Amigo Chui's assaulting ex-girlfriend Elizabete Kwong case has been troubling him for more than 2 months. He was eventually charged for the case and appeared again at Kwun Tong Magistracy yesterday for the trial wearing a black outfit. He denied the "assault occasioning actual bodily harm" (AOA) charges. According to the prosecution lawyer, the hearing will be adjourned to May 18th, where Elizabete will appear to testify in court.

Accompanied by his manager, Amigo arrived at court and appeared preoccupied and nervous. He bit his lip often, kept his hand crossed over his chest and frowned. Natalie Tong who was rumored to have reconciled with him did not appear in court to support them. Instead his classmate's father Mr. Wong came to support. Mr. Wong expressed that he treats Amigo as his nephew, praising that he was a good kid, very obedient and polite when he was young.

Does not plead guilty, it was an accident

In court, Amigo carefully listened to the magistrate read off the details of the charge and then calmly replied: "I do not plead guilty." Then his lawyer spoke on his behalf. The magistrate asked if Amigo had evidence of his absence at the crime scene? Was the incident an accident or had any bodily contact? Was there a third party at the scene at the time? And was there a series of arguments or disagreements? Amigo's lawyer expressed that the incident was an accident and he is falsely accused. Also, at the time they were in the same unit, therefore there was no other third party witness. The magistrate asked back: "A third party did not see the incident, what does this have to do with the case?" The prosecutor did not reveal the contents, only expressed that they will summon Elizabete, doctors, police officers and 4 other witnesses to the court.

Find another attorney

The magistrate expressed the case is adjourned to May 18th. The defense lawyer said that the attorney Amigo hired does not have time, therefore they hope the court can adjourn the hearing between May 3rd to 17th. The magistrate declined the request: "It is only March now, there is plenty of time to find other attorneys who are available at that time. I do not understand what is so special about this case that there needs to be a certain attorney to handle it!" Amigo was also advised to: "You should find another attorney!" Amigo nodded in response. The next hearing is still set at May 18th, Amigo continues to get bailed out with a $1000 fee.

Eric was asked if he saves his private pictures carefully in his computer. He said " I have many private pictures saved in my mobile phone. Some are taken with my girl friend. But they are not obscene pictures, therefore, it doesn't matter." Eric revealed that he spends a lot of time in "microBlog". He disclosed through that Blog, he suddenly has over 10,000 more fans. Eric said " TVB has a lot of influence for publicity, without it, I have to rely on the internet for publicity." Eric thinks the problem between TVB and the 4 record companies are purely an issue of "financial benefit", if each side give in a bit, the problem can be resolved. That would be a great help to the music industry.

While attending an open house yesterday, Michael Miu and his wife Jamie Chik were asked whether they gained a lot of money from investing in the real estate market all these years. Michael replied: “Buying a house and maintaining a business are both prone to gains and losses; to me, money is just a material need – most important for me all these years is that I ‘gained’ a wife and 2 kids.” His philosophy when it comes to investing is that as long as it doesn’t affect his family’s standard of living and he can afford it, then he moves forward with it. As for Jamie, she admits that she is more ‘old-school’ and therefore likes buying real estate as a means of precaution in case the market goes up.

Asked whether they invested in any real estate for their children? Michael said: “Actually, I hope that in the future, my kids will have the ability to buy me a house!” Jamie expressed that she does not want her kids to be too dependent on their parents – therefore, if they decide that they want to buy a house, she will support them to a certain extent, but won’t pay for the entire thing.

Pretending to stand is more difficult

The Child Sexual Abuse Foundation has been set up for 10 years. Josephine was asked if she feels she has achieved a lot? She smiled and said she feels exhausted. She explained the foundation is a very small organization, it is hard work. For the last 10 years, they have to rely on a group of volunteers and warm hearted people to survive. She will continue to work for the foundation, but no matter how hard they work, the cases of children being sexually abused keep increasing. There are so many reason for it. The foundation wanst to give out the positive message, but there are so many pornographic information in the media. It is a headache for them.

The foundation is preparing some sex education promotion material to target the primary and secondary school students. The aim is to raise the children's awareness, knowing that if they meet a "pervert" they would run away. Josephine also hopes the parents can educate their children, in particular young girls, who may be tempted by the material things and sell themselves.

Yesterday a bed sex photo circulated on the internet, where the man was verbally abusive to the female. The man in the photo was suspected to be former Mr. Hong Kong Francois Huynh.

