TVB Celebrity News

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 Niki Chow, Michael Tse, Matthew Ko, Grace Wong, William Chak, Koni Lui and the rest of the cast of TVB series Sergeant Tabloid attended the promotional event. The cast played a game, where the female artists would serve the blindfolded male artists. Michael got attacked from all sides, Niki sat on his lap and fed him grapes, but Michael ended up touching her thighs and frightened her so much fell off.

Niki claimed its been a long while since she sat on a man's lap. She laughed: "I wanted to scream when he touched me, but we were playing a game and I couldn't make a sound, otherwise Michael would have known its me. Actually, screaming is a normal reaction. I can't remember how long ago was it since the last time I sat on a man's lap. But, boyfriends aren't just used to sit on. I currently have pursuers too, but it's just they aren't right for me. Although I'm having a difficult time handling my love life, who knows, perhaps someone will come along later on! There just has been too many people asking me lately, I feel kind of stressed. (Your sister introduced any guys to you?) I think its because she heard the media talk about it too much, so she's starting to do some work now!"

Micheal complimented and then bashed Niki: "She got lighter! It was quite comfortable when she sat on me, she got slender legs and smooth skin! (She said she wanted to scream when you touched her!) Of course! How often does she get touched by men? But, I just touched her jeans! She said if the serial's TV ratings gets over 30 points, she'll kiss me, but I get to decide where she kisses. I still haven't thought of where yet!"

In the current TVB series Sergeant Tabloid, Niki Chow plays a policewoman, but it turns out this is her first time portraying such role. For a more realistic portrayal, she did a lot of homework prior to filming. She said: "I spent two months on physical training and I chatted with a real life policewoman." She expressed the policewoman was introduced to her by her brother-in-law and the scriptwriter: "Because it just happened my brother-in-law met an instructor's wife who is a police inspector."

But Niki expressed the most difficult part of filming was she had to carry a heavy police belt with her on a daily basis. She said: "The belt was 16 pounds, and I had to be chasing thieves with it. When I got home, my waist was bruised from it. Even the last time when I wore my costume to the promotional event, just had it on for a little bit and already felt the sore." Immediately after, Niki lifted up her shirt to show the female reporter her bruised waist. Indeed, there was a bruised area and we can imagine how severe filming can get. Because of this Niki expressed she had to give special thanks to the police officers, especially the policewomen. She said: "Because besides from working everyday, they still have a family to look after, so mighty. This series wanted to convey the message to the men, don't be so superficial, must admire the inner beauty."

In the series, Niki is known as a 'sing lui' (unmarried middle-age woman), and in reality she is a sing lui as well. Since her debut, one can easily count her rumors with one finger. The most memorable relationship she had was with Kevin Cheng. Asked if she still keeps in touch with Kevin? She laughed and said the question is too sharp: "We only keep in touch if we're working together. (That means you haven't been in touch with him for a long time?) We're both busy. (Send messages on holidays?) Not deliberately. I don't want this to get hooked, [the media] been talking about it for so many years. We both have matured. (Ok relationship?) Nothing, we always see each other backstage, we greet one another and chat too. (Any chance of sparking the relationship again?) Haha, we have never sparked, how could we re-spark?" Asked again of her current love life? She expressed she's in that state where she's getting a lot of pursuers.

Earlier Niki Chow was spotted with a Caucasian man on the street and it was rumored the two are dating. Yesterday she attended her management Dai Ngok Entertainment's 10 Anniversary Banquet (subsidiary of East Asia Music) and denied the rumor. Niki said: "After the report came out, many friends called to congratulate me. I had no idea what was going on. That gentleman is a friend of my sister Kathy Chow, that night we were all just there for a party. I wasn't feeling well, so I left first. My sister asked him to walk me out to get a taxi. He already has his other half. At my sister's wedding, she introduced me to many guys, but that day I was just too high and basically can't tell who is who."

When speaking of ex-lover Kevin Cheng wishing her all the best in finding her other half, Niki said: "The reporters asked him, of course he'll give that answer. If he's in a relationship too, I would wish him all the best too." She expressed she does not mind starting a new relationship, she said: "There are several pursuers asking me out on dates, they should be interested, but I have no feel." Asked if she would choose a foreigner to be a boyfriend? Niki said: "I don't mind, but my mom said before, my sister married a foreigner, so she hopes I marry a Chinese person."

