On 24 June, Moses Chan (陳豪) tried out his costume for TVB new series Opera Rouge (水髮胭脂). It was rumored that Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) rejected this series criticizing it as a "plastic drama" (drama without content) and Aimee Chan refused to film Lord of Shanghai (梟雄) because of De Quervain's syndrome (媽媽手). As a result, Moses picked up the offer as a second choice for drama Opera Rouge for his wife. Moses denied the rumor: "Every role is an opportunity. Wayne accepted to film in Lord of Shanghai and coincidentally I was free. As an actor, I have to work when I can."

Baby is 6 months old, weighs more than 20 pounds

Moses disclosed that Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) still had to do physical therapy: "Doctor said this is an initial reaction for mothers. I'm having problems the more I carry the baby. Now, I watch my hands when I carry him. The baby is 6 months old and he's already over 20 pounds, he is more of the chubby kind." Asked if Aimee needs one year to make a comeback, Moses said: "No, let's wait for her to reply to everyone's question. I absolutely support her in filming."

Joyce Koi (蓋鳴暉) wished that next time she can collaborate with Wayne Lai and also helped out in denying the "plastic drama" rumor: "Opera Rouge is relaxing and similar to the situational drama type, it is not a boring drama."

Moses and Aimee Chan’s Son’s Face Revealed

When Moses Chan and Aimee Chan’s son, Aiden Joshua Chan, was born in December 2013, the couple shared only a photo of Aiden’s small hands holding Aimee’s finger. Since then, the TVB artistes have kept their distance from the media to shield their son from the public’s spotlight. Aiden’s face remained as a mystery for many months. Aimee, who originally planned to film a new TVB drama in the latter half of the year, decided to prolong her hiatus so she can take care of Aiden for the rest of the year. Allegedly, Aimee plans to breastfeed Aiden for an entire year, thus she had no choice but to indefinitely postpone her TVB comeback.

Aimee’s delay to return to work may have upset TVB. To make up for the loss, Moses has reportedly agreed to film the new comedy drama Opera Rouge, replacing Wayne Lai. The romantic comedy also stars Joyce Koi. Despite the couple’s secrecy, the Hong Kong paparazzi finally managed to snap a photo of their seventh-month-old son earlier this month. On June 10, while getting off of their seven-passenger minivan to have lunch with their friends, stealthy reporters quickly took a photo of Aiden, who was tucked in Aimee’s arms. The chubby baby shares Aimee’s eyes and Moses’ nose. Moses dotes on little Aiden, and would occasionally rub his bald head every few minutes.

Aimee had on a cast on her left wrist, and it is assumed that she has De Quervain syndrome, also known as “mother’s wrist.” According to reports, the couple’s minivan was purchased with the sole purpose of shielding Aiden from persistent photographers. Normally, the couple would use other transportation means when leaving their home. Moses and Aimee also seem to know the paparazzi’s stalking schedules, as whenever they leave their home with Aiden, they would choose the earliest hours of the day to evade reporters.

Currently suffering numbness in her hand, Charmaine Sheh attended a New Year's Eve Countdown event with Moses Chan, Ron Ng and Koni Lui. Charmaine disclosed she is about 70% recovered now and aside from all the other jobs she previously accepted, she has basically stopped working. She said: "I really hope to fully recover before I start my new series in January, which will have some action scenes. (Use a stunts double?) Can't use a stunts double that much, artists should try to do the scenes themselves as much as possible. I will try my best." 

Currently still single, does Charmaine hope to find her Mr. Right in the new year? Such as Ron Ng, who is also at the event? Charmaine laughed: "Never crossed my mind! He's a brother!" 

Ron hoped to try new things in this new year, he said: "I hope to give stage plays and comedies a try." Charmaine mentioned they're impossible, Ron said: "She really knows how to care for the people around her." Does Ron mind girls being too proactive? Ron laughed loudly: "Haha, I don't mind. When fate comes, can't block it." 

