Divorce Rumors Circulate for Kenix Kwok and Frankie Lam


After dating for 9 years, Kenix Kwok Ho Yin and Frankie Lam Man Lung married in 2005. Since then, numerous rumors have circulated that both were involved in extra-marital affairs with various actresses and actors. Earlier in May 2009, various clips of telephone recordings circulated. The voices of the speakers resembled Frankie and Kenix and the man in the conversations admitted he had cheated on his wife with Mainland actress, Vicki Dung.

Although Kenix and Frankie held a press conference and claimed that their relationship was stable, this failed to curb divorce rumors which have escalated recently.

In a tabloid magazine published this week, Frankie allegedly asked for a divorce on several occasions. However, he owed Kenix more than one million in debt. Since Kenix demanded Frankie to pay her back first, Frankie did not dare to go through with a divorce.

Reporters contacted Kenix’s manager, Kim, to confirm the rumors. Kim said that Kenix did not intend to respond to the recent rumors. As for Frankie, he did not return any of the press’ calls.

Earlier Elanne Kong exposed that she had a male artist pursuer who once collaborated with her and this had become one of the main topics in the entertainment circle. People suspect the artists could be Pakkho Chau or Ron Ng. The person who is most suspcious is Ron Ng because he helped Elanne write her new book. In order to kill off all the suspicions, he strongly stomped on Elanne saying she was "not pretty" and "not cute".

Will be releasing her new "Little Princess" book on July 22nd, Elanne Kong used her entertainment circle connections and invited Michael Tse, Michael Miu and rumored boyfriend Ron Ng to help her out in writing it.

Earlier Elanne exposed that there was a male artist who she once collaborated that was strongly pursuing her, coincidentally Ron Ng was the suspected pursuer. To help a friend and to kill off the suspicions, Ron stressed that he is not Elanne's "Lucky Prince" and the two would often refer each other as "brothers". He also bounced one statement to Elanne: "Among all the girls I've seen, Elanne Kong is one of the most not pretty, not cute and not that hard working girls. But she relies on herself to survive in the industry and also she does have talent as a newcomer."

Although Ron did not spare Elanne a chance, Ron and Elanne's relationship is definitely very good. He expressed that during the time when they were filming, he would often play with her: "One time we were using rattan whips to "fit" each other and we were playing all the way into the costume room!"

Michael Miu praises Elanne that she is made of wood, and refers her as his daughter: "This daughter because of her workload, she is often not by her "dad's" side.... but daughter would call back from time to time and would comfort me. I know that she has confidence in me, so writing a section in the book, of course Dad will help you out!"

TVB Star MegaLive concert; Enabled TVB Stars to interact to their max (United Daily)

(Kuala Lumpur, 陈莉贞 reporting) Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu brought their rumoured love up to stage! Earlier on, there were again reports by the Hong Kong media which pointed out that Bosco and Myolie had broken up, but during the previous day's "TVB Star MegaLive" concert, two of them sweetly held hands while performing a duet "Thankful for Meeting You", this segment of the concert was also the segment which fans went the most excited and most high out of all the segments that night; The most coincidental thing is that Myolie chose "我要的幸福 (direct translation: The Happiness I want)" for her solo performance, also wanted to express that the feeling and attitude of the heart in the song was a portrayal of her current feeling and current situation in her life, apparently being more forthright about her love life!

Bosco Wong filled with vigor

"TVB Star MegaLive" is proposed by Magnum, organised by TVB and held at Kuala Lumpur Genting "Arena of Stars". Stars that participated that day were singers Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu, Ron Ng from Hong Kong. Hosts of the concert were Vivien Yeo, 金刚 (King Kong) from Hong Kong. Together with local singers 颜莞倩、陈势安、曾国珲, with a group of JI young males and young females, interacting the audience to the max and unleashing unlimited charm of the stars.

The concert started off with a duet by Vivien Yeo and King Kong, sweetly singing "小酒窝 (direct translation: Small Dimple" by JJ Lin and Charlene Choi). Who would have guessed King Kong pretended that he wanted to puke, and even mischievously said that he felt like Vivien Yeo was like his aunt when they were performing the duet, and even said that she looked like Kuala Lumpur's local speciality, seafood. This caused Vivien Yeo to not know whether to laugh or to cry. Up next was Bosco with his hip-hop dance. With all his powerful dance moves, Bosco's vigorous "Hey Boy" attracted screams from his fans, even though he only had one time dress rehearsal, Bosco performed very well, being in beat with the rhythm and proficient, displaying more and more of his personal dance charisma.

