TVB Celebrity News

Since signing a contract with TVB four years ago, Taiwan-born and Hong Kong-based actress Christine Kuo gradually became one of the most famous stars in Hong Kong drama series and the former Miss Chinese Toronto Pageant revealed that it took her a long time to realize the true meaning of being an actress, according to Jayne Stars.

"To be an artist is to entertain the audience, but I failed to understand this concept no matter how many times others tried to explain it to me. I was just not enlightened, and to be enlightened, it takes time. Although I am still not completely sure at what I'm doing now, at least I am working towards a positive change," said Christine.

Christine mentioned that her family was the one who encouraged her to start her acting career in Hong Kong.

She said, "My parents wanted me to learn how to live an independent lifestyle, so they suggested me to come to Hong Kong. I've only lived here for less than four years, but it felt like I've been living here for as long as ten years. As an actress, we tend to substitute our thoughts with our characters and roles, so our lives definitely feel more bountiful."

The 29-year-old beauty has been called the "Goddess" by both actors and male fans since she made her debut in television series in 2010.

"Thank you, everyone, for taking good care of me. To be well-liked by others is not inevitable, so I will not let fame get to my head. I will cherish it. I am quite happy with this honour, but I do want a breakthrough. I want everyone to see a different side of me, but I know this takes time, so I will not rush it. When it comes to goddesses, I believe Brigittte Lin, Rosamund Kwan, and Vivian Chow to be the true goddesses."

Christine Kuo recently made an apology to Lynn Hung for her comments about the relationship rumour surrounding Aaron Kwok and herself.

According to Asianpopnews website, the actress recently dismissed the scandal between her and the Hong Kong heavenly king Aaron Kwok, later referred to it as "a rotten peach flower".

However, while speaking to the media at an event that was held on 24 March, Christine apologised to Aaron's girlfriend Lynn Hung for her insensitive remarks.

The actress stated, "I should make an apology. I am not very fluent in Chinese and I could have used the wrong words. I will not respond again. I am afraid that I may say the wrong things again and implicate others into the picture."

The actress was referring to Lynn Hung's statement earlier, when the model-actress was asked regarding Christine's "rotten peach flower" comment.

Lynn, who praised the actress as a sweet looking girl, only hinted, "It will be fine as long as you do not provoke the peach flower!"

On the night of Stefan Huyuh's wedding, former Mr. HK Matthew Ko served as the MC and sat at the same table as the 'goddess' Christine Kuo. The two were chatting nonstop. Every time Matthew had to go on stage to speak, the two appeared as if they were reluctant to separate. However, shortly after Matthew went over to 'rub' Christine's head, which pleased her so much she let out a cute expression. Later, Matthew took the newly weds to joke with and got Christine laughing so hard she returned his gift with an electrical discharge in her eyes. Also, Matthew posted an intimate photo of him and Christine on Weibo.

Last night, the Sergeant Tabloid cast including Niki Chow, Michael Tse, Matthew Kwo and William Chak, along with Oscar Leung and Christine Kuo were recording for two separate episodes on TVB's game show Minute to Win It. Oscar and Christine were teamed up and flirted the whole way like a real couple. However, when Oscar successfully got through the Card Ninja challenge, he excitedly charged over to Christine trying to give her a hug, but she immediately bounced back in embarrassment.

Before the show, Christine expressed she practiced the challenges beforehand. She wants to win the HK$1 million and share it with the workers, but Oscar said her in dreams. Results, they failed after the 7th challenge and each got HK$50,000. Oscar joked if Christine have had dressed sexier, then he'll have more concentration and a better chance to win. He suggested Christine to take off a piece of clothing every time they advance. Unfortunately Christine just agreed to wear a bikini for the HK$1 million challenge.

Meanwhile, Sergeant Tabloid's cast were recording for another episode. Michael Tse and Niki Chow were leading two separate teams. Niki's team was the ultimate winner with a score fo 40 points to 37 points. The two team leaders were just good at engaging in a war of words, but during the actual games, they were really clumsy. Matthew and William were doing the How's It Hangin' challenge, they were all telling flavorful jokes. When they had the banana hanging between their thighs, Michael teased Matthew: "You don't brush your teeth every morning after you get out of bed just to practice this challenge." Each time William tried swing the banana to guide the orange, he would let out a roar sound, which got the host Hacken Lee teasing him: "I love how you let out that shout when exercising power. It's like the tennis player Sharapova, are you usually like this?" Matthew added: "So anxious, I'm competing with William on TV to see who has a better banana." Hacken encouraged him to yell loudly, joking that if he holds it all in, it will hurt him. He has to let it all out.

