Charmaine Sheh not worried about marriage (Part 1)




'TV Queen' Sheren Tang and 'Biological Daughter' Charmaine Sheh may have magical powers in TVB City, but their love life is empty. Life without a man, Sheren and Charmaine are similar. Steel blodded Miss Nine can take down bad men any time, but in reality Sheren is longing for love. The unruly Princess Chiu Yeung Charmaine is actually waiting for love to come. Perhaps this is the irony for lead actresses!

I'm watching Sheren Tang battle Teresa Mo

Charmaine says: "The media focuses entirely on Sheren and I, and that is actually quite unfair to the other candidates. We cannot cover up other peoples efforts because every person spent a lot of time and effort in portraying their roles. Actually, I support Teresa Mo. Some people say that her acting is exaggerated, but I believe that this type of acting style for sitcoms is not a problem. Before I entered the industry, I watched her acting, I really admire her comedies!"

In a blink of an eye, Charmaine is already in her mid-30s, TV Queen she already got, money she already earned a lot, even rumored boyfriends she has a huge basket. Her rumored boyfriends Benny Chan, Kevin Cheng, Moses Chan and more names are in a rumor wheel. Until this day she has not found her true love, how does she cope, while there is a rise in 'gold remaining girls'. Filming for a long periods in Mainland, she is completely clueless of the term 'remaining girl'. When she learned the term was to describe women who are over 30 and still aren't married, Charmaine laughed: "Quite a pretty term! I don't feel it's degrading women!" In a series (CBML), Charmaine plays an unruly princess, and is willing to give up everything for love. In reality, Charmaine gave up on love: "When there's gain there's loss. Since I already put all my time into work, the distribution for family and love decreased! Although I always want to take a break, I continuously filmed 140 episodes this year and counting the upcoming Forensic Heroes III, it's 170 episodes total."

Godmother rushes marriage

After all she has reached a marriageable age and Charmaine's grandmother is worried that her granddaughter won't ever be able to get married, so is often rushing her to get married and making Charmaine think of retiring from the industry. "My mom hasn't forced me, but my grandmother is always telling me to stop working and go marry quickly. I asked my grandmother, if I stop working then what do I do? She said do whatever is fine. I have seriously thought about retiring, but I really love acting, it's hard to give it up! Can only leave it to fate, I am not afraid, I will wait until he appears! I can wait!" To Charmaine, dating is a luxury, if she has time, she would rather sleep: "I believe in fate and destiny. But now I am so busy I don't have time to meet people or marry. Even if there is someone pursuing, I don't have time to meet him, Idon't even have enough time to sleep!" In the last year, Charmaine has been constantly filming series, making her feel exhausted: "I filmed When Heaven Burns, Can't Buy Me Love, Justice, My Foot, Colourful of Sister Fa and Female Constables, a total of 6 series all in one go. In such a short time, I portrayed 6 different roles, metally I have not stopped, physically I am very exhausted."

Supports Fala Chen the most

This year Charmaine lost the TV Queen title, but her acting has long been accepted by audience, winning 'My Favourite TV Female Character' is no doubt. She exposed that for several years relied on 'stealing tips' in order to study hard on acting: "I never officially learned acting from a teacher, but I would always observe acting from different co-stars, to learn from them. I am not just talking about the lead character, but seniors like Kara Hui, Felix Wong. There are also Gallen Lo and Roger Kwok, I learn their different acting styles. I remember Seven Sisters, I had a scene where my lines were really long and at the same time I had to mix in several different motions into the acting. Gallen saw that I was so frightened and impatient about it, he immediately taught me to throw out everything and put my entire self into the role, don't let the lines I have to say control me. This method came in good use in my life." Charmaine currently occupies TVB's 1st line Fadan position, towards the group of new talents, she especially supports Fala Chen: "Fala, linda Chung and Tavia Yeung are all pretty good. Though they have good audience fate, but if I had to choose, I feel that Fala has high flexibility. She portrayed two completely different roles in Can't Buy Me Love and No Regrets really well, she handled the roles well. I admire her."

Epilogue: Filial Granddaughter Greatly Loved By Family

Charmaine made a special trip back to Hong Kong to attend the TVb Anniversary Awards ceremony ans stayed a few more days to do several interviews. The exhausted Charmaine, still kept herself going until the end. Known as a filial girl, the day that she was doing the photo shoot for this interview, her grandmother kept calling her. When she was putting on her 5-inch heels along with a long-tailed dress, Charmaine wanted to call her grandmother back, and spoke to her in a gentle voice: "Can do! I will come back! I'll come back tomorrow night to have dinner with you!" After she hung up, Charmaine smiled and said: "My grandmother is 96 years old, she forgets that she already called me. She really does love me!"

