TVB Celebrity News

New film Heavy Flavor (重口味) held a blessing ceremony. The film is divided into three different stories on prostitution, gambling and drugs. The lead actors Oscar Leung and William Chan equally have daring scenes. Oscar has to reveal his buttock, while William will have to strip dance. The other cast includes, Christine Kuo, Dada Chan, Kelvin Kwan and Michelle Wai. Oscar and Christine Kuo are a pair in this film and will have kiss scenes. First time as the lead actress in a film, Christine gives her first time to Oscar. He said: "Christine gave me her first time in both television and film. Many people ask me if there are kiss scenes, I believe the director won't let us go. We'll probably have a superficial kiss."

Oscar warns in advance that there are more intense intimate scenes in this film than his other film Young and Dangerous Reloaded's threesome scene, but his partner won't be Christine. He said: "I have a few scenes that are pretty intense, there is one where I'm one man with three women. I will be revealing my nipples and butt crack, that I can accept. The director got me several different types of underwear to choose from. I eventually chose a rather tight and protruding pair of undies, but I don't need any padding, I have confidence in my body figure." Christine laughed and said: "I will definitely visit him on the set and see him do the revealing."

William plays a foolish young man, he said: "The story is about me trafficking drugs and taking drugs by mistake. It's an extreme comedy flick, I will have to strip dance too. If I had to take my pants off, I would wear another underwear underneath." William is currently shooting another film, where he plays a fire fighter, so he has to train to look bigger. Next month, he'll have to lose the weight again for his role in Heavy Flavor. "The director asked me to get thinner because I cannot fit into any of my costumes. Before shooting begins, I will have to lose 20 pounds. Time is tight, so I'll have to lose the weight as soon as possible."

Yesterday Oscar Leung and Mandy Wong were recording for TVB food show My Private Kitchen. Oscar and Mandy were dressed in red and white outfits because their episode will be broadcasting during the Lunar New Year. The two looked just like a couple. When asked if they're planning to continue the 'couple team' and earn money together? Oscar said: "Of course I hope so too, I heard her (Mandy) say she has a fortune of bringing 'prosperity to husband'. She said Him Law was initially really shabby, but after she collaborated with him in Suspects in Love, his popularity went on the uprise and everybody knew him. After I collaborated with her in L'Escargot, I got a lot more jobs and even got movie opportunities. She recently got a skincare endorsement, and on the day of the press conference, she will be taking me along to be the guest performer. We will be singing and dancing, and earn some money."

Mandy admitted she did become the spokesperson for a skincare product, but she got the job before she won the 'Most Improved Actress' award and she didn't get a pay raise yet. She said: "Don't listen to him (Oscar), he's just speaking nonsense and playing a joke on me. I didn't say Him was shabby, I told him someone told me I have a nose that could bring prosperity to my husband. It's more like I want him to bring me into movies."

December 2012, TVB actor Oscar Leung voiced his views at former Miss HK Karmen Cheng's wedding, where Eric Tsang and Kenny Wee's "slapping incident" occurred. Because Oscar did not comply with Kenny Wee's demand for a public apology on the rude comments Oscar said about him, Kenny sued him for defamation. Not only does Oscar have to deal with a lawsuit, he also lost a 7 figure movie contract. Since his reputation is damaged and the issued created a negative impact on his jobs, Oscar consulted with his lawyer and yesterday, he strikes back. Oscar's lawyer appealed the suit to the court and the details were exposed yesterday.

Kenny Wee sued Oscar, accusing him of slander and intentionally making false statements about him. According to Oscar's appeal, Kenny's accusations are basically false and is absolutely unjustified because Oscar's comment did not cause any damage to Kenny. The appeal said Kenny's lawsuit is pointless, abuses the judicial procedures and a hidden agenda. The actual motive is to damage Oscar's reputation, strangle his freedom of speech and preventing Oscar from publicly commenting on issues he finds interesting. Oscar asked the High Court to reject Kenny's lawsuit against Oscar. The appeal also stated because the lawsuit caused Oscar to lose several contracts and opportunities to earn money, he demands Kenny Wee to compensate for his losses, but it is unclear whether Oscar wants financial compensation.