Since 33 year old Niki Chow's debut, she didn't have many rumors, just with Kevin Cheng, 'Textile Prince' (Eric) and most recently Bosco Wong. Earlier it was rumored Niki still had feelings for Kevin and hoped they'll get back together, but she ended up being hurt and in the past year, she didn't have any new love interests.

Niki said before, she enjoys her single life, but actually she's been longing to be in a relationship. A while back, she disclosed she asked Koni Lui's husband (Dickson Wong) to introduce guys to her. Recently, it was rumored Niki found a new love interest and the 'couple' frequently attends friend gatherings together. Last night, [Oriental Daily] spotted Niki all dressed up in Central to attend her good friend, designer Alan Chan's birthday party. That night, Sandra Ng and her husband, Annie Liu, Balia Chan and Yeo Tin Ming were at the party as well. It was understood, Niki was in a great mood and had a Caucasian handsome gentleman accompany her the entire night. It seems like after Niki saw her sister Kathy Chow and her French boyfriend tie the knot, her taste in men changed. At the party, Niki and the foreign gentleman seemed very familiar with one another and were enjoying their glasses of wine sweetly. The party ended at around 1am, Niki and Balia Chan were chatting nonstop as they walked out of the building, and the Caucasian male friend was such a gentleman, he stood besides Niki and waited patiently. When Balia's 7-seater van drove up, the Caucasian gentleman gave Balia a goodbye kiss, but Niki had 'no eyes to see' and looked away. Later, Niki and her Caucasian male friend had a slow romantic walk on the street and then stopped to wait for a taxi. The two chatted as they waited for a taxi to come and often made eye contact. Niki often gave her handsome friend a sweet smile, whereas he tried to hold her hand. However, Niki had a sharp eye and spotted reporters from a distance. She had a brief surprised look on her face, and then frowned that the reporters ruined her nice moment. After another few words with her friend, the two left separately. Niki quickly got into a taxi and left. The male friend watched her leave safely before he took off as well.

Earlier Bosco collaborated with Niki in TVB new series A Change of Heart and had rumors with her. Currently filming in Hengdian, Bosco generously congratulated Niki once he learned she has a new love interest. When asked if he feels relieved that he's finally 'set free'? Bosco laughed: "Don't say that, we were just rumored while working together... not a big deal!" When the two were working together, did they talk about relationships? Bosco exposed Niki's really dry and now that she found a new love interest, he feels happy for her. He said: "That time, she told reporters herself that she was really dry! It's great now, I'm happy for her! (Do you still keep in touch with her?) After we finished A Change of Heart, I had to go back to China for work, so I haven't been in touch with her!"

A few days ago, Niki Chow attended the HKTDC World Boutique Fashion Fair. Niki expressed she rushed to this event from the hospital because she didn't want to be absent on short notice, so she insisted on attending. The professional Niki had a hoarse voice, she explained she was running a high fever that wouldn't go away. At first, she thought it was the flu, but later at the hospital, the doctor said she had bacterial infection and had to get 6 shots to treat it. The Niki who rarely gets sick laughed: "Getting an IV at the hospital sometimes, just think of it as recuperating my body. I have to go back to the hospital after this, I feel like I'm a vehicle getting maintenance." When asked if its because she played too hard at her sister's (Kathy Chow) wedding? She laughed and said its possible.

Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu ended their 8 year relationship in July. Although Bosco tried hard to patch things up, Myolie heartlessly cuts it off. Last month on Myolie's birthday, Bosco sent a SMS wishing her a happy birthday, but she didn't respond. Yesterday it was Bosco's 32nd birthday, the first year he's spending his birthday as a single man. Last night, he was shooting for TVB series A Change of Heart in San Po Kong with Niki Chow and Michael Miu.

At 12am, Michael took out a huge sponge cake (Ma Lai Go) with firework candles to celebrate Bosco's birthday, but the fireworks frightened Niki so much she quickly stepped back and covered herself with her arms. Then Michael gave the birthday a kiss and told Niki to give Bosco a birthday kiss too. When Niki gave Bosco the kiss, Michael excitedly shouted: "Great, there will be rumors!" When asked what Bosco's birthday wish was? He started off saying excitedly that he hopes to buy his dream house, but when asked if Myolie Wu sent him a SMS to wish him a happy birthday? He said indifferently: "I don't have my phone with me, so not sure."

