TVB Celebrity News

34E Samantha Ko (Ko Ling) successfully gains recognition in the entertainment circle. Since Samantha participated in Miss HK in 2008, she had been the goddess to the "HK Golden brothers" (from the popular HK Golden forum). When attending public events, Samantha is often requested to dress sexily and show off her nice body figure.

In her latest TVB series Friendly Fire, it was the opportunity for her to change her image. She even had a rape scene in the series, which caught a lot of attention. Ko Ling said without concealing: "I've long had the desire to portray this type of role and series. Of course I'm not talking about the rape scene, but I really wanted a role that I could really develop on. Usually being somebody's girlfriend, there's only on way to present that." If Ko Ling gets a role where she can display her acting skills, then she doesn't care whether there is a rape scene or not.

Goes to Thank Producer in Tears

Ko Ling's greatest weapon is her sexy body figure, but she actually hopes to wash this image away and let everyone get to know her all over again. Ko Ling's blood and sweat acting was her first step in accepting challenges. She is very grateful of Producer Man Wai Sing for casting her in this series. Ko Ling said: "People always say no matter what role it is -- a mistress, lover, girlfriend or crazy HK girl -- Ko Ling gives off a sexy feeling. But when the producer and scriptwriter watched me on the food programs, they can see the real Ko Ling actually isn't like that. At the time, I went to the producer in tears, finally someone can see that I'm not the way people think I am. It was that type of happiness when someone finally discovers the real you. I thanked them in tears." Ko Ling was finally able to put her chest away when she went for the costume tryouts.

Kiki is similar to the real Samantha

Ko Ling had resonance with her role (Kiki). Kiki's personality and family background is very similar to hers in reality. She said: "Kiki is somewhat similar to me. She grew up in poverty and lived in a rooftop hut before. When I was young, I really did live in a rooftop hut before. I struggled before too, so that's why I worked really hard in school and relied on myself to change my life. When I was portraying Kiki, it was easier for me to grasp her mentality." Ko Ling reveals her father saw her performance and ended up with teary eyes as well. She said: "Kiki's mother has a street stall, which is very similar to my mother in real life. My whole family watched this series and felt sympathy."

The controversial series Friendly Fire finally pulled down its curtains, but Ko Ling actually feels pressured, she said: "I'm currently working on two new series Will Power and Unrequited Love for Two Cities. When this series got such strong feedback, I'll be happy if the audience thinks I improved, but I don't want them to think I'm not improving. This becomes pressuring for me. My greatest hope is to get one series after another. I really anticipate a "Most Improved Actress" award nomination at this year's TVB awards based on my role in this series."

Yesterday Tavia Yeung, Sammy Leung, Sharon Chan, Samantha Ko and the rest of the cast of TVB series Friendly Fire attended the promotional event. At the promotion, the cast played "The Best Sleeping Look" game. Sammy suddenly did a handstand and revealed his big belly, then he forgot Sharon's name and got teased by the MC Jack Wu: "You're not just depressed! You have dementia too!" Sammy was having so much fun and played hard, he later gave Michael a big kiss too.

Samantha Ko (Ko Ling) rape scene will be broadcasting on Wednesday, when the female lead, Tavia Yeung, was asked if she stole her limelight? Tavia generously said: "It's her debut scene, it's good there is noise from the public." Tavia and Michael's two minute scene was also a big hit, Tavia laughed and said that night, she tricked her mother out to dinner and prevented the mother-daughter from watching an embarrassing scene together.

Ko Ling guaranteed her scene won't be one second and said many colleagues are extremely curious on how the scene will play out. As for when she was filming the scene, she said only the necessary staff remained in the studio. She just revealed her back, everything in the front of her body was covered, even her belly button couldn't be seen. Also, the costume staff took great care of her and covered her tightly before the cameras rolled.

