TVB Entertainment News

The highly anticipated series, “Forensic Heroes IV” (法證先鋒IV) had a press conference yesterday to promote the reshooting process due to the “OnSum Cheating” scandal. While Jacqueline Wong’s scenes are being shot with her replacement, Roxanne Tong (湯洛雯), producer, Miu Siu Ching (梅小青), expressed, “We immediately edited the script because different actors will have different portrayals. Also, there might be some scenes we can’t capture anymore. There are some scenes where we can do better as well.”

The series was originally promoted as one of this year’s TVB anniversary series, but has been postponed because of the reshoots. Miu Siu Ching shared, “We were originally classified as an anniversary series, but we need to have it approved by the Chinese film administration. We are filming in June/July and need to allow time for editing, so on principle, the series won’t be airing this year. Mr. To hopes the series will air early next year.”

Roxanne Tong also shared with the press that she had already alerted Jacqueline Wong beforehand. She said, “I sent her a text previously so she has a heads up. I don’t want to comment too much about this. She needs some privacy too, so I don’t have much to comment on this.”

Raymond Wong Clears the Air
Raymond Wong also cleared the air about the earlier rumors about him cursing and getting mad after finding out about the reshoots. He explained, “This time is the real response. I didn’t purposely respond previously because the involved parties were already affected. It’s not convenient for me to say too much. My family and I also went on vacation. When I found out about the news, what I was most worried about was not myself, but the actual “Forensic Heroes” team, worried about whether the series will air or not.”

When asked if he had cursed, Raymond Wong responded, “Why would I curse? To who? With the bathroom? I was really worried. At the time, I did send a text to Sister Siu Ching (Miu Siu Ching) asking her if I could help.” (Are you mad at Jacqueline?) “There is nothing to be mad at. We are not in contact.” (Not mad or can’t be mad?) “We are not mad. We are outsiders, won’t respond on it. What I am most worried about is whether the series will be able to air or not. It’s not suitable for me to comment. We are friends so it’s definitely not suitable to comment. It’s just a pity because everyone’s hard efforts are going to waste.”

The Elaine Yiu (姚子羚) scandal keeps getting interesting as a person claiming to be the friend of Raymond Young’s (楊偉文) alleged “mistress” leaked five snippets of phone conversations that she claims are between Elaine Yiu and her friend. This person, who is being referred to as “Miss A”, also provided additional private pictures of Raymond Young and Elaine Yiu from their trip to Bangkok to Apple Daily HK.

A few of the pictures show Elaine Yiu and Raymond Young clothed in bed with Elaine Yiu looking at the camera. Miss A claims, “The pictures are geotagged. The date, time, and location are listed on top of the pictures. It was last October in Bangkok. How would she (Elaine Yiu) not know about taking pictures in bed with him?”

Miss A also alleges Elaine Yiu had always knew Raymond Young wanted to get back with Sarika Choy (蔡宛珊). In order to do that, she was willing to work with the mistress to force Raymond Young to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. Miss A says, “She (Elaine Yiu) was willing to be the second mistress. Raymond had actually initiated breaking up a few times, but she wanted to win and beat out the mistress.” These accusations are quite far fetched.

In the clips where someone sounding like Elaine Yiu is allegedly saying the following things:

“If he was more mature in his thinking, your wife wouldn’t leave you. This isn’t the first time I’ve said this to him. I said I finally understand why your wife left you.”

“He would definitely not tell me that his wife left him because he’s flirting with girls. He has said Sarika was not happy because he didn’t have time to spend with her since he works at the club from day to night while she’s waiting for him to come back at night. He said how does he have time. She knows I have to work, but she feels that it was better when he had no money, but more time.”

“In the end, I busted him. I told him I had a friend who knew his wife and that I had a friend on IG who saw your wife and a picture of you. He couldn’t deny it because I had previously asked him several times. I said I I will ask you one more time. Did you go see your wife? He was denying it completely.”

“No, we were going back to his place. He suddenly stopped the car saying he might have saw you waiting downstairs. I said, really, I don’t see it. I think he was full of it. He was waiting for me to retreat so that I wouldn’t go up to his place. Of course I wouldn’t fall for it. I purposely went up to his place.”

