The theme for this song revolves around the fantasy that many women believe in; Prince Charming coming to sweep them off their feet on a white horse. The song will be criticizing the idea of Prince Charming, and how women will pick and choose depending on the quantitative aspects of a man rather than qualitative traits like his personality.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />Check out the music video for “Is the White Horse Coming?” below!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FG3QZHMkyPg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe>bkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-11114964531209584122012-04-18T23:16:00.001-07:002012-04-18T23:16:46.278-07:00Shu Qi reopens her microblog<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9mL807RfEo0CkBoPZb_oZNAB8BtOFD69Kc2o8zI-jLA-Dvg81JwSK3bqhdor3ihMn71624115XykTaT2y-6nm-AzCl8B8aPqPV22I-Cj9ytbzGlWnSj7S8vCA7kSfn_4IN__oowiN04/s1600/news10.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="396" width="500" /></div><br />April 16 was Shu Qi's 36th birthday. Media Asia boss Peter Lam Kin Ngok held a birthday party for her and also celebrate Lo Hoi Pang's LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE (DUET MING GUM) Best Supporting Actor award. Lau Ching Wan and his wife Amy Kwok Oi Ming, Donnie Yen Chi Tan and his wife Cissy Wang, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi all attended. Although she lost the Best Actress to Deanie Ip Tak Han, Shu Qi admitted that she was not disappointed and she even expected it.<br /><br />Speaking of this year's birthday wish, Shu Qi said that she wished for kindness in everyone and for them to face the beautiful world with gratitude. She was very happy that her friends sent their well wishes. She said, "My 'ten or so months' in this business weren't wasted." Shu Qi earlier was attacked online due to her microblog support of Yen Chi Tan. Chi Tan two nights ago said that he would give her a surprise present in compensation. Shu Qi said that she did not need any compensation. She thought that a lot had nothing to do with her. Now her microblog has reopened and she hoped the matter would quickly fade. She said, "I sometimes want to be literary and would write a line or two there." She said that she should let go of a lot of things and did not need to mind too much.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Yesterday was Shu Qi's birthday. She said that she would celebrate with her mother. She also asked the paparazzi not to get too close for photos as she did not want to scare her mother. Shu Qi earlier met with Stephen Fung Tak Lun at night and rumored ensued. Shu Qi said that they have known each other for over a decade. Would they have a chance? She joked that biggest chance would be with Lau Wai Keung. She joked, "He is always saying that I am his chick." Did she want to find someone to rely on? Shu Qi admitted that she did although Mommy said that being single was the best.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcW2Vy3toepEWT1aKrg-yBZz5hVvc1exOx4U7cNXftAzyA0pc-_IPfweVAIY2y9bwsMi_QhneZ5muWeoUp_w0LWsQuC2VUgpAyvXFshGCrvc2GYncsGywAMAA0xb6-6p1yNT7mCDCEwAE/s1600/news9.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="400" /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_1qdYBZW_0j0aS7o2Y5aGHDvV3BlcBKGQF7HyXQ8mJuutMwtC7wcFhBIA4WO3TrpK1t04v62rMusjoYhVk51OFXpj8T6gAwpMK7BufWZiXaUMCjq1Bu2B-3LQY_FLEguQB5Ka7iBCyc/s1600/news11.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="600" width="400" /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh33wr8H5EmfGPV9kZfoB7TxKf52aIYzPvaHnyw9yf8b7DNdYLK2VMhDUaTNwhzXgGn7_diTqorSVMTBeH7GAgcinb0RO5iu50PWrwOMjfaGsZCrYLGQ0S0ymNSfEnTuvLsHOJRyYApORM/s1600/news12.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="255" width="500" /></div><br />Best Actor favorite Lau Ching Wan two nights ago attended the celebration with his wife. He said that he would not be disappointed as award shows definitely had victories and defeats. He wished Andy Lau Tak Wa Double Happiness. Did he and his wife have parenthood plans? He said that this plan has already been abandoned for a long time. Lo Hoi Pang said that yesterday he would return to Zhuhai to continue work on Johnnie To Kei Fung's film. Brother Pang said that the team asked him not to return empty handed. He admitted that when he returned to Hong Kong he had some pressure.<br /><br />Source: Takungpao, Mingpao, on.cc<br />Translated by: hktoptenbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-6311671510061060392012-04-18T23:14:00.002-07:002012-04-18T23:15:10.047-07:00Francis Ng Criticizes Hong Kong Film Award<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhVTOgJNte89Rg_Q3kXL4giFm51Rf21VWF_CcJuk9ReuUNMUVCkNvsywXDFr4MPi7LM4A2f6SzqXJiNEw2PtozdFsAbtf1FajmwIsOv5x3AQRyoJq9mzkW3MV5jYiB2OiMCrh8GrroZwp/s1600/Francis+Ng.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="603" width="400" /></div><br />Francis Ng Chun Yu yesterday attended a shoe event as a model. Speaking of his good friend Lau Ching Wan losing the Best Actor Hong Kong Film Award, Chun Yu instead congratulated him. He said that no award instead would bring more friends. He also criticized flaws that were unfair to Mainland films in Hong Kong Film Award.<br /><br />Ng Chun Yu yesterday modeled new sneakers and made some female guests screamed. Chun Yu joked that normally he was used to hearing this type of screaming at home, as his wife would often yell "Dinner!" or "Keep an eye on the baby!" He pointed out that his son is now 3, constantly screams and is a natural actor. He said, "My son is always acting in front of us. Sometimes he pretends to cry, sometimes he pretends to be nauseous while eating." He pointed out that his son's favorite was Bruce Lee. Now he has a Bruce Lee hair style and would often talk about Bruce Lee. However Chun Yu did not want his son to be in the business. He could accept working with his son once in commemoration but not forever. He would not actively cultivate him in this filed. Has his son watched his movies? He pointed out that his son was curious why Papa often appeared on the television. Earlier during the Hong Kong Film Award, his son saw Lau Ching Wan and screamed "Uncle Sean". Originally he wanted to ask his son to scream "Uncle Sea Win", but his son would not. Later after he learned Ching Wan lost, he kept screamed "Uncle Sean lose". Chun Yu joked that his son might be a psychic.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Was he disappointed for Ching Wan? Chun Yu said, "I congratulated him, this way he would have more friends. If not he would be like a certain someone who lost all his friends." Although Ching Wan lost he won over the public. Chun Yu said, "If you need something (award) to prove yourself, you can have one made on Garden Street. Whether you win or not already has become less and less of a problem." Chun Yu also said that the Hong Kong Film Award voting standard is unfair to Mainland films and nominees because they do not have Hong Kong social network, which would cost them half the score. He said, "The voters wouldn't be as emotionally invested, which would have no effect on Hong Kong people but would be unfair to Mainlanders. Yet everything has flaws, the Oscars would take care of themselves too." Did he feel the Hong Kong Film Award was not open, fair and just enough? He joked that he was only making a comment after the fact. He would only examine others and never examine himself.<br /><br />In July he will work on TVB's TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES 2 (CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU 2). Originally the production would start in May but because he had to work with Chow Yun Fat on THE LAST TYCOON (DAI SEUNG HOI) it had to be postponed. TVB was so accommodating. He said, "Along of many changes, the alma mater has changed to be much more accommodating."bkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-54869327172137852012-04-17T23:14:00.000-07:002012-04-18T23:15:31.084-07:00Andy Lau and Deanie IP Win At The Hong Kong Film Award<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRt13NZGc7UF6FWrPiDaye0RMeR09_7rFtDSwhI3xuEnxB4SRwk8P4ZHbU4IQ9z6w7Fk1HH1u5g6GKgDvxVKxEljXWVSCevwPryEbCB_D2lXCBtRHqbf8qPcI1p5B6Vy5Rq7LdZRRwb2Uv/s1600/A+Simple+Life.