Maggie Cheung innocently rumored with Ben Wong, laugh it off

Maggie Cheung and fresh out of the oven Lives of Omission TVB's 'Best Supporting Actor' Ben Wong are currently being rumored. Already married, Ben and Maggie were photographed eating out together at the TVB canteen. Yesterday Maggie attended a LONGINES ribbon cutting ceremony, and denied that she and Ben were dating and eating together. She thinks of the rumor as a joke, just for laughs and is amusing. Ben is a very good gentleman, and she knows Mrs. Wong too. There is no need to explain to Mrs. Wong: "I was just having a meal with him at the TVB canteen. At the time my assistant and I were eating together, but then I saw him eating alone, so I told him to join us."

She stressed she will not find her other half at work. Maggie said: "I give myself very strict regulations, work is work. I keep work and personal life completely separate. That's why my boyfriends in the past were all people from outside of the industry." She also hopes her Mr. Right appears soon. On Christmas, she will be celebrating with her family and later go on a photography trip to Switzerland with friends. Will she be like Gigi Leung and have a long distance romance? She feels long distance romances are hard to maintain, but all is left to fate.

Yesterday Ben attended a separate event and explained that day he saw there was an empty seat, so he sat down. It is because he has known Maggie for many years and just bumped into her at the canteen. Next time he may just have to sit with the crew for lunch, perhaps that would be better. However, what shocked him most was his wife was photographed too. He said his wife is not very courageous and is shy, so he rarely takes her out to events.

Lau Ching Wan fends off enemies with duck legs

Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Lau Ching Wan and Zhou Xun in the film THE GREAT MAGICIAN (DAI MOR SHOOK SI) battled villains Black Eagles. Ching Wan turned into God of War as he wield the latest and the most powerful weapon "roast duck leg" against the killer in black; Wai Jai battled back with magic and created a magical staff style of his own.

Ching Wan said that when director Derek Yee Tung Sing explained this scene to him, he asked him to use the "roast duck leg" as a weapon. He thought he was joking. Then on the set when the crew handed him with roast duck legs he realized that it was true. With dug legs in hand, Ching Wan wielded his "weapon" like Bruce Lee with nunchukus. Wai Jai added magic in his stunt. He pointed out that kung fu and magic both could easily attract the attention of the audience, but in the film world they rarely merged. Wai Jai and Ching Wan both complimented Yee Tung Sing's creativity.

Viann Zhang met Ron Ng's parents; Vows to have children after marriage

Viann Zhang (???) “mistakenly” posted a bed photo of herself on Ron Ng’s (???) Weibo blog last week and staked a very public claim as his girlfriend. Fan reactions were swift and critical, scolding her for attempting to generate publicity for herself and acting as an unreasonable girlfriend. In an interview with Oriental Daily, Viann further revealed her relationship with Ron, professing that she has met his parents and if she were to get married in the future, she hopes to have one son and one daughter!

Admitting that they had dated for more than a year, Viann praised Ron highly, “He is handsome, stylish, and a good man. He treats friends well and is a filial son, while possessing a serious attitude towards work!”

Viann noted that “checking” on her boyfriend, Ron, was an action that most couples would do in a dating relationship. Asked whether the posting of the bed photo on Weibo resulted in Ron scolding her, Viann said, “No, he explained the consequences to me. He said that this action will result in a lot of reporters following us and will affect our work, as well as the loss of freedom.” (Were you moved by Ron’s actions?) “Yes, very much. This is because I did create trouble for him!” Asked whether their relationship has improved, Viann replied, “We will have to see what Heaven arranges.”

Viann arrived in Hong Kong this week to film Shaw Brothers’ Lunar New Year movie, I Love Hong Kong 2 <2012??HK????>.

Benny Chan escapes jail! Rose Chan forgives him for lewd groping

Earlier, Benny Chan's scandalous groping of 19 year old actress, Rose Chan, while witnessed by a blase Joe Ma (???) in Hengdian, China stunned the world. A very public scolding against Benny for his inappropriate behavior, which occurred after drinking too much alcohol, ensued. The drama continued as Rose’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam (???), called Benny Chan a hypocrite and bastard for his actions. Rose Chan filed a police report in Hong Kong over the harassment incident, while Benny Chan took along his pregnant wife, Lisa Chiang (???), to hold a tearful press conference apologizing to Rose; Benny vowed to cut back his alcohol consumption. Yesterday, Benny published an apology statement to Rose in the newspaper, allegedly as a final effort to change her decision to file a police report with the mainland authorities over the incident. Apparently, Benny’s sincerity worked as Sin Kwok Lam announced yesterday that charges will not be pressed against Benny with the mainland authorities.