Sarika Choy spoke with hk01.com and declined to comment about her ex-husband’s romantic life and whether their divorce was over third parties. However, she did say that the decision to divorce wasn’t just over one thing and wasn’t made lightly. When asked if she found any traces of his wrongdoing before they separated, Sarika Choy explains, “Before we separated, I don’t think he committed any devious behavior with women behind my back. As to the authenticity of those recordings? I think they should be real because it’s already leaked. It’s also her voice. That’s all I can say.”

Taiwanese pop diva, Jolin Tsai (蔡依林), and her model boyfriend, Vivian Dawson (錦榮), broke up three years ago. Their relationship was always plagued with ill-will from the public due to Jolin Tsai being more successful and older than Vivian Dawson. While it was an amicable break up, the two didn’t have much public interaction with each other until last year when Vivian Dawson wished Jolin Tsai a happy birthday on Instagram.

It was reported 4 months after the break up, Vivian Dawson was often seen with fellow Japanese-Brazilian mixed model, Akemi. The two were always seen hanging out, riding bikes, eating with friends, and going to the gym together. To top it off, they’re always posting pictures and videos of each other and their time together on Instagram. However, the two always denied dating and claimed to be good friends only. Vivian Dawson was asked if there was a chance for him and Akemi to become boyfriend-girlfriend status. At the time, he responded, “This is something I don’t know.” Perhaps that relationship has elevated as the two were caught kissing by Taiwanese paparazzi today!

Vivian Dawson’s manager responded to the report saying, “Vivian is practically busy filming in China, but next month, he will return to Taiwan to host variety show, “Prince’s Moving Castle 3” (王子的移動城堡3). We don’t talk about relationships in private because Vivian values his privacy. Why don’t you guys ask them when you see them again, see how they respond. Akemi’s manager responded, “I can’t find Akemi. I don’t know her response and the company doesn’t oversee artists’ private life.”

Elaine Yiu (姚子羚) addressed the media today on her current scandal that was initially reporting her to be in a relationship with a married man, Raymond Young, and befriending his wife, Sarika Choy (蔡宛珊). In addition to the initial news report, a series of intimate pictures between Elaine Yiu and Raymond Young were released to the public. She addresses all the rumors and clarifies what really happened.

Apple Daily HK is at it again as they received a tip from a “Mr. L”, who alleges TVB actress, Elaine Yiu (姚子羚), has been secretly dating her boyfriend, Raymond Young, one of the directors at the Dragon-I nightclub, for 8 months. The 38 year old actress was dating Bong Cheng (鄭子邦) until their break up in March 2018 (Read about their relationship here.) Why is this a scandal? Because it seems Raymond Young is a married man, who allegedly has another mistress, so Elaine Yiu is being painted as the 4th person/2nd mistress in this relationship! In addition, intimate pictures of the couple were released by a whistleblower!

According to Mr. L, Raymond Young and his wife, Sarika Choy (蔡宛珊), have been married for 8 years. Sarika Choy is a Chinese-Indian mix. She entered the business as a model in 2001 at 18 years old. The 34 year old model once filmed a beer commercial with Stephen Chow (周星馳) and is currently an artist under Bob Lam’s (林盛斌) company. She is currently doing a lot of MC work, as shown in her IG.

Raymond Young’s alleged “mistress” is not in the industry. Mr. L provided several intimate pictures of Elaine Yiu and Raymond Young, including them in bed, and one of Elaine Yiu with Sarika Choy. It’s said Elaine Yiu is friends with Sarika Choy and are in a group chat together. When Apple Daily HK tried to reach out to Sarika Choy, she texted back saying, “Let me call u later. thank u”

Mr. L tells Apple Daily HK: “They met each other in July, August last year. They already went to Thailand together in October. At the time, the female was filming TVB series, “Of Greed And Ants” (黃金有罪). The male also accompanied her. Afterwards, they celebrated Valentine’s Day together. They already have a semi cohabiting relationship. The male also has a mistress. So Elaine Yiu is actually the second mistress. They also have a group chat. The wife and the second mistress (Elaine Yiu) are friends.”

Netizens are now focusing their attention on Elaine Yiu and even leaving her comments such as, “bootleg Jacqueline Wong” or “Jacqueline Wong 2.0.” As a result, she immediately disabled comments on her IG.

