Raymond Lam brings girlfriend to film set

Actor Raymond Lam has not been focusing well during his filming in Hendian, as he missed his girlfriend Karena Ng, who is in Hong Kong, which caused the filming crew much distress.

As reported on HK Channel, a production crew member of Raymond's upcoming drama, "The First Empress" recently complained, "The weather has been really hot and it's hard to film period dramas in a 40-degree weather. The lead actress Wang Luodan also does not get along very well with Raymond until now."

He revealed that Raymond suddenly took leave to go back to Hong Kong, allegedly to meet up with Karena, which caused more issues on set.

The crew member stated, "When he is not around, we had to use a body double. Action scenes may be easy to film with body doubles, but not other scenes. Even when we use one, we still have to re-shoot when he returns. We're not happy with this."

It was also reported that Raymond finally decided to take Karena Ng with him to Hengdian after his return to Hong Kong on 13 July, so that they can spend more time together.

The actress was spotted accompanying Raymond to the film set on 15 May and stayed inside his car while Raymond worked.

Raymond Lam Won't Announce When He Gets Married

Lately Raymond Lam had been busy filming for Mainland series Detective & Doctors (aka Luk Siu Fung), but yesterday he had a day off to attend a new fashion store opening in HK. Raymond appeared to have put on some weight, he smiled and admitted: "I've been in Mainland for a long period shooting for an action costume series, so I must consume enough starchy foods, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to physically handle it. Also the food there is on the greasy side, so I gained some weight."

Raymond disclosed he will only be in HK for a little bit because he will have to go back to Mainland soon to start on producer Lau Kar Ho & Miu Siu Ching's nowTV costume drama The Virtuous Queen of Han (大漢賢后衛子夫). It was rumored Virgina Lok originally wanted HK$20 million for his participation in this series, but Raymond insisted on reducing it to HK$10 million because producer Lau Kar Ho is a good friend of his. Raymond said: "nowTV made the investment into this series, TVB accepted it for me and I will be starting on it soon. (Rumored you insisted on reducing the price?) TVB discussed the prices. Just as long as the terms are reasonable, I will accept it. I believe TVB have considered all factors, such as the scheduling. However, I'm happy because I did collaborate with Kar Ho gor before. This time, we get a completed script and I have confidence on my character."

Once Raymond starts shooting in Mainland, he won't get to see girlfriend Karena Ng as much? He said: "I'm not talking about my private life. (Has she complained about not getting to see you?) No, I'm not talking about my personal life. Thanks for the concern." Good friend Moses Chan had a shotgun marriage with Aimee Chan in Paris, Raymond said: "Congratulations. (Are you going to be more careful?) Not talking about these things. My work is the most important right now." Raymond expressed he loves children and enjoys family life. Asked when he plans to get married? He said: "I haven't thought about it yet. When the time is right, I will do what is right. Right now, work is my priority. (Will you announce when you get married?) Not necessary."

Raymond Lam & Karena Back in HK Hand In Hand, Smiles at Marriage Rumor

It was rumored Raymond Lam and Karena Ng were secretly married in the U.S. Yesterday morning, the couple came back to HK accompanied by Raymond's cousin Lin Xiawei. At the airport, the couple walked out together with their luggage and while getting in the taxi, Raymond held his girlfriend's hand tightly. Although Raymond did not respond to any of the marriage rumors, he and Karena BB smiled at each other and totally accepted reporters' "congratulations" without a question. With her boyfriend next to her, Karena did not say a word, only Raymond disclosed she'll be denying the rumor when she attends an event later that afternoon.

Since February 2013 when the couple went public, they have appeared very sweet with nicknames for each other "Karena BB" and "L Pig", and they're often seen traveling together. A few days ago, they traveled to the U.S to attend Raymond's brother graduation at the University of Southern California. Raymond's parents and cousin Lin Xiawei went with them. Raymond's brother group photo of him with Raymond and Lin Xiawei on Weibo.

