Kate : I am not short


Kate : I am not short
Sunday October 12, 2008 Hong Kong
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

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."

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


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."
