Leila saves stray dogs to repay their help

Leila, who always have unlimited love for animals, attended the opening ceremony of Rescue Centre For Abandoned Pets (RCAP) with a bunch of kind people to help raise funds in order to build living places for stray dogs at Lau Fau San. As she already has a couple of dogs at home, Leila said smilingly that one of the criteria of her future partner is love for dogs and that she admits she is crazy about dogs.

Well known for being a dog lover, Leila still takes out some time to help the stray dogs even though she was busy with stageplay and filming a drama in mainland China previously. Some time ago, Leila and other artistes, including Gabriel Harrison attended the opening ceremony of RCAP and they urged the kind people out there to donate money to help stray dogs build a better home.

During the event, Leila was playing rather happily with the dogs, showing her affection for them. Even though she was enjoying herself, she became serious when the issue about the living environment of the stray dogs was brought up. "This organisation found a place for the stray dogs to stay in Lau Fau San and even bought big cargo containers to keep them. There was also a very kind person who donated a batch of aircons. However, as they have to wire the place to fix the aircons, a large sum of money is required. I really hope that everyone can be kind enough to donate a little to help."

Pets becoming owner

Leila, who has lots of love for dogs all the while, said that she hopes to volunteer to help dogs after she retires in the future. She said smilingly, "I feel that I was probably saved by dogs in my previous life so I feel that I owe them in this life. Just like the bunch of kings at home (referring to her pet dogs), sometimes I feel that they are the owner instead of me because I listen to them most of the time. (Reporter: Is love for dogs one of your criteria for future partner?) Of course. If he can't pass this stage, he doesn't have to even think of becoming my boyfriend."

Joyce Tang accused of having troubles with Derek Kwok

A magazine reported that Joyce Tang and Derek Kwok were having problems and cause their relationship to fall apart. Yesterday she appeared emotional over the phone interview. She said that the report used the message she wrote on her microblog and put it out of context: "I have no mood to do these things. (How is your relationship with Derek?) Haven't changed, we are still good friends. I am just upset because in my dictionary there are no "betray" or "take advantage of". First I never said such thing and second these types of reports can really cause a lot of trouble for other people. I am truly sorry to Derek for dragging him into this. (But there's a photograph of you and him in the house?) That photo is old, he never came to my house. Even if he did, there should be a photo of him leaving too!"

When Ada jumped into the canvas, she accidentally injured her nose. She was in so much pain that her tears immediately came rolling down, but she laughed: "Scraped my nose a little. (Then you'll have to get it fix?) Luckily I'm a natural born beauty, proves that my chin and nose are real!"

Speaking of Netizens saying that her acting in "Fly" is exaggerated, Ada explained: "I have heard people saying that, but there are also a lot of people that said they disliked my HK girl personality. I hope audience watch the series in a happy mood!" Ada also admitted that she's a HK girl herself: "I am a Hong Kong girl and was once a Miss Hong Kong representative! (What qualities do you have?) I am full of confidence, I just feel that I'm really good! (Are you not afraid of embarrassment?) Not to the point of not fair of embarrassment." Speaking of the series copying several movies and other series (committed "7 crimes"), Ada said: "Superheroes, if not male then it's a female, or if not cat then it's dog. As for this series, it talks about me as a "HK Girl" going out to bully the typical "HK Boy". I don't think my costume is a copy of Maggie Cheung's character in "Heroic Trio", we both have different elements."

Moses Chan said that he knows that the series is getting a good number of hits by Netizens: "I am not too worried about the TV ratings. (How about being said to have copied other movies?)

Donnie Yen: Going Home Is More Important Than Box Office

Donnie Yen's character from "Yip Man" is now available in a wax figure in HK Madame Tssauds wax museum. Yesterday he attended to the opening ceremony. Wife Cecilia Wang came to support with her parents, sister, and cousin. Donnie felt the eyes resembled the best.

