Shirley Yeung suffers from postpartum depression

Shirley Yeung was 2001's Miss Hong Kong, yesterday TVB hosted the Miss Hong Kong 2012 Recruit promotional event and Virgina Lok invited her to attend as well, but she turned down the offer because she was sick. Virgina had always given her full support to Shirley ever since the news broke out that Shirley was an unmarried mother. When Shirley brought her daughter with her back to HK, Virgina made a special early trip to the airport to pick her up and assisted her in handling the media. Several days after Shirley's return to HK, she had been avoiding reporters and even avoided her manager. Yesterday when Virgina mentioned Shirley's current situation, she was very worried and hoped she can get back up and face the problem, then get back to work.

Shirley has been suffering from the flu for 8 days now, Virgina invited her out for breakfast once, but she didn't go. She said she talked to Shirley over the phone, and believed she's feeling emotional, upset and may perhaps have postpartum depression. Initially, Virgina wanted to meet with her as soon as possible, so her problems could be resolved, and also discuss of her upcoming work schedule, but because of her flu, Shirley has not been back at TVB. After Virgina found out about Shirley's situation, she suggested that she go see the doctor, but she only responded that she can do that.

Virgina frankly said she is worried about Shirley, "Initially I told her to attend the event today, so she can come and out and see everyone, but she's so sick she can't get up However, her voice wasn't hoarse over the phone, I just feel she has some depression, postpartum depression and should see the doctor." Her parents are currently helping her look after baby Krystal and whenever Shirley's manager has documents for her, her father would be the one accepting them on her behalf. She is still emotionally down and aside from advising Shirley to see the doctor, Virgina hopes she can get back up again and get back into work, distracting herself from the emotions is the best treatment. Virgina continued: "Shirley doesn't want to see anyone. when I invited her out for breakfast, she couldn't even do that. I do feel a little frustrated seeing her like this, but at the same time I feel she's very miserable. There are somethings we must discuss and resolve. I'm not close with her mother either, so it's difficult to handle."

As Shirley is currently news worthy and draws attention, she has been invited to take part in shopping mall events as well as stage performances. Virgina said jobs are under discussion, but as of now, she will have to see what Shirley's condition is. Up until today, no contract has been signed. Virgina is worried that Shirley may be unstable and that she may need to compensate for the losses, so all along no jobs have been confirmed for her. The highest possible first job after Shirley's pregnancy is a shopping mall promotional event, the 'comeback' is also especially meaningful to her.

After Shirley had her daughter, she decided to go back to HK and get back to work, hoping for to achieve something. That's probably why she decided to announce the good news about her daughter and even shared a photo with the public. However, due to the earlier incident where she first broke up with long time boyfriend Gregory Lee, hooked up with new love interest Andy Ng and then denying that she was pregnant, her reputation turned negative since then. To Shirley, a comeback must be a great impacton her. The other day, it was rumored when Shirley and Andy were together, Andy had another girlfriend in Mainland, and said that Shirley's mother often urged Shirley to buy a home with Andy. The negative rumors indeed has been troubling Shirley. Since she posted a photo of her and her baby on Weibo after returning to HK, Shirley started isolating herself and didn't post again.

Selina Jen refuses to forgive director Chen Ming Zhang

It has been more than one year since S.H.E member Selina Jen suffered from third-degree burns, after an accident occurred on the set of now-axed drama I Have a Date with Spring back in 2010.

While she's on the road to recovery, scoring her first solo endorsement since the accident, Selina has yet to forget what had happened.

At the press conference to announce her endorsement of a beauty product, Selina joked nervously, "I'm so nervous, [because] there are so many people. Who are you trying to scare?" The 31-year-old, clad in a knee-length white dress with long sleeves, later continued her interview while sitting down, because she is unable to stand for a long time.

When asked if she had forgiven Chen Ming Zhang, the director of I Have a Date with Spring, who had asked her to film the explosion scene without using a stunt double, Selina began to tear.

The singer did not say if she had "forgiven" the director, but told reporters that she had spoken to her husband Richard Chang about it a few days ago. Richard told her that a professional actress would not reject a director's request.

"Richard kept comforting me, telling me he'd do the same (not use a stunt double) if it's him. However, I feel that everyone should protect themselves," Selina said. A staff member with Selina later expressed that it is too difficult for Selina "to forgive" now.

