Wayne Lai's and his 12 years old son, Lai Zheng Qiao's relationship has been very good, eventhough recently Wayne has been busy with filming, however as soon as he has time to spare, he would leave early to head home for dinner, his son would also turn down other meetings and return home to share good times, making Wayne feel gratifying.

Wayne expressed that his son who will be stepping into youth will celebrate Father's day with him in another way, "Last time, when he was younger he would draw some cards and all, boys are always more careless , many things are kept in the heart. But he's okay, I'm quite satisfied, he usually sticks to me, whine to me, when watching television at home he would lean on me. Eventhough I'm busy, but once I have time, I would accompany him, teach him swimming, cycling, play chess, and chit chat with him. (Did he complain that you never spend enough time with him?) "Once in a while, especially recently, my wife said that he always ask when is dad coming home. My son sees that I'm so busy, he would also feel heartache, asked me to be careful while working. These one or two words is enough to make me feel touched."

Yesterday, Bernice Liu attended an event at a mall, wearing a fitting red dress, exposing career line. But she who has put off some weight, having a shrink on her upper body, she laughed and said, " Really? I don't know how much has it shrinked, I'm learning Wing Chun, they said Wing Chun is a female type of Kung Fu, I thought it's not a very strong form of exercise, but actually it's quite suffering, sweat a lot, and also because recently I'm practicing my dance again, that's why I'm slimmer." Bernice expressed that she has learnt Wing Chun for about half a year now, Yip Chun is her si-gong.

Bernice will start filming The Residential Army soon. In the series there will be a 3 years old kid, she laughed and said, " It's about time, I'm already 30 years old, actually I really want to, at 5 years old I already wanted to have a baby, I want to have 7." She was asked if she's just waiting for someone to agree, she acted dumb and said, " Who? (Cecilia Cheung continued work even after birth!) She's married!"

Bosco Wong is busy with promotions lately, but he who loves cars (Cars Addict) went to a car exhibition after work yesterday to choose the car he likes. In the recent years he has been focussing on branded cars, looks like he has gotten himself a "third wife".

EEG's new film, " The Ex" 's main cast Ah Gil, William and Michelle Wai attended an event by UA to thank the public for the ticket sales. William and Michelle acted as ticket sellers on the spot selling tickets to the public. Recently, an anonymous person went to newspapers claiming that William had chased after Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi, Stephanie Cheng, and GEM, and has been together with Ah Gil for many months.

In its first week of broadcast, The Mysteries of Love <談情說案> peaked at thirty-four points. As one of the male leading actors, Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming became one of TVB’s recent ratings’ lucky stars. Kenneth’s earlier series, A Fistful of Stances <鐵馬尋橋> also broke ratings records in 2010. Perhaps low-profile and hard working artists can also have their breakthroughs!Despite his rise as a ratings lucky star, Kenneth still retained his frugal habits. Kenneth was spotted taking the train from Tseung Kwan O station to Causeway Bay. Afterwards, Kenneth entered “Men’s Skin Care Centres by Bella” (a skin care clinic currently endorsed by Kenneth) for a [free] facial.After completing his facial, Kenneth again took public transit home. In half a day, Kenneth was only spotted using $30 (HKD) to purchase a magazine. Compared to other leading male actors who splurge on lavish cars, trendy clothes, and fancy watches, Kenneth appears to be much more practical!

Tavia Yeung is in many happy occasions lately. Earlier her older sister Griselda Yeung opened a fashion store in Tsim Sha Tsui. Her series "Mysteries of Love" is having good ratings, with a highest peak at 36 points. As Charmaine Sheh filming less TV series, causing her popularity to decline, Tavia absolutely has a chance to replace Charmaine as TVB's number 1 fa-dan. Recently, Tavia was filming for new series "不速之約" in North Point. Weather that night was getting cold suddenly. Tavia, who was shivering because she didn't wear enough clothes, had a restroom urgency. She and her assistant walked 5 minutes to a nearby gas station to use the restroom. During the walk, she held the umbrella the whole time and also let her assistant to go use the restroom first. It's rare to see a star who doesn't have any arrogance.
