Ruco Chan suggests stripping to celebrate high ratings 

Ruco Chan, Natalie Tong, Louis Yuen, Q Bobo and the rest of the cast of TVB new series No Good Either Way gathered to enjoy the series premiere. Aside from singing the theme song, in the series Ruco, Louis and Q Bobo goes on a topless run on the streets. When asked how they'll celebrate if there are high ratings? Ruco said: "I have a topless scene in the series, and we're always stripping, just like The Full Monty, doing a reality show. Louis lost 10 pounds for the series, and is very fit, but Q Bobo will first have shave off his hair." It was rumored Ruco and Alice Chan already had a grudge back when they were still with ATV, and are still on bad-terms after joining TVB? Ruco denied: "As soon as the series came out, there are news. We are not on bad-terms at all." He expressed he and Alice collaborated before in ATV: "Earlier she wasn't in HK after she got married, so we rarely see each other or talk. In the past, we were always on the phone, and now I see her more at the company. I just laughed off the rumor." 

The other night, Natalie fell ill and lost her voice. Currently shooting new series Detective Columbo, she will have to first just shoot the lighter scenes to avoid affecting her recovery. She is actively looking for a treatment: "I've been sick for several weeks and not recovering. This time, my role is always crying, screaming and getting beat. It is the most difficult role that I've done so far. I don't want to hold everyone up. I plan to ask Tavia Yeung for advice on how to treat voice lost." She frankly expressed she has been too into character and is feeling down. "I feel really down after reading the script and just feel unhappy. When I'm at work, I can't speak and have a black face. My family is frightened." 

It was exposed that when Natalie was shooting her mad crying scenes, she had the same 'long snot' coming out as Stephen Chow in King of Comedy ('Long Snot' Photo Here). Natalie said awkwardly: "So ugly! No one told me about the snot. If I knew earlier, I would definitely ask to shoot the scene again. I'm afraid when the series airs, people will just pay attention to the snot and think it's a comedy."

Charmaine Sheh indirectly bashes Myolie Wu: I can buy a 10 million home just by shooting 1 Mainland drama 

Yesterday China, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists gathered at the star-studded The 18th Shanghai Television Festival (STVF) opening ceremony. Rumored couple Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng were present along with Ada Choi, Christine Ng and TVB Siu Sang & FaDans Bosco Wong, Myolie Wu and Moses Chan. Ada recently got her pay raised to 20K RMB per episode for her participation in Zhenhuan Zhuan (甄嬛傳) and is the top paid among the HK actresses. Charmaine isn't weak either, as she disclosed her pay is comparable. She also indirectly bashes Myolie Wu, who recently purchased a HK$10 million luxury home after shooting just two Mainland dramas. Charmaine said: "I just have to shoot one drama and I can buy it!" As for Kevin Cheng, who has pocketed 30 million RMB just within 6 months of working in Mainland, Virgina reveals he plans to buy 3 Shatins. 

Ada Choi's popularity in Mainland rapidly rises 

After Zhenhuan Zhuan (甄嬛傳), Ada's popularity in Mainland rapidly rises, and it was rumored her salary went up to 20K RMB per episode, 15K more than Charmaine. However, Charmaine is recently shooting Marry Into Wealthy Family (嫁入豪門), it was also said her pay surpasses 20K? She smiled and did not deny: "That's good." Then she adds: "I don't know what others are making, it's just too tiring to make comparisons. As for my salary has always been changing. It's best that we are make money, salaries are business secrets." When speaking of Myolie recently buying a HK$10 million luxury home just after shooting two Mainland dramas? How many does Charmaine have to shoot to buy one herself? Charmaine boasted: "Just one! But of course I have to see if it fits my goals. I want to buy a home too, but the current housing prices aren't worth it." 

Myolie Wu buys HK$10 million dream home 

Couple Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong attended STVF together, and jointly expressed they haven't really seen each other because of their busy work schedules. Since last year until now, Myolie has already done 4 Mainland dramas, and was described by Virgina Lok that she's currently the highest paid TVB actress? Myolie said: "If I get paid any higher, then no one would want me. I am currently very pleased with my salary. In fact, each series pays differently. If the crew and co-stars are people I want to collaborate with, then a flat rate is all worth it." Is she paid 20K RMB per episode? She laughed: "I don't dare to comment too much on the money, but I'm very happy. Two Mainland series, and I can already buy my HK$10 million ideal luxury home. Now I can live closer to my family." Is Myolie planning to cohabit with Bosco? She stressed she lives with her 8 cats and sister. Bosco denied he's buying a diamond ring to propose to Myolie because his career is still the priority now. 

