Tavia Yeung defends Him Law's mother: "Don't Get His Family Involved

Yesterday Tavia Yeung, Alex Fong, Yoyo Mung, Edwin Siu and Aimee Chan attended the blessing ceremony of TVB new series A Great Way To Care II. Because Tavia goes undercover in the series, she was dressed as a dancer. Alex teased Tavia of her rumor with Him Law, he said she likes young guys with big chests. In response, Tavia went to touch and poke Alex's chest.

Earlier Tavia and Him were spotted on a trip to Korea together and Tavia has not made a public appearance since, she only uploaded a few work pictures on Weibo. Yesterday it was rumored because Him grew up in a single parent household, he especially feels comfortable being in a 'sister-brother' relationship. A magazine reported yesterday that Him has an 'abnormal love' for Tavia because she physically resembles his mother. Him's parents were divorced when he was a child, so he longs to start a family with Tavia. In regards to this, Tavia supported her 'boyfriend'. She said: "I don't think it's good to get his family involved. (Does Him not have a good relationship with his family?) That is his family business. If there is a chance, I will only listen, but I won't ask. As artists, we are already very open with our lives, and now [the press] is digging up the family background out to talk about too, I think that's unfair to us. (Do you have good news to announce?) I don't have anything to announce. I know the media took pictures of Him's mom. (It was said you look like his mom!) Of course not! I've seen his mom before because whenever Him has time, he'll bring his mom to the set. But how can I be prettier than his mom? She's young and pretty. (The magazine said you and Him are 'abnormal love' [kei luen]) I only know 'deformity' (kei ying), don't know what 'abnormal love' is. That's just how love is, we shouldn't use such wording to describe it. Love is between two people happily together. Many people of different ages can be together, what's most important there isn't any deformity in the blood types."

When asked if she developed a deeper relationship with Him after their trip to Korea? Tavia said: "I had a pretty good time because I went with a big group of friends. Now I have to get back to work." Tavia also expressed as long as there is double pay, she is more than willing to attend events with Him as an on-screen couple or even duet with him.

Yesterday Him accepted an interview over the phone. In regards to the media following his family? He helplessly said: "I understand the nature of reporters' work, but my family isn't in the entertainment industry, I just hope [the media] won't disturb them. The only thing I can say is, my parents have been divorced for so long, but they still love me very much and I have always had family warmth."

Tavia Yeung - A "Clear Water" Life

Thirteen years ago, Tavia Yeung entered showbiz and started her acting career. Back then, she didn't learn from others and tried to pull publicity stunts. Perhaps this is the reason why it took her 10 years before she started getting recognition from the public. Tavia depended on her acting and abilities to get where she is today. She doesn't mind being known as "Clear Water" (??) because you can't become a phoenix overnight.

Clear Water: Practical - Won't Rely on the Media to Gain Recognition

In the recent years, Miss HK contestants haven't even been crowned yet, but are seen all over the headlines of Hong Kong newspapers. In the last 13 years, Tavia rarely had any rumors, it was only in the past two years that the rumors started 'surfacing'. In the early years of her career, she didn't have any scandals, didn't get involved in disputes, never deliberately made any news, she carried as "silent" personality throughout. The media called her 'Clear Water' because she's just as simple as clear water, like she has nothing.

Tavia: "I am Clear Water, I think it's good. At least it's a positive image. At least I'm not some strong cup of alcoholic drink, can't shallow it. Perhaps some people can accept it, while others cannot. In showbiz, the ultimate goal is to be able to be accepted by the public. Think about it, how many people like to drink strong alcohol, while watching TV? When other beverages are drank too much, we will all eventually go back to drinking clear water. So, describing me as Clear Water, I am very pleased."

Clear water differs from other drinks, such as strong alcohol, coffee or tea, it does not require personal taste nor does it have the so-called glamorous rank. A cup of strong alcohol, has a rank, has a taste, it's strong and can get you drunk. Over drinking can get you a hangover, then it's all worthless; A cup of coffee, has a certain value, tangible benefits, many different tastes, people first considers its quality before making a selection, but then its gustation; A cup of Clear Water, has no taste, no fragrance, it's light and clear, but it's thought provoking.

A cup of Clear Water is simple, no additives and is suitable at anytime, any day and in any situation. Compared to other beverages it is more popular because it's "popularized" and very easy to "accept". This describes Tavia, she does not need any exaggerated rumors, just taking it slowly is actually easier for audience to accept her.

Clear Water : Views - This Industry is Uncommon

"Everything originated from a cup of Clear Water, when doing anything, it all starts from Clear Water. Whether Clear Water could be diverse or not, it is all based on how that person is taught."

But, artists should be multicolored and have an unique flavor to be able to make a breakthrough. Aside from being popularized, Clear Water doesn't have any outstanding qualities, but Tavia apparently wants to keep being Clear Water. Even if there is no way she could stand out among all the beverages, it doesn't matter to her.