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="460" width="400" /></div><br />The 31st Hong Kong Film Award took place last night. With its international success and eight nominations A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH) won five major awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay to become the big winner. With its 13 nominations FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP) also won 5 technical awards; WU XIA and LIFE WITHOUT PRINCIPLE (DUET MING GUM) won two awards each. It was Lau Tak Wa's third Best Actor Hong Kong Film Award and Sister Deanie's first Best Actress Hong Kong Film Award. Although she broke through zero, it was also her sixth Best Actress award with A SIMPLE LIFE.<br /><br />Sister Deanie tasted her first Best Actress Hong Kong Film award. She admitted that since she did not win until she was in her sixties, she believed that would not have another chance. Although she made it sound like a will reading, the words truly came from her heart. Without Lau Tak Wa and Ann Hui On Wa's appreciation she might not possibly have this chance. She even gave a special thanks to director Wong Jing for constantly encouraging and trusting her, as well as viewers who enjoyed A SIMPLE LIFE and Hong Kong film. Wa Jai who defeated Lau Ching Wan, Jiang Wen and Ge You admitted that the biggest reason that he won was his contribution to Hong Kong film, which made everyone give him a lot of points. Thus he had to thank the voters. The host Eric Tsang Chi Wai improvised, "Brother Wa, it's luck from the baby." Wa Jai also thanked Sister Deanie. Without her he could not perform either. He also thanked the director for cutting out a lot of his poor performance and joked that A SIMPLE LIFE should have won Best Editing.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Backstage, Sister Deanie was very happy because she did not think that she would win before hand. She thought everyone had equal chances. How would she celebrate? She said that later she would have vegetable, Wa Jai joked that they would even have plain congee. As for her sixth Best Actress award, Sister Deanie honestly said that it was a perfect end. Would Wa Jai thank his wife? He continued to avoid the subject. "Don't talk about that, I only want to share this award with everyone." As for A SIMPLE LIFE becoming the big winner, he admitted that it was quite complete. Aside from thanking everyone, he also stated that he will continue to work hard. Wa Jai last night repeatedly went on stage. When he presented the Best Supporting Actor and introduced Lo Hoi Pang's comedy skit SHRIMP CRAZY FAMILY, he joked that he used to always want to play "Shrimp" but now he has become Daddy. When Sandra Ng Kwan Yu and Carina Lau Ka Ling presented the Best Actor, Kwan Yu praised, "Wa Jai is very mighty and talented, at such an age he still got someone pregnant." Wa Jai in the audience immediately put away his smile and pointed at Kwan Yu. With 11 Hong Kong Film Award nominations and 4 wins, Best Director Ann Hui On wa admitted that this time she was rather lucky and thanked the city of Hong Kong, where she grew up and was educated, received a scholarship to study film, then made money. It also had her favorite pineapple bun and milk tea. From now on she will keep doing her part for this city.<br /><br />Lo Hi Pang and So Hung Shuen with LIFE WITHOUT PRINCPLE (DUET MING GUM) won Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Unfortunately Sister Shuen who defeated Lau Ka Ling, Wai Ying Hung and others was hospitalized due to illness and could not attend. She could only give her speech over the phone. She thanked the medical personnel and family for their care.<br /><br />"At 15 I joined the Federation of Youth Group drama team, in 1971 I joined the artist training class. Thank you classmate Kam Kwok Leung for your opinions and help, even more Instructor Chung King Fai's teaching. Thank you to the event for giving me this award. I will never forget it for the rest of my life, I wish everyone good health. I would like to thank director To Kei Fung the most and thank you Lau Ching Wan."<br /><br />As for Brother Pang this was his first Hong Kong Film Award nomination and victory. He admitted that after toiling away for so many years he never thought about any award. Perhaps the event took pity on him for toiling away for so long. Then he gave another golden quote. "It's like Lo Hoi Pang tests the mic, never thinking he would win with might." Then backstage reporters jokingly asked if Brother Pang wanted to test the mic again? he joked, "I tested out an award as soon as I tested. (Do you feel it came late?) It's better than nothing, if I work my entire life without one, wouldn't I be very 'lea hea'?" He admitted that this award was quite comforting but now as he was thinking about retirement he won. Why would he consider retirement? He admitted that he was already 70. Reporters pointed out that Wu Fung is still working at 80. Brother Pang said that this business was very tough and he might not be able to take it, but now with the award he could not stop even if he wanted to. Reporters said that he could increase his price. He said, "That's pointless! Am I the MTR? (Who would you like to thank the most?) I want to thank the viewers the most because without viewer recognition I wouldn't have this award." Today Brother Pang will return to Zhuhai to work on Johnnie To Kei Fung's new film. Yesterday he deliberately rushed back to attend the award show but never thought that he could win. Thus he appeared in his costume. Speaking of Best Supporting Actress So Hung Shuen was hospitalized and unable to accept the award in person, Brother Pang said, "I am luckier. (Do you know about her condition?) I don't, but she is my elder. She was in the first artist training class, I was in the third. She worked so many years that she went to sell vegetarian dishes. Only recently she came back to have fun and got this Supporting Actress. Seeing her stuttering in her speech, perhaps later I will visit her."<br /><br />The Hong Kong box office record breaking Taiwan film YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE won the Best Mainland and Taiwan Film. Director Giddens Ko brought many actors to accept the award and let them each speak, leaving him without any time to give a speech. However when he, Michelle Chen and Ko Chen-Tung presented an award earlier, he had a lot to say as soon as he got on stage. He said that he was "this year's luckiest director" and joked with Ko Chen-Tung, "You are a newcomer, but I let you play me at my tallest and most handsome in my youth......since I treated you so well, I have something to discuss with you. Can I kiss Michelle Chen?" Ko Chen-Tung replied, "But you have to kiss me first." Giddens Ko then truly rushed up and kissed Ko Chen-Tung for a few seconds, Michelle Chen immediately changed the subject and introduced the New Director nominees. Taiwan singer Jam Hsiao (Siu King Tung) with THE KILLER WHO NEVER KILLS won Best New Performer. He said that the award was quite a surprise but it was quite a decent feeling and he was very happy. What characters would he like to play in the future? He said it would depend on the director. He also would like to work with many actors and even joked that if the reporters would be willing to make movies he would be willing to work with the reporters.