Kary invited her former senior sister of the same company Miriam Yeung to duet two songs with her. Miriam excitedly said: "Kary's concert will be very moving for me. We were once a family. Singers are about the art of vocals, but what's most important it enters into people's hearts. Kary is someone who I recently felt worked very hard, she managed to get songs that entered people's hearts." Kary replied emotionally: "Miriam is very close, she's very supportive of me. She told me that I have to perform my songs well, but the upcoming path is the most important, thank you Miriam for your advice."

Near the end of the concert, Kary recalls how she was looked down on back when she debuted. There were also times she heard nasty gossips, she is grateful of her family for being so supportive: "My father said the more you get looked down on by people, the more hard working you must be! Everyone please give a round applause to my family. If I didn't have them, I wouldn't know how to go on. I don't want to fight for family property, I want to fight for hard work!"

Besides Kary's parents, there was ex-boyfriend Brian Hung, ex-rumored boyfriend Kelvin Poon, ex-Cookies members Stephy Tang, Theresa Fu, Angela, and Miki Yeung, Hilary Tsui, her Boss (Pong Hung Yan), Edmond Leung and his wife Karen, Bernice Liu, Joyce Cheng, Wilfred Lau and Pakho Chau.

Kary: No one knows what will happen in the future
At the celebration, Kary expressed that being suspended for half a day, her whole body is all sore, including her thighs and the insides. Asked if she and ex-boyfriend Brian will reconcile? She said: "We are friends. Friends can come support me, I'm not lying. Although in this current situation, he still came to support me, very touching! After the show, he came backstage to cheer for me!" Kary was asked if it's because she wants to reconcile with him that she publicly expressed her feelings (through the song Perfect Match)? Kary said: "It's hard to say what our relationship is all of a sudden. Our current relationship was hard to come, no one knows the future. Completed the show, I am a big girl, and have matured on how to handle my career and relationship!"

Steven calmly said: "They said I'm Mr. Chan's love opponent? That is truly funny! Sonjia and I had rumors in 2001, the issue was 10 years ago, we are now good friends. She also told me to apologize on her behalf that she wasn't able to make it today because she's working in Mainland. (Worried about future job opportunities?) Don't be silly! Shouldn't take rumors too seriously, just for laughs. I will do my part as an artist. Work is work, personal matters is personal. Sonjia had once said that some reporters are blowing things out of proportion, not necessary to care so much!"

Of course I bought insurance, but not anything special that increases the coverage."

Pierre is just a guest star in the series. Asked if he's worried that Pierre might hurt him during the fighting scene? Joe joked: "Can Pierre beat me first? I am not afraid of him, later there will be an martial arts instructor directing us. Also, because the weather is cold, I already pulled a leg muscle earlier. Also, I am currently shooting another series, so before shooting I will do all the necessary warm-ups and wear protective pads. We will be careful during the fighting scene."

During the time, she discovered that there was a young woman wwho was about to commit suicide by jumping off the hotel building. Cecilia quickly launched her rescue operation, and eventually saved the girl!

At the time, the young woman was dangerously sitting on the edge of the roof and was emotionally unstabled. She was screaming and shouting, Cecilia saw this and shouted loudly for her to stop. Because she wasn't sure of the girl's exact position, she called her assistant to get the driver and go over to the building across to rescue the girl. The driver then sped off to the building where the girl was about to jump and told the building security to call the police and go up and save the girl. Eventually the public security officers were able to rush over and pull the girl back to a safe place. Later, Cecilia praised the Mainland public security, that they worked quickly.

In fact, Cecilia has a very warm heart, besides rescuing the suicidal girl, she also visited a 15 year old girl (Dora) several times in Taiwan. Dora suffered from cancer and unfortunately passed away earlier this month. Because Cecilia knows that Dora loved dogs when she was living, so she especially bought a toy dog and took a picture. On the picture, she wrote: "Beautiful Dora, the doggie will accompany you on your journey." The photo and the message was a gift to Dora at her memorial service.