Reporters tried contacting Oscar and Kenny to comment on the lawsuit, both did not respond.

Earlier Kenny Wee sued TVB artist Oscar Leung for defamation. Yesterday Ah Lek (Nat Chan) expressed his support, he did not hesitate to say he can lend Oscar money to help him fight off the lawsuit. He said emotionally: "If you want someone to mess with, mess with me!" Sharon Chan also expressed she's willing to lend Oscar money to hire a lawyer if needed. Mandy Wong has been in touch with Oscar all along and hope he'll be okay. Oscar felt so touched from all the support, he wanted to cry.

Yesterday Ah Lek accepted an interview and frankly expressed he found out from TVB General Manager Mark Lee and executive Virgina Lok. Ah Lek said: "There isn't a separation of 'big' or 'small' artists. Mark Lee and Virgina Lok have the same views as me and are 100% supportive. (TVB is providing unlimited support?) TVB's lawyer is helping Oscar with the case. If he has to go to court, then bring it on! We will support him no matter what."

It was understood, there is a "super executive" in TVB that is supporting Oscar too? Ah Lek didn't deny: "That means the high executives are really upset! (Is that person TVB's boss Chan Kwok Keung?) I can't say who the person is. The younger ones don't know, and think he (Kenny Wee) is so powerful, but I don't see anything powerful about him. The most important is to be reasonable. (All the high executives are upset?) Of course they're unhappy. Eric Tsang and all of us are TVB people, messing with us like that."

Last night, Oscar was at Calvin Choy's birthday party and was asked if he feels relieved now that he has his TVB colleagues support? Oscar directly said justice is in the heart, he's just thinking of it as a lesson learned and learning through experience. He hopes for a new start in the new year, "Life is short, only several 10 years, there really isn't anything I can't put down. The most important is, everyone keeps peace and harmony."

TVB GM Mark Lee expressed whenever their artists encounter trouble, TVB is responsible to protect and support them. When asked if Oscar asked TVB for help? Mark Lee said: "Protecting our artists is TVB's policy. I learned about his case from the colleagues in the artists department. It is not necessary for Oscar to personally speak up to ask for help, we are responsible to assist him."

Yesterday Oscar Leung, Sharon Chan, Samantha Ko, Alice Chan and Sammy Leung were on CRHK's radio interview to promote for their new series Friendly Fire. Oscar frankly expressed he has already received the demand letter from Kenny Wee's lawyer, demanding him for a public apology on the "defaming" comments he made about Kenny, otherwise he will be sued for defamation. Oscar came to the interview prepared with a 'locust theory' in response to the demand letter. He revealed on Christmas Eve, there was a locust that bumped into the glass of his window in his home and fainted on the balcony. He said: "Do you all want to know how I spent Christmas Eve? I don't usually out because I stay home to do chores. So, I wiped down my windows and clean them so well, there isn't a speck of dust. Last night when I was watching TV, I suddenly heard a 'dong' sound on my window, so I walked over to see what it was. I saw a locust-like insect on the floor. It probably wanted to fly into my home, but I cleaned my windows so well, it thought there was no glass and could easily fly in. But, the locust hit itself so hard on the glass it fainted. I was thinking if I should rescue it or not, but thinking deeper, he can't be rescued." He added 'Batman' appeared on his balcony and ate the locust. After Oscar finished telling his story, Sharon and the other guests applauded.

When asked who the 'locust' was? Oscar did not directly respond to the question nor did he say any names. He stressed Hong Kong is a place with free speech, he said: "All of the rumors that happen in HK, the people of HK have the right to comment and the comments made do not constitute defamation. I'm a HK citizen myself, I have my rights to make comments on HK news." Asked if he has contacted Eric Tsang? Oscar said: "Nope, we are all enjoying the Christmas break. There is no reason to waste time on worthless news."