Selina's record label HIM International had said that the director and stunt director had assured Selina all will be well when she voiced her concerns before the shoot.

HIM International added that Selina's psychiatrist encouraged her to face up to her fears and hoped that the singer could heal her mental scars through crying.

Bernice Liu tells all about messy breakup with

Hong Kong actress Bernice Liu was portrayed by the Hong Kong media as a gold digger who broke her then-boyfriend Moses Chan's heart, and started dating wealthy businessman Alistair Lam last year.

However, the actress revealed in a recent magazine interview that this version of how her relationship with Chan ended is very far from the truth, reported Hong Kong media.

Liu claimed that it was Chan who unilaterally started talking about how he once dated and had broken up with her, just when she was about to undergo an operation for a nasty waist injury that could have potentially ended her career.

Then the rumours of her leaving him for Lam began.

"I was deeply troubled. In addition, my body chose to sound off alarm bells at the time, and I was lying in hospital preparing for a big operation.

"But he publicly addressed our relationship with the phrase 'the past has already passed'. Honestly, I was shocked at the time," said Liu, pointing out that she could not actively respond to the rumours about her due to her injury.

She added that she had not gone public about her relationship with Chan at the time, and was puzzled why the actor would talk to the press about it.

When asked if she is still upset with Chan over the matter, Liu said she is "not disappointed in this person (Chan) because everyone holds different views and acts in different ways".

Chan has since gone on to date Hong Kong actress Aimee Chan.

Liu on the other hand, denied that she and Lam are an item, but became coy when quizzed about whether Lam is currently one of her suitors.

"You'll have to ask the person in question," said Liu.

Netizens regret supporting Vincent Zhao

Several celebrities had since become involved in kungfu superstars Donnie Yen and Vincent Zhao's dispute, which reportedly happened after the two fell out with each other on the set of their new movie Special Identity.

Following the incident, Vincent's fans and netizens had shown their support for the actor. However, they have now regretted their actions after discovering that Vincent's four-year-old daughter holds a US passport. Netizens exclaimed that they "wasted efforts" in supporting the actor.

Vincent married Chinese actress Zhang Danlu in 2006, and the couple have two children. Their four-year-old daughter Zhao Zi Yang has the same name as a former General Secretary of China's Communist Party, while his song Zhao Zi Long shares the same name with a famed general from the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Vincent responded to the report, "The name Zi Yang was chosen by a fortune teller. We felt that the name was a little sensitive, but decided to go ahead with it, for the good of our daughter."

The actor also commented on netizens' anger which came after the discovery that his daughter is a US citizen. He explained that Zi Yang had gotten the citizenship because she was born there, while his son was born in Hong Kong. Vincent then emphasised that he is of Chinese nationality.

Recently, it was rumoured that Danlu had paid people to bombard actress Shu Qi on her microblog, causing her to shut the blog down entirely, but the actor insisted that he "did not hire anyone".

Kenneth Ma no taste in fashion, Tavia Yeung takes him out clothes shopping

Last night Norman Leung hosted a celebration dinner for the cast and crew of TVB series The Hippocratic Crush and announced that there will be a sequel. Lead actor and actress Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung are currently busy shooting for pre-modern series Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles and attended in their costumes.

Kenneth Ma has been accepting series after series, but he modestly said it's not much of a harvest. It is all thanks to THC's high ratings that he got more public event job opportunities and is another source of income. He hopes to save enough money to get a bigger house. When reporters teased him asking if he needs a 'golden house to keep a mistress'? Kenneth jokingly said: "If I'm rich, I don't mind. I want a bigger house, enough for 7 people to live in. This is for the convenience of my sister bringing her two children to visit us, and have more room to move around." Kenneth also believed that home investment is far more practical and valued than having famous cars or watches.

Earlier Lawrence Ng publicly praised Kenneth's good acting. Kenneth thanked 'Ching Ji Mei' (Lawrence's role in Healing Hands) for his appreciation. "I thought he didn't watch. Actually Healing Hands's Dr. Ching Ji Mei is an icon. This time, our doctor roles are more on the greater scale, different from their type." Kevin Cheng also praised that he has hope for the TV King title this year. Kenneth was very grateful: "Have to really thank this big brother, he loves me a lot too. Often times, he gives me advice on what to wear and the way I dress. He also told me he'll take me along to develop in Mainland." When speaking of him lacking a female companion to dress him up? Kenneth claimed that Tavia should take him out for clothes shopping because there will be a discount. He laughed and said this is what Tavia suggested, so he's not worried to be called the 'light bulb' between Tavia and Him Law.

