In early 2008, over 1,000 of Edison Chen’s (陳冠希) pornographic photos were leaked publicly, leading to a shattering scandal. Three years later, the subject of Edison’s 2008 sex scandal have been unable to step out of the shadow. However, Edison continued to be addicted to self-taken intimate photography. Fearless, Edison picked up his camera again and the subject of his latest lip-locking photos was 16-year-old model, Cammi Tse (謝芷蕙).

After Edison and Cammi’s intimate photos were exposed, he did not notify Cammi and issued a statement indicating that he had already broken up with her. Cut-off coldly by Edison, Cammi spoke exclusively to Sudden Weekly on November 2nd and admitted that she filmed a two-minute erotic video for Edison upon his request. Turning the age of 16-years-old to legally date in Hong Kong, Cammi admitted that her first time was given to Edison Chen.


Although Edison requested Cammi to kept their relationship a secret, she could not resist from posting a photo of them together on her blog in September to show off her happiness. In addition, Cammi posted a photo of a $5,000 HKD Hello Kitty bra which was presumably a present from Edison on her blog.

With Edison’s unilateral breakup announcement, Cammi cried for one day and night. During their dating period, Cammi filmed intimate photos and a two-minute erotic video for him. Edison allegedly requested Cammi to wear her school uniform and a swimsuit as a form of cosplay to increase the whimsical value. Asked about their sexual relationship, Cammi could not hold back her emotions and cried heart-brokenly.

Maintained Sexual Precautions Were Taken

C= Cammi; R= Reporter

R: How do you feel right now?

C: I am truly hurt. It was a private matter to date, however the entire world is talking about me and attacking me now. I am very unhappy and feel a lot of stress.

R: How did you meet Edison?

C: At his company (Juice). We were introduced by friends and continued to send text messages to each other.

R: After Edison released a public statement, have you been in touch with each other?

C (starts sobbing): After his statement, I realized we have truly broken up.

R: You took the photos on his bed?

C: We usually meet at his house and the photos were taken in his bedroom.

R: Did he ask you to take the photos?

C: He asked me to film a clip and said it was for his company’s use.

R: What kind of clip was it? Why has his company never used it? Did Edison retain it for private use?

C: I do not know…I am very scared!

R: Did he ask you wear lingerie and your school uniform for cosplay purposes?

C (eyes started brimming with tears): …I will not answer that question! (Hands start shaking) I can only say that it was not a sex video; I wore clothes throughout the clip!

R: Did you give your first time to him?

C (started sobbing uncontrollably, nodded head affirmatively): Yes.

R: Did you have protective sex?

C (continued to cry): I do not wish to talk about it. Anyhow, I know how to protect myself.

R: Does Edison still love Vincy Yeung? Are you still upset at him?

C: I do not know (big sigh)…. We were only together for 3 months, but I was really happy because he was very sweet to me. I believe that he was sincere at the time (paused for a few seconds) but…why did he have to treat me like this?!


Cammi Tse’s Father: “I Will Punish Her!”

When Cammi Tse and Edison Chen’s intimate photos were exposed on Monday, November 1st, she insisted on going to school that day. Cammi was a Form 4 student at a high school in Kowloon Bay. Originally scheduled to get off school at 3:3o PM, Cammi left one hour early and was spotted wearing a face mask stepping out of the school’s back exit accompanied by her father. Walking past a newsstand, Cammi’s father purchased a copy of a newspaper featuring coverage of Cammi’s intimate photos with Edison Chen.

When a reporter approached Cammi and her father, Mr. Tse, he said in a very upset manner, “Today, I have to take a day off to attend a parent-teacher conference!” (Did you know that your daughter was dating Edison Chen?) “No, I did not know. My daughter never dated in the past.” (Now that the photos have been circulating, what do you plan to do?) “What to do now? I have no eyes to look anymore! I will punish her tonight!”

At this point, Mr. Tse turned to Cammi and said, “Why don’t you answer the press’ questions? I do not know how to answer them!” Facing her father’s scolding, Cammi bowed her head and did not answer. Father and daughter drove back to their home in the Sau Mau Ping district.