Myolie displayed good woman's physique

In order to let the fans have closer interaction, Bosco, Myolie and Ron all sticked closer to the audience as they performed, such as Bosco going off the stage to shake hands with the audience, as well as Myolie making her entrance among the crowd of audience, causing the fans to be pleasantly surprised. Myolie expressed that this is her 10th year ever since she first joined this profession and she felt that she was very fortunate because many good opportunities "came knocking on her door" constantly these 10 years. Speaking about it for a while, she suddenly asked the audience: "Are you all feeling hot? I am feeling very hot ah." Immediately she took off her coat and the fans also started screaming in anticipation. After taking off her coat, Myolie displayed her slender and fine posture on stage, causing fans to admire and be envious, an eye-opener. She even entice her fans, saying: "How? Okay ma? Can ma? Love me ma?" The fans started screaming louder and continuously. And for the sake of this time's performance, Myolie had the thought and especially bought an electric piano and sang the drama "War and Destiny"'s theme song "Fortunately" while playing the piano. Even though there was a small mistake halfway, she still received much cheers from her fans. Fans responded enthusiastically and Myolie also shouted out loudly "It is like my own concert!" Following, she sang a duet with Bosco. After finish singing, Bosco was still holding her hands, Myolie immediately hilariously said: "Why don't you let go of my hands? Want to take advantage of me is it? 哼!" The other party, Bosco, was embarrassed and immediately let go of her hands and openly flirt with Myolie. In order to express the friendship between the three of them, when the concert was going to end, Bosco, Myolie and Ron sang "朋友 (Friends)" together, however, maybe it was due to them not being very familiar with the song that when the music started they were abit off beat and even had to look the the paper; However, from the uncoordinated start to the coordinated end of the song, it can be considered a satisfactory closure for this concert.

Already numb to the break up rumours

In contradiction to this time's break up rumours, two of you (Bosco and Myolie) sweetly performed a duet yet again while holding hands, does it mean that you all got back together again? "These rumours have circulated many times already, at one moment say that we have broken up, yet at another moment say that we have reconciled again, repeating and repeating, I'm already used to all these and with regards to all these reports I already have No Feel!" Asked if Bosco felt awkward holding hands while singing the duet? He laughed "We(Myolie and Bosco) have already sang together so many times in Hong Kong and China, won't feel awkward, on the contrary it is the first time singing together Malaysia, but we already can perform well together, therefore would not have this kind of feeling. This kind of song is indeed the very sweet kinds, therefore must bring out this kind of feeling when performing the duet."

Myolie Wu: 10 years to release her solo album

Rumours are everywhere, regarding the break up rumours, Myolie pointed out that all these news are just made up by the reporters themselves and therefore she would not pay attention to them as she feels that all these are just media gossips. As for her duet with Bosco, she expressed that they have not perform a duet for a long time already and she knows that the Malaysia fans like them together as an on-screen couple, therefore when she heard the audience's enthusiastic and happy response, she also felt happy. With respect to that, does it mean that if the fans hope that two of you will get together, you all will successfully continue to date sweetly? "If there is a drama in the future where we are a couple, then we are together lor, but recently my dramas are more with Kevin Cheng and Wong Hei." She revealed that she will be going over to Mainland to film at the end of July and as for her solo album, it would be released in October. Asked her if she have any intention of fighting for this year's Female Singer Award at the prize giving ceremony? She said" Last year I was still a newcomer and did not have very strong opponents and perhaps that's why it was easier for me to win an award. But now I would not be able to be classified under the newcomer group, my opponents are Joey Yung, Denise Ho etc., and being new to this "singing circle", it is enough as long as there are people who take note of my songs!"

The reporter asked Kenix's manager Kim to clarify that. Kim said Kenix has no plan to clarify the rumors.

Frankie spoke to a reporter on the phone yesterday, denying about the divorce allegation "They reported us getting divorced and sleep in separate room. My servant doesn't even know about it, how does the reporters find out?? They said I owed her over one million dollars, how come I don't even have one million dollars? If I have over one million, anything that is over that amount, I would ask the person who wrote that report to swallow the money!"

