Cecilia Cheung's manager issues a statement and declines interviews

Despite all the divorce rumors, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi continued to work on Stanley Kwan Kam Peng's film REPEAT I LOVE YOU in Shenzhen. Two nights ago Pak Chi and Korean star Kwon Sung-Woo worked on a dance scene. Many Hong Kong reporters covered the shoot and even got into a dispute with the security.

Around 10 PM, Pak Chi's manager Emily finally posted a still of Pak Chi and Kwon Sung-Woo online and hoped the media would stop their coverage. She also stated that Pak Chi would not accept any interview. Emily posted, "Posted now is a still from the shoot, friends of the media please leave the set because you are truly hindering the production. I now notify everyone that Pak Chi will not accept any interview or answer any question. Please give her some space. I really don't want your to hurt her. Thank you for your cooperation!"

Jeana Ho and Dada Chen show off

The Chin Kwok Wai directed new film HEI OI YEH PO yesterday arranged for the cast including Miki Yeung Oi Kun, Stephanie Cheng Yung, Shiga Lin Si Nga, Shum Chi Ming, Jeana Ho Pui Yu, Dada Chen Jing and Jason Chan Pak Yu to shoot the poster at a studio. Jeana and Dada showed off their figures and instantly became the focus, leaving Yeung Oi Kun and Cheng Yung to the side. The funniest were the actors who in order to attract reporters' cameras all bent down and squeezed their chests to achieve career lines.

Jeana despite her already ample top still held her arms and made her busts even bustier. She honestly said that she wore two tank tops and her bra to serve as support. Jeana said that her top measurement was 32C but she was greedy and would like to be 34C for her pictorial collection next year. As for breast enlargement, she said that she was all talk, if the price and the sponsorship were right she would consider. Speaking of her holding her arms to pump up her chest, she explained that the air conditioning was cold. Did any actors succumb when they faced her? She said, "I don't know, they all wore sunglasses early in the morning. I don't know what they see."

As for losing the attention to Jeana, Dada said that she already did her best. In the film she appeared in one piece dresses, thus yesterday she continued to wear one. When Dada started she was accused of having plastic surgery and has even been examined for authenticity, she definitely would not enlarge her breasts. She said, "I didn't like (big chest) before, but indeed it's helpful to work. It was larger in published photos, so I definitely would take them out when necessary. Now we are competing the length of the 'career line'." With the summer's arrival, Dada honestly said that summer fashion would be a little sexier. Bikini was definite, because she was sexy she had no reason to hide anything. However she has never modeled in any swimwear and lingerie show. "I am not resistant, I am just waiting for the company's arrangement and depending on the brand."

Shum Chi Ming who came from Taiwan was reported as "hitting on every girl". His new girlfriend was his co-star Lin Si Nga. He instead asked, "Really?" He asked Lin Si Nga, "Did I hit on you?" Lin Si Nga explained for him, "Actually because in the film we are all young people, we have a lot of fun and get along great. So onlookers would misunderstand. However he is a good guy." Shum Chi Ming said that everyone were like brothers. Because he just came to Hong Kong, he had no friend and everyone would help each other. However whether going out for drinks or talks, they were in a mixed group. He also said that so far he has only been in four relationships. As for being accused of being unfaithful, he joked, "As long as they don't write about me hitting on guys it's fine. (Are you worried that your girlfriend would misunderstand?) I don't have a girlfriend. (Isn't she Larisa Angela?) We are good friends. She is an enthusiastic person. We both come to Hong Kong for work so we help each other." Although negative reports more or less would affect him, right now he would focus on work. Lin Si Nga pointed out that Shum Chi Ming was great to both guys and girls. Maybe because he was from Taiwan he was more enthusiastic and attentive. however she did not sense that she was being hit on. In the film they played a couple and she gave him her first on screen kiss. She also said that right now she had no boyfriend and hoped to concentrate on work. Because this year was already her second year in the business, she had to properly take advantage of it.

Jason Chan gets praises in bed?

