TVB Entertainment News

Since Raymond Lam and Karena Ng publicized their relationship, they have been known as a loving couple. Although there were marriage rumors on several occasions, it is still the peak of Raymond's career and the rumors are just no other than entertainment news. A magazine recently reported Karena failed in trying to "force" Raymond into marriage and ultimately damaged her dignity, she then started taking revenge on her boyfriend. Aside from "blackmailing" him to buy her a 8 million HKD home, she also borrows Pakho Chau to upset Raymond and deliberately insisted to have a male massage her. Apparently Raymond got so upset, he was "painfully crying".

Yesterday Raymond and Karena denounced the magazine report in a joint statement. The magazine has severely damaged their reputation. They declared if there are any damages or losses on them, they reserved the right to take legal action against the magazine. They stressed at this point in time, they each value their individual careers the most, it is their priority and there has not been any talks about marriage. All rumors relating to "forcing marriage" and "cheating marriage" are absolutely nonsense. In regards to Raymond "crying severely" and "complaining tearfully" due to Karena taking "revenge" on him,
that is absolutely absurd and ridiculous.

It was said Raymond has spent over ten million on Karena since they started dating. They also clarified they are financially independent. None of those reports of Raymond buying Karena homes, cars and giving her credit cards are true. Raymond and Karena stressed in the statement that none of the false rumors and gossips have caused a negative impact on their relationship at all. Actually they provide encouragement mutually; they're learning and respecting one another. The couple hopes the media will send them blessings and give them some space to develop.

Rumour has it that TVB China, which is the joint company of TVB, Shanghai Media Group (SMG) and China Media Capital (CMC), has recently offered former TVB resident artiste, Charmaine Sheh a contract.

Joy reported that the actress, who has been offered a lucrative deal by Huayi Brothers, was approached by representatives of TVBC recently to negotiate her price.

Sources claimed that since Charmaine has had a good working relationship with TVB executive, Virginia Lok, the latter also took part in negotiating with the 38-year-old actress.

Among some of the offers made in the RMB 50 million (app. USD 8.1 mil) contract for Charmaine include a period of collaboration of only three years, as well as an opportunity to work with actor Tony Leung Ka-fai.

When asked about the two offers, Charmaine said, "Since my old contract expired in March, I've been thinking about my next move. Both Huayi Brothers and TVBC have offered great conditions but my main worry is the length of the contract. I'm getting old now. I don't want to give myself so much pressure! But my main goal is still to make a name in mainland China."

She also denied reports that Huayi supposedly offered her a lucrative deal of RMB 80 million, saying, "The amount was exaggerated!"

Fala Chen recently denied that she is negotiating to join TVB's rival station, HKTV as it was previously rumoured that several TVB stars, including Sheren Tang, Michael Miu, Michael Tse, and Fala herself have been offered a place in HKTV.

However, as reported on Wenweipo, at a press conference with Gordon Lam, the actress revealed that she had not received any offer from Ricky Wong, HKTV CEO.

However, Fala admitted that she was indeed approached by several other companies that wanted to sign her on, as well as several script offers due to the success of "Triumph In The Skies II".

"I have not made up my mind yet," stated the actress. "After over a decade in the television industry, I want to try my hand in movies. Money is not an issue. I just want the opportunity to develop."

Meanwhile, Fala refused to elaborate more on her breakup with Neway heir, Daniel Sit, and only said that they are still in contact with each other.

First it was Jack Hui, and then she was romantically linked to Benjamin Yuen. Now rumour has it that Patrick Tang's ex-girlfriend, Katy Kung, has actually been dating "Lan Kwai Fong" actor Sammy Shum in secret.

As reported on Apple Daily, the actress, who once denied romance with the actor, was recently spotted meeting him at a mall near Tsung Kwan O Plaza after successfully avoiding each other at an event half an hour earlier.

Katy and Sammy were seen holding hands and pushing a shopping cart together at the parking lot. However, upon spotting the presence of paparazzi, both stars quickly separated and tried to avoid the cameras.

Sources claimed that Sammy and Katy have been seeing each other for quite a while since her breakup with Patrick in December last year.

Following Michael Miu's withdrawal from the upcoming TVB drama, "Midas", rumour has it that the actor is planning to begin a career in TVB's rival station HKTV.

Apple Daily reported that despite citing clashing scheduled as the reason for his withdrawal, in actuality, the actor has received an offer from HKTV's CEO, Ricky Wong to star in a drama series with Maggie Cheung Ho-yee.

An insider alleged, "Michael made his return in 2004 because he loves filming dramas. Although he started off as lead star, eventually he was downgraded to playing second fiddle. He was not happy about it."

The report seemed to support an earlier interview Michael did with the media, saying, "I've been in this industry for so many years and have portrayed many different types of characters. Essentially, I filmed one drama for TVB each year. Although they have thought about what kind of character I should play, it is quite hard for me, as I have been offered a lot of similar roles, like a policeman. What else is out there for me?"

It was also alleged that after seeing his good friend Felix Wong join HKTV, Michael felt that it was easier for him to make the move.

Meanwhile, several other actors said to have been offered a place in HKTV include "Sergeant Tabloid" star Michael Tse, "Beauty At War" actress Sheren Tang, and Fala Chen, whose latest series "Triumph In The Skies II", is still airing at the moment.

"Triumph In The Skies II" star, Nancy Wu, recently laughed off rumours of her hostile treatment towards her good friend Myolie Wu's ex-boyfriend, Bosco Wong, Xinhuanet reported.

At the set of their upcoming series, "Mr. & Mrs. Bean", Nancy commented on the photographic evidence taken at the filming location, Nancy expressed, "The report is too funny. They took pictures taken on two separate days and said it was from one day."

She continued, "It's all in the past, so don't keep on pestering about this thing in front of Myolie. Bosco and I are fine. We had a great time filming together."

Nancy also revealed that she will be playing Bosco's wife in the economic series, "Midas".

When asked if Myolie has been avoiding her former boyfriend of eight years, Nancy replied. "Of course not. She's not that type of person. That is totally unrelated."