<br /><br />Ni Kuang (Ngai Hong) received the Lifetime Achievement Award and he went on stage with a crane in hand. He said that he was a little dizzy on the stage, then he took out his speech cheat sheet and humorously said, "I only have ten words, it won't take too long. Thank you event, thank you everyone, thank you very much!" Tsui Hark who presented the award to him said that his creativity was strong as he was able to write over 20,000 words a day and never changed his script. Once he asked him to meet at a hotel to discuss a script change, he smacked the table and left. Ngai Hong joked, "I can't make a living in anything else, I don't know how to direct. You can't blame me for not changing the script, I know how to write but I don't know how to change. Everyone know as a director you are picky, I may have to change it 10 times!" Tsu Hark also said that he would like to turn his science fiction novels into a movie, Ngai Hong said, "That depends on you!" Then he wanted to turn around and leave and Tsui Hark had to remind him to pick up the award.<br /><br />Recently rumored to be in love with Taiwan actor Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting), Gao Yuanyuan last night presented Best Supporting Actress with Shawn Yue Man Lok. Gao Yuanyuan said that Lok Jai in movies often dated two people at once. Lok Jai immediately poked fun at Gao Yuanyuan's rumor and asked her whether she was dating Chiu Yau Ting or dating two people at once. Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed and immediately went to the nominees.<br /><br />Called the "New Generation Microblog Fighter" Anthony Wong Chau Sun presented Best Actress. Before announcing the result he joked that he wanted to present this award fairly, openly, justly, so he had to present it to Ip Tak Han.<br /><br />During commercial breaks, masters of ceremony Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Angelababy suddenly had a little fun with Big Brother Jackie Chan in the audience. He said that no one would ever take his seat because a camera was blocking it and you could not hear what people were saying. He even joked, "But it doesn't matter! He (Jackie Chan) is always tripping over his words!" Big Brother immediately threw a program at Chi Wai, who picked it up and joked, "Thank you photographer, the photos are very pretty. The prettiest is Lo Hoi Pang, in Armani he is better looking than Gum Sing Mo (Takeshi Kaneshiro)!"<br /><br />Tsang Chi Wai also explained to everyone what "Lo Hoi Pang tests the mic" meant. He said, "Many people don't know what 'Lo Hoi Pang tests the mic', but many who have worked with Brother Pang knows, since then no one dared to ask him to test the mic because he would use foul language." Someone in the audience asked Chi Wai if he wanted to test the mic, Chi Wai said, "I don't need to test the mic!"<br /><br />Wai Ying Hung and Chin Kar Lok presented the Best Action Choreography Award. Kar Lok said that Sister Siu Hung's first Best Actress award was with an action film. He asked why Sister Siu Hung limped along when she walked, she said that after several decades of action films she had injuries all over, arthritis of her knees, hip and shoulder injuries. She even revealed Chin Kar Lok's injury from a film shoot.<br /><br />Sammo Hung Kam Bo during the event aired his grievances. He joked that he was unemployed, then he said that the era was different and many film production situations made him roll his eyes. He said, "For modern films you can say simplify the shoot, now even costume films don't follow order. I feel something needs to be preserved!"<br /><br />Masters of ceremony Ronald Cheng Chung Kei, Tsang bo Yi and Gordon Lam Ka Tung discussed the qualifications for Best Picture. Cheng Chung Kei mentioned his film BLUE MOON (YUET MOON BO SAI WAN) years ago. Cheng Chung Kei said, "This film tells everyone to embrace Sai Wan, love Sai Wan and at appropriate times thank Sai wan." Obviously it was a jab at the Chief Executive elect Leung Chun Ying's earlier appearance at the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Sai Wan. Earlier Lam Ka Tung talked about FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP). "The story is about a big basement under the inn, the basement was bigger than the inn. Lee Nin Kit (Jet Li) pushed Zhou Xun out to defend it." It was a jab at Henry Tang Ying Yen's unauthorized home renovation.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-XK43itGcytr936WOXRqu-42K0eWMk48nizy-8BPYr_UsplHVu6HlbzudjBWm9ASm50jyH1P02EYB4ukeQHW20i2fRMIqveqU9K8n6QncIhOJLizEMy_cNDUhoGy6ye4ehqqZYeKiwWU/s1600/lady.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="413" width="400" /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiipiklB5GVNxgG1O_FBpAkQtsgQS4sr6EWEmSlGUdv77YQDxN1MQjOxpl7YouDoUNI8nPuqdNC8CzYbP6lHC5OJ_uqYAn9CY2E_xJ7_57xntTL2_2xS4zm-3FlP9s17nGy0kpLdpieG0OK/s1600/HKAward1.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="400" /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7hQGrOFRF-orUpkrR1AweJjk681cBzh0-QoSWxCjjsuUhjB7cYfQaaqTNfzm96IOJKDX4KuO369w21t5ag3OFkw8J9WB9saOP1832sDfp2Flhi_DZRrLDQ3UcMLRZ2gjrkohXwhk1kb0w/s1600/HKAward4.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="400" /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4fISWnMdlaBmSEpqka1tihvj03sBznqPkatgL_05vM_zW8J3NIbpv3FIQFNkWnei-Ho_DEqvaZHvjbIbqLXcqN6h_ByU-8ZsrKb2lDQn7mS45nL8QtfZrXGkQcsyztygKeEk-hN4omenO/s1600/HKAward2.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="523" width="400" /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqebaQWgwi5sgN8_jH-6H57plOWLCKSjD2rDNjYR_cU0FO589BvIGJf18gl0YFERRMzvqx3byKricEJ_q35dj85r85d22pib4yseQqzRQoOjr-EXdOzlTSiZUGe44IiOQqzS8h89QV8YgN/s1600/HKAward3.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="487" width="400" /></div><br /><strong>31st Hong Kong Film Awards 2012 (Winner List) [Oriental Daily] Spoiler:</strong><br /><br /><strong>Best Film : </strong>A Simple Life<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Director : Ann Hui (A Simple Life) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best Screenplay : Susan Chan (A Simple Life)<strong><br /></strong><br /><strong>Best Actor :</strong> Andy Lau (A Simple Life)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Actress :Deanie Ip (A Simple Life ) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best Supporting Actor : Lo Hoi Pang (Life Without Principle) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best Supporting Actress :So Hang Shuen (Life Without Principle) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best New Performer : Hsiao Ching Teng (The Killer Who Never Kills) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best Cinematography : Jake Pollock, Lai Yiu Fai (Wu Xia)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Film Editing :Yau Chi Wai (Flying Swords Dragon Gate)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Art Direction : Yee Chung Man, Lau Man Hung (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best Costume/Makeup Design : Willian Chang (Let the Bullets Fly) <strong></strong><br /><br />Best Action Choreography :Yuen Bun, Lan Hai Han, Sun Jian Kui (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Original Film Score :Chan Kwong Wing, Peter Kam, Chatchai Pongprapaphan (Wu Xia)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Original Film Song : Sandy Lam "Leung Sum Fa" (Hi, Fidelity)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Sound Design : Kim Suk Won (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Visual Effects : Wook Kim, Josh Cole, Frankie Chung (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best New Director : Tsang Tsui Shan (The Big Blue Lake)<strong></strong><br /><br />Best Film of Mainland & Taiwan : You Are the Apple of My Eye (Taiwan)<strong></strong><br /><br />Lifetime Achievement Award : Ni Kuang (Screenwriter, Novelist)<strong></strong><br /><br />Professional Achievement Award :Fong Ho Yuen (Cinematographer)<br /><br />Source: AFP Oriental Daily<br />Translated by: aZnangel @ AsianEU Forumbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-8265184935438648462012-04-16T23:13:00.000-07:002012-04-18T23:14:23.466-07:00Athena Chu announces pregnancy, to marry Paul Wong end of 2012<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwd1B5UYxE6dG-5MwPQBH3zSRJhXY3yP0pfIPomvO5RZYgj4kg5cSdDNOx6-JUuzZc3C2DGSWIekMcuIqb9j1M0Nu7eOFtUcpgQrmaVroNKmSU5Rw4cOhUcTpKNFDE6cvjfzuta3ZtvSg/s1600/news2.