Later that evening, Cammi put on light makeup to accept a Now TV interview, professing that she was very hurt by the recent turn of events. Cammi insisted that she was already 16-years-old when the intimate photos were taken.

Cammi’s manager, Admond, noted, “The company is very angry; Edison will affect Cammi’s future development. We do not interfere with our models dating and other personal matters, but an adult should not ask young girls to take such photos!”

Edison Possesses Strong Sexual Desires

Edison did not quit his long-time addiction of taking sex photos. He also preferred asking his partners to wear uniforms for role playing. According to behavioral psychologist, Lee Bao Nung (李寶能), men who enjoyed taking sex photos with women typically possessed very strong sexual desires. Since normal sex did not satisfy him, Edison needed to rely on “alternative sex.” Mr. Lee commented, “He has an enormous need, which is difficult to completely satisfy and thus he chose to express it in this manner. Role playing through the use of uniforms is a stimulating act. As a form of rebellious desire, it also projects the person’s extremely strong sexual desires.”

Maximum 5-Year Imprisonment for Underage Sex

The now 31-year-old Edison Chen dated Cammi Tse, who turned 16-years-old in March 2011. Lawyer, Wong Kwok Tung (黃國桐) said that the man would be out of luck if the woman was under 16-years-old while having sex, which may provoke lawsuits. “Any man having sex with a girl under the age of 16-years-old girl would be violating the law. Regardless of whether the girl was willing to do so, the man broke the law and faces a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment.”

Entangled in another sex scandal, intimate photos of Edison Chen (陳冠希) and 16-year-old student, Cammi Tse (謝芷蕙) circulated recently. Displeased with his behavior, Edison’s rumored ex-girlfriend, Gloria Wong (黃榕), scolded him bluntly for his fetish obsessions. In a telephone interview, Gloria revealed that Edison had asked her to wear a pink lingerie set to pose for some photographs in the past. The bra was made of thin transparent material, similar to a cheap set [purchased in a sex shop] for tens of dollars.

At the time, Edison scouted the best camera angles to shoot the intimate photographs, but did not ask Gloria to model any difficult poses. Gloria stressed that agreed to shoot the photos only once, which left her with a disgusted feeling, as if she were raped. Subsequently, Gloria asked Edison to delete the photos, but she did not know if he did in fact do so. In Gloria’s mind, the lingerie photos represented a time-bomb ready to explode at any time. In retrospect, Gloria deeply regretted taking the photos for Edison.

Gloria revealed that Edison resided with his elder sister, Tricia Chan (陳見飛), for a period of time. He was too lazy to care whether Tricia was home or not and continued to urgently ask Gloria to go to his house for “pressing needs.” However, Gloria and Edison did not play in the outdoors and remained within the comforts of home.

Gloria Wong: “They Went Beyond Kissing!”

Regarding Cammi Tse’s insistence that she did not have a sexual relationship with Edison Chen, Gloria Wong said in a Now TV interview, “I do not believe her. Edison will not let women off the hook so easily. In the leaked photos, both Edison and Cammi did not wear any clothes [as indicated by their naked shoulders]. Their cheek-to-cheek photos revealed an obvious reddish glow in their faces, as if they were very ‘high.’ Of course they did not simply kiss!”

Gloria did not consider herself to be taking advantage of the situation [to attack Edison], but only wished to tell the truth.

Yesterday Bosco Wong and Janice Man were guests for jewelry store PANDORA's opening ceremony. When the two were taking pictures, they matched very well and seem to be quite familiar. Bosco laughed: "We met before at another job and also we are both shooting for new film Laughing Gor Turning Point 2. However, we don't have the same storyline. I have more scenes with Kate Tsui and Francis Ng. No scenes with Janice."

When speaking of Macy Chan's car accident in Japan earlier, TVB was said to have been treating their artists harshly? Bosco said: "I don't believe TVB is treating artists harshly. When you are out working, it is hard to accommodate and for the sake of shooting, there is no other choice. However, I never stayed in the same room with both men and women before."

