Yesterday Edwin Siu attended a Lexus event with Sharon Chan. It was said Priscilla Wong had been strongly pursuing him. Edwin described Priscilla as a "transsexual". He joked: "It feels just like Nick Cheung and the transsexual Poyd in the film Drug Wars. Our relationship only happens in the series. Outside of the series, we are good brothers." Edwin praised Priscilla's diligence in acting, she take on practically all of the action scenes herself. He admires her professionalism: "If she wasn't popular, then there won't be news about her. (Did she cry?) No, she's a strong girl."

Sharon disclosed it was her 35th birthday, she celebrated with her friends and boyfriend. Asked whether her boyfriend took the opportunity to propose to her on her birthday? She said: "We don't talk about this topic. (Are you already married?) No. When I do get married, I will definitely let you all know." She expressed she received a ring as a birthday gift from her boyfriend. Asked if she's longing for a proposal diamond ring? She said: "I really don't want one.

Yesterday Aimee Chan, Ruco Chan, Tony Hung, Lin Xiawei and Vivian Yeo attended the promotional event for TVB new series Outbound Love premiering on Monday. Aimee expressed to her, this series was very meaningful to her because from filming until now, it feels like she had her second baby. "Although at the time I didn't know I was pregnant when I was in Malaysia, I found out after I finished filming the series. It was pretty difficult because I only had 2-3 hours of sleep each day, I had the flu and I wasn't used to eating spicy foods, it was so 'hot air'."

It was said the crew in Malaysia kindly gave Aimee several bowls of herbal tea, so she can reduce the 'hot air'. Aimee directly said: "Yes, I thought it was great. Shows my son is a tough baby, he's already that tough at a young age, when he grows up he can endure through anything."

Ruco regards this series as one of his representative works and has confidence in the TV ratings. He said: "I've discussed this with Tony Hung, if the series gets 30 points, he will demonstrate a cold swim and I will stop driving in my personal time." When speaking of TVB's ratings had only been average lady, Ruco felt this is the modification stage. If the ratings aren't good, then that means there room for improvement. Because of Outbound Love, Ruco Chan has been dubbed the "Penang Prince". He claimed he got that reputation because of his dark skin. "I'm in trouble now that I'm filming The Great Pharmacist because the producer wanted me to be a little more pale, so I've borrowed my mother's skincare products to use." Ruco has roots in Malaysia, he expressed earlier when he went back to Malaysia to visit relatives, they told him to start a business there. Ruco said: "But I will stay in Hong Kong to film more good productions first."

This will be Tony Hung's debut TV series and he has already taken Toby Chan's first on-screen kiss and given his first to Lin Xiawei. Tony expressed he was cautious and unnatural: "It did not feel like in the past where I could just freely kiss a girlfriend at the corner of the street because I wasn't really familiar with the girls when we were filming the kiss scenes. (After the kisses, more familiar?) After we NGed several times, it got more comfortable. (Report it to your girlfriend?) I've been single for two years, I don't have a girlfriend now." Asked if there were love sparks after the kisses? He thought for a moment before answering: "I really didn't feel anything, I really have to consider my sexual orientation."

Yesterday afternoon, Kenneth Ma attended a Lunar New Year event. His New Year resolution is to get more 'peach blossoms', he said: "The entertainment circle relies on people relations. Of course I hope more audience will support me. (Love life?) Leave it to fate. I've never tried to force it. (Encountered a good girl yet?) Actually I've met many, but it just haven't been anything romantic. There are many good girls in TVB, you can ask me who is good and I will say they are good." Asked whether any of them are right for him? He said he didn't have much time to get to know them more and also he's not someone who can easily find a girlfriend love at first sight.

