TVB Entertainment News

In the last few days, a circulation of a TVB Weekly cover went around. The issue featured 44 TVB contracted artists taking hot 'naked' photos. Besides Roger Kwok, the others all revealed their completely 'naked' shoulders. Currently being said to be leaving the TVB nest, Charmaine Sheh, Joe Ma, Bowie Lam and the frozen Amigo Chui were excluded from the photo shoot.

All along it was rumored that Charmaine Sheh had contract issues with TVB, now that she's no where to be seen on the artist photos, her crisis with TVB reaches to another level. A Netizen jumped out and said: "The first thing I looked for was if there was Charmaine Sheh, but I didn't see her. Not even Bowie Lam."

TVB spent 7 figures on helping their Management Artistes take these complete new and hot photos. They invited professional designer SK to take photos of 150 artists. TVB executive Virgina Lok explained that because they didn't take any new photos last year, the old photos were used too many times, so TVB will help artists take new photos from time to time. This time designer SK only has 5 days free on his schedule, so TVB tried to accommodate this schedule by altering the artists schedules. Later, the second group of artists will be going for the photo shoot. Asked if the heavily promoted artists got to take the photos first? She said: "Not related, 150 artists, the number is rather high, so we had the artists who had time on the schedule to do the photo shoot first. Artists like Tavia Yeung, Kevin Cheng, Charmaine Sheh and Bowie Lam are not in Hong Kong, so they will be arranged to take them at a later time."

After the exposure of Raymond Lam's 'bed photos', there were reports that his good buddy Ron Ng also got 'played' by Mainland actress Viann Zhang. A photo that Viann uploaded on Weibo revealed the same cushion Ron has at his house. It turns out that Viann and Mavis Pan are actually very good friends, like sisters and the two brothers gets played together by them. Reporters contacted Ron and asked if he knew the two were good friends? He said: "Huh? I really didn't know! In fact Viann and I are not familiar, we just saw each other a few times. That time she was at my house with a group of friends." Viann's manager responded and said that Viann had only seen Mavis once, basically they do not keep in touch.

Raymond was asked if he had contacted Mavis? He said: "No! She SMS me, but I didn't respond to her!" He also does not believe the reports saying that Mavis married a foreigner named John in 2009 and had a son, nor does she know about his good friend Ron Ng's rumored girlfriend Viann is actually a good friend of hers! As if his ex-girlfriend comes to Hong Kong, will he be worried that she'll come find him? He expressed that he didn't think that far away and is more heartbroken than worried.

Right after the photo exposures, Mavis said in an interview that "my ex-boyfriend loved to take photos of me." Is she implying Raymond?

Raymond Lam has been replying reporters' questions related to his bed photos leak lately. Here he discloses the inside story of his relationship with former girlfriend Pan Shuang Shuang.

The only girlfriend Raymond ever admitted is Rain Li back in 2001. Now 10 years have passed, a set of photos taken on the bed when he was with his ex are leaked and he never imagined he would have to confirm who he dated this way. This is the biggest difficulty he ever faced in the showbiz. But he feels blessed from receiving support from others.

"I get upset every time reading related reports. But I feel blessed. Many friends, including colleagues who I'm not close with sent SMS to me, leaving me encouraging messages. I feel better when I got a message from my dad. Family is number one to me."

Raymond met Pan on the set of movie "The Emerald and the Pearl" last year. They finally got together sometime after they were done filming. But because of their busy work schedule plus personality difference, the relationship ended shortly in January this year. Although it was only a short one, but Raymond was actually serious about her, even brought her to see his parents.

"Although I didn't know what would happen between us, but I wanted to develop a good relationship. My parents' impression on her? It was okay in the beginning. But because I would be affected by my partner easily, when I was in relationship with her, I wasn't focused enough at work. Like after I worked the entire day, when we were on the phone, she might not be happy. If her attitudes or emotions are a little different, I would feel down, my mood would be affected. People around me know. My parents would say things about it. But it's my problem that I can't balance my relationship and work."