Reporters surrounded the couple asking questions on the marriage rumors and whether they're admitting tacitly? Raymond just smiled at Karena and then said: "Its always the media making up these stories. I am not responding this time." Asked if they're already married? When will they hold the wedding banquet? He said: "Huh?! Thank you! Thank you!" His responses to all other questions were the same.

Raymond expressed the US trip was to take part in his brother's graduation. Asked if his brother likes to call Karena "Ah So"? He said: "Thanks for the concern!" Are you not married yet then? He insisted on not responding, "You are asking so much, you're getting bored and I'm getting bored. Thanks for the concern!" Reporters then pursued the question on Lin Xiawei, asked if she has to call Karena "Ah So" now? She kept her head down and did not respond. Raymond and Karena were walking besides her and couldn't hold in their laughter.

Later that afternoon, Karena attended an event and was asked about her US trip with Raymond again. She said: "I was just going to attend a graduation. I do not want to talk too much about my personal matters. The graduation is part of his (Raymond) family. (Did you meet his parents?) I saw Auntie and Uncle, they are very kind. I don't want to disclose too many details, it is all in the news."

Karena expressed Raymond's parents did not rush them to get married. She said: "The marriage rumors went around several times. We had 'lightning marriage' rumors and break up rumors. I believe everyone knows its not true, but since we're dating, of course I regard him as a marriageable partner."

Adam Cheng & Raymond Lam Chok Out a Father-Son Relationship

Adam Cheng and Raymond Lam play father and son in new film Saving General Yang. Their first collaboration was actually 10 years ago in TVB series Blade Heart. On the day of their interview, Raymond immediately took out his iPad to show his "father" Adam his latest MV. Adam praised Raymond: "My first collaboration with Raymond was 10 years ago, that time he put great effort into the fighting and horseback riding scenes. Hard work is a form of Chok! Back then, I thought Raymond's fighting scenes looked like he's gone crazy, but now he does everything with ease."

Raymond knew what the right thing to do was, he gave the "King of Chok" title to Adam, "That time, I already noticed Adam was quite Chok! Adam had a solo swordsmanship scene. He held the sword like a fencer, which was useful to me for a lifetime."

It was said Wu Chun, who played general Yang Yanzhao, had muscle-showing scenes and stole the limelight. Raymond stressed the 7 brothers each have their own brilliance. His "father" Adam laughed and said all '7 boys' respect the elders: "What made me really feel sorry was I accidentally poked Wu Chun and Fu Xinbo with my spear. I remember the first day, the scene was about them rushing to rescue me and already poured out real feelings. These boys are really smart. I'm a lot simpler, just have a dead look." Raymond joked: "Chok until death!"

Raymond Lam Regards Karena Ng as Family & Marriage Partner

Yesterday Raymond Lam attended the autograph session for his A Time 4 You album. He arrived at the event on time and it seems like he's changing the bad habit! When asked if he's listening to his girlfriend Karena Ng and finally changing the bad habit? He laughed: "I've always been changing, actually I'm not that serious! (Influenced by Karena BB?) Well, when two people are together, mutual influence is a good thing."

When speaking of Karena mentioning earlier that she likes to call Raymond by his birth name "Ah Man" (Lam Wui Man), reporters were curious and asked whether they could call him Ah Man too? Raymond blurted out: "Only my family calls me by that name." Asked if Karena is family? He smiled sweetly and nodded. Asked whether they slept on the same bed on their vacations and were they afraid of an "accident"? He expressed he does not want to comment on his personal life. As Raymond was speaking, he had a head full of sweat, but he immediately explained: "It is not because of the questions you are asking, I just finished dancing."

Raymond Lam & Karena Ng Inseparable Partying Together for 4 Hours

Since the Raymond Lam & Karena Ng relationship went public, the couple have been inseparable. In just a short 20 days, the couple have already traveled to Tokyo, Okinawa and Milano together. Back in HK, the two take time off to celebrate Valentine's Day. Raymond loves Karena BB and seems very into the relationship.

