Niki Chow (周勵淇) made her first public appearance on the 11th since announcing her marriage to Chinese actor, Fu Hongming (傅浤鳴) last December. Her marriage was met with a lot of controversy as Fu Hongming divorced his ex-wife in March 2017. Niki Chow and Fu Hongming were caught dating in June of the same year. As a result, many painted her as the third party and Fu Hongming for being a scumbag. It was even alleged they had a shotgun marriage.

The media also made a big deal about Fu Hongming being married before and having a child with his ex-wife. To this, Niki Chow responds, “Everyone will have a big reaction to this, but of course I accept this.” When asked if she was bothered by the stepmother title, she says, “This is not a big deal. This is his past. No matter what happens, I will accept everything about his past. I already knew this when we were together so I don’t really mind.”

When asked if she was pregnant, Niki Chow responded, “No, look at my stomach. Everyone is speculating I got pregnant first. I am telling everyone it’s not true. I don’t know when I’ll be pregnant. I want to spend more time together first.”

Niki Chow also shared they will be settling down in Hong Kong since Fu Hongming also has quite some friends there. When asked whether her husband changed his name to avoid being dug up, Niki Chow says, “No, he has actually changed it for a while now. We announced it since we already announced our marriage.” On how long the two were dating, she reveals it was only within a year and stressed she wasn’t the third party. Niki Chow shared she was a bit unhappy about being labelled as the third party. Fu Hongming wanted to help her clarify the rumors, but she told him not to get so upset. As for netizens labeling him as a scumbag boyfriend, Niki Chow also stresses it’s hard to control what others say. She already expected people to be gossiping, so she doesn’t care too much.

The popularity of the daily series, “Come Home Love: Lo and Behold” is unparalleled. There are news about the series and it’s cast practically everyday. The latest news about Mark Ma and Jan Tse leaving the show was devastating to a lot of the fans of the on-screen couple. Mark Ma and a producer on the show later clarified it was just a temporary leave as Mark Ma and Jan Tse are busy filming other series. However, rumors have been circulating among fans that Jan Tse is being frozen by TVB.

The rumors started when TVB held a celebratory dinner banquet with the cast and crew to celebrate the success of the show. Mark Ma attended the dinner, but Jan Tse was nowhere to be seen. Netizens attributed Jan Tse’s absence from the dinner to the rumors of her being frozen by TVB. Something similar happened last year when Jan Tse was missing from the promotional poster for an event and fans surmised she was leaving the show. Shortly afterwards, her character was written out for three months. Mark Ma told hk01.com, “I didn’t hear about those rumors. Maybe she is busy working. I see her on IG saying she’s filming “Forensic Heroes IV” (法政先鋒). I think there are also other projects she’s working on.”

Mandy Lam also commented on the rumors, “I didn’t hear about it. She should be filming another series. I see her at work sometimes.” Jack Hui added, “She should be filming “Forensic Heroes IV.” I’ve also had to take time off from the series to film “Fist Fight” (兄弟) before.

Fans might be overzealous this time since their speculations of Jan Tse leaving the show last year were actually true. Based on Jan Tse’s IG, it looks like she is busy with other work commitments.

It’s just a whole bunch of friends meeting up for dinner. Let nature take its course.”

I am still a child myself.”

Congratulations are in order for Myolie Wu(胡杏兒) and her husband, Phil Lee (李乘德), as she announced her pregnancy today. The 39 year old actress already has an adorable one year old son, Brendan.

The Lee Farmhouse can finally open!”

Myolie Wu also expressed, “I’m very happy to be having a baby in the year of the pig. I can really open a farm now. When I was carrying Brendan last time, I was working. This pregnancy, I am also filming a series. Maybe the baby is a lucky charm for me. It wants to work with me. I will be finished filming at the end of February, so it’s pretty good. However, my morning sickness is a bit more extreme this time. I seldom have an appetite. After I finish filming this series, I should be staying in Hong Kong so I could spend more time with Brendan. I could also do some more relaxed work. Lastly and the most important is that I want my baby to be healthy and safe. Thank you everyone for your well wishes.”

Angelababy and her husband, Huang Xiaoming, have been in the headlines lately for reportedly being one couple of many many celebrities that owe back taxes to the Chinese government. While the two are a power couple, they also have their fair share of critics and naysayers. Angelababy was once criticized for getting special treatment for not going into the water as part of the punishment when everyone else did in an episode of “Keep Running.” This time, it’s Angelababy that is in the headlines for her supposed diva behavior. Recently, there were viral photos circulating among Chinese social media platforms showing Angelababy in Shanghai filming an advertisement at an indoor location. She was surrounded by a bunch of stylists preparing her for the shoot while her assistant was bent down helping her take off the socks and changing shoes.

Angelababy received a lot of backlash from netizens on her behavior. One netizen commented, “How much does she pay her assistant each year? She even has to put on her socks for her.” Because Angelababy wasn’t seen bending down once, many netizens have said she has “princess syndrome.” There were also supporters coming to her defense saying that this situation happens all the time at photoshoots. They also said that because her clothes and hair can’t be messed up, having her assistant help would be better and is understandable. Comments range from, “This is what assistants are hired to do. So we expect her not to wear shoes and just to sit in the dressing room to touch up her makeup.” to “Spending money to hire an assistant is to do things like this.

