Earlier Benny Chan was involved in the sexual harassment of Rose Chan in Hengdian. He later took his wife out to hold a press conference for a public apology to Rose, he tearfully bowed several times hoping for her forgiveness. The apology didn't reduce Rose's mentor Master Sin's anger at all. Yesterday, Benny published a written public apology on the newspapers and expressed his willingness to donate to the 'End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation'. Finally, Rose forgives him.

Yesterday Master Sin Kwok Lam held a press conference. He expressed earlier after Benny made his public apology, he had been trying to contact him (Master Sin) through several different friends and expressed many different views. It was only until someone mentioned that Benny published a "Public Apology Statement" on several newspapers in both Hong Kong and Mainland to bring Rose's justice back. Benny demonstrated his sincerity and is also going to donate to the 'End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation'. He promised he won't make the same mistake again. Master Sin, Rose, her mother and manager felt the donation to 'End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation' was very meaningful because Benny was disrespectful to females and the foundation provides direct protection to weak females. Master Sin felt that both Benny and Joe did a good deed by donating to the foundation, turning the bad deeds into good one. He also sees Benny's sincerity, that this incident has left a deep impression on him, he is warning himself and has the determination to change.

Master Sin said: "Who hasn't made a mistake before? I have made mistakes before and made an apology in Foshan. Although Benny didn't handle the incident well earlier, this time he had the spirit and courage and great sincerity. According to the public apology published in Mainland, he had to personally go there and have a lawyer present as his witness. So, I decided to give him another chance."

Initially Rose was going to report the case to the Public Security in Mainland yesterday. Because the case had to be transferred to the Public Security, action must be taken 30 days after the incident. Since Rose may have to go to court several times in Mainland, it may mentally impact her greatly. Since there is an alternative solution to this case, it should be taken no further. Now that everything is settled, everyone can get back to work and live their normal lives as usual. Master Sin also expressed he never gave a 'deadline' to Benny and it was just purely a coincidence. He said: "I hope Benny will put his family and work as a his priorities and be a good artist."

Rose Chan’s (陳嘉桓) alleged sexual harassment by Benny Chan (陳浩民), while witnessed by Joe Ma (馬德鐘), took place on November 20th at 2 AM in Hengdian, China. When the photos were reviewed by Oriental Sunday’s editorial department, it was quite shocking! Oriental Sunday contacted Rose Chan’s manager to find out Rose’s relationship with Benny and Joe. Rose’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam (冼國林), was extremely angry over the incident.

Oriental Sunday sought out Rose for an interview. As the publication deadline had passed for last week’s issue at that point, the interview was printed in the current issue of the magazine instead. Since the incident had occurred within 24 hours, Rose’s reaction may be in its truest form and less inhibited than after her filing of the police report in Hong Kong several days later. Regarding her “humiliation” with the two “wolves” Benny Chan and Joe Ma, Rose expressed outright hatred!

OS= Oriental Sunday ; RC= Rose Chan

OS: What exactly occurred at the barbeque restaurant?

RC: I was eating dinner with a group of Hong Kong artists. Since we were all from Hong Kong and there were veterans present, I thought it would be a good idea to talk to each other and meet up. After they drank too much alcohol, the behavior as depicted in the photos occurred. I did not know what to do; I thought whether I should stay or leave.

OS: Did you talk to other people about the incident?

RC: I spoke with my family about the incident; they advised me to be more careful going forward and that I should decline dinner invitations with people I did not know well.

OS: Did you feel as if you were sexually harassed?

RC: I do not know how to answer you…. I was the most unhappy that such incidents really do occur.

OS: They touched you from behind and your thighs? Joe Ma also leaned on your shoulder!

RC: …I am very scared right now!

OS: Why are you so scared?

RC: I kept resisting them throughout the incident. Their actions became more severe and crossed the boundary. I was very unhappy at that moment, but I did not know what to do. Right before we left, I pushed him (Benny Chan) against the wall and asked what he was doing?!


