Pakho Chau replaces Edison Chen
Theresa Fu revealed that due to going to Beijing she didn't attend Stephy Tang and Kary Ng's new film "Nobody's Perfect" premiere. As for Stephy taking sexy shots for her new album cover, the reporter asked Theresa was more suitable for the sexy or innocent girl image? She replied "She is suitable for anything". In addition, Pakho Chau was claimed to have stolen Edison Chen's Levis spokeperson position. He said "Don't say stolen, every brand will look to work with different people. I am very lucky.

A Wei took out a digital camera and said “This is what I use to film.” Although it’s not the professional video camera being used but they are very serious about it and was trying to persuade the producer of “Mo Fan Bang Bang Tang” to broadcast it during the show.
A Wei was excited about it and showed a bit of it to the reporter, in the video Wei Lian dressed up as a girl with a mushroom head wig and dress standing aside, suddenly Ao Quan kicked Wei Lian’s breast. As for the rest of it we’ll see it if it really gets broadcast.

Ao Quan: Equal handsome as him

Ella (left), Hebe and Selina formed SHE. They have been together for 7 years and has transformed from little girls to today’s pretty ladies.
3 distinct personalities, backgrounds and with different preferences, yet when the trio are placed together, they were totally in synch. To commemorate their deep friendship, the trio reared pet dogs, which are siblings bonded by blood ties. Selina started off rearing a mini toy poodle – Pinky, which later got pregnant. She wished for Pinky to give birth to 3 puppies so that each of the member could keep one to symbolize the continuation of their friendship down the line. Miraculously, Pinky indeed gave birth to 3 puppies much to S.H.E’s delight. Thus, each of them took one home to rear. Indeed, this is like a representation of their relationship passing on down the line and never changing.
Pinky Gave Birth to 3 Puppies
As mini toy poodles are called “Gui Bin Gou” in Taiwan, Ella named her pet pup as “Ah Gui”, Selina’s is named “Xiao Bin” and Hebe’s “Gou Gou”. Today, Selina brought the Doggy Mommy – Pinky to the interview to show us the “old ancestor”. Recently, Pinkly has rose among the rank of the family tree into a grandmother, as “Ah Gui” and Taiwan’s famous male model’s pet toy poodle – Peony successfully mated. Peony gave birth to 3 puppies and Ella happily brought “Tie Dan”, who just stopped taking his mother’s milk, back home. Now the dogs of 3 generations would even gather together.
Ella’s beloved “Ah Gui” Nearly Blind
However, Ella’s recent heartbreak was that when she brought Ah Gui to surfing and let him run along the beach, she had not anticipated that his eyes would be hurt by the infra-rays. As a result, Ah Gui nearly turned blind and could no longer look at bright lights. Thus, Ella could not bring Ah Gui on the streets to play nor during her work assignments. This was what caused her to be most sad about. Although Ella love her pet dogs, it appeared that her beloved pets are not destined for a good life. Her pug in the past – Qiang Qiang, passed away due to allergy to anesthesia while Ah Gui’s eyes were hurt. We pray that Tie Dan would be able to break away from this curse!

A Date to Shi Da Night Market for Large Chops
Wonder if anyone would guess when S.H.E will bring us to eat in Taiwan? The answer is ----- Night Market. Don’t boo yet! Perhaps, everyone would be familiar with Taiwan night market’s grilled sausage, fried oysters, salted baked chicken, but where exactly can one find large chops at which is cheap and good? SHE introduced a signature delicacy ----- Shi Da Night Market’s “Demonic Chops”. They said, “This is a renowned place even Secondary school kids would frequent.”
Ella is full of praise for the beef and pork chops’ freshness. “A large thick slice. But do avoid going during the holidays, as there would be long queues. On normal days, it would be packed but luckily for the quick turnover, everyone could enjoy their food and leave contentedly, so that others could also savour the good food.” The trio described the attraction of “Demonic Chops” is its affordability, freshness and large serving and it is served piping hot on an iron hotplate. Even the schooling little couples would visit this place too on their dates.

