They hope to shoot a sequel with the original cast and if it does happen, they don't mind asking their friends to guest star. Jessica joked: "It's not difficult to guest star in one episode. I will definitely ask Bobby Au-Yeung, and maybe try Louis Koo. I'll try to kneel down and beg him, maybe he'll come back then. He still has a contract with TVB anyway!" But as for herself, Jessica said she's still discussing a contract with TVB: "We're still discussing, it's going to be a per-series contract and the sequel is one of the attractions." 

Also, Joe attended The Bourne Legacy film premiere with his wife and son. He expressed because of Tiger Cubs, he may have the opportunity to go on the big screen, he said: "I'm currently discussing 2-3 films. It's police roles again, but still interesting." Joe will also be signing a per-series contract with TVB soon, but he'll still concentrate on working in Mainland. "For now, I'm doing one series per year with TVB, will check out the scripts before I decide." He expressed it is still not confirm whether Tiger Cubs will shoot a sequel or film version, but there are already companies willing to invest into producing the film and asked him to participated in the production side of it.

Janet Chow risks miscarriage, asks Chris Lai to carry her

Yesterday Wayne Lai, Kent Cheng, Kristal Tin, Janet Chow, Chris Lai, Elaine Yiu, Pierre Ngo and Natalie Tong appeared in their ancient costumes for the promotion of TVB new series King Maker. Lead actors Wayne and Kent put in the most effort into the promotion. Aside from arm wrestling each other, the two played tug-a-war with Kristal and Elaine. Everyone was worried about the pregnant Janet Chow, although Chris took good care of her, she saw the cast having so much fun playing and she wanted to join too, so she asked Chris to carry her. Wonder if her husband Timmy Hung will freak out when he sees that. 

Yesterday Janet's growing belly was much more visible than her last public appearance. She said: "My stomach is growing fast. Friends have told me not to eat too much. Timmy is currently out working, as his wife, I don't want him to worry. Last night, I had dinner at Charmaine Sheh's house with a large group of friends. I chatted with Annie Man about our pregnancy experiences and even went shopping online for baby products. (Does Charmaine envy you?) I don't know, but I did urge her to start dating soon, but I won't introduce any guys to her because it feels awkward." Janet reveals her expected due date is February 5, 2013. She already chose the date to get a C-section, but if she's due earlier, she will go for a natural birth. 

As the cast for King Makers is similar to The Greatness of a Hero? Wayne said: "Because there is a shortage of artists at TVB, but the story is different. This time Kent and I will have a lot of battle of wits scenes. He's the evil one, and I'm the good guy. (Film King challenges TV King?) Of course, the co-star is very important. Kent is very talented."

Tiger Cubs' Records a Special for Finale; Surprise Crossover with 'All Star World Exam'

Last night TVB recorded two shows Tiger Cubs: Final Mission and All Star World Exam, so it was especially lively in the makeup room. The two shows even did a crossover promotion together. Joe Ma, Jessica Hsuan, Kenneth Ma, JJ Jia, Him Law, Vincent Wong and Benjamin Yuen were in the middle of taking a large group picture, but coincidentally Grasshopper were in the studio preparing to start their show. Dressed in SDU uniforms, Joe led his team into the studio where Grasshopper was and surprised the live studio audience. Everyone cheered at the sight of the SDU team. 

Recently the Olympics have stolen a lot of the TVB audience and the finale of Tiger Cubs is airing this Sunday. Last night, the cast recorded a special edition Tiger Cubs: Final Mission, is this suppose to help boost the ratings? Jessica said: "Tiger Cubs's ratings has been doing well all along. There is a slight slide, but its related to the Olympics." The other TV station (ATV) got zero points in the ratings? "It is also because of the Olympics, not related to us." 

Joe is happy that Tiger Cubs gets a two hour finale and a special, he feels the series is heavily valued. When asked if there's going to be a sequel or a film version of the series? Joe said: "We'll have to see how TVB arranges it. I hope to shoot a sequel too." Jessica said the sequel will only be perfect if its with the original cast and when the time comes, she can take out her 'friendship cards' to get guest stars, such as in this one, Kenneth Ma appears again in the finale, not many people can see his evil side. 