On December 5th, Eric Tsang slapped Kenny Wee at former Miss Karmen Cheng's wedding party due to the celebrity drug use scandal at Kenny Wee's restaurant. The police later arrested Eric, but he is temporarily released on bail. "Most Improved Actor" Oscar Leung is also good friends with Eric and was one of the guests at the wedding. After the Eric slapping incident, Oscar bashed Kenny for having paranoid delusion disorder: "Eric likes to play with people, perhaps Mr. Wee is just more sensitive, he has paranoid delusion disorder. I personally don't know Kenny Wee, I just know he's Suki Tsui's husband and has been having news coming out recently. He likes to create gossip, so he can be newsworthy." Kenny felt insulted by Oscar's comments. It was understood, last week Kenny's lawyer sent out a lawyer's letter on his behalf to Oscar and his management, TVB, has already received the letter. Kenny demanded Oscar to publicly apologize to him, otherwise he will take it a step further and sue him for defamation. Yesterday Kenny responded over the phone: "I passed the case to my lawyer, not convenient for me to comment." Reporters contacted Oscar to confirm if he had received the demand letter, Oscar said: "I didn't get it. I didn't know until they told me. I'm not worried, nothing really to worry about. It's not a big deal. Perhaps TVB received it, but if so, they would have notified me. I'm not sure yet." Oscar's manager, Amy, expressed she did not receive the demand letter.

In regards to Kenny asking Oscar to make a public apology? Oscar calmly said: "I'll see what happens then. I contacted my own lawyer about the case as well. Since he sent out a lawyer letter, I could send out my lawyer too. Hong Kong is a free society, if its a illegal to speak, then there isn't any freedom. I didn't use profanity or attack others in a derogatory manner. He thinks it's a big deal, but I don't think so. Perhaps some people think I'm speaking incoherently or arrogantly, but its their mouth, I cannot stop them. It really doesn't matter." Oscar did not believe his comments were too overboard and refused to take it back. He said: "I take back the words I said, but I still said it."

Kenny's wife Suki Tsui appeared at her first public event since Eric Tsang's arrest. When asked if she feels she's stuck in the middle? She said: "I'm ok. I will continue to do my work. There are other work to balance out." Will there be awkwardness if she sees Eric? She said: "I rarely go back to TVB, we don't bunch into each other all the time. Sometimes I do see him around, and I greet him, he's a senior." Will she help settle the issue? She said: "I don't have that ability, leave it to the professionals." She denied her public appearance rate declined due to her husband's case. She said: "I choose my jobs and I want to spend more time with my family." When asked if she's on her husband's side? She avoided: "It's not convenient for me to comment."

TVB "Best Supporting Actress" Nancy Wu won the same awards in Malaysia and Singapore earlier, thus she got through 'three obstacles'. No wonder good sister Myolie Wu held a special celebration for her. Last night, Nancy Wu, Oscar Leung and Koo Ming Wa had a personal party at Tsim Sha Tsui to celebrate their victories. Myolie expressed she is very happy for them all. She had zero interaction with Bosco Wong at the red carpet, Myolie said: "Really? We are fine. We're colleagues and I'll still greet him when I see him." It was rumored Bosco and his co-star from new series Niki Chow sparked love? Myolie didn't believe the rumor, she laughed: "Really? He won't, just people want to find a story."

"Most Improved Actor" Oscar Leung sweetly said it was because he got Myolie Wu's lucky kiss before the award ceremony that he could win this award. Myolie was so happy she gave him another kiss. Oscar joked before the awards, he was sitting on the toilet seat thinking of his acceptance speech, but when he got up on stage, he forgot to thank Felix Wong and Michael Miu and his wife. Good friends Chilam Cheung, Anita Yuen, Michael Miu and many more congratulated him on Weibo. On stage, Oscar thanked his girlfriend Tina, Michael Miu and Jamie Chik praised he's a responsible good man.