Sin Kwok Lam: “Benny Chan Is Finally Sincere in His Apology”

After Benny Chan’s public apology in the newspaper, Sin Kwok Lam held a press conference yesterday acknowledging that Benny’s raucous behavior has been forgiven. Sin Sifu said, “Both Benny Chan and I recently became fathers to baby daughters. Perhaps we should not place such a big stress burden on Benny. My wife supports my decision as well. We felt that Benny Chan has already apologized and contributed to charity donations. The incident should end here; there is a satisfactory resolution for all involved parties. He issued a public apology [in both mainland China and Hong Kong] and donated money to a meaningful charitable cause. There is sufficient sincerity [in his apology], thus we decided not to pursue the matter any further. All legal actions will now come to an end!”

Asked how much money Benny Chan had contributed to charity, Sin Sifu did not disclose the amount, but noted that the donation was no less than Joe Ma’s contribution. Sin Sifu added that if Benny Chan, Joe Ma, and Rose Chan were to collaborate together in future projects, such plans will not be intentionally blocked.

Rose Chan’s Psychological Well-Being Considered in Accepting Benny Chan’s Apology

Aside from Benny Chan’s sincerity in his apology, Sin Kwok Lam indicated that if a report were filed with the mainland authorities over the harassment incident, Rose Chan will be summoned for prolonged questioning by the police. Court appearances may also be required. Rose may need to publicly reveal the details of what had occurred on that day. Considering the psychological impact of such requirements on Rose, it was decided to accept Benny’s apology.

In addition, Sin Sifu denied that the acceptance of Benny’s apology was not driven by alleged triad coercion over the matter. Sin Sifu indicated that Rose was willing to accept Benny’s apology and not forced in her decision. Hopefully, the harassment incident will finally come to an end, while earlier legal actions will be canceled.

Rose Chan Sent Her Blessings to Benny Chan

Stepping out of the shadow of the harassment incident, Rose Chan immersed in work and was currently filming movie, Glory Days in mainland, China. Her mother, Ronnie, who also acted as her manager, responded, “Thank you for your concern. The incident has been properly handled by Sin Sifu. Rose and I fully agree with his decision and are happy that justice was given to my daughter and me. We agreed to not pursue the matter further.”

In addition, Rose Chan appeared in a Now TV interview, sending her blessings to Benny Chan. Rose said, “The incident is behind us now. For his family and for himself, I hope that he will be a good artist. My mother and I hope that he can do it and send our blessings to Benny, his wife, and baby daughter to have a healthy and happy life.”

Benny Chan Learned His Lesson

Currently filming mainland series, Ji Gong 3 in Hengdian, Benny Chan closely monitored the developments of Sin Kwok Lam’s press conference announcing that Rose Chan will not file a police report in China over the harassment incident. Through his manager, Charlie Lam, Benny replied, “In the afternoon, I received the news that Sin Kwok Lam has publicly accepted my apology. Receiving Sin Sifu, Rose Chan, and her mother’s forgiveness, I am extremely comforted. Once again, I thank Sin Sifu’s generosity! I will never forget this incident and have learned my lesson!”

Acknowledging that he will devote himself to work in the future, Benny was grateful for the public’s concern. “I would like to thank members of the media for their care and support over the last month.” Charlie Lam indicated that Benny arrived in Hangzhou yesterday morning and headed to the temple to place his prayers. Since Benny successfully escaped from a potential lawsuit, it was indeed worth paying a visit to thank the deities!

Kate Tsui enhances her acting after collaborating with Francis Ng

Recently Kate Tsui had the opportunity to collaborate with Film King Francis Ng in a new movie. Because the public labeled him as a hard to get along with and has high expectations, Kate was a little frightened. Fortunately, she later discovers that this rumor is not true. Kate expressed Francis is willing to share his acting advices and has attentively directed her. She actually took a valuable acting lesson from Francis and has become a better actress.

Lives of Omission became TVB's Best Series of 2011. Following the success, many are anticipating the new film Laughing Gor Turning Point 2 and how the story develops following the series. Aside from Kate's 'Yiu Ho Ho' lawyer role, 'Laughing' Michael Tse and 'Bai Co' Bosco Wong who remains part of the cast, Film King Francis Ng is also joins.