"I'm willing to be like this, its uncommon to be in this industry, but because it's uncommon, I'm willing to be a commoner. But, the most important is, I hope to maintain the purity, and be Clear Water without any impurity. Even if everyone thinks it's better to have more diversity now, but being simple inside is very important."

Clear Water: Realistic - Depend Only on Hard Work to Climb Up

"I think coming out of the Artistes Training Class is a bit stronger, especially with the fundamentals. I'm not saying Miss HK isn't good, just you spend a longer period of time in the Training Class. You have to go from a nobody to someone that people knows. After completing the training, you have to get chosen by [producers] to be able to participate in TV series. Then, you have to wait for the series to air, and after it airs, you have to see if your character left a deep impression on audience. I believe if you want to get up top, you can only rely on your own hard work. You have to count on yourself, count on leaving a deep impression for audience, and to take advantage of the opportunities before you."

Constant perseverance yields success. It is overtime that your accomplishments are seen. Graduated from the TVB Artistes Training Class, Tavia is like a cup that went through a filter before getting to the drinkable water. She took it step by step getting through the layers and layers of sand, gravel and cotton before she was able to get drinking water out. Each step, each footprint; each series, each role; year after year, day after day of training and learning, got her where she is today.

"I think I'm very lucky and have put in a lot of time. If we take the last 12-13 years, I had a pile of luck because many people have debuted earlier than me, and they have actually been very hard working as well, but they still have nothing."

Clear Water - Procedure: Insist on the Convention

"My current position in the course of my life is I am at the stage of work. My next stage in life may be marriage and having children. Then, I must go through illness and death. I just believe this is a life process. I won't jump over a stage in life and not do it. For example, I want to marry. People have asked me if I want to do a wedding photo shoot, I say of course. It is part of my life memories. If he gets old one day, and realizes you have done so many wedding shoots, but none of them are with the person you love, someone who stands next to you to take these wedding photos, then I feel it's a regret. So, I will not miss these steps."

However, Tavia is not rushed for marriage or having kids.

"I believe women have had a moment where its love at first sight. Of course, you look at the person's appearance first, but when you enter the professional world and meet more people, you will no longer believe love at first sight. Because love at first sight, will never leave from the looks that attracted you. I just feel I have to be more realistic, must look at how his personality is like and be friends first. Because in this industry, there are too many attractive things, there are the beautiful ones, like the handsome and very masculine men, these are all just descriptions based on the outer appearance."

Epilogue

Within the showbiz of brilliant colors, if you don't have status, then you will have to spend a few more years of time in order to gain recognition; If you don't have any eye-catching scenes, then you will have to put in much greater effort to let the audience know that you are around. The "Clear Water" Tavia Yeung, who does not pull publicity stunts, have been in this industry for over 10 years before she gradually gets "free publicity", and this is when she really gets a sense of how popular artists are surrounded by gossips.

Although in reality, we all know newcomers want more rumors and gossips in order to become famous faster, but if these rumors are going on every day, it's going to get boring. Just like drinking the same beverage everyday, eventually it gets tiring. Actually, a cup of Clear Water, wins over every beverage out there.

Reality is reality, must have a realistic attitude. Getting popular from rumors, that's just a moment of fame; Getting popular from your true capabilities, that's going to be lasting; Learn to crawl before learning to walk, slowly leave footprints one step at a time; Becoming popular in a reasonable manner, will get you farther. Tavia Yeung deeply understands this principle, just silently plowing through as a cup of Clear Water.

I don't ask my sister about her personal life, but if she does find her Mr. Right, then she should introduce him to us. She frequently ask me if there are any good guys that I could introduce her to."

Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse were shooting a marriage proposal scene for TVB new series Justice Pursuit & Attack on the busy street in Causeway Bay. Nearly 500 bystanders and tourists watching the scene, pushed through into the restricted area and obstructed the shoot. On camera, there were suddenly a few hundred extra temporary actors that appeared, this time TVB really profited! Tavia Yeung can't help being too charming, one four eyed man successfully got close to her and kept taking pictures, which frightened Tavia a bit and didn't know what to do. In the end, a staff had to come in and protect her. Because of the crowded street, at one point, the police came by to check on them.

In one scene, Tavia and Sharon were taking a stroll on the streets and were surrounded by a large group of pedestrians. During the time, a four eyed man dressed in a white suit came close and stared at Tavia and took close up shots of her. Tavia was a little frightened, but remained calm. The staff besides her immediately went forward to protect her. Tavia later expressed: "That man wasn't a temporary actor. Actually that's how it is when shooting on a busy street, I wasn't frightened. I was just afraid it would hinder us from shooting the scene. We have to use time wisely to complete the scene." Tavia stressed she didn't have any body contact with the man because she was protected by the staff around her. Asked if the four eyed man's eye expressions made her feel uncomfortable? She said she didn't care and didn't look at him.

