Rumored couple Kenneth and Nancy became the focus point, when reporters asked for pictures, the two appeared awkward and turned down the request. In the end, they had to bother Selena and other artists to help them as they came forward to take a group photo. Kenneth and Nancy later denied that they were embarrassed.

Kenneth expressed: "I know Nancy came too, not embarrassed. It's Selena who is the main lead here, don't want to steal her limelight. If I wanted to avoid, then I wouldn't have came! I just feel that there's no need to take a picture with her deliberately." Nancy expressed that everyone happily attended to support the main lead (Selena).

Selena felt emotional that all her good friends came to support her. Asked if she invited ex-boyfriend Patrick Tang? She said: "Yes, but he had to promote for his new music album and couldn't make it. So it's quite a pity because today it's considered an important day to me, I hope his album sells well. (Did you call him to ask him for business advice?) Yes, two days ago because I was feeling too much pressure from this opening ceremony that I started crying. I called him and he comforted me." Rising as a boss, Selena will not reduce her on-screen appearances.

Also, Linda Chung's contract with her record company is soon to end, she expressed that she's currently discussing a new contract, she believes that there is a high possibility for a contract renewal.

Since the news came out that Hacken Lee’s contracts with TVB and Universal Music expired at the end of March, he has been a ‘hot commodity’ among the record companies. Earlier, there were rumors that EEG purposefully sent Hacken’s good friend Joey Yung to try and persuade him to join their company; plus add to that Universal’s dispute with TVB over royalties, which had placed Hacken – known as ‘TVB’s god-son’ – in a difficult position. Nevertheless, despite the struggles, Hacken has decided that due to his deep-rooted relationship with Universal, he will renew his contract with the record company.

According to reports, even though Hacken’s contract with Universal expired in March, he still ‘owed’ the company several albums. With both parties agreeing on a ‘happy rate’, the album contract was extended as well. Universal’s Vice-Chairman Huang Jian Tao confirmed yesterday: “Yes, Hacken has indeed renewed his contract. The company was able to use its sincerity to convince Hacken to stay.” Hacken’s management company E.N.G. expressed that they are satisfied with the terms of the contract, saying: “Hacken’s collaboration with Universal has always been pleasant.”

Due to the birth of his second son, Hacken has been at home keeping his wife and sons accompany. Tomorrow, he will officially resume working and start recording for his new album. With Universal’s other front-line artists such as Jacky Cheung, Kelly Chen, and Kay Tse already making appearances on ATV and i-Cable, will Hacken be doing the same? His management company expressed: “Currently, there have not been any discussions about promotional opportunities yet. The priority is to first record the album, then later see which shows fit with promotional efforts.”

Known for being ‘crazy’ about soccer, Hacken was rumored to have signed a multi-million dollar contract with i-Cable to host the World Cup, however it is reported that for this year’s WC, i-Cable will not be hiring an ‘outsider’ for the job. In a surprising turn of events, Hacken has been reportedly hired by TVB to host their World Cup programming, despite his recent contract renewal with Universal. Asked if Hacken was granted ‘amnesty’ due to his good relationship with TVB, the station’s Manager of Production (variety shows and special events) Ho Lai Chun responded: “The host for the World Cup programming has not been confirmed yet; we are in contact with several people at the moment and Hacken is one of them.” As a huge fan of the Manchester United soccer team, Hacken will be attending the ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow for the specially-themed MU restaurant opening in Hong Kong.

In addition, with i-Cable being granted the exclusive broadcasting rights for the entire World Cup competition, there have been reports that the company has also bought out the rights to report on the World Cup in their news programs, which means that TVB and ATV would not be able to air i-Cable’s World Cup footage in their news programs -- they would only be able to air footage of the few games they are jointly broadcasting. This has sparked renewed talks between the paid TV provider and the 2 stations to hopefully come to an agreement that would work for all parties.

Another "Stephen Chan Gang" (Chi Wan Bong) member is fired. Producer Poon Yu Kai was fired earlier with the reason of "no other jobs," yesterday TVB fired producer of "On The Road" (向世界出發)Tang Yun Mei. TVB publicist Tseng Sing Ming said the decision was made to reorganize non-drama department and fit the needs of future production; he won't rule out the chance of working together again. But he stressed this has nothing to do with Stephen Chan. Tang confirmed the incident yesterday: "TVB gave me two choices, one: I would leave on my own, the other one: fire me. I told them to fire me, because I didn't do anything wrong! (Got fired because you're part of the 'gang'?) I don't even know whether I'm part of the gang or not, I just feel that even a colleague with good ratings, many awards, and good reviews is being fired, don't know what is their standard. TVB has a greater loss than I do."

