She said: "It's best to keep it all separate, no matter if it's men or women, it's better to keep it clear." When asked of her marriage plans? Maggie said: "Even I did, I won't be saying it yet.

Sonija Kwok is currently shooting TVB's Lunar New Year series, Record of the Fifth Day Opening and TVB initially intended to cast her in producer Tsui Wing Hong's new series Transfer of Love Firm (傳愛事務所) co-starring TV Kings Moses Chan and Wayne Lai. The other cast includes Fala Chen, Sire Ma and Susan Tse. However, Sonija's daughter is her utmost priority, therefore she decided to turn down the series and spend her first Christmas with her daughter instead. Although TVB high executives personally called her to discuss the series, Sonija still politely turned down the job.

Reporters contacted Sonija, when asked if she turned down the new series? She admitted one of the executives did call her, but because shooting Record Fifth Day is already too exhausting and the filming schedule of the two series are too close, she decided to turn it down. She said: "I'm pretty tired, its getting better now though. Before, I was working every day. I considered my current situation, if I had a month off before I start another series, then that wouldn't be a problem, but since I can't physically handle it, then I don't want to be working like this." When speaking of the cast for Transfer of Love Firm are all good actors? Sonija said: "I know! It's a pity, every one of them are really good artists!"

It was understood, Maggie Siu was first casted in this series, but then Sonija replaced her and in the end, Sonija withdraws as well. Christine Ng ultimately 'fills the shoes' for the two actresses who turned down the series. Christine accepted a telephone interview and expressed: "Actually I don't mind how many 'shoes' I have to fill for, just as long as the role fits me. Also, there are TV Kings Wayne and Moses in this series. What more can I ask for! Fala and I are very close, she's in this series too, so I really want to be part of it."

Hong Kong actress Maggie Siu is speculated to be carrying martial arts actor-boyfriend, Vincent Sze's baby after she was photographed with her hand on her tummy, when she was on a date with her boyfriend five days ago.

After her ugly spilt with ex-boyfriend, Hong Kong actor Ekin Cheng in 1999, the 47-year-old actress started dating 37-year-old Vincent in 2008 despite their 10-year age gap.

Last Friday, reporters caught the loving couple out on a date, sharing an umbrella under the rain as they made their way to Vincent's car. Maggie was seen holding her tummy on several occasions, sparking off rumours that the TVB actress is pregnant with Vincent's baby.

Vincent vehemently denied pregnancy rumours when contacted for clarifations, saying that he did not feel that Maggie was holding her tummy and suggested that the action might be "due to an upset stomach".

When the reporter asked if they have plans to settle down soon, Vincent expressed that they have "no plans to get married yet".

Experienced actor Wayne Lai, Maggie Siu, Michelle Yim and Aimee Chan were at the blessing ceremony for TVB new costume drama The Great Eunuch set in the Qing Dynasty. Initially Michelle withdrew from her role as 'Empress Dowager Cixi' due to schedule conflicts and Maggie Cheung replaced her for the Sales Presentation shooting. However, after a few twist and turns, the role lands back on Michelle once again. Despite all that, the limelight could not leave Maggie Siu as she is rumored to have secretly married martial arts actor, Vinz Sze Cho Lam!

Maggie Siu, who plays Empress Dowager Ci'an, did not directly respond to the marriage news, but kept a pleasant smile the whole time. When asked if she'll be giving out red envelopes this year? She said: "Artists have always gave out red envelopes! (Is there a different feeling when giving red envelopes out after marriage?) I will not talk about my personal life! I'll leave this topic for the press conference next time! (You have to hold a press conference, it's that big deal?) Of course!" As for Maggie Cheung, changing roles on short notice, expressed there are many outside opportunities, but she turned many TV and film jobs just to be in The Great Enunch. When speaking of When Heaven Burns banned in Mainland, Maggie (Siu) said viewers in Mainland can find friends to help them record the series: "I can't control this, after all if you want to watch, there will be a way to."

As the role 'Empress Dowager Cixi' was a regained role, Michelle said: "I was only able to get the role back because luckily the crew pushed back the filming. This time, I turned down many other opportunities to make room on my schedule to shoot this series. (Lost a lot of revenue?) I don't calculate that! Discussing other series now! (It's much more comforting shooting in Mainland?) The mechanism is different in the two places." As for Wayne, who plays Lee Lin Ying, expressed: "This time my role can't be distinguished between good or evil. It's not your average palace scheming dramas. It is about how Lee Lin Ying can survive in the palace."

Yesterday Maggie Siu attended "Reach For The Heart" charity event. It was recently rumored she has been in a long time relationship with martial arts actor Vinz Sze. The two have been cohabiting and secretly got married. Appears to have gained some weight, Maggie was congratulated constantly by the reporters, but she came prepared: "I am not talking about my personal life, why don't we talk more about this event. I'll talk about the secret marriage rumor next time. I want to read more reports first. After all, if necessary, I will provide an explanation to everyone. I understand too that you all need to have an explanation for your company too, I will make arrangements!"

When she heard reporters praised that she's full of smiles, Maggie continued: "You all (reporters) too, Christmas is coming and I'm doing a charity event, of course I should look pretty!" As for if ex-lover Ekin Cheng congratulated her? She laughed: "I'll answer next time. (You will admit next time?) I need to lay it out first, talk about it next time!" She also said she is currently busy shooting for a Lunar New Year film and a costume drama.