Jason Chan Pak Yu and Jeane recently worked on a bed scene for the film HEI OI YEH PO, which was not only passionated but also displayed Chan Pak Yu's back tattoo. Yesterday when he and Phil Lam Yik Hong worked on their music video NO LIMIT (MO HAN) he was asked whether he worried about being a bad role model to children. Chan Pak Yu said that he would not because acting was a part of his job. After the bed scene, Jeana was rumored to praised Chan Pak Yu as amazing. Chan Pak Yu awkwardly laughed and said, "She was just praising me that no matter how tough the shoot was I never got tired. Maybe I will be able to explore a new direction for my acting. However I don't have to be sexy, I want to a villain too."

Chan Pak Yu said that in order to play the role convincingly, he studied people who hung out at night. He too liked to go out at night, but he only liked to drink with friends or go to the karaoke box. As for meeting girls at night spots, he said that he would not. Because he was not apt at making friends with strangers, the chance of meeting a girl would be very slim.

[News] Pilipino singer Christian Bautista anticipates "boos" when he front acts for 2NE1 concert


Gossip Girl
By GISELLE SANCHEZ
June 2, 2011, 8:00am

MANILA, Philippines — Korean pop superstars 2NE1 (pronounced “twenty one” or “to any one”) will storm the Araneta Coliseum on June 4 with powerful front acts like Callalily, Bloomfields and Christian Bautista. I was also tasked to do a comic act in-between which is giving me jitters.

But the person most nervous is Christian Bautista. He is actually requesting our producer if he can go first because he is afraid to get boos for 2NE1 fans.

Christian Bautista afraid of being booed? The Filipino pop-star whose albums reach platinum levels afraid of 2NE1 fans?

I mean, it’s understandable for me to freak out on how I’m going to connect with fans as old as my entire career (imagine the generation gap!). But Christian Bautista, whose popularity has reached the entire South East Asia and is super dooper big in Indonesia feeling insecure of his fantastic career?

He appeared very confident though when we had our concert in Bracknell, United Kingdom.

Don’t worry, Christian, music is universal. Once you sing your hit songs, “The Way You Look At Me,” “Everything You Do,” “Invincible,” and “She Could Be,” believe me, after romancing them with your songs, 2NE1 fans will be converted to Christian Bautista fans. I just hope comedy is universal as well as I try to make the 2NE1 fans laugh that night.

Going back to 2NE1, one of the members is very much excited to visit the Philippines again and we all know who she is – Sandara Park or Dara as she is known all over the world now thanks to 2NEI’s popularity. Sandara was the very first and probably the only Korean to enjoy Philippine superstar status.

Although her fellow Koreans like Ryan Bang, Sam Oh and Grace Lee entered show business as well, they were not as big as Sandara. “Krung Krung,” a nickname coined by her fellow showbiz friends to call Sandara because of her quirky personality became famous through ABS-CBN’s 2004 “Star Circle Quest.”

I was so happy Sandara was the “It” star of ABS-CBN because I was always cast then as her older sister.

At the peak of her career, Sandara thought she made a big mistake. She decided to go back to Korea to finish college. When she came back to the Philippines, she received cold response due to her inactivity for half a year. That’s the Philippines for you. You rest for six months and you are already replaced by a new fast-rising star. She went back to Korea and trained with Korea’s YG Entertainment.

Little did Sandara know that what she thought was a big mistake turned out to be serendipity. God really works in mysterious ways. He had great plans for Sandara.

YG Entertainment never meant for Sandara to join 2NE1. But after seeing her KBS documentary and her star potential, YG signed her up in 2007 and she became the fourth member of 2NE1. YG entertainment calls her the “Philippine Boa” and the final ingredient to complete the secret recipe to music’s new evolution – 2NE1.

Other members of 2NE1 are CL, Minzy and Bom. CL is called “The baddest female” and she is 2NE1’s fierce leader.

I was very impressed with her music video “Go Away” although I did not like the part when CL’s boyfriend punches her and she did not punch back. As the “baddest female,” she should have.

Bom took a leave of absence from Berkeley College of Music to pursue a career as a singer. Now that her career is in full swing, she does not know when she will be back in Berkley. It took Bom three years of constant knocking on YG Entertainment’s door just to become a trainee and her persistence pulled off.

YG meanwhile searched for Minzy after her amateur YouTube video garnered thousand of hits. The K-pop sensation got her superb dancing skills form her grandmother, Gong Okjin, who was a famous dancer in Korea.

