Although Ella’s personality had always been open and straightforward but when it came to dancing, she did not fool around. In the games segment last night, Ella taught three fans robotic dance moves to see who would learn the fastest. In the end, it was a fan from the Malay SHE Fan Club that won the competition.

From the release of the new album to now, S.H.E was so busy with doing promotion that they did not have any time to rest at all. Therefore, all three hoped that they could have a vacation for this year’s Chinese New Year so that they could get together with family and friends. As previous years, Ella would also celebrate Chinese New Year with family and friends by holding a BBQ party at her home in Pingtung.

When asked how they deal with pressures from work, Selina said: [I would chat with my sisters (Hebe & Ella) and tell them everything that I am happy or unhappy with because they can give me strength and advices.] Hebe said she would chat with family and friends or go online to read postings from fans because the fan postings would make her feel that all her hard work was worth the effort. Ella said that she now had learned not to put herself in a dead corner but to deal with the issues instead. Once the issues were resolved, pressure would naturally be relieved.

Touched that Fans Participate in Charity

Other than this, that night was also the 6th anniversary of the Malay SHE Fan Club. The fans created a special 8 minute video for the occasion. After viewing the video which recorded how the fans actively participated in all sorts of charitable work in support of S.H.E, the three were deeply moved. Ella said: [If we did not see this video, we would have no idea that the fans had participated in so many charitable activities. I am really touched!]

Just as everyone was getting ready to cut the cake, Ella was watching an image of her backside on the big screen and suddenly blurted out: [Wah, my butt looked really big!] That got everyone in the room roaring with laughter.

This autograph session for [My Station FM S.H.E] that was held at the 4th floor parking lot of Sungei Wang Plaza attracted over 700 fans coming to meet their idols and packed the whole parking lot.

NOTE:
JSG's Outstanding Performance Award is different from the 4 Stations one, JSG deems singers who haven't received a Gold Song award at their year round ceremony but have received awards at their seasonal selections are eligible. On the other hand, the 4 Stations has a requirement on the number of years in the industry (this is why Susanna Kwan is eligible for JSG's)

This is Leo Ku's first time winning Most Popular Male, Miriam's second time winning Most Popular Female (her last was 5 years ago)

Miriam breaks Joey's string of 5 straight wins at Most Popular Female Singer. This leaves Anita Mui's record intact.

Kevin Cheng & Linda Chung hopes rumors will end in the New Year; Haven't received Charmaine Sheh's New Years Message

Kevin Cheng & Linda Chung hopes rumors will end in the New Year, Saturday

January 3, 2009 Hong Kong

Last night, Kevin Cheng, Linda Chung and Kate Tsui attended a welcome to 2009 New Years event. The three of them had their own fans shouting for them. Speaking of the new year resolution, Kevin and Linda had the same wish and hope to have less rumors; Kate will be stepping into the music industry soon, she hopes that everyone will accept her as a singer.

Haven't received Charmaine Sheh's New Years Message

Kevin was asked if rumored girlfriend Charmaine Sheh had sent him a new years text message? He said that he does not like to text, but if friends do send him wishes, he will call them back to thank them. But he has not received a text message from Charmaine yet, if he does receive one, he will treat her like any other friend and call her back to thank her. He smiled and said that hopefully in 2009 his rumors could come to an end. Good health and career is enough. Just returned from his break, in the new year he will be filming 2 series. As to recently there has been many artistes entering the music industry, will he also release an album? Kevin said that he already done so in the past years, probably won't have any special memories. As for Linda who was said that rumored boyfriend Raymond Lam has to work and couldn't do a countdown together, Linda said that they haven't met up yet to celebrate. After singing, she went home and took some time to keep the memories of the jobs done in the past year. Because 2008 is probably her most prosperous year, she's more worried that in the coming year if she could maintain that. But she hopes that her new album could have more dance-fast songs.

2009: Ah Sa will have many opportunities

Thursday January 1, 2009 Hong Kong

http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=576163

Happy New Year! Finally 2008, which was filled shocks has ended, and we are now in 2009. Everyone's common wish is to go 'up', no matter whether it is in the stock markets, property markets, employees' salary, even happiness - everyone hopes that it will all go up. Even though Hong Kong's entertainment circle is being attacked by the impact of Taiwanese entertainers and the investment traction by the mainland, does it mean that Hong Kong has no more stars? We must not be discouraged, because there is always hope for Hong Kong - For Ah Sa 阿Sa (Charlene Choi 蔡卓妍), even though the future of Twins looks uncertain, Ah Sa is still staying strong, hence we are predicting that in 2009, she will be super red-hot!

The past year has been a rough one. At the start of the year, Twins won the 'Asia's Most Popular Female Singer' Award, reaching the peak of their careers. However, not one month later, the nude photo scandal erupted, and everything fell to the bottom at once. Ah Sa has never complained or said anything bad about her good friend, only worrying about Ah Jiao 阿嬌 (Gillian Chung 钟欣桐)'s feelings, and also having to be strong and facing the public by herself. Today, she is still popular with endorsers and is a box office guarantee. She can also stand on the stage by herself and receive prizes - this road could not have been an easy one.

Ah Sa laughed saying: "My experience this year has trained by EQ (Emotional Quotient) to be extremely high. I feel that I can now teach in lectures and share with everyone that journey of my heart, so that everyone will know how to deal with the point in life when you are the most disillusioned."

Journey will be difficult; Continues walking

Ah Sa admits that when she found out that she had to face a severe career crisis and a major life challenge, she was extremely caught off guard. "At the start, it really wasn't easy. Maybe everyone thought I was optimistic and brave, but the truth was that I was so scared to meet whatever that may come my way. I was very unhappy, frustrated and my heart ached. However, such feelings are gone after a while. The most important thing to do is to accept, then let go. Don't ever choose to escape whenever you are unhappy."

More than 300 days have passed since Twins last appeared on stage together, and Ah Sa still goes up alone. She said: "I told myself that the Earth would never stop spinning, hence I must continue on."

Ah Sa asked me if I had watched the movie, 'I Want to be Famous (我要成名)'? There was a scene where Tony Leung Ka-Fai (梁家輝) told Liu Qing Yun (劉青雲): "When you are an artiste, and when the whole world is looking down on you, you must keep holding on. As long as you're alive, you will have a chance." When Ah Sa was most frustrated, she watched this movie, which inspired her. No matter what problems she met later on, she would tell herself and Ah Jiao: "As long as I'm still alive, there is still opportunities for change."

Ah Jiao: During difficulties, true feelings are revealed

In this 8 years, she has seen her good partner Ah Jiao for almost every day. Though now, in this period of time she has to continue on her own, she has never thought that she had 'been dragged down'. "Maybe every one thought that my relationship with her were just working partners, but people have never understood my feelings... (At this point, Ah Sa's eyes were filled with tears and had to compose herself before continuing) 8 years ago, Ah Jiao and I were fighting together. In the middle of it all, we have gone through all the happiness and unhappiness together. Hence the thing that happened to her in 2008 meant that it happened to me at the same time. Her unhappiness is my unhappiness. Right now I finally understand what this sentence means: 'When you are at a moment of distress, the person who can stay by your side and overcome it with you, is the most important person in your life." Hence Ah Jiao and I are fate. I have never been afraid of Twins being disbanded, because we are an indelible group. I am 1/2 of Twins, my hardwork is Twins' hardwork."

Ah Sa told me in a determined tone: "In this 8 years, it has been so hard to get to what I am today. I will not give up easily, and I will continue working hard."

Twins reconcilation is not easy
'Did you prepare yourself that you might not be popular anymore?'