Rumors spread yesterday that there was a taxi driver who picked up a cell phone that had sex photos in it and a 20 minute video clip of the sex. Although the clip was not uploaded online, but 9 photos were uploaded along with the detailed description of the contents of the video. In the video, the man was rudely shouting at the female to make love with him, then made a peace sign (V) in front of the camera after the moment.

As seen in the 9 photos, the man was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with the his side view on the up close camera angle. The man and woman were in several different positions having sex, there was also a photo of the male half-naked sweating. But the pictures were too blurry, the faces of the two having sex were unable to be identified. There were only 3 photos that the man's appearance could be seen, but the silver watch that man had on was different from the black watch that was seen from the sex clip. There are suspicions that the man is former Mr. Hong Kong Francois Huynh.

Francois left the entertainment industry after he started dating wealthy man's 3rd mistress Karen. They eventually broke up later. Before he worked at his god-mother Christine's restaurant as a manager, but in the end he left and went to work at a modeling company.

Yesterday reporters contacted the modeling company looking for Francois to ask him about the sex photos, he was stunned after learning about the photos. Then he politely accepted the interview outside of the company, he strongly denied that the man in the sex clip was him, asked if he lost his cell phone recently? Francois said: "No, my phone had always been with me. It doesn't mean anything if there are pictures in it. (Are you worried?) I haven't been worried, I never done such thing, never took such pictures, never have! The media and my brother (Stephen Huynh) have already called me to comfort me. (Would your phone have these types of sex photos?) Never had or will, I simply use it as a phone, it is a low-tech phone, I don't use my phone to take those things. It's kind of interesting how I just attended a premiere and now there's this news, what a coincidence! But this will not affect me. (Will you go online to look at the pictures?) I have no interest in looking, I have my own family and friends that I need to protect them. Someone wants to mess with me, well they are messing with the wrong person. I left the entertainment circle two years ago, they can't mess with me. (Do you have to explain to your girlfriend?) I have no girlfriend. (Have you been messing around with love relationships?) No, someone is clearly trying to frame me, but I will not think about who it is. (Will you take legal action on this?) No, I didn't do anything wrong."

Francois ex-girlfriend Karen expressed over a phone interview that she's shocked to hear that Francois is being accused of taking sex photos. Asked if she's worried? Karen expressed: "I absolutely have not take these types of photos before. When we were dating, he never asked to do it. He just has a westerner's personality wanting to go to beaches or in the car (meaning for sex). (How do you feel about this incident?) I have to go to a meeting, wait until I see the pictures first before we talk."

Karen strongly said that she does not have a hobby of taking pictures, but said that Francois has a western personality, wanting take action on the beach or in the car, Francois was asked about his response towards this and his tactics on getting a girl? He said: "That is too far, I have been involved in too much, I don't want to respond. This is my last time responding, I will not do so anymore in the future, unless it is clearly seen in the photos or clips that the person is me. I never did this and anybody could write these things."

Last night, she admitted that her contract has ended and currently she's focused on filming movies. But she has a mandarin album to release, which will be handled by East Asia, Amusic participates in the production too.

Asked if she would sign with Capital Artists? She said that it's her company, but she's currently discussing with East Asia on a manager contract, contract renewel is not cheap. She said that if she decides not to renew her contact, unless she's leaving the entertainment circle, she'll still do other work with her husband Real Ting, like a housewife, let her husband be the manager. Is it because Amusic doesn't have enough freedom? She said that freedom is on her own hands, rumors that she and Leon did not get along are just what others say, it is something interesting, but it's not the truth.

Alan Tam, Fiona Sit and Juno Mak held a press conference to promote 3D animated movie "How to train your dragon". This is Alan's first time "dubbing" for a movie, he revealed that he is the highest paid dubbing artist for the movie. Originally, he thought he can use his own initiative when dubbing, but in reality, there are do many rules and regulations. He got scared and nearly pulled out. Fortunately, he did it in the end and very successfully too.

The star soccer association is organizing a memorial service for Wan Chee Keung (Wan Lo). Alan said they have discussed that with Wan Lo's family and planned to hold it on the 9th of this month. On that day, he has to work in the mainland, he is hoping he may be able to change his work schedule. Alan disclosed that over a year ago when he visited Wan Lo who could hardly talk. When he held his hand, he understood how Wan Lo was feeling.