Good friend, Selena Lee (李施嬅) from the “胡說八道” BFF Crew was asked by Apple Daily HK whether she knew Elaine Yiu and Raymond Young were dating. She responded, “It’s better to ask the actual parties themselves. It’s not convenient for me to respond to anything related to this matter. I wasn’t aware of this. I don’t know anything. What’s being reported right now might not even be true. It’s better to ask the actual parties involved.”

Ever since it was announced “Forensic Heroes IV” (法證先鋒IV) was reshooting the scenes with Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎), her replacement has been a topic of discussion. TVB finally announced today they are replacing Jacqueline Wong with her good friend, Roxanne Tong (湯洛雯). She was at TVB today to see producer, Miu Siu Ching (梅小青), and went for a costume fitting. Miu Siu Ching expressed this was a birthday present to Roxanne Tong, who just celebrated her 32nd birthday on May 6th. She also says, “I wanted her to promise me one thing. That is to lose 10 pounds before we start filming on June 1st. She was willing to do it.”

Roxanne Tong was asked if she was afraid of taking Jacqueline Wong’s “leftovers.” She replied, “I am not afraid. I will take all the opportunities the company gives me. Having a good role to act in is already a good thing. I won’t concern myself with these things.” When asked if she is stressing about losing the 10 pounds before filming starts in June, she responds,” There is no stress. My weight is always yoyo-ing. There are times where I am skinny and times where I am heavier. It’s okay to lose weight. I am thinking about controlling my diet, exercising, and getting massages. I can probably come out with a diet book in the future.”

Roxanne Tong also says she is now focused on watching the prior series for research. Most of her scenes will be filmed with Raymond Wong. This is their first collaboration together.

According to exclusive news received by Oriental Daily News, it is reported former TVB actress, Fala Chen (陳法拉), is getting married on May 11th in France, to her French boyfriend, Emmanuel Straschnov, after dating for three years. It is said the wedding will be at a romantic manor in France and only nearest and dearest are invited. The 37 year old actress was previously married in 2013 to Neway heir, Daniel Suek (薛世恒), who is often mistaken for TVB actor, Benjamin Yuen.

Fala Chen took a big risk when she left TVB and her career in Hong Kong in 2014 and went to Juilliard in New York to study acting for four years. Her gamble paid off because she is currently filming an upcoming HBO series , “The Undoing,” with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. In 2016, she met Emmanuel in New York and was said to be love at first sight. Their relationship wasn’t revealed to the public until half a year later. Fala Chen had once said Emmanuel was charming and that their personalities meshed well together. While she might be career oriented, Fala Chen had once mentioned she loves children and has plans to have kids.

As for Emmanuel, he is currently the founder and CEO of a platform called “Bubble.” He has a MBA from Harvard Business School. After graduating, he once worked at the French Consulate in Japan. In 2007, he once worked as a consultant at a company in Shanghai for three years. He later worked in the US as an executive assistant. He has once said he has a deep affinity with Asia because his father was an exchange student in Taiwan during the 70’s. His parents later met each other in Beijing and fell in love.

Congratulations are in order for the 2007 Miss Hong Kong winner, Kayi Cheung (張嘉兒), as she has given birth to a baby girl, Hannah Lau. Kayi Cheung got married in 2015 and had her first child, Leora in 2016. She revealed to Oriental Daily News that Hannah was also a natural birth. Kayi Cheung was in labor for around three hours.

Chinese actor, Yang Yang (楊洋), and Chinese actress, Bridgette Qiao Xin (喬欣), have been in the news the past few days due to rumors of the two dating. This wouldn’t be the first time netizens or the press used “evidence” to prove the two were dating. The first time Yang Yang and Bridgette Qian Xin were rumored to be a couple, dates back to Valentine’s Day of this year. There were alleged reports of Yang Yang and Bridgette Qiao Xin shopping and dining together in London. Coincidentally, Yang Yang had uploaded a picture of him eating at a restaurant in London at the time. However, both parties had denied the rumors with Yang Yang’s manager saying, “There’s no such thing. How can it be? They’ve been classmates for so many years. If something were to happen, it would’ve happened already.”