Ah Sa said: "The entertainment circle has changed so much. All these years I've seen many singers coming and disappearing. I was shocked, but I have not been scared that I would not be popular anymore. As an artiste, you will have to go through this. But I was shocked that the effort I had put in in the past had been denied."

'In this period of time, have you met with Ah Jiao for long?'

Ah Sa expressed: "As long as there is time, we will meet each other. Though we don't go up the stage and perform together anymore, our relationship is still good. There are time where we will meet for about an hour, but we don't find special topics to talk about. In one glance we can tell what we are thinking about." Ah Sa revealed that the company is now analysing the first step that Ah Jiao can take for her comeback. "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this step must be carefully planned out. There must be good timing, hence we have all prepared ourselves for the consensus that Twins will not be onstage in the near future."

'You grew up because of this matter. What about Ah Jiao? What are her feelings now?'

Ah Sa replied: "I am very happy that she is now back to being cheerful, and putting away everything that has happened. The most important thing is that she lives life happily. She has lots of motivation, and is now waiting for the time where she can meet everyone again." She laughed sayin: "As long as we are alive, we will have a chance."

Imporant role to play; Targets Taiwan

In 2008, Ah Sa's career has still been very smooth. She filmed 'Butterfly Lovers (武俠梁祝)', 'Passionate Years (歲月情)', and 'Storm Rider II (風雲II)', also guesting in 'All's Well, Ends Well 2009 (家有喜事2009)'. The songs she sang, 'Make a Wish' and 'Little Dimples (小酒窩)' won awards, and she filmed 8 commercials this year. She even has a musical tour of 6 stop, 'Cavalier Stars (騎士星光)' in Mainland China. For 'Butterfly Lovers', she went to Brunei, Japan and other parts of Southeast Asia for promotion. After going through a successful 2008, she will be extremely busy in 2009, because after she attends different big award ceremonies, she will be going to Taiwan to film an idol drama 'Calling Big Stars (呼叫大明星)' with 'bad boy idol' Mike He. When asked about the storyline, though it was still supposed to be kept secret, she revealed a little secret: "Will the Big Star be me? Or will it be Mike He? Of course it wouldn't be me."

Ah Sa watches drama to get to know Mike He

Talking about taking up the heavy responsibility of returning to Taiwan, Ah Sa asks: “Is it really heavy responsibility? Previously, when TWINS released album in Taiwan, the results were pretty good, I feel I am quite adapted to the work environment in Taiwan. But this is definitely a new experience. Basically, in the past, I have only filmed ‘The Monkey King’ and guested in ‘Kung Fu Soccer’. I feel I don’t have much experience in filming series, but since I am still young, I want to try an idol drama la.” Ah Sa is 26 years old, and indeed she is still youthful, and she especially met up with Mike He. Ah Sa said: “In the past, I’ve only watched ‘Meteor Garden’, and I really liked it. Afterwards, when I found out I was going to work with Mike, I watched a few episodes of his ‘Devil Beside You’, should at least find out a little about my partner.” Ah Sa has collaborated with many good-looking Taiwanese artists, including Wu Zun, Show Luo, Jay Chou and now Mike He, she’s had even more opportunities than Taiwanese female artists, and for this new drama, she will personally speak Mandarin.

No difficulties in speaking Mandarin

Ah Sa said: "Now my co-workers are all speaking mandarin, so I have to hurry and learn mandarin well. I remember the past when after Ah Jiao and I finished a day of work, we went back to the company to learn mandarin. Our eyes were all concentrating on the books, but right now I know that our hard work would have its rewards. I also have to ask reporters for their help. Many times when our pronounciation wasn't right, they would always correct us and help us." In the past, Twins won the 'Artiste with Worst Mandarin' award together with Ekin Cheng (鄭伊健) and Louis Koo (古天樂). However now Ah Sa can speak mandarin during filming, and all these are the rewards of her hard work.

In 2009, Ah Sa will continue filming two more movies, and she still has many commercials to come. Ever since 7 months ago, her work schedule will squeezed to the max. Even so, she does not have many plans for the future. She said: "Though I have always liked making plans for myself, but I have realised that the more you plan, the more flustered you would get whenever unexpected things happen in the future. It's better not to think too much into it, as long as there are good opportunities and chances, it is counted as a surprise."

Ah Sa, who has matured now, says musingly: "I understand that in this world, there are people who like me and support me; there are too people who don't like me and don't support me. Actually they can not care about me, because I am only performing for the people who support me." She is accepting and open minded, will this let everyone accept the return of Twins?

Bosco and Myolie. Holds hands for a minute and HK$300,000 goes into their pocket.
Saturday January 3, 2009 Hong Kong

The couple, Myolie and Bosco, has never admitted their relationship even after being rumoured for a few years already. When Bosco and Myolie started, they only attended little functions together but over a few years, the functions they are attending as a couple is increasing. Although many have regarded them as a couple, they still do not admit their relationship and uses this image to earn money together.

On 14th September, Mid-autumn festival, both Myolie and Bosco, as a couple, attended a function in Dong Guan(?) hosted by a travel agency. During that time, both of them did not interacted much and it is only when under the audience's request when they hooked their arm together. Wheather they are putting up a show to entertain the audience or wheather it comes from the heart, a heafty sum HK$300,000 is already in their pockets.

Riding on Moonlight Resonance popularity, Bosco was invited together with Myolie to attend a night function hosted by a local travel agency. The function is hosted for those 1000 people who came Dong Guan from HK to entertain them with songs and games.

The audience did not see Bosco and Myolie coming in together but rather, Bosco was seen first. Then, he sang two song and even came into contact with the audience. Other than that, he went to entertain the little children there and made funny expressions, which excluded his fatherly aura.

After going behind the stage, next was his female patner, Myolie. That day, she wore conservatively with a floral pattern shirt and jeans, with left no chance of her exposing herself. ( I think they were refering to the time when Myolie dressed revealingly) Like Bosco, Myolie also went down the stage and shook the audience's hand.

Maybe the orgainsers did not make special instructions, Bosco and Myolie only played games with the audience at the later part of the function. Other than that, they were busying signing their autograph for the audience and had almost no interactions with each other.

After waiting for a few hours, Bosco and Myolie sang a duet together. The goofy Bosco was sending eye signal to Myolie but Myolie treated him as if he was invisible and did not hold his hand when they were singing. It is only when the audience's murmers of "Hold her hand!" got louder, then Bosco could not take the pressure and invited Myolie to hook his hand which she obliged.

Even when they had this act of "imitacy", both of them still kept their stand and did not move towards each other. The song ended after a minute and both of them stayed for a few more hours before going off in the same car bach to HK. Just half a night being together and HK$300,000 goes into their pocket. So, like I ( P.O.V of article) said, being an artise, you have to find a suitable partner and you all can earn a lot of money together.

The continuation is about Myolie being a singer and the yellow box states how many functions did they attend together for this year and last year (which I am sure Boscolie fans know it by heart. ) Their total earned from these functions is HK$2,430,000.

Translations for the second page (from the right top corner):

- During the photo shots for her new album, Neway has prepared more than 10 sets of dresses for Myolie to choose, besides the make up artist, hair stylist, there are also 10 crews on set waiting to assist her. She was very nervous and anxious, after every shot, she will head for the computer to see the outcome.
-Myolie who has been busy filming, wants to look at her best when doing the photo shots for her album cover. hence, she specially took a day off to allow her skin to rest and applied cream on her arms to ensure that it is well moisturized.
- (With Hak Yu) Myolie and HaK Yu have plenty of scenes together in Chau Heng angers Tong Bak Fu.Facing the hot choice for this year's Best Actor Award, Myolie praised that he is a good actor.
- (With Bosco) Rumoured couples have signed on as singers, believed that they will have plenty of changes to sing duets and earn money.[/quote]

Change to a martial art girl

Myolie who is being chosen by top executives to film in Chau Heung angers Tong Bak Fu, have to prepare for various fighting scenes. One month before filming, she is already learning martial arts from a coach. Even if she has no time to rest, she still insists on practicing 1 to 2 hours everyday.

