As for her manager reacting poorly to the complaints, Charmaine felt that there is a misunderstanding, she said: "I will try my best to go handle this issue.

During the interview, a red vein was spotted on his neck, Raymond laughed and said it's just an allergy.

As for the good response, Charmaine happily said: "I know a lot of kids like to watch including my nephew. His mom told him to go to sleep and he started crying saying he wanted to watch."

Usually when I read the newspapers, I don't know if it's true. I hope he's doing well." Sharon expressed she sent SMS to Joel, but unfortunately he has not replied.

In Charmaine's new series My Sister of Eternal Flower, TVB received 2 complaints that Charmaine is not suitable to play a mentally challenged girl and she is just copying Roger Kwok's 'Ah Wong' from Life Made Simple. On discussion forums, some Netizens criticize TVB for insulting mentally challenged people because they feel the story is an exaggeration and this will cause unhappiness for mentally challenged people when they watch it. They also say that the 'female version Ah Wong' lacks a new concept, and criticizes Charmaine for copying. However, there are also fans supporting Charmaine, saying that she got the right yardstick for the role.

Regarding this, Charmaine said: "Everyone is just prejudiced by first impression, and there is nothing I can do. If you patiently watch on, you will realize the story develops differently. In fact, it's a good thing that there are discussions, the current ratings are not bad." Asked if she watched Roger Kwok play 'Ah Wong' before she started shooting Flower? Charmaine said: "When both of the 'Ah Wong' series were broadcasting, I had work and did not have time to watch. During filming of Flower, I initially wanted to borrow the series from TVB, but in the end I was afraid I'll end up copying Ah Wong, so I gave up. However, I did visit the mentally challenged schools to learn their words and actions, before I went to play Sister Fa."

Raymond Lam supports that the series is optimistic

Also, as for My Sister of Eternal Flower's lead actor Raymond Lam, his role discriminates mentally challenged people. In the series, he complains to Toby Leung, who plays Charmaine's younger sister: "If I touch your sister (Charmaine), I will have to use disinfectants to wash my hands, please tell your sister to stay at home and don't come out! Lock her up! She affects society, makes me have a hard time eating." Raymond accepted an interview over the phone and clarified: "The dialogue is very much in the gray zone. We handled it carefully, the series is to help the mentally challenged people. Although in the series Charmaine is mentally disabled, she is still able to assimilate into the society, and she is able to work in the office. It is not despising or looking down on them. When the story develops into the end, it will be very warm."

Hong Kong singer Edison Chen rocked the Chinese-speaking world with a sex scandal that involved a host of female celebrities, including singer Gillian Chung and A-list actress Cecilia Cheung in 2008.

Both Chung and Cheung’s careers had spiraled downhill as a result.

There were even rumours that Cheung’s marriage with actor Nicholas Tse was in ruins.

In a 2009 interview, Cheung also blasted Chen for “shedding crocodile tears” in public and let on that he had never personally apologized to any of the female stars involved in the scandal.

Cheung had since given birth to Quintus, her second son with Tse and is well on her way back to showbiz.

Former flame Chen had also had success in his business ventures and is currently focusing on expanding his fashion label.

Then the unexpected happened last week when the two took the same flight from Taiwan to Hong Kong.

Apparently, Cheung had requested if she could sit next to Chen when the pair met on the plane.

Chen even offered her the window seat.

Eyewitnesses said they were talking and laughing throughout the journey.

Cheung was even seen taking pictures with Chen with her phone and they were said to have exchanged contact numbers.

Cheung was in Taiwan that week to attend a wedding while Chen was there on the same day to promite his latest fashion collaboration with Taiwanese singer Jay Chou.

It was after their “accidental meet-up” that the media began to speculate if their meeting was pre-arranged.

So far, a rep from Chen’s recording company has confirmed her had met Cheung on the same flight and had interacted with each other.