2NE1 super hits are “Fire,” “I Don’t Care,” and “Can’t Nobody.” Most of their songs are collaborations with Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas who was quoted saying: “2NE1 will be big and not just in Korea but all over the world.” The Black Eyed Peas frontman plans to launch the girl group in the US after he finishes their album.

2NE1’s concert tickets are available at Ticketnet and all SM outlets or log in at www.ticketnet.com.ph.

[News] Park Shin-hye learns the gayageum




A few more stills from upcoming campus music drama You’ve Fallen For Me (aka Heartstrings) show lead actress Park Shin-hye practicing the gayageum, a traditional twelve-stringed Korean instrument that her character majors in at the performing arts college. Despite not having to actually play the music for the drama herself, Park is determined to learn the instrument for her character, who grew up learning the gayageum from her grandfather, and knows it like the back of her hand.

She’s reportedly been taking lessons since being cast for the role, and has even developed calluses on her fingers from practicing. (The gayageum is played like a sitting guitar of sorts — you hold down notes with the left hand and pluck/vibrate the strings with the right hand.) I love actors who really put serious effort into their roles, and I’m just oddly proud of Park Shin-hye for taking the time to learn something that she really otherwise has no use for. It makes her even more endearing (not that she needed any help in that department).

She said, “Kyu-won is a character who was influenced by her grandfather and grew up with the gayageum, as one. That Kyu-won meets Lee Shin (Jung Yon-hwa) and Kim Suk-hyun (Song Chang-eui) and she goes through a period of falling down and hitting up against walls, in order to realize her true dreams and really grow — I want to portray this side of her beautifully.”

Fellow castmate Song Chang-eui has also taken to his role, which is a lot closer to his real-life experience acting on the stage in both musical and traditional theater. Song said, “Kim Suk-hyun is both sincere and playful, which is actually a lot like me in real life, so I feel affection for this character.” He plays a theater director who will direct the university’s 100th anniversary showcase, and in helping these young people discover their dreams, he will rediscover his own as well.

You’ve Fallen for Me premieres June 29 on MBC, following Best Love.

Steven Ma participated 44 singing contests before entering showbiz

Recently Steven Ma continues with his program hosting jobs, and his speaking skills have been praised by the public. The day before, he was invited by an insurance company to be their guest speaker. He shared his experiences with a 1000 employees in the insurance company and encouraged them to face setbacks optimistically. He expressed that when he first entered the industry, he once participated in 44 singing contests and failed in 43 of them. On the 44th one, he finally got first place: "I like to act and sing, so I didn't place much emphasis on winning or losing the contest, just wanted to enjoy the course of the competition. Every time I lost in a contest, I will see it as the beginning of success for the next time!" He expressed that before he became an artist, he worked in publishing and in the business world. He deeply understood the feeling of defeat when rejected by customers: "The persistence on an ideal, the spirit of 'won't fall, won't fall back', still has not changed today!"

Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung rumored close to divorce


Rumors are rampant that Cecilia Cheung Pak-chi and Nicholas Tse Ting-fung, who are among Hong Kong's hottest celebrity couples, are close to divorce.

Local newspapers and websites have been carrying such headlines as "Nicholas Tse asks Cecilia to move out;" "Tse-Cheung fairytale is over;" and even "Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse divorced."

Neither Cheung nor Tse have said whether they have broken up, but Tse did issue a statement on Monday, via his agent, saying he has never asked for a separation, and accusing a Hong Kong newspaper of libel.

The words Tse used in his statement are ambiguous. They seem to emphasize that he is not to blame for Cheung moving out. Hong Kong media earlier claimed Cheung had left Tse's property to live in a rented house.

What's really going on between the couple? What has led to the divorce rumors? Let's take a look at two of the most likely guesses.

Guess One: Property

Hong Kong radio show host Eileen Cha Siu-yan, who claims to be a close friend of the Tse family, is the most cited source on the couple's problems.

Cha has said that the seemingly happy couple have long been involved in a dispute over property. She dismissed rumors that they have divorced, but said Cheung has asked Tse, 30, to transfer ownership of all his properties, including a villa Tse bought for his father, under her name.

