Since its broadcast, The Men of Justice has averaged five to six points in ratings. Although the series has helped ATV double its normal ratings performance, which is considered good results for the station. Many Internet users in online forums have praised the series for its courage and the professional manner in which the court scenes were written.

Incorporating several controversial cases, The Men of Justice focuses on the perpetual conflict between law enforcement and criminal activities. The series incorporates elements from current events that the audience is familiar with. It also includes a battle-of-wits little-known outside the court system, such as how to skillfully use legal procedures, and how to choose members of the jury for important cases. Interspersed between the development of the characters’ relationships are the legal cases, which include: a medical malpractice case; corruption within the police force; a witness failing to help a traffic accident victim, which ultimately led to the person’s death; the death of a wealthy tycoon and the subsequent dispute over his will.

This week’s highlight in The Men of Justice involves the romantic arc between Jo Koo Cho Lam and Lawrence Ng. After Jo’s secret crush turns into an obvious pursuit, Lawrence becomes embarrassed and does not know how to convey his reluctance in starting a new relationship.

Yesterday in [Singtao]'s exclusive report, it was discovered that 45 year old Sandra Ng is currently 2 months pregnant and turned down the new movie Love Island (熱愛島) directed by Kam Kwok Leung. Perhaps Director Kam was angered by her turning down the movie in such a short notice, but when male lead Simon Yam said Sandra is the female lead, Director Kam suddenly dragged Carina Lau into the water and said she's the first candidate for the female lead.

Yesterday Singtao's reporters contacted Director Kam to confirm the news of Sandra's turn down. He said: "I am not sure if Sandra really is pregnant? But as the director, my prospective candidate has been Carina Lau. Currently, just waiting for Carina's response. (Have you contacted Sandra Ng about the movie?) Every time we start a movie, we contact many different people. Just know, it's not because of the pregnancy that the movie is turned down. Saying it like this is not fair to Carina." Director Kam then suddenly said: "I don't know if this news is to get promotions? I know that All About Love (得閒炒飯) is currently playing in theaters. Hope the movie is received well!"

Then reporters called male lead Simon Yam asking about the female lead candidate. He said a little too fast: "Sandra Ng!" Clearly that is different from what Director Kam said. About Sandra being 2 months pregnant, Simon excitedly said: "Wah! If it's true, really have to congratulate Sandra!"

Good friends Margie Tsang and Kristal Tin expressed that Sandra did not mention her pregnancy when they met her. But if it's true, they are happy for her.

As for Sandra and her husband, both of their cell phones went to voicemail and have not responded.

Following Kevin Cheng's rumors with Niki Chow and Charmaine Sheh, another new romance with Mainland famous model Jenny Hsu is exposed. Yesterday a magazine photographed Jenny at Kevin's place and she did not leave the house for 72 hours. It was reported that Jenny is a Mainland model who was signed by Gigi Chiu to develop her career in Hong Kong. Later when her contract was up, she moved to another modeling company and met Moses Chan when they worked together. When Moses invited a large group of friends for a gathering, she met Kevin there and got along with him immediately. Eventually they started dating.

Yesterday after the report published, Kevin's mood was not affected by the new rumors. He even went to play tennis with good friend Ben Wong. The two appeared half-naked, revealing their nipples and uploaded the photo on Weibo.

When the media contacted him to confirm the rumors, Kevin expressed that this issue has nothing to do with Moses Chan nor did he meet Jenny through Moses. Also, he's currently just good friends with Jenny. Jenny did not stay over the night at his house nor is he living with her. His relationship with Jenny is not as complex as what the magazines think. As to why they were secretly looking out the window at his house, it was because they discovered the paparazzi following them.

After 10 years of marriage, former sex-bomb Irene Wan has given up on trying to conceive and decided to adopt instead.

The 44-year-old adopted baby Xavier in Jiangsu, China in July and she is currently in the midst of applying American citizenship for the baby.

When interviewed, Irene admitted that her decision to have a child came too late.

"I used to have a fear of pregnancy after seeing so many friends get married, have a child but ended up in divorce. And now that I've finally decided to have a kid, my age and body doesn't allow me to."

She revealed that the idea of adopting came to her when she saw two of her friends doing the same thing and they appeared very happy.

"I received the relevant information and photos in May. When I saw my baby in the photo, I liked him already and I felt an affinity between us."

Xavier was a sickly child when Irene first took him home, so the star got her first test of motherhood as she tried to nurse him back to health.

"At first he was coughing rather badly and it broke my heart to see that."

"But now he's doing well and even gained weight."

Irene revealed that she has also been planning baby Xavier's future.

"I hope he will study in Hong Kong until he is around 13 years old before we send him to the States.

"He is just learning how to talk because no one was around to teach him before. Although he is starting out late in learning, all I'm really asking of him is to grow up a healthy and strong boy."

