there. But during daytime, he could not find the girl. So he was curious and asked around. Then he discovered his girlfriend had already died from a car accidenct while he was on holidays.

From the column “Stars Choice – where Charlene Choi talks about his concert CD”!

“Raymond Lam’s recent concerts are definitely very successful. I was also one of the guests, and his fans were very passionate. I think Raymond can sing romantic songs very well, plus he’s also very handsome. So I will faint if I look at him for more than 10 seconds! Haha! This concert CD not only contains his well-known songs, it also contains our English duet “In love with you”. I also like this song a lot, hopefully everyone will support it!”So… who made the ox tail soup?

Christine Ng attended the new series's costume fitting today. In this drama, she will portray a "warrant queen".

And she hoped she could have a better role such as a role that portrayed as a junior role. Mentioning about investing, she said she had some knowledge in the stock market. And she admitted that she was a conservative investor. The new financial crisis had not affected her very much.

Miriam dated Real Ting for 2 and a half years. Recently they were being found out to have registered for marriage in U.S. Miriam admitted at the Solar Project event yesterday about this. RTHK specially prepared flowers for her and fetched her with red umbrella. Eason Chan, Alan Tam and Joey Yung congratulated her. Miriam's fans brought banners written "Support Miriam Yeung Mrs Ting Forever".

Miriam thanked Andy Lau for leading this news to be exposed because she also wouldn't want to hide such good news. Reporters called Miriam Mrs Ting and she said sweetly, "It's better call me Miss Yeung. I'm still not used to the term Mrs Ting. We are living separately in our own house. Everything is still the same after we've got married. I think I'll only have the feeling of being married after the customary and banquet next year."

When asked if she got married because she's pregnant, she replied, "I used to be a nurse, of course not! It was impromptu to get married in U.S, fits my Teddy Girl character perfectly. During one night we went to play Mummy(an indoor ride in Universal Studios) and I sprained my neck. Then he told me, 'Chin Wah, you've said before, if heaven gives us 60 years to live, when we reach 30, it'll be a countdown of life. We should treasure each other more. Can I hold you and walk on with you?' I was very touched at that moment and agreed to his proposal on the spot. He drove me to Las Vegas immediately and it was already 1.30am. Because we were in a rush, we got into a jewellery shop to buy rings. In the end, mine was too loose and his was too tight. But I cried at the moment when he put on the ring for me."

Yesterday Charlene Choi arrived at Metro to promote for her new song "Survivor" (Previously Known as "Collectors"). "Survivor" is a song about a girl who is hurt from a playboy who deceived her. One part of the lyrics was: "you are competitive, a hobby of collecting from four adventures, a lover given to you, you treat it as a collection.... you are good at acting. Putting your two feet on several boats." That line makes people think of Edison Chen. Ah Sa said: "This song is talking about many people's stories. There is an encouragement sense, but I don't want to label this song on anyone's name."

As for Andy Lau hiding his marriage and is criticized for that, Ah Sa strongly supported him: "I hope that everyone could give artistes some space and that this incident could be taken over by events. Andy has contributed a lot over the years, besides Jackie Chan, Andy Lau is the other Hong Kong artist that Westerners know about."

Towards Miriam Yeung rushing old love Ronald Cheng to quickly tie the knot, Ah Sa said sweetly: "I am happy to see that Miriam has found her Mr. Right, I am happy for her. Congratulations to her." Ah Sa expressed that it is not the time for her to think about marriage yet, she wants to take it slowly. Asked if she would be doing a lightening marriage like Miriam? Ah Sa said: "Nope. I don't have time now to think about romance." Asked if she would announce her love relationship? She expressed that she will not do it intentionally, she doesn't want to mix work and her private life together."

Famous model Gaile Lok and Leon Lai were rumored numerous times to have gotten married secretly, but the stars in the rumor have always denied. But, the couple were caught by the Media last week that they already did get married last year March 9th in Las Vegas in the United States. Leon although did admit indirectly, but yesterday his other half personally admitted that she is "Mrs. Lai". But, Gaile was unwilling to respond to the other secret marriages that emerged, her reaction was the same as her husband Leon, looks like Mrs. Lai is pretty obedient!

Yesterday Gaile Lok was at the Haagen-Dazs ice cream shop for an event. When asked about her marriage, Gaile expressed that usually she's quite nervous about it, first she made a confession: "Sorry! I was also surprised, I felt the same way as you all, I haven't gotten a full understanding of the marriage myself. People can ask me, but I won't have a response. If I don't want to response, I will raise my hand and signal my answer. " As to all the new titles "Mrs. Lai", "Ah So", Gaile could not help but reveal a smile, she said: "You all treat me as 'Mrs. Lai', I am already very happy. You can just call me Gaile, but this is my first time being called as 'Ah So'!"