Last night at 10pm, Karena BB and her company boss, HotCha and other friends were at the bar. Two hours later, Raymond surprisingly appeared with several other friends rushing over to the bar. Raymond knew there were reporters at the scene, but did not try to avoid anything. When Raymond got out of the car, he was seen wearing a ring on his left ring finger. Then he quickly walked into the bar to meet his girlfriend. It was understood, once Raymond got into the bar he greeted everyone and sat next to Karena BB.

After the bar, the couple wanted more and went for karoke with their friends. Karena took her company's car to the karaoke, while Raymond just followed behind in a taxi. Looks like Raymond put down his 'Young Pop King' role and stuck to his girlfriend like glue. The group played until 3am, most friends already left, but the couple continued playing hard until 4am. Karena left first with her manager and company boss. The couple played for a full 4 hours before going home.

Lin Xiawei Met 'Mrs. Raymond' and Said She's Good

Karena left after karaoke, but Raymond and another group of colleagues did another celebration. Perhaps because TVB executive Virgina Lok as there, so Raymond took his cousin Lin Xiawei along too. Reporters later contacted Lin Xiawei, she said she's been busy filming series and hasn't seen her 'big brother' Raymond. However, she has met her 'Ah So' Karena Ng already. Lin Xiawei said: "When they were shooting the film, I visited the set before and that time they should be dating already. (How did he introduce her?) Just like friends, we had dinner together before too. (Was Raymond really attentive towards Karena?) My brother had always been very attentive, very gentleman and takes good care of people. He was able to take care of her (Karena) and still pass me some food. (What do you think of your 'Ah So'?) She's pretty good! The most important is he likes her."

Raymond Lam & Karena Ng's 3 Vacations in 1 Month, Guarantees No Baby Made

Since Raymond Lam started dating 19 year old Karena Ng, the couple had been on three vacations within a month! Following their Tokyo and Okinawa trips, last night the couple were spotted at the airport coming back from their 3rd vacation in Milano. Raymond was first to appear pushing out his luggage, when asked where he just got back from? The impatient Raymond said: "I'm on vacation now, so I don't have to explain. (Where is your girlfriend?) I don't have to give you the schedule right? (3 vacations in 1 month?) Good morning! (Girlfriend will come out after you?) I don't have to tell you. (Came back to HK early because your girlfriend has work?) Thanks!"

Ten minutes later, Karena BB came out with a pleasant smile on her face. There was a group of male fans waiting for her at the airport. Walking with just her two hands in her pockets, it appears her boyfriend had already taken care of her luggage for her. It also seems like she and Raymond prepared their responses to the media. When asked why they're leaving the airport separately? She just said "Thank you" as a response. When asked if she turned down several jobs because of this relationship? Is her company upset? She defended herself: "I was shooting a Mainland drama for 3 months. (Why are your hands in your pockets?) I'm on vacation, I don't want to talk too much about my personal life." But when Karena took one of her hands out of her pockets to open the taxi door, she 'carelessly' revealed a ring on her left index finger. It looks like the 'wedding ring' has been exposed!

Last night, Karena attended the celebration dinner for the film Hotel Deluxe with Ronald Cheng, Fiona Sit and Lynn Hung. She smiled sweetly and admitted she went on vacation with Raymond: "This time, we went to Milano and Florence. We went for several days mainly to look at the architecture there. Raymond had studied there before." A few weeks ago when the couple came back from Tokyo, Karena stuttered and denied staying in the same hotel room as Raymond, but the public criticized the response is too fake. This time when Karena was asked whether they stayed in the same hotel room, she chose not to respond. "That is too personal, I am not responding. (Secretly married?) Nope. I will tell you all of the happy events. (You're wearing a ring?) I bought it myself, he didn't give it to me. I will only accept it at a different stage in the relationship. (Plan to get married over there?) Haven't thought of that far into the future. (Are you afraid of getting pregnant?) That definitely won't happen. Take it step by step. Marriage comes first, that is one of the biggest events in life and very important to a girl. It is necessary to have a full and complete plan."

