Kate Tsui and Elena Kong acted as cousins in TVB drama, Smooth Talker. Although the drama has finished airing, there are recent gossip news about the two stars.

According to Hong Kong media, Elena could not tolerate with Kate for being too obsessive with her appearance. Before filming for a scene at home, Elena and Kate had discussed about their scripts in advance and planned to act out the scene humorously.

However, when Elena saw that Kate was still wearing her high heels despite that they were shooting for a scene at home, Elena suddenly added in a line, “You are at home and what high heels are you still wearing”.

Kate reportedly went embarrassed after hearing Elena’s line.

In another scene, Kate was supposed to cry in front of Elena. When the cameras started to roll, Elena again added in a new line which was not part of the script. “There is a cure for Aids, but there is no cure for stupidity!”

Many working crew were said to be laughing after hearing Elena’s line.

When asked for her comment about the rumour, Elena said, “Don’t try to make me look like I am unrighteous!”

Artiste Elena Kong(江美儀) was in attendance for an anti-smoking campaign. She revealed she used to smoke for 10 plus years in the past but she has quit smoking for 10 years now.

When asked about her reason to quit smoking, she said she started to reflect on her life after she left ATV and wasn't dating at the time. She was also in poor health and needed to take Chinese medicine. I just wanted to feel better physically and emotionally: "I was still smoking at the time. A fengshui master told me that I didn't need to do anything except to get my voice back. He said as long as my voice is clear, my love life would turn around. So I decided to quit smoking." I feel suffocated when I smell cigarette now: "My mouth used to stink like garbage when I got up every morning."

Elena Kong (江美儀) will be filming new series soon and she appeared in the Central (中環) with her beloved dog around 6pm last afternoon (04 August). She went to the toilet and even brought her dog along as well. Elena smiled and greeted at the reporters with a friendly attitude upon waking out.

Elena then saw two friends while walking along and her friends seemed to have an liking with her dog and kept playing with it. Before leaving, she even told her dog to look at the camera and it was quite obedient. Subsequently, she gave 100 bucks to the valet when collecting her car and dove off after ensuring her dog sit well.

Elena Kong (江美儀) accepted a radio station interview and disclosed that she dubbed the voice for the movie, How to Train Your Dragon 2 (馴龍記2), and said: "I know I need to dub the voice for many roles and immediately agreed when I know Cate Blanchett participates as well.". She added that she only knew that she must sang after accepting the role but was poor in singing and will scare the audiences.

Fortunately with the advanced in technology, Elena felt that her singing was nice and when mentioned about many people were envy of her collaborating with Michael Mui (苗僑偉) in new series,  she said: "Perhaps many people are envy of Michael as well.". Elena also complimented that Michael looked better than 10 years ago and he is indeed the 'Chok King'!

Elena Kong revealed that she agreed with TVB and had warned her colleagues to be careful when answer the phone, and she right. "The company is right to remind people to be careful when answering phone calls. Nowadays, my boy friend picks up the phone first when it rings. Although I agree to eat salted fish when thirsty, and they can report about me not wearing make up etc, I don't care. But if they use me to attack other people, this is absolutely not acceptable. Earlier when I was not feeling well, the company treated me well, gave me time to rest. I went back to work when I was better. Even when I was filming "Line Walker", they juggled their schedule according to my health status. I don't have to do a lot of motion scenes, it was supposed to be is a good thing, but the media turned the fact upside down, they shouldn't do that. I have to clear this up now."

Talking about some PAs complaint that TVB, Elena Kong said she doesn't think working for TVB is hard work, it depends how you look at it as every one has different opinion about hard work. She added "I cant's speak for other artists, but I treat the PAs well, we get on well together like colleagues, we are like a family, play and work together, there is no difference!"

Somebody used artiste Elena Kong's (江美儀) identify and pretended as her by using messages to borrow money from friends. Upon discovering this, Elena immediately clarified through her blog: "Dear friends, no accidents has happen to me and I am not in need of any money. It is not me sending the message and please be careful. Thank you." Elena told her friends and fans to be cautious.

Yesterday Tavia Yeung, Elena Kong, JJ Jia, Kenneth Ma, Damian Lau, Ben Wong and the rest of the cast of attended Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles' Christmas event. Tavia had noticeable pimples on her face and forehead, but she denied she got pimples because the TV Queen battle is stressing her out. She said: "Just have to look after my health more, endocrine disorders and hormone imbalance." Tavia is heading over to Malaysia for the Astro TVB Awards soon, she said: "I do have confidence. (Engage in a skirmish?) I hope to get the award too, but then again I'm afraid if I get the Astro award, I wont' get the one in HK." It was said Kate Tsui was paid more than Tavia at an earlier event they attended together. It seems like Tavia doesn't mind at all, she said: "I don't know how much she was paid, but its pretty good, keep it going, work together and earn more money!"

In last night's episode of SSSS, Elena had a face-to-face 'risk of kiss' scene with Ron Ng. She reveals actually there will be an actual kiss scene to broadcast later, but she's already feeling the 'repercussions'. She said: "Earlier I got some very nasty comments from fans, they said I'm an old cow trying to eat tender grass. (Hard to take?) It's funny! Of course we are at different levels. I've heard there was big reactions when Joyce Cheng kissed Ron years ago, but the audience nowadays are clever, they know how to distinguish." As for her boyfriend (Ng Kwan Cheung) spotted with Chinese singer Mandy Yan at a night club? Elena said: "That's pretty funny too. I trust my boyfriend 100%, the photos were forced to make it look like they were kissing. Basically they have known each other for many years, I know her too. ('Heavy Aftertaste' for boyfriend?) The heavy aftertaste is more on me, just blame it on my black stocking seducing scene, got me some headlines and now even my boyfriend gets dragged into it. (You used black stockings to seduce your boyfriend too?) Why do I have to do that? Once he sees me, he already thinks I'm hot and can't hold it!"

As for JJ Jia, last night she showed off her long 'career line', seduced and kissed Damian Lau. She said: "Accidentally ran into him and kissed him. Damian is quite attractive. (You wanted more?) No, I just can't believe I could kiss my idol." As for Damian, he said: "They're all just kissing me, not me kissing them. You all shouldn't talk about this and lowering the level. When it comes to exotic films, nobody talks about it and just talks about the picture, it's so strange."