Donnie's "Yip Man 2" has a box office of 3,720,000HKD (opening day) and is so far his best selling film in one day. He is very satisfied with the box office. First installment has box office around one million in its opening day, this time is the triple.

He said since it has a good box office, he will definitely invite others to dinner. He also hope it will exceed 40 million and boss Raymond Wong will pay everyone a trip to Japan. He stressed earlier that he won't film a 3rd installment, now the sequel has a good outcome, will he reconsider? He expressed he won't because there's not much new elements he can add to the character. Also too many people portray the same character, like "Wong Fei Hung" before, which turned out pretty bad in the end. He won't be like other people. Foreign film "Iron Man 2" will open today and asked is he confident in beating "IM2?" Donnie said it's hard to say, "YM2" has good word-of-mouth, Mainland viewers said it surpassed the first one. He said: "Decide who will win or go home, which one is more important? Of course I'll pick the latter one."

Hacken Lee receives ‘amnesty’ from TVB: asked to host World Cup programming

Since the news came out that Hacken Lee’s contracts with TVB and Universal Music expired at the end of March, he has been a ‘hot commodity’ among the record companies. Earlier, there were rumors that EEG purposefully sent Hacken’s good friend Joey Yung to try and persuade him to join their company; plus add to that Universal’s dispute with TVB over royalties, which had placed Hacken – known as ‘TVB’s god-son’ – in a difficult position. Nevertheless, despite the struggles, Hacken has decided that due to his deep-rooted relationship with Universal, he will renew his contract with the record company.

According to reports, even though Hacken’s contract with Universal expired in March, he still ‘owed’ the company several albums. With both parties agreeing on a ‘happy rate’, the album contract was extended as well. Universal’s Vice-Chairman Huang Jian Tao confirmed yesterday: “Yes, Hacken has indeed renewed his contract. The company was able to use its sincerity to convince Hacken to stay.” Hacken’s management company E.N.G. expressed that they are satisfied with the terms of the contract, saying: “Hacken’s collaboration with Universal has always been pleasant.”

Due to the birth of his second son, Hacken has been at home keeping his wife and sons accompany. Tomorrow, he will officially resume working and start recording for his new album. With Universal’s other front-line artists such as Jacky Cheung, Kelly Chen, and Kay Tse already making appearances on ATV and i-Cable, will Hacken be doing the same? His management company expressed: “Currently, there have not been any discussions about promotional opportunities yet. The priority is to first record the album, then later see which shows fit with promotional efforts.”

Known for being ‘crazy’ about soccer, Hacken was rumored to have signed a multi-million dollar contract with i-Cable to host the World Cup, however it is reported that for this year’s WC, i-Cable will not be hiring an ‘outsider’ for the job. In a surprising turn of events, Hacken has been reportedly hired by TVB to host their World Cup programming, despite his recent contract renewal with Universal. Asked if Hacken was granted ‘amnesty’ due to his good relationship with TVB, the station’s Manager of Production (variety shows and special events) Ho Lai Chun responded: “The host for the World Cup programming has not been confirmed yet; we are in contact with several people at the moment and Hacken is one of them.” As a huge fan of the Manchester United soccer team, Hacken will be attending the ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow for the specially-themed MU restaurant opening in Hong Kong.

In addition, with i-Cable being granted the exclusive broadcasting rights for the entire World Cup competition, there have been reports that the company has also bought out the rights to report on the World Cup in their news programs, which means that TVB and ATV would not be able to air i-Cable’s World Cup footage in their news programs -- they would only be able to air footage of the few games they are jointly broadcasting. This has sparked renewed talks between the paid TV provider and the 2 stations to hopefully come to an agreement that would work for all parties.