"It seems as though Cecilia wants to drain Nicholas of all his assets and property - when I heard this news about Cecilia, I actually di
dn't really believe it myself," Cha said on her show.

Guess Two: Edison Chen Koon-hei

The man who challenged the Cheung and Tse marriage years ago is involved again.

In early 2008, a sex-photo scandal that involved singer-actor Chen and several female stars, Cheung included, shocked entertainment circles. It turned out that Chen, 30, who had intimate relationships with the stars, saved the photos in his computer, and they were retrieved and leaked online when he took the machine in for maintenance.

When the scandal was made public, Cheung had been married to Tse for two years, and had a son, Lucas.

The media showed great sympathy for Tse as they imagined what he had to go through. An emotional Cheung also appeared on TV, describing an apology by Chen as a fake gesture.

As Chen faded from the spotlight, Cheung and Tse seemed to get over the scandal. In May 2010, their second son, Quintus, was born.

After giving birth to Quintus, Cheung launched a high-profile comeback in her acting career, signing on to star in several films. The contracts reportedly made her the top-earning Hong Kong actress.

Last month, Cheung is reported to have run into Chen on an aircraft traveling from Taipei to Hong Kong.

Reports say Cheung voluntarily asked to switch her seat to the one next to Chen. The two enjoyed the reunion by chit-chatting and posing for photos. Cheung strongly denied the reunion, saying the media invented the story, but Chen's agent confirmed the encounter had taken place.

This alleged airborne episode seemed to have an impact on Tse, who was apart from Cheung when she turned 31 on May 24. She spent the day with her son and friends in Taipei.

What is the couple doing amidst the rumors?

Cecilia Cheung is working on a romantic film, "Repeat, I Love You", in Shenzhen in southern China. In the film, she acts alongside South Korean heartthrob Kwon Sang-woo.

However, Cheung was absent from the movie's press conference on May 27, causing wide speculations that her absence was due to her marriage crisis.

Nicholas Tse, on the other hand, is filming the action film "Against War" in Malaysia.

Patrick Tse admits Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung are fighting (Source: Channel News Asia)

HONG KONG: Hong Kong screen veteran Patrick Tse on Tuesday let slip that his son Nicholas Tse has indeed been fighting with wife his Cecilia Cheung, reported Hong Kong media.

"It is a small matter; don't know why it kept getting escalated [by the media].

"Which couple doesn't fight?" said Patrick Tse, when asked if the statements made by popular Hong Kong radio personality Eileen Cha are true.

Cha had earlier claimed that Nicholas Tse and Cheung are now a couple in name only and are on the brink of separation after fighting for some time.

She further alleged that Cheung had demanded her husband turn over virtually all his assets to her, adding that cracks in their marriage had appeared long before Cheung's widely reported meeting with Hong Kong actor Edison Chen last month.

Patrick Tse expressed that he was furious with Cha for interfering with his family's affairs and said her comments were as irresponsible as they were inaccurate.

"What right does she have to talk about things?

"I will scold her if I see her. After all, these are somebody else's family matters. How can she know when even I don't?" said Tse.

Despite raising the ire of many netizens and Patrick Tse for her comments on Cheung's marriage, Cha maintained that she had done nothing wrong.

"I don't want to comment on this further.

"I only did what I should do from a journalist's standpoint, just reporting the truth," said Cha.

The whole studio was laughing again, Cho Lam joked: "I was shaken when I saw Raymond's Chok. Couldn't see his face, but I could feel it already."

During the "Pose King" game, Raymond was so focused on dancing that he lost the chance to get the highest score, but Calvin still praised him: "We don't need to look at him, even his pinky knows how to Chok." During the time, Sammy didn't want to fall behind and did a big Chok split. He jokingly told the audience that he already had two kids, no need to worry about 'exploding eggs'.

Choking all night, Raymond frankly said: "Just let it develop naturally!" As for his recent rumors with Mainland actress Tiffany Tang (co-star in Ad Mania) , he said: "It's funny, just help promote my TV series. I don't keep in touch with her and don't have her phone number."