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="576" width="400" /></div><br />A member of the group Beyond, 48 year old Paul Wong and 40 year old 'Sexy Goddess' Athena Chu's love marathon has officially reached their 14th year. A few years ago, the couple expressed they aren't in a hurry to marry or have children, but February of this year, Athena was seen to have a bulging stomach. It was rumored Athena was pregnant after going to see a Chinese doctor. However, at the time Athena denied on Weibo: "Just based on the cotton clothing?" She stressed it was just a misconception.<br /><br />Until yesterday afternoon, Athena suddenly posted an excerpt of the lyrics from Paul's Child: "Child, I really want to let you know, even if the world collapses, I still love you, you are the most amazing." She also uploaded a black and white nude photo of her and Paul embracing. Its rumored that Athena is 3 months pregnant.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />30 minutes later, Paul reposted Athena's Weibo entry and admitted that they will soon be living a '3 person world': "All along, we thought that love is just between us two, but from today on, it will not longer be just us two. I love you." Paul expressingly indicated Athena's pregnancy by just a simple message. Four hours after the couple's Weibo messages, there were already over 10,000 repost and comments (TN: Updated numbers, it's over 27,000 now). The majority of them were Netizens congratulating the couple and sending their blessings.<br /><br />It was understood Paul denied the pregnancy earlier was all because he loves Athena. He didn't want the good news to turn into troubling news nor did he want the paparazzi's attention and affect Athena's pregnancy. A few days ago, he expressed on Weibo: "Telling a lie is different from keeping a secret, but sometimes to continue upholding the secret, will be forced to tell a lie." Yesterday when the couple met the press back in HK, Paul reveals that they plan to get married at the end of the year.<br /><br /><strong>Good Friends Congratulates Paul and Athena </strong><br /><br />Paul has a pretty broad relations with people in the industry, and has many celebrities who are fans of him including Ella Koon, RubberBand's 6 members and William Chan.<br /><br />Athena's good sister, Ada Choi: "I'm currently so happy that I've gone crazy, congrats to them!"<br /><br />Francis Ng: "That's good! Very good news. (Any advice?) Most important is to keep the baby well fed, breastfeeding is the time where the baby and mother can interact, so its a must. Also, must trust what the elders say because they have been through it and have the experience."<br /><br />Kristal Tin: "Congrats to them! I saw their photo on Weibo, so beautiful. It's so loving and touching, Paul and Athena are my idols, especially Paul. I truly believe they'll be very happy together."<br /><br />Ella Koon: "So happy, I heard from a friend they announced the pregnancy. I went on Weibo immediately to look, and saw their beautiful photo. I think their baby will definitely inherit their performing art talent. If the baby's a boy, then he'll have music talent and if a girl, then she'll be super beautiful."<br /><br />William Chan: "Of course I'm going to congratulate my 'brother'. I'm extremely happy for him. In my eyes, he's so man, now he has a baby and a family, even more man, very hot."<br /><br />Grasshopper's Calvin Choy expressed he knows Paul very well and plans to give the couple custom made baby products.<br /><br />Source: Oriental Daily<br />Translated by: aZnangel @ AsianEU Forumbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-80332722089803532462012-04-15T23:16:00.000-07:002012-04-18T23:16:32.474-07:00Lee Byung Hun & Lee Min Jung rumored to be dating, denied by agencies<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRX5rPVLxw_2I7tKFJQOhN6RI3G9p7FwK-zZlbom3vbIZ6jPun5DIQ2R4CZ8hHZo-zbjib6u3WBYjNJdSNJOISrMTMr0pMs4SfZg9wZ7BKGMpUNmv1bTF4erMbX8I4rxggY3999CTbafBS/s1600/Byung+Jung.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="400" width="520" /></div><br />Rumors of a dating relationship between actor Lee Byung Hun (42) and actress Lee Min Jung (30) are on the rapid rise.<br /><br />On April 16th, one media source stated, “Beginning from last year, Lee Byung Hun and Lee Min Jung had good feelings for each other and from earlier this year, they are starting to meet with each other carefully. They naturally met together at awards ceremonies and movies, in official places. They had a good relationship of movie sunbae-hoobae, but it has evolved into a dating relationship.”<br /><br />Another media source, quoting associates, stated, “As the two people are marriageable, they are forced to be careful. Only the closest few know their dating relationship. Their dating places are usually near Lee Byung Hun’s house, avoiding the people’s eyes even for a little bit.”<br /><br />Their agencies are releasing their statements carefully with the general statement, “It does not seem like the truth.” As multiple news outlets jumped the gun and began announcing the new couple to be officially dating, both agencies came forward with statements denying the relationships.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Lee Byung Hun’s agency stated, “We are currently contacting Lee Byung Hun right now, it seems like the dating scandal is not true…Once he get in contact with him, we will reveal our official position.” Later on, Newsen reported that a representative shared, ”We directly talked to Lee Byung Hun and he said no. He said it is nothing beyond a celebrity sunbae-hoobae relationship with Lee Min Jung, whom he just knows.”<br /><br />“It is embarrassing as to why this story is coming out suddenly,” a representative of Lee Min Jung’s agency M Steam Entertainment remarked. Later on, representative Kim Min Sook reportedly stated, “We talked with Lee Min Jung directly and she said that they are not dating as they are just a sunbae-hoobae relationship, with the two eating together once with many other people recently.”<br /><br />Looks like this love scandal may be nothing more than a baseless rumor. Do you think there’s more to it, and would you like to see these two actors together?<br /><br />Meanwhile, Lee Byung Hun is currently filming ‘Joseon King‘ with actress Han Hyo Joo, while Lee Min Jung will act in ‘Big‘ with actor Gong Yoo and miss A‘s Suzy.<br /><br />Source: TV Report via Nate, Sports Chosun via Nate, Newsen via Natebkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-84803588336496672182012-04-15T23:11:00.000-07:002012-04-18T23:12:42.867-07:00Steven Ma & Producer Miu Siu Ching won't rely on TVB for celebration dinner<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyro-LPCddz4Eobn-27zRcQMrwUKBF-0PBwAN5aMDTTlwUCmP5xhrX2tqTOJ0JWY8Ci71PNtQ1USdwLsErKoqBRYrjPNGFX7VlCok-oHQrEB0_IhuzVU4CRvS92_VTYEOyIBFrT_wHc2k/s1600/news9.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="498" width="400" /></div><br />TVB series Daddy Good Deeds starring Steven Ma, Linda Chung, Ha Yu, Evergreen Mak and Nancy Wu maintained high ratings despite the Easter holiday broadcast period. According to TVB's tradition, if a series breaks the 30 point TV rating mark, a large-scale celebration event to watch the finale will be arranged. However, this TVB did nothing for the Daddy finale on Friday. Guess its related to producer Miu Siu Ching and lead actor Steven Ma already left the company.<br /><br />Seeing this, Siu Ching Jeh personally paid out of pocket for a 3 table celebration banquet to reward the cast and crew. Aside from Linda Chung, who left to Canada, the other cast members including Ha Yu, Nancy Wu, Cilla Kung, Evergreen Mak, Steven Ma and others attended. During the banquet, the cast gave Siu Ching Jeh a hug, making her feel quite emotional.