Known as the TVB 'seun poon', Kenneth laughed and said there are many female 'seun poons' in TVB as well. Asked whether rumored girlfriend Charmaine Sheh is a seun poon? He said: "Of course Charmaine is. She's very professional, but we were only filming for a few days and were really busy, didn't have time to get to know her more. I hope we could collaborate more in the future." Kenneth frankly expressed he hopes to collaborate with different female artists. "There is no reason to keep pairing up with one or two actresses. I'm afraid the audience might get bored. (Bored of Tavia Yeung?) No, but I'm just afraid the audience will be. I've been only paired with Tavia or Selena Li recently. (Who do you want to pair up with?) Linda Chung or Eliza Sam, I haven't been paired with them before. I just want to pair with everyone I haven't collaborated with before. In acting, we must give the audience something refreshing from time to time." When speaking of the rumor he had with Tracy Chu, will he be afraid of more rumors if they collaborated again? He said: "There could be rumors with whoever I collaborate with. I have never been afraid of rumors. (Fear rumors may stop you from finding true love?) I haven't thought about this before. (The rumors are true?) If they are true, then how could it be concealed from you all? I won't be afraid to collaborate with someone just because of rumors. I am open to collaborating with all female artists."

Linda Chung attended The Voice 60s evening banquet and appeared dressed in a costumes from the 60s to fit with the theme. She revealed the costume she had on was the same costume she used when she filmed Heavenly In-Laws. "I'm so happy, I was 20 back then and after so many years, I can still fit into this dress. No matter how busy I am, I still take the time to do facial. I'm older now, so I really have to maintain myself." Asked if she needs to get a boob job too? Linda laughed: "No need. I'm pretty confident and my size is pretty good. (Might get out of shape after having a baby?) This is a gift from God, the baby comes first. (When do you plan to have children?) The best is before age 35. (Have you discussed this with anyone?) No, but I won't have one until after marriage. I'm currently busy with my work."

When speaking of Linda publicly supporting Philip Ng's new film. Does she also plan to publicize her relationship with Philip? Linda said: "Even if its friends, I will support them whether they have a concert or a new film out. I know its been really tiring for him (Philip) in filming, I hope to watch the film another time with him. (When he gets an award, will you two get married?) When the timing is right, I'll get married. Work is my priority now."

I couldn't believe myself as someone who only has a 3 minute interest on anything could stage on this stage for 15 years. Thank you to all my colleagues, fans and family for being persistent with me."

When the pair accepted their award, Joey said: "Thank you (Hubert) for writing this song for me. No, I mean for writing this duet because both you and I are Gemini, so this song is for us." Hubert accidentally said something wrong in his acceptance speech: "As I recall, this song had already got an award last season." Joey was shocked and asked: "You mean, you already got this award last year?" Joey couldn't hold in her laughter. Hubert was a little confused: "I'm not sure either."

The Hong Kong Performing Artist Guild originally held an election for a new president to replace the already resigned Eric Tsang Chi Wai last week, but because Anthony Wong Chau Sun brought a group of artist to join the Guild and vote instantly Executive Secretary Astrid Chan Chi Ching turned them away and caused a storm; after a week of interactive exchanges the tension has eased. Chau Sun said that he and Chan Chi Ching were not sworn enemies. Yesterday the Guild also issued a statement. "THE PAG meeting that was originally scheduled for the 21st has already applied for postponement to February 14 with its lawyers and members. Because of the required 21 work days after the adjournment to inform members and the New Spring holiday, the meeting has been delayed to February 14. For assistance please contact the Guild Secretary office." However, yesterday reportedly some existing members were concerned that Chau Sun might not focus on fighting for benefits for older actors and thus planned to vote for Maria Cordero; if Fat Ma runs, Chau Sun would not have an easy campaign.

Chau Sun said that he did not receive any official notice about the election day postponement, he only heard about it. He said that he would only do his best and leave it to fate, as he would take the initiative to run again. He said, "The fact is I really haven't had any unpleasant experience, I hope to welcome the Year of the Horse in harmony. Very soon the dust will settle on everything soon." Since no one notified him, would he feel disrespected? Chau Sun said that was no longer important, he only had to answer to the dozen or so members.