Elaine Yiu and Sire Ma never worked together, but they're both good friends with Suki Tsui and are Suki's bridesmaids last year. Elaine said she really wants to get married. She said: "Many friends are married or planning to get married. I also hope my Mr. Right will appear soon. Too bad it's hard to find a boyfriend as an artiste. Good men in the showbiz are already married."

Sire said she hasn't meet the right person and would focus on her career right now, and imagine dating actors she work with in series like Ron Ng and Raymond Lam, etc. She said: "Suki is a girl who is daring to love, but I have to think carefully before doing everything, guess I will plan to get married at least after I'm 30." Summer is comming and many female artistes will show off their good bodies in swim wear shows to earn money. Elaine said she doesn't mind and she wants to walk lingerie shows the most. She explained: "I want to walk lingerie shows more than swimwear ones, I think lingerie can show off one's body curves more, also you can be like Jessica C, your bust size will gain a cup, but first I have to try hard to gain weight, it would look better if I'm chubbier."

Always have a lean body, Sire also gained weight successfully and she's ecstatic: "Because I worked with Bobby Au-Yeung in '(不速之約),' we've been eating a lot everyday these two months. We even ate the food (props) on the set!" Sire said now she gained weight, Bobby said they look like siblings. She said: "I play Bobby's younger sister in the series. He always say, Ah Mui, you got chubbier lately. You're going to film ancient series soon, I'm worry the fat would appear on your face, it's time to start to control the amount you're eating.

Kiki originally wanted to get married on October 10, symbolizes "perfect 10", but that date is fully booked, that is why she has chosen October 3 instead. She told reporter "I am not disappointed, I have a few friends who are getting married on October 3 as well."

The reporter asked if Kiki is starting to go on a slimming diet? She replied "Not yet, I will start at the beginning of May. I am worried if I start too early, I will put my weight back on in October." Kiki will look for her wedding gown abroad and as for her other evening dresses, she will look for the more sophisticated style.

Jessica Hsuan admits that she is not ready to get married yet. Asked if her boyfriend has proposed to her yet, she replied: “Not yet, but we have sat down and seriously talked about it, since we view each other as ‘marriage potential’. The result is that we decided this year both of us are too busy, so maybe later on we’ll look at it again.” Laughing, Jessica also indicated that her parents have ‘given up’ years ago, so they no longer nag her to get married anymore. Asked if she would have a baby first, she said: “No, because I’m a very traditional person.” She says that with the technology nowadays, she is not afraid of being pregnant at an older age.

As for Eric Suen openly admitting Macy Chan as his girlfriend, she smiled and said she has been very nervous because this is the first time that her relationship was made public. Macy said: “I never purposefully tried to hide it, just trying to let things run its course.” (Do you view each other as ‘marriage potential’?) “Of course, or else we wouldn’t be dating.” Asked if she will stick to the Christian belief of not having sex before marriage, she replied: “No one is perfect, but we will try our best. When we go out, we usually have a lot of stuff to do anyway, so it keeps us occupied.”

Though she is not in a relationship right now, Joyce Tang is not discouraged: “Rare things are the most valued; perhaps I will find someone down the road.” Joyce says that she is happy to see Kiki getting married, however there is no need for anyone to introduce a boyfriend for herself. She says: “I’ve actually been quite busy lately and there have been a few potential ‘suitors’ who have been interested in going out with me, so there’s no need to rush into things.”

Moses Chan attended "Philips Ledino lightings" promotion press conference yesterday. He was demonstrating the home lighting range. He revealed that he always does all the maintenance of his home equipments, from fitting a screw to installation of any electrical appliances. He said he is an expert in DIY, saying "I don't hire anybody to help me when I move house. When my TV broke down, I took it to the repair shop in my car."

When the wind blew from the balcony, my lace curtain would move and the music would start." Reporter asked if any girl has made any comments about his romantic decoration?