A few days ago, Bosco and Niki were in Stanley shooting a marriage proposal scene at the beach. The two were sweetly holding hands, and Niki even grabbed Bosco's face. After they completed the scene, Bosco and the crew sat in a row eating their lunchboxes. Yesterday Bosco had to work in Sai Kung and when asked of rumored girlfriend Kate Tsui personally bringing a birthday cake to him? He said: "Actually that day we were filming together, the cake was from Scoop. She just delivered it to me." Reporters contacted Myolie asking if she sent a SMS wishing ex-boyfriend a happy birthday? She did not respond directly, she just sent a SMS back expressing she's currently trying out costumes in China for her new series.

Yesterday Niki Chow attended LA PRAIRIE's fashion event and reveals she is currently busy shooting TVB new series A Change of Heart. She hopes to complete the series before Christmas and filming won't have to drag until next year. Who will she spend New Year's Eve countdown with this year? She smiled: "Spend it with all my fans. I have to work on Christmas and New Year's Eve. (Too dry?) I've been dry for a long time, everyone knows. I'm starting to get used to it, don't know if it's a good or bad thing. (Family rushing you?) They can't. (Your sister Kathy Chow said she's unwilling to be your matchmaker?) I like to do it myself, very stubborn. Also, I just switched to a new company and have many jobs next year. Relationships, leave it to fate."

A few days ago, Niki had a scene where she gets into the water, initially TVB arranged a stunts double to do the scene for her, but because the outcome didn't look good, so she eventually just did the scene herself. She said: "I was in the water for 4 to 5 hours, my hands were all swelled up. Luckily, the water wasn't that cold, but I don't know how to swim, so I just kept grabbing Bosco Wong, who was in the water with me."

When speaking of the TVB Awards, Niki was part of the nominations for TV Queen and My Favorite Character awards. Niki felt the nomination was just to give her face and she never thought of getting the awards: "Every award ceremony has their own game rules. Although they say its 'one person per vote', I have my fans' support, but I can't compare to Raymond Lam." As for her TV Queen pick? She said Michelle Yim, Tavia Yeung and Kate Tsui have all performed well: "If possible, I hope to be in a series with Tavia and Kate, it's better than giving the award to me."

Breaking up with Myolie Wu, Bosco Wong has been trying to forget the relationship and concentrated on his work. Last night, Bosco drove his Mercedes S350 and parked it on the street in Mongkok, where he went straight to work on TVB new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire. At the filming location, Bosco was shooting the scene with Niki Chow and attracted a lot of onlookers. The scene was about Niki, who became blind after an accident, walking down the street when a group of young guys surrounded her. Bosco was secretly protecting her and came flying out with a 'drop kick' to rescue Niki. Bosco showed off his waist strength when he did the drop kick and won applause from the surrounding audience. As for Niki, she was total into character, acting just like a real blind girl. The onlookers praised her good acting skills.

During the interview, Bosco was asked if there were any sparks between him and Niki? He said: "We're just acting, but we are a pair in the series and we have kiss scenes. It's not too intense though." As for ex-lover Myolie Wu and Kate Tsui battling for TV Queen, asked who he supports? Bosco said: "Myolie! She has a good chance, she did very well in Ghetto Justice II. If she does win, I will congratulate her!" However, Bosco also said if Kate or any one else gets the award instead, he'll be happy for them as well, "They are all my friends, I'll be happy for them!" When speaking of his chances for the TV King title? He said: "Every year, I don't have much confidence, but this year the competitors are so strong."

Niki expressed this is her first time playing a blind person, she thought it was quite special, "There so many things to play with in this series, challenges my acting skills!" When speaking of the kiss scenes with Bosco? She said: "We collaborate pleasantly and able to accommodate. We're friends, so there's no awkwardness!"

Kathy Chow and Julien tied the knot yesterday (Sept. 29th) in the romantic old town of Grasse, France. There were tears and laugher throughout the wedding ceremony, especially for the bride Kathy, who was overjoy and teared up nonstop. Even her bridesmaid and younger sister Niki Chow was crying along with her.

