Moses Chan, Wayne Lai and Raymond Lam are hot choices for this year’s TV King. Yesterday night when Moses attended an event for a particular brand, he said that he supports Wayne to be the TV King. He felt that the both of them have went through hardships and they are good in acting. Instead, Raymond has a bigger room for development in singing, it felt like he was hinting that Raymond has no chance to get the award!

Moses Chan gained even more popularity based on the series (Can’t Buy Me Love). Yesterday Moses, Carrie Lam and Christine Au Yeung attended an opening ceremony for a new sports utilities shop. Regarding the rumours of him fighting for TV King with Wayne Lai and Raymond Lam, it was obvious that Moses supported Wayne, and expressed that he didn’t mind to give the award away, “If there is a choice, I would still choose to support Wayne, he wants to take of course let him have it, he is the main male cast in the hearts of most people!” He also said that he has interest in watching No Regrets, the blend of casts and storyline is very attractive!

He was asked does this mean Raymond Lam does not stand a chance to win? Moses laughed and said, “ Don’t put it this way, he held concert and also acted, why would he not stand a chance? Raymond is the idol of most young people, handsome, his singing is nice too, he has bigger chance for development in singing, these are the successes produced by TVB.” (This is saying that his singing is better than acting?) “Don’t say it this way, but Wayne and I have been through a lot of hardships, everyone can feel our hardships, in fact Raymond didn’t have much, but he is best at singing, whereas for Wayne and I it’s acting.” Speaking about Bernice Liu’s dressing, he praised that she is OK in her dressing, she doesn’t need to seek advice from him!

Charlene Choi (Ah Sa), William Chan, and Sherman Chung attended to the rehearsal of Metro's concert yesterday. As for ex-husband Ronald Cheng removed the love tattoo "Charlene" on his arm and replaced it with another icon, Ah Sa expressed she knows nothing about it and doesn't mind. "I don't know about it," the singer said. "We have our new start? I don't know either." She frankly said she goes to work in Mainland often now and has less contact with Ronald.

Ah Sa expressed she is staying in Hong Kong for about a week for her album and will leave later to film movies. Talked about the rumor of RTHK to announce music awards winner list on Christmas Eve, she said: "I have work in Mainland that day. (Do you think RTHK's decision cause singers to earn less money?) It would be better if they can announce earlier. Many jobs are planned several months ago. My job on Christmas Eve is not for earning money. I won't agree to attend to events first then decline it later."

Ah Sa believed record companies are the ones that might worry the most about RTHK canceling 4 stations award. She said it doesn't really matter because Twins already won these awards and she won it on her own as well.

Margaret Chung Lai Kei married Myolie Wu Hang Yee’s ex-boyfriend, Nardone Ruggero, in a low-key wedding in Sai Kung in July. When the couple got married, Margaret was three months pregnant. Although Margaret is currently six months pregnant, she continued to teach yoga at Pure Yoga.

Earlier, reporters spotted Margaret walking to work in flat shoes. Although Margaret was six months pregnant, she remained fit and in good strength. A Pure Yoga student revealed that Margaret was still able to invert herself in the yoga class. The student commented, “When Margaret was in the early stages of pregnancy, we could not tell her state. She taught difficult yoga positions in class. Two weeks ago, Margaret balanced herself on her head for a few seconds. She is six months pregnant now and many students fear for her safety!”

An undercover reporter attended one of Margaret’s yoga classes to find out additional details. Margaret instructed students using both English and Cantonese. Since the reporter attended a beginner’s class, Margaret did not perform a head stand. Reporters contacted the owner of Pure Yoga, Almen Wong Pui Ha, to confirm whether Margaret continued to teach advanced postures. Almen said, “Many of our yoga instructors continue to teach class while pregnant. Some instructors teach up to one week before their due date. Yoga is less exerting than teaching aerobics; there are more verbal instructions and demonstration of techniques for students. Since Margaret has been teaching yoga for many years, she is aware of what her body can handle. If she feels that she can perform a head stand, that’s okay.”

Reporters tried contacting Margaret, but she ended the call quickly and evaded the press.