OS: Throughout the incident, did they say anything sexually suggestive to you? You were whispering to Joe Ma and appeared to be quite intimate with him. Why did you not stop him?

RC: They asked whether I was drunk. I was drinking Coke at the time, so there was no possibility of getting drunk. I felt that they were testing me throughout [the evening]. I kept saying no; I could not accept it. When I went to work today and saw Timmy Hung (洪天明), I told him I do not want to eat dinner [with Benny Chan and Joe Ma] as I did not want to be in contact with them again.

OS: Before Timmy Hung got drunk, did Benny Chan and Joe Ma touch and kiss you?

RC: Timmy helped me in resisting [them].

OS: After Timmy got drunk, they [Benny and Joe] were more aggressive and crossed the boundary?

RC: Mmmm… (sigh) I felt things were not okay at that point. I thought we should quickly leave when Timmy woke up. Afterward, their behavior became increasingly improper (sigh). Throughout the incident, I resisted. I felt that this should not be happening; I was very scared! He kept on touching me from behind. I said that I was only here to eat and not to play with you! Perhaps they thought I was a little girl and easy to bully (sigh).

OS: Since you know Wing Chun martial arts, did you consider defending yourself?

RC: I was afraid that I would be unable to hit them offensively and that they would double their efforts on me.

OS: What do you consider to be the most offensive move they committed towards you?

RC: Forcefully kissing and forcefully holding me! (They didn’t kiss your lips?) No, I dodged it. This was the first time I was without my manager and colleagues by my side. Next time I work overseas, I will find a colleague I know well to stay by my side and decrease networking functions.

Oriental Sunday Followed Hong Kong Stars for 3 Nights

Numerous Hong Kong celebrities were currently filming in Hengdian, China. On November 16, 2011, a reporter and photographer from Oriental Sunday flew to Hengdian [to visit the filming crews], arriving on the sets of The Founding of the Yuan Empire <建元風雲>and Laughter Shaking Mo Lam <笑功震武林>. During Oriental Sunday staff’s visit, Timmy Hung assembled numerous Hong Kong stars from various filming projects for dinner. From November 17th to 19th for three nights, the stars “partied”!

November 17th 8:30 PM (Szechuan Dinner) – The dinner’s organizer, Timmy Hung, reserved a VIP room on the second floor of the restaurant. Throughout the evening, Timmy was spotted going up and down the stairs to receive the artists attending the dinner. At 9:30 PM, Rose Chan arrived and Timmy went downstairs to receive her. After the dinner, the group boarded into different cars to go to a karaoke establishment. Despite attending the dinner, Alex Fong (方中信), did not follow the group to the karaoke and apparently went back to his hotel.

November 17th 10:30 PM (Karaoke) – The group arrived at the karaoke establishment and stayed until 1 AM. Timmy Hung left first without Rose Chan. Joe Ma, Benny Chan, Rose Chan, Terry Fan (樊少皇) sang until 2 AM before leaving together.

November 18th Lamb Dinner – Oriental Sunday was unable to discern where various Hong Kong artists had gathered for the evening. However, a group photo of the lamb dinner was posted on Weibo.

November 19th 8:00 PM (Hot Pot Dinner) – Oriental Sunday staff discovered that various Hong Kong celebrities had gathered for a hot pot dinner.

November 19th 10:00 PM (Karaoke) – The group of artists followed with another night of karaoke.

November 20th 12:30 AM – After karaoke, the women (except Rose Chan) returned to their hotels escorted by the male artists. Benny Chen drove one passenger on his motorcycle; Joe Ma drove two passengers in his car and Timmy Hung drove Meng Yao (孟瑤).

November 20th 1:00 AM – (Werewolves Appear) After the female artists were settled, the men went to a barbeque restaurant. The brave Rose Chan ventured with the group. Unfortunately, Timmy Hung fell into a drunken stupor shortly after arriving at the barbeque restaurant. Benny Chan’s behavior crossed the boundary line, while Rose Chan and Joe Ma appeared to be quite intimate in the photos. Oriental Sunday staff quickly took photos documenting the entire incident.