Aimee Still Bleeding After Birth, Admitted to Hospital 

Moses and Aimee Chan's son Aiden Chan was born on December 4th, but 20 days later on Christmas Eve, Aimee was still bleeding, thus she was admitted to the hospital again for treatment. That day Aimee went through a natural delivery, the doctor checked her and discovered the reason Aimee is still bleeding is because there was a burst in her vagina and therefore caused inflammation. She will have to undergo surgery and be hospitalized for three days for the wound to heal. Yesterday at the event, Moses admitted his wife did indeed have to go undergo surgery, "she was hospitalized, but it was just a normal check up. Its not that serious, no worries."

Moses and Aimee Chan's "Little Treasure" is Born 

Earlier in the year Moses and Aimee Chan announced they were expecting a 'Christmas Baby' boy, but yesterday it was widely rumored Aimee already gave birth.

Also, there is double happiness in the entertainment circle. Neway Second Prince's wife Margie Zhuge announced she had a 6 pound baby boy.

Moses Chan Gets New Home Ready to Welcome Pregnant Aimee Back

Yesterday Moses Chan attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Chow Tai Fook's new store opening ceremony. Moses was presented with a 1117 number affiliation to commemorate November 17, 2007, the day he became TV King, but Moses forgot about that important moment. He was also given a golden baby bracelet. Since Moses married Aimee Chan, they have been separated in two locations -- Aimee is in Canada for her pregnancy, while Moses is back in HK working. As for the gender of the baby, Moses announced Aimee is returning to HK soon, he said: "Relax! You won't miss out."

However, Moses is currently busy working on a new film, so he will not be able to make a personal trip to Canada to bring his wife back, instead a relative will be traveling back with her and he will definitely pick her up at the airport. Asked of the baby's gender? Moses kept it a secret: "I cannot tell you yet, later! I can tell you all that we have already chosen the baby's English name, and our parents are responsible for the Chinese name." Because pregnant women cannot come into close contact with animals, but Aimee still took a picture with her dog. Moses said: "She knows, she won't be around him all the time. She will keep her distance. There are some things pregnany women must do. (Renovations done at the new home?) Still a lot to do, but its about done. I'm very excited for many things, there were just too many happy events this year, one wave after another. I'm almost done shooting my new film, so I'll have time to accompany my wife because she's about to enter the most difficult trimester. She gets tired easily. (Will you give her massages when she gets leg cramps?) Of course! I need to learn how take care of the newborn and my wife."

Its been a while since Moses been in a film, it was said there was a major increase in his salary this time around. Moses smiled and denied. He frankly expressed he's not paid 10 times more, like how its rumored in the public. Moses had a shiny 4 karat diamond ring on his ring finger, he laughed and said he hopes Chow Tai Fook will give him one too. Asked if he'll consider buying his wife a few more diamonds since he's earning a lot more now? Moses' eyes grew big as he shouted: "Wah! Then I'll have to get lots of discounts in order to do so!"

Moses Chan Will Reveal if Baby is Boy or Girl After Mid-Autumn Festival 

Yesterday Mosess Chan and Eliza Sam (Heung Heung) attended a German watchmaker Glashutte's event held on "The Bounty", an ancient ship, at the Tsim Sha Tsui harbour. The sexily dressed Heung Heung had high heels on, but had trouble maintaining her balance, the MC had to give her a hand to avoid embarrassing herself. 

Moses hopes to buy a watch that he could pass down generations after generations. Asked if he wanted to buy a male or female watch? He said: "I will tell you later. Let's wait until Aimee comes back to HK before we announce. She'll probably be back after Mid-Autumn Festival." There is still another half of a year left before Moses' TVB contract expires, he is currently discussing the contract renewal with the company now. "I have to plan for the future and have careful planning because I must put my family first, but still have to work hard on my jobs as well. I'll have a chat with each company. (Are their other TV stations approaching you?) I have other business to discuss." Asked if he'll copy Raymond Lam, start his own company and leave TVB? Moses believed its better to let others handle his jobs. 

Heung Heung had rumors with "big boy" Alan Wan, she said: "We are just friends. We both came back from overseas. He isn't pursing me. Last time after the event was done, we both had to go back to TVB, so we had lunch." As for her appearance in a tight tank top on TVB series Sniper Standoff had caught a lot of attention, Heung Heung said: "I had to convey the struggles I go through as a female working in a male dominated profession. I understand you all want to use this to make topics, but I hope everyone does not put our hard efforts and training to waste."