Anthony Wong Chau Sun lately has been busy with the PAG incident, but he still was focused on his new film production. This time he worked with Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin. He even attentively taught her acting. Two nights ago Chau Sun, Ah Sa and Wong Yau Nam worked in a Sai Wan Ho cafe. In the scene Yau Nam looked inside the cafe with a bucket of Chupa Chups from the tram tracks, perhaps waiting for Ah Sa. Ah Sa was mopping. Maybe normally Ah Sa rarely did chores, her mopping did not meet the director's requirement as she had several bad takes. Originally having a pineapple bun, Chau Sun volunteered to instruct Ah Sa how to mop the floor. After that the director accepted the take. Ah Sa with Chau Sun as her co-star was much more at ease. On and off camera they both were very friendly, so the production has been very smooth.

Although the shoot took place late at night, it still attracted many onlookers. They even praised Chau Sun for being even taller and cooler in person.

Chow Yun Fat yesterday with Donnie Yen Chi Tan and Aaron Kwok Fu Sing gathered in Beijing to attend the Lunar New Year film THE MONKEY KING (SAI YAU GEI ji DAI LAU TIN GUNG) press conference. Jade Emperor Chow Yun Fat first crowned Yen Chi Tan "the Strongest in the Universe Pretty Monkey King" but soon after Fat Gor said that he hoped Yen Chi Tan's temper would be a little better after making this film; Yen Chi Tan returned the favor on the stage and said that due to Fat Gor's high salary, he could not miss a single moment of the production; Sing Sing smoothed things out and said that he understood that Yen Chi Tan was working multiple jobs. Seemingly on and off cameras the superstars were competing in acting. Were they truly made or were they promoting?

Yesterday three superstars Chow Yun Fat, Yen Chi Tan and Kwok Fu Sing gathered in Beijing with Joe Chen Chiao-En, Peter Ho Yun Tung, Zhang Zilin and others for the film THE MONKEY KING's press conference and global premiere. The film will officially open on Lunar New Year's Day. At the press conference, Chow Yun Fat became the focus. He said that everyone used to say Yen Chi Tan was the strongest in the universe, after watching this film they would know the best fighter was Sun Wukong. With the strongest 3D special effects, he was the "strongest in the universe Pretty Monkey King". However, Chow Yun Fat added that he hoped Yen Chi Tan's temper would be better after making this film. When Yen Chi Tan spoke, he replied with a smile, "I am very honored to be able to work with Fat Gor and Sing Sing, this is a dream team. Also because of Fat Gor's high salary, he can't miss a single moment. Fat Gor has to look cool when he appears."

When some Mainland actor mistakenly described the film as a domestically produced 3D film, Fat Gor humorously said, "An U.S. company did the post production for this film, it isn't a domestic film." Then when Fat Gor talked about his character, he said that his impression of the Jade Emperor was just sitting, eating fruits while enjoying beauties dance. Only he had to act with a piece of cloth and played action star. Thus he could only get himself drunk to be able to imagine beauties dancing around him.

As Fat Gor got on a row, he even set up action director Chi Tan and revealed that he had a bad temper. "Chi Tan's special effect make up took several hours, after that he had to fight. When he didn't have to fight he had to tell others who to fight on the set. Sometimes he would not be able to control his temper. This time he truly was abused enough. Later he rested and his temper would gradually improve." Chi Tan after hearing could not help but laugh, then struck back and said, "Since you are so humorous, I have a few replies for you. You are very expensive, so I cherish every shot of you very much especially with Fat Soh next to
me. I no longer couldn't have any mistake from the crew but Fat Gor also had to look cool when he appeared!" Afraid that Chi Tan would continue to share, Fat Gor interrupted Chi Tan with the reason of being out of time and changed the subject. He said that Chi Tan's Sun Wukong was truly the strongest in the universe. Was Fat Gor afraid of making Chi Tan mad? He said, "What is there to be afraid of? I don't have to coax him, he is much better now."

Chi Tan said about revealing Fat Gor's high salary, "It's not a money problem, it's not easy to make him move. (He said that your temper was bad?) He's joking, would you rather he yell at himself! (Are you too demanding?) I have always been." Sing Sing said that he would like to work with him on a martial art dance film. Chi Tan immediately showed off his twist, which surprised Sing Sing who also said that he could consider it.