Did TVB not prepare well? He said: "Perhaps there was some miscommunication, but the most important is they [Macy and Queenie Chu] have a speedy recovery. Accountability should come last." Bosco was asked about the magazine report that TVB decided internally that the TV Queen award would go to rumored girlfriend Myolie Wu. He said: "Who is guaranteed to get the award! The votes by Fans are significant. I have faith in her too. (Do you want to win together?) The noise for her is pretty high, but actually my chances aren't that high because there is Laughing Gor and Wayne Lai."

Also, Janice Man plays Michael Tse's other half in the new film. Asked if she can break the tragic death fate? She laughed: "I shouldn't get too close to him, but if I did or not, won't know until later."

Wong Cho Lam has got himself a reputation that he's a comedian. As for his recent series Super Snoops was criticized for not being funny, he frankly expressed that is pressuring. He sighed and said a comedian's life is shorter than a tragic master.

(Wong Cho Lam speaks...)

At first when I was working on Super Snoops, I just saw myself to have one rotten life. Later, everyone expected the Fuk Luk Sau (FLS) that we must be funny and it was then when I discovered my own deficiencies. Honestly speaking, I thought I wasn't funny either! It's interesting, when everyone comes and praises you, even a saint forgets modesty, and neglect to listen to opinions of others....When I was nothing at all, I only wanted to do everything I could to make audience laugh. But now, I assume that I'm already really funny before I go out to perform, this is in fact a little like putting the cart before the horse. I hope to restore the fundamentals and find that energy I had in the past, and just give everything I got to make people laugh.

Flowers cannot be red forever, a comedian is like this too. Tragedy, you can watch until 60 years old, but the tide changes every few years for a comedy. It is easiest for a comedian's career to end their 'fresh period'. I am not afraid to be anyone's replacement or be eliminated, but I just fear I may forget that a comedian must use sincerity to be able to touch people. I do not dare to use 'comedian' to describe myself, but since I decided to be funny, I do indeed have my own stress. I have to always remind myself that I am competing against time, information, the expectation of audience and several other variables.

Looking back at Super Snoops, I feel the greatest problem was compared to a having a week to prepare a FLS variety show, we only had 1 day to complete 1 episode of the series. This is clearly a lack of time issue. Also, series are much more complicated than variety shows. Generally speaking, more time is needed for preparation....so if there is an opportunity to shoot another FLS series in the future, I hope to put more time and thought into the production.

Epilogue: Enduring sleepless nights to show care for others

This exclusive interview was completed several months ago. Initially, we wanted to wait until Wong Cho Lam goes to the U.S to meet the parents before we publish the article, but this 5 day interview could be summed up with Cho Lam's one comment: "I absolutely will not talk about Leanne Li." Cho Lam's love is nothing special, but he is very devoted to his acting career. He also severely lacks sleep: "This place indeed makes me wanna sleep." The touching part is that he is willing to sacrifice his sleep time (overnight) to comfort a friend. The author has also been one of his beneficiaries.

On 11/1, TVB artists Macy Chan and Queenie Chu were in Okinawa, Japan filming a travel show for TVB’s Pay Channel when they got into a serious car accident. Their car flew off the side of the mountain and crashed into the ditch below – luckily, the two artists were not seriously injured. Afterwards, TVB arranged for Macy and Queenie to return to HK and go to the hospital for checkup and treatment.

After the accident, Macy Chan’s boyfriend Eric Suen blasted TVB for their harshness and lack of concern for artists’ safety. The day before yesterday, Eric personally picked up his girlfriend from the hospital and also continued to criticize TVB for their lack of respect towards artists. Former TVB artist Wong Hei also voiced his support for Eric on Weibo and recounted how when he was injured after getting into a car accident over a year ago while filming a Mt. Everest special for TVB, the company neglected him and was indifferent to his plight.