The Moses Chan 'deal' 50% off

Moses Chan (Ah Mo), Tavia Yeung, Queenie Chu and Cilla Kung attended the Yes Sir, Sorry Sir celebration party. Getting praised by Netizens, 'Miss Koo' Linda Chung was absent due to work, but shares the good news with audience through a recorded video. The other night, Tavia suddenly had a fever, but didn't want to interrupt the filming progress to TVB new series Return to the Three Kingdoms, so she did not take a day off.

Skilled at brewing coffee, Ah Mo spent a few hours roasting coffee beans. Holding onto two pots of coffee, Ah Mo arrived late but treated everyone at the party. When he was performing coffee pouring, he carelessly splashed hot coffee on Tavia, making her squirm loudly. He said: "I grounded the coffee beans myself and brew many times. Too bad I didn't have enough time, otherwise I could even make dessert on the side." Ah Mo did not honor the promise of appearing in swim trunks for high ratings, he joked that he already prepared for his partner. However, audience did not by into that.

As to audience feeling that Ah Mo and Linda should end up as the pair, he said it's necessary for the storyline: "The other day when I was on the elevator, I bumped into a couple, they had a different opinion. It's pretty funny, but I'm happy, proves that audience are into the series. It's a good thing that audience think of me as a bad guy, but didn't damage my image. (Still a 'good deal'?) I hope to be half."

Producer Lau Ka Ho was satisfied with the TV ratings and has intentions to start a new series focusing on the popular K4. Some audience complained that Ron Ng had too little police screen time. He felt it's not about how much screen time, but rather if the role stands out or not. He also supports Linda for TV Queen, but everything is too early to say.

[News] Jay Park Listed as Composer and Producer for U-KISS' New Album


Jay Park’s comeback as a solo and promotions were successful. His expulsion from 2PM and the related problems that made Korea noisy last year took away the light from this talented man. But the Jay Park that came back after a year was relatively calm.

He gained a passable mark in terms of quality for his trendy pop-style tracks of ‘Take a Look Back’ ‘Take A Deeper Look’ (the journalist made a mistake here..) and the title track, “Abandoned”, won first place two weeks in a row right after comeback. But Jay Park’s expression was not 100% satisfied.

“I was definitely concerned about it not appealing to the public. But I thought that this was a chance for me to do what I want and show that nothing else mattered as long as the music was good. I wrote the lyrics for all seven tracks and participated in the composing of six of the tracks. I participated in the album artwork and the music video with detail. I’m satisfied enough with the recognition of my coming back as a singer-songwriter, instead of an idol.”

It is evident that the fandom, which became more unified in this turbulence, took part in his success. In an objective point of view, this is also why his popularity is not continuous, though it is very explosive. However, it is true that critics about Jay Park has met their turning point. Here, his well-made friendships cannot be ignored.

“I hear things like, a guy who used to be an idol changed so suddenly. But it’s apparent that hip-hop and R&B are my music styles. I have been listening to them since I was young and it’s a part of my life. Of course, it helped that friends like dok2 and The Quiett were by my side.”

It is a huge luck for an artist to meet a great partner. If that partner is a friend who knows you well then there’s nothing more to say.

“The priority is to become friends. I’ve met Ne-Yo and Musiq Soulchild. It is significant to meet world-famous musicians but I don’t think that I can make music with them if I can’t become friends with them. To be honest, I didn’t really know Korean hip-hop. I only knew TigerJk. Then I met these friends I became a fan of their music and I wanted to work with them. dok2 and The Quiett are friends like these.”
To Jay Park, official promotions are not more than having fun with his friends. Actually, Jay Park’s activities including club performances with dok2 and other musicians, international tour, performances with AOM, were not done as a marketing strategy or for a specific purpose. They take up a big part of his life.

“There is always only one thing I dream of. I’m not talking about buying a nice car or a nice house. I just want people around me to be happy and live well. I want to enjoy life with my friends, let my parents be worry-free and buy games for my brother that he likes. These are things I can do even without huge success.”

Unlike the goals of his life, he has a big and definite aim about debuting in America. Jay Park limits this time to within two years.