Reporter's Footnote
After interviewing S.H.E each time, friends would keep asking me, “Who, among the trio, is the most friendly? Who is the trickiest to hand? And who has the most attitude?” Each time, I would reply without fail, “I feel that Ella is the soul of the group.” I am not saying Selina or Hebe is troublesome, but Ella’s personality is the most straightforward and at ease to be with. During photo shoot, Ella would warm up the quickest and even lead the other two members into the “mood”. After that, Selina would work up her feminine “charms”, and Hebe would gradually be motivated to join in. It appeared to be like a car, with Ella being the engine to pull everyone to work together, thus, they become a perfect match.

While Hebe was having her photo shoot, ELLA started to tease Selina in the background, turning this photo into a “rated” one

While Selina has firmly grasped onto her bliss, she also wishes for ELLA and Hebe to find their destined ones

Selina’s Favourite – Already Silent
Thursday November 27, 2008 Taiwan
URL2: http://ol.mingpao.com/cfm/star5.cfm?File=2.../saa03/mze2.txt
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549421
After over a year, S.H.E released their latest album – Miss Universe. This album marks the transformation stage of their image into “matured ladies”. Many of the songs in this album depicts their inner thoughts which they wish to share with the fans who have grown up with them over the years. Hence, the trio each picked a favourite song from their album to share their thoughts with everyone.
This song is a collaboration between Selina and Jay Chou. She explained, “When Jay handed this song to me for me to pen the lyrics, I thought through the song over and over again. I find that it is best suited for a love song and hence, pen my own relationship experience into it. These are my real experience and I hope fans can sense my feelings, and treat it as experiencing love.”
The reporter recalled that Ella said Selina has the most luck with guys among the trio. To this, Selina turned to look and smile at Ella, who was seated beside her, “Are you sure that’s me?” Ella nodded and added, “Aren’t you? Usually male fans would come on stage to confess their love for you, guys view you as a Goddess.” Selina continued, “Perhaps, my appearance is more feminine, but I am very dedicated when it comes to love.”

Hebe’s Favourite – Girls Ought To Be Strong
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549428
This song has many layers in emotions. It gave girls a motivation. Guys long had a song “Men Ought To Be Strong’ written. Now it is the time for girls to have a song dedicated to them for strength and to represent that girls of modern times need not be demure and weak, waiting for guys to protect them.
Despite her seemingly gentle appearance, Hebe self-professed to be no weakling. Compared to Selina and Ella, her workload seemed to be lesser and we asked if she ever felt jealous. Hebe clarified, “No. Actually I’ve been receiving a lot of acting scripts since filming the last serial but there is nothing that takes my fancy. I agree with the company’s arrangement not to just take up any lousy roles. So I took the time to learn recharge and prepare for our concert. It is so hectic! Other than singing, our performances are diverse to date. I would definitely be glad to support when my 2 sisters have good working assignments. In our collaborative dictionary, there is no room for ‘jealousy’.”

Ella's favourite – Planet 612
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549420
With ELLA's androgynous style, her protrayal of a girl in boy's disguise in Hana Kimi is unforgettable. We wonder when would she film another serial. In response, she said she is currently still selecting the script.
Ella described this song as her favourite comic – The Little Prince, as theme. The Little Prince seeks high and low for his true love to return to his planet with him. Ella shared, “I actually love red roses. Furthermore, the lyrics matched my feelings very much, it is as though singing my sentiments.” It may come as a surprise to many that despite her outer appearance seemed less feminine, Ella actually loves red roses. She added, “Since young till now, I have always feel that red roses symbolises love. Especially the budding ones waiting to blossom are the most romantic. Although there were guys who gave me roses in the past, I gathered they just happened to be lucky to have ‘guessed correctly’. In fact, they might not really know my real liking.” We asked further if she wish that her proposing “Prince” would bring her a stalk of red rose. Ella laughed, “It would be best If he understands my heart, but if he could give me a surprise or do something touching, I would be contented and happy.”