Cecilia emotionally said: "Life is precious, hope to treasure life! There are some people who don't even have the opportunity to survive, to have the ability to survive, then should live life happily. Don't give up!"

TVB new series Special Duties Unit starts shooting off magnificently. Joe Ma and Christine Kuo were in Kowloon City shooting last night. The scene was about Christine, who plays Joe's fiancee, feeling frustrated. She gets drunk and loses control of herself, then she starts crying by the phone booth. Perhaps, she was too into character but after shooting, Christine carelessly bumped her head on the phone booth and let out real tears! She said this is her first crying and drunk scene. She is especially grateful of her co-star Joe Ma for bringing her into character, but she couldn't believe that saliva and tears became her first collaboration 'gift'. To shoot the crying scene, Christine took off her contact lens and used half a bottle of eye drops for a whole hour. No wonder her eyesight was fuzzy after shooting.

It was said that his 40-inch chest lost to Oscar Li, Him said: "Everyone has a different body figure, I am already pleased with mines.

Tavia Yeung sucking money in Mainland, wants to be the Evilest of China
Tavia Yeung is currently in Hengdian shooting a Mainland series, but still cares about her new series The Rippling Blossom. As the series is scheduled to broadcast during the Lunar New Year period, Tavia frankly said: "The TV ratings will definitely be affected a little, but I am not too worried. I am personally very optimistic, what's most important is that I have a series broadcasting!" After The Mysteries of Love, she currently has 3 series that has not released yet, so she can comfortably allow TVB to schedule her to shoot in Mainland and earn some extra income: "This time, I'm collaborating with Patrick Tam in a costume drama, a villain lead actress. This is my first Mainland series. Chinese Yuan, I'm coming!"

Praises Ron Ng
In the series, Tavia plays a role similar to her villain role Yiu Kam Ling in Beyond the Realm of Conscience and is also about evil concubines battling in the palace. Tavia said: "See if I can go to the limit this time, last time in Hong Kong I already got so evil, I may not necessarily be able to do it again, haha.... I want to be the evilest one in all of China! (Not afraid stereotypes?) Before Ron Ng's evil role in Pretty Maid was a breakthrough, he rarely does evil roles. At first I felt scared for him, but later I realized that Mainland's audience are very rational."

Sold herself to TVB
Tavia frankly said during Beyond it wasn't a deliberate transformation, this time in the Mainland series it is a good attempt because she knows she's not the 'girl next door' anymore, she doesn't want to be the plain characters anymore. Asked if she's taking advantage of this opportunity for a stepping stone, is she going to be Charmaine Sheh focusing or evening leaving TVB for outside work? Tavia smiled: "TVB sent me out to shoot this series, regardless of fame and fortune, it is good for TVB and I. I'm signing with TVB for life!"

TVB new sitcom Whose Kitchen Stove Is Smoke-Free starring Kristal Tin and Stephen Au held it's costume fitting yesterday. Producer Tsui Yu On was asked if it's because Show Me The Happy(SMTH) ratings aren't doing well that you have to come to the rescue? He said: "No, already prepared to shoot this sitcom before. (Worried the ratings might affect the sitcom?) SMTH isn't bad, got 26-27 points in ratings. (It seems to be weak in class?) Society will respond to different things and will add new artists. (Will you ask Bernice Liu?) If the role matches, we will try."

In the new sitcom, Kristal plays a 'Cooking God', she laughed and said that initially the script was about Beautiful Kitchen, but then cut out the 'Beauty' when casting. She laughed: "In fact, I am a Beautiful Woman Cooking God. The upcoming new year reunion dinner, I will be making Chinese stew. (Your the shoulder of the sitcom?) Don't say it like that, we are all the shoulders (responsibility)."