Later, the scene where Michael proposes to her was a big deal. He first told Otto Chan to lay out the red carpet, and then dressed in a white suit, Michael sang Tavia a love song on the red carpet to confess his love for her. Good friend Sammy Leung was by his side capturing the whole thing on video, while Sharon Chan and Benz Hui were on the side cheering for them. Tavia appeared very surprised. Later, the two had a dance in front of the 500 onlookers, but didn't have any kiss scene.

When asked why she didn't have a kiss scene with Michael? Tavia said: "That's how the scene was arranged, I rejected him and then left. This is one of the big scenes in the middle of the series, it's pretty shocking, but not too difficult." When asked if she had ever thought of how it would be like when rumored boyfriend Him Law proposes? Tavia laughed: "Most important is to find a suitable partner, doesn't have to be anything big. We already have too much attention, artists shouldn't have too much attention, just let nature take its course and everything goes normally, I'll be happy enough."

Michael gets rejected, the Crowd goes silent

When Michael did the proposal scene, his face and ears turned red. Everyone cheered when he made his proposal to Tavia. Michael laughed and said, he was so nervous he started sweating and his heart beating loudly: "That moment felt special, the live audience really made a nice atmosphere. Just now when Tavia rejected me and left, the entire crowd at Causeway Bay went silent! That was a very real reaction, priceless! It made me think of back when I proposed to my wife, the young man feelings all came back! Its quite cute. (Did you know Tavia was frightened by a man staring at her?) I had people approach me too, only thing is to try best to protect her during idle time."

Master of Play's Tragic Death Couple Matt Yeung & Iva Law gains recognition

Bloody murderous TV series Master of Play has been named "TVB's Most Flavorful Production in History". Although last week, the series lost the housewives audience, resulting in a 3 point rating drop down to 24 points, still there are Netizens supporting the series. Aside from the two attractive main leads Adam Cheng and Moses Chan, senior police inspector played by Matt Yeung and Iva Law, appearing in only two episodes as the sexy undercover, both caught Netizens attention as well.

Matt Yeung and Iva Law play a couple in the series; both have been in the industry for over 10 years. When Matt first debuted, he was fortunate that TVB heavily promoted him, but unfortunately back then he didn't cherish the opportunity and even became the first TVB artist in history that had to repeat the Artistes Training Class. The most miserable was when he had no income for six months and practically lived on seeds.

Retakes the TVB Artistes Training Class

31 year old Matt Yeung entered the industry 14 years ago, but all along, he only had minor roles. Last year in TVB sitcom Be Home For Dinner, Matt's role as Tin Hoi got him on the rise again, and he finally gets recognition in his latest series Master of Play (MOP). In fact, Matt graduated from the 1998 TVB Artiste Training Class, the same year as Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung. Soon after, Matt rose to popularity when he portrayed a role intimating Nicholas Tse in Screen Play and was heavily promoted by TVB. Unfortunately, back then he didn't know how to cherish, always went for late night partying at the nightclubs and got in trouble with the law. TVB had to set him aside before he could wake up and start behaving.

In 2005, his career was almost game over when he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and criminal damage. This time, he had the rare opportunity to portray the serious senior police inspector in MOP and make a breakthrough. Matt said: "Initially when Ah Chik (producer Jonathan Chik) came to me, I was afraid I couldn't do it, and there was no script, each day it was all last minute scripts, so I was really nervous. Before, I didn't know how to cherish my opportunities, I liked to play and cause trouble. Five years ago, I even became the first TVB artist in history to repeat the Artistes Training Class. In between, I actually wanted to give up as I had absolutely no jobs during that period. I was hopeless for 6 months."

If Matt didn't want to go homeless, then he really had to find something to do, but unfortunately he failed. Matt continued: "That time I tried to save up and start a business, a clothing store. Once I had time, I would go stock up on merchandise and do everything myself, but the store only lasted for a short period. I couldn't handle the business, so I had to close it down. I then tried selling mitten crabs in Jordan, but that only lasted for a season (3 months). At the time, I didn't know what to do anymore, one day I looked at myself in the mirror, and couldn't help but say to myself, 'You hell boy, misbehaved and wasted all your opportunties.' All along it was due to Catherine Tsang giving me all the opportunities that I was able to continue acting!"

Today, Matt knows better and is well-behaved. Last year, he announced on Weibo that he plans to marry his girlfriend (Joanna) at the end of the year. The couple have been dating for over two years.

Iva Law - Sexy Undercover Marries German Boyfriend

Iva Law entered TVB 12 years ago, and had only been playing naughty young girls or prosititutes. This time in Master of Play, she plays an undercover cop. Although she only appears in two episodes, she still grabbed attention by her sexy short skirt and long legs. She 'poisoned' all the guys, as they watched the scene before her death over and over again. It turns out this sexy undercover already married her German I.T boyfriend last year. Iva said: "Although I have thought of giving up, but it is not because of what roles I get, rather it is safer to be an all-round artist. So, in 2006 I studied makeup in Japan to increase my value and came back realizing that I really do like acting. Luckily TVB let me come back. (Does your husband mind that you get so sexy on-screen?) Haha...I just do it first every time, then I tell him afterwards. If I tell him beforehand, he definitely won't allow it! My husband owns an I.T company, not considered wealthy, but I don't have to worry about the finances. Acting is realy just my hobby!" In 2003, Iva sparked love after collaborating with Lawrence Ng, 15 years her senior, but unfortantely the relationship only lasted for about a year before ending in a break up.

