TVB Celebrity News

Kelly Chen, Annie Liu, Eric Tsang and Andy Hui took part in the recording for the first episode of Grasshopper's new TVB game show Around the World Star Competition (環遊世界明星賽). The group were guests on the show. Kelly frankly expressed it's been two years since she's been on TVB due to the earlier royalty disputes with the Big 5 record companies. Besides the air conditioning still being really cold, Kelly expressed she noticed a lot has changed in TVB, but she laughed and said she's not exaggerated as Alan Tam, needing a guide dog to help give directions around the company because TVB is just too big, even if it was two years ago, she still didn't really know her way around. She reveals later she will collaborate with TVB in secret and is currently planning her comeback show, as her first postnatal stage performance. However, she won't consider bringing her son along to watch her show because he can't sit still.

The winner in the show could win two tickets to travel the world, Annie Liu expressed if she wins, she will definitely go with her mother. She said: "Although I'm not in a relationship now, and I'm not sure when I'll find my other half, but maybe there be love at first sight and I'll go for a lightning marriage. When I'm married in the future, I really won't have too much time to spend with my mother."

Last month, Kelly Chen gave birth to her youngest son Riley, but had not reveal his photos until yesterday on Riley's 1 month birthday. Kelly shares photos of her, Riley and her oldest son Chace. Regarding, Riley's looks, Kelly wrote on Weibo: "The majority of relatives and friends said Riley looks more like Dad, what do you think?" In reality, both of her sons look a lot like their dad Alex, but Riley has Kelly's chin and mouth.

The Raymond Wong Pak Ming produced 2012 Lunar New Year film ALL'S WELL ENDS WELL 2012 (BAK SING PO HEI) yesterday held a press conference in Sheung Wan. Actors Donnie Yen Chi Tan, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Lynn Xiong (Hung Doi Lam), Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Chapman To Man Jat, Jeremy Liu (Lau Chi Chin) all appeared in costumes. Ah Jat's look was almost exactly the same as Peter Chan Ho Sun. Kwan Yu immediately embraced him and played a couple. She also appeared with a three inch career line and became the focus!

Kwan Yu later explained that she played a past her prime singer who was too lazy to work and only looked for boyfriends. Thus she displayed her career line in hopes of attracting more men. Chi Tan played a downtrodden rock singer. Because they were both singers, song and dance were inevitable. Kwan Yu said with exaggeration, "We have many costumes and have to sing and dance. We are very exaggerated. In one scene we have to dance an Indian dance. I kept twisting in platform shoes, finally I was injured and had to see a doctor. I was in pain for two weeks! I never thought that Chi Tan aside from strong kung fu also was an amazing dancer!" Chi Tan added that as soon as that image went out even Ronald Cheng Chung Kei would be out of work. Actually at first when he learned that he had to work with Kwan Yu, he wanted to go wilder and all out more, but Kwan Yu sensed Chi Tan's initial nervousness as if he was afraid that she would improvise at any moment. After the second day he was like a different person. Chi Tan said, "On the second day I began to blow up, I overlooked all dignity. I even had to pole dance in one scene1"

Kelly and Goo Jai played a couple. Because photographer Kelly came to look for construction worker Goo Jai to model, Kelly joked that on the third day of the shoot she has already seen Goo Jai in all his glory. Now she was somewhat not used to him wearing clothes. How was his figure? Kelly joked, "It's great! I used it with a pen, it's real! Indeed he has some training, he's very hard working!" Goo Jai honestly said that at first he was a little embarrassed because he never thought that he had to be constantly naked. Earlier he played Tarzan in the forest and only wore a piece of leopard print cloth. Did he have to wear a thong? Goo Jai helplessly said, "I still have a Mr. Hong Kong look that I haven't shot yet. I don't know what it will be like, I don't want to think about it! (Do you have to train your muscles?) No! (Are you confident?) I haven't shot it yet, luckily Kelly won't be there!" Kelly then joked that she had to bring a group of friends to visit the set to support Goo Jai.

Speaking of Ricky Hui Koon Ying's sudden death at home from a heart attack, Kwan Yu praised that he was a nice person and a great actor. She sent her condolences to his family. Goo Jai and Kelly have not worked with him before. Kelly said that because he was only 65, she felt it was quite a regret. As for his deepest impression, Goo Jai said, "MR. VAMPIRE. Back then my FANTASIA (GWAI MA KONG SEUNG KUK) was based on the Hui Brothers."

