Lee Young-Ae enjoys motherhood

Lee Young-ae is enjoying herself raising her twin babies, she told Woman Chosun monthly. The actress disappeared from the limelight after suddenly announcing her marriage in 2009.

"I had a very fulfilling professional life in my 20s and 30s," Lee said. "But I began to feel as if I was climbing one mountain after another. When I was satisfied with how I spent my 20s and 30s, I realized it was time to get married."

Lee, who was photographed with her husband and twin babies to raise money for sick children, said she has been breast-feeding her babies for the past year, and her daughter is still being breast-fed. "I want my babies to have healthy food," she said. "I ate a lot of abalones while I was pregnant because people say they're good for pregnant women, and that's probably why my babies like abalone porridge."

In June, she is to move to a new home close to the woods and a valley in order to raise her kids in a healthy environment. "I plan to live there with my children until they go to school," Lee said.

She also spoke about her husband. "I respect him because he is always by my side. Now we're married I'm pleased that I can go out with him and hold hands with him in public."

The actress has no plans to return to the silver screen yet. "I'm still tempted when I get a request to be in a really good production, but I think there's nothing more valuable than to watch my children grow and to cherish that experience," she said.

Chapman To obediently diligently meditates to recover

Chapman To is ill with "Miller Fisher Syndrome" and is currently recovering at home. His wife Kristal Tin returned from mainland to Hong Kong on April 28 to take care of him. The day before yesterday with the accompaniment of his wife, Chapman To went for a walk outdoors to take in the sunshine, their hands intertwined in mutual love.

During an interview, Chapman To stated that he has not left home for 5 days and is taking strolls outside his room for a short while with the accompaniment of his "private nurse" (his wife) and the weather is great. The doctor repeatedly urged him that while recuperating at home, besides taking medicine at fixed times, meditating is also very important, because meditating is able to regulate the body and mind to reach its best state.

Kristal Tin stated: "My husband is very obedient, listens very well to what the doctor said, and has been meditating in the morning, at noon, and in the evening." In a little while, she will have to return back to mainland to work and will thus be unable to accompany her husband for future doctor visits.

Jay Chou to accept Christianity for Hannah Quinlivan

Under the influence of his rumoured 19-year-old girlfriend Hannah Quinlivan, it is rumoured that Taiwanese singer Jay Chou will be undergoing baptism to be a Christian this year.

It is known that the superstar started coming in contact with the religion after he got to know Hannah who is a devoted Christian. The pair was spotted going for a confession session two weeks ago to repent for the paparazzi incident where the singer was photographed hitting reporters.

The singer, whose good friend Will Liu is in the same church as Hannah, also recorded a video for the church's Jesus Fashion Revolution concert. Jay was quoted asking his fans to go crazy for Jesus with him, saying that "Jesus fashion is the most popular belief" and it is the "most fashionable worship" in the video.

Linda returns to HK, says relationship with Phillip Ng is "Peaceful"

Linda attended a jewelry function today (26th April) after recently returning to Hong Kong from Canada. Linda revealed that she celebrated her birthday with her family and friends in Canada. Reporters ask if her friends around have already gotten married, and she replied saying, “Many of them are already married, some of them are even considering having their second child, but of course there are some who are still single.”

Reporters ask if her family is rushing her to get married, and Linda said, “My mum does not rush me actually, but it is my friends who are rushing me instead, asking me to get married quickly, recalling times during my secondary school days where we would guess who would be the first to get married. At that time, they guess that I would be the one who will get married first, as I was rather soft spoken and they considered me to be the most dependent and reliant one. But now I’m not sure if I’ll be the last one *cries*”.

Reporters question again if she ever thought about getting married with Phillip Ng, she said, “This rumour has been spread for many years, and has been said for so many times, so I don’t have anything special to respond this time. I guess it’s because Daddy Good Deeds was airing, and thus a wide range of news will surface during that time. However, after I’ve been in this industry I’ve learnt to accept this sort of news. It doesn’t matter; I’ll just treat it as promotion for this drama, and also free promotion for myself considering that I’ve been away from Hong Kong for the past month. I don’t have to go for interviews, haha.”

Reporters continue to discuss Phillip Ng, asking “so what is the relationship between the both of you now?” Linda says that “It is still a peaceful relationship. As for our relationship in our private lives I don’t wish to respond too much about it, as it is not important. I believe that in relationships between me and my friends or my family, it is ok that only both parties understand.”

Ella Chen: Hebe Tien is too rational to fall in love

It has been a decade since Taiwanese girl group S.H.E. joined showbiz. While Ella Chen and Selina Jen have found the love of their life, Hebe Tien, the youngest member of the trio, remains a bachelorette, and is seldom caught in any romance rumours since her debut.

Ella, who will be tying the knot next month, is beginning to worry for her best friend. The Perfect Two star recently appeared on a radio show to share her love story, and interesting gossips about S.H.E. She also made a shout-out to her fellow group mate, Hebe Tien, saying, "Throw away your rationality and follow you heart!"

According to Ella, Hebe's relationship life is not smooth because she is too rational, while claiming that she and Selina are both "fools of love". She said, "Whenever we face a problem in our relationships, we will cry but Hebe will always be calm. This may be the reason why Selina and I are able to find love first."

Ella also revealed that that the three of them did not get along well when they first got together to form a group, but it was tolerance that held them together through the ten years.

Jerry Yan and Lin Chi-ling to reconcile

It seems like there is some truth in recent rumours which claimed that Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling and actor Jerry Yan may reconcile with each other.

Chi-ling, who had been busy working in China and Japan lately, made a rare appearing in Taiwan two nights ago, when she was spotted having supper with her friends in former flame Jerry's neighbourhood. The model reportedly chose the particular restaurant for its authentic Taiwanese flavour.

The careful Chi-ling took great care of her image while she dined, and would wipe her lips with tissue paper occasionally. After the meal, she looked through some information and discussed work with her friends. She also spoke on the phone gently at one point and covered her mouth, as if afraid of being overheard.

When Chi-ling noticed the paparazzi later, she took the reporters on a wild goose chase through the Min Sheng county area in Taipei, and made quick turns into the alleyways, suggesting her familiarity with the area, before disappearing at a crossroad.

Chi-ling's manager Sammy responded to the report, saying, "I haven't heard that she has a date with Jerry. It was just a simple meal before she went home to pack. Chi-ling had already left for a shoot in Shanghai."
