Lately there have been rumors saying Mat Yeung (楊明) moved into his girlfriend, Lisa Ch’ng’s (莊思明) mansion, accusing him of being a kept man. Lisa Ch’ng is a Malaysian Chinese. It’s said someone in her family has “Datuk” status, an honorific title usually bestowed to prominent male figures and men who contributed something of value to society. Lisa Ch’ng clarified the rumors in a lengthy IG post today.

“A lot of people think I live a good life without worries, but how many people really know me and my lifestyle?

If I told everyone that money doesn’t just appear in my hands, that I need to earn money myself, how many people would believe me?
I know I am pretty fortunate because I have a place to live, so I am very thankful. But I also need to work hard to make money to support my day to day needs and also reduce the burden on my family. I am not a person who doesn’t need to work or worry, like what everyone says.
Frankly speaking, I wish I was!

However, everyone can continue misunderstanding me. I don’t really care, because sine day 1 of stepping into the industry, everyone looks at me this way.

The thing I mind the most is people saying Mat Yeung is a kept man (“eating soft rice”: 食軟飯)!
I already kept my mouth shut for a long time. I thought time would prove everything, but a lot of people won’t face the truth.
I can be very certain and tell everyone that Mat Yeung has never used a penny of mine. It’s actually the opposite. When I buy clothes, shoes, or go to the supermarket for everyday goods, Mat Yeung pays for everything. Because he told me it’s a man’s responsibility to take care of his other half.

It’s time for the Chinese internet to explode again as Fan Bingbing (范冰冰) and Li Chen (李晨) have announced their break up on June 27. Chinese netizens were just recovering from Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo’s divorce news earlier today and now they have to endure another breakup of China’s once beloved celebrity couple.

Fan Bingbing announced the news on Weibo around 8:24 PM (local China time) saying:

“There might be a few types of farewell you experience in a lifetime. During our encounter, the love and warmth we harvested has turned into eternal energy. Thankful for what you’ve always given to me all along, support and love. Thankful for the care and love that will continue in the future. We are no longer us. We are still us.”

Li Chen immediately replied to her post saying:

“From friends to lovers, back to being friends. The way we express our feelings will change, but the purest feelings between you and I won’t change. The trust and support we have for each other is eternal. We are no longer us. We are still us.”

The two announced they were dating on May 20, 2015. Li Chen proposed to Fan Bingbing on her birthday party in 2017. They had originally planned to get married in a lavish wedding during the second half of 2018. However, because of Fan Bingbing’s tax evasion scandal in May 2018, all those plans were put on hold. It wasn’t until September 2018 that Fan Bingbing admitted to the scandal. Throughout her tax evasion scandal, Li Chen had remained quiet, probably due to the circumstances. There were even rumors of break up until a close friend of theirs debunked the rumor and said the two had celebrated her birthday last year. It wasn’t until October 2018 when Fan Bingbing was “freed” that Li Chen publicly made a statement saying, “No matter how hard, we will go through the hardships together.”

The news has come as a shock as there were reports of Li Chen and Fan Bingbing out and about. During this year’ Lunar New Year, Li Chen was even seen picking up Fan Bingbing’s younger brother, Fan Chengcheng, from the Beijing airport. Li Chen was also present at the opening ceremony of Fan Bingbing’s new beauty salon back in March. Who would’ve thought this relationship would take such a different turn in a matter of 3 months.

Following Song Joong Ki’s announcement that he has filed for a divorce, Song Hye Kyo has released a statement through her agency.

On June 27, Song Joong Ki’s attorney stated that the actor had taken his first steps in filing for a divorce from wife Song Hye Kyo. The actor also released an official statement apologizing to his fans and explaining that he hoped for an amicable divorce.

Shortly afterwards, Song Hye Kyo’s agency United Artists Agency (UAA) Korea responded to the news on behalf of the actress.

A representative of the agency stated, “We find it unfortunate that we are greeting you with unhappy news. After careful consideration, actress Song Hye Kyo and her husband are taking the first steps toward a divorce.”

“The reason [for the divorce] is differences in personality,” continued the agency, “and because the two were unable to overcome their differences, they were forced to come to this decision. We respectfully ask for your understanding in regards to the fact that we cannot confirm any further details out of respect for the two actors’ personal lives. Additionally, we urge you to refrain from making scandalous posts and speculative comments.”

On June 27, actor Song Joong Ki's legal representative revealed in an official statement to the press, "On June 26, we filed a request for divorce on behalf of Song Joong Ki with Seoul's family court."

In addition, Song Joong Ki relayed through his legal rep, "First, I want to deliver my apologies to many of you who love and cherish me, for such unfortunate news. I have decided to move forward in a divorce with Song Hye Kyo. Rather than lengthening the process by considering each other's faults and deriding each other, I hope to complete the divorce amicably. I ask for your understanding in the fact that it is difficult to reveal the specific details of our personal lives, and I promise to overcome these damages and do my best as an actor in my production roles from now on."