<a name='more'></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR_xbalVKv1aE6JiwJAY0TbCVKxvd0_FkBVasjX-B6OWH51yAh9G1n6a2b5TA6ddnkbkru_SKMFTZgfKFxqOUqAGV83_eSaKR5zVMG5pOtudlq9V1FFU0nYy9qru6dBM78TCM5EkezSP0/s1600/news8.jpg" alt="" border="0" height="398" width="500" /></div><br />Steven expressed he especially changed his schedule to attend this celebration because he and Siu Ching Jeh went through three excellent 'combats' together: "The first time, it was Safe Guards v.s. Princess Pearl, then it was Where the Legend Begins v.s. The World Cup and this time it's Daddy Good Deeds v.s. Easter." He reveals in the next half of the year, he will be shooting in Mainland and is considering to purchase a property in Beijing.<br /><br />Also, Ha Yu was asked if he's afraid TVB might come after him for celebrating with Siu Ching Jeh? He joked: "No fear, I deleted all my call logs with Miu Siu Ching and Steven Ma, there is no trace and proves my innocence."<br /><br />Source: Oriental Daily<br />Translated by: aZnangel @ AsianEU Forumbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-9769807981839002552012-04-14T23:16:00.000-07:002012-04-18T23:16:16.064-07:00Kai Ko denies Macau date with Elva Hsiao<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHviz9huM_skE1NezaDLsP-pRwQaBbDfFmv9EOOHopPykbHRgKwfgRC2iiyB4uIkta0Kxnvvy9mS2tSJtQdFhNg1ibJUAci2f8YonfosscM0K6pNmoo1XxnXE9U-J4id2Khoa2_LauRx2K/s1600/Kai+Ko.jpg" alt="" border="0" align="left" />After winning Best Chinese Movie award at the recent Hong Kong Film Awards, the cast of The Apple of my Eye returned to Taiwan in triumph.<br /><br />Upon his return, the movie's lead actor Kai Ko was again quizzed on his relationship with Elva Hsiao.

Today (6/27th), the three of them were accompanied by TVB executive Virgina Lok to the Hong Kong Office of he Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to turn in their complaint letter. At the time, the 'Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild' representatives, Gordon Lam and Astrid Chan will also be present. As the other female lead in the 'secret photograph' incident, was just visiting Bosco at his house, so she will not take part in the trip to file the complaint.<br /><br />Yesterday, Myolie explained the reason for her absent on Weibo. She expressed there is a misunderstanding because she 100% supports the action to file a complaint. Myolie said: "This is not a situation directing towards an individual, it is in effort to protect the privacy rights of artists in the future. I have already fought for this opportunity to my company, but tomorrow (6/27th), it is necessary for me to remain in the studio to shoot a large-scale scene. The scene involves many production units, so I could not attend." She hopes the other artists colleagues can mentally support them and that the government handles this issue, to protect the privacy rights of artists.<br /><br />Source: Oriental Daily<br />Translated by: aZnangel @ AsianEUbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-30125527564874126532011-06-27T20:55:00.000-07:002011-09-17T20:55:32.189-07:00Nicholas Tse admits marriage in trouble, but still loves Cecilia Cheung<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lrUENF9vy6Y/TgcFFmTHQFI/AAAAAAAAD4o/LgY1TYtTkis/s1600/Nicholas%2BTse.jpg" alt="" width="500" border="0" /></div><br />Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse admitted on Sunday, during the premiere of his film "Treasure Inn" in Beijing, that there were some "definite problems" in his marriage to actress Cecilia Cheung,reported Hong Kong media.<br /><br />"The recent storm (regarding Tse and Cheung's possible separation) is not good for either party. Hopefully, today, after speaking about it, things will quieten down.<br /><br />"Indeed, today, there are some definite problems in my marriage," said Tse in his four-minute speech.<br /><br />Throughout his speech, Tse never uttered a word about divorce, but instead consistently addressed Cecilia Cheung, 31, as "my wife".<br /><a name='more'></a><br />"My wife grew up in a single-parent family. I too grew up in a single-parent family. But I never hated my parents.<br /><br />"Instead, when our first child was born, we hoped to overcome fate and not let [our children] grow up in a broken home."<br /><br />"Sadly, today, I don't know how to continue," said Tse.<br /><br />"If you ask me now 'Nicholas Tse, do you love that person. Think about that person?' I would say 'I love her and think about her', but I don't know how to continue."<br /><br />The 31-year-old actor claimed that he and Cheung still loved each other, despite Cheung's fiery criticism of him in a recent interview with Hong Kong media.<br /><br />Cheung, his wife of five years, had called Tse a bad father and a manipulative man.<br /><br />"I heard that she chided me a few days earlier. [But] we spoke over the phone yesterday (Saturday), SMSed a few questions.<br /><br />"She still told me that she loves me, and misses me. I believe [her]."<br /><br />"And I am confident no matter what sort of relationship we have in the future, we will still work hard to find a healthy, stable space for our two sons (Lucas and Quintus) to grow up."<br /><br />"We are both adults, so our relationship from now onwards, be it love or hate ... we will deal with it ourselves."<br /><br />Tse did not wear his wedding band during the event.<br /><br />He appeared calm throughout the greater part of his speech, though his eyes became moist at some points.<br /><br />He also rested his shades on his forehead when he spoke, perhaps in response to Cheung's earlier comments that he wears shades to hide his eyes and prevent people from telling if he is lying.bkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-70592787611125781212011-06-27T20:54:00.002-07:002011-09-17T20:55:40.705-07:00Instiz release chart rankings for the fourth week of June!<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pd1HTkE_Py0/TggEfHiydDI/AAAAAAAAD7Q/U9a6NBLp0lg/s1600/instiz.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></div><br />The Instiz chart combines the overwhelming variety of charts that South Korea uses to rank music sales, and it’s what fans use to determine whether their favorite artist has achieved an “All-Kill”.<br /><br />Check out the chart rankings for the fourth week of June below!<br /><br />===<br /><strong><a name='more'></a><br />Instiz Chart Singles Ranking</strong><br /><br />1. 2PM – “Hands Up” – 11,546 Points<br /><br />2. f(x) – “Hot Summer” – 9,542 Points<br /><br />3. 2NE1 – “I’m The Best” – 8,002 Points [ALL KILL]<br /><br />4.

He’s also a singer. He did this dance,” and proceeded to imitate Rain’s choreography for “Love Song.”<br /><br />The reporters then asked what the director thought of Rain as an actor to which he replied, “I really like him. He’s good.”<br /><br />Shia LaBeouf was also interviewed and asked whether he had ever visited Korea. “I have,” he replied, “and it was really beautiful” to which co-star Rosie Huntington-Whitely added, “I’d like to visit there soon too.”<br /><br />Actor Tyrese left a comment that he is friends with J.Y. Park and Rain along with a message for the two asking to give him a call soon.<br /><br />Source & Photo: Newsen via Natebkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-26093373795995561572011-06-26T20:53:00.000-07:002011-09-17T20:53:30.566-07:00Nicholas Tse personally responds to marital issues rumors after "Treasure Inn" press conference<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lrUENF9vy6Y/TgcFFmTHQFI/AAAAAAAAD4o/LgY1TYtTkis/s1600/Nicholas%2BTse.jpg" alt="" width="500" border="0" /></div><br />On June 26th, Nicholas Tse attended the press conference for the release of his new movie <<Treasure Inn>> in Beijing. This was Nic’s first official public appearance in front of the media since rumors of his marriage to Cecilia Cheung being over first surfaced almost a month ago.<br /><br />After the press conference ended, Nic remained on stage by himself to face the Media and officially ‘explain’ the issues that have surfaced regarding his marriage.