Shawn Yue Man Lok yesterday attended a shoe event and received a pair of special edition shoes with his birthday "1113" on them. Yue Man Lok's sister celebrated her birthday two days ago and Lok Jai posted their photo online. "When I am working I rarely celebrate with her.

Speaking of his new film CHET DOH with Jacky Cheung Hok Yau, Ji Jin-Hee and Choi Si-Won, Lok Jai said that because it still has not received the approval they were still rehearsing and have not gone into official production.

Liu Kai Chi, Candy Lo Hau Yam, Jeana Ho Pui Yu, Shirley Yim (Suet Lei) and her son Edward Chui Woei Dong two nights ago attended the film LONG LONG CAFE production start ceremony. Playing a youth on the edge, Jeana liked this type of film. She had room to perform and was very happy about the chance to work with Uncle Chi. She said, "Uncle Chi plays a social worker who takes care of us. He is a professional actor and I can learn from him. (Did you feel any pressure?) No, he is very nice, very active in teaching younger folks." Speaking of her love life, Jeana says that she is looking. As for suitors, she said, "I haven't sense any, now I am at home whenever I am not at work. I am like an otaku. I think I have to hang out and meet more friends to have a chance. Now it is like I have lowered the gate on myself." Would she take the initiative when she meets the right one? Jeana said that she would try to drag on the ambiguous period longer and enjoy the process.

Jeana revealed that in the film she would rob Lo Hau Yam, but said that she was so thin that she was afraid of scaring her. Lo Hau yam said, "I am afraid of scaring her instead, her waist is still slim. I am OK." She said that she has already gained two pounds. "I haven't been deliberately gaining weight, I exercise and deliberately have three meals. Now I am even addicting to exercise. My husband gave me a treadmill." She revealed that her husband will soon release a record and they have been exercising together. His goal was Nick Cheung Ka Fai. "Whether he will be able to achieve that it is another matter, but having this goal is good." As for their parenthood plans, she said, "I have to get into shape to have a baby. Although my husband says that he wants to take it naturally, he is in more of a hurry than me. (How many would you want?) I will do my best, the best would be a pair. Now most couples have one, children have less communication. I feel going to playgroup too soon is very sad, you should have another one to play together. I don't want to be a monster mama."

Brother Pang said that he loved to yell at people. He would erupt with foul language with guys but be a little better with girls. However he still would teach them.

Donnie Yen Chi Tan is also the action director in the film SPECIAL ID (DUT SHU SUN FUN) as he adds street fighting and special forces fighting techniques to find a new breakthrough for "Yen Kung Fu". Yen Chi Tan asks for no repeat for every action scene. He has one on one fight scenes with many actors and has to design each person's different fighting style. In the film he is a dark hero and becomes an enemy to Andy Tien (On Chi Kit) due to their different goals; their realistic fighting becomes the bright spot, as they use metal rods and bars. Yen Chi Tan's action is so fast that even cinematographer Peter Pau Tak Fun says the cameras have difficulty to grasp it.

Both he and On Chi Kit are injured from their fight. This film invites Hollywood make up artists to create injury images for the characters. When the make up artists fix their "scar make up" they cannot differentiate between the fake from the real wounds. Yen Chi Tan sees On Chi Kit's potential as a kung fu star successor, as he is agile, tall and handsome. With the realistic fighting during the shoot injuries often occur, Yen Chi Tan admits that with the injuries that he has, even sitting hurts. He has to tough it out with nothing but will power. "The Strongest In the Universe" does not refer to his body but his spirit.

Yen Chi Tan earlier also completed another film YUT GOR YUN DIK MO LUM (ONE PERSON'S MARTIAL ART WORLD). At the wrap banquet, Emperor boss Albert Yeung Sau Sing was present and gave away HK$ 50,000 cash for a lucky drawing; Yen Chi Tan and director Teddy Chan Tak Sum gave 20,000 and 30,000 respectively. Yen Chi Tan became the Fortune God and gave away HK$ 1,000 bills.

She is very happy to return to our new home, which she says is very comfortable. She really likes my designs, which she considers passable. We still have to fix it up a little, for now it's not too neat." Was he used to holding his big bellied wife when they slept? Chan Ho awkwardly laughed and said, "It's OK, I will love her more."

Susan Shaw Yam Yam revealed that earlier Chan Ho while working on the film often talked with Aimee over the phone. She said, "He hasn't told me whether it would be a boy or a girl, but I want him to have a son. At work he is already with women everyday, with a son then he would not have to face so many women."

I wouldn't deliberately push children to work, I hope sh would have contact with more areas. If my daughter grows up and wants to be an actress? Let's wait until then!"

Mandy Lieu yesterday attended the Tony Wong Yuk Long 50th Anniversary Exhibition. She said that she was already reading Wong Yuk Long's comic books when she was in Malaysia. "I often asked my cousin when he did not have Wong Siu Fu's figure. If a man is muscular, I would add 5 points! I feel in reality (Eddie) Peng Yu-Yen has Wong Siu Fu's muscular figure, unfortunately I have no chance." Mandy is busy with an action film in Taiwan. Due to her low cut costumes, her co-stars have been showing her mercy during fight scenes. "They don't dare to kick my chest, in the end it was changed to a kick to the gut."

Albert Yeung Sau Sing said that when he was down on his luck, Wong Yuk Long supported and respected him. He is planning a film that will be based on a Wong Yuk Long's comic book. "(Nicholas) Ts Ting Fung will be the first choice for the lead. The investment will be HK$ 70 to 80 million. With Ting Fung, the investment will be over HK$ 100 million.

Carina Lau Ka Ling yesterday was a promotional ambassador a walk against gynecological cancers. When she host the ceremony and saw a balloon popped she covered her ears in fright. Sh said that she has had scheduled physical examinations, over the years friends like Anita Mui Yim Fong have fallen illness. Thus she would pay more attention to gynecological examinations.

Lau Ka Ling accepted an interview with Luisa Lai Chi San's TELLING MARIA and spoke about her kidnapping. She said, "If I have the chance, I want to run into those 4 people. They were under other people's order." Ka Ling yesterday afternoon was asked about the interview. She said, "Actually I have already forgiven them long ago, now I am very honest. I don't have any taboo, anything that I can't talk about. My mind is very open." She and Chi San had a lot of fun during their interview as she did not have any secret.

Recently Ka Ling landed in a Mainland "richest show business women investors chart" with 650 million yuan RMB. She asked everyone not to believe it at all. "Many sites are just for laughs in order to draw people's eyes and increase hit rates. I am a working person, I work nonstop." Her friend Vicki Zhao Wei two nights ago won the Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Film Festival Director Debut Award. She was happy for Zhao Wei and would definitely celebrate with her. Ka Ling was not too interested in directing. A director had to keep a lot in mind, which was not simple. She might not have the ability to. She would like to try producing if she had a chance, from planning to completing a film. She believed that the sense of satisfaction would be greater than acting, but she saw how rough Shi Nansun had it. She heard YOUNG DETECTIVE DEE RISE OF THE SEA DRAGON (DIK YUN KIT ji SUN DOH LUNG WONG) made almost 70 million yuan RMB in the Mainland and she was very happy.

They were rather harmonious. Goo Jai looked on nearby, felt upset and jealous as his face grew as dark as his tan. Then he turned around and left. To Kei Fung was on hand to supervise. Many pedestrians stopped and watched the shoot.