Calls Lover By Real Name "Ah Man"

Karena BB later exposed Raymond has not changed his weakness of being late all the time. "Usually he has this problem, I have to rush him. (Why did he want you to take the taxi?) I suggested it, I want to keep a low-profile. We knew there would be reporters. (He's a big man?) No! (He's romantic?) Usually, I can guess everything he does. (How do you two refer one another? Honey?) I don't call him that, I call him by his real name Ah Man." (Raymond's real name is Lam Wui Man)

Raymond's manager responded on his behalf during a telephone interview: "Raymond's vacation is over today (2/28). He'll be attending an autograph session on March 3rd. (Raymond and Karena's secret trip to Milano?) I knew he was on vacation. (Karena has a ring on her, rumored they're secretly married?) I haven't heard about that, personal matters, have to ask them." It was understood, Raymond and Karena's 3 vacations within a month cost them about HK$500,000.

Yesterday Raymond accepted a radio interview and revealed he just hopes to have a normal dating life. He wants to be able to hold his girlfriend's hand and walk down Causeway Bay. "In the past, I never had a normal dating life, but now that I'm older, I can be myself more. The life I pursue is not constantly working. I've said before I long to have a normal Valentine's Day, have dinner with my girlfriend in Causeway Bay and watch a movie, that's very normal. (Will you hold your girlfriend's hand now?) I think I would. I cannot lose my own life just because of my job, my love life is also very important."

Raymond seems to enjoy dating very young girls, he believes: "There is no age limit in love. The most important is communication, understanding and mutual love. I don't believe in love at first sight, time is required to get to know your partner." When asked if there would be a "special friend" (Karena), who would go to his home for new year greetings?

Rain Li: "Raymond Lam Secret" Affectionate in a Mushy Way

Raymond Lam and Karena Ng's are passionately in love, Raymond calls his girlfriend "BB", extremely mushy. Raymond's first girlfriend Rain Li, accepted a radio interview yesterday and admitted she dated Raymond before. The 'Raymond-Rain' relationship finally surfaces after 12 years.

Rain first sent her blessings to Raymond and Karena, and then exposed back then, she and Raymond were forced to take their relationship underground: "Very courageous, nowadays, artists can make many things public. It's a lot happier than before. Back then, we were too young, my company didn't want us to go public, so we never admitted it." When asked if she feels bitter? Rain encouraged herself: "Nope, that was back in ancient times, I will have to work harder too!"

When asked if Raymond called her "BB" back then? Rain revealed a very sweet smile: "Nope, but he had another nickname for me. I won't tell you though! (Honey?) Couples cannot get away from those mushy things." Rain expressed she and Raymond were both busy with their own careers and haven't really kept in touch, but it's all in the heart. Many of her ex-lovers are settling down, but Rain said with an open-mind: "Some things are the past, just leave it in the past. The past is the past and that just means we weren't right for each other. When I dated in the past, the relationships weren't really valued as much, but now I want to be certain first." Rain implied she has many pursuers, a few days ago, a mysterious person sent her a bunch of roses. Looks like there is hope that she'll part from single hood.

Today, Raymond Lam appeared at Tseung Kwan O for JSG recording and during the interview, he personally admitted that he is indeed dating 'BB' Karena Ng and praised that she's a good girl. Raymond declared to the media in a serious tone: "All along, I don't explain anything outside of my work, but lately there just has been a lot of reports affecting my loved ones, including her family and my family." Asked if "she" is referring to Karena? He openly admitted: "Yes." As a man, this is the right thing to do. Asked if he's talking about 'BB'? He said: "Yes." And then added: "Earlier the reports got her family involved, which isn't right. The funniest one was the report said I rented a house for her and twisted everyone's impression. I was a little unhappy and very angry." Raymond expressed he has not met Karena's family and no need to comment, he is just doing what a man should, protect the female. He also hoped the public can get the whole thing clear, he stressed Karena's family background is not too bad, therefore don't misunderstand.

