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.

Niki Chow Enjoys Shanghai Crab Feast
8 November 2008

Niki Chow (周麗淇) has been keeping up with her hectic schedule filming advertisements in the last couple of weeks, flying out to Shanghai immediately after completing an electrical company ad to take part in a magazine shoot for where she modelled some autumn/winter outfits.

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.

Kevin Ridicules Himself : Too Shy to Get Along with Girls

Sunday November 9, 2008 Hong Kong

Even though Kevin is surrounded by rumours, he was actually a very shy person back in his school days and had a hard time getting to know the opposite gender.

When he went back to his old high school for a function, he was asked if going to an all-boys school was boring. Kevin said that every year, the school would organize joint functions with other schools to help them achieve a healthy body and mind growth. That's why he would look forward to the Christmas ball every year. When asked if he managed to meet girls at the ball, he admitted that he was extremely shy back then, like a "quail" ("ngam chun" in Cantonese - meaning cowardly), which was why he wasn't able to meet girls.

Sunday November 9, 2008 Hong Kong

Yesterday Linda Chung arrived at the jewelry sponsor and tried on the sponsor jewelry accessories for the TVB Anniversary, including 3 sets of diamonds that were worth over $10,000,000HKD. But those three sets weren't her favorite, she loved one set that was valued only at $4,700,000HKD and also the diamond was really big. Because the diamond looks younger and hot, she chose two sets to wear at the night of TVB Awards Ceremony and the Anniversary ceremony, in which she will be attending both.

Can Be Beautiful

Linda smiled: "Entered the entertainment circle for 4 years, each anniversary I had a series to film, but this year its rare that I just finished work, so I have time to dress up and get pretty (Tavia Yeung does not mind dressing more revealing on the chest area at the night, how about you?) If able to be sexy and beautiful, I don't mind dressing more revealing." Linda also said that she saw a big big diamond and wants to have one for herself, but she never brought a diamond for herself before. But her mother has brought a sapphire before and prepared many wedding accessories for her (Ka Jong), she smiled: "My mom already prepared "dragon/phoenix bracelet" and other little diamonds for me when I get married because I thought that would get married when I was 21 or 22 years old (Will she rush you into marriage?) She has! My mom often tells me to find a boy to take care of me, but seeing myself and my career doing better every year, so I will temporary hope to focus on my carrer." But admitted that currently there is a member in the entertainment circle that is chasing her, but she does not want to date a person within the entertainment circle, so temporary she will not accept his pursuit."

Priscilla, who was wearing hot pants danced with a male dancer, and even caressed his chest and thigh. Hins Cheung and Eric Sun’s performance was the most enthusiastic, when the 2 dueted Alan Tam’s “Mirage” and “Love Trap”, they did very funny poses. Leon Lai was the grand finale performance and fans even presented fresh flowers to him, however some of the audience was already beginning to leave before the concert finished.

Charlene sung Deanie Yip’s “Lucky Me”, aware that she is a lucky person and this matched very well wih the lyrics. When asked whether she is more lucky in her career or her love life, she replied, “My whole life.” (Which man brings you luckiness?) My boss. (Which man brings you happiness?) I don’t know, I’m only 26 years old, I’ll wait till I’m 30 and then see. (Will you share your luckiness with Gillian?) Yes!” Other than this, Joey Yung was also brought up. Earlier, Joey revealed that Charlene tried to be match-maker and introduce Chun to her. Charlene replied exasperatedly, “Joey is such a big-mouth!” (Joey said Chun is too young) Chun is older than her, I only wanted to introduce a friend to her, and I was only just saying, haven’t even mentioned it to Chun.” She also praised Chun for being a good man, and she only hopes that her own friends can get to know each other so they can all go out sometime, if she has the chance, she will also introduce him to Gillian.