In regards to collaborating with Francis, Kate expressed she was surprised: "I was really nervous, never collaborated with him before! Later, I found out it was actually pretty ok! He's very willing to teach people, so I put in my greatest effort. For every scene, I tell Francis that he must give me pointers because I really want to know different actors' take on different situations. Luckily, he had patience with me and answered my questions."

After days of 'lessons', Kate had an enriching experience and came to a conclusion: "Francis is a very special actor. He doesn't have a formula with his acting, he will forever have surprises and even in a totally relaxed state. This is a very deep knowledge, so I hope next time I can collaborate with him again. I don't mind doing a series!"

Following the ending of the TV series, Kate's role in the film version already has psychosis. This was a challenge for Kate, she laughed and said she has good chemistry with the other cast. They have a very good time each day, but whenever it was time to start shooting, they will have to change their emotions. Kate said: "It's actually quite difficult to do so. Also, shooting was a little rushed, not much time to warm up. Some scenes, I had to cry too, I didn't even have much time to cultivate that mood. This was a complete challenge to my acting, luckily I was able to get through the difficult obstacle."

Charmaine Sheh will rely on 'When Heaven Burns' for next year's TV Queen

Two years ago, Charmaine Sheh participated in the production of TVB series When Heaven Burns, but 18 episodes have already been broadcast and still the TV ratings are not doing too well. As for the public responses, it has been a mix of good and bad. Some people didn't understand the method of expression of space and time and can't accept cannibalism. On the contrary, some praised that the story is refreshing, something new. However, a common point is audience all agree that Charmaine's acting is good. There are some Netizens who felt pity for Charmaine, that if the series aired before the TVB Anniversary, Myolie Wu may not have got the TV Queen title. It looks like Charmaine's charms are still strong.

Charmaine said: "Perhaps next year I'll still have a chance to be in the TV Queen competition. I hope we all don't forget about When Heaven Burns when the time comes. I am quite pleased with the response, this proves there are improvements. I thank producer Jonathan Chik for giving me [the opportunity] to portray 'Yip Chi Yan'. In fact, improvement is the most important for artists. Awards are a great encouragement. This time, it is enough that the series got pretty good feedback. As for the praises by Netizens, I don't dare to take it. Perhaps the genre, characters and producer are different, Myolie [Wu] is a very hardworking artist. I am happy that she got the awards. For whatever it is, we can never please the whole world. After all, there will be people that are happy and people that are unhappy."

Charmaine reveals when she received the When Heaven Burns script, she already knew the parent generation may not like the series because the genre is more complex and different. In fact, the younger generation will like it more. In the end, Charmaine's thoughts were correct. She said: "I personally love my Yip Chi Yan role, she is different from my past roles. She bears a very heavy burden, because when she was a teenager, her boyfriend died and her good friends didn't take up the responsibilities, therefore she carries heavy emotions. Each time I have to do my homework. Although the ratings for this series is only average, I feel we have won the public praises and that's enough for me. Good or poor ratings is more about the right time, place and conditions. The ratings often do poorly near the end of the year, it is something artists cannot control."

Winning praises from Netizens, will Charmaine be participating in Jonathan Chik's War and Beauty sequel next year? She said: "Under my contract with TVB, I must shoot at least a 20 episode series per year. However, February 2012 I already agreed to take part in a Mainland drama. The crew has already done all the preparations too. I am working very hard to match the schedules. If everyone does some accommodating, I can shoot War and Beauty 2." With that said, Charmaine still has a chance to be part of next year's TVB grand production.

Myolie Wu: With him by my side... it's such a blessing!

Pulling through 12 years, Myolie Wu finally gets TVB's TV Queen title. Over the years, Bosco Wong has given her the love and assistance she needed to get through the tough times in her career. All along, Myolie was unwilling to admit she was in a relationship with Bosco, but finally after being crowned queen, she confessed her love to the "man behind her" Bosco. Her one comment, "I know I am hard to bear, but you are also very hard to bear. I hope we can mutually bear one another" led to everyone cheering that they should get married. However, Myolie puts work as her priority and rationally expressed the award and marriage are two different matters, therefore she temporarily declines to marriage.