Nancy was very excited she made it through the three obstacles, she expressed Hong Kong is her main market, if she left empty-handed, that would be embarrassing and thus this award is important to her. She said: "I've realized my crying look is ugly. This time, I wanted to look pretty, so I tried hard to hold my tears in." Koo Ming Wa won over Power Chan for the "Best Supporting Actor", he said his wife and daughter went on vacation, but when he called his daughter to tell her to good news, she was in tears of joy. He expressed there is a high chance he's renewing his contract with TVB and he's pleased with the terms. When asked if he's worried the public might say he's signing a contract in exchange for the award? He said: "No, people say everything. It's after the awards that I discussed with TVB about the contract."

Oscar Leung plays "Chicken" (Jordan Chan's role) in Young and Dangerous Reloaded . The other night, he was shooting at a busy street in Mongkok and attracted several hundred onlookers surrounding the location. "Chicken" was selling second-hand handbags on the street, when several triad members came up to provoke him. When he got smacked, he fought back with his tiger's tail kick. Oscar got smacked at least 10 times by the special actors, the slapping sound was loud and clear too. The left side of his face was red and swollen and had an injury on his shoulder, but he was still professional and kept it all in. He didn't borrow the camera angles for the shoot, and the makeup artist had to help him cover up the injuries in between.

Oscar expressed he didn't count how many times he was slapped, "We were all into character, but I really was hit hard. My cheeks are all red, but not so severe that there's blood. One of the slaps was so hard, there was a slight tingle in my ears. However, it's not considered that severe, there will be even more intense action scenes later." Did director Wong Jing arrange any bed scenes to comfort him? Oscar said: "There are some bed scenes, but I don't know who my co-star is yet."

The new "Chicken" looks similar to Jordan Chan's original look in many ways. Oscar said: "Jordan told me not to look like him. I have to be a completely new Chicken and understand he was a classic. He passed on the message to me, that I should create another classic." Oscar expressed at first, he was very pressured and even Chin Kar Lok, who was in Young and Dangerous before, told him to relax.

In the later scenes, Oscar won't have to fight topless, wearing a tank top will be his limit. He laughed: "The tattoo this time looks really good, and my new haircut took 6 hours to do. I went to work out in the gym before shooting, and the crew is very satisfied with my figure." Also part of the cast, Philip Ng, served as the action director at the scene.

Aside from the heated battled for TV King and Queen, this year's 'Most Improved Actor and Actress' awards is also going to be a close competition. It was understood, Catherine Tsang's favorite, Edwin Siu, has the most noise. The other hot favorites includes, 'Kwan Yee Gor' Oscar Leung and Him Law. However, Him isn't a TVB contracted artist, so his chances of winning decreases tremendously.

As for the the most improved actresses, looks like it may go to 'Kwan Yee So' Mandy Wong. This year she had four series, L'Escargot, The Hippocratic Crush, Divas In Distress and Tiger Cubs. Additionally, each one of her roles were actively discussed by the audience. However, yesterday when she attended an event with Oscar Leung, she expressed she only hopes to walk down the red carpet with Him and Oscar.

Oscar expressed: "It's had to choose, I hope Him gets the award, but I hope I do too. Actually, I will be celebrating no matter who wins. Friendship is much more important than awards."

Nancy Wu and Oscar Leung (Wai Wai) were shooting the ending scene for TVB new series Seasons of Love in Tsim Sha Tsui last night. The scene was about Nancy, who initially was going to meet Vincent Wong, but because he was trapped in an elevator, she coincidentally meets Wai Wai instead and sparked love. In reality, Wai Wai has been dating his girlfriend for 10 years, but exposes he sparked 'love' with Nancy from the kiss scenes, he said: "It's brotherly love, but we we're very into character. In the series, we have scenes more passionate than kisses, it is affectionate things that married couples do." Nancy added: "We collaborated before, but this is the first time we're a couple. I think we have great chemistry, I trust he won't take advantage of me." Wai Wai joked he's also afraid Nancy might sexually harass him.