It was said Tavia has to see a secret miracle doctor, yesterday Tavia attended an event and expressed: "I just have a waist injury, not as serious as you all have imagined it to be. (Him Law didn't send his regards to you?) Regards are sent whenever something happens. (Did he accompany you to the doctor?) No, I go see the doctor myself when I have time."

Tsui Hark who attended the FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP) celebration two nights ago yesterday made an appearance. Charlie said that he watched her grow up. The story was not the average romantic film, the court would be its background. Hopefully it will be released this Christmas.

Playing a lawyer for the first time Kwok Fu Sing admitted that this story was interesting. He said, "I have heard lawyers have different levels of knowledge, even a big name lawyer and an ordinary one are different. They have a lot of details." Sing sing admitted that he knew lawyers had a lot of regulation. In the film he played a stubborn lawyer with principles. He revealed that in reality he had a lot of lawyer friends. As for working with Kwai Lun-Mei, he said, "Right now the shoot hasn't officially started, we are at the rehearsal stage." As for salary reduction, Sing Sing stressed that he was not at liberty to reveal. He only thought that the script had space to display his abilities and he thanked Charlies for the chance to play a lawyer. Uncle Chi even said that Sing Sing received "heavy salary" (friendship heavy salary).

As for Xia Yu the last time he came to Hong Kong was seven years ago when he worked with Uncle Chi. Old flame Gao Yuanyuan was caught with Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting), Xia Yu pretended that he did not hear. The media asked many times he still just smiled and said, "I really can't hear!" Uncle Chi helped. "Lawyers should hear what they need to hear, and not hear what they shouldn't." Speaking of good friend Lo Hoi Pang winning the Best Supporting Actor Hong Kong Film Award, Uncle Chi said that he would force him to treat him to dinner. as for So Hung Shuen's hospitalization, he said, "I know that she has diabetes for a long time, at the suitable time I will visit her."

Kwai Lun-Mei revealed that she met Kwok Fu Sing last time in LOVE IN SPACE (CHUEN KAU YIT LUEN) but did not work together. This time she was excited. She even said that this costume would be a breakthrough. Two nights ago she did not win the Best Supporting Actress Hong Kong Film Award, she said that she was not disappointed. She only hoped FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (LUNG MOON FEI GAP) would be able to win a few more awards. She would keep working hard. As for earlier claim that Qin Hailu was pregnant, she denied it yesterday and explained that medication increased her weight. She said, "I got a dozen or so Jin heavier. Earlier I had some platelet problems and now I have already recovered. However I want to be pregnant too." She said that she did not have a mate in mind but denied that she aimed high. She just want to find an average guy like an average girl.

Miriam Yeung pokes fun at Shawn Yue's feminine performance

Linda Wong, Shawn Yue and Pang Ho Cheung demonstrate classic moves from the music video

The film LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) after five days in release already made 10 million at the box office. The film company immediately held a celebration two nights ago. Aside from the pregnant lead actress Miriam Yeung Chin Wa, other attendees included lead actor Shawn Yue Man Lok, director Pang Ho Cheung, boss Peter Lam Kin Ngok, Linda Wong Hing Ping, Isabel Chan Yat Ning, June Lam Siu Ha and Jim Chim Sui Man. Ah Lok's parody of Wong Hing Ping's DON'T ASK WHO I AM music video is spreading like a wild fire online. A music video duel between Wong Hing Ping and Ah Lok's versions was shown and had everyone holding their sides. Ah Lok even mischievously asked whether anyone from the record company was present. If the video could be shown at karaoke boxes, he would be able to win a "Golden Melody Award" and "Best Female Singer" award without any effort.

The pregnant Chin Wa said that originally her husband Real Ting Chi Ko wanted to attend as well, but later due to a business meeting she attended alone. She remembered the first film only made 110,000 in its first week, this time after five days it passed 10 million. She truly felt very happy. Since she was unable to attend the Mainland promotion and she had to eat anyway, even if she was less than mobile she still wanted to attend. Did she feel the baby was very lucky for her? She said, "Probably more strength! Actually the credit doesn't just go to one or two people, the script is written well and everyone performed well. (Would you let the baby perform if there is a third movie?) Hubby doesn't want him to be in the business when he will be so little. In addition he will not know how to react yet. I have worked with children on movies, at night they cried a lot. For pictures he should be fine, but let's see the script first!"