TVB Anniversary Awards will be held early December, this year there are already several estimations for the TV King and Queen titles. Moses Chan's Can't Buy Me Love has become this year's top rated series beating Raymond Lam's The Mysteries of Love earlier this year. But, it was said that TVB anniversary series Rosy Business 2: No Regrets that will premiere on October 18th has already gotten many praises from the behind-the-scenes crew and Executives. This makes Moses Chan and Wayne Lai the hottest picks for this year's TV King title.

The day before, Moses and Wayne both 'made the move' to shoot for two TVB Sales Presentation 2011 clips. As for Raymond Lam, recently he has been busy shooting for a new series, so busy he's half dead. Though his The Mysteries of Love received high ratings, giving him hope to join the battle for TV King, but later his other series broadcast Growing Through Life received disappointing ratings, losing his momentum. Moses and Wayne of course won't miss this opportunity to 'make a move' and attack their enemy Raymond.

Moses uses magic to get girls

The day before, Moses and Adam Cheng were on the rooftop shooting the sales presentation promotional clip for their new series Heart of War. The two were on the rooftop of the 6th floor doing an emotional scene, and really is risking their lives. In the series, Moses is a magician on the surface, but in reality he's really a serial killer. Asked if he used magic to pursue girls before? He joked: "I've played with magic before. Before shooting this series, I learned from a professional magician, my visual learning is pretty strong. (Used to pursue girls?) You can say that! Just want to give a surprise to people, make some atmosphere." Besides collaborating with Adam for the first time, this is also the first time he's been a serial killer for a TVB series, he frankly said that there is a challenge.

Adam greatly praised Moses being tall and handsome: "Rare to have a co-star so pressuring, normally when working with other co-stars I have to stand with knees bent!" Asked if he's seen Moses' performance in CBML? He said: "Yup, I have seen his acting style in every one of his series, he really uses his heart. This year's TV King title, I support him." Moses also admitted that CBML's high ratings has helped him by giving him a strong encouraging shot: "The public praises for this series surpasses Beyond the Realm of Conscience, my performance this time also received more praises, gives me strong support. (A bigger chance for TV King?) For the meantime yes, in this time period! In many audiences' hearts, they do support!"

Wayne has confidence, series supported by all behind-the-scenes crew

As for Wayne, this year there is a big chance that he'll "bump" into an opportunity to get TV King. The day before, Wayne put on white make-up and white fake eyebrows, looking just like eunuch Lee Lin Ying for next year's grand production series Big Eunuch Lee Lin Ying (大太監李蓮英) promotion clip shooting. He said: "Although in the past I have been eunuchs before, but to me, it is a great challenge being Lee Lin Ying because there is really this person in history and a Mainland actor once portrayed him more than 10 years ago, he did a very good job. (Did you watch how he performed the role before shooting?) Nope, I don't copy people, I look at the script and see how to develop the role myself." When speaking of CBML high ratings, does Wayne have confidence that No Regrets will surpass it? He said confidently: "I have confidence to beat them, everyone including scriptwriter, editor and producer have watched it and said it was really good. I guaranteed with my head that it's a good drama. Even if it doesn't receive good ratings, I have no regrets shooting this drama."

Wayne does not deny his confidence for "bumping" into an opportunity for the award, but he does not dare to underestimate his rival Moses Chan. He said: "Moses always had his own style in acting, he's in fact a strong opponent." As for his other opponent, Raymond Lam, Wayne also said that his three lines (Music, Film, TV) makes him a strong candidate as well.

Who do they support?

Fala Chen: Wayne Lai is my brother in No Regrets, really have a Ah Gor feeling, support him!

Michelle Yim: CBML's three brothers led the audience well, Moses character was very cute and developed well, it is his breakthrough. The series used a cartoon style to film, the character is loved by audience."

When Fala heard about this, she was very upset, hoping the salon photographer can stop being so perverted, learn to have respect!

The salon photography lover under the screen name of "HK Big Wave Center" created a video clip filled with photos of these sexy goddesses, the photos focused on the chest area and legs. Netizens can browse through the video all they want and most of the Youtube comments were on the female stars' body figures, the content is very immoral!