Once known as the "Rumor King", in the recent year Joe Ma has gotten rid of that title, drawing a line with rumors. He is now seen as a good man taking care of his family. With him is the tall Sharon Chan who claims herself as the "Rumor Insulator", therefore even after so many collaborations between the two, there's still no love sparks, it's just "brotherhood".

Sharon defended the "cool" looking Joe Ma, she said: "Actually he's really cute, very funny and is the "lead entertainer" among the group of friends. He can instantly turn dead water into something lively."

Joe and Sharon have collaborated in a number of series including - [Catch Me Now], [Summer Heat], [Suspects in Love] and both participated in [Strictly Come Dancing]. Because of this they became good friends. The two "tall people" are rarely paired up in the industry, but it was not until [Suspects in Love] that they were arranged to play as a couple. The two gets into a love triangle with Flora Chan.

Brother-Sister absolutely nothing will happen
Often involved with rumors in the past, Sharon was never one of Joe's rumored girlfriends, Sharon joked: "I like girls! Actually I have always been a rumor insulator, you can check my history. Usually when I date, I would admit it, why don't I have rumors? Is it because I'm not good looking? Maybe my personality is too much like a guy! Sometimes when the paparazzi photograph me, I'm often out with a guy and still there's no stories about that guy being my boyfriend, looks like people aren't interested in me. Joe and I are also 'big brother - little sister', absolutely nothing will happen."

There was a period of time where Joe was surrounded by rumors, mostly revolving around Charmaine Sheh and Sonjia Kwok. It was only in the recent year where he kept it low, often photographed with his wife and children, looks like he successfully drew a line with rumors. Towards the old "playboy" image, Joe felt helpless: "I don' know either. Sometimes for series promotion, rumors are inevitable. Maybe because in the past my female co-stars had more rumors, but now my recent co-star Flora Chan is already married, rumors naturally go away. In the past, I would always do the initiating with other people, asking them if they need help or anything, but now I'm trying my best to reduce those actions and maintain the distance." Sharon heard this and complained: "He's always shouting at me! I"m a little upset!"

A good man keeps distance from females
Joe joked that back then even when he crosses the road and there's a girl besides him, he'll be dead. It was really frightening, that time he didn't dare to do interviews either, fearing that the media would write about it: "What I say is different from what is reported. The writer would just write about their personal impression on me. I felt that was really unfair, I rather not do the interviews then. Fortunately that time is the past now, my wife trusts me."

Lead Entertainer Joe Ma
Sharon defended Joe, she said: "He's a person who really loves his family. His family-oriented personality is quite similar to his role as Ng Chung Ming in [Suspects in Love]. He looks after his family, he can cook, he's a good husband and lover. Don't look at his appearance being so cool and think he's mean. The other side of him is really playful, he can eat and drink well, he's a funny person. If he works in PR, he would definitely get popular, he's the lead entertainer. I clearly remember one time when I was at a friend gathering, the group of friends weren't too familiar with one another, the atmosphere was like dead water, no one said a word. I got tired and was about to leave when Joe came into the picture, he came running and jumping around. After a short period, the dead atmosphere turned into an atmosphere as lively as an anniversary show. I thought everyone ate something wrong, when they all got up and started dancing, Joe has the ability to bring back life from the dead. No matter if it's work or leisure, he is totally into it, just like TVB's slogan. Actually Joe is pretty silly, it's just that everyone misunderstood him. Of course he also does have his 'hot' side too, otherwise people would say he's good to bully." Joe laughed: "Must make it relaxing and comfortable outside of work!"

Sharon a better wife than girlfriend
As if he's a good husband, Joe said: "It's hard for me to judge, but to be a 100% good husband and father is something really difficult. I also have my romantic side, sometimes giving surprises to my wife. As a father, you have to put in a lot of effort and time to develop the good relationship. My son is 11 years old, I'm very democratic, won't be too controlling."

Although Sharon isn't married yet, but she believes that she'll be a better wife than a girlfriend. "I like to do chores, housekeeping, I'm loyal and sympathetic. This type of wife is awesome! Can go into the kitchen and out into the hall. Being a girlfriend, have to keep boyfriend happy and be romantic. I'm not too good with those things."

When Stephy Tang's first dessert book "Sweet heart dessert private collection" was launched last year, she had overwhelming response.

