TVB Calls Gigi Lai Back to Filming, Charmaine Sheh Losing Favor?

Sunday October 5, 2008 Hong Kong

At the start of this year, Gigi Lai announced that she would stop work for a year. But she has suddenly returned this September to help promote her upcoming TVB series “Gem of Life”. TVB has also invited Gigi to be part of a new grand production series, in which she will pair up with Gallen Lo.

It appears that Gigi is still one of TVB’s favourites. TVB’s other fa dan Charmaine Sheh has recently been involved in negative rumours, her image has been ruined as many now see her as the “third party.” TVB executives are not pleased with Charmaine’s rumours, so Virginia Lok personally went to the trouble to invite Gigi back.

Although there are numerous fa dans in TVB, but the fight for the No.1 sister spot has always been between Gigi and Charmaine. It had started in 2005 when the two collaborated for “Dance of Passion”, where they competed for the female lead spot and who got to sing the themesong.

Originally, Gigi wanted to wait until next year before she returns to filming; but because “Gem of Life” is an upcoming grand production series and with Charmaine’s recent rumours, TVB wanted Gigi to come back earlier than expected. An insider source revealed: “Previously TVB had asked Gigi to attend the “Gem” promotions, but she always said she was too busy caring for her brother. Then Virginia personally took Gigi out to dinner to persuade Gigi to attend the promotions.”

Apparently the “Gem” promotions are only the start of Gigi’s comeback. TVB has invited Gigi to take part in a grand production series which will start filming in November, the cast consists of Gallen Lo. ( Kenix Kwok has also confirmed to be part of this series). Everything is still under discussions as Gigi has yet to consider whether to accept the offer. Gigi said “I’ve always wanted to get back to filming, but I will have to check my brother’s condition before I make a decision.”

Chun has a weird habit; likes to “En En” in other peoples’ rooms

Chun has a weird habit; likes to “En En” in other peoples’ rooms
Saturday October 4, 2008 Taiwan

Fahrenheit are the new ambassadors for Taiwan in both Japan and Korea. The 4 together help to promote Taiwan, but offstage, they like to reveal gossip about each other. Calvin revealed that Chun has a very weird habit, “He doesn’t ‘En En’* in his own room, but goes to other people’s room to do it.” However, Chun retorted back saying, that Calvin is more dirty than him.

Calvin and Chun share a room, and Calvin says that Chun has a lot of rules: other peoples’ shoes and clothes cannot be left about, and he does not allow other people to come to his room to eat or go to the toilet. However, the night before yesterday, Chun unexpectedly went to Calvin’s room, and went into the toilet for a long time and still did not come out. It was then realised that Chun could not stand “En En” in his own room, so he went to Calvin’s room instead!

It is not only Chun that has a weird habit; Jiro likes to hang his underwear in his room and as for Aaron, he claims that even 2 people’s towels are not enough for him. Now due to all of their weird habits, whenever they have any overseas promotions or performances, they will all sleep in separate rooms!

*’En En’ is the sound you make when you are trying to poo!