Ah Lok's parody made Wong Hing Ping's music video very popular. Chin Wa joked that the might of his cross dressing was like being topless. Some said that his impersonation looked like former rumored girlfriend Emme Wong Yi Man, Ah Lok said, "Don't take advantage of the situation!" Chin Wa chimed in and joked that his nose was a little crooked, that he could develop in many directions from here on. Would Ah Lok go out in his woman disguise? Ah Lok asked, "How? People would hit me after just a few steps, my face would be swollen by the end of the block!" Chin Wa also joked that being topless would not be as entertaining as his cross dressing. Ah Lok humbly said that he already did his best and was confident that the online hit rate would be the highest, even Eason Chan Yik Shun had to make room. He also revealed that when Wong Hing Ping first saw his music video she was frightened to tears, maybe because she thought he was "too pretty". Will he disguise himself as a woman again? He said, "I need more negotiation. If I have to again I have to charge twice and be nominated for both Best Actor and Best New Female Performer. Actually this isn't the first time I played a woman, it's just the first time that I played it so outstandingly."

Speaking of earlier claim that he was box office poison, did he feel validated this time? He said that he did not mind, since today the miracle drug might turn back to poison if the next movie would bomb at the box office. It would depend on what nourishment was being taken at the time and how the health was. Chin Wa wanted to change the subject and blamed him for always mouthing off around her. Ah Lok joked that was
embryo education. Chin Wa joked, "I watched the movie twice, I am really worried that as soon as he is born he would 'greet' me. All the uncles and aunties he would know are monsters. When you are dressed as a woman Hubby covered my eyes!"

In addition, playing Chin Wa's friends Chan Yat Ning and Lam Siu Ha became eye catching support. Chan Yat Ning's sharp lines even received great reviews. In the insurance business, she has not yet received more film offers. She would have no problem with foul language in the future either. Speaking of her repeating that line during the audience appreciation, she said that she decided to give her all long ago. During the shoot she was the happiest that she was able to become familiar with Chin Wa and Lam Siu Ha. Once an acting student of Chim Sui Man, Lam Siu Ha's performance even received praise from Chow Yun Fat. She laughed, "I want to thank him, Fat Gor is a Hong Kong actor who I like very much. (If a third film would be made, would you ask the director for a bed scene with you and Huang Xiaoming?) I haven't thought about it, I don't know whether such a character would be in the next one. I don't need such special treatments, let's wait for the director's arrangement!"

Albert Yeung exposes his wife caught him having an affair

EEG CEO Albert Yeung accepted Mingpao Weekly magazine interview and told the story of when he and a female artist went to 'get a room' at the hotel and his wife caught him. As the female artist is now married, he refused to reveal who that female artist was.

Back then, Albert Yeung met a female artist at a gathering, and the two 'got a room' in Kowloon Tong. Suddenly someone ratted him out, his wife and sister-in-law went rushing over to find him. He tried to delay his wife and leave the scene. Fortunately Albert met a good friend, [he/she] admitted he took the female artist to get a room and when he got home, he pretended to be drunk. Albert bribed the watchman and all of the domestic workers to be his witnesses. Although his wife didn't believe it, but she had no evidence either. It was only until he was jokingly telling Philip Chan about it, and unexpectedly several months later, the story was made into the film Ke Le Fe ??? (1978). Kenneth Tsang was pretending to be him, while Idy Chan pretended to be his wife. At the time, he didn't know his story was in the film and invited his wife to watch the premiere. Results, his wife saw the film and was very angered, she felt humiliated and the couple ended up in a divorce.

As for his current wife (Luk Siu Man), Albert expressed there is no man on earth that isn't greedy or perverted. He still has a girlfriend, but he will be careful. When speaking of good friends Jackie Chan and Elaine Ng, at the time Albert wanted to be the middleman, and give Elaine "shut up money", so she won't disclose the 'Siu Lung Liu' (illegitimate daughter) incident. Later, Jackie chose his own method to handle the whole situation, and publicly admitted he made a mistake that every man in the world would make. So, the rumor that Albert Yeung gave HK$30 million to Elaine Ng is not true. Albert will be releasing his autobiography Courage that he spent 3 years to prepare.

Shirley Yeung 'smuggles' daughter back to HK; Refuses to say who father is

Last year, Shirley Yeung dumped long time boyfriend Gregory Lee for former HK diver Andy Ng and was accused of being a two timer. She was later spotted pregnant in Los Angeles and was rumored she married Andy. Since that incident, Shirley's reputation hit rock bottom. As Andy was no where to be seen while Shirley went into labor in the US, Shirley became a single-mother and must make a comeback to earn the 'milk money'. Yesterday, Shirley carried her newborn girl Krystal on a long several hour flight back to HK with her. However because Shirley didn't have the courage to meet the press with her daughter, she first left Krystal with her mother and then passed her to a friend before she stepped forward to meet the press.

Soon after, TVB executive Virgina Lok and four other staff members arrived at the airport to pick Shirley up. There were over 30 reporters swarming around at the scene. Covered in black and shades, Shirley clearly gained some weight. The airport staff helped her push a cart full of 5-6 luggage, but unfortunately during a turn around the corner, the luggage toppled over. It was an embarrassing site.

