Forensic Heroes III was shooting outdoor scenes on the streets of Mongkok. The scene was a kiss between Ron Ng and Kate Tsui. Because they were shooting during the rush hour, where everyone is getting off work, many passerbyers stood and watched. Kate frankly said she felt embarrassed: "Actually Ron and I are already used to kissing and familiar. We've been a couple several times and kissed at least 3 times. However, before it was all in the studio, not like this time on the streets. So I felt embarrassed. (Always kissing, not afraid of having real feelings?) Few years back I might, but not now. (Have you done all your preparations before the scene?) I ate gum."

Kate kissed Bosco Wong and Kenneth Ma before, including Ron, Kate was asked who was the best to kiss? She said: "Don't ask me embarrassing questions, we are all friends. But I think Ron because we have the chemistry and we are very familiar. I treat him as a brother." As for Ron, he didn't have much feeling kissing Kate: "It's just work, it's okay. Because we had to kiss on the street and account for the TV limit, it's just a light kiss, not like a French wet kiss. (How did you prepare?) A few days before, I knew about this kiss scene, so won't eat garlic or other foods similar, don't want to have bad breath."

Fala Chen, Liu Xuan, Bosco Wong, Evergreen Mak, Dominic Lam and the rest of the cast to TVB new series Grace Under Fire held the promotional event in TVB City at Tseung Kwan O. Liu Xuan and Fala did a pose together on one foot and the athletic Liu Xuan had an itch to do a challenging pose, the splits.

Model Marie Zhuge was rumored to be tying the knot at the end of the year with Neway's second young master (Sit Ka Leun). As the "Aiya Sister-In-Law" Fala said that she found out through the news too, but did not feel surprised because she heard about it before. Asked if Fala is going to be her bridesmaid? She answered in a difficult tone: "Not answering. (Going to the wedding?) See the arrangements when the time comes." Marie once implied that Fala had already got her marriage registration done in Mainland, asked when she's planning to tie the knot? She was also unwilling to answer: "Not answering. (As what status will you be when you attend the wedding?) Not answering."

It was rumored that Liu Xuan and her boyfriend (Tao Wang) of 8 years are already engaged and are cohabiting. She generously admitted that he is her boyfriend, but are not engaged or cohabiting: "Of course there is consensus that we can be together for this long, but we are not at the marriage stage yet. Work is the most important, I have to set a good example for the other athletes." When speaking of the reports that Liu Xuan have not experienced the riches and honors like other athletes that married a rich man, she said: "Every person's happiness is different. Money can be used up, but the inner riches will not be used up. I am feeling great happiness."

Chapman To is passionate about photography, so he helped TVB take artists photos. Besides visiting his wife Kristal Tin, he also took on another job as the photographer's assistant. Yesterday morning at 8am, Chapman posted a topless photo of Raymond Lam in a strap with a 'FUNG' tattoo. This caught the attention of many Netizens, praising that Raymond "is so fine and Chok". The photo was forwarded 5000 times. However, Chapman later quickly deleted the photo.

Rarely appearing topless, Raymond gave it all he got for the TVB artist photo. His topless photo with a strap around his neck and hands, along with the FUNG tattoo got fans screaming madly. Someone said his belly is very cute. Wong Cho Lam also had a photo posted, but was deleted by Chapman as well. Wong Cho Lam was topless as well, but was covered in a black cloth and only revealed his right side a little. Chapman later felt that he shouldn't be exposing the TVB artist photos, so he deleted the two sexy photos, but didn't delete his wife's photo.
Chapman wrote on Weibo: "While TVB artists were doing the photo shoot, Tin artist (Kristal) husband visited her and became the photographer's assistant. Really grateful of everyone at the TVB studio, you all put in all the efforts into the work, and tolerated my interruptions. Your lighting, made everyone misunderstand that my photography skills are so much better!"

Yoyo Mung and Kristal Tin have been in the entertainment circle for many years, but TVB series Only You is their first collaboration. With no past collaboration, even before the series started shooting, the two were already as compatible as ever during the costume fitting. Their friendship went thousand miles in a day. When they started shooting, the two had a common goal of playing jokes on the cast and crew, bringing laughter and pleasure for everyone.

Earlier the two met up at a seafood shop to buy goods. Already married and someone's wife, Kristal was quite skillful in her selections. The currently in love Yoyo, on the other hand, was looking up and down, left and right when trying to distinguish the different fish maws. This made Kristal laugh out loud. Then the two picked out abalone together, an experienced Kristal said: "Before I started eating as a vegetarian, I can easily cook up dishes serving 10 people with absolutely no problem. Abalone, ginseng, wings, tripes, I can do it all. My husband Chapman To is also a very good cook, but we can't eat together because we'll have disagreement, so its either him or me that cooks, otherwise there will definitely be an argument."

Yoyo's cooking skills are in the progress of improvement, she expressed that she is fortune that she has many friends, besides passing on their cooking experiences to her, they would give her a super deal on buying high quality goods, definitely a huge profit for her.

"Owe Her In The Past Life"

When speaking of their friendship that just clicked like that, Kristal laughed: "Ah Yo (Yoyo) appears like a woman on the surface, but in fact she's very much like a man! On the set, it was really dry for everyone, so we tried to make it fun! Though this is my first time working with her, but oddly we don't even need a warm up, we were already like this even before we started shooting. I probably owe her something in my past life." Yoyo said: "It wasn't that severe when we were shooting, it was later that we got more familiar. Our whole group were always very noisy on a daily basis, very happy!"