Sammul Chan- A Fan of Gui Lunmei


Although Sammul Chan Kin Fung has acted as a Master of Ceremonies on numerous occasions throughout his career, it should not be a great source of pressure for him to host an event. Several days ago, Sammul acted as the MC for an event celebrating women’s success in Shanghai. Since the presentation was entirely in Mandarin and English, which were not Sammul’s native languages, he was very nervous. Fortunately, he maintained a fine standard. Hosting solely in Mandarin and English, this was a major breakthrough for Sammul.

In an interlude, Sammul mentioned that he will look towards Gui Lunmei as an inspiration in selecting his future girlfriend. Coincidentally, Gui Lunmei happened to be one of the award recipients that night. When she learned that Sammul was her admirer, she volunteered to take a photograph with him. Sammul was flattered and felt like a fan meeting his idol. Afterwards, he spoke highly of Gui Lunmei’s easy-going nature.

10 Years In The Industry, Myolie Wu Has Many Development Plans


Borrowing Chai Kau's golden line, "How many ten years is there in a life time?", and especially during the 20-30 age phase, it's the golden period of 10 years where many people come out of school and step into the society, and from an immature mindset to defining their own life goals clearly. Myolie Wu, who's approaching 30 soon, looks back at her 10-year development in the entertainment industry. She felt fortunate that while she got to act, she also had the chance to rush onto the last train to enter the music industry. She has already set her targets for the next 10 years. Other than hoping to develop further into both TV and singing, she also wants to become a mother before 40 years old. MSN celebrated its 10th year anniversary for breaking into the Hong Kong market, and cooperated with TVB.COM to release a 'MyTVxMSN' free TV channel, allowing the netizens to re-watch TVB's TV programs while playing on MSN. To make this occasion grand, the organizer found Myolie Wu, whom coincidentally was in her 10th year of her career, to become the promotional ambassador for the 10-year-old anniversary. She joked that if it was not for MSN's reminder, she would not have realized on how time had flown past. "10 years seem to be like a long time, but I feel that I've just entered the industry not long ago. Because last year, I had the chance to venture into the music industry. It's very different from my acting job. No longer portraying other characters, but to be myself. Feels very refreshing."

Thinking back on the development in the entertainment industry for the past 10 years, Myolie felt very satisfied, "These 10 years, many people gave me opportunities. I can try doing a job which I like. Tried acting, releasing an album. I felt that I'm very fortunate. Last year when I released my first album, I clinched the newcomer award. It's already a recognition. I won't demand myself to become the 'Top' so quickly. Instead, I shall enjoy the process of my work, hoping that I will improve gradually, and be able to have another 10 years in my career."


When talking about the future 10 years, it's even the period for her to develop and expand her career. Her ambition is to break out of the Hong Kong market. "My past dramas have helped me to accumulate a little popularity in the South-east Asia region. Hopefully in the future, I can film more better dramas, and allow the overseas people to know me. Then I can attend stage performances outside of Hong Kong too. I've also planned to sing Mandarin songs soon, breaking into the Taiwan and Mainland markets. And also, have chances to work with music producers from other countries." Recently, she's busy with recording her new album, and frankly expressed that most of her time had been spent on singing. But looking at the long-term plan, she hopes to develop a balance between acting and singing.



Although Myolie said that she's currently busy with work and does not have the impulsiveness to datet and get married, she still hopes that 10 years later, she can get pregnant and have a child. "In the past, I didn't want to become a mother. Because need to sacrifice a lot. After having the child, it's like my life has stopped. Everything needs to be considered for the child. But when my nephew was born, I saw that although my elder sister gave out a lot, she also obtained a lot of happiness from the process. I feel that it's worth it. So I hope that I can become a mother. I believe that 40 years old won't be too late!" But she still felt that relationship matters cannot be rushed. She won't marry hurriedly just because she wants to become a mother. She even emphasized strongly that for the next 10 years, her career is still of the top priority.

He went on to say even only one person is watching, he would continue to work on it. Wong Hei disclosed that he always has his pictures secretly taken by the paparazzi, wearing only his pants anyway, and he can use those pictures. Talking about the rumor that he is not getting on well with Kevin, Wong Hei responded by saying although they are not friends, that doesn't mean they don't get on.

