TVB Celebrity News

Aimee Chan is currently in Malaysia shooting for TVB new series Outbound Love. Yesterday a magazine reported when she was shooting a scene where she gets harassed by several Southern Asian Extras (temporary actors), they actually sexually harassed her. The report said her co-stars Ruco Chan and Matt Yeung did not try to stop them, which made Aimee unhappy and complained to her boyfriend Moses Chan. Yesterday Aimee personally clarified the rumor. She denied that there was no such thing that happened. She said: "I'm fine! Nothing like that happened. It's just a matter of the camera angles, we all had a pleasant collaboration. Very harmonious."

TVB Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs Mr. Tsang Sing Ming expressed: "Catherine Tsang talks to the crew on a daily basis. She knows clearly of what is happening. Today when we saw the report, we contacted the producer and the crew. Nothing like what the report said happened. The outdoor filming is going smoothly and they are collaborating well. The photos were just a camera angle issue."

Lately there has been a lack of Siu Sangs and FaDans in TVB, no wonder Eric Tsang had to throw out his friendship cards and ask his good friends back to shoot series. Earlier Eric expressed he successfully convinced good buddy Tony Leung Kar Fai to shoot a TVB series and since he started his career from the TVB Artistes Training class, he's 'bleeding' TVB's blood. However, it was understood TVB still has not discussed the salary with the fresh out of the oven Film King. This time, Tony is making a comeback in producer Chong Wai Kin's 30 episode series co-starring Michael Miu and Raymond Lam, schedule to start in September. The female lead not been confirmed yet. It was understood, TVB really values the Film King's comeback and will make an investment for the crew to shoot in Vietnam.

Yesterday reporters contacted TVB series production director Tommy Leung to confirm. He expressed all is still in discussion. Tony has a busy schedule and has not had the time to look at the script. Asked if its expensive for TVB to hire Tony? Tommy said: "We haven't discussed about the salary yet, but he's coming back this time because of the relationship and we must give him a reasonable price." As for producer Chong Wai Kin, who is currently working in Foshan, expressed the casting was decided a few days ago and that they are still talking to Raymond Lam about his schedule. He said: "I haven't collaborated with Raymond in a long time, nor have I ever collaborated with Michael. I am looking forward to it. (Does Tony have any requests? What about the female lead?) I haven't talked to him yet. As for the female lead, we are waiting for the story to finish writing first before deciding."

Michael Miu expressed he chatted with Tony at Eric Tsang's party last night, he said: "Tony's my junior and I really do hope to collaborate with him, but there are some conflicts with his schedule. We may have to postpone." Raymond is currently in Hengdian filming, he expressed he does not know if he'll have the opportunity to work with Tony, but he's one of his idols during childhood. Now that he's encountering him in a TV series, Raymond will not need to consider at all, but he does not have the details on what his role is yet. Raymond hopes to learn acting skills from Tony.

Selena Li has been the spokesperson for a skincare brand for 3 years. Yesterday she puts on a yellow tanktop to shoot a commercial for the brand. She frankly expressed she gets a raise each year and is very pleased with the amount. When speaking of her skincare experiences, Selena expressed she's afraid of getting a tan because her skin gets dry and she'll look older. Selena said: "I apply skincare products on my face each morning and night. During the day, I would put sunscreen on and moisturizers to prevent sunburns. Otherwise, I could easily get spots on my hands. In the evening, I put on body lotion after taking a shower and every week I scrub off the dead skin and then put skin moisturizer for better absorption."

Currently on vacation, Selena will be back to shoot a TVB costume drama in May, so she has to really work out and start stretching her muscles. "I have a dance background, if I need to do action scenes, I want to do them myself. Stretches need to be done over a period of time, so I'm just preparing early."

Michael Tse and Niki Chow's Sergeant Tabloid celebrated the serial's success with the other cast including Koni Lui, Grace Wong, Candice Chiu, Oceane Zhu, etc. Earlier Niki promised if the peak rating reaches 32 points, she would give Michael a kiss to thank the audience to make up for not having any kiss scenes in the series. She also let Michael choose the area to kiss. The highest peak rating for this series was 34 points.

At the celebration, Niki fulfilled her promised and gave Michael a kiss, but she turned it into a funny moment. She put plastic wrap over Michael's lips and covered his eyes before kissing him. Michael pulled off the plastic wrap and complained: "You covered my entire face, how would anyone know I'm Michael Tse?" Soon after, everyone asked Niki to do the kiss again. Michael was asked how the kiss felt? He joked: "So fake!" Niki explained because of the recent bird flu, it's better to have good hygiene.