<br /><br />Nicholas Tse’s statement to the Media:<br /><br />First of all, I would like to apologize to the cast and crew of <<Treasure Inn>>, as today’s event is supposed to be focused on the movie. After almost a month, today I have chosen this particular platform to give everyone an explanation. With all of the rumors and speculations out there, it is not a good thing for either side, so I hope that after my explanation today, things will quiet down. I’m not good at expressing myself – people who know me understand this. Even though I do not allow newspapers or magazines in my home, I have been the subject of interest of most Media outlets for the past month – this I do know.<br /><br />When I see all the negative reports related to me, of course I am unhappy; when the negative reports are about my wife, I am also unhappy because when people criticize my wife, it also reflects badly upon my two boys, as they are still young and when they grow up, they will undoubtedly read the reports and wonder why things happened this way. Today, I admit that there are definitely problems in my marriage…my wife grew up in a single parent family and I did as well, however neither of us ever expressed any hatred toward our parents for this. When our first son Lucas was born, both of us were in agreement that we didn’t want to follow our parents’ paths, so our hope was that our son would not grow up in a ‘broken’ family. Unfortunately, today I don’t know how we will continue on together.<br /><br />If today, you ask me if I still love that person [Cecilia], and if I miss her, I will honestly tell you that I love her and I miss her, but I do not know how to continue on this road together. Even though I heard a couple days ago that she had given an interview and in it had burst out at me, however, yesterday, the two of us were in contact via phone text messages – she [Cecilia] told me that she still loves me and misses me – I believe it, I believe it! This gave me confidence that in the future, no matter what type of ‘relationship’ we will have, both of us are committed to finding a suitable and steady environment for our kids to grow up. We are already adults – in the future, no matter what type of relationship we have, whether it’s love or hate, fighting or killing, we will take care of the matter amongst ourselves, you guys [Media] don’t need to worry about it. I hope that after today, things [in the Media] related to us will return to being work-related.

For Taiwanese actress Rainie Yang, it was almost 10 years later.<br /><br />Yesterday, Rainie and co-star Joseph Chang were in town to promote their latest idol drama While We Were Drunk. Upon arriving at the press conference held at the Conrad Centennial Singapore, the chatty actress started off by asking the media if they had lunch.<br /><br />In While We Were Drunk, Rainie plays Lin Xiao Ru, a girl who accidentally marries Song Jie Xiu (played by Joseph Chang) while they were drunk. The couple quickly realises their error once they sobered up, resulting in them trying to undo every mistake they made in the last 24 hours.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Apart from her "husband" Jie Xiu, there were two other men in Xiao Ru's life -- her ex-boyfriend Ren Yi Xiang (played by Kingone Wang) and her boss-cum-childhood friend Daniel Geng (played by Alien Huang).<br /><br />Rainie and Alien had dated during their high-school days.<br /><br />On acting with Alien for the first time, Rainie first let out an uncomfortable giggle before admitting "it's awkward to kiss Alien".<br /><br />"I think you all know my relationship with him [Alien Huang]. It's the first time we're acting together; even though it was just a peck on the lips, I felt really shy," the 26-year-old replied.<br /><strong><br />Rainie Yang felt "more sparks" with Joseph Chang</strong><br /><br />Rainie then said that she felt "more sparks" when acting with Joseph.<br /><br />"That's probably because the scenes [with Joseph] are more romantic. The one which I shared a kiss with Alien is not very romantic," Rainie explained quickly.<br /><br />While We Were Drunk is touted as the sequel to Fated to Love You, the most well-received Taiwanese idol drama to date, and boasts of many passionate bed scenes.<br /><br />However, the pair clarified that their drama "is not a direct sequel to Fated to Love You" and had a vastly different plot from its predecessor.<br /><br />"There would definitely be comparisons [between the various dramas]; but all we [the actors] can do is to do our best," Rainie answered.<br /><br />Commenting on the intimate scenes, Joseph said, "I started my first day of filming with the most passionate scene in the drama. It helped to build our chemistry with each other and we don't really feel awkward with each other later."<br /><br /><strong>Many firsts for Rainie Yang</strong><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-durfatO3XJ0/TgcE3NXRtvI/AAAAAAAAD4Y/ZsQF2uQq1XQ/s1600/Rainie%2BYang2.jpg" alt="" width="500" border="0" height="400" /></div><br />This was the first time Rainie sported a short hair cut in a drama. In all of her other dramas, where she was the female lead, the actress had long hair.<br /><br />Rainie admitted that she was afraid of how the audience would take her new image initially. However, she later felt that "if Xiao Ru [Rainie's character] had long hair, it wouldn't be her anymore", suggesting that the actress was satisfied with the final result.<br /><br />The short hair cut definitely gave Rainie a more matured look, which fitted her role as somebody's wife -- another first for her.<br /><br />When asked if she did anything to prepare for her role, Rainie said, "I'm actually similar to my character, in that we've not been married before. I didn't do any special homework on how to portray Xiao Ru because she was thrown into marriage suddenly; so I just went along with the situations in the drama."<br /><br />The actress let on that she did, however, take a month to get used to wearing the wedding ring -- which was encrusted with real diamonds -- on her ring finger. She would take every chance she had, including during meals, to take it off her finger.<br /><br />While We Were Drunk premieres on Jun 26, every Sunday, 8pm on E City (StarHub TV Channel 825).bkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-16813788164065474002011-06-26T20:52:00.001-07:002011-09-17T20:52:39.088-07:00Tavia Yeung a highly valuable ‘leftover girl'<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFSWgC-In4XnakcMoy2uruMwoI2YbbtIJmpRYToxJRr4mSa30Io1QnKt9nR29aZ_qVpjxpu1S4rFypAM2q7Wx-7k8jg8_TibUt6Mk5acksl5rZpJeMovlI14nL9BsU8jGBORLGbhYnIIU/s1600/news3.jpg" alt="" width="440" border="0" height="585" /></div><br />Yesterday Tavia Yeung, Ruco Chan, Natalie Tong and the rest of the cast attended the promotional event for TVB new series The Other Truth premiering on Monday, June 27th.<br /><br />Tavia Yeung and Ruco Chan's new series The Other Truth will be replacing Ghetto Justice. As the series is the same genre, about lawyers, Tavia expressed she is not worried of comparison. Also, Ghetto had good ratings, so hope good luck will be brought to The Other Truth. As for good friend Ron Ng's rumors with Mainland actress Viann Zhang, Tavia said she and Ron are old buddies, she won't gossip about his rumors. It was said that HK guys like Mainland girls with good body figures, is Tavia worried that she'll be a ‘leftover girl’? Tavia laughed: "If you want to say I'm a ‘leftover girl’ then I'm a ‘leftover girl’ of high value. To pursue me there are going to be many hurdles to get through. I'm sure there are many good men in Mainland. I'll be going to Mainland to work later, but meeting someone, leave to fate."<br /><br />Also at the promotion, Natalie Tong was asked about ex-lover Amigo Chui switching to behind-the-scenes work as a PA. He makes less than a hundred thousand and she's still loyal to him. It is also the first time they met since Amigo switched to behind-the-scenes work.