According to sources, earlier Rose Chan filed a police report on her sexual harassment case with the HK Police, but because of the judicial system, the HK police can only conduct limited investigations and are unlikely to get enough evidence to press charges on the persons involved (Benny Chan/Joe Ma). Within a day, Sin Kwok Lam (Rose's mentor) filed a report with the Public Security in Mainland and reported to the Hong Kong Court of the allegations against Benny Chan for infringement of bodily integrity. The HK police classified the case as an outside offense, the procedures will start next week. Benny will be meeting with the police next week and may take an oral statement.

No contact of sensitive areas of the body

Yesterday Master Sin and TVB executive Virgina Lok held a joint press conference and attracted nearly 50 reporters to the scene. Virgina said: "After discussing with Master Sin in the past two days and coming to a consensus, many thanks for the understanding and support. Joe Ma just called me, he wanted to thank Master Sin, Rose Chan and her family." Master Sin said Joe admitted he did not handle the incident properly, and did not lend a helping hand. He said: "I asked Rose before, she said at the time Joe pulled her closer because he wanted to comfort her. I asked if she was alright and [learned] his hand did not touch any sensitive part of her body. Joe explained at the time he did have too many drinks and didn't react immediately to offer his help. People makes mistakes, forgive whenever possible. After understanding the truth, [we] will not wrong a good man." Master Sin also said Joe initiated an apology and didn't push the responsibilities. He is sincere, never tried to escape from the incident, didn't borrow Rose Chan to reach a higher level [in his career] and when Rose was feeling down, he showed his understanding and tolerance.

Does not forgive Benny Chan

However, Master Sin insists on 'biting tightly' on Benny Chan and won't let him go. He is furious when he saw Benny Chan and his manager on Weibo not admitting to the [inappropriate] acts done on Rose. They pushed the responsibility and pun was intended in their language. Master Sin was asked if he forgives Benny? He said: "His behavior and actions were inappropriate. This is clearly a serious matter, the laws are on the ground and he still pushed away the responsibility. He is morally wrong! (Benny's press conference didn't touch you?) A lot of it was to conceal a fault. His entire speech was written on paper, even the several bows he did was written out on paper, the answer is in the heart! His so-called apology, he was not honest since the incident happened. First he said he didn't touch Rose, then he explained he had 'good hospitality', then he pushed away the responsibility, saying he has to be wiser when meeting people and finally he said someone is borrowing him to get up top, that the more popular someone is, the more gossips there will be! I cannot see his sincerity at all! I will not consider his so-called apology." Asked about the earlier police report, which one of them was the accusations directed upon? He said: "We are just speaking the truth. Whoever is sued, the Department of Justice will decide. I don't think Joe Ma will be sued."

As for Rose Chan's press conference, in which she mentioned "The two seniors turned to a totally different person", Sin Kwok Lam explained: "Cute suddenly turns into a wolf. Why wouldn't a modest noble offer his helping hand? Hopes turned into disappointment, so that's why she said that, because she had really good impression on these two before, but suddenly they turned into this."

Regrets slapping Rose and calling her stupid

Master Sin exposed he questioned Rose as to why she was often seen with Benny and Joe at the nightclubs, to such an extent as to giving others the opportunity [to harm her], but Rose couldn't answer. He said: "I kept pursuing the questions on her, girls should always maintain her distance even if she knows the person well. I slapped her once on the face and called her stupid. I only did that because I care about her. I still haven't apologized to her yet." It was rumored they received a 'shut up order', Master Sin expressed there is no such thing.

When speaking of Rose Chan being involved in Timmy Hung and Janet Chow's relationship, Master Sin urged the media to stop making up stories. He said he also received an apologetic SMS from Timmy: "He is my nephew (TN: not an actual nephew), Sammo Hung is a respected big brother of mines. Timmy didn't protect Rose knowing that he (Benny) had a history of this and didn't warn her! For his father and himself, he should keep away from these friends."