Tavia teased Kenneth's outfit that he looks like a waiter and told him to put on a suit jacket: "Today, he initially came here without the suit jacket. It was only when I said he's always looking like a waiter, that he put that jacket on." Tavia continued to tease her partner: "He has everything, he has a house, he has the acting, but he just doesn't have any taste in fashion. He really needs to change his image, in order to reach the a higher level. Although I don't really have much knowledge on fashion myself, but as a friend I'm not trying to bash him, just giving advice and trying to help him. He is happy to accept any advice, just not many people tell him. (But he has no girl?) Leave it to fate." Tavia also said she doesn't mind taking Kenneth out to shop for clothes, just as long as time allows her to do so.

TVB is heavily promoting her, as she is casted in series after series, next month she'll be starting on new series A Chip off the Old Block II and will 'continue fate' with Him Law. In the series she plays a renovation worker girl, and to gain deeper knowledge in the role, Mandy especially took out some time before filming starts to learn how to remodel homes from her relative, who actually works as a renovation worker in real life. As Mandy does not have any knowledge on renovation, she will have to start from the very beginning and work her way up.

On her first 'lesson', Mandy learned how to walk the wooden ladder. Her relative took the lead and demonstrated for her first. She saw her relative clamping his two legs to the ladder, and walked while sitting on the ladder with ease. During the time, he was even walking with he ladder as he painted the walls, looking very relaxed. Mandy misunderstood and thought it was a piece of cake, and before she knew it, she was injured instantly when it was her turn. Mandy appeared having a very difficult time walking the ladder, and called for help from her relative: "Why can't I move it?" Her relative saw her struggling and went forward to attentively explain to her how it works. He taught her the tricks to holding the ladder with her legs and walking with it.

After all the hard work, Mandy barely took a step while sitting on the ladder. Although she only made little progress, she was still very happy. Then Mandy just took the ladder home with her and will be moving around with the ladder at home every day. She laughed: "It looks easy, but in reality it's so difficult, so I practiced for several days. My thighs are all sore, but that's ok! How will there be any achievements if there are no effort put into it! I'll just treat this as homework, must accomplish it. No matter what difficulty I encounter, I must overcome!"

Alien Huang willing to do household chores for his girl

It's been a month since Taiwanese singer-actor Alien Huang arrived in Singapore to film upcoming Ch8 drama Joys of Life.

Alien, who usually can't bear the heat, has been adapting surprisingly well to the local weather. During a group interview for the promotion of his latest album Break Heart Black Heart, the singer shared that although he enjoyed the local delicacies, he hasn't had a chance to explore the city due to his filming schedule.

When asked if he was exhausted from his busy schedule, Alien let on that he prefers spending time alone such as watching DVDs, drawing and writing lyrics.

The singer also added that he loves to arrange his things neatly and would also vacuum his bed and sofa regularly to prevent dirt from building up.

Back at home in Taiwan, Alien would often stand and admire his day's work after cleaning and arranging his toys in the cupboard. While he admitted to enjoying doing household chores like these, the singer denied to having obsessive compulsive disorder.

When asked if he would accept a sloppy girl who does not like to do housework, Alien, who felt that "feelings are the most important" to him, surprisingly said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't create a mess. You can choose not to do it, I'll do it."

The singer, who is also a host on Taiwanese entertainment programme 100% Entertainment, shared that he had visited a few actresses' houses while hosting the show, and realised they loved piling clothes on their beds and covering them with their blankets, which was something he could not accept.

Alien also did not like people who eat in their beds because he felt that one should only touch the bed after a bath.

"You can be like that in your own house, but you cannot do so in mine. If you come to my place, I have an area for you to put your things. You can place them however you want, but only in that area," he emphasised but added that this is merely his personal hygiene habit.

It had been two years since the singer released an album. When talking about the four self-written compositions in the album, Alien shared that he began writing lyrics when he was still in school. Then, he would study the works of other experienced lyricists, hoping to be like them.

"After I'm done writing [the lyrics], I'd remember that I'm the one singing [the songs]. Sometimes I think I brought it upon myself [by writing these tongue-twisting lyrics] as I find it difficult to memorise the lyrics," he said.