The rumors ramped up again on May 7th when netizens claimed Bridgette Qiao Xin had used an alias account to like posts regarding Yang Yang. Bridgette Qiao Xin had previously told reporters in an interview that she did have multiple alias accounts. Netizens apparently found one of her accounts that had liked Yang Yang’s posts, but was unliked later on. There was also a post uploaded by Yang Yang, but instead of showing his account name, it was another alias. Fans discovered the account was only following Bridgette Qiao Xin, making them believe this was an alias account of Yang Yang’s. However, Yang Yang addressed the rumors in a comment blaming it on a bug in Weibo.

The dating rumors were spurred on when pictures of Yang Yang and Bridgette Qiao Xin allegedly holding hands at a supermarket surfaced today. Conveniently, the pictures only showed the backs of a couple that netizens believe to be Yang Yang and Bridgette Qiao Xin. Netizens started to compare the clothes in the picture to past pictures of the couple and found similarities. While fans are claiming the female in the pictures are definitely of Bridgette Qiao Xin, many are questioning whether the male is really Yang Yang. Some say he looks more like Bridgette Qiao Xin’s manager. At this time, neither parties have responded to the rumors.

Chinese heartthrob actor, Yang Yang (楊洋), finally opened his own Instagram account and his international fans are rejoicing. Fans from Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Turkey, Brazil, India, and more left comments on his posts saying how happy they are that he finally opened an Instagram account. It turns out Yang Yang had already opened his account in February, but never promoted it to the public. It wasn’t until fans noticed he had added his Instagram handle to his Weibo profile, which led to an increase in his followers.

As Yang Yang is currently filming for his drama, “Special Forces” (特战荣耀), in Turkey, he is posting pictures of his experience there, including the famed hot air balloons. Because he plays a military personnel in the new series, he had to sacrifice his pretty hair for a buzz cut. While Yang Yang has mostly played pretty boy characters in the past, this character shouldn’t be such a big challenge for him as he graduated from a military school.

Ever since Andy Hui (許志安) and Jacqueline Wong’s (黃心穎) “OnSum Cheating” (安心偷食) scandal was exposed, the headlines have been plastered with all kinds of news on Jacqueline Wong. They have even gone as far as harassing her family, including sister, Scarlett Wong (黃心美), who is also in the industry. Because of the scandal, netizens were able to dig up an old interview of Scarlett Wong’s (黃心美) where she talks about women having to be independent emotionally and financially and even eluding to what sounded like her father once having extramarital affairs.

Scarlett Wong, who is 37 years old this year, was once married, but unfortunately the marriage ended in divorce in 2015. She revealed she was dating again in 2017 through pictures she posted on IG, but kept the identity of her boyfriend a secret. However, netizens and the media have have caught her hand in hand with her boyfriend and his identity was finally exposed, even though she has never come out to confirm it.

In the old interview, Scarlett Wong had expressed that she has even gone through a divorce, so there was nothing for her to be afraid of. She also emphasizes the importance of prioritizing work above romance. Scarlett Wong had said, “My father is like all men, there were times where he was unfaithful. All these years, my mother has been setting a bad example. I actually don’t know if the reason my mother didn’t leave was due to her unwilling to part with us four sisters or whether she didn’t have ability to support her self. That’s why I spent my entire life not to be like her. I think I am walking on a very different path from my mother. “

Scarlett Wong’s father is a Chinese medicine doctor. While the family immigrated to Canada in 1995, their father stayed behind in Hong Kong to maintain his practice. Scarlett Wong didn’t go into details as to when his father committed these affairs, but she expressed she had to be an independent woman, including financial and emotional independence. She is committed to her career because she feels in a marriage, being able to support yourself will only allow you to have a say in the relationship.

Congratulations are in order for Phoebe Sin (單文柔) and Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) as the couple announced the birth of their daughter, Quinta, today! Phoebe Sin gave birth to Quinta via C-section. The couple just celebrated Phoebe Sin’s 29th birthday the previous day.

Phoebe Sin responded to Oriental Daily News and said, “Ruco and I are very happy. Seeing “Little Piglet” (Quinta), we feel so fortunate. She’s always smiling, so cute. Hope she grows up healthy. She looks like the both of us. Ruco was with me throughout the entire process. He cut the umbilical cord. I was still not fully conscious. I heard Ruco describing the baby, I laughed.”