Myolie says: "Of course I am very happy to have received this award, but many people told us to get marry. I just feel the award and marriage are two different matters. I just got the award, wait until I do more acting first. I'm sure my fans are already happy enough to see me get the award, I don't need to get married yet! Because if I get marry so fast, I will have to play mother roles. I still want to collaborate with many good actors/actresses...like 'Man Lui' Sheren Tang.....so, marriage is one of the big events in life, I want to take my time!

Depressed personality and emotional

When I'm done talking about not getting married, then many people would come ask me, then what does it mean when I said "its hard to bear"? Actually, it is because of my depressed personality, I am a pesimist. I treat everything I do and everything people say seriously. I get emotional with people... I know I am hard to bear. But as an artist, you must be more worried for it to work! Because artists basically are a little crazy ('shot shot dei')! As for him (Bosco), what about him that is so hard to bear? I don't want to talk too much about other people! Let him say it himself!

Infected by Bosco's happiness

The only bad thing I exposed about Bosco was that his tongue is short! In fact, men with short tongues is not important, if he has other good aspects then it's fine! Bosco is very positive around people, he knows how to get along well with people and can make everyone around him happy. People would think he's very friendly. He's also a good actor, been a hard worker all along. Although his looks gives people the impression that he's not a hard worker, but in fact it is opposite! Also, he has many other strengths, we match. It is really because of his happiness that infected me. I am very pesstimistic, he's optimistic, so it's like one out, the other in, we balance out when we come together.

Exposes Bosco's good cooking skills

Aside from his cheerful personality, Bosco is also a good cook. He is very good at cooking. Stuff like making pasta is nothing big, even if he's making soup out of a can, he has to add ingredients. Even salt water clams isn't a challenge for him! It's because he learned cooking in the hawker stalls when he was young. On the contrary, I have very limited knowledge, so I can never enter his kitchen. Sometimes I feel useless, seeing him so good at cooking, I lose interest when I get pushed out of the kitchen. However, it's nice to have someone like him around, so blessed!

_________________________

Bosco Wong: Myolie's acting isn't too appropriate

As Myolie's boyfriend, Bosco Wong's status is finally confirmed. Of course this is a happy thing. Bosco frankly said he was surprised by his girlfriend's love confession that night: "I really didn't know she would be saying that kind of stuff beforehand. She frightened me! But I am very happy for her, seeing that she got the award. When talking about being rushed into marriage, we don't have plans yet. (7 year itch?) Myolie can help me scratch it off, then no itch! We both like working in this industry, let's do more acting first!"

Myolie exposed he was hard to bear, Bosco also did not hesitate to say Myolie is too negative: "Her negative energy is too strong! Trying to kill someone?! This is something about Myolie that I think is hard to bear. Sometimes when she's acting, it's not too appropriate. I tell her, so she'll feel unhappy and start yelling! (TV Queen's acting is not appropriate?) Not sure if she watched too many Stephen Chow movies, but sometimes when she's acting, she needs some personalization. She doesn't have enough of that! It is just a type of reminder! When I feel my advices are right, I won't go and try to cheer her up. Perhaps this is called 'soft-skinned snake' (slow and cunning). If she gets upset, then let her. If she wants to yell, then let her! So that's why she said I'm hard to bear!"

Leon Lai responds to pregancy rumors, feels like 'rape' and must defend virginity

Last night, Leon Lai's 7 show concert Leon Xu Hong Kong Colisuem Concert 2011 came to an end. Yesterday it was also Leon's 45th birthday. As Leon's wife, Gaile Lok arrived at 8:45pm accompanied by her manager. Wearing black leather dress and 3-inch heels, Galie appeared to have the intention to break the pregnancy rumors.

For the last show, Leon continued singing and dancing on stage attracting Gordon Lam, Paco Wong, Nancy Wu and many more to go support him. His favorites JW and Janice Vidal were his guest performers. When Leon was preforming Hope You Don't Leave Tonight, he got off-key because of the fireworks, but he quickly apologized: "Sorry."

During the time, a Shenzhen female fan asked Leon: "Can I ask you a sensitive question?" Leon laughed: "Anyone has thoughts, what do you want to ask?" The female fan stuttered: "I just became a mother, I don't want to make it hard on you, but I really want to know." Leon answered: "It's not hard on me, women are just curious. Do you want to hear truth or fiction? My principle is I should speak the truth. Do you want me to just tell you softly? Or do you want me to let the whole world know? But I want to ask you first, do you believe in what the media wrote?" As it was rumored Gaile Lok is 3 months pregnant, and Leon did not speak up about the rumor yet, Leon took this opportunity to clarify: "Well I am telling you now, no! This is the 100% truth!"