During the interview, Niki disclosed she called Michael right before the celebration and clearly stated that he cannot make her kiss him in an inappropriate area, only allowed the five sense organs or face. She said: "When I first said it, I forgot to say clearly where I could kiss. What if he tells me to kiss somewhere that can't be seen? What if he's psycho and wants me to kiss his armpit or lower half of the body? What happens if there is hair there?" Michael said: "I initially thought of making Niki kiss my toes. She wanted to kiss me long ago, now her wish has come true."

When speaking of the possibly of a sequel? Niki expressed the earliest she can shoot another series is in 2014. TVB has also scheduled her other series A Change of Heart to air in the summer. Niki disclosed she is currently concentrated on recording for her Mandarin album that will be releasing at the end of the year. Her boss Richie Ren has got a lot of people participating in producing this album. She expressed her Mandarin is considered passing, but she's feeling nervous because this is her first Mandarin album.

Yesterday Linda Chung attended a Metro radio event with Alfred Hui, Jinny Ng and Hanjin Tan. She just celebrated her 29th birthday a few days ago. Her birthday wish was good health for all the people she loves and everything goes smoothly for them. She said: "I got a lot of candles, bananas, and some kitchen utensils birthday gifts because I just started learning how to cook. In the past, I just knew how to make cake and instant noodles." Asked if the everyone she loves include Philip Ng? She said: "All my friends!" Asked if Philip celebrated with her? Linda expressed "Private party remains private." She did not want to comment.

Linda was in a great mood yesterday at the event, she joked: "This year is my 19th birthday, I will be 19 forever. I hope to maintain a youthful and geniune state, regardless of my age. (Everyone calls you Linda BB?) There has been a lot more BBs recently, even Lana Wong is a BB. There are so many now, I don't want to be called BB anymore, I want to be an adult."

The Journey to the West star responded to the reports during an interview and calmly said, “My conscience is clear.”

Dicky rose to fame after starring in popular drama series such as The Duke of Mount Deer and Young Hero Fang Shiyu. He spends most of his time filming in China in recent years, occasionally returning to Hong Kong for the Big Four concerts with Andy Hui, William Su and Edmond Leung.

"Miss 5" Christine Ng has been feeling excited lately because her new series Beauty At War is airing on April 22nd. War and Beauty was a huge hit back in 2004 and now that the sequel is finally airing, as one of the female leads, of course Christine is feeling anxious.

Christine frankly expressed she personally enjoyed watching War and Beauty and this time, she's apart of the sequel and feels especially excited. "I've always been a Jonathan Chik fan. I had already noticed him from the films he produced in his early years, but after so many years we only collaborated in ATV's The Movie Tycoon (1994); TVB's Cold Blood Warm Heart (1995) and CIB Files (2006), and still didn't really know each other well. This time, because the script was written on the spot, we had more opportunities to chat and get to know each other more."

Christine described her role 'Shun Tai Fei' (Consort Shun) as a woman with heavy resentment because right after she married the Emperor, he dies and she immediately turned into a widow. Because she had never been loved or got favored by the emperor, she turned into a ruthless woman, the one causing all the trouble in the palace. In reality, Christine has been happily married to her husband Kasey Lin for 14 years and had always maintained an energetic and positive attitude. She frankly expressed because her role is the complete opposite of herself, it was a challenge for her. "Usually when I start a new series, I do my preparations half a month before, but this time I spent 2 months prior to do the outline for the role. I watched the original War and Beauty and watched several other palace related dramas to use as reference. At home, I practiced how to walk with the shoes from the Qing dynasty and because I knew the script would be written as we are filming, I just had to practice my walking and then focus on my lines. But, honestly this time around it was quite difficult for me. The dialogue was really long, the language was too complex, I didn't even know some of the words and to top it off, the script wasn't complete before we started filming. That period, I really felt like I was taking exams, I had to memorize my lines every night. It was so stressful."

Christine expressed this is the most difficult series that she has ever worked on, but she didn't get depression like Sheren Tang did. "I really didn't think Sheren had any issues though! Perhaps because, that time we were all just so concentrated in memorizing our own lines, so all got anxious! I'm personally quite positive, very optimistic and I have never gotten so into character that my mental health gets affected too. (When you go home and see your husband, you forget everything?) This time, it has nothing to do with him! Its when I see my two beloved cats so cute, they made me so happy that I forget everything!"