S.H.E - Sisters Forever
Thursday November 27, 2008 Taiwan
URL1: http://ol.mingpao.com/cfm/star5.cfm?File=2.../saa03/mze1.txt
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549419
http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549412
7 years is no short period, as many would perhaps term it as a critical point of any relationship – be it lovers, married couples – 7 years seemed to be a test of any relationship together, what more could be said for partners? This year is Taiwan popular female group – S.H.E’s partnership for the 7th year. They have seriously thought about it, “Can we continue as S.H.E?” This reflection is not due to their sister-relationship going through the mill, but rather a “growing-up question”. Their next big step in life would probably be to get married, give birth to kids, and could they continue to be so bubbly and always jumping about excitedly?
Regardless if S.H.E’s brand name would stand forever, or would it stop eventually, the sisters have vowed, “As long as S.H.E remains for a day, we will spread happiness to everybody.”
In the 7 years, the trio started off not knowing each other, and was arranged by the record company to stay together in a girls’ hostel. They have conquered the stage of “easier to be acquaintance than live-in roomies”. Now, they have each owned their properties and even though they no longer stay together, S.H.E’s relationship is still very good. In their free time, they would arrange to dine and meet up with friends too. Selina said, “Our relationship is already like good sisters. Even if we do not record albums together in future, and we lead our own lives, our relationship would remain as ‘family’. The gatherings will definitely continue.”
To Continue Singing for the Audience
Ella said, “The album market is getting worse, we were worried there wouldn’t be anyone to turn up during the debut album sales activity! But during that day when we saw the long queue, we were overjoyed to learn there are still so many youngsters out there supportive of buying original albums. Actually even we would not know if S.H.E could continue singing on, so we tend to adopt a ‘let natural take its course’ attitude to all these. It is our common interest to release an album together; we will treasure each opportunity to do our best. As long as there are audiences, we are willing to sing.”
In view of the economic tsunami, album market’s downturn, and natural calamities, there has been less laughter and joy around, and everyone tend to sigh and lament when they watched the arrows on charts going downhill. Hence S.H.E, who usually gave others the impression of happiness, decided to transform into “Happy Ambassadors”. They wish emit joyous news and happiness to everyone. Hebe said, “Each time we visit a place for our concert, we would be very happy to see our fans cheering passionately. Everyone has brought so much happiness to us. Similarly, we also wish to be closer to our fans and to bring them happiness.”
Being Each Other’s Psychologist
Being together for 7 years, we probe who is the “Best Listener” amongst them? The trio looked at each other. Then Selina spoke up, “We are each other’s ‘Psychologist’. Some time back, I discovered the usually extrovert Ella keeping silent before others, and we know something is amiss. Thus, we arranged to meet up and confide with each other. Whenever I am unhappy, I would also arrange for the 2 of them to come to my place for a meal. Everyone has tacit chemistry, this is like a secret between sisters. No outsiders, beyond the 3 of us, would know. In short, we really wish each other would find bliss.”
No Room for Disputes & Jealousy
In their sisterly relationship, S.H.E has no room for “jealousy” and “disputes”. They would always discuss things through and not put it to heart. Like how Ella puts it, “We trust our record company’s arrangement. Such as during the time Hebe was filming; I went surfing when there is no assignment; and Selina would host programmes. It could be either of us going overseas on learning journey, or even the 3 of us taking a holiday together to fully rejuvenate. But in principle, the company won’t allow all 3 of us to go on holiday together. It has to be 1 or 2 being busy, while the other can take a break.”
Pursue Bliss Together
The trio’s relationship is very close and we probe just what would be the most touching moment? Ella said, “During our album promotion activity, Selina dedicatedly wrote a letter for the 2 of us. She wrote what we would say among ourselves in our daily lives. We can feel her glowing in her recent bliss (Selina is currently in love), and her wish for us to also find our bliss soon.” Listening by the side, Selina’s eyes got a little teary, “Yes, I spent some time writing the sentimental words to them. Initially I rehearsed a few times at home so that I could read it out before everyone, but just after a few lines I could not bear it anymore. In the end, that day, we cried till our eyes were swollen but in our hearts, we are very happy because my sisters would feel my feelings.”
The good chemistry between friends need not be all laid on the table. Just like during the interview today, even we were only left with half an hour for the photo shoot, the trio was in synch with each other. While one was being interviewed, the other would go pose for photos, and another would be autographing. And when the trio sat down together, they could follow-up on each others’ words to continue the interview. Such chemistry, is really something that needs time and getting close together to foster.