Last Wednesday (5th November 2008 ), Myolie has just finish her work at 4 in the morning, and at 3 in the afternoon, she is already back in TVB City, practicing with the sword and pole. The coach also requested her to do a split. Myolie who doesn't have any background in martial arts, followed the instructions clearly and do until the coach was satisfied.

" i have never film martial art dramas before, so rare that there is such a chance, so i have to learn from a coach. Although i don't have any background in it, but the coach felt that my limbs are quite flexible. In order to fight nicely and in the right way, sometimes i rather not rest, i will rather persevere and attend lessons." Myolie said as she did her warm up.

Bosco felt the pain

Change of path, Myolie will be competing in the Newcomer Award in the Music Industry. Even though the music market is so so now, but Recording Company Neway Star has invested more than a million. Besides having creating a 100 thousand dollars MV, they have also organised a mini concert for Myolie in Macau next month. Compared to another company under Neway, Linda chung who is under Neway Entertainment have to look for her rumoured boyfriend to be her MV main actor.

In addition, since she has been doing couple appearances with Bosco at various events, there are chances anytime for her and her boyfriend to work on a duet and sing love songs together. With regards to a duet, Bosco who has just joined East Asia Recording company, has no objections at all... "i have no idea if there will be a duet, but even if there is this idea on a duet, also have to wait till the arrangements done by our recording companies, if the companies feel that it is suitable, i will definitely listen and do it."

As for Myolie going into the martial arts track (for her new drama), Bosco feels the pain in his heart... "i feel that if have to fight, before the filming, have to definitely do some preparations first. Definitely must be careful and safety comes first." Earlier, Myolie has hurt her two arms while filming, although it is nothing serious, but as a boyfriend, Bosco didn't forget to remind her.

Kary Ng is afraid to repair her computer
Thursday November 27, 2008 Hong Kong

Kary Ng, Theresa Fu, Pakho Chau and Sammy Leung went to Cyberport yesterday to promote new cell phones. Kary wore a sexy tube dress which stole attention from others. She said she would normally take pictures of objects and claimed she would be very careful. That's why she had never lost her cell phone, purse etc. But Kary admitted that she was afraid her personal information would be leaked to the public. She is even afraid to repair her faulty computer. As for whether the sex photo scandal had influenced her? She said that it had made her be more careful about privacy.

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. Actually since entering the industry I have been taking notice of Edison. I admire his work in films and his price earnings is different to mine. I am still a newcomer".

Lollipop Addicted to "Short Movies"
Wednesday November 26, 2008 Taiwan

http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549452

[2008-11-26] Last week Lollipop came to Singapore to promote their “Hei Tang Qun Xia Zhuan” OST and also performed together with Energy at Music Monster Festival.

Their debut show “Mo Fan Bang Bang Tang” already changed to 2nd batch of didis, the 6 of them are upgraded to hosts.

There’s a rumor that Lollipop will be filming a movie but they didn’t reply about it, instead they said they are currently filming some short video clips. Their first production will be named as “Kung Fu”, with A Wei writing the script, acting lots of characters along with Ao Quan and Wei Lian.

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.

How to be qualified as a Mo Fan "Didi"?
The 6 of them points out a good point about themselves hoping the new didis will follow.

Xiao Yu: Able to be serious
Wang Zi: Well manners and modesty
Xiao Jie: Where you fell is where you stand up
Wei Lian: Have your own style
A Wei: Open up yourself when performing
Ao Quan: Equal handsome as him

Pet Dogs – Relationship that will Never Change

URL5: http://ol.mingpao.com/cfm/star5.cfm?File=2.../saa03/mze5.txt

http://gallery.asianfanatics.net/index.php?act=image&pid=549413
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

2008-11-27T15:18:00.000-08:00

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

2008-11-27T15:10:00.000-08:00

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

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.

Linda Chung spending Christmas with Raymond Lam, "happy to death"

Wednesday November 26, 2008 Hong Kong

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

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.'

* JJ WORLD TOUR 2009
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

Wednesday November 26, 2008 Hong Kong

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.

Won't Feel Uneasy Taking Intimate Photos

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.

Ah Gil concentrates on studying, rejects a chance to work with Ethan Ruan and will conquer Taiwan next year.

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”

2008-11-11T08:54:00.000-08:00

Chun picks up a female fan during one of the games making many people envious.

Chun, Jiro, Arron and Calvin celebrate their website's one year anniversary with over 500 fans coming from various locations.

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!"

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
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
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.

Linda Chung challenges Tavia Yeung on being "more revealing"; Can Be Beautiful

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."

Linda : No need to wear jewelry if you are pretty enough

Linda Chung went to The Emperor Watch & Jewellery to try on some jewelries yesterday. There were 6 sets of jewelries for her to chose. She was hoping to wear the most expensive set on the night of award presentation. There was one set worth $4,700,000 dollars. Linda revealed in the past all the female artists were dressed up very conservatory and very well presented. But this year, she reckoned everyone would dressed up very sexy evening gown. Speaking about Sharon Chan who may notbe wearing any jewelry, Linda responded "Everone has real "bust", can't be fake!" She misunderstood the reporter's question, did not get the real meaning of what the reporter was hinting. When she found out what it was, she laughed "You don't need jewelry if you are pretty enough."

Charlene Choi says Joey Yung is a big-mouth; praises Chun for being a good man

Sunday November 9, 2008 Hong Kong

Leon Lai, Charlene Choi, Denise Ho, Miriam Yeung, Hacken Lee, Priscilla Chan, Hins Cheung and other artists yesterday all participated in a charity concert and they sung golden classics.

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.

Steven Ma Wishes For A Better Economy

Tuesday October 28, 2008 Hong Kong

Steven Ma's 37th birthday was on October 26. On that day, he had to work at the studio from morning until night, filming for "Dogs on the Beat". He didn't know that Kara Hui, along with Helen Ma and the rest of the filming crew were going to hold a surprise party for him. Kara and Helen were filming for "Wives and Concubines" that day. When midnight came, they appeared with a birthday cake to celebrate with Steven. On the other hand, Linda and the filming crew for "Dogs on the Beat" also brought Steven two cakes. Having to cut three cakes at the same time, it felt as if he was holding a huge eating party right in the studio. Steven Ma felt very touched by the care his friend have for him. His birthday wish this year is for Hong Kong's economy to get better. He felt that although he didn't buy any stocks, if the economy worsens, it will affect all of the citizens. He hopes that everyone worldwide will be able to live a better life.

Hebe’s $30,000,000 New Home Revealed; New Look in Selina’s Fringe Brings Unexpected Good Luck in Gambling

2008-10-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

Hebe’s $30,000,000 New Home Revealed
Tuesday October 28, 2008 Taiwan

Since 2005, Ella and Selina became property-owners successively. Until last year, Hebe also purchased a new house. With her low profile, if she was not captured on camera by reporters, she would probably still keep mum about her house-owner status.

Having purchased a new house for her family and keeping hush for a year, she was proud when probed, “I am super low profile! But since you all discovered it, there is no need to keep it a secret anymore.”

She is currently staying alone as her parents are in Xing Zhu. However they would visit her occasionally. “I always wanted a place in Taipei so that my family can live more comfortably when they visit me.” The locality of her new place is accessible and quite safe, but it was not her ideal. “Actually this district is not my prime choice. I actually wanted to purchase a place near Shi Da road, and be Ella’s neighbor. However the property prices soared too quickly. The price of the initial house that I wanted rose by $10,000,000 within a year, and I could only give it up as I could not bear to buy it.”