Ron Ng "banished" to Mainland, but is Blessed in disguise on improving his acting: "Cant Lose"

Good times or bad times, many times its all on our own hands! In the recent year, Ron Ng has been having a major decrease in popularity, so he went back to Mainland filming series to earn the money and was said to have been "banished" from the company. However, Ron does not agree to this statement. The time he's filming in Mainland forced him to work hard daily on plane scripts and this made him fall in love with acting even more. He follows the words by his senior for encouragement: "Chow Yun Fat said before it's learning for a lifetime!"

Always went down the "handsome" path, Ron recently jumped out of the box in his appearance on TVB sitcom "O.L Supreme" where he plays a simple-minded bus fan. At first Ron did not have much confidence in this role: "before accepting to be in this role, I went online to watch "Tuesday's Report" episode of Bus Fans and I learned how to be one of them. My outer appearance somewhat copied Japanese movie "Densha Otoko" ("Train Man"). You know it! Bus Fans give you a feeling of isolation and being closed-up, bullied by others and afraid to speak up. At first acting out this role was a little challenging because I never done this type of role before nor do I have these types of friends. I'm also rather tall and I'm usually playing those heroes and bad boy roles, I was a little afraid that the results wouldn't turn out good. Fortunately the public responses have been good, I have some ABC friends that just came back from overseas and don't often watch Hong Kong series, but one time they called me up and praised that the series was a good one, have to chase it everyday!"

Study Acting

The cast from the sitcom, Ron said that its the first time he collaborated with many of them including Liza Wang, Chapman To and Denise Ho. Liza had always given the impression that she's punctual and strict. Ron actually said that he's not too afraid of Liza, at first he was more afraid of Chapman: "When we just started shooting, I wasn't afraid of Liza, but rather Chapman because he looked upset, changes mood too quickly, straightforward and is a natural born comedic actor. But after this collaboration, I actually learned a lot from him and now we became friends. Besides eating out together, we also like watching movies. When we have time we would talk about them. Us three guys Chapman, Joel Chan and I have the most scenes together. As the story progresses, the series will start talking about me often going out into the hallway for "meetings". Those scenes we sometimes add our own style to it, like when we took our wine glasses and splat out red wine on each other. The director also felt that the results was quite humorous. Filming sitcoms is not only fun to film, but also allows more space to develop the scenes."

Back in the day, Ron depended on "Triumph In the Skies" to bounce up into popularity. He started filming more series and released music albums. Unfortunately because of the negative news and rumors, he was arranged by his company to film series in Mainland. The media said that he was "banished" from TVB, but Ron does not agree. In Mainland, not only is he earning money, but in the short period of time he fell in love with acting. In the recent year, his acting has improved more and more.

"Before when I was filming , I told myself: 'just succeed, no failure' because that series had many good and funny artistes, like Louis Yuen and John Chiang. Because of this I definitely had to accomplish something, otherwise I would sink even further. My mentality has changed in the recent year, I started loving acting more and my interest grew. Earlier when I was filming in Mainland, there was so many things to do for leisure. Besides watching DVDs and going online for news, I focused on acting and examining the script. Back in Hong Kong, I continued with this spirit and this allowed me to become more mature and I started to love acting!"

Ron agrees to the reasoning of not falling behind, so he will work hard in doing his best. However he feels that practice is more important than theory: "Everyday when I go to work, I am learning. Just like the current series I'm working on "Reunion", I'm working with Lau Siu Ming and Roger Kwok. When there is time, I would grab them and ask questions. I would ask Lau Siu Ming how to do rescuing scenes and when it's time to film, I would then practice and observe. I like practice more than theory. You could have attended 100 classes, if you never physically done acting, then its useless. It's always best to learn as you act. Like Chow Yun Fat said, it's life long learning."

No Split in parties, everyone is TVB Party

Regarding to Stephen Chan's recent corruption case that affected some artists. Ron frankly said that the best thing to do is do your own part. It was rumored that whoever is part of the "Stephen Party" is out, while artists in the "Virgina Lok Party" gets to rise. Ron expressed that there isn't a split in parties.