Yesterday Moses Chan, Adam Cheng and Aimee Chan were shooting outdoor scenes in Tsim Sha Shui for TVB new series The War At Heart. When speaking of the TVB's new boss (Chan Kwok Keung), Moses said: "Just do own part, do the best of myself and do well on the acting." Of course not worried that the new boss is heavy on women and light on men, Moses continued: "At first someone said that TVB is changing bosses, I didn't believe it because I didn't read the newspapers. (Don't know Mr. Chan?) I don't know him, just heard of his name. I personally carry a positive attitude, that everything will be even better. (Will you ask for a raise?) So far so good, I am happy and pleased."

Also at the scene, Adam Cheng said: "Facing ups and downs, running here and there, I will still come back and shoot series. I hope the employee life would be even better, prices run high, TVB earns more, then staff morale will get better."

TVB changes their boss, 'Shell King' Cheung Kwok Keung becomes the new boss and is certain that TVB will become the TV Station of the Year within the TV Scene in 2011. In the past, Mr. Chan's name often came up in finance and economics and is also a character in the entertainment news. Mr. Chan and his wife have active connections in the industry, often attending public events together. However, Mr. Chan also has several rumors, some of which are TVB Fadans, including Michelle Yip, Sonjia Kwok, Kate Tsui and more. Even famous model Kathy Chow was his rumored girlfriend.

Mr. Chan is a rumor expert. In 2005, he and Michelle Yip were dancing intimately in Beijing at a nightclub, extremely provocative. At the time, his rumors were everywhere. Michelle received luxury property and cars from him. During interviews, Mr. Chan responded to the rumors and said that because he was drunk, he did the intimate dancing. At the time, he was dancing drunk, so didn't even know who his dance partner was and had a fuzzy image. He and Michelle only had that one encounter, and he later publicly apologized to his wife.

In 2006, Mr. Chan invested in the film Wo Hu in which Sonjia Kwok stars as the lead actress. Rumors spread again with him and Sonjia. At the time, Sonjia was given a bodyguard to escort her to and from work, the rumors became really hot. Mr. Chan later clarified the rumors again, he first terminated his relationship with Michelle Yip and then stressed that he did not give her any car or property, nor do they keep in touch. As for Sonjia, they only met once and apologizes for getting her involved in rumors.

Last year, Kate Tsui was stationed in Shawan, Sichuan and was rumored to have connections with Mr. Chan. This time Mr. Chan did not clarify the rumors himself, but his good friend Albert Yeung clarified on his behalf. After several rounds of rumors, it finally came to an end.

Yesterday, Kate Tsui responded that she will not respond to old rumors again. She had already clarified before. As to TVB's new boss, she hopes that the company will get better and better, as an artist it is best to do own part, make good series for viewers to watch.

In regards to Mr. Chan becoming TVB's new boss, Sonjia Kwok said regardless who the boss is, the most important is a raise. She is also worried that the old rumors may affect her, and it wouldn't be good if she gets frozen.

Mr. Chan's extremely good friend Nat Chan said that he is also a reader, he read in the newspapers that Mr. Chan bought TVB and before the fact he did not ask about it. Nat was asked if he will send a message to his good friend to ask him how he will help TVB earn more money? He laughed: "I am already half-retired, unless he invites me back, otherwise I have more interest in watching horses!"

In regards to Mr. Chan's long list of rumored girlfriends, Aimee Chan joked: "That's all of TVB's female artists! He has good taste!" She praised that the new boss has TVB artists as his rumored girlfriends, he has taste. Asked if she is worried that she'll start rumors with him too? She said: "I am not worried, I have always focused on my jobs. If I do have an opportunity to meet the new boss, I will say that I hope to have more opportunities."

 
Joyce Cheng grew up with TVB, but towards the acquisition, she is not sure of the details, but looks forward to the new appearance the new boss has for TVB.

Timmy Hung admits that he knows Mr. Chan, but does not really keep in touch with him. He said that every artist should just focus on their work, he personally will not have too high hopes. It's hard to believe that he just wants to promote him, Timmy hopes everyone will have more opportunities.