Following the response, Leon denounced the report for making up stories: "Today I read the news on some news group's website, it said 'Leon Lai finished speaking golden phrase then talks about the process of making babies with Gaile Lok, everyone was clueless'. I know there is freedom of the press, but I also have my freedom of speech. I am a reader, have you (the media) asked readers what they want to read? Is it the truth? If it's not the truth, then it's force. If it is force, then that means its illegal activity between a man and woman, which means it's rape. As far as I'm concern, I will definitely defend my virginity!"

As for Janice, she exposed she broke up with her Western boyfriend last month. She felt heart broken because they haven't even dated for a year, but she is thankful that God is by her side: "I had many unexpected things with him. We have different needs and mental state, we have no fate, so it cannot be forced. (Third party?) No, very lucky there is God. If not, then I wouldn't be able to handle it." Because she and her ex-boyfriend went to the same church, asked if there will be awkwardness if they meet again? Janice said: "I haven't seen him. After we broke up, we haven't kept in touch or met."

[News] (Updated with Photos) Girls’ Generation at Singapore Press Conference!

[Updated with more pictures from the press conference]

Perhaps it was the fatigue from last night’s concert or their incredibly tight outfits and high heels. Maybe it was their craving for chili crab as Yuri mentioned, but Girls’ Generation’s rather enervated moods were apparent throughout the short 20-minute press conference at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, which left journalists, photographers, and more especially us (pubsquash, cedge, doe, SethRyan), wanting more.

Dressed in their signature “Genie” outfits, the girls kicked off the press conference by posing and smiling for the cameras around the room. Following a short introductory speech from organizers, the question and answer session began.

Q: How does it feel to hold your first full-fledged concert here in Singapore?

Tiffany: We’ve been to Singapore a couple of times before but never had a performance of our own. And, after our first performance here and meeting the Singaporean fans, we felt that we’ve had such a warm welcome, and we hope that this visit will be the first of many.

Q: Tickets for the first night sold out in four hours, and after petitions from fans, you decided to extend our concert for a second night, which also sold out in four hours. How does that make you feel?

Seohyun: Even though we’ve been to Singapore before for other concerts and performances, but never on our own, we didn’t know what to expect. We were so surprised by all the love and support from the fans here, and we’re so happy.

Q: Some of our friends here haven’t seen the concert, so are there any particular parts of the concert that you love especially.

Jessica: Well, we released “The Boys” recently, and it’s the first time that we’ve put it into our concert.

Q: How did it feel like performing it last night?

Sooyoung: There’s a particular part of the song where Jessica goes, “G.G.” at the beginning of the song. Everyone was copying her and yelling in sync with her. It really exhilarated us, and we loved how we were able to enjoy performing the song together with the fans.

Q: You girls have taken on a very new style in the new album by trying out rap in “The Boys”. How was that like?

Tiffany: It’s actually not our first time rapping. After all, the girls have always been interested in Hip Hop and R&B type of music. We used to dance around and sing and rap when we were younger, so it didn’t feel very new, but it was certainly very exciting that the fans got to see us do it. Most importantly, I feel that it shows that our group is always up for challenges and taking on new experiences.

Q: You girls have a very tight schedule in Korea and all over the world. How do you cope with that, and how do you do you relieve stress?

Sooyoung: Believe it or not, we actually relieve our stress on stage during performances. We really enjoy performing, and more importantly, we really enjoy interacting with the fans. We really feel the love and support from them, and that keeps us going.

Q: Are there any types of unique Singaporean food dishes that you’d like to try?

Yuri: We heard that chili crab in Singapore is really famous. We’d love to try it but never had the chance to. Today, we tried ice kacang, and its unique flavors really reminded us of a Korean dish called “patbingsu”.

Our time with the girls was unfortunately up. While they may sometimes bemoan the long hours, we could tell from the twinkle in each of their eyes (SethRyan even managed to make eye contact with Yoona and Tiffany) as they left the stage that they were exactly where they wanted to be. They were producing music, taking on new experiences, traveling all over the world and performing for dedicated fans, and ultimately having nothing less than the time of their lives.

[NEWS] Hwang Kwang Hee Decides To Go, To the Jungle

Hwang Kwang Hee of ZE:A attracted attention by joining The Law Of The Jungle in Papua later on.