"I'm not very familiar with Mr. Chan. We are under Ms. Lok, not much affect. The most important thing is to do well on your own work. Executive issues, let TVB handle it. I hope Mr. Chan can be ok soon and the incident can come to an end. TVB is such a big company, they will properly handle the situation. We are just little artists, play a small role. Actually there is no split in parties, everone is part of the TVB party because TVB is who pays us. Every artist just do their own part, then we're fine."

Ronald Cheng and Ah Sa No Oppose To Play A Couple On-screen

Although they couldn't be husband and wive, Ronald Cheng and Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) are still friends. Lately there's a report from Mainland saying a director planned to make martial arts novel '萍擪俠影錄' into a TV series. He wanted to invite couples or husband and wife in the showbiz to act.

But they didn't want to be in the same series together and scared off the team with a demand of 8 million pay.

Ah Sa attended to izzue fashion show yesterday and she expressed she never heard anyone inviting her and Ronald to film as a couple, so she felt the report is quite humorous. Company didn't notify her? She said: "Shouldn't be. If if there is an offer, still have to look at the scripts first. But I'll go Beijing to film '翡翠明珠.' Soon I'll film '財神客棧' with Nicolas Tse and Barbie Hsu. Jobs are arranged till November." If scripts are suitable, paid is high, will she work with her ex-husband again? Ah Sa said: "Might try it if I'm free. I don't oppose. How much pay will make me say yes? I only like to film, company will decide the amount of money."

Just returned being single again, Ah Sa doesn't want to start dating right now. If Ronald starts to pursue her again, will she say yes and reunite? She only said: "Depends on fate, we'll see if it's suitable." Talked about earlier she was on the same stage with Ronald for Qinghai relief, did she pay attention to his performance? Ah Sa said: "I watched B gor gor and his daughter. I really didn't see Ronald Cheng!"

Ronald attended to a Nokia event and also expressed besides a company said they hope he and Ah Sa will film 'Happy Home 2010' (花田囍事2010) together (Ah Sa had no free spot so she couldn't make it), no other companies have ever approach to them like the report claimed. Ronald stressed he doesn't mind working with Ah Sa. Depending on the story of the script, it wouldn't be a problem even if they have to play a married couple. Reporters said his response is just like Ah Sa's, Ronald said: "This is the fact! We're friends. It's still good if we have chances to work together."

TVB fires "Stephen Party" Producer; A greater loss to TVB than the Producer

Referred as part of the "Stephen Party", TVB producer (Poon Yue Kai) earlier left the company with TVB's reason being "nothing for him to do". Yesterday TVB "takes out the knife" again and fired Producer (Tang Yuen Mei) who produced the programme "On The Road". TVB's spokesperson (Tsang Sing Ming) expressed that the decision was made because of the new combination of production crew, she will not be meeting the future production needs and this does not rule out the chances for another collaboration opportunity in the future. He also stressed that this has nothing to do with Stephen Chan. Yesterday Ms. Tang admitted to the fact: "TVB gave me two options. One was I leave myself or two I get fired. I told TVB to fire me because I did nothing wrong. ("Stephen Party" getting fired?) I don't even know if I'm considered in the "Stephen Party". I just feel a programme that received good ratings, many awards, good feedback and had a good production team gets fired, I don't understand what TVB uses as their standards. I know that this is more of a loss to TVB than it is a loss to me."

"When Tiger was in rehab for sex addiction, he filled out four pages, listing the amount of women he'd had affairs with - there were 121 in all," the Mirror quoted legal sources, as telling the US paper National Enquirer.

During the disclosure, Woods had failed to name his alleged youngest mistress, 22-year-old Racychel Coudriet, who is also his neighbours' daughter.

Ah Sa and Ah Giu's breakup rumours to be realized?

After two stormy years in both their work and relationships, Hong Kong girl group Twins once again held a concert at the Coliseum. Ah Sa and Ah Giu embraced each other in a fierce hug littered with bitter tears, worrying that "This will be Twins last concert." Their EEG Music manager Mani Fok also furthered the rumours in a statement to the media afterwards, saying that the pair would go their separate ways, "There's no reason for them to work together all the time."

