Hacken Lee's maid fires him instead for her carelessness

Hacken Lee yelled out to the paparazzi's yesterday evening "Changes in the family". It was in fact not about him and his wife Emily Lo having marriage problems, but because one of his maids was careless and dropped his son Ryan on the ground. His eye area immediatley appeared bruised and made Hacken very concerned and worried.
But what made Hacken most angry was that before he had time to scold the maid, she immediately turned it around and fired him instead. Hacken said "Before I fired her, she fired me. I didn't get to scold her but she already said "I want to resign", afterwards I immediately asked her to leave. If she was working for one more week, who knows if we will have steamed chicken to eat? He felt the same experience as another student in his school days when they also fired their maid. But personally he felt more worse because he was fired instead.

Hacken stated without the maid he took care of his son with his wife for the last 2 nights. Not only did he not have the chance to watch his favorite English football match but he also couldn't sleep. He even had to cancel recordings, but fortunatley the company didn't complain.

FM S.H.E Warmly Invites Diva Zhang Hui Mei to be The First Interviewee

In the program she sang ‘Jia Hou’ with Selina, Hebe and Ella want to record it down as their handphone ringtone.
Four dog lovers can’t stop talking about dogs; Ah Mei helps her dog son to come out of the closet.

Yesterday S.H.E started recording for their internet radio ‘FM S.H.E’ which was started because of their album ‘My Station FM S.H.E’, the first ‘mysterious guest’ that they interviewed is diva Zhang Hui Mei (Ah Mei) who is currently leading an isolated life. Ah Mei who is concentrating on her preparations for her Japan concert specially come out for S.H.E, and she even sang a Taiwanese song ‘Jia Hou’ with Selina, Hebe and Ella said happily, “This part of singing have to record down and use it as handphone ringtone.”

To invite the guest for interview every week, S.H.E gave many choices for the company to refer to, they said, “The first episode have to invite artistes of kings and queens level, and in Taiwan the diva who has the standing would definitely be Ah Mei.” Ah Mei also has righteousness, not only did she agree to accept S.H.E’s interview, she also prepared bracelets, necklace and earrings as presents. Ah Mei smiled and said, “When I first heard that S.H.E was going to interview me I thought it was for a television program, unexpectedly it’s actually for radio.” S.H.E who usually has a lot to talk about becomes a DJ for the first time. They were so anxious that they kept staring at their scripts and while talking they even screwed up sometimes, Ah Mei couldn’t help smiling secretly when she saw this.

Ah Mei who is recently leaving a secretive life, goes for recording everyday, play with dogs and her niece, isolated until her friends wonder if she had vanished into thin air, her manager also feel that she seems to be suffering from autism; hence Ah Mei told S.H.E, “Didn’t accept interviews for so long, the first time is given to you girls.” S.H.E also shouted to fans that miss Ah Mei, “She didn’t disappear! Now she is at our FM S.H.E’s program.”

S.H.E who loves to go KTV to sing said, Ah Mei’s songs are always on their list, “Selina even got 92 marks for imitating Ah Mei’s singing and voice change.” Ah Mei on the other hand said she seldom goes to KTV, Ella smiled when she heard this, “Who dare to sing after you started?” However Ah Mei also revealed that once she went to KTV with Jiang Hui and they had a great time, they even sang each other’s song; after hearing it S.H.E said enviously, “Those people present are very lucky! Hearing two divas singing is a pleasure.” However they also asked Ah Mei curiously, “Then did second sister sing your Bad Boy?”

Selina who viewed Ah Mei as her idol of course did not let the chance of singing with her slip by when she saw her idol’s arrival. In order to help their good sister fulfil her wish Ella and Hebe hoped that Ah Mei can sing a part of Jiang Hui’s ‘Jia Hou’ with Selina after the KTV question. The generously Ah Mei immediately opened her vocal; Selina also followed happily and fulfilled her wish.

Ah Mei and S.H.E are dog lovers; they can’t stop when they started talking about dogs. Ah Mei has two Golden Retriever at home, two Toy Poodle, she even shocked everyone by saying, “The eldest ‘Master Zhang’ recently came out of the closet!” S.H.E got a shock after hearing it, Ah Mei explained, “Among the four dogs, I dote on Master Zhang the most, it has single eyelid, although it’s a boy but its actions and eating style is like a lady, its character is also very gentle, I feel that it should be gay.” S.H.E laughed and said, “So it’s your dog son who came out of the closet.”

Ah Mei who is currently preparing for her Japan concert also shared her most frightening singing experience. She remembered that there was once she had an outdoor concert which involve ticket sales at Guangzhou on the eve of typhoon, the weather condition was very bad, “Not only did it rained heavily with thunder, the wind was also so strong that the scene beside the stage had to be taken down. While singing halfway, the instruments one by one had no sound because of electricity trip, the only sound left was my microphone, and hence all the musicians and harmonizers stood in front of the stage and clapped their hands for rhythm. After singing three songs without music I asked everyone to go home quickly to avoid danger.”

The one hour interview ended very quickly, S.H.E and Ah Mei had a great time chatting, Selina even invited Ah Mei generously out for singing, however because Ah Mei had to practice for the concert, she had to reject S.H.E’s offer, she can only tell them with regrets, “Next time you girls want to go KTV have to look for me!”

Charlene loves to exercise and keeps fit; Chun surprised but happy

Chun and Charlene star in the upcoming movie “Butterfly Lovers”, in the movie, Chun has a lot of skin contact with Charlene. However, this did not move him, but rather he was more interested in the visible veins in Charlene’s arms and her muscley legs. It was then discovered that Chun, who is a fitness coach himself, is not interested in weak girls, but rather, interested in girls like Charlene who loves to exercise!
In “Butterfly Lovers”, because Charlene is unconscious, under this desperate situation, Chun has to take off her clothes. However, to his surprise, he realizes that she is actually a girl. During that scene, because of the angle of the screen, it looks like Chun has contact with Charlene’s breasts. However, the 2 in unison said, “That is just the angle la, before filming, we already talked about this, in reality, he didn’t touch at all!” However, Chun’s most memorable moment about this scene is actually that Charlene also has visible veins in her arm just like him. It was then discovered that Charlene really loves to exercise; she even practiced athletics when she was little. During filming, Chun and Charlene’s common topic would be exercise, and Chun was surprised because he says that he hardly ever meets girls like Charlene.

Another ambiguous scene in the movie is when Chun has to massage Charlene’s legs. After the 2 are more familiar with each other, Chun then said to her, “You have muscles in your leg!” Charlene then widened her eyes and replied, “Don’t tell me I have muscles, I have already tried to avoid it from showing onscreen!” Chun then innocently said, “But I really like girls who have muscles in her leg! I think that it looks very good.”

Chun says that he is a fitness coach, and unintentionally will notice people who like exercise. When he was studying in Australia for 5 years, not many Australian girls would keep fit. He said, “Girls are really scared of getting muscles, but I don’t agree with this, so when I know any girls who love to exercise, I don’t mind that she has muscles but rather I would find it very special and really appreciate her.”