Kenneth and JJ Jia had rumors before when they were shooting this series. That night, JJ exposed Kenneth saw her ugly "pizza face" look in the series and still comforted her by calling her a pretty girl. She felt very happy when she heard this. Kenneth was teased that he should start pursuing JJ, who had just fallen out of love. JJ laughed: "You all should just write it like that, but after the series ends, don't mention it again." Kenneth joked that JJ really knows how to make use of the media for promotions. When JJ heard this, she was frightened and quickly denied. When asked if she dislikes Kenneth? She said: "No, I can't match him, he's the biggest 'seun poon' in the city." 

Also, Kenneth was on a radio interview and clarified the rumors with his co-star Myolie Wu from new series Seasons of Love. He praised Myolie's professionalism and that her emotions has not affected her acting, so there is no need to comfort her. When asked if its finally a dream come true for him, that he has rumors? Kenneth said: "The rumors are nothing unusual. I saw the pictures on the magazine, its all just from the series. Myolie and I were looking through the magazine, she didn't care about the content, just if the pictures look good or not. I said they're all pictures from the series, of course it all looks good, no need to worry. There are many Bosco Wong and Myolie fans wanting the two to get back together and I'm sure the media is just worried about them, I don't dare to get in between them. I'm afraid the next rumor will say Myolie broke up with Bosco because of me and I'll become a sinner. It's too dangerous to comment too much now. Our rumor has been going on for a few days, time will prove everything." He also exposed after 8 years, he finally gets to 'date' Myolie in the new series. Although Kenneth is known as the 'seun poon' #2, he sighed he still doesn't have anyone he's interested in.

Kenneth Ma won't be a sinner blocking Myolie Wu & Bosco Wong from reconciling 

On the 13th day since Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong announced their break up, ending their 8 year relationship, more and more rumors are circulating. Following the public's speculation that Bosco had a third party, there were rumors that Myolie was strongly pursued by Taiwanese actor "TTV's Big Brother" Eric Huang. Yesterday it was rumored that TVB's 'good deal #2' (seun poon), Kenneth Ma, successfully won Myolie's heart after shooting new series Seasons of Love with her. However, Kenneth was afraid he'll become a sinner blocking Myolie and Bosco from reconciling, so yesterday he quickly explained: "Please don't misunderstand, I don't dare to pursue Myolie." 

Myolie and Kenneth play a couple in the new series Seasons of Love, the two have intimate scenes as well as a CPR scene. It was said 7 years ago when they collaborated in To Grow With Love, Kenneth was already pursuing Myolie, but it wasn't until Seasons of Love that he was successful. Yesterday Kenneth was shooting an outdoor scene for the new series and when asked about his successful pursuit of Myolie? He denied several times. He said: "Of course I can't pursue Myolie, don't speak nonsense. I'm afraid I might become a sinner. I know many fans want Myolie and Bosco to get back together, I don't want to get in between them. I'm afraid fans will scold me!" When asked if he expects the two to get back together? Kenneth said: "The most important is their happiness, outsiders should not comment too much." 

Kenneth expressed everyone is worried about Myolie and now that she's single again, many are impatient for her. However, we should all just let her calm down and take things slowly, he said: "Perhaps because we're a couple in Seasons of Love that caused these imaginations that we're actually together." Kenneth expressed the intimate photos that the magazine published were part of the series. He also does not have a Weibo account, so there is no way he could have 'transferred love' through Weibo. When asked if he'll start pursuing later? Kenneth said: "No! Please don't misunderstand, I don't dare to pursue her, Myolie is too good!" 

It was said earlier when Myolie went with Kenneth and Ruco Chan to Singapore for promotions, they were already playing like there was no one around. Kenneth said: "The three of us had a great time. I learned of Myolie and Bosco's break up the same time as the public, Myolie appears professional during shooting and has not let her emotions affect her." Kenneth laughed: "I won't avoid collaborating with Myolie again just because of these rumors. We are also in Triumph in the Skies II, but we're not a couple. When the time comes, perhaps there will be new rumors that I'm pursuing Elena Kong!" Regarding to the rumor that he only pursues the middle-aged women? Kenneth expressed he just laughed it off and treats it as promotion for the series. 