The Hong Kong singer revealed that her husband would visit nightclubs four times a week.

Hong Kong singer Kelly Chen will be celebrating her third anniversary with husband Alex Lau on Oct 2. However, recent rumours suggest that the couple's marriage might be a bit shaky.

At a recent event, the singer revealed that Alex would visit night clubs at least four times a week, every week and said that he would give their son junk food.

When her remarks were published, people began speculating that the couple might be facing problems in their marriage.

Kelly later responded to the rumour, saying that she was merely describing how she got along with her husband, and did not understand why people misunderstood her words.

"A couple needs to accommodate each other's habits, since they live together. Alex is definitely not used to that yet. When I was pregnant, he stopped socialising [with his clients]. After Chace was born, he cut down [his visits to the nightclubs] from four times a week, to about one or two. He would also wait until our son is asleep before going out," the singer said.

She also compared Alex's nightclub visits to a woman's habit of shopping, adding and emphasising "that's why we have to accommodate one another".

Kelly also explained her initial "complaint" that Alex was feeding their son with junk food.

"Alex doesn't have the time to see Chace much, so Chace would stick close to me. Alex gave Chace [junk] food because he wanted to leave a good impression on our son. That's why I'm also feeding Chace cakes now," she said. 

Since Kelly Chen's miscarriage in March, she remained at home resting for 2 months. Finally Kelly has recovered emotionally and is ready to step out the door for a comeback. She agreed to attend 3D-GOLD Jewelry's new store opening ceremony this Friday and will cut the ribbon with good friend Eric Tsang. Meanwhile, she explained her current situation with the fans, media and friends that are concerned about her. So yesterday she uploaded 4 new photos of her and her son "Shrimp Dumpling Boy" (Lau Sing) at the beach on her own blog. She wrote "Thank You" to expressed her gratefulness to all the concern given to her during this period.

Kelly wrote: "In the past few months, I received a lot of comforting messages. I want to thank each one of my family, friends, fans, media and everyone else that is concerned about me. All the blessings and concern you all gave me, I received them all! My health has been getting better lately, no need to worry about me. Recently, Lau Sing has grown a lot! He has more and more expressions. He's so silly, what did you call me? In the next few days, I will start working again. When the time comes, I will see you all! See you then!"

Lau Sing's haircut is just like a girl's. Is it because Kelly wants a girl? The spokesperson at her management expressed Kelly has trimmed his hair, but she felt her son's thick hair resembles herself and wanted her son to have his own style. Her son's long hair was said to look like 'Little Sister Man Ling' Winky. Kelly felt that they really do look similar, and said both of them are very cute.

This year, since 38 year old Kelly Chen announced her pregnancy with twins, she lived a secluded life. Occasionally she would attend public events and appear in Central for prenatal checkups with gynecologist Dr. Clement Ho. The day before, in the afternoon, she had a new post with just a dot "." as the title. She announced to everyone that she unfortunately had a miscarriage. She wrote: "After putting the greatest effort, my two unborn daughters could not live with us after all."

Kelly continued and said that her doctor did not tell her the specific cause of the miscarriage, she just announced her gratitude to all the medical staff at Mary Hospital. To avoid fans being worried about her, Kelly said: "Don't worry everyone, I will take good care of myself for recovery and prepare my time well. I will see you all soon."

It was said that the miscarriage happened last week . Currently Kelly is already discharged from the hospital and at home resting. Kelly reveals: "All along it had always been my husband, family and Shrimp Dumpling Boy (her son) being there for me, supporting me, I am still optimistic, and can handle my emotions."

Reporters called Kelly's assistant Leo about the incident, he reveals: "The doctor said it has nothing to do with pregnancy through IVF. The twins themselves were at high risk, Kelly woke up in the morning and felt unwell, so she went to see the doctor, and was suggested that she be admitted to Mary Hospital because the hospital had the proper equipment. Kelly's husband, Alex, was there 24 hours accompanying Kelly and did not leave." Asked if Kelly will try IVF again? Leo expressed: "She won't think about it now, wait until she recovers her health first."