Alien added that the most difficult song to pen was 'Black Heart', because the theme was already decided by his record label beforehand, and he had spent a long time working on the song.

This album contains 'bitter love songs' that would often bring back memories of his past love including unhappy ones, according to the singer.

Alien hopes that his songs would help his listeners get through their broken hearts and move on from their previous relationships.

When asked if he had become a spiritual therapist, Alien laughed, "I wouldn't say I am, but each of us has our own set of experiences to share. It doesn't matter how strong you are, because you'll definitely have your weak moments when you're in love. Superman had fallen out of love before; no matter how strong you are, you don't have the strength to open that memories-filled drawer."

Break Heart Black Heart is now on sale.

Shu Qi heartbroken: "The Past is not a Scar"

Vincent Zhao's fans attacked Shu Qi by reposting her old nude photos online after she supported Donnie Yen on Weibo that he's a professional and serious actor. This resulted in Shu Qi deleting all of her Weibo entries as well as her list of Following. She suffered great emotional impact and wrote about her thoughts in an article: "The past is not a scar." Unfortunately, that didn't settle the disputes, yesterday even Carina Lau was drawn into the situation because it was discovered that she downloaded the 'Shu Qi's Photos' file during the sensitive period and so Netizens teased that she's gossiping, "curiosity kills the cat". Vincent Zhao also publicly stressed on Weibo of his innocence, that he did not hire an 'online thug' to attack people.

The other night, a Weibo entry: "I just discovered a very good document 'Shu Qi zip' (舒淇zip), I recommend that you go take a look." appeared on Carina's Weibo. This entry means she downloaded the file containing Shu Qi's photos, and at the time the message quickly spread. Perhaps even she didn't even know. Soon after, Netizens teased that she's gossiping and started taking her film Curiosity Kills the Cat to joke with. Netizens criticized that she's doing the wrong things during a sensitive period. Carina later deleted that entry.

Being attacked, Shu Qi feels disturb and hurt, so she decided to quit Weibo. Yesterday morning, she wrote an article Back to the Source of Simplicity on her official website. This was a response to the Weibo incident. In the article she refers herself as "she". The following is an excerpt of Shu Qi's article. She helplessly wrote: "The simplest source, is to still have a personal shop, a comfortable shop. In fact she is very heartbroken, after all that was just like her log of feelings. Unfortunately some people, including herself, will always has a dark side."

"Relax, she's well and yet is unwell. She is thankful of the people that has hurt her, allowing her to continuously learn and grow. Although the process was painful, extremely hard to bear, but it still must get by! Thanks to all the people who don't like her, allowing her to actually feel the truth and really reflect on the direction of life. Now ending Weibo, she's not worried her life will slowly be unrecognized, but rather her pipeline of wanting to help people in the future loses a direction."

Regarding her past, Shu Qi writes: "She does not care about any of the comments whatsoever. In the last 17 years, all the disturbances, great winds and waves, life or death moments, she was still able to get through them. Thanks to all those people who have helped her. The past isn't a scar to her, it is a story that tells how she came along. I think she feels proud. Hopefully the future world, the positive energy can overpower the negative. In the meantime, she's a little weak and embarrassed! But please rest assure, just with a little time, she will be able to get through it. I believe she will be a strong heroine very soon!" To end, Shu Qi thanked her fans for their loyalty.

After the Shu Qi Weibo incident good friend Donnie apologized to her and other friends who were dragged into the situation through Weibo. As for Vincent, he also clarified on Weibo that he did not hire an 'online thug' to clean out Shu Qi's Weibo. He even urged Weibo's technical staff to publicize that Netizen's IP address to prove that he's innocent. Vincent insisted that he looks forward to another collaboration with Shu Qi as well.

Not long after 29 year old JJ Jia's debut, she was seen as the Goddess among the 'House Boys', but too bad she only loves 28 year old TVB artist Sammy Shum, known as the 'mountain bandit version of Louis Koo'. Recently, Sammy's career is on the rise as he is seen on the sitcom Til Love Do Us Lie paired with Raymond Lam's cousin Lin Xiawei. JJ and Sammy sparked love in 2010 when they were shooting a travel show together. Although JJ earns a higher income than Sammy, she does not hesitate to fork out her own wallet to help her boyfriend, whom she had not been dating for long. She pays for the rent at the Serenity Place, Tseung Kwan O, where she cohabits with Sammy.