Towards this, Fala expressed her unhappiness, she said: "Though I don't really have to care about these things, but I feel that because people can't get down to the real source online, Netizens think they don't have to be responsible for what they do. On the discussion forums, a lot of them don't use their brains when commenting. I hope they all won't be so perverted. (How to protect yourself?) The salon photography lover took the photo from the second floor, I have no choice, can I come out with a black cloth covering myself? This is my job, I have to put in the effort to be a good artist, I hope they respect us." Getting ridiculed, Linda said that she didn't watch it, she expressed: "I haven't seen the video. (Will dress carefully in the future?) I have always been careful!"

With TVB’s Anniversary Awards ceremony taking place in December again this year, the competition for TV King and Queen has been a constant focus in recent weeks.

TVB’s series "Can’t Buy Me Love" has strong ratings as well as public accolades, propelling the series’ star Charmaine Sheh to the status of ‘hot favorite’ to win TV Queen at the awards ceremony end of this year. However she will have some heavy competition from last year’s TV Queen winner Sheren Tang, whose intense performance in the upcoming anniversary series "Rosy Business 2: No Regrets" already has people buzzing about a possible repeat win this year.

In efforts to help boost the chances for ‘biological daughter’ Charmaine to win TV Queen, TVB made a rare move yesterday – when announcing the ratings for the finale episode of "Can’t Buy Me Love" (which aired this past weekend), they counted the ratings from the internet audience as well (those who tuned in to watch via MyTV on TVB’s website). As a result, it caused the ratings for the finale episode -- which originally averaged only 42 points overall – to jump to 51 points, thereby ‘adding’ to Charmaine’s chances.

Yesterday, the cast and crew of "Can’t Buy Me Love" participated in a celebration event for the series; all of the main stars, including Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, Linda Chung, Raymond Wong, Kenneth Ma, etc. as well as producer Mui Siu Ching attended to show their support. Everyone was excited over the success of the series and opened a lot of champagne to celebrate. In his excitement, Moses even sprayed champagne all over the place!

In terms of the ‘fight’ for TV Queen this year and Charmaine being viewed as the ‘hot favorite’, she smiled and replied: “I’ll leave the awards up to fate.” (RB2 is currently CBML’s biggest competition?) “I’m also looking forward to watching "No Regrets", as I had watched "Rosy Business" originally.” (Do you feel that Sheren Tang is your strongest competitor for the award?) “Can’t really say that – the company has so many good productions, it’s a good thing. Hopefully every series can be like this and can be viewed as strong competition, that would be the happiest. Awards are not within our control.”

Both Moses and Charmaine indicated yesterday that they hope "Can’t Buy Me Love" will have a sequel – towards this, producer Mui Siu Ching stated: “I also hope that both "Can’t Buy Me Love" and "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" can have sequels, but which one to do first, that’s something to think about. It would be nice to do "Can’t Buy Me Love" sequel first, since it’s a comedy, however right now, I’m working on "Forensic Heroes 3", so even if it’s possible to do a sequel, the earliest would have to be middle of next year.”

Asked which series she preferred to do a sequel first, Charmaine replied: “It’s hard to choose! Doing "Can’t Buy Me Love" first is less of an advantage for the character because the Princess would no longer be so bullying and it would not be funny anymore. If there’s a sequel for "Beyond the Realm of Conscience", I hope to be the villain, as there is more opportunity for development and expression there.”

Charlene Choi has recently been busy filming in Mainland, wrapping up filming "Sword Heroes' Fate" with Nicholas Tse and beginning filming "Legend of the White Snake" with Jet Li, Eva Huang and Raymond Lam. At the same time, she is preparing to release her new Cantonese EP "Beautiful Remains" in mid-October. It can be said, she has no spare time! Ah Sa recently found the time to film the MV for her recently plugged song "Simply" (簡簡單單). Not only did she 'fry' under the sun, her soft clear skin was bitten until it was red and swollen. Being professional she had no complaints, and even burst out laughing at herself once the cameras stopped rolling.