[03/12/2011] Kelly initially was anticipating to give birth to her twins this summer, but unfortunately her twins had a fragile life and died prematurely. Kelly expressed that her miscarriage happened last week, but according to the people she knows, Kelly already knew that "something was wrong" early March. At the time, she felt her fetuses behaving abnormally, and her husband sent her to the hospital. As her condition was unstable, she complied with her doctor's instructions and remained in bed for 5 days, putting in the greatest effort to save her fetuses.

Kelly was so worried, her face was covered in tears. Her husband, Alex saw his wife in such a grief, and that his daughters are in a life-threatening situation, he put down all his businesses and accompanied Kelly the entire time.

Until last week, the doctor helplessly informed them that their babies have died prematurely. The couple were absolutely heart-broken and cried endlessly.

Currently 38, Kelly Chen was very covered up when she attended an event yesterday. Wearing 3-inch boots, she appeared very careful when walking on the ramps, little did we know, she's actually enjoying nearly 3 months of pregnancy with twins. In an interview, Kelly revealed the good news to reporters, she said: "I am pregnant, and it's already 2 months, twins. (3 months?) Almost, time is right to announce, I'm not sure if the twins are boys or girls yet."

Have always had a 'silly sister' personality, Kelly generously admitted to artificial insemination: "Yes, I chose artificial insemination, I wanted to have another one before 40 years old, so I got a little impatient since I'm already 38, and I am afraid the baby might be in danger, artificial and natural do require great efforts. Seeing that I wasn't really able to, the doctor suggested that I use this method, I'm afraid my physical strength won't be good enough if I have the baby any later, greater risks and I'm personally not very greedy, if one of them is a girl is good enough!"

Suddenly 'twins', Kelly also admits that besides planning: "Lost budget, my family is super happy. (How did your husband react?) He's okay too. (In-laws won't have to fight to babysit?) It's good, lighten my responsibility." Already have a son (Lau Sing a.k.a Shrimp Dumpling Boy), Kelly expressed that her son doesn't know that he's going to be a big brother yet, she said: "He doesn't even know what I'm doing, didn't tell him, he's too small! (Putting away the stove after having these twins?) Talk about it after I have them, it's not putting away the stove, it's sealing the stove." So desperate for a daughter that she's having a fever (expression), Kelly reveals that when she found out about having twins, she was so surprised and shocked, she said: "I'm afraid I can't handle carrying them, just plan as I go, this time it was a surprise. Last time, my stomach was already really big, so big it felt like it was going to explode. This time with two, it should be like a giant, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Asked if she would stop working to welcome the new lives? She said: "Have to see how big my stomach gets, if it's so big that people can't be seen, then I won't come out. If not, then I will come out to play a little, it's really boring stuck at home!"

Kely expressed that she hopes to avoid traveling and riding the airplane as much as possible. When speaking of her new Beijing film The Monkey King, actually at the time she alraedy knew she had twins: "Just standing there. (Today how tall are your heels?) 3 inches, it's much shorter!"

Since Kelly Chen gave birth to her beloved 'shrimp dumpling boy', she has satisfied with all things just as long as she has her son. However, she is longing for a another daughter to make the "good" word. (TN: The chinese character 好 for good is a combination of the words daughter (女) and son (子).. The night before, Kelly was a guest at Andy Lau's concert and seems to have a bulging tummy under her slanting shoulder dress. To verify if Kelly is pregnant again? Her company expressed that she "does not have one yet." Kelly was urging Andy to have a daughter, she joked she would tell her son to pursue his daughter.

When Andy introduced Kelly to the stage, he said: "This girl I knew for a long time, we had a dip in the bathtub together before." He then sang a little of the song I Don't Love You Enough, a MV he filmed with Kelly. He then joked with Kelly and said: "The guest every night has to count all my good things!" Kelly heard that and made an "O" with her lips: "Everything about you is good! But there is something I'm better than you at." Andy answered: "Are you talking about having kids?" Kelly laughed and said: "Caring for a son." Andy refuted: "I am even better, I can care for a daughter!" Kelly said: "If you have a daughter, then I will tell Shrimp Dumpling Boy to pursue your daughter!" Andy answered: "You better off having a daughter and wait for me to pursue her!"