The other day JJ had a day off, so she and her boyfriend went out dating in Sai Kung. To avoid being recognized, JJ was very careful, having thick framed glasses on, a hat and a jacket to hide her nice body figure. JJ and Sammy, who also had a cap on, stepped into an Italian restaurant at around 6pm and sat at a table in the dark corner for dinner. However, the couple were already the center of attention to other customers as soon as they appeared in the restaurant. The couple had a huge feast with 5 large dishes on the table. With her boyfriend around, JJ comfortably ate as much as she wanted and cleaned all the dishes from the table. During the time, the two chatted sweetly and because Sammy feared the dinner wasn't filling enough for his girlfriend, he ordered to-go before getting the bill.

Jin Akanishi’s Japan tour cancelled as penalty for marrying without telling agency

No national tour, paying fines out of his own pocket, and no jobs for the time being is the price Jin Akanishi has to pay for getting married without permission, it was announced on March 24, reports Sports Hochi and Nikkan Sports.

“I understand that as a working adult I have acted irresponsibly. I deeply apologise to my fans and the people I work with for all of the trouble I have caused,” Akanishi said in a written statement.

It has been reported Akanishi had married actress Meisa Kuroki in February, only telling his agency about it afterwards. Johnny’s however, were not impressed. The agency’s president Johnny Kitagawa had previously told reporters he had found out about the marriage on the news, and although getting married was a great thing, he said Akanishi should have thought twice about the consequences the news would have on his and Kuroki’s career.

As a penalty, his Japan tour which was supposed to go around Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo and Fukuoka has been cancelled. Any fines, such as for canceling concert venue bookings, will be paid out of Akanishi’s own pockets. While the talent will not have to refund fans for their tickets since they have not gone on sale, arena concert venues typically charge one to two-million yen for canceling a booking. In a worst case scenario, Akanishi would need to pay tens-of-millions-of-yen. It has been reported the talent has also had some drama roles offered to him, including a role in the upcoming remake of “GTO” planned for July, but the agency has not accepted anything yet, emphasizing the talent’s schedule remains. The penalty given to him reflects the trouble caused to Kuroki’s agency, their sponsors, and his own agency. “Johnny’s & Associates talent Jin Akanishi admits the press reports from February 9 are true and that he married on Feburary 2. Akanishi has sent a fax to those who are concerned explaining the situation,” a representative from Johnny’s said.

Linda Chung's shower commercials is enough to buy a new home

Linda Chung is known as a frugal and hardworking artist. Lately, since she has finally paid off all her 'series debt' (break from filming), she quickly goes out to earn some extra income. Within these two months, she had four endorsements and has pocketed over HK$1 million. The other day, under the some 10 degree C temperatures, Linda was shooting a shower gel commercial for 6 figures. She just had a thin and short white dress on for the shoot and had to run away in the open field with a little girl. She conveyed a natural and healthy message.

Since it was Linda's first time meeting the little girl, she brought her candy and toys. Although Linda had to withstand the cold and please the little girl, she did not once ask for a break. However, the company arranged a personal makeup car for her to use. Then Linda was shooting a showering scene, where she showed off her shoulders and legs for 3 hours!

Linda claimed she's a fan of this brand, and this is the sexiest commercial that she has done since she debuted. Earlier, she especially looked after her body to display the most beautiful skin for the shoot. She said: "Recently, I've been doing a lot of aerobics. I went for several classes in the last two months and now I'm better spirited and feel healthier. I pay particular attention to showering, and the shower gel must let out a fresh scent. I rehearse my lines and sing in the shower!"

As she has been rapidly earning extra income and becoming a little queen of endorsements, Linda didn't deny: "I will shoot any commercial! Most important is to earn money! Although I already have a home, I hope to buy another one this year! (Buy a 'Gu Por' Home?) Haha! Of course a 'brick' is a stronger safeguard. I hope to earn enough to buy another home by the end of this year!"

Moses Chan: Marrying Aimee Chan in 2 Years

Within Aimee Chan's love dictionary, Moses Chan is defined as her exclusive 'best deal' (seun poon). Likewise, in Moses' dictionary, he equally hopes to be with Aimee forever. Moses claims he's a traditional man, and understands how wonderful it is when fate comes. He promises to give Aimee a status within 2 years.

(Moses speaks ...)