Kathy had on a Elie Saab low-cut wedding dress valued at HK$500,000 and a Cartier wedding ring. It was an outdoor wedding ceremony held at 5pm in France, but it was a cloudy forecast with some rain. Before the wedding began, there was some light rain, but when the wedding officially started, the sky suddenly turned clear as if it was sending a blessing to the newly weds. When the bride saw her family and friends coming from afar to witness her marriage, she started getting emotional and teared up.

The most touching moment was when Julien's father made his thank you speech, they also explained the reason to the "White Party" theme at the welcome dinner. He said: "I really like Asia, that was why I sent Julien to Hong Kong to experience it. I gave Julien some money to buy clothes, and unexpectedly he bought an all-white suit and wore it to work. It was just too funny."

Julien's father continued: "Kathy has a very cute personality, and she's beautiful. Our entire family loves her, she is our bridge, who helps us understand more of Chinese culture." Then the father exposed his son's personality of always wanting to win, never want to lose. He said: "So, I'm really grateful that Kathy is able to withstand my naughty son." Kathy teared up once again in response. After the wedding ceremony, the newly weds and their guests held another party nearby and cut the giant Macaroon wedding cake.
 
Niki cries and laughs during her speech

Niki was her sister's bridesmaid and had to make her thank you speech in French, which was a great challenge for her. Niki already got the speech memorized and started out very well, she spoke smoothly and comfortably. However, she suddenly blanked out because she started getting emotional and her speech turned stiff as tears came rolling down. When she completed her speech, Niki started laughing again and said in Cantonese, "I'm finally done!" followed by a burst in laughter. Kathy and Julien were standing besides her and couldn't help but to start laughing with her.

Yesterday morning, Bosco Wong and Niki Chow were shooting Kowloon Tong for TVB new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire. Then later in the afternoon, Bosco was a guest on Jamie Chik's show Tasting Life and her husband visited them on the set. Since Bosco and Myolie Wu broke up, he has lost a lot of weight. He now looks like he has a big head. When asked if he contacted Myolie? He said: "No, I just got back two days ago. (Myolie bought a mansion?) That's good, she hasn't moved yet, but I haven't bumped into her."

It was rumored Bosco has been madly SMSing Myolie trying to patch things up with her, but he denied: "I SMS her sometimes, just friends sending greetings. (Home alone coping with the love injuries?) Don't exaggerate it. It's not the end of the world." He also said it is all fate, whether if they could reconcile or not. Michael was asked if he has comforted Bosco? He laughed: "Bosco is free now, no need to make calls and report what he's doing! When fate comes, they may be able to be together again."

In the scene he was shooting with Niki, it was about them visiting Ha Ping at the elders home. Bosco reveals he has kiss scenes with Niki because they're a couple in the series, but does not know when they are going to shoot it. Reporters teased that the two have coincidentally fallen out of love and are single again, will there be a chance of them developing a relationship? Bosco said: "There shouldn't be anything, we collaborated before. We're actually not that familiar, but we're friends. It's nothing." Niki laughed: "You think it's that easy? I'm very professional!" Bosco was asked if he's giving Niki back to Kevin Cheng? He said: "I didn't say anything."

Niki didn't think Bosco severely lost weight and she hasn't followed his news. When asked if she pays more attention to Kevin? Niki said: "Nonsense!" Lately Bosco easily gets rumors, is she afraid she'll get involved too? She said: "It's my business too? No, I'm not part of it. There shouldn't be any rumors and it's not our first collaborate. (You are both coincidentally back to being single?) Work is work. I won't be looking for someone here. We are all very professional. (How is Bosco feeling now?) Nothing much, he's very professional. I don't think there is anything special, the atmosphere on the set is really good. Of course I don't ask about his personal life."

Yesterday Niki Chow, Mandy Wong and Vincent Wong started their first day of filming for TVB new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire. Tomorrow is Niki's 33rd birthday (August 30th), so Mandy and Vincent prepared a birthday cake to celebrate with her. The child star (Lam Wing Yu), who played the young Niki in Bottled Passion, brought a birthday gift for her as well.