Meanwhile, the Song Joong Ki-Song Hye Kyo couple married back on October 31, 2017.

Chinese artist, Han Geng (韩庚), who got his start as a K-Pop idol as a member of Super Junior, announced he was dating Hong Kong actress, Celina Jade (盧靖姍), on his 34th birthday last year. It all started when Han Geng wrote a Weibo post on February 9, tagging Celina Jade, with the caption: “Hello, 34 years old. Hello, my girl @CelinaJade. Celina Jade responded to the post with a similar caption: “Hello, my boy @HanGeng.”

According to Apple Daily, they discovered an application for marriage registration in Hong Kong under Han Geng and Celina Jade’s names today. The marriage certificate was dated June 17th. Even though the occupation is not listed for either of them, the birthdate listed under the male is the same as Han Geng’s, February 9, 1984, while the female’s is listed as June 10, 1985, same as Celina Jade’s. As for the address, they reported Chaoyang District in Beijing. Celina Jade had posted on February 7, 2018, “Beijing, my new home.”

When Sina Ent contacted them for a response, their team members said, “If there is good news, they will share it at once with everyone.”

The marriage rumors already started on June 14th, when it was discovered Celina Jade had originally posted a picture with a ring on her ring finger. She later edited the post with the same picture, but with the ring photoshopped away. In February of this year, Celina Jade celebrated Han Geng’s birthday with his mom present as well.

Director, Roy Chow (周顯揚), who worked with Han Geng on the film, “Knockout”, revealed to Apple Daily today, “I am happy for them. I already received their wedding invitation earlier on. I will be attending their wedding. Han Geng and I are good brothers. I witnessed them dating. When they were dating, Celina would often visit us. Seeing him get married, I am very happy for my brother.”

How They Met
Celina Jade, legally known as Celina Jade Horan, was born to a Chinese mother and an American father. The 34 year old actress can speak fluent English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, due to her upbringing. Celina Jade got her big break in 2017’s Chinese blockbuster hit, “Wolf Warrior 2” (戰狼II), starring Wu Jing (吳京), as Dr. Rachel Smith in the highest grossing Chinese movie ever. Before landing a role in “Wolf Warrior 2, she also guest starred in a few episodes of American TV show, “Arrow”, as Shado. With the success of “Wolf Warrior 2,” she shifted her sights from Hollywood to Chollywood.

The two were actually presenters at the 2017 Golden Rooster Awards (金雞獎). It’s reported Celina Jade piqued an interest in Han Geng when he helped her down the stairs when they were presenting. She was so touched by the gesture, she tagged him on Weibo saying: “Thank you (formal use of you) for helping me down the stairs. Didn’t get a chance to say bye bye before. Very happy to meet you! Good show! Looking forward to hearing you sing your theme song.”

Hong Kong actress Christy Chung cried in the rain after an argument with her Chinese actor-singer husband Shawn Zhang, China Press reported.

The celebrity couple recently took part in a Chinese reality show, My Dearest Ladies, where the couple and his mother took a vacation together.

The couple had been spotted arguing in several episodes of the show and in the latest episode, Chung was seen sobbing in the rain as Zhang and her did not see eye to eye when they went shopping.

The couple were travelling in Spain and Chung asked for Zhang's opinion when she wanted to buy some vegetables and socks.

Zhang was unhappy as he thought that Chung did not take his suggestion into consideration.

Chung realised the change in Zhang and asked for the reason behind his sudden mood swings.

Zhang lashed out at Chung and said, "You always have ways to say that I am wrong", "I do not dare to annoy you" and "Whatever I say will backfire".

It ended up with a heated argument where Chung cried in the rain, claiming that she was also very tired.

It looks like viewers may still get to see Jacqueline Wong on the small screen after all.

The TVB actress was caught in a cheating scandal with singer Andy Hui in April and several television shows involving her have since been affected.

The Offliners was one of the first TV shows to be canned, while Forensic Heroes 4 was reshot to remove scenes with Wong, with her role in the TV drama being replaced by actress Roxanne Tong.

Finding Her Voice, where Wong has a leading role, was also scheduled to be reshot, with actress Kaman Kong one of the candidates to replace her in the TV serial.

However, TV producer Wong Wai Sing has since confirmed with the Hong Kong media that the reshooting would not take place.

He explained to Ming Pao Daily News on Sunday (June 23) that removing all the scenes with actress Wong would mean reshooting the entire 30 episodes.

He said that other factors were considered before the decision was taken not to reshoot the TV serial. They included some of the locations used for filming being unavailable, such as a hotel used in the shooting being renovated for a few months.

He added that it was almost impossible to accommodate the different schedules of the actors in a short span of time and fit them in the more than one month set aside for the reshooting.