Yesterday Myolie was shooting the last scene for Seasons of Love and was asked about the rumor with Kenneth. She laughed: "I don't feel Kenneth is trying to pursue me at all. We are colleagues, the rumor is just too funny." She praised Kenneth's good qualities, but she does not want turn the relationship into such a complicated one. She said it's best to think of all these rumors as little stories. "I am concentrated on my work. I can still be very happy now that I'm single again."

Joe Ma's 'Tiger Cubs' high ratings, to return to TVB as a 'per series' artist 

Joe Ma, Jessica Hsuan and the rest of the Tiger Cubs cast attended a charity event. As Tiger Cubs is getting good response, Joe said because of this series he has gained a wider range of fans. He expressed: "I'm planning aparty on a cruise on the day of the finale. (What's the dress code for the party?) Whatever you like! The date hasn't been set yet, but on the finale night, Jessica has to celebrate her birthday with fans in Shanghai, so she may not be able to come." He also reveals: "Because TVB has good scripts, roles and teams, I will be going back to TVB for a per-series contract. (Good salary too?) Everything is good!" 

Fan wanted to sleep with Joe 

When speaking of many TVB Siu Sangs involved with Mainland actresses, Joe said: "I haven't!" He believes there are many professional artists in Mainland, and he has had pleasant collaborations with them. His wife is also not worried about him and often accompanies him to work whenever she's free. When asked if he's got any SMS from girls? Joe expressed he hasn't, but he won't respond to strangers. He exposed there was once a fan who messaged him on Weibo and said she wanted to sleep with him. Other fans immediately scolded that fan. Jesica heard this and expressed: "That's crazy! I've had fans confess their love for me too." Joe laughed: "Nothing better to do!" 

Him is willing to sing with Tavia Yeung as couple team 

When Him Law heard about Joe's party on a cruise, he was a bit surprised because he's afraid Joe might make him wear a bathing suit. If the ratings get better, will he wear a bathing suit? Him laughed and said he will, but he'll add cycling shorts over of his triangular swim trunks. He's not worried of the 'modern' effect, because he's wore them as a life guard before, in all kinds of colors and designs too. It's just been too long since he's put those kinds of swimwear on, so he feels a little embarrassed. He said his current body figure isn't as fit since he's been too busy and hasn't had time to work out. 

Him will soon be going overseas for a stage performance and will have to sing. Lately, he's been actively practicing his singing and now he's voice is hoarse, so now he has to work hard on getting his voice back. If someone approaches him to release an album, he can consider. Has rumored girlfriend Tavia Yeung, heard him sing before? "Next time I'll invite her for karaoke then, then you all can ask her what she thinks of my singing. I heard Tavia sing before, not too bad. If the price is good, and we're comfortable collaborating, can consider singing as a 'couple team'." 

Christine Kuo was said to be one of Kevin Cheng's girlfriends. She expressed: "Every artist who has worked with him gets rumored, he's a popular guy. (What if he pursues you?) Talk about it when it's actually true!"

After news broke out that Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu ended their 8-year relationship, rumors had it that it was due to a third party on Bosco's side. However, it doesn't seem to be affecting his career too much as he is continuing to film dramas in China and also achieved great ratings for "Witness Insecurity." His role of cool and affectionate Hui Sir won the hearts of many audiences. In the finale aired last night Hui Sir unfortunately had a tragic death, causing netizens to explode in criticisms. They criticized that it was far-fetched and unreasonable when wounded Hui Sir was trying to find Kui Chi Lum (Linda Chung) on his motorbike. They complained that this was the worst finale ever and fans requested them to refilm the ending or film a sequel to bring Hui Sir back to life.

Netizens vow not to watch Ghetto Justice 2

Netizens pointed out that because TVB is in a hurry to broadcast Ghetto Justice 2, they cut Witness Insecurity from 28 episodes down to 20 episodes; thus leaving the drama to this choppy ending. Some netizens even went further and vented, "Let us protest by not watching Ghetto Justice 2!"

Producer Lau Ka Ho expressed his satisfaction for the drama for causing such a big response and also for achieving over a 30-point average rating. He admitted that the ending may not be the favorite for some audience, but revealed that he also received alot of congratulatory messages on Weibo.