It was said TVB artist Samantha Ko relies solely on her 'relationship' with the boss Chan Kwok Keung to get up top and successfully 'kicked' Kate Tsui out. Once the report published, TVB quickly held a press conference for Samantha, where she clarified the rumor in tears. Kate and Samantha also made a second clarification on Scoop together. TVB decided to send out a lawyer's letter prohibiting the FACE magazine reporters from entering TVB City for interviews. In addition, the boss Chan Kwok Keung was very upset by the issue, therefore a SMS was sent out to all TVB artists, stating the FACE Magazine Issue#287 cover story is completely fabricated, which damages TVB's reputation and there are plans to take legal action against the magazine. Effective immediately, [FACE] reporters are not allow to participate in any of TVB's programs and events, Mr. Chan asked all of his artists to accommodate this new regulation until further notice. Although the message was clearly a "friendly reminder", nobody dares to disobey the imperial order. (image).

Reporters contacted TVB deputy director of foreign affairs, Mr. Tsang Shing Ming, to confirm if the "friendly reminder" message was sent to all TVB artists. He frankly expressed: "It's a personal message to the artists from the artists department. TVB will no longer tolerate fabricated stories and false reports. The main reason is because we must protect our artists' reputation and safeguard TVB's image." Samantha Ko thanked TVB for their defense, but she does not want to mention the issue again. Christine Kuo who had also emotionally broke down before due to false news, expressed: "I respect TVB's decision. (Do you think TVB only did something because the boss Chan Kwok Keung was one of the victims?) Of course not, before when the media invaded Vincent Wong and Bosco Wong privacy, TVB already took action. They have always protected their artists."

Yesterday Samantha attended an event in a great mood. When asked about the recent rumors with the TVB boss, she said she has recovered from it. She also exposed she has a rape scene in her new series Friendly Fire. When speaking of disappointing the audience, she laughed: "The rape is not the main focus. This time, there is lots of character development."

Today Samantha Ko was accompanied by TVB Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) at TVB City for a press conference regarding the recent magazine cover story reporting Samantha Ko had successfully "kicked out" Kate Tsui because TVB's boss Chan Kwok Keung is "romantically interested" in Samantha. It was reported she is now known as the "female boss" to everyone within TVB. Samantha came out to clarify how wronged she felt. She expressed in tears that every artist within TVB takes it one step at a time to get to where they are today, and they don't rely on relationships or anything. She was also grateful for Kate Tsui comforting her.

Samantha expressed she felt very unhappy about the report and denounced the report is not true at all, therefore she must clarify. She did not depend on relationships or connections to get to where she is at today and she does not hope all her hard work and future goes to waste because of these negative news. She is also afraid this would affect how the public thinks of her and her reputation.

She continued and said this is not her first time having false news written about her, such as buying new cars and homes or dating wealthy businessmen. It is all not true. As for the rumor that she and TVB boss Chan Kwok Keung are in a relationship, Samantha said: "I know he is the boss, but I have never been in contact with him before. Also, the report has affected my parents, they are worried. Just by this single fabricated report, we are all unhappy." At one point, Samantha felt so wronged she teared up, and stressed nobody at TVB is calling her "Lo Ban Leung" ("female boss", wife of the boss). She said: "I just feel shocked and wronged. Time after time, there are these fake stories. Actually I don't know how to explain it, I just feel helpless."

Mr. Tsang Sing Ming expressed: "Today TVB is formally taking legal action against that magazine publication and will be sending out a lawyer's letter demanding for their responsibility towards this issue. Also, effect immediately, all reporters from this magazine company are prohibited to enter TVB City and prohibited to interview artists in all TVB-related events until further notice." Mr. Tsang expressed this action is requested by the boss Chan Kwok Keung, "We must protect our artists and safeguard TVB's reputation and rights because it is all false and fabricated. We will not handle these situations like how we did in the past, taking legal action is hoping to discontinue fabricated stories/news. If we do not take action to stop this, these things will just go on and on."

Wayne Lai, Natalie Tong and Sire Ma attended the end-of-filming dinner of TVB new series Detective Columbo. Initially the cast was going to each pitch in to pay for the meal, but Wayne took initiative and just treated everyone himself to reward the crew for all their hard work. He spent approximately 5 figures. Wayne said shooting the series for three months was truly difficult and now that they finally finished, it's time to celebrate. In the series, he had 5-6 different costumes, which has been the most among all the series he has done in his career. Wayne reveals this is a heavy and serious series, but it has always been his desire to shoot a light-hearted romantic comedy and it would be best for his female co-star to be a young actress, such as Samantha Ko or this year Miss HK winner.