It was rumored Joe Ma and his wife are having some issues in their marriage. Virgina said Joe's wife already went to Mainland to accompany and support her husband. Master Sin sent a message: "His wife put in a great deal of effort, he really has to cherish the present and his family." Asked if the incident has caused any impact on Joe and TVB's relationship? Virgina said: "Two separate issues. The urgent priority now is to settle this case. Artists who are not in HK should not get too comfortable, still have to put the guards up and defend. You can drink, but you may not get drunk. Rose Chan is a very simple girl, hope she'll be ok soon and can get back into her work."

Yesterday Rose Chan held a press conference in Kwun Tong accompanied by her manager and lawyer to discuss the 'drunk sexual harassment' incident involving Benny Chan and Joe Ma. Over 50 reporters were present.

Rose started the press conference by expressing her feelings in the last several days: "Thanks to all the media for the concern. After the incident, my mentor and everyone in my company as well as myself have been very unhappy. I want to clarify the incident. Earlier when I was shooting a new film in Mainland, I would meet up with the other artists for dinner. Two days before the incident, we had dinner, nothing happened. Also, I go to these dinners because Timmy Hung is there. Timmy is someone I trust and also Timmy's father Sammo Hung is very familiar with my mentor. That night during supper because I wanted to sit with Timmy, I stayed behind. Initially nothing was happening, but when Timmy passed out, this incident happened. At the time, I was really scared. They are two of my seniors that have a very happy family. I thought they would see me as a little girl, but I couldn't believe they could turn into a different person. I just couldn't react..."

At this point, Rose paused and then continued: "My master warned me to be careful. I really didn't have enough alertness and had to say sorry to my mentor at home for making them worry!"

During the whole explanation, Rose was able to control her emotions and remained calm. When she mentioned her family and mentor, she couldn't hold it anymore, she kept her head down and did not speak. Tears were filling up her eyes, and it was only after a moment when she was able to accept questions from the media.

Reporter: When the incident was happening, did you resist?

Rose: Yes, I did, but I couldn't react in time. They were people I trusted...and I'm unfamiliar with everything, I didn't know how to leave.

Reporter: Did you drink?

Rose: No

Reporter: Joe Ma said he and Master Sin came to consensus?

Manager: Boss never said that!

Lawyer: In fact, when you go report a case, after reporting, the police decides who the defendant and witnesses are.

Reporter: Have Joe Ma and Benny Chan ever apologized?

Rose: (pauses) It is not convenient for me to say. When everything is handled, I will say.

Reporter: Earlier Rose, you said you tried to resist, but after Joe came into contact with your body, then he helped you put on jacket?

Rose: I did try to resist, but in fact I didn't have my guard up and was not alert.

Reporter: Is this your first time meeting them in Mainland?

Rose: Yes, I met them in Hengdian. We often go out for dinner in a large group.

During the time Rose was answering questions from reporters, there were several questions, she didn't how to face and had to have others help her answer. Just like "How long did the actions (hugs/kisses) last?", "Did they touch your sensitive areas or chest area?", "In some photos, you were smiling?" Rose did not answer. Her lawyer sitting besides her said they reported the case to the police and anything details related to the case cannot be answered.

A police spokesperson expressed that yesterday the police received a report from a 19 year old girl. She claimed that she was sexually harrassed while in Mainland earlier. The case will be handled as an abroad crime.

Rose Chan (陳嘉桓) was unfortunately sexually harassed by Benny Chan (陳浩民) and Joe Ma (馬德鐘) while in Hengdian, China several days ago. Sunday Magazine’s publication of the photos chronicling the harassment incident ignited angry reactions among Hong Kong celebrities, with Nick Cheung (張家輝) and Simon Yam (任達華) blasting the men’s unscrupulous behavior. Nick Cheung even cursed angrily, “If someone violated my daughter in this manner, I will [expletive] kill him!”

Nick Cheung noted, “My wife, Esther Kwan (關詠荷), and I are artists and also the parents of our daughter. If the harassment did in fact occur, I support the police to step in to handle the situation. If you consider the situation from Rose’s family’s perspective, they must be very hurt.” (If someone violated your daughter in such a manner, what will you do?) “I will [expletive] kill him! Even if you are drunk, you have to be responsible for your behavior!”