Later, Shirley personally confirmed she had her baby without being married and admitted that her daughter will take her last name, Yeung. However, when speaking of Andy Ng, Shirley's expression changed and she denied to answer. She said: "Hello everyone. Thank you all, I'm back today. Really thank the media, reporters, my family, TVB and Miss Lok for all the concern. I will take good care of my daughter and hope she will have a healthy growth."

Shirley frankly said during this period, her company TVB and friends have really helped her out, then she immediately cut the conversation off: "I won't talk about other things. (Where's your daughter?) She left already." Reporters pursued the questions and asked if Krystal's biological father is Andy Ng? Did she break up with him? Shirley did not answer, but Miss Lok spoke up to encourage her: "Just answer as much as you can." Shirley insisted: "I will not respond." It was said Andy was introduced by her mother. Shirley did not respond to that either and just smiled: "Thank you all. That's about all I need to say, I already said it on Weibo and at TVB. I will not respond to other matters. (Will you ever tell your daughter who her father is?) I will do my best to take good care of her. (What will happen if she asks you in the future?) Worry about that when she gets older." Asked if Krystal is already back in HK? Shirley admitted she already sent her baby girl off through a secret passage. She also expressed Krystal is too young now and can't handle all the camera flashes. When asked if her Krystal will take her last name? She said: "Krystal will go by my last name. (You broke up with the baby's father?) No comment. (Is he Andy Ng?) I'm not going to say. (Do you still keep in touch with Andy?) I'm not going to say. (Won't mention him again in the future?) I won't answer." Miss Lok, who was besides her, told Shirley to listen to her mother and don't be too stubborn. Shirley said she will listen to TVB. Now that she's back in HK, will she contact ex-boyfriend Gregory? She said: "Probably not."

Last night [Oriental Daily] contacted Shirley by phone, feeling unwell, Shirley said with a hoarse voice: "I got the flu. (Is Krystal not feeling well either?) Yeah, we didn't go see the doctor, just at home. (When will you make your comeback?) Take a little break first. Krystal is running a fever after she got back!"

Once Shirley got off her flight, she went to do a Scoop interview. She said her baby was 6.9lbs at birth and she and her mother are currently taking care of her. As a mother for the first time, Shirley expressed she is most nervous when she 'burps' her baby because if not done well, she will get sick. As for her future jobs, Shirley expressed TVB will arrange it. Although Shirley's image has been damaged, it was said her appearance money still remains high at HK$10,000 - HK$12,000.

Miriam Yeung bares her back to tempt Shawn Yue

LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) at the end of March will be released. Both leads Shawn Yue Man Lok and Miriam Yeung Chin Wa looked forward to it very much. The pregnant Yeung Chin Wa stated that on March 21 she definitely will "apply" to participate in the premiere with her husband.

Chin Wa in the film wore a revealing black dress, which Lok Jai joked that he would never imagine Chin Wa would wear. In this scene Chin Wa met with her old flame Lok Jai. He guessed that she would wear a low cut dress but it was a back baring dress that attracted his eyeballs. This dress was Chin Wa's own. She said that the team arranged many for her to try but she thought that Chun Giu wanted more, as she should be sexy yet not too deliberate. She said, "I don't want to bare my chest since there isn't much to see. So I brought my own dress. Lok Jai's reaction proved that my decision was right!"

During the shoot they were very focused, except the Spanish dishes on the table distracted him. Chin Wa and Lok Jai could not help themselves as they sat down and ate whenever the shoot stopped. The team had to keep ordering to fill in the food that constantly disappeared in extreme speed. In addition, when they shot in Beijing in one scene Chi Ming went out late with his co-workers; that day the director arranged for 200 extras, most of them were present because they liked director Pang Ho Cheung and knew that Yue Man Lok would be there when they automatically applied. They were very focused during the shoot. Instead Lok Jai who felt that he was no longer young was numb to going out at night.

As for Chin Wa who did not go out at night still had fun because she could work while applying a facial mask. In one scene Chin Wa and her friends chatted while they applied facial masks and ate.

Tavia Yeung steals a touch on Him Law's built body

Tavia Yeung, Him Law, Kenneth Ma and Mandy Wong attended TVB series The Hippocratic Crush promotional event yesterday. It was announced at the event that last week the series averaged at 30 points and peaked at 33 points.

When Him mentioned the diving scene that broadcast last night, where he only appeared on-screen with swim trunks, Him felt his body figure was much more fit than now. Him said: "I think it's pretty good. (Did Tavia praise your body figure?) Yes, but she didn't touch." Tavia also greatly praised Him's sexy body figure and exposed that day when they were shooting the swim trunk scene, she couldn't help but: "touch him for behind." Asked if she thinks Him's amazing? She said: "It's good for men to have a built figure!"

However, Him will soon give up his built figure and switch to a slender figure to accommodate for his new series. Him frankly said he loves the built figure because he'll look better in his clothing.