When speaking of Myolie Wu, Kenneth Ma and Ron Ng's recent rumors? Wai Wai firmly said: "My girlfriend and I have been together for 10 years proves that we can withstand tests." When mentioning good friend Myolie's new rumor with ex-boyfriend Kenneth Ma? Nancy said: "Whoever collaborates her now will get rumors, no need to take it so seriously." Nancy reveals she and Mandy Wong are waiting for Myolie to introduce guys to them.

Nancy Wu, Oscar Leung and Vincent Wong were shooting for TVB new series Seasons of Love in Causeway Bay. Before shooting began, Nancy and Oscar sat under the tree to cool off. Oscar had on a white tank top, showing off his biceps and pretending to be a built guy.

In the series, Nancy is Vincent's wife and spots him with another woman on the streets. On the other hand, Oscar is also Nancy's husband, which makes the relationships a little complicated. It turns out the characters in the series can choose their own destiny and therefore develop different stories. In the series they can choose their husbands and wives, but in real life they hope to be able to choose to make money in Mainland. It's rumored that HK artists can get paid as high as 200k RMB for shooting Mainland dramas. Nancy said of course she hopes to make 200k too, but she will just leave it to her company to make the arrangements. Oscar laughed: "Even if it's just 50K, I want to do it."

Oscar Leung was rumored involved in a criminal case last Friday (May 4th) at a bar. Yesterday he was back at TVB for the blessing ceremony of his new series Justice Pursuit & Attack with the other cast members including Michael Tse, Sammy Leung, Sharon Chan and Mandy Wong. At the ceremony, Oscar clarified the rumor and the report yesterday frightened his family. He said he has been busy shooting series and had no time to go out to play. Oscar joked he had always been the industry's 'ambassador of people relations' and have not had any conflicts with anyone. Also, it was said a female artist by the surname of Kwan was involved in the case as well, and it was rumored that female artist was Kimmy Kwan. At the event, Oscar generously took pictures and shook Kimmy's hand. He said he didn't know her prior to this series; this will be their first collaboration. Oscar revealed he thought Kimmy was another female artist, Coffee Lam. He continued and expressed on the night of the 'crime', he went straight home after work and his girlfriend can be his witness.

When asked if this rumor has been really troubling him? He said: "No, but its getting more and more serious. The rumor said I raped her and now I don't know what the story will develop into, maybe say I'm committing suicide to escape the punishment." Oscar expressed he plays a prosecutor in the new series and Kimmy will play a girl that gets sexually harassed. He joked: "When the time comes, let me do the investigation and get justice back for her." TVB has already talked to the police about the issue and basically there was no such thing, this time it is something made out of nothing. Oscar does not plan to take any legal action.

As for Michael Tse, he took the opportunity to 'mess' with Oscar, pretending to arrest Oscar and said: "Arrest him! [He's] not filming today!" Then Michael stopped playing and said seriously that the issue only has a defendant and no plaintiff. Perhaps the next victim will be him with rumors that he's often drunk, but Michael said drinking is not illegal. As for Ricky Fan, who was also said to be at the 'crime' scene, frankly said over the phone: "Basically there is no such thing. Last week I was with my wife (Charmaine Li), and had to work. I have witnesses. Oscar is getting married soon, don't go causing trouble!"

In the series, Sharon plays a policewoman and that had been her aspiration during childhood. Now that her dream has come true, Sharon expressed she has to deal with gun fighting scenes and to build the hot policewoman look, she has been watching movies to get some ideas: "I've been actively watching Angelina Jolie's Mr. and Mrs. Smith, learning her postures and poses. Because there are some gun fight scenes that are similar. (Then is Sammy [Leung] Brad Pitt?) OK la! He hasn't been eating because he wants everyone to see his best appearance."