When TVB Dongka Fadan Charmaine Sheh came back to Hong Kong from Mainland, she accidentally injured her arm and has to take a 3 month long break. She even had to withdraw from Forensic Heroes III, while Maggie Cheung replaced her. At the same time, TVB also announced that there is a change in bosses, such a coincidence. Yesterday, [Oriental Daily] spotted the injured Charmaine Sheh with a cast on her left arm in North Point accompanied by her manager getting into a taxi to go see the doctor for a follow-up on her injury.

Until 5pm, Charmaine finished with the doctor and came out with a pretty good mood. When she was walking down the stairs, she appeared very cautious, holding tightly with her right hand on the rail. When reporters approached her, Charmaine was a little resistant, keeping her head down and continued walking forward. When asked if her injury is improving? She generously replied: "The doctor said it's going well." When speaking of TVB's change in bosses, she said: "As an artist, it is most important to just focus on our own part. For other things, don't need to worry about, also I am currently injured and on break. At this moment, all I want is to get better soon, it's really inconvenient with an injured arm." When asked what big plans she has for the Lunar New Year? She expressed that resting is the priority.

The highly popular Raymond Lam and in sweet fate Leanne Li attended an electronic store opening event. During the time Leanne did not forget to show off her happiness, expressing that she and boyfriend Wong Cho Lam are "spending Valentine's Day daily" and are starting to find Valentine's Day gifts for each other. Raymond who was also at the event expressed that he really envies them: "So dry, I want to date too! But, I am very close with my family, so if I'm dating my girlfriend must pass my family first, must get along with my family well. Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day are very close, having a girlfriend to go send greetings to each other, it really feels warm!"

Raymond frankly said it's necessary to have the love moisture, but won't rely on peach blossom luck. He said: "I'm from Xiamen, we don't celebrate with peach blossoms during Lunar New Year. We usually buy tangerines. (Peach blossom luck?) Let nature take its course, I have always had good relations with people. (But Jim Chim recently criticized you?) It's not a big deal."

Leanne frankly said that after she announced her relationship, this Valentine's Day, they can finally date in the light. Thinking back in the past when the couple had to hide the love, she said: "Still happy, but this year it's a different feeling." She also expressed that both of their mothers met at a church, for New Years she will be going to Wong Cho Lam's house to send greetings. As for if the two families are taking advantage of this time to meet, she said: "Worry about it when the time comes!" Raymond also exposed that he did a wedding endorsement with Leanne before, he wishes Leanne and Cho Lam can take real wedding photos together. Leanne laughed: "Thanks, Cho Lam never talks about these things, he likes to give me surprises. (Will he propose to you on Valentine's Day?) Wah! Wah! Wah! I am not prepared, you all are giving me pressure!"

Yesterday Joe Ma, Jessica Hsuan, Him Law and JJ Jia attended the blessing ceremony of TVB new series Special Duties Unit. In the last half year, Joe has been in Mainland shooting series and had not had time to keep fit, but seeing that all the other male artists have such good body figures, he feels pressured. Joe said: "Before I was sick and was hospitalized, so I definitely wasn't able to train because my tonsils were infected, then it developed into myocarditis. The doctor said I temporarily cannot work too hard and I had to ask the filming crew if we could shoot the light scenes first." Joe smiled and said he won't train to get too big, just enough to show off his nice figure to Him and everyone else. As to if he's afraid his role would be compared to Michael Wong? He said: "No fear, Michael Wong has already fallen deep into audience hearts. The advantage I have is my experiences in G4, we are both different."

Him will be revealing his behind in the series and is much anticipated by the entire filming crew. He laughed and said that when he puts on the black uniform pants, everyone naturally sets their focus on his backside, perhaps it's too defined and protrudes out, Him said: "Still no fear, in fact it's not that exaggerated, there aren't any holes, just can see a bit, like a half circle figure." It was rumored that Theresa Fu got frozen by her company, he felt that it's impossible and that it's just made up news, no need to care about it.