Joe Ma rumors, Raymond Lam defends his good brother; No choice, chooses Linda as Wife


TVB executive Virgina Lok had a birthday bash earlier, loveable Raymond Lam attended the party empty handed. On contrast, Joe Ma brought his own personal karaoke set to the party, putting effort in for Ms. Lok's party. There was a report that said Raymond's "sucking up" skills aren't as good as Joe Ma's. Raymond defends his good friend: "Nonsense, the whole world had a chance to do karaoke because of him."

Asked if Raymond felt that he "lost out"? He said: "It's not like that! Joe recently brought a new karaoke set, he asked me to go to his house to sing karaoke and said that he'll learn how to sing my songs. Because that night, the party didn't have karaoke, so he brought his one." Another report said that, that night Joe was the "important person" as he got to stand next to Ms. Lok during the group picture. Raymond defends Joe again: "Nonsense! Should not talk about people like that. We are very mature people, we are good brothers. That night he contributed money and efforts. (How are you going to help him clarify?) He is really not like that, we all just came together to take a good photo, the most important is the main character (Virgina Lok), we should all take pictures happily." He also said that he has not given any gifts to Ms. Lok yet, but he already has something planned. In an CRHK interview with Eileen Cha, Raymond was asked to choose his older sister, younger sister and wife among the three artists: Kay Tse, Tavia Yeung and Linda Chung. He had no choice but to choose her. He said Linda is like a little bird, she is probably quite considerate.



[Oriental Daily] Raymond Lam accepted an interview from CRHK, when the DJ Eileen Cha asked him to classify Kay Tse, Tavia Yeung and rumored girlfriend Linda Chung into older sister, younger sister and wife, Raymond praised that Kay knows how to take care of others, therefore he chooses her to be older sister as a result. As for wife, Raymond laughed in response and did not avoid suspicions, so he chose Linda. He said: "Her cooking skills, I don't know about, but Linda gives me the feeling that she is considerate, maybe because of her voice, it's comfortable, like a little bird!" He also said that Linda is like a tomboy: "Don't let her voice fool you." Speaking of Linda not attending his concert, Raymond knew already it: "She had to film. (So you told her not to come?) No, I didn't!"

Coming from a wealthy background, Raymond expressed that after he entered the industry, he has gotten more pressured. He said: "I can't lose!" He also said that his father hopes that he could continue with the family business, and he does not rule out of the future business. Raymond says: "My little brother already said that he won't be entering the industry and he likes business. So we'll let my brother look after it for now.

Wong He avoids gossips eccentrically


Usually with many gossips, Wong He was rumored to have not gotten along with Kevin Cheng last year during the filming of "Burning Flames 3", then TVB executive Virgina Lok scolded him for that and the angered Wong He terminated his contract with TVB. But it was also said that Wong Hei got TVB General Manager Stephen Chan's support and in the end he comes back to TVB. Wong He joining the Mr. Chan fanclub (Addicted "Wan" Team) recently has accepted a new series "Cross Boundary Exploration".

The other day at 5pm, Wong He, co-star Raymond Wong and last year's MCI Oceane Zhu were in Causeway Bay outside of SOGO filming. Because the location has many pedestrians, the filming process attracted many onlookers, some took out their cameras to take pictures. Not sure if Wong He is afraid of more gossips, but that day besides discussing about the script with Raymond Wong, they did not have any other conversations. But he fulfilled the requests for pictures with the onlookers. Afterwards, it was time for MCI Oceane to come out to do challenging action maneuvers, but she was able to achieve those maneuvers.

Linda Chung most enjoys working with Steven MaLinda Chung most enjoys working with Steven Ma




Steven Ma and Linda Chung were shooting new TVB ancient series "The Legend of Pu Songling" earlier. The scene consists of them climbing up a tree and meeting each other for the first time. They also play a bickering couple in the series. Whether it's on screen or off screen Steven praised Linda for being very hardworking and that he was very lucky to work with her. Linda stated that she most enjoys working with Steven Ma. Even rumored boyfriend Raymond Lam cannot be compared.

