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.

No Botox for Joey Yung, counts on herself to do exercises


Joey Yung attended an award ceremony earlier and brought home the Spokesperson Award. 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. "When I saw him I couldn't believe my eyes. When we took photos together I felt very happy. My heart never felt my heart beat so fast!".

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.

The other day around 5pm Raymond, his wife and a female friend appeared in Causeway Bay. Raymond wore a cap and often ducked his head down. He appeared to be very low profile.

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

2007 - While filming "Moonlight Resonance" Fala Chen often asked him to drive her back home. This led to Myolie separating for a short term.
2007 - Bosco and Natalie Tong were rumored together while shooting "The Seventh Day". It was reported that this led to Natalie and Amigo Chui breaking up.
2006 - While shooting "Under The Canopy Of Love" Niki Chow was rumored pursuing Bosco.
2006 - Bernice Liu was rumored with Bosco while shooting "Devil's Disciples". Reports claimed that he bought her pack lunch and took care of her.

Ron Ng & Raymond Lam Living Together!?


"Out of all the siu sangs in TVB, Ron is considered one of best buddies. We became more acquainted because of the long filming of "Twin of Brothers". We would always play video games on-set. From that, we've became gamer buddies. We would also go to each other's place to play video games. Since Ron lives so close to TVB city, and there are many times where I would film until the late hours, and there are mornings where I have to film early in the morning. In between, I would have 2 or 3 hours to rest. So, I would go to Ron's place and sleep. Since I go to his place so often, Ron even prepared a room for me to sleep in. He also gave me the keys to his place! I always walk in and out of his place, but we have not had any "brokeback" rumours. It is really strange! Ha ha..."

Caption 1: "Twin of Brothers" is over 4o episodes. The filming process took over six months. Ron and I were together day and night. We developed a brother relationship!

In fact, Steven Ma was supposed to be in the original cast of "Rosy Business", Steven smiled and told reporter "It doesn't matter now, "Rosy Business" was supposed to be aired overseas too. If I did act in it, it may not be as successful anyway, you never know. "Sweetness in the Salt" has its uniqueness, it reminds me of "Internal Affairs" dressed in Qing Dynasty costume." When he was asked if he is under pressure following the success of "Rosy Business"? Steven replied "No, It is very difficult to beat "Rosy Business", but as long as the viewers are happy, I am happy too."

Tavia played the role as a fighter who was a member of the mountain gang to become the head of a household in "Sweetness in the Salt". She told reporter "I know we get very good feedback when it was aired overseas. I hope it will get the same viewing report in Hong Kong too. In fact the two series are produced by Tim Gor, and that itself is a guarantee." When asked if her role would be as popular as Sheren Tang (4th grandma), Tavia said "I haven't seen "Rosy Business" yet, and I don't know how she was like? I believe we have the word "courageous" marked on our chest."

Developed Superior Singing, is no longer a newcomer, Myolie Wu's next stop....Hong Kong Coliseum


Entering the second year in the music industry, she no longer has the "newcomer" shield to protect her or the people's extra tolerance anymore. Myolie's future path in the singing career will be become more difficult, but with her dreams in mind, she hopes to take a step at a time and eventually perform in the Hong Kong Coliseum which is every singers' dreams!

Myolie is currently preparing her second solo album, and her company has promised that they will have a surprise special arrangement for her which made her look forward to it. In addition, she won silver in the 2008 Hong Kong Music awards for female singers, hence she is more confident of her new album.


Attracted young fans

Starting to move away from the "Newcomer" label, Myolie is in a dilemma, "doesn't have this "newcomer" label shield, people will not be relaxed with me anymore. There will always be criticism that disregarded my feelings, but on the other side, i have been in the industry for many years, so calling me a newcomer is quite weird too. Thus, can say that i am relieved too. If asked if i have more pressure than last year, i will rather enjoy it, work hard and sing, because after entering the music industry, i really enjoy the performing time on stage. I even realised that when i'm performing on stage, there will be some fans who are grannies and aunties, and they are singing along with me, really very touched; In addition, with this additional singer identity, there are even more younger fans! In brief, it is a rare opportunity to sing and release an album, and it is something that she enjoys doing, hence, no matter what, i will also put in my best effort to do it well. Hope that i can continue to sing and have a concert in the Hong Kong Coliseum, like Raymond. Of course i also know it is not now, haha, but it will be my goal as a singer."

Letting the arts have free expression is a good thing

After Myolie and Linda chung, Kate Tsui also enters the Music Industry as a TVB artiste, and is going the dancing route. Is she worried that she will be compared? Myolie expressed that she does not mind positive competition, and feel that it is a good thing, as the music industry will have more free expression and it needs more different kinds of singers. Myolie also knows her strengths and weaknesses very well. "When i was in high school, i sang Soprano, and personally i like rock and loud songs. I will work and expand on this area, whereas i need to train hard on my dancing, hope that i can sing and dance, but composing a song, i will touch on that area for now."

After recording a song, need to eat more

Myolie is similar to other singers, during her recording, she has some habits too. "A few hours before i go for recording, i will not eat. Those who play wind instruments, need to eat more than have energy, but singing is different, an empty stomach is better. Actually when i am memorizing the lyrics, i have no appetite already. Once i finish the recording, i will definitely eat a lot."

Ah Sa added "I am worried that I may forget the lyrics, but this is a big challenge for me. I have asked the company not to give me too much work so that I don't get too much stress. Otherwise, I might not be able to cope."
