In the latest TVB costume series House of Harmony and Vengeance, Sire Ma and William Chak develop a relationship and have created lots of romantic sparks! In the series, Sire plays a dancer and has a crush on her image adviser William. "Because William and JJ [Jia] also have a relationship, and at the time my role thought he liked JJ's type of girls. So I always had to be like JJ, put on heavy makeup and wear sexy clothing. I created a lot of trouble!"

Sire also praised William's diligence in real life and that he knows how to look after the people around him. She said: "I remember we had a scene, where I had to jump into the hot spring. The hot spring had disinfectant added into it, so when I was immersed into the water, it made my throat feel uncomfortable and I felt like coughing. But because the scene was about me passing out, William knew to give me a little shake when he carried me out and that helped blur my appearance on camera, otherwise we would have had to retake the scene several times!"

William frankly expressed they are both under the same manager, so they know each other well in private. He also praised Sire is a good actress and she has an easy to get along personality. In the series, William plays ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Yesterday Linda Chung, Jason Chan, Oscar Leung, Lin Xiawei and Cilla Kung attended the costume fitting for TVB new series Ferris Wheel Happiness. When the 23 year old TVB female artist rape case was mentioned, Oscar expressed: "I feel the Heaven is helping me clarify the previous rumor that I was involved in a rape case." In regards to the earlier rumor that he was involved in another rape case of a female artist, he expressed its a story created out of nothing, but the rumor has affected him because after the report came out, the public misunderstood he violated the law. It was also rumored he paid a 'shut up fee' to escape the issue. In reality, if there is a case, the police will handle it and nobody can stop the news or privately settle it themselves. Oscar now feels relieved, but he doesn't know who the female artist victim is nor does he know the person. He hopes she'll win her justice back soon.

Linda Chung has also taken a photo with Lee Ming Ho (person accused of rape) before, she expressed she has taken photos with too many people before and does not have an impression on him. She will have to ask the other staff if she knows Lee Ming Ho. It turns out when she released her debut album, she went to his recording studio before and have also rehearsed for JSG there. However, she does not know Lee because she didn't have ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

As rumor says, Selena Li is pursued by many, that's not surprising. That is related to her appearance. Selena majored in accounting, perhaps she is well qualified in HK's Central, but the place she works at is called TVB City, who isn't beautiful there? That is related to attitude. Selena initially came from a wealthy family, but her father eventually went bankrupted. When she participated in Miss Hong Kong, she won Miss Photogenic, but in the end she didn't even make it in the top five. She opened a beauty makeup school, but gets involved in a pyamind scheme scandal. All of that was worth drinking to forget the trouble, chug down two glasses of whiskey and vomit all over the floor, is what local young girls are likely to do. Selena wipes off her sweat and said: "For anything, should look a bit further, then you will realize there's a lot of the so-called misfortune in life, but actually that is a gift. The misfortune allows you to be stronger when greater future challenges come before you." Such an optimistic and active person, it's rare in this world.

It's a pity that Selena is said to only like second generation wealthy guys or even wealthy first generations, making the oridinary people take a step back. "I had a boyfriend, named Patrick Tang. We were together for 5 years."

At age 6, Selena moved to Toronto with her mother. They lived in a ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

Kim Jun-su won't be defined by gender norms, he said at a press conference to promote his new album "Xia Tarantallegra" yesterday.

The entertainer, best known for being a part of K-pop trio JYJ, said that he was tired of being perceived as "cute" by the public, and that he will completely reverse his efforts to be perceived as masculine by dressing up as a woman.

"By nature I'm quiet and reserved. Until now, I've tried hard to be seen as masculine to do away with the cute image", Kim said at a hotel in Sogong-dong, central Seoul. "I know that to dress up as a girl will be controversial to say the least at first".

A desire to break away from his JYJ group identity and pursue a career as a solo performer partially motivated his desire to cross gender lines, Kim said.

In a photo to promote his new solo album "Xia Tarantallegra", he is pictured with ghost-white skin and nearly colorless hair.

"The concept of the new album is an androgynous wizard", the artist explained.