The film THE FORTUNE BUDDIES (GAING CHAU FUK LUK SAU) after ten days in release made over 6 million. Two nights ago a celebration was held. Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Yuen Siu Cheung, Wong Cho Nam, Johnson Lee Si Jit, Maggie Cheung Ho Yi, Samantha Ko Hoi Ning and Lam Ha Mei attended. Chi Wai publicly complimented Ko Hoi Ning's potential.

The film had many young actors and actresses. Chi Wai praised Ko Hoi Ning, who had luck with the audience and was hard working. She would not show too much out of the blue and had a clean impression. As for Koni Lui Wai Yi who was linked to him in rumors, Chi Wai said, "She isn't pretty and has no figure so she is the substance school. Every time she comes out she loses. She pushes up randomly for Mr. Hong Kong and gets yelled at, when she hides people talk. (So you hide her?) Her legs are so long, how do you hide her?"

Speaking of the Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi divorce, Chi Wai pointed out that divorce was OK. If they could raise the children together that would be the best. He also said that breaking up was inevitable. If they were unhappy then they should not be together. Fung Chi spent more time apart than together, being together in a circle was a science. Did he feel Fung Chi would reunite? He said that he did not know, nothing was impossible.

Ko Hoi Ning wore a low cut dress, but she said that her figure was not buxom enough. She pointed out that her aunt was the biggest and joked that her chest was like two pomelos. She often stole attention for being sexy, would other female artists be afraid of being at the same events as her? She said that her relationships with female artists were great. Male artists instead did not dare to get near her.

Samantha Ko Hoi Ning yesterday due to work missed the FORTUNE BUDDIES (GAING CHAU FUK LUK SAU) promotional bus tour, but two nights ago she went to three cinemas with Yuen Siu Cheung for audience appreciation. They gave away posters and posed for photos with viewers. Ko Hoi Ning revealed that she was ill two nights ago. Perhaps due to the frequent events with the strong air conditioning inside and the extreme heat outside, she caught the flu. Luckily after medication she was fine. Always sexy at events, two nights ago she wore the event tee shirt conservatively. Did it take some getting used to? She said, "No, today I am showing my legs! This time is thanking viewers for their support, dressing more conservatively would be better. Even with larger gestures I wouldn't have to be afraid of wardrobe malfunction. (Would you worry about someone taking advantage?) No, instead I worry more about larger gestures leading to wardrobe malfunction."

She said that no one was "acting up" due to her absence to the event yesterday. She will attend more promotions to come later. She also said that on the premiere night she saw her kiss scene with Johnson Lee Si Jit, because she could not accept it she giggled and curled up into a ball. She said, "This was my first kiss scene, but during the shoot it didn't feel embarrassing. Instead watching it later I couldn't accept it. Maybe the silver screen enlarged the shot, which made me a little embarrassed."

The film FORTUNE BUDDIES (GAING CHAU FUK LUK SAU) yesterday promoted in Mongkok. Attendees included Wong Cho Nam, Yuen Siu Cheung, Johnson Lee Si Jit, Maggie Cheung Ho Yi, Macy Chan Mei Si and Jess Sum Cheuk Ying. While playing games with the audience, Cheung Ho Yi almost had an wardrobe malfunction.

Cho Nam, Cheung Jai and Si Jit said that this film had great response in Malaysia and Singapore. They had a lot of confidence in the entire Southeast Asian market. The company will make a profit. Cheung Jai even said, "Over 100 million is impossible, but it should pass 30 million!"

In the film Cho Nam, Cheung Jai and Si Jit had kiss scenes with female characters. Cho Nam kissed Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, Si Jit kissed Samantha Ko Hoi Ning, and Cheung Jai was paired with Lo Mik Shuet. Si Jit joked that Cheung Jai and Lo Mik Shuet was incest. Cho Nam pointed out that if the film performed well at the box office, asking him to dress up as anything would not be particularly special. Perhaps he would kiss Lo Mik Shuet. Cheung Jai joked, "Then I switch to kiss Ko Hoi Ning! Ko Hoi Ning is the 'Golden Goddess' after all."