Actors envy him and complain

Steven disclosed that in recent years he often worked with Tavia Yeung, Linda Chung and Fala Chen. Many male actors have said that they envy him. He said "Many male actors come up to me to complain. They ask me why the company always pairs me up with such young Fa Dan's? Actually I feel extremely lucky. All 3 of them have great qualities. They are very hardworking and put in a lot of effort. It is worth appreciation. But what I find most funny is that whenever I work with Tavia, we start off as lovers in the series but never have a good result at the end. However when I work with Linda we always play a bickering couple".


Linda praises Steven being Hardworking and Positive

As to Steven Ma saying he feels very lucky to work with Linda, she laughed and said "Of course! He always gets to work with 3 of TVB's most beautiful and youngest Fa Dan's. I also enjoy working with Steven. Out of the TVB male actors he is one of the most hardworking. He is positive and professional". (Do you enjoy working with Steven or Raymond Lam?) "I enjoy working with Steven more because he can teach me a lot of things".

Tavia Yeung, An Ancient Beauty

After graduating from Acting Training Class, Tavia Yeung participated in a lot of series as a cameo. It was not until Find the Light that she started to have chances as the female lead actress. At that time, Tavia Yeung acted as the daughter of a rich family, who has to inhale opium due to her serious asthma illness. She was misunderstood and ignored by her fiancé (Bosco Wong) who did not know the story behind it. She was very aggrieved. After this series, her chances in acting have never stopped coming.

Other than having an outstanding acting skill, Tavia Yeung’s beauty is also hard to forget, especially in ancient costume, she is very elegant, full of ancient beauty. In Sweetness in the Salt which has been broadcasted not long ago, Tavia Yeung acted as a salt smuggler’s daughter Dao Sing Suet. Even though she only had simple costume and make up, she still appears beautiful and doesn’t lose to Halina Tam, 黃泆潼, and Chan Hoi Yee who wore glamorous beautiful costumes.

She reveals that most of the advertisements she films are usually very jumpy, very high physical activity, which can contribute to losing weight and say goodbye to the extra fat. It's no wonder she smiles and said: "I hope to do more advertisements! Then there's a fat wallet and you can look thin." Will she use Ah Gil's method and get Botox shots to lose weight on the arms? She laughed: "My life is practical, I should stick with counting on myself to do exercises. (If you wanted to do something, where will it be? The chest?) I actually quite enjoy a flat chest, looks more 'hot' with my clothes. Also when I'm dancing, theres no need to worry about too much meat up there, and audience's eyes won't go bad when watching me.

Charlene Choi refuses to use botox





Yesterday Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) appeared as the "Happy Angel" for a clothing brand catwalk show event. Not only did she teach the kids how to pose on the catwalk but also taught the foreign CEO Cantonese phrases. As to Gillian Chung using botox shots to make her legs thinner, Ah Sa said she had no intentions to do this herself. "Currently I don't have the urge to do this and don't think it's necessary". (Does that mean Gillian needs to have it done?) "She is a spokesperson and has always wanted to improve the shape of her legs. I did ask her whether it was it was painful but most important is that she is happy".

During the event, the host asked her which 3 things made her most happy this year? She said "The first thing is going to Denmark to shoot an advertisement. The second is using my own name to release an album". As for the third, she stated that it was meeting her idol Clive Owen at the Shanghai Film Festival earlier.

Scandalous Rumors Grow; Kenix Kwok Cheated on Frankie Lam Too?


“As for my husband’s [infidelity], I have already committed the same wrong-doing a lot of times in the past. Please don’t tell my husband about my relationship with XXX.” – The female voice was found to resemble Kenix Kwok, confiding in Wang T.C. Chang in a private phone recording.

****

Last Thursday, on May 28th, Sudden Weekly received a shocking voice recording which alluded to Frankie Lam Man Lung having an affair with mainland actress, Vicky Dong. In the voice recording, a male voice resembling Frankie’s admitted to the affair and threatened suicide, while pleading with Kenix’s mainland representative, Wang T.C. Chang, to help him in the matter. In the tape, Frankie alluded that Kenix was 3 months pregnant. In another sound clip, a voice resembling Kenix’s said that she will not forgive Frankie that easily.

In response to the tabloid rumors, Kenix and Frankie held a press conference on May 30th. The couple said that their marriage was stable and denied that Vicky Dong was a third party. Kenix and Frankie did not allow the media to ask any questions at the press conference. The couple did not say whether they were the speakers featured in the voice clips. They also did not address the infidelity rumors directly. Kenix clarified that T.C. Chang was not her mainland manager, who has also tried to blackmail the couple. The blackmail case has been filed with authorities in China and Hong Kong and T.C. Chang is currently under investigation.