When Tavia learned Him will be losing the muscles for his new series, she said: "Most important is to be healthy! At my age, I won't try to change my body figure for a series because I fear gaining weight just to shoot a series will affect my health. Also, Myolie Wu gained a lot of weight to shoot a series before, she's already a representative, so I don't have to go purposely do it."

As for Kenneth Ma, earlier he exposed his previous relationship with Nancy Wu. Nancy was displeased by the exposure and blamed him for trying to get publicity. Kenneth explained: "She probably said it in a joking way. (Did you ask her prior to exposing?) Yes, because the public said she's greedy for fortunes and has 'princess illness', so I wanted to help her clarify. Also, we are still friends now. (What is the reason to the break up?) I already explained, not going to talk about it anymore! I don't want to her to say I'm trying to get publicity again."

Miriam Yeung insists on promoting Love In The Buff

The 36th Hong Kong International Film Festival yesterday officially announced Miriam Yeung Chin Wa as its ambassador again. She and Shawn Yue Man Lok starred in the Pang Ho Cheung directed new film LOVE IN THE BUFF (CHUN GIU YU JI MING) will be the opening film and the closing film will be the Berlin Film Festival Best Cinematography Silver Bear Prize winner WHITE DEER PLAIN. Director Peter Chan Ho Sun will be this year's Filmmaker in Focus.

Chin Wa, Ah Lok and Pang Ho Cheung yesterday attended the press conference in Tsim Sha Tsui. Peter Lam Kin Ngok and Hong Kong International Film Festival Association chair Wong Ying Wai also attended.

Chin Wa revealed that she was over six months pregnant and so far she has gained 16 to 17 pounds. Her husband Real Ting Chi Ko was no longer as "follow around hubby" but now she started to have sciatic nerve pain. Thus she had difficulty going out with friends. After attending tomorrow's event, the film opening ceremony and LOVE IN THE BUFF premiere she will officially rest. Since the LOVE production was very tough, she will persist no matter what.

Chin Wa said that lately she has been watching movies at home. She did not have any taboo even with the kiss scene in LOVE IN THE BUFF because her child in the future will know her mother was an actor. Chin Wa said, "At most I would cover my legs if anything. I am even watching the television series THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH (ON CALL 36 SIU SI) and am reminded of when I was a nurse. It's pretty realistic, Ma Kwok Ming performs decently. Right now I am like a canary! (Have you pretend to roll around in bed?) I don't sleep well, on the left I crush my heart and on the right my hip hurts. The company doesn't dare to arrange too much work for me out of fear that I would doze off."

Lok Jai joked that promoting with Chin Wa was rather stressful because he was very worried that she would constantly go to the bathroom, vomit from the pregnancy or even giving birth on the spot. Has Mr. Ting asked him to take care of her more? Lok Jai said that went without saying. He and the director would take care of her. Seeing Chin Wa overflowing with happiness, has he been tempting to start his own family?

Lok Jai said, "No, who can be as happy as she is. I really want her to spare me some. She doesn't need peach blossom, every time you mention I sigh. When you use up all the peach blossom you wither. (Have you hidden any and not talk about it?) I haven't, I am thirty something, if I have I would talk about it." Lok Jai also said that he has not considered girls of other nationalities. He was very nervous about his mother communicating with her, so he would like to find someone who spoke the same language. If they had nothing to talk about it would be quite a bother, as he in the future would like to live with his family.

“Fierce Tigress” Tavia Yeung Tries to Control Him Law?

Since breaking up with debt-straddled former boyfriend, Nam Wai Kit (???) in 2007, Tavia Yeung’s (??) time was occupied by filming. The emergence of Him Law (???) may have moistened her life, sparking her desires! According to a witness, Him Law often visited her apartment in the middle of the night. Despite wearing a cap, his sneaky demeanor made his presence even more prominent!

Him’s close friend revealed to the press, “Tavia kept a close eye on Him, calling him at least 10 times each day! Sometimes if he cannot hear the phone right or has no time to answer, she will repeatedly call until he picks up the line. Tavia is not as stupid as Theresa Fu (??); she will act concerned or worried about him, not allowing him the opportunity to play.”

Him’s friend continued, “Aside from calling frequently, Tavia requested that Him report back at the apartment each night. One time, Tavia went home at 3 AM after work and still called, requesting Him to to especially travel from Tai Po Chung to see her! Him said that he has never felt [a woman] cling so close before while dating!”

The inside source continued, “Allegedly, Him pleaded his management company for help earlier, requesting to travel for work while trying to escape from Tavia’s clutches. As a result, Him went to Dubai last month to shoot a travel special. Him avoided her for more than one week until Valentine’s Day, upon which he had recharged his batteries to comfort his girlfriend in Hong Kong! Earlier, Tavia repeatedly questioned whether there were female companions on the trip. Of course, Him said there were none, to avoid further questions. Sometimes, Tavia Yeung really asks too many questions. How will a man not feel bothered?”