<br /><br />Natalie stressed over and over again that she has no intentions to get back together with Amigo and does not have any mental preparations to do so. She also defended Amigo: “He’s already settling himself, dropping his old status and taking up this job. His is very practical because it is easier said than done. In the future, we will have to see his hard effort performance.<br /><br />Source: Mingpao<br />Translated by: aZnangel @ AsianEUbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-61864470006138240942011-06-26T20:52:00.000-07:002011-09-17T20:52:22.700-07:00Bernice Liu exposes for the first time, already broke up with Moses Chan in 2008<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVfQnGGgkxV08FzCCybyUZKO3J9yKaY8fgIMFaINVpTygpwNq375Xmx8KPgDn3d4OSJYBG6sSKqvL81Dj4ajB8zqTEpp2OjvqbIacR8GWMIHiKouuAcnFMBqRVHNlBnnuLPdpqJk_75GU/s1600/news1.jpg" alt="" width="456" border="0" height="684" /></div><br />Last October, Bernice Liu was spotted on a date with young rich businessman Alastair Lam, ditching her 6 year "secret" relationship with Moses Chan and since then she was labeled as "the material girl". Moses, on the other hand, got sympathy from the public and was named the "best deal" in the industry. Soon after, dating rumors started between Moses and Aimee Chan, which got blessings from everyone. At this time, Bernice could not tolerate it anymore and hinted Aimee was the third party. Surrounded by negative publicity, Bernice reveals for the first time on Mingpao Magazine that she and Moses were already broken up in 2008. She also talks about ending her 10 year relationship with TVB.<br /><br />Bernice did not mention the reason for their breakup, but she expressed that when the two developed to a certain stage, she asked herself if this is the person she truly loves? Can they be together for the rest of their lives? After the break up three years ago, the two continued working as a couple team because they were still under a contract, TVB instructed them to and she is still friends with Moses after all. Still friends with Moses? She said: "No matter if its work or relationship, I want to keep the beautiful memories. Of course we are friends." However, towards Moses' comment earlier that the "the past is the past" and he didn't announce that they were already separated, causing the public to misunderstand her, Bernice felt a little disappointed.<br /><br />Bernice decided to leave TVB because she never got an award in the 10 years she been with them. Also, last time when she was filming series she sprained her waist and still had to continue shooting and flying all over the place. It was until Lunar New Years when she couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't get on the plane. When she got back to the company, she unexpectedly heard someone doubting her "Is she playing games?" This made Bernice's heart ached. She was asked if this sped up her decision to leave? She said: "That made me think clearly, I’m not going to kill my hard work.” Despite this, Bernice expressed: "Well I do have to thank TVB, if it weren't for them there would not be that many people that know me today."<br /><br />Source: Mingpao, Oriental Daily<br />Translated by: aZnangel @ AsianEUbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-86937000830274999412011-06-26T20:51:00.002-07:002011-09-17T20:52:01.170-07:00Nicholas Tse breaks his silence<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieYSTVgV4wPQMJ2FbobXeE-WOnOly8CzODkFcNahxCx2I2E-8B8ytpiPD4CY9OjktwpH0efKjvcZaOPkNOAUAs8D5of1E3998ywWBOrymS7V3q_MRF5GlrXXTlP1j56r3HOyRyRW6sF38/s1600/news1.jpg" alt="" width="444" border="0" height="477" /></div><br />Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi's marital troubles gradually are in the clear. Pak Chi who has been silent for a long time two days ago finally struck back, claiming that Ting Fung was not a good husband and a good father. Two nights ago Ting Fung's good friend returned fire on the microblog and supported Ting Fung as a low key good father. Yesterday Ting Fung issued a statement and said that he has already made a painful decision and starting yesterday would work hard on his family matters. Although he did not specifically say divorce, in his statement he thanked Pak Chi for all that she gave over five years and sent his well wishes. Seemingly the "Fung Chi" five year marriage could end at any time.<br /><br />Two days Pak Chi's friend and manager Emily both struck back on behalf of Pak Chi, citing that Ting Fung loved to act on and off camera as he was neither a good husband nor a good father. Pak Chi also personally said that Ting Fung was not a good father on a certain newspaper interview. Ting Fung who has been working in Malaysia did not respond until yesterday when he finally issued a statement.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />"In recent months the media had different reports and speculations about the state of my family and my marriage. I Tse Ting Fung have always put protecting the family first and hoped to reduce the effects of the matter on my family and my sons, thus I have always kept my silence.<br /><br />After further consideration, today I finally made a painful decision. From today on I will start to handle my family affairs and hope to stop all outside speculations as soon as possible, so my family can bring in peace again and I hope my sons can grow up to be healthy and happy."<br /><br />"Recently the media have been all over the place to cover my family matter, I want to thank the concern of the media and the public; I also thank a group of friends and fans who have always cared and supported me; I am sincerely sorry about any damage or disturbance that this matter has caused my family, friends and all those related. For now I will not make any further response about my marriage and family in order to avoid further harm to my family. I hope everyone can understand and tolerate my silence so I can quickly resolve the family matter and focus on work. Finally, I deeply thank Pak Chi for all that she has given over these five years and sincerely wish her well."<br /><br />In addition, Ting Fung's good friend Sai Yun two nights ago posted online to mainly strike back at the accusation that Pak Chi's good friend has made about Ting Fung. She said that although Ting Fung was working on a movie in Malaysia, earlier he took a day to return to Hong Kong to celebrate Quintus' birthday. No one caught him on camera did not mean that he did not love his son, he only wanted his children to live like children of an ordinary family. He did not want his son to be the focus like when he was a child. She pointed out that Ting Fung often took Lucas swimming and played video games and drums together. Siu Yun also said that as soon as Pak Chi got home she would hand her sons for the maid to take care of. As for Pak Chi giving a watch and a vehicle to Ting Fung and absolutely was not greedy, Siu Yun pointed out that this was only "1/100,000" of what Ting Fung gave. She also pointed out that if Pak Chi wanted to protect the family, she should not perform this act. The pressure that Pak Chi suffered Ting Fung also suffered from as well, only Ting Fung never wanted to "spread the family matter outside".<br /><br />Source: takungpao, on.cc<br />Translated by: hktoptenbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-73988891224828489082011-06-26T20:51:00.001-07:002011-09-17T20:51:39.553-07:00Peter Lam urges Sammi to wed<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcIHCeOcX121YkiMukTyriU8x8iINDSD3id9SP_juS4nk54WUYrIPc6Xqp1NJDqc394_37fXW1wiPFpu7c2vCgIPyzulz2NtHl-3nrR_SHWOPy5PDxn3PTEshXxSwIyzT59NjyBuNTFcg/s1600/news7.jpg" alt="" width="537" border="0" height="422" /></div><br />The Hong Kong Performing Art Academy's 25th commencement ceremony took place yesterday. With her years in the film industry Sylvia Chang (Cheung Ngai Ga) received a honorary degree, Chung King Fai received a honorary drama doctorate degree, Joseph Koo Ka Fai received the honorary music doctorate degree and Peter Lam Kin Ngok received that honorary academy doctorate degree.