Fiona Sit had a white dress on yesterday, she revealed that she spent three days "subbing". After doing the dubbing, she felt her voice has become so manly. Since "screaming" occupied half of the dubbing sound, her voice has also become hoarse. If the viewers didn't see her in person, they probably wouldn't have known it was her voice.

This is Juno's second time doing dubbing as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock. He said when he was working on "Profile Control surgeon", he kept hiccuping for 7 hours. He had to go to the hospital for a check up at the end. The doctor said there was nothing he could do for him because there is no treatment for hiccups. The doctor referred him to see a psychiatrist. In fact, Juno was found to be overworked and not relaxed enough. He needed medication for his stress to reduce his hiccups. Juno said he went on holidays during the spring festival. He was hoping it may help him to relax. Talking about the ban on the movie "Bathing Beauty" in which Gillian Chung did the dubbing has been lifted in the mainland, Juno said he congratulated her. He hopes she can concentrate to do well in her job and ignore the media.

Mainland actress Rebecca Tang had her ban lifted by the mainland at last. Her new movie "Crossing Hennessy" will be shown in cinema on April 1. She and Jacky Cheung had a hard time filming that movies together. This is because when they were doing a courting scene, they spent most of the time in a Hong Kong style cafe. Once they spent over 10 hours there. Jacky said "The time I spent in the cafe is the total hours I spent in a year." They were so uncomfortable sitting on the wooden chair. Jacky had a backache when he went home and Rebecca felt her bottom was almost numb after she spent 10 hours sitting there.

The other hardship was they had to keep eating. One eveing, Jacky consumed over 10 buns till he almost got sick. Jacky praised Rebecca's professionalism for not having so many retakes. Otherwise, he would sure be sick. Rebecca, on the other hand, got to know a bit of Hong Kong culture more when working on this film, in particular, she gets to know a lot of Hong Kong culture such as "淨飲雙計" (charged double if only order drink) and "齋坐三計" (charged three times if only just sit there) and she loves "Pineapple bun" too.

Charmaine Sheh attended the "HK Health Check and Medical Diagnostic Center" press conference yesterday. This is her third year as the spokesperson for that center. Apart from her fees, she also gets a free body check every year. Charmaine revealed she has a regular health check every year. This is because as an artist working all hours, it is important for her to have a body check up every year. Asked if she is in good health? Charmaine replied "I am pretty healthy really; except for the fist time, my cholesterol is a bit high. It is all my fault, I like eating crabs. But now, I eat less crabs. I am older now, and I am not as brave as before. The older I am, the less time I have in life. I need to treasure my life. When I was younger, I was willing to do a lot of dangerous acts such as hung up in wire and a lot of action moment. I remember once, I was filming a scene in the hill, I stepped on the sands. I knew the sands were loose, I still stepped on them, knowing I might be in danger. But now, I am more careful. I know when to rest. I had worked about 90 episodes of series so far this year. (Did you recommend any artist to have their health check?) Sharon asked if she could get a discount. (Did you ask Moses Chan and Kevin Cheng to have their body check?) They are older than me, they can look after themselves, they don't need me to look after them."

Wayne Lai accepted an interview at the metro city yesterday. He was talking about his time in the US and Canada during the Lunar new year. He expressed that he spent a brilliant time there, in particular when he was in Canada. For the first time, he bought fresh oysters home and opened them by himself without any help. The oysters were very cheap too. It only costed him 100 dollars for 12, that means less than 10 dollar each. Wayne said "No wonder so many people emigrated to Canada! (Are you going to send your son to study in Canada?) The entertainment guy told me I only need 80,000 Canadian dollars to have my whole family emigrated to Canada, but I have to work in Hong Kong. My son is only 12, I don't want him to go there on his own. I will think about it and decide later."

"Rosy Business II" is having its costume fitting on March 10. Waynes has read the script for the 15 episodes. He said "I play the opposite role as Sheren. I am the policeman and she is the drug dealer wanted by the police. The plot is more excited than the last series. We are preparing for a song in which I will sing with her, but the theme song will be sung by a male singer. We plan everything down to the minor details." Wayne reckoned if the main two characters can sing a song together, that would strengthen the effect of the series. Wayne was asked if there is anything he needs to be prepared for his role, Wayne replied "To lose weight! This series' background is in its 30s, people were usually not fat in that era. I get fat the moment I relax, specially after the new year. Therefore, I need to lose about 10 pound in weight."
