Rumors circulated that Charmaine Sheh Si Man will not be renewing her TVB management contract upon its April expiration date. Allegedly, Charmaine was offered a $15 million (HKD) contract by a mainland production company interested in signing her. Charmaine’s former Can’t Buy Me Love "公主嫁到" co-star, Linda Chung Ka Yan, congratulated Charmaine while indicating that her departure will be truly missed if the news turned out to be true.

At a Commercial Radio interview, Linda said, “I will miss Charmaine!” (Does Linda also want to do the same?) “I also want to earn some Yuan. Two years ago, I was offered a role in a modern mainland drama. The filming fee was quite good.” (TVB did not allow you time to film the drama?) “No, that was not the reason. God will make arrangements.”

With Charmaine leaving TVB, this will increase Linda’s opportunities within TVB? Linda replied, “Every year, there are a lot of new female artists entering TVB. [With Charmaine’s departure], there will be one less good actress.”

There were rumors that Charmaine was being pursued by a wealthy heir. Was Linda interested in dating a rich man as well? “Since I was raised in Canada , I would prefer a man who can speak English more.”

A few days ago, Chilam Cheung and Sandra Ng arrived in Vietnam for a charitable visit. They bought a great amount of stationery items to give as a gift to the local children living in the mountain area. Chilam also advocated his fatherly love and had some fun with the children there. He witnessed the children line up to get their gift, making him very touched: "Although they are poor, every one of them are very polite and understands how to appreciate."

Chilam made a special trip to get an understanding of one of the local child's vision problem. He followed the doctor into the operation room and directly witnessed a child undergoing a surgery to correct their vision. It was a memorable experience for him: "Before I entered the operation room, I was already mentally prepared. I couldn't believe, I personally witnessed a child half in anesthesia on the surgical bed. The doctor was continuously injecting medication on the child's bloody eyeball. That feeling gave me the goosebumps, I was about to vomit when I saw it. It was hard to take mentally." Because the process is not what an average person can bear, Chilam was later praised to have the courage. He hopes to capture a clip of the experience, so everyone can be able to wake up and face any problems that comes about.

At the Spring Celebratory Dinner held on February 14th, Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) officially announced that the company signed The Voice 2 <超級巨聲>winner, Mag Lam Yan Tung, for four years. EEG will jointly share the management contract with TVB, who discovered Mag’s talent. Throughout the entire evening, EEG owner, Albert Yeung, often accompanied Mag and introduced her to the guests present.

Since winning The Voice 2, Mag Lam has been extremely popular and appeared at numerous promotional events. Her appearance fee has increased to $80,000 (HKD) per event, matching hot model, Chrissie Chau Sau Na! Many music companies fought to sign Mag due to her powerful vocals. However TVB picked EEG for her music contract.

EEG Dedicating All Resources in Promoting Mag Lam in 2011

EEG vowed that it will spend millions to promote Mag into a big star! An inside source at EEG stated, “Last week, Albert Yeung held a confidential conference. He stated explicitly that all of the company’s resources in 2011 will be dedicated to promote Mag Lam. Mr. Yeung will even cast Mag in a new film. Vincy Chan and Sherman Chung will not have new albums released this year. Gillian Chung will focus on filming in China . Aside from Joey Yung and Charlene Choi continuing their music and film careers, other female artists will have far less opportunities!”

Perhaps Mag did not know how much EEG valued her. Mag said, “TVB chose the EEG contract for me. I don’t know the length nor price of the contract. I am just interested in producing music I like!”

Yumiko Cheng Sacrificed at EEG

With Mag joining EEG, many second-line female artists’ careers were threatened. This included 29-year-old Yumiko Cheng Hei Yi, who joined EEG in 2002. With Mag’s alleged $4 million (HKD) EEG contract, Yumiko may be one of the first artists let go by the company. With her contract expiring soon, Yumiko’s popularity was at an all-time low. Sales for her music albums have been terrible. Allegedly, Yumiko was disgruntled with EEG and even spoke poorly about the company in front of other people. As a result, Albert Yeung has decided not to renew Yumiko’s contract.

A one-time hot car model, Yumiko had two accidental exposure incidents revealing her nipple and thong-clad butt in 2007 and 2006 respectively. Since 2008, Yumiko has not released any music albums. Last year, she started filming series in China , abandoning the Hong Kong market. Allegedly, Yumiko was upset that EEG did not put in their best efforts to promote her.

Yumiko Cheng has been dating wealthy make-up artist, Andy Leung for the last six years. The couple currently live together in a luxury apartment in Sai Kung. The monthly rent is $60,000 (HKD). Yumiko was spotted frequently driving her boyfriend’s $50,000 (HKD) Audi TT sports car.

Chilam Cheung will be holding his first concert at Hong Kong Coliseum on March 26th and 27th. Due to positive pre-concert sales and ratings for recent TVB series, The Rippling Blossom <魚躍在花見>, his current music company, Neway Star Music, was willing to renew his music contract for an eight figure sum. Also, Chilam will be releasing a new music album in March 2011.