The trio shared the same ambition. They had stayed together in a girls’ dormitory when they first entered the entertainment industry. However the trio is concerned about their family and would always put their family’s welfare before themselves. Now, being proud property-owners, their main reason is really still for the sake of taking better care of their family. Among the trio, Ella is the first to own a house. She felt that it would offer a sense of security and save her the hassle of moving every other year. She explained, “One reason is that I really have too many things at home. It is very troublesome to move them around; hence getting a house would be more stable.” She added, property investment is considered one of the more stable ventures. “Despite property prices falling, compared to stocks and shares, the risks are still relatively lower!” Given Ella’s shrewd acumen, she definitely does not appear like just another pop idol-singer. She analyzed further from a professional viewpoint, “I thought, rather than paying rent to another person monthly, it would be better for me to be paying off the installment for the house instead. At the end of the installment payments, the house would be mine. Won’t that be more worth the while?” Her thinking also influenced S and H subsequently. 2 years ago, S spent $20,000,000 in Tian Mu to buy a place for her family and subsequently, a smaller apartment in Jian Guo Bei Road. However she only got the house this year and was even spotted by the media when she meet her new boyfriend there. In the twinkle of the eye, S has already become the proud owner of 2 houses. She shared that her father advised the trio to invest in property; as regardless of property prices, they could still use the property to earn rental.

The trio shares a closely knitted relationship and hopes to become neighbors. But Ella said, “It’s a pity that we each have our own considerations - preferences and needs when it comes to choosing a house. It is difficult to find the ideal house that meets all our requirements.” Ella requires a large house in view of her big family. On the contrary, Selina prefers a smaller place as she is timid and afraid of ghosts, especially if the place is too big. Meanwhile, Hebe has simpler requirements in choosing a house.

Even before their thirties, the trio already owned houses. Each of them has different likings, such as Ella prefers a large hall so that everyone could gather around to catch up or watch television programmes together. As her family runs a restaurant, H prefers to a beautiful and functional kitchen. As for Selina, she prefers a house fully equipped with convenient functions.

When on the topic of houses, the trio could not hide their excitement just like if they were addicted to purchasing houses and were planning to invest further on property. S said, “There is a sense of achievement when you see your family living comfortably.” She even fantasized, “I think there is a place that fits all our bill. It is Di Bao*! Each of us will have one mansion and we can live together!”

New Look in Selina’s Fringe Brings Unexpected Good Luck in Gambling

Known for her favorite pastime to play mahjong, S has been on a winning streak since she had her new haircut. Even she was stunned at her good luck!

Since entering the industry, she always maintained her long hair without fringe. But during her recent trip to Hang Zhou, while in transit at Hong Kong, she purchased a Japanese fashion magazine and was tempted to follow a Japanese model’s hairstyle. Despite her rush and packed schedule in Hang Zhou, she insisted for her hairstylist to trim her fringe accordingly before performing.

Different from Hebe’s girlish fringe look, Selina’s new fringe look has a more layered feel with a touch of sexiness and maturity. She said proudly, “Now I am a sexy lady!” She had not counted on her new fringe to bring forth good luck until she played mahjong when back in Taipei. Her streak of 10 straight wins got everyone so stunned that even she felt queasy. Subsequently she continued to win the other 3 parties all the way!

In fact Selina has good luck in gambling all along, even Ella and Hebe said she would win 9 out of 10 times. Therefore the 2 of them do not like to play with her. However Selina’s recent winning streak got herself pleasantly surprised too and she was puzzled. Upon reflecting, she realized, “It must be due to my fringe! I did not change anything else except that, and it’s the first time I encountered such successive wins!” Thus, she was full of praise for her new fringe.

S.H.E Teaches Jay Chou The Secret of “Chasing Women”

2008-10-28T14:06:00.000-07:00

[2008.10.26 Sohu News]

Yesterday, S.H.E, bringing their newest album [FM S.H.E], arrived in Beijing. During their exclusive interview with Sohu Entertainment, the three discussed what they considered a good man: considerate, generous, talented, responsible, worship-worthy…amidst the conversation, Hebe even mentioned that Jay Chou had composed one of the songs in the album. In comparison to the flurry of romantic rumors previously, she seemed to be very open about it.

Jay Chou Contribution for the New Album
No Fear of Romantic Rumors from Hebe

In their exclusive interview with Sohu Entertainment, S.H.E who was working hard to promote their new album, openly revealed that one of the songs in the album “Silence” was composed by Hebe’s rumored boyfriend Jay Chou. This was not the first time Jay collaborated with them. The earlier romantic rumor was also started with Hebe collaborating with him on his MV “Going Backward”. This time with him helping out again, the female lead in this romantic rumor, Hebe, profusely praised the song written by Jay Chou as being very good, without any hints of intentionally dodging the issue. Her open attitude was as if the romantic rumor had never happened.

S.H.E Reveals Their Standards for an Ideal Man
Teaches the Secret of Chasing Women

When asked as their standards for an ideal man, the three each had their own ideas: For Selina, an ideal man must be honest and responsible; Ella’s ideal man must be comfortable and easy to get along; only Hebe’s standard for an ideal man was more special – “He must be have some type of specialty that can make me worship him.” There seemed to be a wealth of meaning between the lines.

There were also men that S.H.E particularly disliked, such as men that are “petty, disagreeable…” and other similar characteristics. At the same time, they also revealed to all men their close-kept secret of “chasing women”: [If she says “I love you” 1000 times to you, then you have to say “I love you” back 1001 times. Afterwards hug her and kiss her. Then everything will be OK.

Bosco Wong has not tried Myolie Wu's cooking

Sunday October 26, 2008 Hong Kong

Bosco Wong demonstrated his cooking skills in a promotion function yesterday. The chefs gave Bosco 98% for his performance. He was also praised that men who know how to cook are most sexy. He will not request his girlfriend to know how to cook because he can cook and that's enough. But a girl that know's how to make soup is a basic requirement.

Bosco has always liked cooking. He previously went to his god mother's Dai Pai Dong to learn from the chefs there. But because he was afraid of the hot atmosphere he didn't choose to become one. (Asked if Myolie Wu admired his cooking?) He laughed and said he only cooked for her once and was also caught by the reporters. On that day, many friends went to Myolie's home for a party and he was responsible for the cooking. Myolie had not tried his cooking recently. He laughed and said he heard that Myolie doesn't know how to cook and hasn't had a chance to try her cooking.

Gigi Lai Announces Retirement

2008-10-26T13:56:00.000-07:00

Gigi Lai Announces Retirement

20 October 2008

TVB's entertainment magazine programme Scoop <東張西望> held a special premiere event for the airing of the first episode of grand production The Gem Of Life <珠光寶氣> this evening. Among the cast members taking part were Gigi Lai (黎姿), Lee Si Kei (李司棋), Ada Choi (蔡少芬), Moses Chan (陳豪), Maggie Siu (邵美琪) and Bowie Lam (林保怡).

During the show, Gigi made a surprise announcement that she will be retiring from showbiz so that she can concentrate on looking after her brother's business and caring for her family. She said that Gem will be her last performance in a series and her interview on Scoop will be her last formal appearance.

Asked if she was making this decision because she plans to get married, Gigi said that this was not the case. As for whether or not she still has any contractual obligations with TVB, she pointed out that she will always be a TVB person, regardless of any contracts between them.

When Gigi was asked how long it had taken her to reach this decision, she replied that she had thought about it when she first started filming for Gem and then some other incidents that she did not want to talk about also swayed her decision. She said that she felt an obligation to fulfil her duties to help promote this series, so she has waited until this work was completed before she made this announcement.