Due to Ah Giu's sex scandal involving Edison Chen, the Twins concert that was scheduled for 08 was pushed back until this year. Shortly before they opened, it was Ah Sa's turn to reveal her secret four year marriage with Ronald Cheng, and their current divorce proceedings, their emotions had suffered a huge hit.

Ah Sa joked, "Everytime we look at each other when we sing we want to cry, so we try to sing back to back." Even during rehearsals, they would cry, causing their eyeliner to run. "However, I really enjoy those moments!" Faced with their fans' undying love and passion, Ah Sa looked troubled as she said, "I'm really worried that this is Twins last concert together."

After hearing these words, Ah Giu also expressed, "These two years, words of thanks have been said many times, I never imagined that we could stand on this stage after so many years," and "I'm so scared that there won't be a second time..." The pair then hugged tightly as they sang "6 years of love", and Ah Giu's voice cracked as she said, even though so many unhappy things happened to them, Twins would strive to continue on.

However, EEG's Artist Management Director and Manager Mani Fok told the media afterwards that, due to differing personalities and temperament, the plan to separate Twins after the concert wouldn't change, because "there's no need for them to do all of their work together."

All natural Kim Kardashian fights cosmetic surgery stories

All natural Kim Kardashian fights cosmetic surgery storiesNew York (ANI): While denying cosmetic surgery rumours, socialite Kim Kardashian insisted that her body is 100 percent natural. "I did a nude shoot when I was 15 pounds heavier - un-retouched, cellulite - so what? I don't think cellulite is cute, but I've been working out all year. And I thought I would reward myself. So I said, 'Why not?' When the shoot came about I said yes, and I think it worked out really well.

"It empowers me - it makes me feel accomplished - it shows me that I've reached my goals - I'm not the type of girl who can eat whatever she wants. It is a challenge. It is hard for me. I am not one of those skinny girls," Kardashian said. She added that she's happy to be single, reports Fox News.


She said: "I feel very blessed, happy to be single, focusing on my work life - living on my own and living in my life. I would say to women follow your heart, and have fun. Just make sure that no one makes you feel bad. I was fortunate to have a good relationship and have it end in a positive way. It makes me sad when people stay in a negative relationship and don't know their self worth and refuse to move on."

Charlene Choi plays "resist but welcoming" girl in William Chan's new MV

William Chan was shooting for the MV to his new song "穿心箭" and asked big sister Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) to be the female lead. William is a bartender in the MV and had always had a crush on Ah Sa, but was afraid to confess to her, until one night. In the MV, Ah Sa and her boyfriend got into a fight, so she drank a lot, which gave William the opportunity to take another step in the relationship. Ah Sa and William had many intimate scenes, but the director wanted Ah Sa togive off a "resist but welcoming" feeling. On camera, the feminine feeling was written all over Ah Sa, William looked helpless.

Asked if William has experienced this kind of situation before? William said: "Nope. I have been drunk before, but I only laugh constantly when I'm drunk, not as good as the male lead in the MV."

Although Ah Sa is a film queen, playing many different types of roles before, but a "resist but welcoming" is the first time. She even explained for her character, she said: "This type of girl uses drunk as a way to relax, giving an opportunity for the person who has a crush on her. Maybe because there are other reasons that she isn't brave enough to confess directly."

Brotherhood for Joe Ma & Sharon Chan, zero love sparks

Once known as the "Rumor King", in the recent year Joe Ma has gotten rid of that title, drawing a line with rumors. He is now seen as a good man taking care of his family. With him is the tall Sharon Chan who claims herself as the "Rumor Insulator", therefore even after so many collaborations between the two, there's still no love sparks, it's just "brotherhood".