http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549313
Last night Charlene Choi (Ah Sa), Raymond Lam and William Chan were guests for the launch of the new cell phone Nokia 5800. When the host Donald was introducing the new cell phone and that it is able to input a convenient speed dial for 4 people who they most want to contact, he asked Ah Sa who she would enter? Ah Sa exprssed that it would be her father, mother, Ah Gill and before she could even say the 4th person, Donald said: "would you enter someone who has the name of "Gei"? (referring to Ronald Cheng) Ah Sa then cleverly answered: "Nokia!" (in chinese Nokia has the word "gei" in it)Afterwards, asked Ah Sa if she remembers good friend Ronald Cheng's number? She expressed that she does not want to respond. As to earlier it was her birthday, did he give her a gift? She only said that her friends did not give any gifts this year because the economy is not good. Speaking of her cell phone, Ah Sa expressed that she's not a clumsy person, since she entered the industry, she has never lost her phone before. Asked if she has any personal information or pictures stored in the phone, so that's why she's so careful of losing it? She said: "My phone is only for calling people, its for playing games and texting. Text messages are also very simple. (Simple as I Love You?) Yeah sometimes, but very little!"
Together earning money in America on Christmas
When Raymond Lam went on stage, he was also not able to escape from Donald joking around, as he joked with Raymond's rumored girlfriend Linda Chung. Towards this Raymond said that he doesn't mind and also said: "My rumors with her, I believe that in my next series the rumors will stop!" Speaking of finding a real girlfriend is not easy and then starting rumors again, Raymond then said: "But I have to find one first! To find, I first need time, also I'm also very picky! Actually each year during the holidays, I would think of what I would say to my other half."
Speaking of Linda Chung expressing earlier that she feels Raymond's songs and TV series are developed very nicely, she would make him her goal in her career. Raymond misunderstood the meaning of "development goal", he said awkwardly: "Thank you! (It's only a goal in her career?) Oh! We're from the same generation, don't say that, its rare for girls to praise me." Afterwards Raymond reveals that during Christmas, he will be going to United States for a Christmas show as a couple team with Linda. This Christmas, he has someone to spend it with, is he "so happy to death"? He stressed: "Going to earn money together!"

Closer than average friends
Tuesday November 25, 2008 Taiwan
http://www.picturepush.com/public/1213870
Home-grown pop star JJ Lin has a new album, a new concert tour, a new clothing line and, possibly, a new love in his life too.
At a recent press conference here to promote his latest album Sixology and upcoming tour, the 27-year-old admitted that he and Hong Kong singer Charlene Choi, or Ah Sa as fans call her, were more than just friends. But he stopped short of saying that they are seeing each other.
The boyish-looking Taipei-based singer, who will be performing here on March 28, told Life! in an interview: 'Ah Sa and I are definitely closer than average friends. I will say that we have a healthy friendship and I am in the process of getting to know her better.'
He also said that Choi, 26, is the first person he will invite to his upcoming concert.
He added: 'Ah Sa must come for my concert to give me moral support, whether as a special guest or an audience member.'
The two had collaborated on the song Small Dimple in Lin's latest album, after he invited her to sing the duet with him. More recently, Taiwanese and Chinese media reported that the two got closer after their Ocean Butterflies and Emperor Entertainment Group announced last month that they would be collaborating on artiste management and distribution licensing.
As for his upcoming concert, Lin said that it will be a back-to-basics affair, unlike his showy, futuristic Just J concert here two years ago.
S.H.E and Twins, said: 'It is going to be a heartwarming and touching concert which audiences can relate to, and I will wear fashionable, colourful and comfortable clothes instead of extravagant costumes.'
As for his special guest, the Mandarin pop idol said his company is planning to let his fans do the choosing by voting online for who they want for his concert. The list will be released soon.
He added the concert means a lot to him as it will be held a day after his 28th birthday.
'It will be a fantasy tour for me as I will be celebrating my birthday with all my fans.'
Just like his upcoming concert, his latest album is about being himself. In this album, his sixth, he dons more colourful modern streetwear such as bright waistcoats, T-shirts and bermudas instead of the more muted tones he preferred before.
Gone, too, are the different personae. He has tried his hand at being a killer and a mummy.
He hopes the new boy-next-door image will make him appear friendlier and more approachable to the public.
'This is a very new and refreshing image, and I hope my fans will be encouraged and inspired by my music, as well as my fashion.'