Like Mag Lam won for performing my songs." Asked if there were any contestants asking to take photos with her? She expressed: "No, perhaps I am born too short, can't see me. I am going all out now, didn't wear any heels, don't have to be tall to sing and I am not a model."

As one of the MCs, King Kong was asked if he's speaking in bilingual? He said: "My Cantonese has improved, I speak very well, but I still have to put captions. (More jobs lately, making more money?) A little, still eating all 5 meals, basically won't die in hunger nor will I be too full that I vomit."

Whatever he does, he can get into it quickly, but for me I don't have enough acting experience, so at first I was really nervous. When we were shooting intimate shots, I was embarrassed, luckily he taught me how to cultivate my emotions, pointing out to me that this is how to get into character. We had a smooth filming progress." In one scene, it was about Pierre embracing Vincy from the back, in attempt to convince her to stay.

type='html'>Earlier this week, Jay Chou arrived in Europe to promote his upcoming Hollywood flick ‘The Green Hornet’ with the rest of the cast.

There were even reporters who brought along his ‘Curse of the Golden Flower’ EP and asked for his autograph.

Throughout the one-week promotional tour, Jay was interviewed many times by the European media, alongside Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz. Many netizens praised his courage in speaking English: "The fact that he’s brave enough to speak is admirable.” Jay expressed: “Cameron Diaz and everyone have been asking me everyday if my cold has got better; they have all been looking after me.” Initially, Jay had hoped to film the MV for his new song during his trip, however due to their tight schedule in Spain and Germany, he had to wait till their final stop London before he had time to film some scenes.

Jay has returned back to Taiwan yesterday, for a few days rest before he heads off to perform in America and Canada.

Ariel Lin starts filming new movie

Good news for Ariel Lin’s fans. 700 days since her last acting project, Ariel returns with a new film ‘Lovesick’, which began filming earlier this week. However, the Golden Bell Queen says she is very nervous and worried that her acting skills have turned rusty. Thus, on the first day of filming, she took a deep breath and hugged her mother and brother before leaving the house, to give herself some moral support. Ariel also expressed firmly that she does not believe in the Golden Bell curse.

The day before yesterday, Ariel took a break from filming and attended a Japanese tourism function, as one of the ambassadors. She revealed that her favourite rose is pink; and not red, because she feels that red is too strong and forceful. She also revealed her idea of romantic love; and that she hopes her other half will appear ‘around the corner’.

Judy Chou re-launches career as member of latest Mandopop boy band trio SIGMA, hopes group becomes male version of S.H.E

Following success in his participation of Taiwan's popular talent show competition One Million Star and the subsequent release of his own album, Taiwanese solo artist Judy Chou recently joined up with newly formed Mandopop boy band SIGMA. The latest group, consisting of Judy and two debut artists Mrtting Li and Tommy Lin, is the latest creation of Mandopop music label giant HIM International Music, where the rookie group calls girl group S.H.E and boy band Fahrenheit as fellow labelmates.

With SIGMA's music label having sent the trio to South Korea to learn the ropes of boy band stardom, in addition to the music label having spent tens of thousands of dollars to produce the group's debut MV, music label HIM hopes to incorporate the K-pop wave success into their boy band investment as a way to counter rival music Gold Typhoon's heavy investment for their own in-house boy band creation Lollipop-F.

Judy, Mrtting, and Tommy of SIGMA

As the runner-up in the first season of singing competition One Million Star, Judy heads up the rookie group along with Mrtting and Tommy as they vigorously trained for one year before their debut. The name SIGMA was chosen from the Greek letter ∑ since it represented the meaning of "synergy", and the members hope to combine their music, dancing, and aspirations to be a huge force in Taiwan's Mandopop music industry. Highlight their dedication even further, the group arduously filmed for their latest MV with seventeen hours of singing and dancing before they wrapped up the shoot.

To help with SIGMA's dance choreography, music label HIM enlisted the aid of professional dance choreographer Choi Ki-seok -- whom helped on the dance moves for 2PM, Wonder Girls, and Rain in the past -- in order to part his knowledge to the three SIGMA members. SIGMA left to South Korea at the end of October to train under Choi before recently coming back to Taiwan to continue their practice with two Taiwanese professional dancers and later start the seventeen-hour filming for their latest MV.