Condemned for Lewd Behavior
Nick professed that he did not know Rose Chan, Joe Ma, or Benny Chan well, but felt that Rose was only a young girl. Since she was working in China alone, veteran actors should take care of her. The reporter pointed out that life in Hengdian was dull and there was not much entertainment; thus, actors were easily prompted to “commit wrongdoings.” Nick strongly disagreed, “I also filmed in Hengdian in the past. As to whether you commit wrongdoings or not depend on the person. Please remember to tell everyone that the entertainment industry is not like this!”

Upon learning of Rose being sexually harassed, Simon Yam said, “They acted in such a horrendous manner? If this were true, they need to reflect upon their actions! Drinking can lead to problems! The Monkey King (Benny Chan’s) powers cannot match Wing Chun martial arts. Why don’t you ask Dennis To (杜宇航) to take a few sips and have a few rounds with him!” Simon urged Benny Chan and Joe Ma to issue public apologies to Rose Chan.

After seeing the harassment photos, Eric Tsang (曾志偉) angrily blasted, “That should not have happened! That’s too much! Let me go back and use my Wing Chun powers to knock those guys down!” (You will teach them a lesson?) “When I go to Hengdian next month, I will be sure to do so! Benny Chan often plays wildy, but Joe Ma is not like that! Perhaps he drank some fake wine? Last month, there was a chauffer who drank some fake white wine and he turned violent.”

Eric often got into trouble after drinking too much. Due to his experience, Eric said, “The worst thing is that you do not recall what happened even after you have gained mental clarity. Perhaps now they are immensely regretting their actions.” (But when you are drunk, you do not commit such lewd actions?) “That’s because my health is in a poor condition!”
Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) commented that it was inevitable that artists had to go drinking for networking purposes. He will be careful in avoiding getting drunk. “If I wish to drink, I will stay home to do so. If there are any problems, this will not impact other people.”

When asked to comment on Rose’s harassment incident, Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) indicated that she was unclear about the situation and did not wish to interject. Myolie indicated that she has only encountered gentlemen since entering the industry. Asked whether she was taken advantage of while drunk, Myolie replied, “No!” (How would you react if it happened to you?) “I do not know, but I hope it does not happen to any woman!”

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) hoped that Rose’s emotions will return to normal soon. “I have filmed in mainland, China too and there were celebratory banquets. Each time, I have to work early in the morning, thus I did not stay too long at the dinners. Although my alcohol tolerance is not high, no one forced me to drink with them.”

Supporters of Benny Chan and Joe Ma

Benny Chan’s good friend, Evergreen Mak (麥長青), trusted that Benny possessed a good character. “I do not understand why the photos were taken at such a close distance! There were so many people present. If the harassment had indeed occurred, someone should have stopped it.” (Will you urge Benny Chan to drink less?) “He has been drinking less. Last time I saw him, he did not even drink.”

Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) supported that Joe Ma was a gentleman. “Since entering the industry, I have been very lucky. The senior actors have taken good care of me. Joe Ma is a good ‘si hing’ [senior brother]. The actors at TVB are very gentleman and take care of junior artists.” (If Moses Chan (陳豪) acted in such a manner, what would you do?) “Ha ha! It depends on whom he kisses!”

Earlier Rose Chan encountered a "Devil Claw Wolf Kisses" incident in Hengdian. She and Timmy Hung, Benny Chan and Joe Ma were having late night BBQ, initially it was just a normal supper, but later Rose turned into the Dim Sum for "hungry wolves" (referring to Benny/Joe)!

At the scene, it was seen Rose was having supper with the group. The three men were drunk, Timmy passed out, while the other two tried to force kiss Rose several times. To stop Rose from screaming, Benny used force covering Rose' mouth with his hand. This frightened Rose so much she didn't know what to do! As for the other 'male lead', Joe Ma, who was sitting right next to her didn't stop Benny, but went to give her more hugs and kisses. Their behavior indeed went over the line.