In the video clip, Angelababy’s baby boy, “Little Cotton”, was seen visiting his mother on set. They pause the session while Angelababy was seen carrying her son. It was reported Angelababy was filled with energy after seeing Little Cotton on set.

Do you think netizens overreacted? Angelababy wouldn’t be the first celebrity to have someone at her beck and call.

TVB actor, Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪), did an interview with popular radio host, Terry Leung (梁泰來) recently. On the show he talked about his relationship with girlfriend, Bowie Cheung (張寶兒). He mentions the two got together after filming variety show, “All Work No Pay Holidays” (打工捱世界). He describes Bowie Cheung as a “happy baby.” When talking about how they met, Benjamin Yuen jokingly says Bowie Cheung made the first move. He says, “I’ve told Bowie before. I firmly believe it was her that hit on me first because she said, “Your lifestyle is kind of like a westerner’s.” This made me think whether she was interested in getting to know me better.”

Benjamin Yuen reveals when they were filming in Africa, they often chatted while riding in jeeps. They got to know each other better. After returning to Hong Kong, they developed their relationship step by step until where they’re at today. He also reveals he had his first love around 15, 16 years of age and that he had quite a few romances before he entered the industry. When asked why his previous relationships failed, he says, “I didn’t know how to cherish back then. I also didn’t like being managed. Even when my mom tried to manage me, I wouldn’t listen, let alone others?”

He doesn’t think Bowie Cheung constrains him and this has actually allowed them to love each other more. He says, “Her way of being free and not managing will make you want to listen to her. It makes you think this girl is willing to accommodate to you. So you will treat her especially well. Slowly, the both of us start to treasure each other.”

This year was also hard for Benjamin Yuen as he lost his father. He was grateful to Bowie Cheung for being there when he needed support the most. He says, “When we went to the emergency room, my father had already passed. During this whole process, I kept a lot to myself. When I went home, Bowie was by my side watching me cry. Later on, she was there when I was trying to cheer up and taking care of my father’s funeral.

When asked if he has found his significant other, he says, “I believe I found her. I don’t want to experience the mistakes from before or not knowing how to cherish the special moments. A lot of friends are asking me when I will get married, you guys don’t need to worry. I will announce it when it is the right time.”

Chinese actor, William Feng Shaofeng (馮紹峰), decided to announce his pregnancy with wife and actress, Zanilia Zhao Liying (趙麗穎), on the first day of 2019. This isn’t news to many, as Zanilia Zhao Liying has been rumored to be pregnant for some time now with some even saying they had a shotgun marriage. The couple decided to announce the good news in a clever way by using the first two characters of their new series, “The Story of Minglan” (知否知否應是綠肥紅瘦), that’s currently airing. William Feng Shaofeng’s post said: “Don’t you know (知否), don’t you know (知否), we should be a family of three.” Zanilia Zhao Liying responded to his post saying, “Waiting, waiting, welcome 2019.” with a pig emoji as it is the year of the pig.

Although the parents to be haven’t revealed the sex of the baby nor the due date, Chinese media are speculating Zanilia Zhao Liying is around seven months pregnant. It is reported she is having a boy and will give birth in March. The two registered for marriage in October of last year, but they didn’t take any wedding photos or have a wedding banquet. It is rumored William Feng Shaofeng told his friends they didn’t take wedding photos because Zanilia Zhao Liying was already pregnant and would be inconvenient. It is said they plan on taking the photos after she gives birth.

Rising TVB actor Owen Cheung is quite popular with the ladies. With TVB promoting him to be the next generation’s leading man, he already has four series under his belt this year. Ever since his break up with fellow actress, Apple Chan (陳芷尤) last year, he has been rumored with Nancy Wu (胡定欣) and Zoe Yu (余潔滢). However, it seems those were just tabloid fodder as Oriental Daily News has caught him hanging around with internet celebrity and actress, Renci Yeung (楊偲泳), and alleges the two are dating.

It is said the two met through friends and starting dating shortly after knowing each other. Renci Yeung has a reputation for being the bustier version of Taiwanese actress, Michelle Chen (陳妍希). Because of Owen Cheung’s blossoming career, the two are keeping their relationship private. According to Oriental Daily News, they stay at Renci Yeung’s home in Sai Wan as part of their dates. However, Owen Cheung was performing at an event during Christmas and Renci Yeung was seen in the audience supporting him.

Owen Cheung, who has been filming new series, “Airport Security Unit” (機場特警), was seen heading to Sai Wan after he finished filming. He headed to Renci Yeung’s building and wasn’t seen leaving the building until the next day at two in the afternoon. The two came out separately to avoid being seen together. Later that day, Owen Cheung picked up Renci Yeung from work and returned to her abode. The two didn’t leave until three hours later with Owen Cheung scoping the surrounding area before signaling Renci Yeung to come out. It is said Owen Cheung drove Renci Yeung to get dessert together then drove her back home before returning to his own home.