Chemistry with Husband, both refuses to answer

Reporters later asked a chain of questions including how the proposal was like, was it a surprise marriage, what are the couple's plans after marriage, how does it feel to be a wife, will they have a baby, why don't they have wedding rings and how did they hide that they were married? Gaile refused to respond to all the questions asked, she explained: "Leon and I hope to have some privacy, please respect us! I am a married person, questions about what will happen in the future or if we'll hold a wedding banquet, I cannot answer that right now. Even so, I may not talk about it!"

Asked about being a wife, is the responsibilities larger? Gaile said: "I never thought about that, next time I'll answer you!" Will her work and jobs be affected after marriage? "This question should not be asked to me, please ask my company!" Gaile strongly stressed that exposing her marriage or not is not important, they will handle it naturally. She said helplessly: "Originally privacy is secret, but now everyone knows, this is different from me announcing it on my own, might as well admit to it!" Praised for finding her happiness, Gaile simply said: "Thank you everyone for your concern. I already solved my marriage case. People who know Leon and I understand that I don't usually talk about my private life, I originally want to keep it secret, Thank you!" Her Cantonese has never been that great, to avoid saying the wrong things, when she accepted the phone interview from the Media, she spoke in English and spent approximately 20 minutes to talk about her marriage. She turned away from all the questions and have not responded to any.

EO2 will donate all their proceed, (24,979 HKD) from teaching people dance to the Red Cross for Taiwan 88 landslides victims. EO2 told reporter only Eddie could attend the 88 Disaster Relief fund-raising event because the other 3 had prior engagement. Therefore, they thought about doing something for the Taiwan victims.

EO2 reckoned this event is very meaningful, as children can learn how to dance and at the same time, it is for charity too.

Ella expressed that she didn't know she was going to dance as she had her high heels on. She said "My house had no electricity, that is why I was late." Ella lives in Sheung Shui and it is far from the city, but she is used to live with her family, and she doesn't mind the long journey. Reporter asked if she will move out when she gets married ? Ella replied "It is too far ahead, and I haven't thought about it. I don't mind living with my family, but I haven't thought about living with his family." Ella went on to say she will not live with her boyfriend before they are married, but when she gets married, she believes she will move out from her family home.

EEG's big sister Joey Yung appeared at the "Sun Plan 2009" event, towards the two Pop Queens Kelly Chen and Miriam Yeung already married, it is only her left out of the Pop Queens that has not. Joey laughed: "I'll guard the rear door!"

Yesterday Joey, JJ Lin, Vincy Chan, William Chan and Raymond Lam attended the event. When Joey and the newly wed "Mrs. Ting" Miriam bumped into each other, she immediately congratulated her. She praises that Miriam's spirit that she's quick. Reporters teased her and said that she's the only Pop Queen left that hasn't gotten married, Joey said: "Really? I'm not a Pop Queen!" She then said that many female singers have not married yet either, she smiled: "I'll guard the door for everyone!" The Reporters then started to get suspicious, Joey quickly explained: "I am saying that I'm going to be a little slower than the front line female singers!"

Joey later clarified that she's not not getting married, but its just that she hasn't met her Mr. Right. She said: "Until the day I find my Mr. Right, I won't be telling anyone about marriage." She said that while she's growing up she had never thought about marriage, having kids or death, so would want to get everyone to witness, but her mom has not rushed her for marriage. Actually her manager Mani has been trying very hard to introduce her to some male friends to her and help her 'match-make". Joey said: "Mani is always introducing me to new guys, but I always reject her because fate is at your own hands, I like love at first sight."

As for the recent incident of artistes always getting exposed by the Media of their marriages, Joey defends them on their behalf: "Every artist would want to preserve their privacy rights. Sometimes they aren't intentionally trying to lie to anyone, but it's just that we outsiders don't understand."

Myolie and rumored boyfriend Bosco Wong are classified as one of the most popular searches. Myolie said that when she gets married in the future, she will let everyone know first time, but she will not consider going to Las Vegas to register for marriage. She said: "It's terrifying. I rather just announce it generously then to go to the United States to do it. Actually Miriam, Andy and Leon are all people who have worked hard for many years in the industry, it is about time! I am happy for them as well, afterall, men should have started a family and have kids by age 40. I hope there will be a little Andy Lau and Leon Lai soon! (babies) But I am still young, my accomplishments in my career do not compare to them, I am not considering marriage at this time."