Kwok Fu Sing then tried to smooth things over. He understood that Yen Chi Tan had many jobs on his hand. Since he was demanding on himself, sometimes he would be frustrated that the crew was unable to coordinate. He also had a lot to be concerned with, thus he would even more frustrated when time was spent on the lack of coordination. However he too hoped that Yen Chi Tan would be able to watch his temper.

Later, Yen Chi Tan said that everyone was just joking around. Thus he would not be upset with what Fat Gor said. He said that often he would only be demanding on himself. He would sympathize mostly with actors. In addition Fat Gor and Sing Sing were used to making movies, they needed even less reminder before they were in character.

Playing Princess Iron Fan, Chen Chiao-En praised Kwok Fu Sing as the most handsome "Bull Demon King". Sing Sing even joked about making a prequel and a honeymoon scene with Chiao-En. "I really want to know how the Bull Demon King got Prince Iron Fan pregnant, then intimate scenes would be definite! I also want to know Bull Demon King does it!"

Speaking of Derek Yee Tung Sing blasting actors for lacking actor ethics, Sing Sing said, "This year I have to spend eight months on two movies, but I absolutely wouldn't shoot every two days. That would affect the film production process!"

A month after HKTV announced their venture into mobile television, arch nemesis TVB introduced their pay-to-watch internet service, GOTV, South China Morning Post reported.

On 14 January, TVB launched GOTV, a pay-to-watch internet service that allows subscriber to watch past dramas that the company produced since its establishment in 1967.

The launch was deemed as an attack towards Ricky Wong and HKTV, as the latter prepares for the July launch of its mobile TV service that renders viewers with various entertainment programmes and TV series produced by the company through internet-connected devices.

However, TVB General Manager, Cheong Shin Keong denied allegations that they stole Ricky Wong's idea, saying that the company has planned it for two years, though admitting that GOTV would be in indirect competition with HKTV.

He stressed "We are launching pay-to-watch services, not free TV. You may think that because of the timing, but the truth is that it is not."

With a subscription fee of HKD 59 a month (USD 7.61) or HKD 499 a year (USD 644.35), viewers will get to access to about 341 TVB dramas, which will be added gradually, via smart phones, tablets, or computers.

Meanwhile, Cheong revealed that TVB had already sent a letter to HKTV to request a meeting on the matter of the lease of their six transmitting stations, but had not received a reply.

Ivana Wong Yuen Chi yesterday promoted GOLDEN CHICKEN SSS (GUM GAI SSS). She admitted that she and "Figure King" Eric So Cheuk Hong had a lot of fun on dates. "We have been together for awhile, over 100 hours. We met at a friendly gathering." Some pointed out that she became the third party between Eric and Helen To Yu Fung. Wong Yuen Chi replied, "They haven't dated in a long time, he and I have also been single for awhile. We spent a lot of time together before we decided to date. When the report used 'third party became the legitimate one' to describe me, I am truly helpless. Luckily we have chemistry. Mommy knew that I was on a magazine cover and immediately told Auntie to buy it in support!"

Speaking of her boyfriend being disloyal, Wong Yuen Chi said, "I would respect and trust him. If I don't we can't possibly be together." Did her boyfriend give her a figure? Wong Yuen Chi said, "Do you think I would agree only after accepting two toys! Everyone likes art, we have common interests. We share music and designs." Is he the one that she would marry? "I have restrain, I can't publicly talk about that."

Michael Hui Koon Man yesterday attended an event. Speaking of the war of words between Anthony Wong Chau Sun and Astrid Chan Chi Ching over the PAG presidential election, as the PAG permanent honorary president he said, "Only members can elect a president. As for whether instantly admitted members can run instantly, I am not certain. At first membership application required three film credits. When the PAG lacks people, it needs time to confirm certain things. Chau Sun of course meets the criteria, but the process it still needs to be done this way." He said that it was just a problem with the process.