Unexpectedly, Kelly changed her mind and told Andy to have a son, so he can pair up with her daughter. Because his son will resemble him as father, an extinct good man. Andy was scared off after all the talk about relationships, then he left in the raising stage.

Maxim's Group is celebrating their 38th anniversary, and donated HK$150,000 to the "Kelly Chen Children Education Fund". Yesterday Kelly attended the event and accepted the charity money, she said: "Maxim's have always been very concerned with my fund." Is the funding adequate? She admitted that because she guest starred in the film The Monkey King (大鬧天宮) where she was paid HK$1 million a day, the money was pushed into the fund. Based on estimation, does she feel she got a bigger pay check than Cecilia Cheung? She felt that it's not and does not know what the current market price is. Asked if she stood firmly a day to earn that million dollar pay check? She said: "Not calculated like that, normally it's calculated per film, perhaps the filmmakers knew that she was doing this for charity, so increased my pay check to HK$1 million per day. I was shooting daily, doesn't matter if I'm just an extra."

As the Big 4 labels has hope to settle the royalty issues with TVB? Kelly said that she has been waiting for this day: "The more I wait the more impatient I am. I thought it would be settled within 2 months, but then it ended up taking more than a year to settle." In the future, singers could possibly appear on other TV stations? She felt that it's pretty good. Can she go on ATV or iCable programs? She said: "TVB and I don't have a contract, I can go on other TV stations." She agreed that there will only be improvement with more competition.

EEG and East Asia bailed out of RTHK's awards, Kelly was surprised and asked why? She said: "Then there won't be anyone there, then it's empty, completely empty! Perhaps the TV ratings will be even higher, very interesting." Will she definitely attend the award ceremony? She admitted, but no schedule because each station had always played on the own. It's a down time in the music scene, should not have so many disputes and should be more united instead.

Filmko Entertainment, Mandarin Films Limited and other film companies invested 400 million yuan on new 3D film Monkey King (大鬧天宮), the film started on October 8th in Beijing. Besides the known cast Chow Yun Fat, Donnie Yen and Aaron Kwok, the latest announcement stated that Kelly Chen will be added to the cast. It's been two years since Kelly's been on the big screen, this time she'll be playing the Goddess of Mercy, who is responsible for making Monkey King turn from evil to good.

Kelly will be bringing out her sincere spirit and decided to donate her 7 figure earnings from the film to the "Kelly Chen Children Education Fund". She said: "I hope I can be like the Goddess of Mercy, providing more support to the people in need."

Besides Kelly, Cecilia Cheung and Gigi Leung are also added to the cast. Cecilia will play Nuwa and Gigi will play the Moon Goddess. Both will have many scenes with the Monkey King and the Jade Emperor.

Recently, Kelly Chen appeared on a talkshow, where the main target of the interview was the rumors of a surrogate that gave birth to her son. Kelly denied to the rumors and said: "I have a scar on my stomach." (from the C-section delivery)

Kelly said that she can still see the red scar on her stomach, and would shiver in fear. She clearly remembers the first time her son was being mischievous in her womb: "He would often have hiccups while in my stomach. Every time he hiccups, I would record it, he did a total of 200+ hiccups."

Speaking of her son's future, Kelly said: "If my son grows up to be a handsome boy and can sing, then I would be his manager (bring him into the entertainment industry)."

Kelly Chen, her husband Alex, and son Chace took the opportunity to spend quality time with family during the CNY holiday. Kelly took her son to visit both sets of grandparents and received a lot of red envelope money for him. “I will save up the money for him and once he is older, then I will return it to him. On preliminary count, the red envelope money he got is close to 5 figures!” In terms of the red envelopes that she has been giving out to relatives and co-workers, Kelly has been extremely generous, with the amount close to 6 figures: “The most important thing during the New Year holiday is for everyone to be happy. I realize also how important it is to be healthy, especially with my son – whenever he has a fever or even a minor cold, I get very worried.”

With the release of her new Mandarin album in March, Kelly indicated that she would take the opportunity to meet up with her fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China: “I want to be one of those working women who view family and career as equally important.” As for when she is planning on having another child, Kelly responded that since Chace is only 7 months old, there’s no rush right now, so she’ll see how things turn out.