"Simply" is a song tailor-made for Ah Sa, a relaxing and encouraging song with lyrics encouraging everyone to be satisfied with what you have; if you live everyday simply, you will live happily. Optimistic and carefree like herself, the vivid outdoor scenery are extremely fitting. With the meaning of the lyrics to encourage everyone to face life optimistically, Ah Sa especially suggested to film outdoors, hoping for music fans to feel the meaning through the natural scenery.

The day of the MV filming, the temperature reached up to 30 degrees Celsius, pitiful Ah Sa was scorching under the sun for half a day. To the camera, she appeared to be enjoying herself, but suffered in silence. In another scene filming underneath the shade of a tree, Ah Sa wholeheartedly believed that the large tree would be a good shade, but under the tree there were many mosquitoes, biting Ah Sa's skin until her limbs were all red. All she could do was run away from the mosquito army every time the director yelled cut. Even though all her limbs were swollen and itchy, always happy Ah Sa still poked fun at herself. Pointing to her polka dot dress and her mosquito bites, she joked that it was a new polka dot fashion style, and she even suddenly walked like a model on a catwalk runway, making all the staff members on set laugh non-stop, and praising Ah Sa for both being professional and practicing what she preaches with her optimistic personality.

In 2006, 46 year old Esther and Nick had their daughter Brittany. In the last year, the couple have been actively trying to get another baby, but unfortunately has not been successful. Since his wife had failed to get pregnant several times, Nick, who had always wanted to have a second child, recently changed his views and expressed to leave everything to fate.

At 4pm the day before, reporters spotted Esther Kwan in Causeway Bay, wearing a comfortable dress and flat shoes. She was in the shopping mall looking at baby clothing. It was clearly seen that her arms and legs had gotten thicker and that her abdomen is slightly elevated. She walked very slowly, appearing just like a pregnant woman.

During the time, Esther focused much of her time looking at baby girl clothing, the majority of the ones she was looking at where pink in color or had flowers on them. Then she looked at clothing for the newly born. Not long after, Esther chose a few shirts and went to the counter to pay. A female passerbyer recognized Esther and went up to greet her. The two chatted about baby caring tips. When Esther was leaving, she was asked if she's pregnant? She let out a huge smile and did not respond. Speaking of Nick crowned Film King once again, did she celebrate with him? She smiled: "I'm leaving!" Then she turned around and left.

After a few days, Esther went grocery shopping at the IFC in Central. After she purchased her items, reporters went up to her and asked again if she's pregnant? Again, Esther smiled and did not answer. Then her driver came to pick her up to go home.

Eric laughed: "This shampoo boy, he came to my house at 6am in the morning to cut my hair. So a person's background really isn't important, the most important is hard work, maintain this attitude and you'll definitely get popular!" Besides him, Andy joked that he wasn't a shampoo boy, he was a hair stylist, which made everyone laugh.

Wants to work with Lee Tim Shing again

Film director Ann Hui exposed the first time Andy took on the leading role in TV series Walk On Fire (獵鷹), he had intimate scenes and was so afraid that he started shaking. Andy exposed: "At the time I was so stiff!" Andy expressed that he hopes to have an opportunity to collaborate with Lee Tim Shing again in a TV series.

Had always avoided talking about his family, Andy laughed: "Really only you are brave enough to say that, no one else!" Eric added: "Remember, work hard when you get back!" Andy asked: "Do you want me to send you away too?" Eric said in 'dai sei' tone: "Unless you can't....I'm just saying you have no time!"

Denies pregnancy rumors, signals to stop asking

Afterwards, the media asked Andy to confirm the rumors of his wife Carol Chu being 3 months pregnant? Andy denied: "No such thing. Right now I don't even want to use this for publicity!" It was also rumored that Andy spent HK$20,000 to hire a bodyguard to protect his wife, he denied: "It's just a rumor, not the truth. But I did hire a driver." Speaking of Deanie's comment on getting a baby soon, Andy kept his mouth shut and signaled with his hands to reporters to stop asking.