As the situation was serious, Rose's management and boss (Sin Kwok Lam) was furious after seeing the photos from the magazine report. Initially, Rose was scheduled to be back in Hong Kong early next month, however, after this incident, her boss instantly changed her schedule and had her fly back last night. This afternoon, Sin will be holding a press conference, according to sources, they will also visit the police department vowing to win Rose's justice back.

After the wild incident, Benny admitted to his wrongdoings on Weibo yesterday afternoon, but he described himself to have 'good hospitality': "I am wrong, just blame that I have too good hospitality, I really treat my friends from the heart. We were all shooting in Hengdian, and a group of friends went out together for dinner, but the form of expression was too exaggerated that led my friend to feel uncomfortable. I caused worries to my family and friends. I am most thankful for the trust my wife has for me. In the future, I will be more careful and be wise when meeting people."

However, after the 'force kissing' photos came out, the incident started heating up. Five hours later, Benny writes on Weibo again. This time, he changes his words and apologized. Benny stressed he didn't have any inappropriate feelings for Rose: "Today I saw the report, and because of my playfulness, I brought too much trouble to everyone. I frightened Rose and cause angered to Master Sin (Sin Kwok Lam). To this, I am officially announcing my apology to the related parties of this incident. I also hope Rose's work won't be affected because of this incident. I just have a brother-sister relationship with you, nothing more. I hope Master Sin understands this and I apologize once again."

Subsequently, Joe Ma also changed his response after the photos leaked. He explained: "That day I was drunk, but I was still aware of my surroundings. I saw Rose wasn't happy, so I just wanted to show my concern and comfort her. I absolutely did not do anything inappropriate to her." When asked of Benny's condition at the time? Joe drew a line with him: "I'm not sure of the other matters!" Although Joe is currently troubled by the incident, yesterday Joe still attended the 911 CARRERA car expo in Guangzhou with famous model Ana R.

Rose Chan celebrated her 19th birthday in Hengdian earlier with the cast of new film 笑功震武林 including Timmy Hung, Joe Ma, Alex Fong (Chung Sun), Michelle Ye and Benny Chan. Since many of the cast where HK artists, it is rare to meet a large group of 'friends' in a foreign place and so the group decided to have dinner together. It was also another staff member's birthday, so after the dinner, Rose, Timmy, Benny, Joe and the other staff went to sing karaoke to celebrate. During the time, someone tried to convince Rose to drink, but she explained: "I'm underage, so I just want to drink juice" to turn the person down.

After karaoke, the group went out for supper at a BBQ place. At the BBQ, there was only Timmy, Benny and Joe remaining, and they were already drunk. Timmy was so drunk, he fell asleep at the table. Benny and Joe were so drunk they got out of hand. It was said Joe first went to hug and kiss Rose, then Benny gave Rose a kiss on the cheek and lips. Rose was so frightened her "soul flew away". First she had to use her hand to block off Joe and then use the other hand to cover her face from Benny, she shouted: "I'm still young, don't play!" One of the staff saw this and quickly pulled the two men away. Later, Joe and Benny apologized to Rose.

Regarding Rose's unpleasant event in Mainland, her mentor and manager (Sin Kwok Lam) expressed the details of situation is limited, but he is already very angered. Sin feels some people are even worse than a beast, bully young girls! He said with anger: "Wait until I find out the details of the story. If it is serious, I will definitely not be lenient, must take legal action and call the police. We are currently seeking legal advice from a lawyer."

However Sin, who is known to be fair, also scolded Rose for being incompetent of protecting herself: "The entertainment circle should have mutual trust. Being intoxicated (drunk) is just an excuse. She (Rose) is really not subtle enough, didn't know how to protect herself. I already scolded her for a whole hour. Such stupidity, these people treating young girls like that, of course it is not good. They are not assisting the younger generation at all, but instead take such inappropriate actions, I look down on these type of people."