When speaking of her husband Kasey, he makes surprise visits to the set and constantly takes pictures of his wife. In reality, Christine is certain she won't be a distressed woman. She laughed: "I'm not that stupid, I let all my unhappiness out! (You have such a great husband, there must be a lot of girls surrounding him?) If there are, that's normal. This means I have good taste! (Kasey cuts in: I don't let anyone get near me!) If he really does find true love, I would let him leave and won't stop him. I believe he would do the same for me. It's been so many years, we have mutual trust. We respect each other, so there won't be any 'imperial orders' nor do we check on one another. We take initiative to report of our whereabouts because we don't want the other to worry. All along, he has never done anything that crosses the line."

Yesterday it was Linda Chung's 29th birthday. Fans threw her a birthday party and prepared a special birthday cake with Linda's favorite Korean idol (Ji Sung) photo printed on it. In the animated photo, Ji Sung was playing a love song on the guitar to her. LindaBB was so touched when she saw the cake.

Linda thanked her fans on Weibo: "Thank you my dear fans for each and every birthday blessing. Thank you for the awesome cake! You guys really know me well. Thanks to all my fans for participating in my birthday party. I really had a great time. This is definitely the most intimate party yet. I wish you all happiness, good health and I love you all!" Linda's good friends from the industry wished her a happy birthday on Weibo -- Steven Ma, Shirley Yeung, Natalie Tong, Nancy Wu, Sharon Chan, Wong Cho Lam and more.

Following Flora Chan's comeback in Eric Tsang's new TVB series Aerobic Girls, two other heavyweight actresses Teresa Mo and Sheren Tang are invited back to join the cast. The three 'queens' are going to co-star alongside Lawrence Ng. The series is scheduled to start in May. Although Lawrence won't have heavy screen time in this series, he was still willing to be part of it for two reasons. The first is because of good friend Eric Tsang and the other important reason is because he can work with his three former partners -- Flora, Teresa and Sheren -- at one time. He frankly expressed he highly anticipates this collaboration.

Yesterday reporters contacted Lawrence to confirm, he expressed: "I won't say who they are, but just hearing their names, I already really miss them and this has become the reason why I may possibly be in this series. However, it's not confirmed yet!" Lawrence and Teresa's collaboration in the 1986 TVB series A Taste of Brotherhood left a deep impression on audience; Sheren continues her fate with Lawrence after their 2000 collaboration in The Threat of Love (Loving You) and that same year, with Flora Chan in A Taste of Love.

This TVB grand production is definitely getting a lot of attention. There were constant rumors of heavyweight artists participating including Veronica Yip, Charmaine Sheh and even Anita Yuen. Reporters contacted Anita in Thailand for details. She admitted TVB executive Tommy Leung called her three times to invite her back, she said: "Tommy called me, I actually really liked the script, but there were schedule conflicts. I have to go to Hengdian for work, so it's unfortunate and a pity. I have to apologize to Tommy!"

Yesterday Wayne Lai, Edwin Siu, Natalie Tong, Pierre Ngo, Corinna Chamberlain, and Sire Ma took part in TVB new series Bullet Brain's promotional event.

There has been wide rumors that Joel Chan and the 'King of Gamble' Stanley Ho's daughter (Florinda Ho) broke up. TVB's golden producer Lee Tim Shing had worked with Joel before and is still very interested in working with him again. Yesterday at the event, Tim Gor expressed he will definitely use Joel again in his future series and is not worried about his damaged reputation. He said: "Holy roles does not work well with Joel, he's most suitable for those weird or bizarre roles."

In the series, Wayne plays a detective with an extreme character. He said he had never played such role before and it was very challenging. However, he's not sure of the audience reaction yet. The lead actresses Natalie Tong and Sire Ma will be fighting over Wayne in the series. Wayne's co-stars are getting younger and younger, even he admitted he's very lucky.

Corinna plays Pierre's wife and will have a kiss scene. In one of the photos from their kiss, there are speculations that Pierre had his hand on Corinna's chest. Yesterday Corinna disclosed she gave her first on-screen kiss to Pierre and praised that he's a handsome guy. She was nervous too when she was filming that scene. When asked if Pierre touched her chest? She expressed he did not touch the sensitive parts and Pierre is very respectful of female artists. They communicated throughout the shoot.

Pierre was asked if he had contact with Corinna's chest during the filming of the kiss scene? He said he didn't, perhaps the misunderstand came from the angle of the photo.

Edwin expressed Gigi Ho is still her "rumored girlfriend". Earlier they were spotted together at the Sha Tin Racecourse, but there was actually many other friends with them. He disclosed Gigi plans to purchase a horse and become a horse owner. Edwin expressed he will give both his spiritual and financial support.