Where: Singapore Indoor Stadium
When: March 28, 8pm
Admission: $78, $108, $128 and $148 from Sistic (www.sistic.com.sg or call 6348-5555).

Turning Her Back On Her Husband, Ada Choi Electrifies Moses Chan In Their New Series
Turning Her Back On Her Husband, Ada Choi Electrifies Moses Chan In Their New Series

In "The Gem of Life", Ada plays the character of Jessica Hong; someone who is very opinionated. In order to succeed, she is willing to give up on the people who love her the most, including Ta Woh (Wong Hei). She is willing to marry the rich Hing Fung (Ngok Wah) even though there is a large age gap between them. Unfortunately, Fung's son Jit Nam (Moses Chan) is not satisfied with her becoming his stepmother, and is always going against her. Ada expressed that although she doesn't share many intimate scenes Moses, and there are mainly only scenes of them arguing, she admires his acting skills. They are best friends off-screen as well.
Rumours Only Cause Laughter
During the filming period of "The Gem of Life", rumors were spread, indicating that during filming they left on their own for an amount of time. No one knew of where they went. When this was mentioned Ada couldn't stop laughing. She said: At that time, I was already preparing for my marriage, but didn't want the public to know yet. Luckily my husband Max Zhang was very understanding and didn't ask me what caused the rumors to start. Actually, other than rumors with Moses, reporters have also spread rumors that I was in a broke-back relationship with Monica Chan. It was really funny. Ada expressed that Moses is a very good man, but she never thought of developing a relationship with him. She said: We've collaborated in "Where the Legend Begins", and "Dance of Passion" in the past, but we never played lovers. Although we never played lovers, Moses will always take care of people during filming, so I believe that he will be an ideal other half, and will take good care of his girlfriend. His girlfriend will be very lucky. Ada expressed that in "Superwoman" next year, they will finally play lovers. Although she is already married now, she will still electrify Moses in order to create new sparks for filming.

When taking photos, Moses and Ada had to do many intimate poses. Moses praised Ada for being a good actress. In order to reach perfection when filming, she has never feared intimacy and never shows uneasiness. As well, she is a very kind and genuine person, who is always very lively and willing to help others. Then have you ever thought of pursuing her? Moses answered: No lah! I just feel that she is a very strong person, and has somewhat of a boyish behavior. I can talk about anything with her. Then will you look for her to talk to when you're in need of expressing your feelings? Moses expressed that he rarely ever looks for others to express himself. As for rumors created during the filming of "The Gem of Life"? He replied: I also don't understand why they wrote that we left the group while filming. We never did that. Often, rumors are spread between Moses and the female actresses who film with him. Moses said: It's easy for me to get along with others. When filming, communication is very important. In this industry rumors between artistes are either of dating or animosity. I've already adapted to these situations.