Although the relationship ended shortly, but Raymond expressed he won't mind dating people in the showbiz. He believes then they could understand and encourage each other. This incident won't leave a bad experience for him when it comes to dating.

"Things are different. I don't feel like I was used. Taking photos...I'm those who rarely take photos even with friends. But she loves taking photos, I don't mind, I just didn't know...She did send SMS to me after the report came out. But I don't want to talk about it."

He might be used this time, but Raymond still praises Pan a good girl.

"I didn't give her a card to buy things. Instead she bought many things for me. She kept buying things for me when she was out. She was very caring. I could hardly take time off to be with her. Many times we could hardly meet up. I have to make a decision, family and career, then love, how should I choose? What is missing? Maybe the right time."

Most people are accusing Pan for leaking these photos on purpose and using Raymond for fame. Pan herself once expressed the photos could be leak when she lost her phone in the hair salon. She has turned off her cellphone and keeps herself quiet these days. Her manager disclosed they are still investigating how the photos leaked, and they have a suspect in mind.

"Shuang Shaung and her assistant had some argument earlier. The assistant knows the password of Shuang Shuang's computer. We are still investigating. Shuang Shuang is very upset. She was supposed to film a movie in early April, but it looks like we would have to see. She doesn't want to speak out right now because we are being bombard."

Yesterday the Miss Hong Kong 2011 Overseas Recruitment held its press conference. Producer Ho Siu Wai said that this year they will be selecting 12 to 15 candidates. Initially Kate Tsui was one of the ambassadors, but earlier she had a small accident at work and got minor injuries, therefore she was absent at the event. Fortunately after visiting the doctor, her injuries are nothing serious, and last night she continued working.

Aimee Chan expressed that she hopes to nominate her god-sister to participate in the competition: "My god-sister is current in the U.S working as a designer, she has grown to be very beautiful. Her mom, my aunt is also very supportive." Asked of her greatest gain after her participation in the pageant? She laughed: "I found an acting profession, something I really enjoy, just like finding a husband. If I didn't participate in the pageant and entered the industry, I would be sitting in an office now as a designer. Life would not be as colorful as now."

Toby Chan will soon be giving up her Miss Hong Kong status, asked if she'll stay in the entertainment circle and develop there? She said: "Never thought of this. When I first came in contact with this industry, I felt that it's very fresh, and now I'm already adapted to it. If there is an opportunity, I will put in the effort into it." She did not clearly state if she wanted to be an artist or not, but she really does like the taste of being a host. Asked if she will continue her contract with TVB? She said: "Of course TVB has to give me the opportunity in order for it to work, and to see if my performance is suitable."

Chilam Cheung will be holding his two show Hong Kong Coliseum concert this Saturday and Sunday. This will be his very first HK Coliseum concert since he entered the industry, and invited Grasshopper and Aaron Kwok as his guests.

It was said that he wanted to boost the anticipation for the concert, so he secretly invited his old partner Maple Hui as his special guest. Yesteday Chilam was rehearsing for the concert and when asked if he invited Maple? He kept his mouth zipped: "I invited guests that will surprise everyone, some I have collaborated before, and I will not reveal who yet. (Will your wife Anita Yuen go on stage to sing?) She will come support, but definitely will not sing because she doesn't know how to sing." He said he'll be dancing and singing with good friend Aaron Kwok, but he is currently not in HK so there is not much time for them to rehearse together. He will just have to practice himself.

To be in the best state for his concert, Chilam went on a diet for two months, which he frankly said he had not done before. While he was rehearsing, he felt that his body was too weak and felt dizzy. Is he prepared to show his muscles? He said: "My concert costumes is all designed by William Chang. Some do show muscles, and are quite sexy." He said his wife saw that his diet on losing weight is working, so she followed him too.