In the CD-ROM that Sudden Weekly received last week, another scandalous conversation clip was included. A female voice resembling Kenix Kwok admitted that she had cheated on her husband [Frankie] with a well-known male singer, who was also married. Although rumors surfaced earlier that Frankie had cheated in their marriage, perhaps Kenix may have done the same!

K= Voice resembling Kenix Kwok
T= Voice resembling T.C. Chang

K: “My husband [Frankie Lam] realized his mistake was appalling, thus he can not even forgive himself now.”

T: “Ho Ying, you really should forgive this kind of thing [infidelity]. I hope you don’t mind me saying this. A mainland actor, Wong YY told me that you were involved with XXX [insert famous Hong Kong male singer’s name, who is also married]. You also cheated in the relationship and even earlier than Frankie!”

K: “I also questioned myself. I had also committed Man Lung’s mistake many times in the past. However, people are selfish. Please don’t tell Frankie about my relationship with XXX.”

T: “No, of course not, I didn’t.”

From the sound clips, it can be deduced that the woman resembling Kenix Kwok’s voice had cheated on her husband numerous times. However, she did not say when she was involved with the singer mentioned in the recording, or whether the affair was still on-going.

[Although Sudden Weekly did not print the full name of the male singer, the tabloid] hinted that he is a married man with a child [or children]. The man had a tumultuous career, but he is currently an extremely popular singer in the music industry.


Hacken Lee Refused to Comfort Kenix

Once romantically linked with Kenix, Hacken Lee was contacted by Sudden Weekly on June 1st, when Frankie’s infidelity rumors first broke. At the time Hacken said he will not console Kenix, "This is another couple’s business, it is inappropriate for me to comment.”

On June 2nd, Sudden Weekly waited outside Hacken’s home and wanted to ask him about the voice clip in which Kenix admitted she was involved with a Hong Kong singer. Hacken returned home in his agent’s car and upon spotting reporters, immediately rolled up the [car] curtains. The vehicle disappeared inside the building garage.

Aside from being friendly with Hacken, Kenix was also good friends with Alan Tam Wing Lun. In her personal blog, Kenix said that both Alan and herself were "food incinerators." Kenix posted a photo of herself, where she was seen eating a crab feast while wearing a bathrobe in a hotel room.

Married Male Singers Refuse to Comment

Kenix and Frankie have been married for 5 years, in which multiple infidelity rumors persisted over the years. Kenix often had rumors with her co-stars, such as Michael Tao Dai Yu, Joe Ma Tak Chung, and Chilam Cheung. One of the more recent rumors circulated in 2006, which alluded that Kenix had been secretly involved with Hacken Lee for the past 4 years.

Each time these type of rumors circulated, Kenix and Frankie would make a joint public appearance to deny them. Regarding Frankie’s affair with Vicky Dong, allegedly Frankie intended to admit the affair at the press conference. However, Kenix did not want Frankie to acknowledge the affair and thus the couple reportedly had an intensive argument the night before.

Regarding Kenix’s alleged involvement with a Hong Kong singer, reporters contacted Eason Chan. Eason’s manager, Chan Ka Ying, said, "There is no contact between Eason and Kenix. Eason only knows Kenix as a TVB actress. Also there is a big age difference between them; there are no feelings between them. It is just impossible!” Sudden Weekly also tried to contact Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, Alan Tam Wing Lun, Hacken Lee and Chilam Cheung without any success.

On May 14th, T.C. Wang wrote on her blog about a Hong Kong celebrity couple “L” and “K”, who appeared to have a good marriage. However, husband L flirted with many co-stars around him. While filming “Virtues of Harmony,” L was involved with actress C. During the filming of “Armed Reaction,” L flirted with actress A. However, L’s wife, K was also involved with other men. Before T.C. Wang could elaborate further on her blog site, she was interrogated by mainland authorities.

Radio Host Reveals Steamy Details between "K" and "C"

On June 2nd, an online radio program, 「 潮 頻 道 」 hosted by Lee Si Pei and Yan Suk Ming (a managed artist under T.C. Wang) revealed that while filming in China in 2007, a Hong Kong actress, “K” and actor “C” re-lit their old romantic sparks. C’s wife was pregnant at the time and requested time-off to accompany his wife during delivery. However, K requested C to remain in China to stay with her instead.