Judy has been serving as the big brother to Mrtting and Tommy for the new rookie boy band, and in order to better bond as a group, the members of SIGMA have adapted a similar training regimen undertaken by S.H.E from their debut days by living together in the same dorm, going to training classes together, spending their money together as a group, and having their schedules sync together.

The formation of SIGMA has been something that soloist-turned-boy band member Judy has been hoping for for at least three years, being able to debut into the spotlight once again in dancing and singing. After a rough start as a solo singer, Judy gets a a second chance to restart his career in synergy with new fellow groupmates Mrtting and Tommy.

JJ Lin sings on ice; "Remember" gets MV treatment

type='html'>Looks like Ocean Butterflies Music is trying all kinds of methods to get the singer-songwriter to renew his contract with the company, after working together for eight years. In addition to spending big bucks to film a 15-minute short film for JJ Lin, an extravagant press conference was held for the singer at Beijing to celebrate the release of his new album, “She Says”. At -5 degrees Celsius, the stage was situated on an ice rink, serving as a platform for a 7 million dollar (NT) grand piano reserved for the singer.

JJ performed on the piano with his fingers freezing as he played; he wittily joked to his manager, “Why are you trying to ‘freeze’ me?” – which is a term used in Chinese to describe a company neglecting a certain artist or putting all his/her activities on hold. Even with all the record company’s efforts, JJ has yet to accept his renewal contract.

At the press con, fellow singers such as A-Mei Chang, ELVA Hsiao, and Jay Chou sent their blessings via a recorded video clip. A-Mei even took the opportunity to say, “JJ, you wrote me ‘Remember’ ten years ago, and I’ve been waiting ever since for you to help me and Amit to write a new song!”

JJ Lin's "She Says" album is now available for preorder at YesAsia!

Playboyz hits the streets

Playboyz has made their first public appearance by hitting the streets to promote their new album, set to start pre-orders on the 17th. All fans had to do was stamp a red thumb print onto their board to receive a limited edition poster.

Having heard, the week before, that the weather was to be cold, the housewife fans had prepared a large pot of chicken soup for them. Unexpectedly, the weather was sunny and cloudless. 2MORO ended up perspiring so much on their foreheads that they had to shed some of their promotional clothes and left only t-shirts on. One fan, when the staff were not paying attention, embraced the idols and would not let go. The "boyz" were happy to express that they were not afraid of interacting close to fans despite the possibility of sneak attacks.

With 5 groups (2MORO, Fun4, Jun Zi Hao 君子號 (roughly translates to "The Gentlemen"), SK8, and Wei Guo Yuan 韋國元) along with Alien Huang making up this 12 member group, they attracted an impressive group of fans. There was one female fan who brought along a marriage certificate shouting, "Let's get married!"

This group created to counteract the Korean idol wave is certainly showing positive results. Variety shows have all been inviting them to go on and a TV station even wants to create a new idol drama for them.

Bernice Liu loses limelight and refuses to comfort Moses Chan


Famous model Jocelyn and Bernice Liu attended an undergarment event yesterday at Tsim Sha Tsui. Jocelyn was dressed in a bra throwing out her chest and the audience were whistling at her appearance, stealing Bernice's limelight, who just appeared in a dress. Later, Bernice designed a bra live on the spot and the design was labeled as an amphibole (dark coloured mineral). She also received a sexy red coloured undergarment.

When Bernice accepted an interview, she was asked about getting her limelight stolen by Jocelyn? She expressed: "Because she is the spokesperson! (Will you be an undergarment model?) My opportunities to be a model is rather small, in fact undergarment is very healthy, the most important is to have self-confidence when worn. (Need a hight fee in order to be willing to wear?) No, have to look at the image. (Do you have courage to wear this type of undergarment out in public?) No, the weather has been cold lately!"

As rumored boyfriend Moses Chan lost the My Favourite Character award to Raymond Lam at the TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony, asked if Bernice has comforted him? She said: "Nope! I didn't know he felt disappointed! Actually it's not about who lost to who, awards are just a bonus."

Justin Lo blamed shameless and sad that Japanese model implied secret relationship



Japanese model Rui Nakamura recently released an autobiography and will be coming to develop her career in HK for a few years. A Japanese magazine reported yesterday that there was one anonymous article in it describing two Hong Kong artists, also good brothers once had a secret relationship with Rui Nakamura. The content seem to imply that the two good brothers were Gary Cao and Justin Lo. Both of the suspects responded and reacted differently.

Gary Cao's record company responded: "I will not admit to criticisms by false reports, but if it affects Gary's image and reputation, then we will take legal action. Gary is recently busy with promotional work in Mainland. We have already contacted him about the issue, he just laughed after he heard it, and said he'll leave everything to his company to handle."