I won't compare the differences between my romances from the past and present. After all, a relationship must not be distinguished from right or wrong just by a few words. I will just look into the future and move forward. Whatever happened in the past, whether if its my career or love life, I really believe to just let it be since it's the past. However, I am honestly happier than before. I am very happy to be with Aimee. People say I'm the 'best deal', but in reality you all are just thinking too highly of me. I'm just like any other traditional man. I believe a man should be responsible for everything he does and should really take good care of his other half, giving his girlfriend someone to rely on and sense of security. These qualities are very important. I have my weaknesses too and I am still learning on how to be a good boyfriend because every individual will have a time where they make mistakes. It's just a matter of how much tolerance we have for each other.

Two Minds Interlinked

In my heart, Aimee is a very sweet girl. My first impression on her was very good, and also we have common interests. For example, I enjoy studying coffee and Aimee does too. Coffee is often a topic we talk about. Most important is our thoughts are the same, sometimes we don't have to explain and it seems like we already understand what the other is thinking. It's been less than a year since we started dating, but many people are even more rushed than we are, telling us to get marry soon. Aimee and I do indeed have consensus, we hope to take it slow with no pressure, and allow our relationship to get even better first. I know status is very important to a woman, but I will add oil! Actually I will give her status because the coffee shop that I opened with a friend in Malaysia closed, and I currently have plans to open another one in HK within 2 years. If I really can open a coffee shop in HK, I hope to make her the female boss and let her handle all the finances. This is currently my promise to her. As for myself, of course I will personally put more research into the coffee. Hopefully my dream comes true!

Relationship is 'brewing'

Many people know I like to drink coffee, and before when I traveled to different parts of the world to shoot the second season of my coffee program Coffee Confidential, I actually started to love the coffee that I brew even more. I learned a lot of the manufacturing processes. Whether a cup of coffee is good or bad, it is all made by me, even if it doesn't taste good, I suffer it myself. If I had to describe my relationship with Aimee through this process, the first image that comes to mind is "brewing", haha! Actually, I won't use coffee to describe her, I will never keep coffee that I brewed for more than two weeks because it will spoil, but my love will not change!

Refuses being an on-screen couple

There is another thing we both agreed that we don't want to do, that is to shoot a series as a couple. I talked to her about this, we both don't really want to see this happen. Honestly speaking, in the eyes of viewers, I don't think they want to see a real life couple be in a series. If we had to get intimate on screen, I would refuse because I want to keep work and personal life separate. If we mix work and personal life together, it's going to be hard to focus. I would have no confidence in my performance.

(Interview ends...)

As Moses' girlfriend, how does Aimee think of her 'showbiz's best deal' boyfriend? Aimee attended an event earlier and sweetly smiled: "He's a gentleman and very attentive. I feel very comfortable being with him!"

Since Aimee's parents both live in Canada, they have not had the chance to interview this future son-in-law, but a month ago, Aimee's brother came to Hong Kong and met with Moses. When asked of her brother's impression on his future brother-in-law? Aimee laughed: "My brother had dinner with Moses and toured HK. However, I have no details of his impression!" When speaking of Moses wanting to open a coffee shop in HK and make her his female boss, Aimee just smiled sweetly and did not comment.

Jo Kwon reveals why he never dated during his 8 years as a trainee

On the March 22nd broadcast of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Star Life Theater‘, 2AM‘s Jo Kwon revealed the reason behind why he never dated during his 8 long years as a trainee.

The singer visited where junior trainees were gathered and gave them advice based on his experience as a trainee.

“I had never dated during my 8 years of trainee days,” he said. “In fact, seeds of love start to sprout during trainee days. There was this one girl during my trainee days who had feelings for me, but I told her ‘we shouldn’t be like this. We’re about to debut soon. You stepped foot in here because your dream was to become a singer, just like I did. But if we date and end up getting caught, what do you think will happen?‘”

Jo Kwon then began reminiscing about the time when he debuted saying, “I’m very realistic. I never really had interest in dating, and only had thoughts of wanting to debut quickly. Once I debuted under 2AM after 8 long years and appeared on stage, that’s when I heard the cheers coming to us from so many people. The feeling you get at that moment is something I can’t describe in words.”

He continued, “That’s the reason why I’m still a singer. I don’t need anything else. The moment I stand on stage, my heart begins to race uncontrollably. When I see fans cheering while holding up placards and our light sticks, I couldn’t be any happier.”