After giving almost three decades of her life to the entertainment industry, Gigi said that she would like to take some time out to pursue her own interests, such as studying and spending time with her family. She explained that she could not balance running the business with her acting work, so she had to give up one of her jobs.

Gigi thanked the support given to her by her co-stars, especially Ada, Maggie and Si Kei, during the difficult times when her brother Stephen (黎嬰) suffered horrific injuries in a road accident. When she spoke about her brother, Gigi became quite emotional and began to cry, making Ada quite teary too.

Ada said that Gigi will be missed by everyone, but the most important thing was for her to be happy. She added that she felt privileged to have filmed several series with her and she sees Gigi as a sister

Other co-stars also supported Gigi's decision and Moses said that he admired her for her courage and strength through such difficult times and he wished her every happiness.

Si Kei was quite shocked when she saw Gigi crying because she did not know what was happening. She praised Gigi for being a very remarkable woman, who is extremely dedicated to her family, so she will always look out for Gigi.

The 80-episode Gem premiered today in Hong Kong and will run until February 2009.

Kate, Ana R and Lisa S were modeling for a fashion label. Kate told reporters she is lucky due to "Moonlight Resonance", that her workload hasn't reduced even with the economic crises. Asked if she has pressure to compete with the other models who have better figure and taller than her, Kate responded "I can't help it. I am famous for being petite. But I am satisfied with myself being an artist. In fact I am 165cm in height and I consider myself average. I am keeping fit but I admire some of the models's figure."

Speaking about the recent rumor that Kevin Cheng was called "Wai Siu Bo"韋小寶, Kate responded "I don't believe he is that type. It was impossible that he was involved with 6 of them." Asked if she might be the 7th , Kate laughed " Noway, I am not that lucky. I don't look down on myself, but with my height, you can't see anything down."

Raymond Lam Album sales reach Platinum Disc Sales

Raymond Lam Album sales reach Platinum Disc Sales

Sunday October 12, 2008, Hong Kong

Raymond Lam's second album (My Love) has sold over 30,000 copies. Yesterday evening Emperor Entertainment Group record company specifically held a celebration party for him. EEG Executive Ng Yu awarded him with a Platinum Disc. There were also 5 tables arranged for an abalone feast. TVB executive's Stephen Chan and Virginia Lok were also present to support him. Vincy Chan also attended his party and gave him flowers. You can see that Raymond Lam is loved by everybody.

Raymond Lam frankly said he did not know his album sales will reach platinum disc sales because his first album only reached gold disc sales. When he received the good news he was quite shocked. He would like to Thank his record company and TVB for co-ordinating with each other. So that he could fully promote his album. The reporter referred that both companies are very fond of him. Raymond Lam said that in future he will try harder to repay everyone. He is currently preparing for his third album.

Will Raymond Lam hold a solo concert? He said frankly that he would like to have his own concert but he has only released 2 albums, there won't be enough songs so he has to take his time. When referring to the news reports about Kevin Cheng dating 6 female stars recently. Raymond said that Kevin Cheng is (Very Man). But he felt the news reports were just for public entertainment. Each artist has a list of rumours and everyone shouldn't mind too much.

TVB Executive Virginia Lok also said it was impossible for Kevin Cheng to date 6 girls and asked" Is he really that attractive?". She laughed and said she felt Raymond Lam had more charm because he can sing. But when the reporter pointed out Kevin Cheng was once a singer, Virginia Lok apparently didn't know how to respond. Ng Yu also teased Virgina Lok by saying "If they add you as well that makes 7". When she heard this she replied "I can be his mother?".

She meant that if Kevin Cheng wanted to be Wai Siu Bo he can apply for a permit. But she felt his personality isn't like that.

Kevin Cheng 1 dragging 6 other actresses, turns into Wai Siu Bo

Saturday October 11, 2008 Hong Kong

Yesterday magazine reports say that Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow has been going on for five years, during these years TVB's 6 female including Mandy Cho and Sharon Chan were also part of it. Coincidentally Kevin and these female artistes attended "Watson Health & Beauty Awards Night and Charity Feast 2008" (「屈臣氏健康美麗大賞暨慈善晚宴2008」), making it the main focus, unfortunately Sharon Chan arrived early and did not get a chance to take pictures with Kevin and Sharon. When Kevin and Mandy were taking pictures together, there was not a sign of awkwardness. Kevin even joked that he could have 7 wives and could suggest to TVB about a new ancient drama series about Wai Siu Bo.

Sharon said Kevin is not her cup of tea

Often when Kevin is asked about his rumors, his face would turn black, but last night he seems to have changed and even laughed: "Right now I'm 1 dragging 6, I'm going to turn into Wai Siu Bo (韋小寶) soon, and could film a new ancient drama. (You think you're a Wai Siu Bo?) How about you (reporters) ask if he wants it! He is a lot smarter than me, How can I be Wai Siu Bo. Next time say that I'm gay, or maybe I got another son." Speaking of Sharon praising Kevin in front of Reporters saying that he's a handsome guy, Kevin smiles and said that he needs to treat her to a meal, also said: "flowers in my eyes, but I can't drag so many at once, I'm not Wai Siu Bo!" As for the endless rumors, Kevin tld reporters that whatever they write, he cannot control it, but he can't be that nervous about it, just take it as promotion. If get nervous, the stories will get even more ridiculous.

Facing rumors, Sharon expressed the same way, need to relax, she said: "I collaborated with Kevin 3 or 4 times already, in the past we were both under the same manager too, but he treats me as a boy, so there is no chance for us to be dating." She said that Kevin is not her cup of tea, so in the future if she sees him she won't be avoiding him or feel awkward, but she feels that Kevin isn't a playboy, she said: "He is a professional and handsome guy, also he's quite serious with his work and is obedient, but We won't have any chances for development. Because I like guys that are not handsome and are fat!" As for Mandy, she laughed at the rumors, she said: "We collaborated in a series and advertisements, but did not date, we see each other and did not feel awkward at all, (How do you feel about him?) I only filmed one series with him, I feel that he treats all newcomers with care. (He suggested that TVB should film a series where he's Wai Siu Bo?) Work schedule, let our company arrange it."

Gigi Lai will use her Brother's name to build a new school

Also, that night other guests included: Liza Wang, Nancy Sit, Sonjia Kwok, Gigi Lai, Lau Siu Bo, Chan Siu Bo and Chai Sai Kit, etc. Gigi reveal that she just returned from touring Gwai Jau, it was a drive of more than 8 hours, also many mountain and narrow roads, which 'bumped' her backbone a bit, she almost fell down the mountain. So when she returned to HK she immediately went to the doctors to get her back treated! Although getting there was hard, but she felt its worth it, especially when she saw the kids there. The children needed to get over the mountains to go to school, she felt touched, she almost wanted to take them back to HK and adopt them. Gigi plans to open a new children school and name it after her Brother (Lai Ying), she explains that she doesn't want to use her own name because the word "Ying" has more meaning.

Chun celebrates his birthday; Fahrenheit and S.H.E play a joke on him

Saturday October 11, 2008 Taiwan

The day before yesterday was Chun’s birthday, and during the concert rehearsal, the other 3 members of Fahrenheit and S.H.E played a joke on him, luckily there was a big birthday cake and crabs to celebrate afterwards. Chun said that his birthday wish is that he hopes he won’t lose another cellphone, because this year, he has lost a total of 6 cellphones, including the one he lost recently in Hang Zhou.

Yesterday, Fahrenheit and S.H.E held a concert in Hang Zhou. The day before that, during the rehearsal, S.H.E was initially supposed to come out in a jewellary box prop, but for some reason, the box wouldn’t open. The workers thumped and thumped, and it made the director very angry and he yelled out. The atmosphere was quite awkward, and it made Chun stiffly stuck on-stage. However, this was all fake, and the jewellary box opened revealing a huge birthday cake!