Yesterday Justin Lo was recording for JSG and came prepared to face the pursuing reporters. He was not anxious and responded: "This is not the first time that I'm borrowed by someone to get promotions. I have to use shameless and sad to describe this girl. (The girl your referring to is?) Rui Nakamura."

4th Time Used as Promotion

Justin admitted that he met Rui 3 years ago: "I only saw her two times, she is my friend's friend. I have no relationship with her. I don't know why she is dragging me into this, this time it is the 4th time I am borrowed by someone for promotions. (Why are they borrowing you for promotions?) I am easy! (Possibly because you often go out to play?) That's just in the past, I have changed now, I hope we don't talk about the past. Actually after so many times, I don't see it as anything big anymore, but I don't know why I have to respond for this type of person. Every time a girl comes out and talks about me, then I have to open a press conference to explain, then I'll be so busy! If I have to rely on her promotions and sell tickets, then why don't I just expose the news myself!"

Hope to marry Korean girlfriend next year

Justin and his Korean girlfriend has a stabled relationship, after the report came out, he told his girlfriend about it. He said: "I was afraid my famil, company and fans would be disappointed because of this. After my girlfriend knew about it, she was a bit unhappy, I already explained it to her, she believes me. (Will be even more cautious in the future?) I am already very cautious, I haven't been out for a long time, now I am very familiar with the auntie at the grocery street markets, I like to buy fish and go home to cook and make soup." He admitted: "To the public, it is difficult to change my 'playful' image, but as a 34 year old Cancer, I am starting to have a family, I hope to make it happen next year. I'm already game over! No, I mean I'm done playing!"

Take legal action? He helplessly said: "This is already the 4th time, if I wanted to sue, then I will sue all of them. The main reason is that I have no money!" Last night, Justin's performance was a little off and had to record all over again.

Joey Yung “Buying” Award? Miriam Yeung Selling “Her” Wedding?

Thirty-six year-old Miriam Yeung Chin Wah will be holding her Hong Kong wedding banquet on December 20th. Since marriage is a big lifetime milestone, of course Miriam wanted to extend her prestige by sweeping the 2010 year-end music awards!

Suppressed by arch-rival, Joey Yung Cho Yi, for many years, Miriam allegedly asked Media Asia’s Chairman, Peter Lam, to negotiate with TVB to give her the Jade Solid Gold “Most Popular Female Singer Award.” The terms include allowing TVB an exclusive half-hour broadcast of the wedding day and Miriam’s agreement to film a long TVB series and two music specials in 2011. It was also made clear that Miriam did not mind her husband, Real Ting Chi Ko, making an onscreen appearance. It’s apparent that Miriam worked so hard in order to win the “Most Popular Female Singer Award.”

Fortunately, Joey Yung also had the backing of EEG’s boss, Albert Yeung. Allegedly, Mr. Yeung doubled its television advertising fees to the price of $40 million (HKD) to pressure TVB [during the awards season]. In addition, Joey has good relations with TVB management. At a recent dinner celebrating the success of her recent concert, Joey dined with TVB executives, Ho Lai Chuen and Virginia Lok Yi Ling.

Two music queens fighting for awards using their specialized tactics, of course the winner should be the one that “sings best!”

Joey Yung gets electrified to laughter by Spanish model's chok look




Joey Yung was shooting a new set of Ads for an electronic chain store endorsement. Being able to take part in the production and creation, she frankly said that she is feeling very nervous. In the Ad, Joey encounters her childhood crush and will personally choose her crush that she has most feel with. Among a group of foreign male models, she chose a Spanish male model with blonde hair. She laughed: "His eyes are so attractive, like the lead actor Robert Pattinson in the film Twilight."

During the shoot, Joey saw the Spanish model's attractive eyes and could not stop laughing, just thinking back she laughs: "He is a very funny guy, we have to look deeply into one another eyes, seeing him chok a pair of electrifying eyes, I couldn't hold in my laughter. There was one part, INGed over 10 times, even the photographer and all the staff were laughing before the cameras rolled. It took 15 minutes before the director could get us to stop laughing so we can continue with the shoot. His eyes are like a 'step nail'. Next time choosing a partner, need to be careful."

In another Ad, Joey was dressed as a Rock Band lead vocalist in her favourite blonde hair leather jacket look. She felt that it stands out enough. During filming, when Joey was preparing the song, she said: "We used 72 hours to complete 4 Ads, we even filmed a MV and a 'making of clip too. We changed the set 4 times and 3 different costumes. Absolutely a whole creation of its own."