From now on, Raymond also hopes the media will stop making up stories. He expressed he didn't make the relationship public before was because it is part of his personal life and not part of work.

He said Karena is a very good girl, when asked if they started dating because they collaborated a film? He said he feels relieved after saying this.

Making this relationship public, wouldn't it upset Raymond's fans? He said expressed he hasn't heard about that, but stressed the most important is honesty and he believes they will send him blessings. He also stressed his company does not bother with his personal life, and avoided the question on whether Virgina Lok sent blessings to him. He just expressed: "I have the ability to make my own decisions and a personal life outside of work."

Asked if Karena BB complained? "Absolutely not." He said he did not tell anyone about making this relationship public, everything is his independent decision. Are they at the stage of cohabiting? He stressed again that they are not cohabiting, nor does the relationship have anything to do with money.

Currently filming in Mainland, Karena's management expressed this is her personal life and hopes to provide an explanation when she gets back to HK. As for what Raymond Lam has said, she agrees.

Raymond Lam's father not happy with Karena Ng

Rumour has it that Raymond Lam's wealthy old man, Lam Kwok Wah, is not happy with his son's continuous spending for his rumoured girlfriend, Karena Ng.

As reported on Popular Asians, rumours are rife that the real-estate developer is doubtful about his son's new relationship with the 19 year-old Karena, as he suspects that she is out for his money.

Raymond's father was wary of Karena Ng's romantic past, as the actress has reportedly cohabitated with Ellen Wong's son, Derek Lim, and was also romantically linked to textile entrepreneur Lam Kin Ming's son, among other wealthy elite men.

An insider revealed, "Raymond's father realized that Karena has had many negative rumours despite her young age. She comes from a modest family and her academic achievements were also average. When Raymond's father saw that his son was taking care of Karena's entire family not long after dating, Mr. Lam was certain on what was truly happening."

The source added, "Since Raymond realised his father had complaints, he has not yet arranged to have his girlfriend meet him."

Last month, the paparazzi reported that Karena Ng has been living in a luxury apartment at the mid-level sections in Hong Kong. Speculating that the actress may not be able to afford the HKD 80,000 rent, rumours started to spread that Raymond has been living with her to pay half the cost.

Although Raymond has since denied the allegations, tabloids discovered that not only has Karena upgraded to luxurious living conditions, her father, Mr. Ng, who works at a roast pork stall, has moved from his previous Shatin residence to take up a 2,000 square feet apartment one block away, with a monthly rent of HKD 90,000 – a monthly cost that seemed irrational for the actress to bear.

Raymond Lam Hears 'Lightning Marriage' Rumor, Sneaks a Sweet Smile

In the past, Raymond Lam takes all of the news targeted towards him calmly, but yesterday when he promoted for his new album at the radio station, he was asked about his latest rumor with Karena Ng. It was rumored the two went through a 'lightning marriage' and he's taking Karena home in Xiamen to meet his family. It was also said his father dislikes Karena and Virgina Lok is trying to break them up. During the short 13 minute interview, Raymond had a lot of small gestures and incoherent speech. He was stuttering through the Q&A session.

-------------------------------------
LF - Raymond Lam ; R - Reporter
-------------------------------------

R: Congrats on your lightning marriage!

LF: (laughs) I just found out when someone sent me a SMS. That's so funny, it's getting way out of control. Why is it like this?

R: Perhaps because you two really match. Already met the parents? Have you printed the wedding invitations yet?

LF: You all just saw Ekin Cheng and Yoyo Mung's secret marriage, and now you're dragging me into it.

R: You look so sweet when BB is mentioned?

LF: (hands together, sweet smile) Huh! Facing you guys, of course I'm smiling, should I be crying then?!