Gillian currently studying, will conquer Taiwan next year
Monday November 10, 2008 Hong Kong
Gillian Chung (Ah Gil) who has been training eagerly for her return was spotted by Taiwanese channel SEETV to participate in an idol drama with the popular Taiwanese actor Ethan Ruan. However, EEG feels that this has been too rushed and to prevent distracting Gillian from her studies, EEG has rejected the offer for her.
Ah Gil has been hidden for a long time now since the nude photo scandal and has been training very hard for her return. Lately there has been news that SEETV has spotted Ah Gil and invited her to act in Taiwanese drama “ 我的敗犬女王” but recently EEG has helped Ah Gil reject the offer. Gillian’s manager Mani admitted and stated that “We have helped Ah Gil reject it because this has been too rushed.”
Idol drama that fits perfectly
Mani revealed that the filming of the drama will start this month and due to the big rush, Ah Gil is unable to adjust to the schedule. Mani says: “Ah Gil still has many lessons to attend, our company wants her to focus on finishing all her courses first. It’s too early to prepare any work for her.” Even though Ah Gil is unable to participate in the Taiwanese drama, Mani still thanks SEETV and says “Although this year’s cooperation has been unsuccessful, we can save it for next year. SEETV said that they will create a drama that fits Ah Gil perfectly and then ask her to act in it. At the moment we’ll let her concentrate on attending her lessons”

WuZun uses his career to make a serious vow protecting Charlene Choi’s “real love life”; Swears that they are only friends; Calvin Chen becomes Jiro Wang’s “walking stick”
Monday November 10, 2008 Taiwan
Wuzun and Ah Sa have always maintained a good relationship. Recently, during Chun’s birthday Ah Sa gave him a designer label bag worth over $10000 leading people to describe her action as “pursuing WuZun”. At the same time there has been a rumour that Ah Sa’s act has made Ronald Cheng jealous. To protect Ah Sa’s “real love life”, Chun made a serious vow to the public: [If there really is something going on between us, I will never act again!] This cuts off their “尊Sa戀 (ChunSa love)” relationship.
Swears that they are only friends
When Chun attended the International Fahrenheit Website function yesterday, he was asked about Ah Sa’s upcoming birthday on November 22nd and whether he’ll give a big present in return. Chun answered: [I don’t know when her birthday is, we’re not as close as you guys describe it to be but we do get along well so you can classify us as friends] He didn’t hesitate to make a serious vow to protect Ah Sa so reporters asked if this means he wants to draw clear lines between the two and Chun answered: [We have only been good friends all along so why would I draw clear lines between us?] Chun then changed the subject to Arron Yan and Gui Gui’s rumour but Arron couldn’t adjust to the question immediately so he quickly replied and almost blurted out that Gui Gui and him were “sisters”. Later on he changed his words and said that they were like “brother and sister”.
Calvin Chen becomes Jiro Wang’s “walking stick”
It’s very rare to see the four Fahrenheit boys joining together, they were all wearing hats to make their new hairstyles a mystery and united with around 500 fans to celebrate Calvin and Arron’s birthday. They are planning to release a new CD in December. At the same time Jiro’s right knee was injured causing the four boys to bond more. Arron, who has experienced leg injuries before taught Jiro recovery techniques while Calvin is often used as a “walking stick“due to their big height difference.

Getting pregnant when ratings break 5, GuiGui says, "No!"
Sunday November 10, 2008 Taiwan
GuiGui said that if the ratings for Pi Li MIT breaks 5, she will get pregnant. [For clarification, it was actually ARRON who stated that, not GuiGui.] On the 9th Nov, Yan Ya Lun, Gui Gui and Xiao Gui attracted numerous fans on their bicycles. During the event, GuiGui changed her mind, and refused in English saying, "No! No!" Xiao Gui who loves teasing her immediately exclaimed loudly, "You want to get pregnant with the artiste, NoNo!". The more GuiGui tried to explain, the worse things got, resulting in her not knowing to laugh or to cry.
Yan Ya Lun and GuiGui are known to be conscious of their appearances, but the weather yesterday didn't comply. There was a downpour yesterday, and as they had to ride their bicycles in the rain, both of them were drenched, ruining their makeup and hair. GuiGui kept worrying that her false eyelashes would fall off, and Yan Ya Lun consoled himself by hoping that ratings will flourish. (He said a phrase related to water, thus the rain)
Pi Li MIT had to re-film once, and after last friday's episode was aired, quite a few netizens found that Fan Wei Qi's hairstyle and makeup doesn't match in some scenes. FanFan herself was also at home playing this game of "spot the differences", she said, "I paid very close attention to see if there were loopgoles and in the end I realised that my hairstyle kept changing." GuiGui replied, "We have no idea the end product will be like when we are filming, its only when the show has aired on tv that we know what the storyline really is."