When asked why they chose the name Quinta, Phoebe Sin said, “My younger sister suggested it. Later on, I thought it was pretty good. Q is in between P (Phoebe) and R (Ruco). The meaning of it is that she can grow up healthy and happy under our protection.”

Flow Leung (梁裕恆) is at it again trying to squeeze the last drop of his 15 minutes of fame. The former Mr. Hong Kong contestant and fitness instructor uploaded a Youtube clip on his account yesterday giving more “insight” on why the events of the “OnSum” scandal aren’t what they seem on the surface. He breaks down the scandal like it’s some conspiracy. However, the video and all the posts he made about the scandal have been removed from his social media accounts. Fortunately, Oriental Daily News was able to save the video before he took it down.

The following is a translation of the main points of the video:

“On April 2, this relationship has already been around for two years. How many people knew about this, how many people were in on it? This is the first point.

Point 2: How many taxis were there? If they took different taxis that night, would there be a different outcome that night?

Point 3: There are four characters in the car. One is the driver, one is the third party, the fatty. If the fatty wasn’t there, would this whole incident have been successful? Is the driver really just a simple taxi driver? All cars in Hong Kong drive on the right side, so it’s normal car cameras would be filming on the left side because passengers usually get on/off the left side. That night, Andy Hui sat on the right side. Why was the camera already facing on the right side? How did he know ahead of time that Andy Hui would be sitting on the right side? Who in the car can make this happen? Would it be the taxi driver is already in on this?

How many people knew about this relationship for the past two years? Could it be that both parties significant others already knew about this? There have been rumors that Cheng and Hui have an open marriage and allow each other to go out and play. But could it be that Hui fell in love while he was out playing? Could it be that one side is taking revenge? After the scandal blew up, who benefitted the most from it? From a financial standpoint, the biggest benefactor, whose marketing blew up? Whose popularity grew bigger? Who became the victim and got the sympathy?”

When it comes to Sammi Cheng’s statement and Kenneth Ma’s press conference, regarding Kenneth Ma’s attitude, it seemed like he was treating the situation as a third party. He doesn’t look hurt at all. Everyone says he is a good man. To me, I think they (Kenneth Ma and Jacqueline Wong) never loved each other. If they did love each other, then it’s pretty cold hearted. With Sammi Cheng, it was said she held his hand and prayed, talked for a very long time. Has everyone been mad at their husbands before? After such a big scandal, is it possible to immediately forgive that person that night? Could this be another public relations move? What is the reasoning behind this? Could it be another financial consideration?

Why am I standing up to support Jacqueline Wong? Because she is not selling herself. In society and the entertainment industry, these incidents are always happening. No one looks further into these incidents that always happens in showbiz. But this time, the whole city is “bullying” this girl. Why? Because Andy Hui is ugly and poor?

Everyone is saying I am trying to gain popularity. I know if I say this, I probably don’t need to film anymore. I know I’ll be yelled at nonstop by netizens. Because of what? Because no one is thinking, not thinking about getting to the truth. I also know a lot of these are just trolls. All are fake accounts. Why would someone want this situation to quickly settle down? It all comes back to the financial considerations. There are already some reports or online discussions already getting closer to the truth. I believe I will be vindicated from blame soon.”

Surprisingly, Yutori Kudo, who has beef with Jacqueline Wong, came out to question Flow Leung’s true motives. She wrote on her IG: Mr. Hong Kong is always saying he is helping Jacqueline Wong….but why do I feel like he might be the one that dislikes Ms. Wong the most? He is always trying to turn fallacious arguments into justified reasoning. “

Nicky Wu (吳奇隆) and Cecilia Liu Shishi (劉詩詩) have announced the birth of their baby boy today! Nicky Wu first posted the news on Weibo with the caption: “Little baby has arrived. Mom and son are healthy. Thank you everyone for your concern! @刘诗诗 Dearest mommy you’ve suffered! Cecilia Liu Shishi responded to the post saying, “Little baby is super cute!” The new parents haven’t shared a picture of their baby boy yet.

Cecilia Liu Shishi had been nursing the last trimester of her pregnancy in Taiwan so she could give birth there. It was reported earlier Nicky Wu had specially prepared a vacation in Kenting, Taiwan for his expectant wife before welcoming the birth of their baby.