When Macy and Queenie returned to HK the day before yesterday, TVB’s director of production and resources Virginia Lok went to pick them up from the airport and publicly ‘comforted’ them. The 2 artists were immediately taken to the hospital for evaluation and checkup. Around midnight, Macy’s boyfriend Eric Suen arrived at the hospital and at 1am, he was seen escorting Macy from the hospital. After helping Macy (who had a large black scarf around her neck) to the car, Eric stayed behind to briefly answer reporters’ questions. He revealed that Macy’s neckbone was slightly dislocated and she will need to do physical therapy to treat the injury – fortunately, there was no injury to her internal organs. He also stated that the doctor recommended Macy take several weeks off to rest and recover. Originally, the doctor wanted Macy to stay at the hospital for monitoring, but Macy requested to be released so that she could recover at home instead. Eric stated that Macy’s parents will take care of her at home, so it won’t be a problem.

On his Weibo, Eric blasted TVB for poorly handling the arrangements for the trip – he stated that he was only stating the truth and though he did not mention any names, if the person responsible thinks that he is referring to him/her, then so be it. He reiterated that his girlfriend Macy has a ‘seriously rusty’ driver’s license and since he’s seen how she drives, he knows full well the limitations of her driving skills – therefore, he did not understand why she was asked to drive; in addition, with the dangerous mountain roads and the bad weather, it was obvious that an accident was bound to happen. Eric also stated that he believes TVB only arranged for the pickup at the airport after he contacted upper management and threw a fit. He emphasized that he was not trying to attack the company itself, but rather was expressing his dissatisfaction at how certain people in the company mis-handled the situation. He also reiterated that artists need to be respected.

Last night, Eric continued his tirade against TVB. During an interview with Now TV’s Joey Leung, Eric clarified that as Macy’s boyfriend, he is speaking out in her defense and is not trying to intentionally target TVB. He revealed that back when Macy accepted the job of filming the travel show, she had a feeling that sooner or later, some type of accident would occur. Eric also stated that the part that angered him the most is that the accident could have been prevented, however the company [TVB] ignored all the warning signs and therefore allowed the situation become such a big issue. Eric also revealed that in the 10 hours or so after the accident occurred, TVB did nothing to handle the matter; it wasn’t until the next day when he personally called TVB’s upper management and demanded answers that action was finally taken – in fact, some of the upper management did not even know the accident had occurred! Also, he believes that it was only after he made a big fuss about the situation on Weibo, that TVB’s management finally realized the seriousness of the issue and therefore put on the ‘big show’ at the airport. Eric emphasized that he spoke out in the hopes that the problem would be properly dealt with.

As for fellow artist Queenie Chu, she was also released from the hospital and was picked up by a TVB associate – yesterday evening, she expressed on Weibo that she was in good health and thanked everyone for their concern. Regarding the accident, Queenie stated that she is grateful to the Heavens, the trees and rocks, the 2 strangers who found them, and the police as well as rescue crew for saving their lives.

TVB’s director of external affairs Tsang Sing Ming responded to reporters earlier about the situation. When asked why Macy Chan was asked to drive the car, Mr Tsang stated that after looking into the matter, the original arrangement was for the director to drive, however he had lost his identifying documents in Beijing and therefore would not arrive in Japan until 2 days later. The 2 local production crew who were with Macy and Queenie – a researcher and a cameraman – suggested that they should start filming and they were the ones who asked Macy to drive. Also, due to the location, the GPS system ended up not working properly. Mr Tsang also stated that the program they were filming is a travelogue, so the production crew arranged for the ladies to stay at a dormitory – he expressed that the biggest inconvenience that Macy and Queenie found with the living arrangements was that the restroom and bathing facility were located outside the rooms.

Mr Tsang expressed that the program was contracted to an outside company and TVB has already requested for the director as well as production crew to come to HK to explain the situation. With regard to Eric Suen’s ‘accusation’ that TVB only arranged for the 2 artists to return to HK after he scolded the company, Mr Tsang refuted it, saying that on the night that the accident occurred, the company had already contacted the 2 artists to find out their situation and were working on getting them back to HK. He emphasized that the company definitely puts the safety of their employees as their number one concern.

Kary Ng previously got to meet The Black Eyed Peas mastermind Will.i.am under the arrangement of her management company. Kary resembled a small fan attending an idol's press conference. She stated that she really admires Will.i.am's talent and the music he has produced for many female singers. Having the opportunity to meet and chat, she felt honored and both happy and nervous.

