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."

Artiste Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) attended the fashion show as guest of honour and expressed that she rarely performed catwalk but had the interest though. When asked if she had any talent and interest in drawing, Charmaine said: "I am learning oil painting now and is it considered? I will design shoes if there is an opportunity as I love high heels and have few hundred pairs at home. (You have free time to learn many things despite a hectic schedule?) I try to make myself available. (Then you have no time for dating?) Also good, but I will stop drawing immediately if I am dating.".

Charmaine disclosed that she drew a painting of herself and mother as mother's day present, and said: "She takes a look at it and displays in the living room. (How many paintings so far?) Around 10 paintings. (Open an art exhibition?) So fast? I am learning 3D painting.".

In the past, Kate Tsui (徐子珊) had acted many policewoman roles and in the new series, The Ultimate Addiction (點金勝手), she is acting as cop again who wants to uncover the murderer behind her father's death, and tries to get close to Bosco Wong. In order to prevent repeated images, Kate spent some efforts on creating new image for this role, and added some daily activity scenes as well.

When mentioned about pretending to be a lesbian, kissed Nancy Wu (胡定欣) and Toby Leung (梁靖琪), Kate laughed and said that it could not be compare to the naked scene. She said: "I have to give all out in order to gain Nancy's trust and do not use any stand-in at all. The script does not contain much and is supposed to reveal shoulder initially. But after discussion with the director before filming of the scenes two days ago, he wanted me to reveal my back and I am shocked, as I do not film such scenes before.". Kate added that she did not keep her body fit due to lack of time and said: "I can only apply sand on my back and not sure how to cover it, as needs to see my shoulder and tummy. Nancy tries not to laugh when the camera is rolling but it is hard to control.".

As the crew team were male staff, Kate had to seek help from the costume department and said: "It is easy to remove the top and the difficulty is squatting down to retrieve the top and it is more challenging than the kiss scenes.".

Steven Ma attended an event on Father's day in Mei Foo Bus Terminus on Sunday. Asked what did he give his father as a present? He said he booked a private room and treated the family a southern cuisine to celebrate Father's day. As for presents, he would give him something to do with the old "buses" that his father used to drive and also throw in some of his CDs and albums as well as a big "red packet" in the hope that his father can live comfortably.

Steven disclosed that he has abstained from drinking alcohol for two months already. Although he was not a heavy drinker, he found himself drinking more and more, and his blood pressure has not been normal. If he continues to drink, he would shorten his life in no time. Therefore, nowadays, he will drink milkshakes instead of wine when he goes out with friends.

On a different note, Steven's album was launched last week, he revealed that many of his CDs in some shops are now sold out. The day before yesterday, he went to some CD shops, and found that someone stopped and stood in front of his poster, he was very touched. Steven's new MV "I want to get married" with Fala Chen is out today.

Charmaine Sheh doesn't want to have a baby yet

Janet Chow invested a 7 digit figure to open a shop selling baby products. Yesterday, the new shop officially had its grand opening. Other than the support of husband, Timmy Hung, and their son, TJ Hung, good friends, Charmaine Sheh, Toby Leung, also came to congratulate and support her. Angela Tong and Annie Man even brought their precious baby daughters to attend. Janet Chow hopes that she can gain a profit within a year. She stated: "In the future, when the business expands, I can hire more people, then I will have more time to take care of my son. Earlier, I was busy for a whole week preparing for the opening, so I didn't have time to play with my son. I discovered that his behaviour has gotten a bit worse, so I know I cannot neglect him." 

Charmaine Sheh's good friends have all started to become mothers; she admitted that she once had the impulse to have children. She said: "Afterwards, I realized my friends all don't have time to sleep because of taking care of their kids. I haven't really gotten to the point of being scared now, but for now, I don't want to have a baby yet." She laughed that if she becomes a mother in the future, her good friends can all be her teacher and give her advice. About Aimee Chan having to retired indefinitely because of being diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis because of taking care of her son, Charmaine expressed: "Leave it to Ah Mo (Moses Chan) to work, Aimee can rest and be a happy, blissful wife." 

Rumoured that Toby has fallen for her personal trainer? Toby denied: "My trainer is very handsome, but he is already married and has a kid. I won't stop going to the gym because of that. To be honest, I see my trainer more than my family. I work out and do boxing for 2 hours everyday." 

Michael Tse knows Karena Ng Chin Yu, but not Coffee Lam Chin Yu

TVB artiste, Coffee Lam Chin Yu was photographed staying in a toilet cubicle for half an hour with a man. Michael Tse expressed that he doesn't know her: "I only know Karena Ng Chin Yu! If this news is true, maybe young people these days like a moment of excitement, but affecting those using the washroom is not good. Next time find a better place." Timmy Hung commented: "The guy must have a home right? Maybe they fell and got hurt, or maybe they had a stomach ache and took turns going to the washroom." (LOL) Janet Chow knows Coffee Lam personally, but does not want to comment: "The first day after I was in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, my supervisor already taught us that we have to have strict conduct, especially when I am now a mother, I will be even more attentive." 

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.