Sergeant Tabloid's ratings have been doing quite well, peaking at 31 points. Michael joked Niki just depended on her snot from the premiere episode, that scene where she cried so pitifully. The two hoped the entire series will average at 30 points or more, so TVB Chairman Norman Leung can host a celebration dinner. Michael disclosed there are even more sensitive topics in the HK version of the series, clearly to show what the current events are. The cases are stories everyone faces in their daily lives, but there are no religious topics involved.

Yesterday Christine Kuo attended Plaza Hollywood's 5th Crab Festival and boasted that she is good at making soup, desserts and brewing coffee. Unfortunately she's not dating yet and can't share her skills with anyone. It was said she had zero interaction with Edwin Siu while they were shooting together? Christine explained: "He has heavier screen time, so he's exhausted after shooting and every time there is a break, he would go rest. I am not afraid of rumors, and I'm prepared that there will be spread of gossips. I will no longer cry because of that."

Christine joked she just wants rumors with Yoyo Mung, "Because I'm Christian, so nobody will believe lesbian rumors." Asked if she's a virgin? Christine avoided the question, "You all know, no need to ask and don't ask, I'm shy." She is committed to her religion, therefore she opposes sex before marriage. In regards to Grace Wong, who rejected her boyfriend's sexual desires, and eventually broke up with him. Christine said: "I haven't encountered such situation. If something like that happens, that proves he wasn't her Mr. Right."

TVB executive Norman Leung hosted a banquet for the cast and crew of Tiger Cubs to celebrate the high ratings and success. The cast including Jessica Hsuan, Kenneth Ma, Him Law, Mandy Wong, Oscar Leung, Christine Kuo and Vincent Wong attended.


Recently a tabloid magazine (East Week) reported that Christine Kuo and Michael Tse were 'car shaking' (sex in the car). The magazine even published the photos. Yesterday when reporters approached Christine for interviews, tears immediately formed in her eyes. She expressed the 'car shaking' was just a scene from new series Justice Pursuit & Attack. She stressed the 'car shaking' was necessary for the series because the scene was about her seducing Michael in the car. There were a lot of other staff at the location. She said in tears: "My mom called me from Canada this morning, actually I didn't know what 'car shaking' means, until my mom told me. I just feel so wronged! (Unhappy?) People have limits, I don't want to make my family unhappy! I'm starting to lose my parents' trust, the negative news and rumors are just coming one after another, it's normal that I'm worried. Also, my parents aren't familiar with the nature of my job. I hope to bring them over to HK and live with me as soon as possible, so they can understand more about what I do at work."

Since Christine's debut, she has got herself a long list of rumored boyfriends including Kevin Cheng, Oscar Leung, Edwin Siu, Raymond Cho and more. When asked if she's afraid to get near her male colleagues after this? She expressed: "A little! Sometimes it's just necessary for work and I can't control it! (Give up being an actress?) I don't give up that easily! Also, even if I wanted to give up, that won't solve anything. I should face the problems with courage."

When Oscar Leung saw Christine crying, he handed her a tissue and attentively comforted her: "Don't cry! If anything, I'm here!" However, Christine kept her distance from him: "Get away! If you come near me, I'll be in trouble!"

Michael Tse: I want to cry too!

Also, yesterday Michael accepted an interview over the phone and when speaking of Christine crying over the 'car shaking' incident, Michael joked, "I want to cry too". He felt sorry for Christine: "She's a girl, usually girls are thin-skinned. Aside from crying, what else could she do? She's just trying to vent it all out! (Are you upset?) I'm already numb to all this! Actually the producer already said we were filming, and it could still be written like this! I've been in this industry for a long time, I can understand why she (Christine) feeling emotional. It's really hard to get accused like that!"

Jessica: 'Tiger Cubs' is male dominant series

Jessica was asked if there will be a sequel to Tiger Cubs? She expressed: "Not sure yet! Still discussing! (Start shooting next year?) I really don't know! But, it should be done while it's still hot! I heard TVB already scheduled the series for the first half year, and temporarily there isn't any news on the sequel." Jessica added the public response was better than expected, and she's already satisfied that her 'farewell series' did well.