Kate Tsui Denies Being Rude & Arrogant
Kate Tsui Denies Being Rude & Arrogant
8 November 2008
The blessing ceremony for new series The Hatred Of Love <杏林心處> took place at TVB City on Thursday, attended by cast members including Alex Fong (方中信), Kate Tsui (徐子珊) and Vivien Yeo (楊秀惠).
There have been reports suggesting that Kate has been displaying some arrogant attitudes during filming for this series, often arriving late, being lazy in rehearsals and not taking co-stars' feelings into consideration. When asked about this, Kate admitted that she has been arriving around 15 minutes late, but she is working hard to improve this. However, she insisted that she has not been showing a bad attitude. When he heard this, Alex came to Kate's defence, saying that the reports were not true and she would not dare to be so rude.
Alex went on to compliment Kate, saying that she was very punctual and hardworking. He added that if an artiste was behaving so badly, then the company would not invest so much into promoting him or her. With Alex praising Kate so openly, reporters joked that this could lead to rumours that he has fallen for her. He laughed that he felt left out because she has not been flirting with him at all. He went on to say that he has not been in the papers much recently, so he is enjoying this opportunity for some promotion.

With her family originating from Shanghai, Niki was very excited to return to her ancestral home. She explained that her mother is Shanghainese, so she has some very strong connections to the city and she felt a strong partnership with the crew for the shoot as a result, making the experience very enjoyable.
By coincidence, some of Niki's relatives were also in town, so she took some time out after work to join them for a crab feast. She said they were there just in time for the prime crab season, where they are especially juicy and delicious, so she ate three in one sitting.
Niki is enjoying her busy year, saying that she has had a lot of work, including filming for mainland series The Legend of the Book and Sword <書劍恩仇錄> and TVB series Snooker King <桌球天王>. However, she enjoyed the opportunity to take some time out during her visit to Shanghai.

Fiona Sit Nervous About Forthcoming Musical
Fiona Sit Nervous About Forthcoming Musical
3 November 2008
Ella Koon (官恩娜), Fiona Sit (薛凱琪), Stephanie Cheng (鄭融) and Elanne Kong (江若琳) went back to school today as they attended a Metro Radio <卡拉O!FACE> promotion at a Ma On Shan school.
Ella has been busy recording for her new album lately and revealed that the slowing marketplace has not reduced her workload. She smiled that she has not noticed the falling salaries because she is quite low paid anyway.
Asked about the situation during the TVB Singers Celebrate The Anniversary <翡翠歌星賀台慶> where many of the younger singers were jostling for a space on camera during the Hacken Lee (李克勤) and Alan Tam (譚詠麟) performance, Ella pointed out that she stood behind Joey Yung (容祖兒) and Grasshopper (草蜢) and was not pushing to be seen. She said that she has learned a lot about graciousness from her seniors and will never be so rude.
Stephanie's progress this year has far outshone good friend Fiona, but she explained that Fiona has not been in Hong Kong for much of the year, so she has lost out on some exposure. Asked if she is confident of taking some awards this year as the year end presentations draw closer, Stephanie replied that she will be very happy if she does, but she does not compare herself against others.
Fiona has been busy rehearsing for her forthcoming musical drama performance and with a month to go, she is starting to suffer sleepless nights from nerves. She said that she is pleased that so many friends have bought tickets to support her despite the economic squeeze and she is very grateful to them. Asked if rumoured boyfriend Jaycee Chan (房祖名) will be going to watch her, she smiled that he has not bought his ticket yet, but she is sure he will do soon.
Fiona's stage musical collaboration with theatrical stars Joey Leung (梁祖堯) and Edmond Tong (湯駿業) Last Smile, First Tear will be performed at the HKAPA Theatre on 05-11 December.
