Carman Lee, Loretta Lee, Fennie Yuen and Lawrence Ng etc attended a promotion activity for TVB series "Never Dance Alone" in a shopping mall in Yau Tong yesterday. Loretta's popularity has risen since the series of "Never Dance Alone". She has been getting plenty of job offers to do commercials recently. She revealed that she had a nightmare the night before "My ex-husband called me and asked me to be the spokesperson for a beauty product. I didn't know what to do, I wasn't sure if I would get money from him. So far he hasn't given me any alimony, I hardy have any contact with him. (Why didn't you ask him for maintenance money?) I don't think I could get anything from him. I sued him once, my daughter is nearly 18 anyway, don't think I can get anything from him. If he doesn't want any responsibilities, there is nothing I can do about it. I have forgiven him already, let's hope he stays away from me and doesn't give me any troubles."

It's Lawrence birthday today, the organizer prepared a big birthday cake for him to celebrate his birthday a day early. Lawrence expressed "I have been busy working these days, I don't always have time to get involved with the promotion activities for the series". Lawrence went on to say that he will be flying to Shanghai to film a new movie soon, therefore, he may not be in Hong Kong for the final episode of "Never Dance Alone". Speaking about the rumor that the film version of "Never Dance Alone" is being planned; Flora Chan and Loretta Lee may not be included in the cast, Lawrence replied "I didn't hear Eric mentioned anything about the film version. Flora is very busy looking after her daughter as well as studying, we shall wait and see."

Loletta Lee and Joe Tay were shooting a dating scene in Central last night for TVB new series M Club. However, two nearby restaurants complained that the lighting the crew put up affected their business and at one point interrupted filming because they wre standing in front of the cameras. Although the police came to the scene to get the issue resolved, the TVB crew expressed they had all their applications done to use this location. Unfortunately the restaurant staff were still unwilling to give up and the crew had to use a different location. Loletta and Joe expressed their apologies.

Joe disclosed he has a kiss scene with his idol Loletta and had a kiss that lasted over an hour. He said: "Initially the director asked us to just start passionately kissing right from the start, but I asked Loletta if we could take it slowly. We'll start kissing from the left side of the lip! (Did you do any preparations before the scene?) I used mouth wash." Taking away Joe's first on-screen kiss, Loletta said: "Are you kidding, don't believe him! But I didn't do much preparation before shooting. That's good too, I could try something new because he brought a new mouth wash with him."

Yesterday Carman Lee, Loletta Lee, Angie Cheong and Grace Yip appeared at TVB City for new series M Club. The ladies were dressed up as school girls that gave off a “heavy flavor” feeling. They were dressed in school uniforms with heavy makeup, wigs and pink cheeks. However, they seem to really enjoyed it. Carman laughed and said its a familiar feeling, as it triggered her memories back in the school days. “Its been so long since I’ve worn a school uniform, I don’t want to take it off!”

Earlier it was reported Loletta was displeased with Carman because she had more screen time than her, but at the scene the two proved the rumor wrong. They were chatting happily and put their arms around one another. During the interview, Carman and Loletta denied the bad terms rumor. Carman expressed she learned about the rumor from a friend, she said: “No matter how I respond, there will always be many different versions of it. After all, the rumor has not affected our filming progress. Behind the cameras, we chat and even talked about how we would respond to this rumor.” She emphasized twice: “I”m not looking, I don’t care and I don’t know.”

Loletta also expressed they came prepared to respond to the rumor. She clarified she did not fight for more screen time. “I have never fought for screen time and the script has already been fully written, there is nothing to fight for! (Awkward?) No, its not true. Why would I feel awkward?” Loletta disclosed her daughter is starting school overseas soon and that she feels unwilling to part from her, but she hopes her daughter will learn to be independent. “Its difficult being a single mother!”

TVB series M Club (previously Aerobic Girls) recently started filming. Last night Carmen Lee, Loletta Lee, Gloria Yip, Fennie Yuen, Angie Cheong and Lawrence Cheng were filming from the afternoon until midnight. Fortunately the weather was nice and the ladies appeared very professional. Carmen was in a great mood and didn't yawn at all. With so many actresses in this series, there will bound be a lot of gossips, but the ladies expressed they are working together happily. Carmen smiled: "Its part of the series. No need to write us on bad terms!"

At 4pm, Loletta and Carmen were filming in Central, the two were dressed like wealthy housewives. Loletta had a thick heel on and pulled in the height difference she had with Carmen.

At 8pm, Loletta completed her scenes, but Carmen changed into a blue dress for another scene with Glora, Fennie, Angie and Lawrence. This sene was about Carmen strolling with her husband Lawrence and showing off their love. Her three sisters stood behind and watched the couple with a frown on their faces.

Also, Flora Chan expressed, filming this series, she is getting adequate amount of rest: "I have enough energy to film series. The happiest is I can stay in HK and spend more time with my daughter." Flora left a deep impression ten years ago in Triumph in the Skies as the role "Belle". Many people felt disappointed she wasn't able to continue the fate with "Sam Gor" in TITS2. However, Flora didn't feel it was a pity she couldn't participate. "I'm currently filming this series, don't have much time to watch TITS2. (The audience feel its a pity there isn't Belle in the sequel?) The other artists are good to watch too. I support them! (Do you feel its a pity?) I don't. There is a reason to every decision made. At the time, I concentrated on my family and the schedule had to fit with my school schedule. It's not about whether its a regret or not."

M Club starts off with seven good girl friends defending a dance studio. When they reunite after 20 some years, they realize their dreams are gone based on their current situations and work on trying to pick up on their dream again.