Niki reveals her birthday is coincidentally on the same day as the Chinese Ghost Festival (July 14th, Lunar Calendar). She decided to celebrate with her family early and comforted herself: "Nothing is taboo for young people. Can't do anything about coincidences. As I get older, I don't want any big celebrations, but I still maintain a mental age of 18 years old! (Do you have to work on your birthday?) Yes! I didn't take a day off or anything, it would be best if the crew automatically gives me the day off. Actually the majority of my time is shooting with Bosco Wong, wait until he comes back to HK first, not sure when that is though. (Any pursuers that asked you out?) Nope, just friends and family taking up all my time. Also, I have a lot of jobs and I got a pimple today on my forehead as a gift!"

The single Niki reveals its not her first birthday without a boyfriend, so she's used to it. When speaking of her birthday wish, Niki smiled: "Don't ask me when I'm going to start dating, so stressful! But, if I'm really am dating and the relationship is stable, I would admit it. (Any one-night stands during your trip to Europe?) No! They are all people I know." Asked if she conveniently brought a wedding gift for her sister Kathy Chow, who is getting married next month? Niki expressed she didn't and avoided to respond to questions related to her sister's marriage. "I didn't schedule anything, just let her marry peacefully and happily! If she wants to say it, then she'll say it. I'm following orders, I cannot answer questions on her behalf."

After signing with her new company, Niki Chow returns to TVB later this month to start shooting new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire, where she plays a policewoman once again. Niki said: "It's different this time, I got promoted to senior inspector." Niki expressed this series is a challenge for her because it's her first time shooting a 30 episode series and they have to shoot in the summer. Whether if its her acting or physical ability, it is a challenge. Although she already has experience being a policewoman, she is still in the spirit of learning. Niki laughed: "Initially I thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to change my hairstyle and get my hair cut short. But then the director said they're not looking for a tomboy policewoman, and even ordered me to grow my hair as long as possible in order to bring out the femininity."

As she'll be shooting this series for a full 3 months, Niki joked: "I don't have to be dry anymore because I have the matured '3 Gor' (Michael Miu) and the 'young woman killer' Bosco Wong. (Bosco just broke up with Myolie Wu?) When we accepted this series, that didn't happen yet! (Bosco often has intense kiss scenes with his co-stars, will you avoid those scenes during this sensitive period to prevent rumors?) That is not what a professional artist does. After all, if it's necessary for the plot, then we'll do it. What's most important is that I have the ability to portray the role and have a good explanation for the producer. Can't think too much about gossips and rumors."

In the new series, Niki is involved in a love triangle with Michael Miu and Bosco Wong, but when speaking of Niki being an actual love triangle in real life? Niki frankly expressed: "I don't have two guys to choose from. This series satisfies me completely, I believe I'll be very moist in the next three months. I will enjoy my time being entangled between the two men and no longer have to be dry." In real life, Niki frankly said she doesn't get affected by situational pressure and rush to find a boyfriend just because she has to marry and have children.

Her sister Kathy Chow is finally getting married. Niki happily said: "I'm so relieved now that she's getting married. So happy! (Afraid you can't get married?) No, modern women have nothing to fear. It is a matter if I want to or not. What I'm happy about is that my sister is going to unfold a new page in life." Niki anticipates to see her sister become a mother the most. She wants to see the motherly love side of her. She said: "I think she'll become a mother very soon. I believe she's not far from this phase in life."

Yesterday Niki Chow, Michael Miu, Joey Meng, Mandy Wong and Vincent Wong attended the costume fitting of new series A Good Heart Goes Haywire. Bosco Wong is also part of the cast, but he was absent from the event. Niki reveals she'll be romantically involved with Bosco, Michael and Vincent. She joked perhaps the producer can see her love life been too dry, so he gave her more guys. When speaking of her in reality, it was rumored she's fighting with Christine Kuo for Kevin Cheng. Niki expressed she's currently focused on her career and declined to comment: "Ask the persons involved. (You are the person involved!) I still don't have any comments, concentrated on my work and I can't even keep up with all those rumors." When asked if she knows about Christine and Kevin's relationship? She said: "I'm not sure, actually I don't know why your asking me. (What is your impression on Christine?) I don't know her, we never collaborated before, but of course I do know who she is. I think we're all just focused on work, these things, like our love lives, I know everyone wants to know...but I really don't have anything to say. (Will there be awkwardness when you two meet?) I don't think so, this industry is small, I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet and collaborate, it doesn't really matter." Niki denied she had secret meetings with Kevin while they were working in Mainland and she refused to comment on whether if she thinks Christine and Kevin matches. She said helplessly: "There is always so many speculations. Perhaps everyone knows I'm single and no one else has appeared yet, so there are news like this. I cannot control it, so it's best not to care about it! (Maybe because everyone really wants to see you two reconcile?) Well.... I don't know what to say! Of course, I hope the media focuses more on our work, relationships...aiya.. I don't have anything else to say. (Have you kept in touch with Kevin?) Aiya...we're colleagues. (Are there any chances between you two?) Ahh..I don't know, I don't know how to answer. (Already good friends, any chance to develop further?) I really don't know, collaborating in series yes, but in personal life, I really don't know, let the Heaven decide."