Charmaine Sheh Return to TVB, TV Queens Myolie & Tavia Steps Aside 

TVB and TVBC (Shanghai Media Group) had a joint "TVB Clan Television Series Press Conference" at the 2013 China International Film & TV Programs Exhibition held in Beijing. TVB's Assistant General Manager Peter Au and other executives led 20+ artistes including many Siu Sang and FaDans -- Charmaine Sheh, Myolie Wu, Tavia Yeung, Wayne Lai, Moses Chan, Bosco Wong, Ron Ng, Kenneth Ma, Ruco Chan and other artists like Eddie Cheung, Him Law, Kathy Chow and Eliza Sam to promote 17 of TVB's new and upcoming series such as The Hippocratic Crush II, Triumph in the Skies II, Will Power, Mr. & Mrs. Bean, No Reserve, M Club and My Prime Lady. 

It was widely rumored that Charmaine signed a 50 million RMB TVBC contract, making her part of the family again. Charmaine expressed: "The media exaggerated the dollar amount. I've been on break for 6 months, and now that I'm signing another contract, I don't want it to be a long one. TVB agreed to sign a 2 year contract with me, TVBC invests in Mainland productions as well, so I believe its better for my future development to be in both Mainland and HK. I will be shooting a TVB series in January." 

During the big group picture, it was clear Charmaine still possessed the "TVB First Sister" title as she stood in the middle with Wayne Lai, even TV Queens Myolie and Tavia had to step aside. Last year hot favorite TV Queen candidate Kate Tsui stood in the second row, but she was fortunate to have her sexy low-cut dress to help her win the limelight back. 

Former couple Myolie and Bosco had zero interaction, even if Myolie walked passed Bosco, he did not react at all. Asked if Bosco will date someone in the industry again? He said just leave it to fate. Reporters said he appeared awkward seeing Myolie again? He denied: "I occasionally show my concern to her and read some of her news online. I still keep in touch with her in private as well." Kate was asked since she frequently collaborates with Bosco, does she hope to be the new on-screen couple with him? Kate said: "Just a coincidence! But, we have collaborated in 5 series already. Bosco and I are impossible, he's like a sister to me."

(Afraid Aimee's going to be jealous?) No, just playing, promotion." When speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, Aimee was happy to be able to spend the holiday with Ah Mo. Asked how they'll be celebrating the night together? Aimee laughed and covered her mouth: "I'm not telling you!"

Charmaine Sheh a 'rich lady', does not dare to admit good at investments 

Yesterday Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, Wayne Lai, Linda Chung, Raymond Wong and Leila Tong attended The Next Magazine's Healthy Star Awards 2012. In a recent interview, Charmaine talked about her investment on homes and getting rich off of RMB (Chinese currency), making her a 'young rich lady' in the industry. Yesterday she modestly said: "I didn't make that much, otherwise I wouldn't have to work. I'm still working hard and really like acting. Actually, I'm not considered that good in investment, still learning and discussing with the consultant at the bank." When asked whether she'll retire if she makes a profit on another house? She said: "Didn't think about that. I currently just have one home because I'm always flying around. I don't dare to buy stocks, I can't keep up with the stock market's ups and downs. When I'm working, I won't be able to answer the broker's calls, so my only long-term investment is to buy homes, that is the most stable." 

Charmaine thinks the current Chief Executive CY Leung's (Leung Chun Ying) policy is "average for now", the housing prices haven't gone down, "Actually I feel a little contradictory. When the market is doing well, the housing prices won't go down, but then I don't want the Hong Kong market to be bad. I just want the government to implement some policies to crackdown on the property speculation, to help us investors." 

Yesterday Charmaine went to cast her vote because this year she really wants to express her strong opinions. When asked if she voted against the National's Education system? Charmaine said: "I think National's Education needs to be publicly announced to the teachers and students before we discuss over it. The government should also accept the citizens' views. This is a society of democracy, there should be this right. We should all just sit down and talk it over." 