R: Have you thought of getting married soon?

LF: (starts stuttering) Huh, in the past I....you said...no... not related. Really? What are you talking about?

R: It was said you went for a lightning marriage, [Karena] already met your parents in Xiamen?

LF: (pretends to be calm) Huh! No, there are no such plans, that is so funny!

R: No plans, but Karena already met the parents?

LF: (covers face) No, no, no.

Didn't What To Do, Playfully Slaps Reporter

R: Make it clear, are you and Karena really dating? You can just say no, then all the mysteries are uncovered!

LF: (thought for a moment, then covers face) Aiya, I don't know... I don't know.

R: Not sure if it's real?

LF: (smile forms from corner of mouth, covers face for 3rd time and can't sit still) You're killing me.

R: Dating is a happy thing!

LF: (suddenly turns serious) But really, don't get my family involved. Some of the stories are completely ridiculous. Really don't be like that. It's not funny.

R: Dating is the truth? Family not involved is the truth?

LF: (4th time covers face, bitter smile) Aiya!

R: Who is BB? Karena Ng?

LF: (5 second thinking Chok face) Let me go, I mean I hope... just let me go. (rubs eye, continues sweet smile).
[* FYI: Raymond also mentioned sometime in the interview, the "BB" he referred to was his sister's baby.]

R: Be more straightforward, just admit it.

LF: Why are there a chain of interesting rumors lately. First they said I'm quitting, then I'm retiring and now I'm married.

R: What's the truth then?

LF: (smiles sweetly and starts blushing, playfully slaps reporter) I don't know, no....

R: Usually you're face turns black when you talk about these things, but today you're full of smiles.

LF: It's the New Year, shouldn't have a black face. (5th time cover face)

Defends Future In-Laws

R: You're company won't allow you to talk about it?

LF: (eyes get big) No, my company doesn't bother with their artists' family matters.

R: Will you interfere in her (Karena) company?

LF: No,no,no. I don't know , don't ask me.

R: It was rumored your father dislikes BB (Karena)?

LF: (sincere smile, thought for a moment) So that's why I said, the previous reports got my family involved and the stories are so ridiculous.

R: Because you really like her?

LF: (hand on face, speechless)

R: Got BB's family involved, do you feel sorry?

LF: Yeah pretty sorry, because there are a lot of false news, just making up anything. Don't be like that.

R: The BB we're talking about is Karena Ng? Do you have to answer the question again?

LF: Yes, yes. Sorry.

R: Do you have to apologize to Uncle and Auntie?

LF: Yea...help me out, don't make up stories.

No Plans for Valentine's Day

R: Did you already buy the coconuts (used for marriage)?

LF: (super sweet smile) Don't play, you all are forcing me so much I'm planning to retire.

R: How are you spending Valentine's Day?

LF: Didn't think about it, I'm not sure if I have to work on that day.

R: No matter who you are dating, will you make it public?

LF: My personal life had never involved my work life.

R: Does Miss Lok know you're dating?

LF: (serious thought for 5 seconds) If I am dating...she would know, so you ask her.

Raymond Lam Exhausted from Concert Dance Rehearsals

Last night, Raymond Lam was rehearsing for his HK Coliseum concert A TIME 4 YOU held this Saturday (1/27th). This is his 4th HK Coliseum concert, but after he finishes this concert, he will temporarily say goodbye to the stage and take 1-2 year break from the music scene. In order to leave the most perfect "Fung" moments to his fans, Raymond has been rehearsing his singing and dancing from morning to night. That day, Mainland actress Eva Huang made a special trip to visit and support Raymond at the recording studio. The two had previously collaborated in a film before and once they met, they were chatting nonstop. They're such good buddies!