Ex-rumored couple JJ Jia and Sammy Shum appeared together at the costume fitting yesterday. At first, despite standing besides one another, they still had zero interaction, but they later took pictures and accepted an interview together. They both expressed they are not embarrassed to work together. When asked if they may get back together in this series? Sammy said he had always been good friends with JJ, but his career is his current priority.

First time collaborating with Michael Miu, Joey Meng looks forward to work with him. When asked what type of impression Joey has on Michael? She said: "I've been watching his TV shows since I was young... oh no, I mean I was already pretty old. (Michael said it's fine, everyone says that.) In high school, my mom always scolded me for watching too much of Michael on TV and didn't do my homework." Joey gets to play Michael's wife on her first collaboration with her. She expressed she's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. When asked if they have to report to their other half? Michael said it's not necessary, they are all professional artists. Asked if there are any kiss scenes? Michael said: "Any kiss scenes? Still in the making..."

Back then, it was rumored Kevin Cheng and his 'underground girlfriend' Niki Chow broke up due to a third party, Charmaine Sheh. Since then, their relationship turned completely incompatible. After 4 years, it was recently rumored that Kevin sparked love with Christine Kuo after collaborating in Ghetto Justice II last year. As for Niki, she had a brief relationship with the Textile Prince (Eric), but after they broke up, her love life remained dry.

It was understood, because of Christine's good looks, nice body shape and her Western personality, many TVB male artists like her. However, Kevin is also one of the seun poons (best deal) in TVB City and a TV King. Kevin and Christine got more and more familiar after shooting Ghetto Justice II and love sparked from the kiss scene.

An insider reveals, Kevin and Christine's relationship grew rapidly, but they didn't want to make it public yet, so they've been in an underground relationship all along. Just when Christine becomes Kevin's girlfriend, Niki suddenly gets back into the picture and stops Christine from keeping her golden seun poon.

It was understood, when Niki attended Toby Leung's wedding last December and met Kevin again, they were no longer on bad terms. That day, Charmaine Sheh also kept glaring at Niki in fear that she and Kevin will get back together. According to the insider, although Niki had been unconvinced all along that Kevin gave up on her to be with Charmaine, she still couldn't forget him. Also, after she broke up with the Textile Prince, she hoped to reconcile with Kevin.

However, after Toby's wedding, Kevin rushed back to Hengdian to work on Mainland drama Hero, and coincidentally Niki also started focusing on the Mainland market at this time. It was understood, whether if they were in Hengdian or Shanghai, Niki and Kevin would still make time for brief secret meetings each night. In fact, earlier this February when Niki was asked if there was a chance she and Kevin could get back together? She said: "Why not ask him! I'll throw the ball over to him!" In May, she was asked again whether if she seen Kevin or not? She said: "We've been rumored for so long, I don't think it matters!"

Even if Niki and Christine are love rivals and unsure of the other party's situation with Kevin, they still want to compete for the "Mrs. Kevin" status. One is an ex-lover, while the other is a new love interest, it looks like Kevin is trapped in a dilemma. Despite knowing about Kevin and Christine, Niki did not care and continues to secretly meet him.

Reporters contacted Niki's manager to ask about the reconciliation rumors. She said: "We do not get involve in artists' personal lives. Niki is attending a public event tomorrow, you all can ask her then." The day after tomorrow is Kevin's birthday, wonder how they'll celebrate!