Speaking of Chau Sun and others had to fill out their forms next to a garbage can, Hui Koon Man said, "That's unreasonable, very strange." He felt that Chau Sun was qualified to be the president. Chau Sun's artist performance abilities were great, he was a leader who could lead the new generation and he also had draw. Hui Koon Man was not worried that if Chau Sun became the president the PAG would become more political. "He is very smart, he wouldn't do that. If I vote, I would vote for Chau Sun."

Hui Koon Man denied being opinionated during the DELETE (DELETE OI YUN) production and becoming at odds with director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum). He said, "We just had dinner the other day and had a great time. They respect me so much, it's hard to have a problem even if I wanted to."

Derek Yee Tung Sing two days ago stated online that from now on he would not use "rolling schedule" actors but did not name who it was. Yee Tung Sing wrote, "I hereby openly announce, from now on I will not use any rolling schedule actors. Actors with real actor ethics would not roll the schedule to make another film, to tour, to perform shows, to make commercials, to do anything distracting! I won't be unfair to you either, like with where I live, what I eat at work, I guarantee it is the same as yours. I absolutely will not permit your treatment to be worse, since I have said it you can't ask for more than me."

Yee Tung Sing also said, "Also, when I make movies I can't get tired. Early shift -- from sunrise to sunset, night shift --- from sunset to sunrise. My contract doesn't have any terms like starting from the hotel......do you think you are a taxi? Conditions like when you get off work......I haven't stopped yet where are you going? In addition, try to minimize assistants and entourage, don't occupy space on the set. You can't bring your own make up and hair stylists, don't play with your phone on the set, keep quiet, focus, concentrate, etc; I support 'people have the right to choose' 100%, you really don't need me, and I don't have to have you!"

Yee Tung Sing listed his demands for professional actors, perhaps he has seen the common phenomenon among current actors and could not hold back any longer. Any actor who will work with Yee Tung Sing in the future have to watch out!

Silent Majority for Hong Kong in order to raise operation funding selected Raymond Wong Pak Ming's Lunar New Year film HELLO BABIES (LUK FUK HEI SI) for one fund raising show on January 28. Yesterday a press conference was held, Wong Pak Ming attended in appreciation. Because the show was fully booked, Silent Majority that opposed to Occupy central and supported the Hong Kong electoral reform consultation thus raised HK$800,000. Show business has never interfered with politics, but Wong Pak Ming was not worried that viewers would reject HELLO. "Film is film. HELLO is joyous and suitable for the whole family."

Wong Pak Ming felt that Occupy Central was a big problem. "Central is Hong Kong's financial center, Hong Kong's heart like a human heart. If you aren't pretty you can get cosmetic surgery, breast enlargement, enema, but you can't mess with the heart. If you do you might drop dad, without any benefit to Hong Kong. As for general election it is something that everyone should do, but it has to be peaceful, harmonious, reasonable, logical and legal."

Best Host Luisa Lai Chi San designed sunglasses for the local brand PEOPLE by PEOPLE. Yesterday the brand held a press conference and Chi San invited many television station host friends.

Lai Chi San also revealed her new assignment. "In February I will begin hosting a talk program with (Anthony) Wong Chau Sun. Each episode will not have any content restriction and guests will be industry insiders. Chau Sun is famous for asking pointed questions, he can ask questions that I have never dared to ask. If he and the guest have an argument, I am responsible for smoothing things over and balance the relationship of both sides." The program's guest list criteria first has to be daring to speak, for now Anita Yuen Wing Yi, Charmaine Sheh Si Man and Josie Ho Chiu Yi have been confirmed. Would she invite Astrid Chan Chi Ching who has been rumored to be at odds with Chau Sun to the program? Chi San said that she was under consideration. "A great suggestion! However I worry that when the program airs at the end of February, the incident will already have lost its steam. Actually they only had different ways of handling the matter, their goal was for the good of the PAG!"

Two days ago at the Sir Run Run Shaw memorial event, some claimed that Chau Sun and Chi Ching had zero exchange and seemed that nothing was settled. Yesterday Chau Sun suddenly changed his tune online. "Chi Ching and I aren't deadly enemies. It was about the matter and not the people before, now it has come to an end."