Chun suddenly realized what was happening, and he laughed and accepted this birthday blessing. He even grabbed the microphone and yelled out to fans outside, "Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday with me!" Afterwards, the other 3 Fahrenheit members each ate 2 crabs, but "Food King" Chun confessed, "I think I ate too much birthday cake before."

Chun’s birthday wish is very straightforward, hoping that he won’t lose any more cellpones. The other 3 members of Fahrenheit joked saying that they should give him 10 cellphones as a birthday gift, and firmly bind it to Chun.

Losing 6 cellphones, Chun said that he doesn’t even have time to enter new numbers and his biggest trouble is that "friend’s numbers are all gone, I think my friends might think I’ve become alienated."

Sonija wants to get married next year

Saturday October 11, 2008 Hong Kong

Sonija is busy attending different functions lately. She has been avoiding the reporters since the rumors that she was the 3rd person involved in Michael Tao's divorce. She was in the studio filming "Starry Kitchen" yesterday. Mr. Chow, the chef was preparing 5 dishes and a soup. The chef reckoned Sonija is now ready to be a housewife next year because she is good in her cooking and she is beautiful. Sonija laughed "I also want to get married next year, but I don't know to whom? I know it is very important for a woman to learn how to cook. If a woman has a rating of 100%, it would go up to 150% if she can cook."

Sonija doesn't mind getting married quite quickly if she has the chance. "I see how happy Kelly is. She can have a career and a happy family as well. I wish I can do that too. To me marriage is forever and I won't get a divorce once I am married. Otherwise I would rather remain single."

Kevin lost a 7 figure sum in shares

Thursday, October 9, 2008 Hong Kong

Kevin had an interview at the Metro City yesterday. He disclosed that he lost a 7 figure sum in shares through the recent economy crises. "I bought the shares earlier on, but I was so busy that I was not paying attention to the market. I didn't hear from Dodo to sell them quickly. I have now changed the remaining shares into my mom's name. They would stay there for 10 years as my retirement funds."

Kevin originally planned to use those shares as an investment to buy properties. But now he has to start saving again. Asked if he would buy more shares since they are at a low price, he replied "I don't know if I would. I have to concentrate to earn more money now. To be honest, between shares and property, I would rather invest in property."

Twins fans demand an apology from S.H.E

Thursday October 9, 2008 Hong Kong

Since the Edison sex scandal, the image of Twins have been affected because of Gillian (Ah Gill). She hasn't been out in the public eye for a while and Charlene (Ah Sa) has been busy coping on her own. There has been reports that Twins would be back together next year. At the same time, the girl band S.H.E was reportedly said on (FM S.H.E) that "Twins have disappeared and they don't exist any more. We can only remember them." As a result, Twins fans were furious about the comment and they demand an apology from S.H.E.

The Taiwanese media wanted to clarify that report. Although S.H.E hasn't replied directly, a spokesperson speaking on their behalf of the company replied "It was from the news that they knew about the disband of Twins. If that is not true, let's hope we can see Twins new record again soon."

S.H.E Advocates “Girls Ought To Be Strong” by Practising “The Art of Self Defence in Love”

2008-10-10T18:49:00.000-07:00

S.H.E Advocates “Girls Ought To Be Strong” by Practising “The Art of Self Defence in Love”ELLA Inspired by “Sighting” While Recording, Injected New Ideas into Song19 October, SHE Looks Forward to Singing Aloud with Fans
Wednesday October 8, 2008 Taiwan

S.H.E practises “The Art of Self Defence in Love” to fight the conventional societal ideals of beauty. The trio advocates for girls not to be just concerned with looks, but also to be confident and “Girls’ Ought To Be Strong”. In their MV, the trio took on the roles of Love Coaches to listen to the love problems of the girls and encourage them to stand up for themselves. In addition, SHE also extends their invitation to fans to join them for the “S.H.E TOP GIRL New Songs Concert” on 19 October. Please visit www.him.tw for more details.

In their latest album FM S.H.E, one of the new songs – “Girls Ought To Be Strong” adapted part of its tune from Wong Fei Hong’s “Men Ought To Be Strong”. The music genre is the line of “Chin-Hop”, a blend of Chinese music and Hip-Hop. The lyrics encouraged girls not to be beaten in Love, and the need to be true to and love themselves; advocating for strong female awareness. A martial arts coach was invited to teach S.H.E “The Art of Self Defence in Love” in preparation for filming of the MV. The 1st stunt is to kick away the Poor Love that broke the hearts of the girls; while the 2nd stunt is to open one’s arms to welcome New Romance. The 3rd stunt is to learn how to Protect and Love oneself while in a relationship. Next, S.H.E imparted these stunts to the rest of the girls trapped in love and encouraged them to be independent and stand up for themselves. There is no need to wait in vain for Prince Charming to appear, but to be proactive to embark on the journey to Protect Love.

S.H.E expressed that, “No one is perfect. Hence, do not compromise in love just because you feel inferior. We girls, must be confident of ourselves. If you have loved the wrong person, just get out and move on. Only then will you eventually meet Mr Right!” Meanwhile, “Mdm Xi Bi” who addressed fans’ love problems on air in FM SHE weekly, offered her usual advice to all the girls indecisive in love, “That person is not the only one on Earth, no point wallowing in sorrow over him”.

While practising their stunts, S.H.E had fun sparring with each other too. However when the trio donned the hot-trendy-sexy-babe outfit while filming, they had to stifle their laughter as they felt that the clothes were contradictory and out of place with Chinese Kungfu. Subsequently, the trio changed into sportswear to act as Love Coaches and listened to the array of love problems of the girls present. SHE found the love problems beyond their imagination and felt for their heartaches, in the end, they also joined the girls to swear and cry.

S.H.E has always been very independent, but occasionally when faced with love problems, they would feel lost too. While recording “Girls Ought To Be Strong” in the studio, Ella suddenly saw a fleeting shadow behind the recording producer and was scared stiff. She was stunned momentarily before she “escaped” from the studio. Pale-faced and with a quiver in her voice, she asked the recording producer, “Did you see anything just now?” Ella has never met with any strange encounters in the company’s recording studio prior to this; but once she composed herself after the incident, she was inspired and felt even more for the song. Therefore she took the initiative to suggest different ideas to the producer to enrich the singing parts of the song. In the past, Ella would be in-charge of the Rap parts in SHE’s songs. However upon Ella, Selina and Hebe’s discussion, they decided to do the Rap together to bring out the impact of the song to encourage girls to stand up for themselves in Love. As a result, the effect was indeed very good. The trio felt that they are actually cheering for, and encouraging themselves to be brave in love too, when singing this song.

For most time in the past year, S.H.E had held concerts overseas. Hence on 19 October, to the delight of many fans in Taiwan, S.H.E will hold the “S.H.E TOP GIRL New Songs Concert” in Selina’s school. SHE reveals that other than performing the new songs from “FM SHE”, they will also be showing off their new dance steps.

"Butterfly Lovers" Beijing premiere; Chun, Charlene & Hu Ge promote

2008-10-10T18:31:00.000-07:00

"Butterfly Lovers" Beijing premiere; Chun, Charlene & Hu Ge promote
Thursday October 9, 2008 Taiwan

Upcoming movie “Butterfly Lovers” is about to air and yesterday, main leads Chun, Charlene, Hu Ge and actions director Chen Xiao Dong came to Beijing to promote. During an interview, when talking about the plot of 2 guys chasing one girl in the movie, Charlene and Hu Ge both laughed and said that in this movie, the story should allow for one girl to have more than one husband, this way, the ending of the movie will not seem as tragic and sad.