Kary stated that ever since joining Universal, she feels her music horizon has broadened. Recently, Kary has been actively rehearsing dance and exercising for the concert next week held together with Eason Chan and Paul Wong. Through exercise, her arms have developed a 'small mouse' (muscle) and when the time comes, she will compete through dancing with the two men. Her new album is also hurriedly being finished. With a high-pitched "lung exploding song" different from before, she is going the mature and feminine route this time, showing a different Kary Ng.

Myolie Wu is one of the hot favorites for this year's TV Queen title. She said she won't feel pressure, instead she has a normal mindset. Yesterday Myolie and Christine Kuo were shooting in Sam Shui Po for TVB new series Ghetto Justice II. This year Myolie's two series Ghetto Justice and Curse of the Royal Harem has been gaining momentum, increasing her chances for the TV Queen title. She has also been described as overpowering Fala Chen's popularilty from Lives of Omission. If Myolie really does get crowned TV Queen, which series does she hope to win for? She laughed: "I don't know! As long as I get it! Just kidding! My evil role in Curse of the Royal Harem is controversial because I'm not really considered evil, after all characters in the palace are so human-oriented. As for Ghetto Justice, I only got the points in the final episode, so it's hard to predict. I won't think too much, just going to have a regular mindset, this is not for me to think about." 

Since Selena Li's entry into the entertainment circle, she rarely had any intimate scenes. Recently when shooting for TVB new series Endless Exchange of Enjoyment, she kisses two men all in one go -- Johnson Lee and Vincent Wong. In the series, she plays the millionaire's daughter-in-law, but in reality she's not desperate to marry into a wealthy family at all. She feels wealthy men attract too many "peach blossoms".

Selena has been growing out her long hair for many years. This time for her new series, she cuts it. Earlier for this exclusive interview, she still had her long hair. She said: "Need to have some sacrifice. I'm also really unwilling to let my long hair go, but as an artist, I cannot say no. I have to accept new things."

After so many years of being in the industry, Selena rarely has any intimate scenes, this time she goes for a 'double', having many intimate scenes with Johnson Lee and Vincent Wong. She said: "I am not really used to doing intimate scenes. It's better with Johnson because we do the funny style bed scenes. However with Vincent, it's not like that. The bad part is we both rarely do these scenes, he even asked me to lead him in the scene."

In the new series, Selena plays the daughter-in-law of a millionaire and enjoys a glamorious life, but in reality Selena does not want to marry into a wealthy family. She said: "Don't need that much money, too much money comes with more pressure, or even a burden. I rather have a man that loves me than to have his riches, money and many peach blossoms."

But, as the storyline progresses, she and Myolie Wu would switch roles. She goes from a millionaire to a regular housewife. She said: "The most memorable was when I had to take care of a baby. I had to feed the baby milk, change diapers and these are things I haven't tried before. I was pretty scared because the baby was only 6 weeks old. At first, I was afraid he would get too cold and then I was afraid I would hurt him. However, it feels pretty good to learn the new skill. I love babies myself, but I will first have to find a boyfriend and get married, before I can have any babies. Can't skip a step."

Although Myolie Wu and Jessica Hsuan's new series Curse of the Royal Harem had a strong start averaging at 31 points, peaking at 34 points, but Netizens have mixed feelings. Aside from criticizing Myolie's exaggerated acting, Netizens also mentioned the concubine's makeup is too heavy. Jessica's role as Consort Tsuen (Quan) in history should be 18 years younger than Myolie's Empress role. There was also doubt on how a concubine could have the guts to express, in the royal harem, her wish for the Empress to die some day.

Producer Chong Wai Kin explains: "Myolie won't be evil until the end, she will slowly turn from evil to good. Her acting will converge, so audience should be patient. Heavy makeup on the concubine is just a metaphor. Jessica's makeup will get heavier and heavier. For this series, we consulted with a Mainland historian who is a Qing Dynasty expert. Before we started shooting, the artists received training on their lines, behaviors and dances [of that time period]."