Cheung Ho Yi in the film took a slap to the face from Pauline Wong Siu Fung. She said that Sister Siu Fung was a direct woman. During that scene, she told her not to hold back.

In the film FORTUNE BUDDIES (GAING CHAU FUK LUK SAU), Yuen Siu Cheung, Wong Cho Nam and Johnson Lee Si Jit in the film not only disguised themselves as women but also fought in the ring to accept U.S. wrestling elite's overseas challenge.

While they took a beating they also "benefited", as Fiona Sit Hoi Kei played Cho Nam's girlfriend, Cheung Jai fainted and received CPR from Lo Mik Shuet.

The Gods even received the support of the Samantha Ko Hoi Ning played sexy Bauhinia Woman> When Si Jit lost consciousness, the embrace of Bauhinia Woman made him the envy of many.

Eric Tseng, Wong Cho Lam, Samantha Ko, etc. were filming an episode for "Super Trio Game Master." Sexy goddess Samantha and Wong Cho Lam were everyone's target. Samantha was nicknamed "Ko Hong Ning" (tall chest ning), and Eric purposely arranged Cho Lam and Samantha to play the sitting balloon game, joked that Cho Lam will have a chance to sit on Samantha.

Samantha already expressed she's going to play as hardcore as she can and covered her skin under sports clothing. But she accidentally exposed the edge of her butt when playing the game of exposing balloons with chest, she said: "Won't play that wildly next time." Felt others took advantage of her? she said: "Like what? you meaning touching his lips? Cho Lam's lips are soft, gave him my on-screen kiss, but his girlfriend wouldn't want it." Not afraid exploding balloons with her chest? "I was afraid it might heart, but I felt a little relieved after putting some pads underneath. Thank god they're real breasts, otherwise they would really explode. I don't think the gestures are indecent, it's okay."

Some media took pictures of Cho Lam's girlfriend, Cho Lam replied: "They're fake, they were taken several months ago. That was my previous female assistant. I'm dating someone now, but it's not the one in the pictures. I'll let everyone know at the right time." Afraid others see her true face? "We're prepared. We've been seeing each other for more than half year. It's more important to tell others that I'm not available, because she came from a traditional Christian family, I have to reassure her and her family."

Samantha Ko, Maggie Lee and Jeanette Leung show off their busty figures in the movie "Beauty on Duty". Samantha made appearances in a sexy dressing gown and swim wear. In the movie Charlene Choi is also the one that touches Samantha's chest. The most hilarious part is when Charlene is faced by the 3 busty girls and isn't sure whether to wear her bikini or not.

Why did Charlene touch Samantha's chest area? The storyline consists of Charlene and Sandra Ng fighting the killer played by Samantha. They fight from the hotel into the toliets. In order to find out if Samantha is dead Charlene ens up using her fingers to touch Samantha's chest. But suddenly this alerts the alarms. Charlene was asked by the reporter what she felt when she touched Samatha's chest area? She replied "I was afraid to use pressure and hurt her. Samantha is very professional, she had to resist from laughing while playing dead. But as soon as the director yelled cut, the whole team bursted out laughing".

Samantha didn't mind the storyline involving the alarm effect. She said "This is a comedy and most important is that it gives off a good comedy effect. When I watched the premiere many of the audience found that part very funny".

Samantha Ko, wearing a recycled dress, attended a function with Carrie Lam yesterday. Usually she dresses very sexy, but yesterday, her chest was all covered up. She told reporter "It is better safe than sorry. The dress was a bit big, it has been altered already. (Have you lost weight?) About 10 pounds. I have been slimming for a few months. I need to keep fit in order to get job offers to do movie, TV and commercials." The reporter pointed out that a magazine reported she was seen delivering food to a hotel. Samantha replied "That was the plot in a movie. I didn't know they would make such report. They have twisted the fact." Samantha went on to say some reporters even went to her mother's stall to ask about that. She continued "I hope they leave my mother alone, she would get scared. (If you earn so much, she doesn't have to run the stall). My mother doesn't think there is any difference whether I am earning a lot or not. She is working for a living and so am I. I just want to earn a lot more so that I don't have to work."