In his new music album, Chilam wrote lyrics for a song temporarily titled, “Toy Story.” Since Chilam’s son, Morton, was a dedicated Toy Story fan, Chilam suggested to add Buzz Lightyear’s voice clips to the song. Neway Music applied for copyright use, but unfortunately Hong Kong Disneyland rejected the proposal. Not giving up, Chilam proposed to name the song “Toy Story.” Neway appealed their case and agreed to pay royalties to buy the expensive song name. Hong Kong Disneyland reportedly has to transfer the application to the American Disney operations for the copyright approval. The case will have closure this weekend. Hopefully, the matter will settle soon, otherwise this may delay the release of Chilam’s new album in March.


The tickets for Chilam’s March concert have almost sold out. The Rippling Blossom peaked at thirty-three points in ratings and allegedly, there were two or three music companies interested in signing Chilam. As a result, Neway’s founder, Sit Chai Kit, offered to renew Chilam’s contract for another three years with an eight figure sum. Mr. Sit also proposed to arrange another concert performance at the Hong Kong Coliseum in 2012 and arrange for a twenty-session world concert tour, along with other tempting terms.


When reporters contacted Chilam, who was currently in Vietnam , he acknowledged that Neway was seeking copyright usage from Disney. As for his contract renewal with Neway, Chilam indicated that he will negotiate the contract terms after his March concert.


Neway Star Music’s Chief Executive, Kevin Wong, said, “Our company is willing to spend lots of money to buy the ‘Toy Story’ to use for Chilam’s song. The most important thing is to match Chilam’s needs. We have worked very well with Chilam over the last two years. We have confidence in successfully renewing our contract with him.”

On a phone interview later the day, Bosco expressed the "lightbulb" that night was his stylist. He was shopping for new clothes for promotion events and TV appearance.

"I have to go to different promotions later, like for my new drama 'Grace Under Fire.' Then I will be on Grasshopper's new variety show as guest. Plus I was in Mainland the past few months, just shopping for some new clothes that night."

Reporters then asked whether they are going to make public of their relationship, he denied and stressed they are friends again.

So is it really a normal date with friends or a way to gain exposure to promote dramas? Either way, it's a win-win.

Another TVB artist accused of trying to be 'chok'?

In his latest drama "The Rippling Blossom," Michael Tse plays a sushi chef who seeks perfectionism and cares a lot about his profession. He is seen frowning a lot and rarely smiles in the drama.

He went back to the place where they filmed in Japan and challenged eating a bowl of super spicy and hot ramen at a restaurant. He also exposed when they were filming in studios, many artists would pay a visit and eat sashimi, especially Jessica Hsuan.

TVB’s currently aired series, The Rippling Blossom "魚躍在花見" contains the most exceptional scenery found in recent years. Segments of the series were filmed in Furano, Otaru, Sapporo , Hakodate and other places in Japan . The Rippling Blossom star, Tavia Yeung Yi, admitted that she often frequented Japan during her vacation breaks due to its shopping opportunities. However, Tavia especially loved Otaru for its romance!

Aside from Tokyo , Tavia was unable to visit other parts of Japan in the past. Since the filming of The Rippling Blossom took place in Hokkaido , Tavia was able to enjoy the stunning local scenery. “I was so happy! No words can describe the beautiful scenery in Hokkaido . Although it was very cold during the filming, this did not affect my happy mood.” Tavia also praised the local cuisine; her favorite was seafood and the fresh fruit. Since she ate a lot of food while in Hokkaido , Tavia gained a bit of weight.

While filming in Japan , Tavia took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the local attractions. Tavia and Myolie Wu Hang Yee filmed at Hoheikyo hot springs for a scene in The Rippling Blossom. While soaking in the hot springs , Tavia took the opportunity to relax. If there is a chance, Tavia would like to take her mother to soak in Japan ’s hot springs in the snowy weather.

Since The Rippling Blossom focused on food-related content, the cast and crew often filmed at the Tsukiji Fish Market. Tavia said, “I’ve never been to the fish market in Hong Kong, so it was quite an experience to see the fish market in Japan .” However, Tavia’s most beloved location in Japan was Otaru. Due to its romantic scenery, lovers would be mesmerized by Otaru’s beautiful locale. When will Tavia be traveling to Otaru with her boyfriend? Tavia laughed, “I can not do that right now, since I do not have a boyfriend. When there is an opportunity to do so, I will let you know! Ha ha!”

Since the Japanese Yen has soared in recent years, Tavia joked that she has to support the Hong Kong economy and do her shopping there. “The clothes in Hong Kong look pretty stylish. Although the prices are inexpensive, it is a shopping haven..”

However if he asked me, I would be happy to co-operate.” Asked if Eason’s singing contract is due with Universal Records. He replied: “I have an album release today and another one to plan for soon, so my contract is not due for renewal for a while. Not much news there.