This modern version of “Butterfly Lovers” uses the original version as a base, but includes many new fresh things, such as including in the spirit of martial arts and also using traditional costumes incorporated in the modern concept of love. Charlene’s performance in this movie received praises from not only the director, but also the 2 male leads. Director Ma said that although Charlene is a bit tom-boy, her acting as a girly feminine girl was surprisingly good. Also, in the movie, she and Harlem, who plays a grass-head uncle, adds a lot of funny scenes into the movie. For example, when she goes into the mountains with her father’s scroll painting, to find grass-head. When grass-head opens the scroll, the picture is actually of a bald fat man. Grass-head shakes his head and says to her, “I’ve eaten the wrong grass medicine, lead to diarrhoea, and then I turned skinny, and even hair started growing on my head. Aii, too bad, look at how dashing I was back then!”

Earlier, when Charlene was promoting “Butterfly Lovers”, she had said that if this was her first time filming, she would’ve fallen in love with Chun, and after photos of them eating dinner together came out, the media titled it as “evidence” of their love. However, Charlene firmly insists that she and Chun are only in love in the movie. She says, “Everytime I go eat dinner with anyone, the media will use it to create rumours, and this makes me speechless, but afterwards even photos were taken, so hence we used this chance for promotion so we made a huge sign and came out holding it. Since the media will not write anything good about me, might as well take this as a good opportunity to get more people to notice our movie.” She also jokingly said that she and Hu Ge are “wine/meat buddies”; everyone eating dinner together is very normal.

Hu Ge describes Chun as a holy knight; Charlene says Hu Ge is "gay"

In the movie, the 3 main leads’ good understanding of each other and co-operation leaves a deep imprint on the audience, naturally the media will not want to let go of the chance for the 3 of them to give opinions about each other. Hence, they requested this. Hu Ge said that from the beginning he was very impressed by Chun: “If I was to say, I think that Chun is like a knight, actually if I was to say more correctly, a holy knight, because in the game, holy knights not only belong to a career where fight capacity exceeds all others, but also can help other people to heal.” Hu Ge continued and said, “In other words, this means that he looks tough on the outside, but on the inside, he has a warm heart.” Chun expressed that he really likes Mel Gibson’s character in “Braveheart”, “like those very tender and passioniate people, I hope that in the future, I can have more those kinds of roles.”

On the topic of Charlene, Hu Ge praised her for being a little pixie, but a good pixie, not those evil ones. He says that anywhere that has Charlene there, will be very lively and have a good atmosphere. Finally, Hu Ge says that he himself is a wizard. Charlene also praises Hu Ge, using her not fluent Mandarin and saying that he is “ Not Ji (meaning unrestricted)”. However, in Mandarin, this word sounds like “Gay” and this almost gave Hu Ge a heart attack, “GAY? Scared me to death, I thought you said I’m gay!”

Chun's awkward situation with his Mandarin

Although Chun has recently become very popular in the music industry, in the movie world, he is a still a newbie. Yesterday, at the press conference, it was noticed that he was very nervous. It was not until small group of reporters started interviewing, that he relaxed. When a female reporter praised his good body and said that a lot of girls screamed in the audience when they saw him topless in the movie. Chun thought seriously for a while before saying that this shouldn’t be something that strange. However, the most cold humour was during Charlene’s interview. When Charlene was describing the storyline of the movie to reporters, she used “Zhong Xi He Bi” (meaning Chinese and Western combined) to describe the movie, grafting between the 2 stories of “Butterfly Lovers” and “Romeo and Juliet”. Born in Brunei, Chun suddenly very seriously cut in and asked, “What’s Zhong Xi He Bi?” Reporters at the scene thought that he was playing cold humour, but his manager awkwardly explained that “Chun’s vocabulary does not have these words” and hence Charlene had to explain in detail to him what it meant!

Leila becomes mom, challenging acting skills

Monday October 6, 2008 Hong Kong

Leila tong, Samuel Pang, and Maggie Siu (邵美琪) will be working together in Dennis Law‘s new film. Leila will act a mother who has a lot of mental problems; knowing that her boyfriend sexually harassed her daughter but still does not say anything. There are a lot of more personal scenes, giving Leila’s acting skills a huge test. Dennis Law said, “I think Leila’s acting is really good. The character’s inner feelings are very complex and I really want Leila to act this part. This movie combines some of the more recent styles of detective movies into it. The main female character is a woman who knows that her boyfriend has sexually harassed her daughter, but says nothing about it. In the end she personally kills her daughter. At first I thought Leila wouldn’t agree to this part, but after she read the script she thought the character would be a big challenge for her and she accepted it”.

The main male character is to be played by Samuel Pang, who acts as Leila’s boyfriend. Dennis Law said, “Samuel considered it for a long time before finally agreeing to act in it. I am really grateful of him and Leila. Although this movie has some sensitive subjects about it, but there won’t be any graphical content.” Maggie Siu will act as a top policewoman, she will often times be very violent. It will be a new challenge!

"Butterfly Lovers" Hong Kong premiere; Charlene becomes Chun's 'bride'

2008-10-06T19:01:00.000-07:00

Monday October 6 2008, Taiwan
Yesterday, Chun, Charlene and Director Ma attended the first premiere of “Butterfly Lovers” in Hong Kong. In just 5 more days, it will be Chun’s birthday and he joked and said that Charlene hasn’t even given him a present yet. He said that perhaps he should just go straight out and tell her what his birthday wish is, so rich lady Charlene can buy it for him. At the premiere, there was a small mock wedding ceremony and Charlene expressed that in real life, she hopes that she can have a very simple wedding with many close friends. She also said that Gillian was scared that there were too many people, so she did not attend, but she will personally go to the cinema to watch the movie to support Charlene!

At the premiere, the scene is very different from the tragic ending of the movie. Charlene, dressed in red, enters the scene in a palanquin, and Chun uses his sword from “Butterfly Lovers” to lift up the flap and welcome his “bride”. The whole scene was very romantic. Reporters and fans also helped them to heat up the atmosphere, and yelled out “Kiss her, kiss her”. The publics’ enthusiasm made Charlene feel a bit awkward, and Chun just pretended to not hear them. The 2 directors Director Ma and Chen Xiao Dong gave the pair a rattan as a gift, hoping that it will help Charlene to discipline her “husband”.

Chun considers Chinese wedding; Charlene prefers simple wedding

Born in Brunei, Chun has never seen such a traditional style wedding like this before, so when the traditional Chinese wedding song was played while he accompanied Charlene to the scene, Chun felt very curious. He said that for his wedding, he may consider this type of wedding style. As for Charlene, she that although riding in the palanquin was quite fun, but she said she would rather prefer a simple wedding.

Celebrating birthday in Hang Zhou

October 10th is Chun’s birthday, and as Fahrenheit have another concert on the 11th in Hang Zhou, Chun’s birthday will also be celebrated in Hang Zhou. After entering the entertainment industry for 3 years, because of work, he cannot celebrate his birthday with his family but Chun says that he doesn’t think it’s a pity because lately, he has been promoting “Butterfly Lovers” in a number of different places, and can pre-celebrate his birthday with many fans so he feels very happy. Charlene says that she plans on inviting Chun out to dinner, as she cannot decide what to give him as a present.

Chun finally returning home

After the premiere in Hong Kong, “Butterfly Lovers” will promote in Taiwan, GuangZhou, ChengDu, Beijing etc. On the 16th of October, they will hold another premiere in Chun’s hometown Brunei, and Chun says that he is very anticipating this visit, not only to help promote the movie, but also so he has the chance to see his family.