Charmaine and Kevin were both at STVF promoting for their latest Mainland dramas Marry Into Wealthy Family (嫁入豪門) and Love And Passion (萬水千山風雨情) respectively. Because they appeared at different times, the rumored couple never got to meet. Charmaine said: "This is such a big event, I haven't seen him around, but it's so rare I saw Bobby (Au-Yeung), I have more fate with him!" She expressed her current love life is completely empty, asked if she has any pursuers? She laughed and said she must say yes. Has she thought of marrying into a wealthy family? She said: "I don't mind whether if I marry into wealthy family or not, the most important is happiness." It was rumored she's going to guest star in Beauty at War? Charmaine said: "TVB hasn't approached me. I wasn't able to participate earlier due to the schedule conflicts, such a pity. I bumped into Jonathan Chik in Hengdian, and we had dinner together." 

Virgina Lok: Kevin plans to buy 3 Shatins 

It was said Kevin Cheng's salary in Mainland is 25K per episode, when asked about Bosco Wong exposing his salary is close to 20K? Kevin heard the question wrong and said: "He gets 20K too? I don't know how much he earns, but if he really does get 20K, then he should treat me." In regards to Virgina Lok exposing: "Kevin's current goal is to buy 3 Shatins." Kevin jokingly complained: "Boss, it's a dream. I hope to give one to my mother, my future children and one to rent out. This way, my future children can have a place to live, I'm still working on it." 

Reporters mentioned Charmaine also was at STVF, have they met? Kevin: "We'll chat if we meet, but not a dinner. Too many paparazzi here. I'm not afraid of rumors, just want to avoid unnecessary news." He is shooting long-term in Mainland, asked if he'll find a Mainland girlfriend? He continued his 'theory': "In 'dreams' yes, but 'dreams' could be anything!" 

Ada, Moses, Kenny Wong and Christine Ng appeared at STVF to promote for TVB series Beauty at War. The crew is currently shooting in Hengdian, Ada took her daughter with her on the trip, convenient for her to look after her. 

Moses' coffee gets everyone rushing to the restroom 

When asked about her rumored 20K RMB per episode? She laughed and did not comment. Moses, standing besides her, teased that she's most popular. Aside from shooting, Moses also makes coffee for the crew. Moses laughed and said yesterday morning after he brew a special coffee for everyone to try, they all rushed to find the restroom. Ada said his coffee is diuretic.

Tavia Yeung: Not capable of buying a home to cohabit with Him Law 

Tavia Yeung, Michael Tse and Sharon Chan were shooting in West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade for TVB new series Justice Pursuit & Attack. The scene was about Tavia and Michael participating in a charity hugging competition, and under the bitter heat, the two had to embrace tightly. Michael joked he got soaked from all the hugging. Asked if Tavia is good to hug? He teased: "Yes, her belly fat supports my abdomen's 5th and 6th pack!" Tavia refuted: "It's your belly fat that is supporting my muscular abdomen! Stop speaking nonsense, otherwise people might think your sexually harassing me." Michael said: "How is belly fat sexual harassment?" 

It was reported that Tavia bought a new home and is cohabiting with rumored boyfriend Him Law? Tavia denied that she bought a home, and said she isn't capable of buying a home with cash. She's paying mortgage on her current home and she isn't cohabiting with Him. She said: "He should give me money to spend. However, I only can take a man's money after marriage. I am still looking for a partner." Him isn't your partner? Tavia did not answer the question, but said her career is the priority. Asked if she's single? She ignored the question and said when she was young, she promised to marry her mother. 

Sharon wants to hug the cat she had for 10 years the most. It was rumored she's diagnosed with lupus (SLE)? She denied: "I had acute kidney inflammation before, but have already recovered. I'm still keeping up with getting a blood test done every two months and see if there are any changes. I have to watch my diet and can't drink. My mom cooks for me and I get appropriate amount of physical activity. My current health is even stronger than the Queens of Diamonds & Hearts period, I don't even get the flu."

Tavia Yeung acupuncture for back pains, not for a nose job 

Yesterday Tavia Yeung and Michael Tse were shooting on location for TVB new series Justice Pursuit and Attack. The scene was about the two dating, but then witnesses newcomer Rachel Poon jumping off the building. For the scene, Rachel was hanging on wires 10 stories high, but she frankly said she wasn't too scared because usually she plays with the jumping machine [at theme parks]. 

It was rumored that Tavia went to see an acupuncturist for a nose job. Tavia explained the acupuncture was to treat her protruding disc on her lower backbone (lumbar): "There is a slight fracture on my lumbar. In this series I have to wear high heels often and not getting enough sleep, so I'm having back pains. Right now my entire back is covered in Chinese fire cupping marks. If you can get plastic surgery done through acupuncture, then my entire face would be covered with needle holes!"

Myolie Wu "Fei Tin" again, gains 10lbs and gets her first ever 'patpat'

Yesterday Myolie Wu, Linda Chung, Bobby Au Yeung and JJ Jia attended TVB series House of Harmony and Vengeance promotion event. Bobby was hilarious as he had on the ancient Chinese bra ('to dou') while playing the games. Regarding the ratings, Myolie laughed: "I heard the ratings were 29 points, considered above average!" Bobby sighed and expressed the leads are jointly treating the cast and crew a meal on the finale night, but Linda is busy shooting another series and may not be able to make it.

