Edison Chen made an official comeback on the stage of Hong Kong. Yesterday he was a guest at the Asia Game Show opening ceremony and promoted for his new album. Besides Edison's mom and good friend coming to support him, fans were also arranged to go up on stage to give him gifts. When he rapped two songs, there was not enough atmosphere, so audience had no reaction, just his good friend made sounds.

Edison's new album CONFUSION is a 15 track album with a song-story written about his two year life experiences. Songs include Man in the Mirror (self-confusion), Reboot (new start) and Salute. After experiencing the Artist Sex Photo Scandal, Edison pocketed a huge circle of inspirations. The incident is not his fault, but he still has to admit wrong to everyone.

Back on the Hong Kong stage, Edison expressed his nervousness, he said: "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do the raps. In Shanghai, when I faced several thousand people, I actually didn't have any pressure at all, but now back in HK, after today I won't have anything else to worry about."

Want You To Say: "In fact you are wrong!"

Yesterday after performing Man in the Mirror and Cantonese song Reboot, he said that his album also includes a song written by Jay Chou called I Can Fly and this is the song that he is most satisfied with. In the song, it talks the period of his troubled experiences, confusion and when he did not know who he was. Reboot is about how he realized what his path is. The last song Salute is when he hasn't got back up yet, but he is certain of who he is, started getting healthy again and working. He wants to salute to both the people who supported and didn't support him in the last two years, he wants you to say: "In fact I am wrong!" He then asked reporters if they understood what he meant? Turns out that all along Edison didn't feel that he was wrong, but had to apologize to others.

"Edison A New Start"

Edison's new album will be holding an autograph session in Taiwan this Sunday (12/26). As his only Cantonese song in the album Reboot, apart of the lyrics goes like: "Upgrade, upgrade again, upgrade reboot the machine, Koon Hei (Edison) is booting again, is rising again, myself, not afraid yet, you look down on me, step on me, I crawl back up, haven't died....Koon Hei start yourself again."

Denise Ho's first of 4 shows HOCC HOMECOMING LIVE 2010 concert kicked off last night at Wan Chai House. The atmosphere was very lively as many entertainment circle friends went to support her including Liza Wang, Anthony Wong and Wyman Wong. Though Joey Yung wasn't seen at the concert, but Denise clearly started her concert the Joey way. Every show she will sing different songs. Besides singing, her own Cantonese and Mandarin songs, Denise also sang Taiwanese Pop Queen Jeannie Hsieh's electronic song Beep Beep Beep. For the holidays, Denise also sang several Christmas songs, afterwards she said: "Thinking about Christmas songs, reminds me of an idol." The fans then shouted: "Joey Yung", but Denise didn't hear it and revealed that the idol she was reminded of was Aaron Kwok.

Recently she suffered in pain from losing two cats. Near the end of the concert, Denise wanted to express her feelings: "In the last half year, I left HK for a moment and went to find a new start for myself. When there are down times, I would feel I am loved from my surroundings, gives me some strength to move on and know that I have lost somethings." At this point, Denise started have sobs in her voice: "Facing lost, what to do? Be unhappy? Grief? Or move forward? This is a class one must certainly have in life. I hope that my experiences can enter my songs, when one is unhappy strength can be given to them." After the show, Denise went on with an Encore and often anxiously looked at the time to avoid having to pay extra fees to the venue. Asked why Joey didn't come support her? She said: "I think she's not in HK."

When she thought about her cats that passed away on stage, Denise wanted to cry, she was helpless that she was so busy she didn't even have time to grief. She said: "The night before was difficult, when GUTGUT left, there was a lot of things that needed to be done. Had to calmly get through the period. Two days ago, I had a headache and neck pains, so I went to get acupuncture to get better for today."

Raymond modestly said that he was very lucky this time to win the award: "Coincidentally I had series with good public praises this year, many people watched and in fact the award is not a certainty in my acting." Jumped into the TV industry from film industry, Raymond frankly said for the time being he will only be focusing on shooting TV series, set a good foundation first. Soon, he will be shooting a pre-modern series, playing a half good half evil role.

Natalie felt that winning the award is a type of shock, and it is like receiving an 'A' on her personal report card on her TV acting career: "Getting good grades then should do even better later, there is no reason to stop and reward yourself just because of an award. So I won't take the initiative to ask for a pay increase." She is currently shooting a Qing dynasty series, and this is her first time playing a sour character. Natalie is grateful of TVB giving her so many opportunities to portray different roles: "This is also my first time shooting a Qing dynasty series, so I will go watch more costume dramas to learn from them and how they speak their lines."

Raymond said that it is most important to be happy with your job: "My goal is to enjoy the acting process, if I am not enjoying myself, then how can audience enjoy my acting?"

Her current wish is to own a home that is "already paid off".

Of course not, I have to clarify that the person who released the gossips is not Moses Chan, I am sure of this. I know who the person is in my heart. I will only do my best on my own part.