Since Tiger Cubs was such a big hit, based on TVB's convention, there may be a film version of the series. When asked if there really is a film version, will Jessica participate in it? She smiled: "Even so, it may not be with the original cast! Also, the entire series is focused on the male role, the female roles are not important!" Jessica reiterated that artists are actually very passive in terms of what roles they get, anything work related, we will all have to wait for TVB to make the arrangements and decisions.

Yesterday Myolie Wu appeared in Sham Shui Po for the promotional event of new series Ghetto Justice II. It is said when women are unhappy, they cut their hair short. Myolie expressed: "Not related, the producer of Triumph in the Skies II asked me to cut my hair. Earlier I was considering if I should cut it or not because it took me a long time to grow my hair out. This time, I saw my new role matches really well with short hair, so I decided to cut it." Myolie stressed there are no problems with her emotions. She has jobs lined up until the end of the year already. When asked if she contacted Bosco Wong? She said: "I don't want to talk about it. (Already moved out?) I will move, but that's my privacy. I don't want to talk about my relationship every time I go out. I hope everyone just focus on my work. (Will you not collaborate with Bosco anymore?) Well no, just see how TVB arranges it. (Do you have many pursuers?) Don't talk about it. I want to concentrate on my work. After all, it hasn't been long since the break up, I need a break. (You were really hurt this time, so need a break?) No, I'm very happy being single. I can enjoy this period of time."

Recently, it was rumored Kevin and Christine Kuo sparked love from the kiss scenes. Yesterday at the promotion, Christine responded to the rumors calmly and joked: "Before the reports always say I pursue the guy, but this time it's finally the other way around! (Rumored Kevin and Niki are getting back together?) I don't know. If it's true, I send my blessings to them." Christine joked fans said her 'love triangle' with Kevin and Niki is even more appealing than the new series. "If the rumor can help boost the ratings, then I don't mind. Kevin and I don't keep in touch outside of the series. Last time I saw him was in the first promotion." When speaking of Netizens having a difficult time tolerating her heavily accented Cantonese? Christine said "the biggest enemy is myself", and she believed she is making gradual improvements.

Myolie was asked about Kevin and Christine's rumor? She said she's not sure of their personal lives. From what she knows, it's not like that, but neither of them are married yet, most important is happiness. "I don't want to say something wrong. Kevin is not in Hong Kong, if he sees this report, he will call and yell at me. When we're filming, he doesn't just treat the girls well, he also treats the guys well too."

Christine Kuo was said to have madly 'electrified' director Wilson Chin to give her the lead actress role for his new film Lan Kwai Fong II, but this led to the jealousy of his girlfriend (Calinda Yuen) and the role was switched to Michelle Wai. Christine's lead actress role turned into a supporting role. Yesterday Christine frankly said over the phone that there was a schedule conflict and therefore she won't be in the film. Christine reveals she is coincidentally shooting Beauty At War with Calinda in the same studio. Calinda didn't directly say she was upset that Christine 'electrified' her boyfriend Wilson Chin or anything, she said: "I didn't even work on the film for a day, can't believe the reports are written like this! When I accepted this film, I was already told its the lead actress role and I'll be pairing up with Kelvin Kwan! Next time I'll learn to be more clever and speak up immediately whenever something comes up. (Are you going to be playing a different role?) Definitely not going to accept it! Wait until he starts the the third sequel first before I consider." Even Michelle Wai denied that she's replacing Christine: "I've was already asked to be the lead when we started, but I was too busy and didn't have time on my schedule. It was only last month when my schedule cleared up that I took on the role again." Director Wilson Chin denounced the nonsense reports. TVB executive Virgina Lok expressed compensation is not necessary.

Just one Mainland drama Startling Step by Step got Kevin Cheng a jump in popularity domestically (in HK). It was even said the production company in Mainland is offering to pay TV King Kevin 160,000 yuan per episode if he joins them. Kevin's market isn't only in Mainland, this year his role as "LAW BA" in TVB series Ghetto Justice is just as good for getting TV King again.

When a person has money, they start getting itchy. Recently Kevin has been busy shooting for new series Ghetto Justice II, as seen on the set, Kevin seem to have got something going on with 34C second female lead Christine Kuo. Last Friday (10/21), after jugging down a few drinks, Kevin goes and tries to provoke Christine to take pictures with him. Kevin initiated the move, but unfortunately Christine gave him a lemon: "I think he had too many drinks". That's so sour!