Him Law possessed a violent past. It may be advisable for Tavia to realize that “exerting greater pressure may result in greater resistance.” If not desiring the shuffling of hands and feet such as Theresa Fu’s case, it was best to not control too much.

Tavia Yeung: 'Year of the Carnivore' is true

Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen, Moses Chan, Evergreen Mak, and George Lam attended the Japan Home Centre Spring dinner event last night. Aside from singing and playing games, the artists went off the stage to shake hands with audience. Among the group, George was the most popular, where the audience surrounded him to take pictures. Moses was also surrounded by a group of female fans. A very lively atmosphere.

Recently, Tavia has been surrounded by gossips. First it was rumors that she got plastic surgery and then it was reported that rumored boyfriend Him Law said in front of his friends that she's upright the 'year of the carnivore' (chinese = 'fierce tiger'). Regarding the reports, Tavia expressed she wasn't upset and even joked: "Just think of it as promotions! Because I'm a popular person! There is no need to clarify anything. Is it true? I'll have to ask Him Law first, but I don't think he'll say that. First, the 'fierce tiger' is true, I have to be real 'fierce' to earn more money. (It's about demanding for sex though?) I really don't believe he would say that, who really understands us that much!"

When speaking of their 'latest development'? Tavia expressed they are still good friends. Earlier, Him strongly supported that she didn't get plastic surgery done, Tavia said: "Many people support me, not just him. I saw the report that he said he's supporting me so much that his back is aching. I'll give him some ointment for his back in return! (Isn't it more special tha he's supporting you?) Any guy who supports me, I will love!"

As for Fala and Evergreen, they were quite interactive with the audience. Fala asked if she's dressed especially conservative due to this? She said: "A little sexy! It's see through still. (Are you afraid of perverts?) Nope, most important is the good atmosphere." Evergreen reveals he and Eric Tsang went to Japan for promotions earlier, and had been eating day and night. Over the Lunar New Year, he gained over 20 pounds, fortunately Eric gave him two bags of slimming pills. Evergreen said: "I'm actively trying to lose weight! I had a crab feast in Japan too with Timmy Hung and Chin Kar Lok. We were going out to eat pulled noodles every night, extremely full every night!"

Dumped by Tavia Yeung, Lai Lok Yi Dates Busty Heiress

“Actress Guardian Angel” (?????) 31-year-old, Lai Lok Yi, was able to win over Theresa Fu (??)?Emme Wong (???)?Mandy Cho (???) and Toby Chan (???) in the past despite his low monthly salary of $20,000 HKD. Last year, Lai Lok Yi even brought first-line TVB fadan, Tavia Yeung (??), into his hands, frequenting her house for meals and even sharing her parking space.

However, Lok Yi and Tavia’s relationship may not have lasted long. After filming The Hippocratic Crush "On Call 36??", Tavia and muscular co-star, Him Law (???), allegedly ignited romantic sparks. Tavia and Him Law were spotted on going out together on several occasions. As a result, Tavia broke off from Lok Yi.

Lai Lok Yi’s New Girlfriend, Nicole Li

It took Lok Yi less than six months to settle down his hurt feelings, before successfully pursuing busty heiress and 2007 Miss Hong Kong participant, Nicole Li (???). Lok Yi was even spotted driving Nicole’s car as if it were his own vehicle! When caught by reporters in the car, the pair appeared embarrassed, with Nicole smiling awkwardly!

It was understood that after the 2007 Miss Hong Kong Pageant ended, Nicole continued to remain in contact with Second Runner-up, Loretta Chow (???), who introduced her to Lai Lok Yi. Shortly afterward, Nicole’s heart was won over by the 6-feet-1-inch handsome and highly attentive, Lok Yi.

An insider revealed, “Lai Lok Yi always spoke softly to Nicole and took into account her feelings in every matter. Nicole’s heart has been completely won over. He was an expert in letting Nicole pay the bills. Earlier, when Lok Yi complained that he was having car trouble, Nicole let him drive her Mercedes-Benz. She gave him many gifts, such as clothes and even paid for his living expenses!”

Allegedly, Nicole gave up living in her family luxury house, moving into Lok Yi’s house in Sai Kung instead. Earlier in December, Nicole was spotted spending the night at Lok Yi’s house. In the morning, Lok Yi and Nicole drove their cars separately one after the other exiting Lok Yi’s residence. Furthermore, Nicole’s Mercedes-Benz car was spotted parked in front of Lok Yi’s residence for the entire day on one occasion.

The Li Family’s Incredible Wealth

Nicole Li came from a wealthy background, in which her parents owned a beauty corporation, with numerous subsidiaries, including 5 “Dr. Renew” skincare clinics, as well as 16 other beauty centers. The Li family’s assets were valued over $100 million HKD. One of the beauty centers was managed by Nicole, who assumed the title of General Manager for her family beauty corporation. The Li family resided in a $40 million HKD $3,395 square feet luxury home in Ho Man Tin.