Reporters contacted Rose to ask about her unpleasant event. Asked if the drunk Joe and Benny went too far, hugging and kissing her? Ros expressed: "This did in fact happen, I did push them away, perhaps they were drunk and there are some misunderstanding." Rose admitted Joe and Benny did apologize to her: "They said sorry to me. I just hope such unpleasant events won't ever happen again. When we go out to eat, it is usually a large group of people, I know how to protect myself, but it still turned out to be like this. In the future, I really have to avoid coming into contacted with people who are drunk! (After this incident, will you be upset and unhappy?) Of course I am unhappy, didn't think it would be like this. I hope this will not happen again."

Benny claims he was sober, no hugs/kisses, fears wife might miscarriage
Currently in Mainland, Benny was asked yesterday about the hugging and kissing incident with Rose? Benny appeared shocked: "What did I do? (Rose admitted you apologized to her after the incident?) Why did I have to say sorry to her! Last night we did go for supper, the boss and assistant were there too. What could I do in public? (Did you hug and kiss her?) No! Why would I? At most was whisper in her ear or put my arm on her shoulder. If even that kind of contact, she feels uncomfortable, then I can call her and say sorry! Because I did not have any motive to do something disrespectful at all. (Were you drunk?) I drank a little, but I was sober. I even drove the motorcycle back home! (Does your wife know?) No, I'm really worried how you all will write about this because my wife will be going into labor soon, don't want to frightened her so much that she'll miscarriage!"

Timmy was also present that night, reporters contacted him yesterday and he admitted he was there too, but he was drunk and didn't know what was going on. Timmy said: "I dazed off in the middle, Benny joked and asked Rose if she wanted to eat sheep testes, but Rose it was disgusting and was really scared. Benny then put the sheep testes near her and wanted her to eat it, so that's why there was a misconception that he kissed her! (Did you see the hugging?) It is just giving her support! As far as I know, Benny is a very playful person."

Joe Ma expressed over the phone: "I was just telling Rose a secret since I wanted to play a trick on Benny. (Did you hug and kiss her?) No, just got close to her. (What secret were you telling her?) Trick him into eating the sheep testes."

Rose Chan Ka Hung yesterday modeled a stocking event. Today Rose will return to the Mainland to work on two films. First she will go to Hengdian for Wong Jing's SIU GUNG JUN MO LUM (LAUGHTER KUNG FU ROCKS MARTIAL ART WORLD), then she will go to Yunnan for the Xiong Xinxin directed GUANG HUI SUI YUE. She will have to fight in both films and expect to wrap up both in January next year. Would she lose extra money making opportunities? She said, "My full time job is acting! However I will have to reschedule some jobs that I took earlier to be done after my return." Michelle Ye (Yip Shuen) reportedly found a boyfriend in the Mainland, would she like to? She said, "No, I hope to focus on making movies first." She also said that if she was dating, communication would be the most important. Thus she would not mind the issue of geography. Would she mind finding a Mainland boyfriend? She said, "I mind dating myself! Because I will turn 19 next month, I don't want to date so soon. My birthday wish is for career and not for a boyfriend. (Would you want a career line?) I don't want line, the line on my hand (career line) is OK too."

Famous international eyeglass designer Mr. Alain Miklitarian is known to be 'enthusiastic'. Last night, when he attended the event for his brand alain mikli, he still acted the same way being very 'playful' touching his female guests Rose Chan and Charmaine Sheh.

"Someone warned me to be careful"

During the group pictures, he suddenly swept his hands by Rose's short skirt, frightening Rose so much, she pulled back. Later, Rose was asked about his 'enthusiasm'? She said: "Before I went on stage, someone already warned me, said he (Alain) is very playful and told me to be careful. When we were taking pictures, I felt his hand touching the side of my pants lightly. My first instinct was to pull back a little. He saw this and immediately said sorry. (Do you mind his enthusiastic actions?) I think Westerners are more enthusiastic, but I will be more careful in the future!"