Below is an excerpt of Lee Si Pei and Yan Suk Ming’s program.

Lee= Lee Si Pei
Yan= Yan Suk Ming

Yan: Recently, a production crew member called me to share an interesting incident. While filming in 2007, K and C (well known actresses and actor) were cast as leads in the mainland series. C was K’s ex-lover.

Lee: Is C single or married?

Yan: C is married and his wife also works in the entertainment industry, who is very famous.

Lee: Where was this series filmed?

Yan: In mainland. The problem was that C’s wife was pregnant at the time and he had to return to Hong Kong to accompany the baby’s delivery. However, K insisted that C stay with her in mainland. Of course, C made the right decision and decided to return to Hong Kong to be with his wife. K over-estimated her own attraction and her emotions took a bad turn, impacting the entire crew. After filming ending, K and C only attended a press conference once and did not promote the series further.

Aside from revealing the gossip about C and K, Yan Suk Ming also advocated for T.C. Chang. "I am sure that T.C. Chang is not Kenix Kwok’s intermediary (indicating that T.C. Chang was Kenix’s manager instead). However, only the involved parties know all the details. Last year, China had the earthquake in Sichuan, hosted the Olympics and the Paralympics, thus a lot of the entertainment shows and projects were halted. However, my company [with the assistance of T.C. Chang] negotiated a project for Kenix Kwok. Another time, my company received a bid to have Kenix appear at a show. However the venue turned out to be a nightclub, which was different than the previously discussed details. To protect Kenix, our company did not let her perform. The sponsor got angry and hired some men to threaten us. T. C. Chang found some people to help settle the matter immediately. She is a responsible person and treats the artists very well. Therefore, the current [blackmail] allegations against her are very surprising."

A Case of Blackmail?

However, there were other reports that indicated T.C. Chang manipulated Frankie’s affair with Vicky Dong to blackmail Frankie and Kenix. Apparently, in early 2009, Kenix discovered that T.C. Chang was dishonest and decided to distance their relationship. Realizing Kenix’s intention, T.C. Chang told Frankie that she possessed photographs of Frankie and Vicky Dong together. Allegedly, T.C. Chang also recorded the various conversation clips to blackmail Frankie and Kenix. T.C. Chang demanded tens of thousands of dollars initially, with the total amount nearly a million (HKD). Finally, Frankie and Kenix decided to report the blackmail case and let the mainland and Hong Kong authorities investigate the matter.

Sudden Weekly tried to contact T. C. Chang on June 3rd, but her calls have been disabled. Also Frankie and Kenix’s phone numbers were directly routed to their voice mail.

Frankie’s admission in the conversation clips that he had an affair with Vicky Dong sparked a frenzied discussion on many online forums. Many netizens scolded Frankie and felt sorry for Kenix. There were others that felt it was inappropriate for outside parties to comment on Frankie and Kenix’s marital affairs.

Vicky Dong Revealed Affair with Frankie for a Reason

Why did Vicky Dong admit to T.C. Chang that she had an affair with Frankie Lam? According to one of the telephone recordings, Vicky apparently thought Frankie ended their relationship due to a new love interest in Hangzhou. Vicky was riled and thus she told T.C. Chang of her involvement with Frankie, hoping to seek revenge.

In a recording resembling Frankie’s voice: “Ho Ying said that I have another girlfriend in Hangzhou??”

T.C. Chang: “Oh! Vicky told me that. I asked Vicky why did both of you end your relationship? She said, ‘I realized Frankie had another woman in Hangzhou. Thus I broke up with him and became very unhappy.’”

Frankie: “I told you that I do not have a girlfriend in Hangzhou. Vicky is a very sensitive person. When I said I wanted to break up with her, she thought I had a girlfriend in Hangzhou. She harbored a grudge in her heart until this day.”

Since Frankie and Vicky’s relationship was revealed, Vicky has returned to China. In a recent blog entry, she said that while filming with Frankie, they got along as family members. She saw him as a mentor and denied that she was a third party. Subsequently, some netizens have shown their support while others left angry messages in her guestbook.