<br /><br />As the East Asia Entertainment boss, Lam Kin Ngok had the support of many company artists like Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Johnnie To Kei Fung, Anthony Wong Chau Sun, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Ivana Wong Yuen Chi, Wilfred Lau Ho Lung and Denise Ho Wan Si. Lam Kin Ngok's mother, children, Mr. and Mrs. Lam Kin Hong and Lam Kin Ming also attended. Even Michelle who was linked in rumor with Lam Kin Ngok attended.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Lam Kin Nogk was asked whether he would like to share the doctorate degree with his father the most. He said of course, at night he would offer incense and he should be happy. His artists said that the boss had everything so they did not consider giving a gift. He said, "Since they were willing to sign with me, they don't need to. As long as Sammi doesn't give me a red bomb (wedding invitation) I am fine. I didn't hear any news, next time I would ask her for everyone." Lam Kin Ngok pointed out that everyone was like him and wanted to see them get married! Earlier Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi was rumored to sign with Lam Kin Ngok, but Mr. Lam explained that it was a film negotiation. How was the progress? He said that so far he has not seen Pak Chi. He said that the film will not start work until next year so he did not need to be in any hurry. Pak Chi is currently under marriage and family troubles, Lam Kin Ngok stressed that he would not add his opinion on other people's family matters. His only interest was in Nicholas Tse Ting Fung's sons to be in show business.<br /><br />As a Christian Cheng Sau Man said that her gift to congratulate the boss' honorary degree was to spread the gospel to him. She also said that she was the biggest gift to the boss. Sammi said that everyone's achievement was different, she would not force herself to see anyone as a goal. Sammi and Andy Hui Chi On got back together. Earlier they visited Japan together. Sammi revealed that On Jai did not propose to her as rumored. She said that she did not long much for marriage. Currently their relationship was pleasant and did not need too much change. Did they try to have a baby on the trip? Sammi did not directly answer. "That sounds so vulgar, this is the Performing Art Academy. Asking like that is too daring." Would Sammi see the boss as a goal? She joked, "His figure? I don't want to develop sideways." Ho Wan Si joked, "You develop sharply, sharp sharp sharp!" Sammi responded that she developed flatly. She said that she would not have a big belly like the boss.<br /><br />In addition, Cheung Ngai Ga's family, friends and disciples Angelica Lee Sinjie and Rene Liu (Lau Yeuk Ying) attended in support. Lee Sinjie pointed out that Lau Yeuk Ying had to work in Taiwan and left in a hurry. She said that the mentor's determination was worth learning from as she always saw her as a goal. To Kei Fung said that recently he has been busy with a film so he did not deliberately ask Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi to make a movie. He also did not pay attention to their marriage trouble news. Koo Ka Fai honestly said that he never thought about winning an award. Later he will celebrate with his family. Chung King Fai said that he would never retire.<br /><br />Source: takungpao, mingpao<br />Translated by: hktoptenbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-42926073119515409332011-06-26T20:51:00.000-07:002011-09-17T20:51:16.175-07:00Sandra Ng wins an unexpected Best Actress<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoIMh4sU6PecqktMWisU3Angs3A-NIP_oDIKCQxnq-RkCZQTsFNYSe1DOaNiPA87Wpq2GvQfMsT_dT3Jdtm3_Cb1GwnY4IrMiMH4gi3D_uJYfoSXFI-XAAEcAaXCASANGGYG55MJjzIjk/s1600/news4.jpg" alt="" width="450" border="0" height="565" /></div><br />Peter Chan Ho Sun won a special achievement award at the 9th Reggio Emilia Asian Film Festival. Sandra Ng Kwan Yu earlier went with Chan Ho Sun to accept the award. Kwan Yu also brought home an award as she won Best Actress with ALL ABOUT LOVE (DUT HAN CHAU FAN), much to her surprise.<br /><br />Kwan Yu went with Chan Ho Sun to accept the award and to go on a holiday to relax, not expecting to receive the good news upon her return that Kwan Yu with the film defeated the likes of BUDDHA MOUNTAIN's Fan Bingbing and Sylvia Chang (Cheung Ngai Ga), CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI)'s Tang Wei, LIKE A DREAM (YU MUNG)'s Yolanda Yuan Quan and others to win Best Actress. She said, "Actually after coming back from traveling the world with 'hubby', we can accept awards as a 'couple'. Double the pleasure, from now on we have to go on vacations more!" She also said that she just celebrated with Chan Ho Sun for his special achievement award, when she actually had one to accept as well. "That day I thought I was accompanying Peter to accept the award and visit Italy. On the day when Peter accepted the award, the event chair told me that I was in competition as well. I didn't know at all and asked him which movie. That was when I learned that ALL ABOUT LOVE was in competition and the result would be announced nine days later. Peter even put me down and said the competition was strong, in addition some of them like Fan Bingbing and Tang Wei have won Best Actress with their films so it would not be my turn to win. He sank my confidence so I didn't think about it. Yesterday I received the good news, it is truly too surprising!"<br /><br />Source: takungpao, singtao<br />Translated by: hktoptenbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326584354136361946.post-21526283574109981802011-06-25T20:50:00.000-07:002011-09-17T20:50:37.209-07:00Kevin Cheng Resurrects Career Due to “Law Ba” Role<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzZBjpF3PLGgNaaCkN8BohaLyHE7FKdQTu2qwdwYZUuOqR6k18ik_vwAiJv0Y1fZtIteeA67o3a6E5Hnnb9toVO8oUeABKZBY6jRXnO4lzbhsphHx0FFOvUr629Hiwg77up20hwp7lFlU/s1600/news1.jpg" alt="" width="500" border="0" height="329" /></div><br />Portraying a down-and-out lawyer and revealing his “quality butt” in the first episode of Ghetto Justice, Kevin Cheng’s "鄭嘉穎" career was resurrected by the role. His lucky moment may have arrived! The series peaked at 35 points in ratings. Due to the popularity of the series, TVB announced the filming of a sequel in October 2011 featuring the original cast. Ghetto Justice was a surprise hit series and TVB intended to release a film version featuring Kevin and Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), with the addition of various film stars.<br /><br />The original producer of Ghetto Justice, Tong Kei Ming (唐基明), was sought by Shaw Brothers to produce the project along with director, Chung Shue Kai (鍾樹佳). Mr. Tong also revealed that Kevin Cheng was the third choice to play “Law Ba” in Ghetto Justice. “Our first choice was Bowie Lam (林保怡), however he rejected the role to film a mainland series instead. Our second choice was Felix Wong (黃日華), who was busy performing in China and turned down the role. Finally, we considered Kevin Cheng. I was surprised by his uninhibited performance.”<br /><br />Shaw Studios will produce a film version of Ghetto Justice featuring the original cast. Realizing that the box office draw of television actors may be limited, Shaw Brothers will invite mainland stars to surround Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu in the movie version, similar to the strategy employed in Turning Point "Laughing Gor之變節". An inside source revealed, “Shaw Brothers intends to invite Zhou Xun (周迅) or Zhang Jingchu (張靜初). Among the male actors, they will ask Lau Wah (劉燁), Simon Yam (任達華), and Nick Cheung (張家輝). The big film stars will oppose Kevin’s legal team.” As to whether Zhou Xun or Lau Wah may be involved in the project, Producer Tong Kei Ming said, “Everything is still under consideration in the early stages, thus nothing has been confirmed yet.”<br /><br />Source: Next Magazine# 1111<br />Translated by: JayneStarsbkhoihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09442776822302782098noreply@blogger.com0