The 41 year old Kevin was reborn this year, pocketing lots through his work in both Mainland and HK. However, not much happening in his love life. When it comes to his rumors, we will have to count back to August, when he was photographed at international model Jenny Tsui's house for 72 hours. However, recently Jenny got a new love interest. Kevin is dry as ever without any girls. It was said, he has feelings for his partner Christine Kuo in Ghetto Justice II

28 year old Christine was the winner in 2009 Miss Chinese International Pageant. Aside from her devil 34C body figure, she has always been the Goddess to the 'home boys'. Lately, since TVB is lacking FaDans, Christine is fortunate is one of the new blood for heavy promotion. In Ghetto Justice II, she becomes the second female lead [behind Myolie Wu]. She plays Kevin's ex-wife and will be fighting for LAW BA with Myolie from beginning to end.

Borrows 'being drunk' to take photos

Christine already has a partner though. She is currently in a stable 'brother-sister' relationship with 24 year old 2008's Mr. Hong Kong winner Joey Law. However, Kevin has nothing to fear. Earlier at a public event, Kevin already praised Christine: "She's hardworking and clever!"

On Friday, the two were in Sham Shui Po shooting a chatting while drinking beer scene. As there was actual beer to support the scene, so the two were actually 'drunk'. However, the gentleman Kevin was telling Christine not to drink too much as he was drinking. Reporters at the location heard Kevin attentively say to Christine: "You can just pretend to drink, I'm afraid you might get drunk!" Later Kevin took out his cell phone and started provoking Christine to take photos with him.

Kevin took the initiative, but Christine didn't seem to appreciate it. She said to [FACE]: "Kevin is a handsome guy. Before I thought he was really cool, but he's quite playful! (Do you feel he's pursuing you?) Huh? Joey and I have a very stable relationship. (He was provoking you to take pictures with him?) I think he had too many drinks!" Looks like he didn't just drink too much, but also thought too much!

TVB's new generation elegant goddess Christine Kuo came to Hong Kong two years ago to develop a career and is eyed like tigers by the guys. However, it turns out that she has been secretly dating 2008 Mr. HK Joey Law for several months.

Christine is the god-daughter of Joey's mom. The two are family friends and both Christians. Miss Christine is alone in HK developing her career and her lonely heart was eventually touched by Joey. Several months ago, the two began their 'sister-brother' love relationship. Joey is 4 years younger than Christine.

The day before, the couple met in Sai Kung, Miss Christine was photographed stealing a kiss near her boyfriend's ear and because of this, their relationship surfaces. She was also often photographed staying over night at her boyfriend's house.

Yesterday, Christine admitted to the relationship: "We just got together, not very stabled, but since the relationship surfaced, I have the courage to face it. (TVB gives you pressure?) They know already, we talked about it and now that it's exposed, TVB will discuss with me again tonight." Christine frankly said that after she came to HK, the Law family took good care of her and she was in contact with Joey more often. The feeling is like a family, and a good feeling. Asked what she liked about Joey Law? She joked: "I like him because he's stupid! But, he says that about me too! He's a person with a very attentive heart, takes good care of me and has good character. He's a simple person too."

Christine said that there are other pursuers around her too, but she was finally touched by Joey, she said: "I felt frightened, but with him it feels very comfortable. (Don't mind sister-brother love?) Before, I definitely wouldn't accept it, but love is blind. When love comes, even I cannot control myself." About the relationship affecting her work, Christine said: "It actually helps with my acting! Because I'm more sensible."

Towards spending the night at Joey's house in Tseung Kwan O, Christine denied and reveals that she is preparing to move now. It turns out that her god-mother (Joey's mom) left a room for her at their house to temporarily stay in, but Christine turned down the offer to avoid misunderstandings.

TVB new series Special Duties Unit starts shooting off magnificently. Joe Ma and Christine Kuo were in Kowloon City shooting last night. The scene was about Christine, who plays Joe's fiancee, feeling frustrated. She gets drunk and loses control of herself, then she starts crying by the phone booth. Perhaps, she was too into character but after shooting, Christine carelessly bumped her head on the phone booth and let out real tears! She said this is her first crying and drunk scene. She is especially grateful of her co-star Joe Ma for bringing her into character, but she couldn't believe that saliva and tears became her first collaboration 'gift'. To shoot the crying scene, Christine took off her contact lens and used half a bottle of eye drops for a whole hour. No wonder her eyesight was fuzzy after shooting.