Addendum

Yan Suk Ming gossiped on her radio program about Hong Kong actress and actor, K and C, re-kindling their old romantic sparks while filming in China in 2007. Sudden Weekly researched the Hong Kong actors who filmed in China in 2007 and discovered the following:

Chilam Cheung and Kenix Kwok 《 紅 粉 》

In 2006, Chilam revealed that he and Anita Yuen Wing Yee got married overseas. Chilam and Anita have a good marriage and are often photographed going out or shopping together. Chilam and Kenix filmed 《 紅 粉 》in China in 2007 together.

Due to the hot weather the 3 of them entered a convenience store to cool down and bought cold drinks. The couple had plenty of chemistry even without saying a word. Afterwards the 3 of them left the premises. TVB is currently airing "The Sweetness in the Salt" and the whole crew are feeling tension over the ratings. Raymond's role will have a sudden death towards the end but hopes that the series will become a hit so that his role can be "reborn".

Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong's 4 year relationship ended


In 2005 Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong collaborated in the ancient costume series "Wars of In-Laws". This led the pair to develop a real offscreen relationship. They have experienced 4 year's of ups and downs. Rumors of a third party have been reported several times which caused their relationship on the rocks. But they successfully picked up from where they left off. In January last year, the couple were even caught by the Hong Kong press living together. Due to the effects of TV dramas, Myolie and Bosco have been widely supported by viewers in recent years. Advertisers are also very fond of the couple. They are seen as the ideal perfect couple. Their relationship may seem stable on the surface however this 4 year relationship officially ended 2 months ago.

It is reported that Myolie ended the relationship as she suspected him having an affair. She wasn't happy about earning more money than him and his position ranking in TVB was lower. She was also dissatisfied with his care free attitude. Myolie will be 30 this year and to avoid wasting her youth she decided to end this relationship.

Myolie felt depressed

Bosco is currently filming in Mainland and is faraway from her. They have been dating for 4 years, but how can they suddenly let go of everything so easily? On the 15 May, Myolie who became single met up with good friend Nancy Wu to have dinner. She appeared to be very unhappy and it was obvious she had a lot on her mind. She was depressed. Nancy accompanied her and often attempted to make her smile. The reporter heard Nancy comfort her by saying "Don't think too much, there are many nice guys are out there waiting for you".




Argues with Bosco during the middle of night, kicks him out of the house

It is reported that 2 months ago. Myolie argued with Bosco during the middle of the night. Myolie got very angry and ended their relationship. She threw his personal belongings along with his pet dog Kapun out of the house. Although it seemed ruthless it also showed that the pair weren't able to amend their relationship. According to an insider, the reason Myolie lost her temper was because Bosco dissapeared for a few days yet didn't respond to her calls. In fact it happened often during the last 6 months and that's why she suspected Bosco of having an affair.

The insider said "Myolie knows that Bosco has always been very flirty with girls to make them happy. But she didn't mind because Bosco appears to really care for her. Even when they were living together he would send her text messages and call her. But the last 6 months were different, his cell phone would be off. When she questioned him he would say that it was inconvenient as he was working. His responses were short. Let's just say he had changed." Although Bosco denied that there was a third party involved, she still kicked him out of the house. He could only pick up his belongings in embarrassment. Afterwards he called the Filipino male worker to pick him up from the house and drive him to his mother's place in Sha Tin. An insider said "Actually Bosco was very angry. It was the first time he had been kicked out of the house by a female. Yet felt embarrassed. He doesn't want to see her during this period of time. He would ask others to help him get any remaining belongings".



Dissatisfied with him not making further progress

Myolie has always had a much more successful career than Bosco, such as higher earnings. Earlier Myolie exposed that she needs to pay a 7 figure tax payment. Due to having differences in earnings, they started to have different views in life. A good friend of Myolie revealed "Myolie told us that she felt Bosco didn't work hard enough and earned less than her. She felt no sense of security. Sometimes we also feel he has crossed the line because Myolie often had to pay for the meal. Even when it's just the two of them she would be the one that pays most of the time. I even heard when they were living together that she had to pay for the rent too".

She was also dissatisfied with his "Care Free" attitude. Myolie had already thought about leaving him in the past as she saw her sister get married 3 years ago to a rich man. She would also like to find that happiness.

Bosco's rumors