The episode of SBS TV’s Kim Byung Man’s Law of The Jungle that aired on December 9, showed the struggle that Kim Byung Man tribe (Kim Byung Man, Ricky Kim, No Woo jin, Kim Kwang Kyu and Taemi) have when they entered the jungle of Papua.

However, Hwang Kwanghee who shared joys and sorrows in Africa was nowhere to be seen. Kwanghee who learned a lot in the harsh environments of Namibia in Africa refused to go to the second trip to jungle by saying, “I learnt, thought and realized the importance of many things, but I’m not going for another time.”

However, Kwanghee showed up at the airport after Kim Byung Man tribe left for Papua. Kwanghee explained, “I decided to go because my brothers went. I’ll be loyal to them.”

Kwanghee surprised the production crew by stuffing himself with food at the airport. It was because he wanted to eat delicious food before entering the jungle, where he has to feed himself.

In this broadcast, actress Kim Kwang Kyu, a new member of the Byung Man tribe, decided not to go to the jungle due to his allergies. Will Kwanghee be able to fill in for Kim Kwang Kyu and give them energy?

Once his learning process is over, he will return to HK and if by that time, he still has interest in working in the entertainment business, he will first send his resume to TVB.

Viann Zhang controls Ron Ng's life, forces him to post whereabouts on Weibo

Ron Ng and Viann Zhang's romance is like a chain of drama series. Following the 'Sneak Weibo post' (TN: Chinese title sounds like Lives of Omission) and the 'Don't Blame Her' (TN: Ron's old song), it turns out behind the scenes it's like My Sassy Girl (TN: Korean drama). According to the inside news exposed by radio host Angela Au yesterday, Viann's sassy behavior is endless that is really disappointing. She is very strict towards Ron and under her 'discipline', he was asked to hand over his Weibo password, allowing her sneak in posts on his Weibo. Not only that, she controls his personal life and stops 'HK girls' from getting near her boyfriend.

Although Ron is already in a controlling relationship with Viann with "no freedom, lost of freedom", she does not give up just yet. Even if Ron is away from her, she wants Ron to publicly report his whereabouts in order to control him all day, everyday and prevent any 'accidents'. What happens is whenever Viann mentions "Where are you?" and "What are you doing?" on whatsapp, Ron will have immediately answer her and even has to take a photo of what he's doing at that time, post it on Weibo and prove to her that he isn't lying. Angela Au said: "If he said he's eating sushi with friends, he will have to immediately take a picture of the sushi and share it on Weibo, to prove he isn't lying." What is most shocking is Ron, who had always had the impression that he has a casual personality, did not resist and appeared to be totally willing to be controlled.

Reporters looked back at both of their Weibos, and discovered the two have really leaked their 'sweetness' out on Weibo. Last month, Ron uploaded a photo of a fish, and commented: "Today I went to have Japanese food after work." Ron also often updates his whereabouts on Weibo, like last month he uploaded a photo of himself in a black cap, and reveals he's working in Guangzhou. On Viann's Weibo, she seems to have fell in love with uploading photos of food.

So, it doesn't matter what kind of tyrant Viann wants the public to see her as, but under an "one willing to fight, the other willing to suffer" relationship, Ron is definitely enjoying himself.

According to an insider, Ron may have tried to be confusing and said "we dated before", but they never broke up after all. The two are still in their sweet relationship. The insider exposed Viann and Ron have little opportunities to see each other, but the two utilize all channels to send their love. Aside from Weibo, they also talk on the phone, which is the couple's designated activities.

Viann's manager (Jason) denounced the rumors as 'rubbish talk': "After we check where the source of the news, we will issue a statement to those who are making up the truth."

Mavis Pan groans for being dragged into the water

Viann used Ron's Weibo to post her 'bed photo' and forced Ron to admit he once 'dated her'. This inevitably leads people to think of TVB Siu Sang Raymond Lam, who also had a similar experience with his Mainland ex-girlfriend, Mavis Pan. Reporters called her to asked if she knows about Ron and Viann's recent news? She expressed she saw it on Weibo and the internet, but she is not too sure of their situation. She said it is not her business and is their personal life. She has no right to intervene, but could not help but groan of how she's been innocently dragged into the issue. She feels very annoyed!

When speaking of Viann using a 'heavy hand' to control Ron, Mavis expressed: "At the time (referring to the bed photo scandal with Raymond Lam) she told others that she doesn't know me well. She said so herself, so I don't care about her issues."