Niki - Not Many Guys VS Kevin - Many Girls

Kevin and Niki's relationship started after their collaboration in 2003's Hard Fate. At the time, they were in an underground relationship, but thereafter, they worked in separate places and with the addition of the Charmaine Sheh rumors, they eventually ended their 5 year relationship. After the breakup, Niki and Kevin went on with their own lives, but the 42 year old Kevin is still surrounded by girls!

NIKI

When the break up rumors broke out in 2008, Niki's sister Kathy Chow introduced her to Textile Prince (Eric). The two had a low-key relationship for two years, but broke up last year.

KEVIN

Charmaine Sheh (2008): Kevin got together with Charmaine behind Niki's back. The most classic was back then, Charmaine went to Kevin's home in Sai Kung and everyone in the neighborhood saw Charmaine in Kevin's home. However, they only had a two year relationship before breaking up. Charmaine also admitted they've dated before.

Jenny Tsui (2010): This China model was spotted staying at Kevin's Sai Kung house for 3 days, but it was rumored Kevin was displeased by someone using him for publicity. Once the relationship surfaced, it ended there as well.

Ying Er (Early 2012): Kevin and this 23 year old actress collaborated in Mainland drama Hero, but acting turned into real feelings. They were photographed at a night club drinking, but Kevin denied that they dated.

Annie Liu / Cecilia Liu (March 2012): Kevin got popular in Mainland from Startling By Each Step and had rumors with his two co-stars Annie and Cecilia. They often chat on Weibo.

Niki Chow, Macy Chan and Evergreen Mak were in Sham Shui Po's busy street shooting for an alternative ending for TVB series Sergeant Tabloid. This version of the ending picks up from the gun fight, but involves guest stars Macy Chan and Evergreen Mak instead. Macy and Evergreen play a married couple, who are drug dealers and starts a gun fight with the police. Because the series had previously been released in Malaysia and overseas, TVB had to put in another HK$500k into shooting the ending for the HK version and come up with a new plot. Dressed in a winter policewoman uniform, Niki was soaked in sweat, she laughed: "I never had to redo a scene after 6 months before, luckily I can still fit into the costume."

First time playing a pregnant thief, Macy said it felt like she's really pregnant. As for the recent scandals involving TVB Siu Sangs and Mainland actresses, she expressed she's not afraid boyfriend Eric Suen would cheat on her: "If he dares to, then he'll die miserably! I cannot tolerate it nor will I even consider getting back together!"

Famous model Kathy Chow, her sister Niki Chow, Jessica C. and Jacqueline Chong attended an event for hair care brand Kerastase yesterday. The sisters, Kathy and Niki, attended the event as a team and expressed they were pleased with the paycheck. Asked if they'll sign under the same manager too? Kathy suddenly laughed and said: "I always say when Niki films, I can be her substitute, like for camera angles at a distance or the shots from the back." Niki heard her sister's comment and said: "She's a very expensive substitute, maybe even more expensive than me!" Niki expressed she once thought of inviting her sister to participate in her MV. She said: "I thought which handsome guy could I get to pair up with my sister, someone that matches her. I'll sing and direct the MV myself, and also she never been in a MV before, so her first time must be given to me! (Why didn't it work out?) Couldn't find the right guy to match my sister or maybe I should of asked Julien (Kathy's boyfriend), he has the talent for comedy." Niki also attended another event yesterday and revealed she hopes to compose her own song: "The theme will probably be about love, can't get out of it, but I won't turn my love story into a song."

Earlier, Niki joined Richie Ren's entertainment company and was called a traitor. She clarified yesterday that she still has a very good relationship with TVB. She said: "My relationship with TVB have always been good, we still have a contract. (Per-series contract?) Yes! What's most important is we will still collaborate, so I don't understand why there are such reports and rumors." When asked why Virgina Lok didn't support her on the day she signed with Richie Ren? She sighed and explained: "Miss Lok initially said she would be coming, and I also agreed to hold a press conference at TVB, but our schedules clashed that day, so she wasn't able to come! After all, we still have communication!"