“I am confident, to be honest. I don’t believe that the important thing is choosing which artist to work with, knowing the trend or how to promote. I think it’s the sincerity. I believe I can make people feel my sincerity when I make music in America. I have been listening to pop music since I was little and I know their music. I wrote my first rap in English and I already have a manager to work with me in the States. It is a fact that language is an important factor. It’s true that I need this (language) to communicate my sincerity. Two years; and that’s looking at it long. I think it will be enough.”

We decided not to talk about 2PM. Not only because he already talked about it in many other interviews, but also because he is a musician that looks forward instead thinking about the past.

As a composer and a producer, I worked on Ukiss and Sori’s new albums, and will also hold a concert. I made a lot of songs already so I think my 2nd album will be done soon. To be honest, I’m a bit annoyed since I have so little time for music because of music filming schedules etc. It’s also a relief that my promotions ended quickly (laughs).”

Kevin Cheng reveals his behind to boost 'Ghetto Justice'

Yesterday the cast to TVB new series Ghetto Justice arrived at Sham Siu Po on an open top bus for the promotional event. The cast includes Myolie Wu, Kevin Cheng, Jazz Lam, Sharon Chan, Joyce Tang, Sam Lee, and Sek Sau. On the bus, Jazz shouted down to the neighbors that they must remember to support the "brothel", and resulted in scolds by parents on the street that he's a bad influence on children. Myolie immediately explained that the 'brothel' is referring to Sharon Chan's role. Initially the cast was suppose to get off the bus and give out fliers on the street, but unfortunately there were too many people surrounding.

Myolie exposed that Kevin has a scene where he reveals his behind on the first episode. Kevin was asked if he especially worked out for the scene? He said: "How to work out? I really don't know how to. (Good TV ratings will reveal more?) Leave the revealing to Myolie! In fact, I don't really have much expectation for the ratings. If I can foresee it, then I would go buy lottery!"

It was said that because TVB wanted to protect their TV Big Brother status, they are urgently pushing the rumored couples to boost the momentum at the Sales Presentation 2012. The two expressed that they only know there is a "Show Hand Event" in July. Kevin was asked if he minds being arranged to work with ex-rumored girlfriends Charmaine Sheh and Niki Chow again? He said: "Will worry about it when there are actual arrangements because this may not be the plan. It's a matter of opinion whether or not there is gold to suck. (If can earn money, anything is possible?) In fact, there is nothing for me to mind about, it's not the first time." Myolie does not mind working with either Bosco Wong or Kate Tsui. She said: "Best would be for us 3 to be together, and add in Kevin too, that be the best!"

Both Joyce Tang and Stephen Wong were rumored to be in a new relationship respectively, but both denied. Joyce said: "The person in the photos is not a new love interest, just a friend. I currently still single. After all I am currently living a happy life, the only heart breaking event is that my dog that I raised for 19 years passed away." Stephen also denied dating Coffee Lu and stressed that they are just friends.

Raymond Lam carries over 10 pounds ring of light and charges into HK Coliseum

Although Raymond Lam's gossips with Mavis Pan are never ending, fortunately his acting career has not been affected, and still able to hold his concert as scheduled. Raymond's third HK Coliseum Concert entitled LIGHT UP MY LIFE RAYMOND LAM CONCERT 2011 is scheduled to start on July 30th through July 31st. Following his last two concerts, playing with water and fire special effects, this time he will be using light as the theme with light and a blast of special effects as a symbol of Raymond's rays of light going everywhere. This time, Raymond will be opening all 4 stages for the first time and have close interaction with fans.

A few days ago, Raymond carried a several 10 pounds circular ring of light around himself to shoot the concert poster. The poster used color effects to bring out more light rays into our eyes. Raymond wears a green costume with a ring of light around him to give off a (峯芒盡現) feeling at the concert, the style also gives a fresh and modern feeling.

As for the other day there were reports that said Tiffany Tang Yan was the 'fourth party' that Mavis Pan mentioned before and gets involved in Raymond's relationship. Tiffany's manager issued a formal statement yesterday clarifying that the report is completely false and that someone is trying to stir up false news. The statement stressed that all intimate photos between Tiffany and Raymond were from the Mainland TV series Ad Mania. Tiffany did not know Raymond before shooting the series and does not keep in touch in private life. Tiffany's management hopes the media can stop writing up stories that are not true and to protect their managed artist, they reserve the right to take legal action.