Raymond revealed this time, he'll be showing off his dancing skills on the stage. Just the dance rehearsal took away all his physical energy, he said: "This time, there will be a lot of dances. After the dance rehearsals, in the evenings, I go to the band rehearsals. I just felt like I didn't have much physical energy left and just had to eat beef flank rice. I was eating and rehearsing at the same time." He joked he's afraid he might faint when he gets on stage: "After so many years, this is the one time where I had to use the most physical strength. (Are you worried you might get fat from eating so much?) If I don't eat, then I'll really collapse on the stage."

As for his guest performers, Raymond revealed he invited Taiwanese boy band LOLLIPOP F as guests for his first show. He said: "Because earlier at the music awards, I had a good time chatting with them. Also, they are a dance group, I'm quite familiar with one of the members A-Wei (Wayne). Before when I was working in Hengdian, he was in Hengdian too and I told him to come play with us." When asked if its because Lollipop F helped him take the "Asian-Pacific Most Popular Male Singer" award, so he's returning a favor and invited them to his concert? Raymond immediately denied: "A-Wei and I have always been in touch. Six months ago, I already suggested to my company to invite them. I have a lot of dancing parts in the concert, and they're a dance group, so there should be quite of bit of sparks." Asked if he invited rumored girlfriend Karena Ng to watch the show? Raymond frankly expressed he did: "I've invited everyone who I know within the industry."

Raymond Lam Defends Karena Ng: "Don't Write About Her Like That"; Denies Cohabiting Rumor

Yesterday Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui were invited to the watch brand Ernest Borel's store opening. Recently Raymond has been preparing for his HK coliseum concert, but that doesn't stop his rumors. It was rumored he and 19 year old Karena Ng have been cohabiting in Mid-Level, Hong Kong. That day when Raymond won JSG's "Most Popular Male Singer" award, he thanked "BB" on stage. It was said the "BB" Raymond referred to was Karena. In regards to this, Raymond came prepared and asked reporters: "Don't you guys have a rumor to ask me about?" He reiterated that he and Karena are just friends and the rumor is completely false. "I was a little frightened myself when I saw the headline. I have never been to the location shown in the published photos nor have I seen that place before. (Are you renting a place for her?) No, I basically don't know what's happening! Thank you to the magazines for helping me promote for my concert, but I don't want this kind of publicity. Let me make a fair statement, I've been a newcomer myself, I hope the media don't write about her like that and twist the truth. That is so miserable!" Raymond generously responded to the rumors and defended Karena, "I've been a newcomer before too. Newcomers will have all kinds of news, but this society needs positive energy. Don't write stories that we don't even know about!"

Raymond clarified the "BB" he thanked at the JSG awards was just a member in his family. When speaking of Karena praising that he looks the most Chok when he's sleeping? Raymond did not deny and said: "I've filmed with her before and we have break times in between, so of course she's seen me sleep before. I'm used to sleeping a stabled position and won't m[/quote]ove around too much."

Kate appeared in a red low-cut dress and did not hesitate to bend down to dot the lion dance. It was rumored because of the Mainland permission issues, the Lunar New Year film I Love Hong Kong 2013 will have to delay its release for 2 weeks. When Kate heard this, she was very surprised and shouted: "Really?! I haven't heard of that rumor before, but this news is terrifying because I actually have more screen time then previous years. I hope this news isn't true, the Mainland market is very important."

Raymond Lam and Michelle Ye's dating rumours resurface

Once dubbed as Hong Kong's 'Golden Couple', dating rumours between TVB artistes Raymond Lam and Michelle Ye reignited after they were seen teasing each other while filming their new drama.

Reuniting as an onscreen couple for the third time, the pair showed their good chemistry through their close interactions off cameras.

According to the Hong Kong media, Legend of the Purple Hairpin, a period show which features the both of them, is produced by Michelle. She even forked out RMB$4 million (about SGD $790,000) to get Raymond on board as lead actor.

It is also said that the 32-year-old actress who usually puts on a serious front with other actors and the production crew is exceptionally caring and gentle towards Raymond. Michelle even behaved like his girlfriend through small actions such as helping Raymond to tidy his costume.