Bobby appeared at the event dressed casually and teased that he's pretending to be Ron Ng and then dragged Myolie into the water, by calling her Viann Zhang. Bobby teased Myolie, that she has to rely on materials to be able to have a figure like Viann's. When speaking of the heavy storyline in new series Master of Play, Bobby directly admitted thatHouse is a no brainer and the happy feeling is like celebrating new years. Bobby said: "Disgust, action, handsome or Chok series are not for me. The silly and funny roles are more suitable for me because there's only me in TVB that hasn't left, but there are also Fuk Luk Sau (Louis Yuen, Wong Cho Lam, Johnson Lee) and Evergreen Mak. I have an old contract with TVB and still owe them about two series. We haven't discuss the contract renewal terms yet, but if I don't renew my contract, I will no longer have a hobby. If I go to Mainland and then back to HK, I'm worried I may be unemployed, so most likely I'll be renewing my contract. After all, I have been with the company for 30 years, and will eventually need to settle at one network." 

Lately Myolie has been working in Mainland and each day she eats all three of her meals. She revealed she gained 10 pounds and is busy trying to lose the weight now. She said: "My lower body is the disastrous area, I have never had a pat pat (butt) in my 30 year lifetime. (What about your upper body?) Not sure, didn't measure." Does boyfriend Bosco Wong have anything to say about her weight gain? Myolie expressed he's busy shooting in Shanghai, and she hasn't seen him for several months. She feels her career should be the priority, it's fine if they don't see each other often. 

Linda clarifies sister isn't sick 

It was reported Linda is a 'stingy girl' and is actively saving up to help pay for her seriously ill elder sister's medical bills. Linda clarified: "Absolutely a misunderstanding! The reporter misunderstood my meaning when they interviewed me. My sister is very healthy. The report has caused unhappiness in my entire family. Friends and relatives were very worried, so I must explain and clarify this rumor. (Are you a stingy girl?) I spend when I should spend, just considered a normal girl. I don't have a domestic worker at home, so I go grocery shopping and cook myself, that is normal. Should I be going out to eat every day? So, in no way am I deliberately saving up to buy groceries." 

JJ Jia feels unhappy scolded by Netizens 

In the series, JJ Jia plays a villain, and is getting scolded by Netizens daily. She admits her EQ is low and is thin-skinned, so she's been feeling unhappy. JJ helplessly said: "I hope the ending will air soon, so I don't get yelled at anymore. Although this is the case, I won't resist to play villains in the future. In my next series, I'm a villain again. Because I want to try everything, I feel like I'm contradicting myself, so the only thing I can do is to have self-control."

Moses Chan takes care a sicken Aimee Chan 

Yesterday Moses Chan and Maggie Siu attended the promotional event for TVB series Master of Play. Aimee Chan was absent because she was ill. At the event, Moses performed magic on stage, but was pretty clumsy revealing the tricks, and resulted in laughter among the audience. Moses expressed: "She (Aimee Chan) was going to come, but because she's been working too her, she feels unwell. I will take good care of her or accompany her to the doctor. Most important is she gets lots of rest. (You'll take care of her so she doesn't have to work?) She likes to act, I respect her aspiration. She has high flexibility in her acting, and has performed very well this time!" Moses expressed he has done a lot of homework on the magic and performed 60% of the magic scenes from the series. "I've learned a few tricks before, but of course the large-scale magic tricks, I need a professional magician to direct me." 

There were many complaints on the bloody and terrifying scenes, Maggie strongly supported that the scenes were necessary for the plot. "If it were too simple, then the scenes would look fake. Of course, we have to have strong seriousness in the shoot to be able to explicate the later story. If the housewives have to look after their children, then don't watch. Save it for the evenings to watch online with husband. My mom is watching the series and is also not understanding the plot, I will explain it to her. In fact, the housewives are very smart, just they are too busy and cannot concentrate on watching series. Have to give it some time to digest."

Jack Wu announces wife June Chan pregnant with second child 

Jack Wu and his wife June Chan are pregnant again. June is currently 3 months pregnant and expected to due in December. Yesterday morning, Jack announced on Weibo that he's going to be a father again and uploaded June's ultrasound. He wrote: "Pride is a type of force that can make people become more diligent towards their work! Some people like to place the feeling of price on materials! My pride is only on my dearest daughter. Here, please forgive me for adding a little more pride [in my words] because there will soon be a new member in the Wu family! To all my good friends, I hope you can give my wife and I unlimited blessings, wishing them good health! Thanks! -- The Wu Family" Many good friends from the industry including Felix Wong, Niki Chow, Nancy Wu, Sharon Chan, Tavia Yeung, Raymond Wong, Raymond Cho, etc. all congratulated Mr. and Mrs. Wu. 

Jack's daughter is already two years old, but during June's first trimester in this second pregnancy, she vomited severely and the doctor said her baby is a little unstable. She was encouraged to be on bed rest for a some time, so lately Jack has been responsible for the majority of the house work.