Yesterday the press conference was held for Niki Chow joining Richie Ren and Peter Lam's company Mountain Entertainment (ME) (大岳娛樂). Her colleagues William So and Wendy Zheng attended to support her. A magazine reported that actually Niki already signed a contract with TVB, but then she turned around and signed both her management and singer contract with ME, which angered TVB executive Virgina Lok. Due to this, TVB decided to pull out the 'traitor' Niki's latest series Sergeant Tabloid from the broadcast schedule. Sergeant Tabloid was initially scheduled to air in August. Regarding the rumor, Niki denied she's a traitor: "[You're] gonna kill me, there is basically no such thing." Niki made it clear that her relationship with TVB had always been good, and she still has a per-series contract with them. Whenever she shoots a HK series, she will definitely shoot them with TVB and she'll be participating in new series soon. ME primarily manages her work in Mainland, such as shooting dramas and her Mandarin album. There are no contractions between the two parties, therefore she's not going back to TVB to admit wrong, but just to shoot promotional clips.

In regards to her series getting pulled out of the schedule? She said: "Actually all along, there was no confirmation on when the series would air, there wasn't an official notice." Niki reveals her relationship with Miss Lok (Virgina) never changed, she was actually suppose to come support her at this press conference, but because there's a large-scale event at TVB, she wasn't able to attend.

Richie Ren reveals, Peter believes Taiwanese films provide greater space for productions/creations and so they are planning to invest 9 figures into ME for their artists to release albums and shoot films in Taiwan. In the future, there will be more and more artists joining ME. Although Richie has now become a boss, he will still continue to sing and act. He reveals he is currently shooting a film in Taiwan, in which he plays a gay man.

It has been widely rumored that once Shu Qi leaves East Asia and joins Huayi Brothers, Niki will replace her? Peter denied that Shu Qi's leaving East Asia and he didn't sign Niki to replace her.

Last year Niki Chow terminated her contract with BMA early in order to shoot TVB series Bottled Passion, since the company is part of HKRIA, which was in a royalty dispute with TVB at the time. To shoot the series, she rather give up her BMA contract and signed a two year per-series contract with TVB. As Niki has now regained her freedom again, she has been approached by several entertainment companies to discuss a new contract. Her good friend Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) was also the middle person to help her arrange a meeting with EEG. However, the discussions did not work out because the goals of the two parties differed. It was understood, Niki finally chose to join East Asia, becoming a colleague of Heavenly Kings Leon Lai and Andy Lau, Sammi Cheng, Andy Hui and Miriam Yeung. Rumors circulated in the public that Niki plans to set Shu Qi as a goal, who is leaving the company in October, and will go full throttle in her development in the film industry.

Loyal to TVB

Niki still loves acting, after her last series Sergeant Tabloid, she made it clear to East Asia that she hopes to shoot 1-2 series a year. Other East Asia artists like William So and Wilfred Lau turned to other TV stations, but Niki insists on staying with TVB and will fully charge into the film industry at the same time. Following her 2010 release of EP F.L.Y, Niki also plans to return as a singer and release a full studio album.

Niki Chow and her sister Kathy Chow were guests at the opening ceremony of the restaurant VIEW62. Niki reveals she signed with a new company, which will be announced in July. Reporters teased, asking if she found a company that could make her the Big Sister? Niki said: "It's a big company, with connections both locally and in Mainland. I didn't consider if I can be Big Sister or not, just looking for new developments. I still maintain a good relationship with TVB. In the near future, my time will mostly be spent working in Mainland because the market is really good there." It was rumored Ada Choi's salary reaches 200k RMB per episode in Mainland. Niki admitted she doesn't get that number, but her salary isn't weak either. She's also grateful of shooting series with TVB, that has got her more opportunities. Niki said: "If I shoot a 30 episode series, I do get 7 figures, but sometimes it's more about the cast and crew, the salaries could be negotiated." Niki expressed her salary is enough to buy a home and become a homeowner again. She said: "I just sold my home and profited about 40%. Women should rely on themselves and not men. I'm just renting now, save up more and get back into the market at the end of the year. I like the HK$10million homes in HK Island."

Kathy likes going out to try different foods. Asked if she cooks for her boyfriend Julien? She said she's best at making wontons and beef noodles. Asked when she's going to get married? Kathy joked: "My boyfriend hasn't proposed yet, but I may have marriage phobia and have to go see the psychiatrist! Actually I don't want to say too much, afraid it might be too 'sensitive'. The more you ask, the more it won't happen. So, it's best not to mention it."
