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)

TVB signals it may use courts in license battle
May 17 2012
Television Broadcasts (0511), which enjoys a quasi-monopoly over Hong Kong's free-to-air market, said it may take legal measures to prevent the government from issuing more licenses.
TVB made the announcement after its much weaker existing competitor, Asia Television, lost a similar legal bid last month to block new entrants.
TVB group general manager Mark Lee Po-on said more operators will threaten the sustainability of "some" stations.
"Advertising revenue for the two free-to-air television stations was about HK$3 billion in 1996. It was about the same in 2011, after 15 years," Lee said after the company's annual general meeting yesterday.
"Operators in such a narrow market will face even bigger difficulties if the government introduces competition, and some may even go broke."
Hong Kong's two pay-TV operators - PCCW (0008) and i-Cable Communications (1097), along with broadband provider City Telecom (HK) (1137) - are expected to win free-to-air TV licenses.
Lee said that some of these may use their existing broadband networks to deliver the new service, while TVB and ATV will rely on more conventional means.
But he insists licensing procedures are questionable.
"Why is it that a company with no track record of TV operations and resources can apply for a license? Does that mean there will be thousands of TV licenses in the future?" he asked, presumably referring to City Telecom.
Last month, City Telecom announced it will sell most of its telecom business for more than HK$5 billion to focus on the new TV venture.

Shu Qi no longer with Lee Hom?
May 17 2012
Shu Qi, who was rumoured to be dating Lee Hom, was spotted with a mysterious man, speculated to be the actress' new love interest, at Hong Kong's IFC Mall on May 1.
The 36-year-old was dressed casually, donning a pair of sunglasses, when seen shopping at IFC Mall with a middle-aged man. The actress was recognized by fellow shoppers but paid no attention and continued her date with the mysterious man before heading to a café when the pair was seen sharing stories over snacks.
Shu Qi appeared shocked when she realized that they were followed by the paparazzi. She then went separate ways with the man. The couple met up a while later again before heading to the actress' residence together.
The man is reportedly working in the finance sector and Shu Qi, who has always wanted to start a family, started seeing him after breaking up with Lee Hom whom she was rumoured to be secretly dating for the past six years.

Him Law has been said to be involved in a male artist sex photo scandal. According to the rumor, in 2003 when he was still working as a lifeguard, Him knew a man involved in sexual harassment and criminal intimidation cases (Lau Ting Sing). The report said Him heard Lau could help him get into the entertainment circle and even if he knew Lau likes men, he still didn't mind accompanying him everywhere. He also thought of him as a godfather. In between, he was even willing to shoot nude photos for his godfather and earn HK$60,000. Yesterday Him was back at TVB City to shoot a new series and stressed he does not know Lau nor has he ever done a nude photo shoot. He claimed back then when he was a lifeguard, he had a slim body, and it was impossible that Lau considered him. It is also impossible that he attended his dinner parties.
Him said: "It is not about the sexual orientation, it is I won't go to such dinner parties. As for me being a lifeguard before and how I entered the industry, I have mentioned it in several of my past interviews. It is public knowledge." As to the HK$60,000 reward for shooting nude photos? He expressed he definitely will not do such thing, and stressed over the last so many years he had only depended on his hard work ..... (article cut to save bandwidth)

On Monday at midnight, a 23 year old female artist was raped at a Tsim Sha Tsui recording studio, where celebrities frequently hang out. Because of the female victim's privacy, the only information available is a description of the victims' characteristics and her identity has not been made public. Everyone is now speculating on who this female artist may be.
Aside from the public targeting 23 year old female artists, 29 year old TVB actress Mandy Wong has been one of the suspects. In the past several days, Mandy has been busy shooting series, yesterday she said over a phone interview: "Of course it's not me!

Also, I don't know that person and I never been to the so-called recording studio." Mandy frankly expressed TVB has tried to get an understanding of the issue and there has also been many friends calling to ask if she's ok. Unfortunately she has been too busy with work and was unable to answer the calls. Her friends were extremely worried about her.