"He didn't do much"

As for Charmaine, she wasn't able to escape either. Aside from grabbing her face and having arms wrapped around her waist, she also got an unexpected kiss on the cheek by Mr. Alain. Charmaine was instantly surprised. Later during the interview, she generously said: "Enthusiastic? I think so, Westerners are like that. (Do you mind?) He didn't do much, just being friendly and feeling happy. (But you were quite surprised?) I didn't that would happen, and my shoes are really high."

Late June, Charmaine will be shooting producer Chik Kei Yi's new TVB series 4 In Love with Moses Chan, then immediately after she'll be heading to Mainland to shoot another series. As for her current series My Sister of Eternal Flower's finale, Charmaine expressed she won't be inviting the cast to watch the finale together since Raymond Lam has to work, but she has faith on the TV ratings.

Sam Lee gained a group of housewife fans after the broadcast of TVB series Ghetto Justice. He felt that the feeling is very close and happy. He currently wants to portray a villain the most: "With my facial appearance, it should be a fresh new feeling." Asked if he's considered a good friend of Nicholas Tse? He immediately changed the subject: "Don't talk so much!"

Raymond Lam's two rumored girlfriends Linda Chung and Rose Chan were said to have similar looks. Yesterday the two encounter one another at beauty salon opening ceremony. It was seen that Linda and Rose were very generous on stage and chatted happily. Linda laughed: "I haven't seen Rose before, but I know people say she looks like me. I don't really feel so though, most important is that I personally have my own feeling. (She's also rumored with Raymond Lam?) Just a coincidence, and I want to talk to her. I feel she's a very sweet and tall girl."

When speaking of not having to appear sexy for the beauty salon endorsement, Linda said: "Because the boss loves me very much, it's not my own request. Actually the boss feels that I have a healthy image. (Will the next season Ads be in a bikini?) The most important is healthy results, doesn't matter if its bikini. I lived in Canada before and is considered a Western girl, so the outcome results are pretty, I don't mind. (Will you it be money-based?) My manager decides that, I don't understand these things, I am just responsible for bringing myself out."

Roses also felt she doesn't look like Linda. She said: "People have always said that, but I personally don't think so. (Does Raymond think so?) You have to ask him, I don't keep in touch with him. However, I really admire Linda, before I watched her performance as Seung Joi Sum (Heart of Greed), her acting was so real, she cried beautifully. I have to watch more of her work. (Feel awkward being at the same event?) No, not awkward with anyone."

Earlier Rose Chan was rumored with Raymond Lam. It was reported that Raymond is a playboy. During the time he was dating Mavis Pan, besides Rose Chan, there was also a "fourth party" Tang Yan who was involved in the relationship. Yesterday Rose was asked about Raymond's "fourth party" rumor, she said that it is too exaggerated and clarified that the rumor has nothing to do with her. She won't care about the rumor and feels the reports are nonsense. As she is being described as the 'little third' (3rd Party), She asked back: "Because I am young, teasing that I'm a third grade student?"

Rose was asked if she felt Raymond is playboy? She said she only collaborated with him in MVs and didn't get to know him. As for someone is borrowing Raymond's fame to get up top? She said: "That's not me! I am innocently getting dragged into this rumor. I hope reporters will stop asking me about Raymond's issues. (Is she worried that there will be speculations?) The innocent will be innocent!" Asked if she will reject to collaborating with Raymond again? She said she will not reject any collaboration with anyone.

Rose reveals she has been enjoying Raymond's new series My Sister of Eternal Flower, but has not paid particular attention to Raymond's parts. She's actually more focused on watching Charmaine Sheh's performance and hopes to steal some acting tips. She also said that she will soon be shooting in Mainland: "The greatest difference from HK is that I will have to speak Mandarin."

Mavis said she's sick, cancels HK promotion

Raymond's ex-girlfriend Mavis Pan was initially suppose to come to HK this Sunday to promote for new film Treasure Inn. Because she is coming to HK in high-profile for the promotion, it caught the media's attention. The film production company already arranged a series of promotional activities, but Mavis said she's sick and suddenly canceled her trip to HK. Her company expressed that Mavis will be arranged to come to HK later.