Sharon defended the "cool" looking Joe Ma, she said: "Actually he's really cute, very funny and is the "lead entertainer" among the group of friends. He can instantly turn dead water into something lively."

Joe and Sharon have collaborated in a number of series including - "Catch Me Now", "Summer Heat", "Suspects in Love" and both participated in "Strictly Come Dancing". Because of this they became good friends. The two "tall people" are rarely paired up in the industry, but it was not until "Suspects in Love" that they were arranged to play as a couple. The two gets into a love triangle with Flora Chan.

Brother-Sister absolutely nothing will happen

Often involved with rumors in the past, Sharon was never one of Joe's rumored girlfriends, Sharon joked: "I like girls! Actually I have always been a rumor insulator, you can check my history. Usually when I date, I would admit it, why don't I have rumors? Is it because I'm not good looking? Maybe my personality is too much like a guy! Sometimes when the paparazzi photograph me, I'm often out with a guy and still there's no stories about that guy being my boyfriend, looks like people aren't interested in me. Joe and I are also 'big brother - little sister', absolutely nothing will happen."

There was a period of time where Joe was surrounded by rumors, mostly revolving around Charmaine Sheh and Sonjia Kwok. It was only in the recent year where he kept it low, often photographed with his wife and children, looks like he successfully drew a line with rumors. Towards the old "playboy" image, Joe felt helpless: "I don' know either. Sometimes for series promotion, rumors are inevitable. Maybe because in the past my female co-stars had more rumors, but now my recent co-star Flora Chan is already married, rumors naturally go away. In the past, I would always do the initiating with other people, asking them if they need help or anything, but now I'm trying my best to reduce those actions and maintain the distance." Sharon heard this and complained: "He's always shouting at me! I"m a little upset!"

A good man keeps distance from females

Joe joked that back then even when he crosses the road and there's a girl besides him, he'll be dead. It was really frightening, that time he didn't dare to do interviews either, fearing that the media would write about it: "What I say is different from what is reported. The writer would just write about their personal impression on me. I felt that was really unfair, I rather not do the interviews then. Fortunately that time is the past now, my wife trusts me."

Lead Entertainer Joe Ma

Sharon defended Joe, she said: "He's a person who really loves his family. His family-oriented personality is quite similar to his role as Ng Chung Ming in "Suspects in Love". He looks after his family, he can cook, he's a good husband and lover. Don't look at his appearance being so cool and think he's mean. The other side of him is really playful, he can eat and drink well, he's a funny person. If he works in PR, he would definitely get popular, he's the lead entertainer. I clearly remember one time when I was at a friend gathering, the group of friends weren't too familiar with one another, the atmosphere was like dead water, no one said a word. I got tired and was about to leave when Joe came into the picture, he came running and jumping around. After a short period, the dead atmosphere turned into an atmosphere as lively as an anniversary show. I thought everyone ate something wrong, when they all got up and started dancing, Joe has the ability to bring back life from the dead. No matter if it's work or leisure, he is totally into it, just like TVB's slogan. Actually Joe is pretty silly, it's just that everyone misunderstood him. Of course he also does have his 'hot' side too, otherwise people would say he's good to bully." Joe laughed: "Must make it relaxing and comfortable outside of work!"

Sharon a better wife than girlfriend

As if he's a good husband, Joe said: "It's hard for me to judge, but to be a 100% good husband and father is something really difficult. I also have my romantic side, sometimes giving surprises to my wife. As a father, you have to put in a lot of effort and time to develop the good relationship. My son is 11 years old, I'm very democratic, won't be too controlling."

Although Sharon isn't married yet, but she believes that she'll be a better wife than a girlfriend. "I like to do chores, housekeeping, I'm loyal and sympathetic. This type of wife is awesome! Can go into the kitchen and out into the hall. Being a girlfriend, have to keep boyfriend happy and be romantic. I'm not too good with those things."

(Did you ask Nancy Wu first?) It's a little embarrassing."