Ella Chen hopes Hebe Tien will find her true love too

Now that S.H.E member Ella Chen has found true love, she hoped the same would happen to good friend and band mate Hebe Tien.

Ella, together with her Malaysian fiancé Alvin Lai, headed to Guam Island over the weekend with an entourage of 30 people for her wedding photo shoot. Once there, the group visited the various tourist attractions, including Lovers' Cliff, which was Ella's favourite destination. This place is one of the must-visit places for couples on their honeymoon, because according to the island's legend, couples who ring the bell, found on the top of the cliff, three times, will have a long and happy life together.

The singer, who believed in the legend, made her fiancé ring the bell together, before she and Hebe rang the bell together again, hoping that the latter could share her happiness.

There was also a special place on the cliff where couples can write their names on locks and have them locked there, symbolising 'together forever'. There, Ella found a couple lock inscribed with the phrase "Sunshine Hebe" and exclaimed that it "is a good omen. I hope Hebe will find her true love too".

That night, the group enjoyed a dinner by the beach, and was watching a samba dance performance, when Ella and Alvin were asked to join in the dance on stage. Ella, who is known for her bubbly character, shook and twisted with all her might; on the other hand, Alvin did not know what he should do, tickling everyone present with his awkwardness on stage.

JYJ sues Korean news website over "malicious" article

Korean boy band JYJ's management company C-JeS Entertainment announced in a press statement on Tuesday that it would sue a Korean news website which recently published an article that claimed JYJ verbally abused and hit their obsessive "sasaeng" fans, reported Korean media.

C-JeS Entertainment said the article, which portrayed JYJ as aggressors who tried to pass themselves off as victims, had defamed JYJ, and called it "a malicious, sensational article designed to attack the band", adding that they were "left with no other option but to sue".

The company also took issue with an audio recording the website claimed was of JYJ members verbally abusing and possibly hitting their "sasaeng" fans, which accompanied the article.

A C-JeS Entertainment lawyer pointed out in the press statement that the news website had flouted both defamation and privacy laws by "uploading an illegally recorded audio clip", and attributing it to JYJ "without any verification".

According to C-JeS Entertainment, this whole matter had further upset JYJ, who are still reeling from the passing of JYJ member Park Yoochun's father last week, when the band was on its way back to Korea after their performances in South America.

Celebs take sides as Donnie Yen, Vincent Zhao feud escalates

The ongoing feud between Hong Kong action star Donnie Yen and Chinese martial arts actor Vincent Chiu has escalated recently, with Yen suing Chiu for making false claims about his conduct on the set of Yen's new action film "Special Identity".

As things heat up, celebrities in Hong Kong and China have also begun taking sides in the conflict.

Stars like Hong Kong actresses Shu Qi and Kara Hui expressed their support for Yen, while others like Hong Kong veteran action star Yuen Wah and Chinese actress Xu Jiao spoke out in support of Chiu, reported Hong Kong media.

"Donnie Yen is very serious in whatever he does and thinks of ways to make sure every single frame is perfect.

"Even when the weather is cold and he is shivering, cramping up, when he hears 'Action', Donnie Yen will immediately perform without a single word of complaint," said Shu Qi, who had worked with Yen in 2011's "Legend of the Fist", over her micro blog.

"Donnie, I have known you since you were young, I know you are passionate about film and have high expectations of yourself.

"I hope you won't be affected by all these controversies. Keep going!" said Hui, who had worked with Yen in 2011's "Wu Xia" in a micro blog post.

Hong Kong actor Chapman Toh and director Wong Jing have expressed their support for Yen as well, but Chiu too has his supporters.

"I worked with Vincent Chiu on 'Wu Dang' and feel that he is very enthusiastic about his work, personable … I believe Instructor Chiu, strongly support him!" said "CJ7" star, Chinese actress Xu Jiao.

Yuen Wah, who had appeared in countless Hong Kong action films, echoed Xu's sentiments and backed Chiu.

Chiu himself has since dug in his heels and declared that he is ready to fight it out with Yen in court, even if this spat causes irreparable damage to his acting career.

"All ten properties I bought at a low price in Beijing are now worth six times more.

"Even if I stop working, I won't have any difficulty getting by," Chiu told the media recently, in response to Yen's announcement that he would take Chiu to court.

"This issue affects my reputation. I must get justice, because they have insulted my professionalism."