Yesterday Niki Chow was dressed in a pre-modern costume to shoot for TVB new series My Cruel Lover. She frankly said that this role is a huge challenge to her, it is necessary for her to be tremendously focused on the performance. Although she's shooting the scene in the first episode, she's already needs to cry for the scene. Niki said: "My role owns a family soy sauce business, but because there are problems with the soy sauce, I decided to dump all of it." Before Niki had several opportunities to collaborate with Lee Tim Shing, but because her schedule clashed and contract issues, it never happened. For this reason, she really cherishes this collaboration. Niki said: "It has already been over 2 years since I've done a series, this time I can finally work with Tim Gor, I hope to do better in my performance, so I turned down several other jobs." She did not care how much money she may have lost from turning down those jobs because out of all the series she's been in, this is the series she has the most lines in.

Lately there are many artists leaving the 'nest', Niki was asked if she would take the advantage to sign with TVB? She said: "I am not very sure, didn't think about it. Before I started this series, I already contract issues, TVB treats me well, this time they really accommodated a lot for me, always pushing back the production progress. So I want to concentrate more on shooting the series first, right now a record label approached me, I am still considering. She expressed that many from the crew are already married and have children, and the daily topic to talk about is not leaving their babies. Niki laughed: "They made me really desperate to get marry and have kids too, but I do enjoy the dating process, can't just get marry and have kids right away."

Hong Kong popular star Raymond Lam and the media from all over the country gathered together for a special event for Luk Fook Jewelry’s "Love Forever - Eternal Love" collection in which Raymond is the spokesperson for.

At the event, 5 winners of the Creative Slogan contest were announced and received an invitation by Luk Fook to attend the award ceremony. The winners got to get close interaction with Raymond. Last year after the exposure of his sister's marriage, it was said that Raymond was rushed into marriage too by his family members. When reporters asked to confirm, Raymond frankly said he was not rushed nor arranged for any blind dates: "That was just what everyone guessed, perhaps because my sister is experiencing much happiness, I like to let nature take its course." As Luk Fook's spokesperson, will he give a girlfriend Luk Fook's jewelries? Raymond expressed that of course he will, last year during the holidays he gave his mom and sister jewelry: "Because rings are not to be given out to just any girl, I usually choose bracelets or necklaces for girls. Rings have a special place inside."

Unsure if Charmaine is leaving TVB or not

Recently most of TVB's news are consider big, TVB Fadan Charmaine Sheh may not renew her contract after it expires because there is a Mainland company that invited her over for 15 million under a 2 year contract. It was rumored that the reason Charmaine is thinking of leaving TVB is because she has a rich man's pursuit in Mainland. Towards the rumors, Raymond expressed that he is unsure: "I only heard of Charmaine's news through the HK media at the events I attended in HK earlier, the details I am not sure. But, last year when I was shooting Flower Sister Flower World with Charmaine, we agreed on collaborating on another series this year. Lately because I've been on a busy schedule, I haven't been in touch with her." As to the changes within TVB executives? "Executive changes do not affect us artists much. Take me for example, my work schedule has already lined up to the end of this year, including my concert tour, Mandarin album, HK Coliseum concert in July and a new film in August. It can be said that there is no affect on me at all."

TVB has it's own value, not about the salary

In 2011, TVB is experiencing many changes in artists, many are no longer contracted with TVB like Sammul Chan and Wong He. Now there is even Charmaine Sheh who may leave too, for many the reason is because of TVB's salary issues. In the last few years, several TVB artists are often going out to Mainland to dig the gold, which explains that the Mainland salary is very attractive to TVB artists, is it because of the salary issues that so many are leaving? Raymond felt that it cannot be viewed like that: "Maybe TVB's salary does not compare to Mainland salaries, but every company has it's own value. The reason we have so many outside jobs is all because of TVB series that brought us the audience fate. Without this foundation, there will not be the us today. TVB actually had always took good care of us, and didn't limit us on outside jobs in Mainland, giving us lots of space. I feel that every person has this same thought, at least I feel that it's not about the salary." Raymond said he has had good collaborations and good relationship TVB, therefore he does not plan to leave.

The night before, Bosco Wong recorded a new episode on JSG along with Jamb Lam, Rubberband and Shin Wong. During the time, it was exposed that he currently has three properties 'on hand', he smiled helplessly: "My 3 properties is from my difficult savings, but now the housing prices are too high, I still can't buy my dream house. (Your dream house is really big?) I like a unit that's a loft with a rooftop, together it's at least 2000 square feet. The estimated price for the loft and rooftop is roughly HK$10,000 per square foot. I need at least 20 million, I have too many clothes and shoes, won't have enough space for it all."

Bosco lived in a village house in the past, he feels that village houses although are similar to his dream house, but public safety is not too good. Mansions provide a higher level of privacy, no fear of secret photography. Reporters teased that he loves cars, property and red wine, the "3 high costs", so he must be a "3 high person" too, but Bosco ridiculed himself: "My 3 highs are high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high expenses, that's more like it!" He also took the opportunity to groan that he looked at his financial budget earlier and saw that the taxes raised for automobile's first time registration, and the car he just preordered is still unregistered, so for no reason he has to pay an extra 5 figures worth of taxes. He feels painful and unhappy.