TVB new series The Last Steep of Ascent is airing soon, but lead actress Maggie Cheung has already left the company, Moses Chan expressed he's not worried he'll have to take up the heavy responsibility of promoting the series himself. He also does not mind if the attention is focused on him and his girlfriend Aimee Chan. "We have a different relationship line in the series, so there is no need to confuse our personal life with work." 

Wayne Lai defends Sheren Tang 

It was rumored TVB plans to start shooting Rosy Business 3 (RB3), Wayne Lai continues to be the male lead, but because Sheren Tang was demanding for too much, she was kicked out by TVB executives. She gets replaced by Myolie Wu as the female lead. Later, Sheren denied the rumor on Weibo. Yesterday Wayne strongly supported his good partner Sheren: "There are a lot of speculations on the internet, some people said Sheren won't be shooting RB3 and that someone else is going to shoot it instead. Some people no longer want the series to be called RB3. Actually whether if its going to be filmed, its not significant if there's Sheren or not and it is not necessary to care whether the series title is RB3 or not. What's most important is there will still be drama. Some people say Sheren was demanding too much on the contract, but I think its pointless to try and hurt her, it's very unfair to her. If she doesn't shoot the series, there could be thousands of reasons, and TVB may even drop me as well and still use the RB3 title." 

Wayne expressed earlier Netizens redo the Forensic Heroes III pairings, he said: "I hope everyone stops talking about this. Sheren and I are good partners. If I shoot the series, and she doesn't, but make awkwardness for us, that wouldn't be good." He expressed many times the series titles are tentative, it's not a big deal if the name RB3 isn't used. He hopes people could just stop and leave Sheren alone.

Moses Chan's coffee dreams never dies

Yesterday afternoon, Moses Chan appeared in Causeway Bay to attend a coffee function. A few years ago, he opened a coffee shop in Malaysia, but unfortunately it went out of business. As a loyal fan of coffee, Moses is fearless as his dream will not die, he said: "Last time, I loss money, but I just think of that as gaining experience. If I open another coffee shop, it should be in Hong Kong because its convenient for me to manage." Recently there has been a secret photographer in TVB, which has worried many artists. Moses said: "I'm a little worried, but I'm an artist that has nothing to hide, so there is no fear of getting photographed. What I fear most is confidential material may get leaked. There are a lot of things internally that cannot be reveal to the public. If the secret photographer gets a hold of it and leaks its out to the public, then that's unfair to TVB." Moses frankly expressed security at TVB is very good, so he believes this incident is just one exception.

Ada Choi & Moses Chan part of the set for a HK$120 Tourist fee to take pictures

Ada Choi and Moses Chan are currently shooting in Hengdian for TVB new series Beauty at War. As there is a fee of 100RMB (HK$120) to tour the Hengdian World Studios and see the stars, nearly 50 tourists rushed in to see the artists filming from afar. However, the tourists eventually broke past the restricted line set by the crew and went up towards Ada and Moses for pictures. When Ada was busy being interviewed by the media, she pitifully became part of the set for tourists to take pictures and couldn’t make a sound.

Ada admitted after the hot broadcast of Empresses in the Palace (後宮甄嬛傳) in Mainland, she got a pay raise. Back then she was still carrying her, at the time, unborn daughter when shooting that drama. Ada laughed that her daughter Chor Yee brings good luck and since Chor Yee's still young, she's taking her everywhere she goes because she's afraid she won't have the chance once she starts school. Ada exposed her beloved daughter is very sticky, like a koala, she laughed: "Moses said there's a great possibly my daughter's going to be a martial artist or athlete when she grows up." When speaking of Mainland artists being too expensive? Ada said: "A price like that indicates the artist is very laborious. If there's a good script, then artists won't mind if there's a pay reduction."

Mainland Endorser sues Ada

Also it was said Ada and her endorsement company went to court in Mainland. Ada's manager expressed the hearing is still in the process: "Ada is not looking for compensation, but rather justice. Earlier we found on Weibo that the advertisement was still up after the contract expired. We already sent multiple warning letters to the company, but they didn't care and even sued Ada back for breaching the contract during her pregnancy. The contract did not say there would be a penalty if she's pregnant nor did it say Ada had to give a month advanced notice when she attend events. The boss of that company basically have no evidence to backup their claims."