Model Jacqueline Chong earlier admitted having boob job and double eye lid surgery. Yesterday it was her first time "showing" the result to everyone. Wearing a wedding dress, her cup-size obviously increased a lot. She exposed some friends touched her boobs and said they feel hard like health balls; she needs to message to make them turn normal. Reporters praised it's really spectacular, she said: "Of course, otherwise why would I do it? But it still swells a little, don't know the exact size, but should increased 2 cup-size. (Whether not used to it?) It feels heavier, waist would get tired easily."

She also disclosed after she had her boob job, many people put their attention on her boobs and even some people are interested in getting the same surgery: "Many friends called me telling me they want to do it, too, some people in the showbiz also called to ask how am I doing. (Who?) Won't say it lar, they're just concerning about me." Reporters joked whether boyfriend Deep Ng takes a look at her figure yet? She said: "No, but he told me to send him some photos. (Send boob photos?) No, because I said something about my eyes, he wants to see it. Actually he cares whether I'm in pain than the final product."

Talked about she once criticized 'lang mo' (pseudo models) earn money with their boobs, but now she went to have a boob job, Jacqueline said: "I'm not targeting girls with good bodies but those who focus only on their boobs. Now my figure is better, but won't just focus on my boobs." As for her new double eye lids, because she put on double eye lids tape before, so there isn't an obvious difference for her eyes.

Although debuted for many years, Raymond Lam who has all along been in Hong Kong finally came to Chengdu for the first time to attend the Chengdu news conference for The Jade and the Pearl. Even though fans were unable to enter the location of the news conference, a crowd of fans were waiting outside the venue holding lit "Fung" signs. Ah Sa who has visited Chengdu on numerous occasions expressed that she is willing to be Raymond's tour guide around Chengdu. Ah Sa revealed that being a "good eating partner," on the way to Chengdu, the two had already chatted on the plane and must go eat hotpot in the evening: "It really is very tasty, it's a completely different taste than in Hong Kong." Perhaps it's because of filming as lovers in <The Jade and the Pearl>, each time the two answer questions of this sort, there is complete tacit understanding. When asked by reporters whether Charlene had any particular view on love after filming this romantic comedy, Ah Sa replied: "Leave it to fate." Raymond immediately responded that his own view is the same: "Relationship matters, let nature take its course."

With Chinese Valentine's Day (Double-Seventh Day) coming up, acting as lovers in the movie, Charlene and Raymond naturally have to 'express' themselves. At yesterday's Beijing news conference, the scene of Charlene and Raymond eating strawberries led many to 'drop their glasses.' Today in Chengdu, Raymond came out with 999 red roses as a present to Ah Sa, wishing her a happy Chinese Valentine's Day. Faced with so many roses, Ah Sa both happy and worried commented: "I love roses the most, this is my first time being given so many roses. But there's one problem, how do I bring them all back to Hong Kong?"

When asked what role Ah Sa most wants to act, Ah Sa very honestly said: "All along I've been waiting for a chance to act in a miserable/bitter movie. Mentally ill, antagonist woman, those would be the best. But these past two years (aside from Storm Warriors and Triple Tap), I have only received comedy scripts." As for Mainland China directors before, Ah Sa says that she most wishes to work with Feng Xiao Gang and Zhang Yimou. Meanwhile, Raymond who gave himself a passing grade for his performance in The Jade and the Pearl commented: "Actually, I hope to have the opportunity to act in movies portraying characters I have not acted as with TVB."

Since the start of this year's Mr. Hong Kong until today, there has been countless amounts of gossips and complaints. Earlier a male organization filed complaints against the show saying that it is unfair to have an all female judge panel and that it is discriminating the male gender. Allowing the female judges to touch the male contestants gives an immoral message.

It was understood that TVB did not hope the complaints become a big problem, so TVB placed an order that the female judges cannot touch the male contestants during the wet swimwear part of the show. The number of times the contestants will walk over to the female judges is reduced significantly, instead more time will be spent on showing off thei heroic glory.

Female judges A. Lin and Jessica C. felt that its a pity the judges can't touch the contestants and have to keep their distance. Jessica C. said: "But what I really want to do is just touch my own boyfriend." A. Lin said: "Oh I'll just have to touch the one next to me."

As one of the MC, Koni Lui responded to the complaints and said: " Actually every year TVB tells the judges to control themselves on the touching. Well before Miss Hong Kong was accused of having little clothing on. (Why are they only inviting women?) In the process of improving."

Former Mr. Hong Kong Matthew Ko expressed at a public event he attended that he has noticed the gossips around Mr. HK this year. He said: "Since the first Mr. HK, it had always been an all-female panel of judges. It is the tradition. When I participated, I touched one of the judges Christine Ng and even gave her a kiss on the hand. After all, people are just in a contest, it won't be too overboard." He expressed that he won't be a guest performer, but is anxious for the 3D swimwear part and said that many of his friends is asking him for tickets.