Gillian continues to avoid media

Yumiko Cheng, Ken Hung and Chung Shu Man all personally came to help support Charlene but best friend Gillian Chung was not present. Charlene said, “Actually, I did ask her to come, but she said she does not want to create chaos, so instead she will go to cinema and watch the movie!”

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!

Bosco Wong going to work out for a Triangular shaped-swimsuit show

2008-10-01T14:13:00.000-07:00

Wednesday October 1

Last night Bosco Wong and Fiona Yuen attended a watch show. Bosco was also the model in the event, earning him a watch that is worth
$6000+. Recently Bosco is busy filming for new series "Burning Flame III", he expressed that because of filming he lost 14 pounds. He feels that his current situation is not bad, but having chest muscles is also very important, right now he only has a 4 pack. If he is able to get a 6 pack and a good figure it would be better and would consider wearing a triangular shaped swim suit. As for the price, its warm.

Bosco said that he would not deliberately expose himself, but if his body figure is good he does not mind doing a photoshoot. He did not say that every night when he goes home, before showering, he would look at himself in the mirror, he stressed that he's not being self-admiring, just wants to remind himself to keep fit. He smiled and said that even if he's doing a photoshoot he wouldn't be naked, will definitely have something covered. But he feels that the best is to place the pictures online to see the response first, because he fears that when it gets published, no one would look at it. Bosco said that recently there has been many of his friends that praised him for his body, did Myolie Wu praise him too? He said that Myolie never saw him take off his clothes, in contrast while filming Kevin Cheng has seen him change into his firemen costume, he has praised Bosco before.

Fahrenheit's Hong Kong concert; Chun gets his left and right shoes mixed up

Fahrenheit's Hong Kong concert; Chun gets his left and right shoes mixed up
Saturday September 27

After entering the entertainment industry for nearly 3 years, Fahrenheit chose Hong Kong to hold their concert and show the world that they do have talent, in the aim to change everyone’s impression that they use looks and constant rumors with girls to be where they are now. Fans screamed non-stop at the 4 handsome guys, and the amazing performances they gave, however at one point, Chun got his left and right shoes mixed up, and it looked a bit awkward when he was thrusting his sword out.

On the 26th and 27th, Fahrenheit held 2 concerts at the Hong Kong Expo, and attracted over 20,000 fans. The 4 are already very popular in Hong Kong, and this time, tickets were sold out very fast. In the 2 nights, fans yelled till their voices were hoarse; the 4’s charm and hotness dazzled everyone, and they had a total of 6 outfits during the concert, but surprisingly they did not reveal too much skin.

There was huge momentum on the stage and special effects continued non-stop; it really was an amazing show. Fahrenheit entered the stage wearing ‘Final Fantasy’ outfits, waving their light swords. Then when the atmosphere changed, they began singing slow songs. Then balloons were released, and this warmed up a romantic atmosphere, and even Aaron, who is scared of heights joined his fellow brothers and they sat on a machine, which rose to 5-stories high.

Fahrenheit seemed to want to break their “flower vase” image, as they together formed a band to show off their musical talents. Aaron played the keyboard, Jiro played the guitar, Chun played drums and Calvin showed off his beat-boxing skills. Jiro, whos knee was still injured, gave an outstanding performance as he played both an electric guitar, and a wooden guitar. Aaron played the keyboard, and at the same time, sung a duet with Jade Liu. Fahrenheit also arranged a retro-style part of the concert, where they sung old traditional songs, and danced wistfully.

During the concert, Chun had a flying scene, and he dresses up as a black warrior, one hand hanging onto the wire, and the other hand waving a samurai sword. It was only 8 seconds, but it cost a massive 500,000$TW. After this, he combined martial arts and performed a sword dance, but then it was noticed that he had got his left and right shoes mixed up, and this impeded him from performing even better.

After the concert, Fahrenheit said, “We waited 3 years, and now we have finally achieved our dream. We have worked really hard to prepare for this concert, thank you to everyone who has accompanied us on the journey to achieve our dream.” Charlene Choi, Chun’s dad and Chun’s brother all came along to the first concert to cheer them on, and the site was surrounded by the media, causing disturbance.

Ron Ng supports Elanne Kong; Does not believe her bank account only has $58
Saturday, September 27

Ron Ng and Elanne Kong worked together in TVB's series "The Academy 3" and were previously rumored. Recently Elanne had been crying alot due to being accused of being the third party. Also she personally exposed that her bank account only had $58 left. Yesterday Ron attended a promotion for the new TVB series "The Four" and said "Yesterday evening I saw the previews on the TV and saw Elanne crying. But I won't disturb her at the moment. I also do not believe she is that kind of person. When we were working together she did say she was unhappy, at the time I did comfort her. As long as its not true then she should not care what others say and if she wasn't famous no one would write about her". (Elanne considers leaving the Entertainment circle?) "Leaving? I hope she will not be unhappy about those reports, she should focus on her work instead. She is a clever and pretty girl".

Ron fully supports Elanne and said he doesn't feel that she use her eyes to generate electric (seduce). "Pretty girls will naturally be misunderstood, if they stare at you people will say they are seducing you. I hope everyone will give her some space". As for Elanne revealing that she only had $58 in her bank account left, Ron said "It's not possible, she has filmed many advertisements such as beauty products etc. Let's just say I believe her. I knew her before she entered the industry and she is getting prettier as she gets older. Only if someone comes out to admit it's true otherwise you have to be more fair to her".

Maggie Siu successfully quits smoking and receives the "Healthy Star" title

2008-09-27T16:30:00.000-07:00

Saturday, September 27

Maggie Siu received the "Healthy Star" title yesterday. She personally reckoned she was chosen because it had to do with her successfully quitting smoking. She said "I quit smoking 8 years ago, at first it was very hard because many of my friends were smoking around me. I required 1 month in order to be successful". Personally she considers Simon Yam as the healthy star. "Simon Yam is very healthy, he isn't a heavy drinker and also does alot of exercise. But the only bad habit he has is that he hasn't quit smoking". (Will you persuade Simon to quit?) "I will not tell my friends to quit, in the past I suddenly wanted to quit myself and I did. Whether or not others quit smoking is for them to decide".

Shirley stated she will host the show with Deep Ng and Amigo Chui.

Deep joked that his handwriting was very difficult to read and had to slowly copy his lines to be able to read it. Raymond Lam will sing a duet with Vincy Chan tonight "明天以後" (After Tommorow) Cantonese version. It's the first time Raymond has attended the "EEG Singing Contest" since joining EEG. When discussing about many younger sisters and brothers to be born tonight, he said "I will finally have younger brothers and sisters in the company and will no longer be the youngest (Newest) anymore."

Kenix is not in a hurry to have a baby

Friday September 26, 2008 Hong Kong

Kenix Kwok and Frankie Lam have been married for 4 years. There were rumors that their marriage was on the rocks. Recently it was reported that Kenix went to Hengdian, HangZhou to split up with Frankie.

Kenix attended the promotional event for a skincare brand yesterday. She wasn't affected by the rumor. In fact, she was showing off her engagement diamond ring from Frankie. During one of the promotional activities, she had to take the ring off but she put it back on afterwards.

Kenix just came back from Hangzhou the other day and was asked if she saw Frankie in Hengdian. She stated that Frankie was in Hengdian a month ago, but she didn't see him. He is now working in Beijing and Shanghai. Kenix felt odd in regards to the rumors about her marital problems. She didn't take any notice of the media and she had no intention of clearing the rumor.

Kenix disclosed that she had a discussion with Frankie in Tongwan during Mid-autumn festival about going somewhere together next month. Asked if they are trying to make baby? Kenix said they are not in a hurry, a lot of female artists wait till they are in their 40s (Kenix is 39) to start a family. She can wait for another 2-3 years.