Oscar Leung rose to popularity from the TVB series L'Escargot, where he played the role 'Kwan Yee Gor'. Recently, he was suddenly involved in some gossips. It was rumored Oscar was involved in a criminal case that occurred last Friday (5/4th) with a young girl at a bar. Yesterday Oscar expressed over the phone: "At first, I just laughed it off, but then it was rumored of sexual harassment, then changed to sexual harassment and beating. Eventually the rumors developed to rape too. Friends have called me to ask about the rumor, my family has been very worried about me and I just feel so troubled. I'm very unhappy and I'm afraid this might affect my image. Actually up until now, nobody has contacted me and I have considered personally paying a visit to the police station to get an understanding of the situation, but then I don't know which police station to go to. I don't know what kind of practical joke this is or who did it, but I am very innocent. I am clueless as to what the entire issue is."

TVB Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) responded to the Oscar's rumor: "I have already contacted Miss Lok (Virgina) and Oscar about this. The case occurred last Friday at a bar. Oscar's manager said Oscar has been busy shooting series lately and basically has no time to go to the bar. As for the rumor, they have no brains, I don't know why the are such rumors. If there was such incident, the police would be hunting Oscar down or ask TVB for help to contact Oscar, but we have not received any notice." It was rumored, the case involves another female artist by the surname of Kwan. Last night, Oscar was initially suppose to be back at TVB City to work on his new series, but he did not appear. It was said he will publicly respond to the incident at the promotional event for his new series.

Yesterday Mandy Wong and 'husband' Oscar Leung (Wai Wai) were guests for a men slimming center CM SQUARE's new store opening. Well-shaped Mandy does not mind gaining weight for her roles. Earlier when she was playing the 'Kwan Yee So' role, she deliberately went on an unrestrained diet. She will soon be playing a renovation worker in a new series (A Chip Off the Old Block II). She joked after she finishes studying the role, she is more than willing to help friends renovate their homes for half price!

Oscar will be shooting a new series at the end of next month, and will have to gain weight for the role. He has already gained 7-8 pounds, and especially wore a black leather jacket to cover his large belly: "Because I'm going to be the Emperor, who is chubbier when he is younger. It is when I shoot the death scene, I will have to get thinner, so I will take a several days to rapidly lose weight. (Can you physically handle that?) It's quite miserable, my digestive system will get all weird, like I'm not used to the bathroom times and also get pimples."

Mandy Wong and Oscar Leung's rose to popularity after their performance in TVB series L'Escargot. Recently, the two continue their fate and steps into the film scene. Oscar, Mandy, Chilam Cheung and famous model Mandy Lieu were shooting for new film Natural Born Love Addict (天生愛情狂). When speaking of the interesting events while shooting the film, Oscar exposed that Mandy is evil: "In the film, Mandy chops me with a knife, she's popular now, so she would add more into her actions."

During the shoot, Oscar had on a leather jacket with nothing underneath, therefore his 37-inch chest was shown. Even Mandy couldn't help but give it a little touch, she laughed: "Wah! His chest is bigger than me." Oscar expressed he had 39-inch chest before. Also, Oscar reveals he will soon be heading to Mainland to shoot for grand production series The Great Eunuch, his greatest happiness is being able to work with Michelle Yim and Wayne Lai.

Oscar Leung and Mandy Wong play a married couple in the currently airing TVB series L'Escargot. Oscar is a husband that suffers from mood disorders, while Mandy plays the bossy pregnant wife. Each had their own outstanding performances. Oscar laughed and said Mandy was so hard to deal with in the series. Friends have said giving her a huge smack on the face is the most satisfying, but unfortunately there were too few of those scenes, it is best that she gets smacked more. Of course, in reality it is not good to hit women. As for in reality, is his other half the same type? Oscar said: "Of course not, just she has too many rules, like when I get home I have to take off my shoes. And if I wear jeans to go out, I can't sit on the couch without changing. She's not considered crazy for cleanliness, but she just likes to be neat." Oscar reveals he's been dating his girlfriend for 9 years, and she is currently Cherrie Ying's assistant.