Vivien Yeo's ex-boyfriend Eric Suen recently admitted that he and Macy Chan are dating, Vivien expressed: "I am really happy for them, finding true love. Macy and I are friends, she's a good girl." Vivien exposed her relationship a year ago, she said: "A year ago I dated a Malaysian guy, at the time I was already rumored with Eric, my boyfriend was unhappy and asked me if it's true, so it was hard to continue the relationship. Now we both have pursuers, but I hope to get a deeper understand first. Until I find Mr. Right, I won't announce my relationship."

Kevin Cheng attended to a tennis event yesterday. As for the rumor that he forced producer Lee Tim Sing to film sequel for "A Fistful of Stance," Kevin felt the rumor is too ridiculous: "Actually besides me, other actors also said they want to film a sequel for it. But this is a decision that has to be considered by everyone. I can't decide on my own. They said I want to win TV King? Right now Tim Gor is filming anniversary series 'Rosy Business 2,' Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang are top priorities." Kevin also expressed he gets along well with actors and the crew from "AOF". It's a pity that the series only has 25 episodes. If it was to have 30 - 40 episodes, it might turn out even better.

Yesterday Ella Koon attended a event for a healthy foods brand and to accommodate the brand's theme, she especially wore a fresh yellow colored BCBG brand spring dress to the event. However, the material of the dress was rather thin, so her T-back underwear was visible. Then Ella appeared in a yellow tank top exposing her tight fit bra and followed the yoga instructor to do the simple yoga moves. Ella easily passed the test.

It was said that because Ella was so yellow, she looked like a banana, she laughed along and admitted too: "I am a banana person, yellow skin white heart. People always teased me when I was young, but I'm a traditional Chinese person." Asked if she wanted to accommodate the theme and even wore a yellow bra, she haha-ed again and said: "Yes, its a vest. (Have you done all precautions in case of exposure?) I have two layers under." Asked again if she's wearing a T-back, she said in embarrassment: "Don't ask me!"

30 year old Ella has no eating or sleeping schedule since she's been in the industry, so she's been worrying premature aging: "Later I'm going in for osteoporosis testing, hopefully I'll pass the test!" She also said that to maintain her health, she's starting to eat more nutritious foods and exercising.

Yesterday Ron Ng was filming for new series . Ron held onto a boutique of fresh flowers and a diamond ring to propose to Kate Tsui. Ron said that he doesn't know how to be romantic in realiy, while Kate doesn't like her other half being a romantic playboy. She felt that men who are attentive is more stabled.

It was a hot day during filming, Ron had on a thick jacket and the staff constantly helped him wipe off his sweat. Before filming, he kept a cooler in his pocket, but after an hour of filming he was completely wet. Unfortunate for Kate who had to hug the sweaty Ron while pretending to be sweet.

The scene was about Ron using a batch of red roses and a diamond ring to propose to Kate kneeling on Stanley road. Kate laughed and said that Ron proposed to her several times in the series and had many kiss on the forehead scenes. Save the intense kiss scenes for the youngsters Toby Leung and Him Law. The kiss on the forehead was added on short notice.

Claiming as a workaholic, Kate was asked if she wants her other half to be romantic? She said that romantic is not reality, it's just what you would see in dramas. Also, romantic is almost like a playboy. Often business handsome gentlemen do not have such a big batch of flowers, she rather choose a person who is more attentive, where he can take care of her. Asked if her past boyfriends are the attentive type or the romantic type? She said: "Neither. So far there's only proposing on the streets in series, hasn't happened in reality. It is currently the time where I'm working hard on my career. Won't talk about marriage or discuss about it yet. I feel that flowers is not the most important in proposals, the most important is the heart, the diamond ring and kneel down to express his commitment. In the future, when I get older and talk about it, it'll be good memories. Dream on!" Ron frankly said that he does not know how to be romantic, except in series, his romantic level is really low. He said that in the 30 years of his life, he has never used flowers to propose. Ron smiled and said since he's doing so many romantic things in filming, he'll steal some of the ideas in the future. He felt that men getting married at 40 years old is not too late. But he has no partner, so he won't waste time thinking too much.

Also her love triangle in the series will be the main selling point. Moses said "In the series, Ada who is a office worker falls in love with me, but I fall for her other identity Superwoman. Since (Where the Legend Begins), I haven't had many scenes with Ada in other TVB series. It was very fun to work with her again".
