DOG BITES JACKIE CHAN

Jackie Chan in CZ12 after a scene of stealing a statue in a French castle had to play hide and seek in the garden maze with four Doberman. Big Brother tried his best to shake them but finally still had to use a glider parachute to complete the mission. Big Brother said, "After 100 movies, what opponent haven't I seen? In ROB B HOOD (BO BUI GAI WAT) I was even able to handle a baby, not to mention four Doberman!" 

Big Brother and these four "actors" had more than chemistry. When they were not in a scene they would remain by his side as if they were Big Brother's bodyguards. Big Brother pointed out that these bodyguards actually liked to play ball and were truly very lovable. He felt that the most important part of acting with animals was patience. Before the shoot he played with them and had more exchanges. Eye contact was the most important. Finally one of them still bit Big Brother's finger. 

The team was rather nervous and immediately gave him tetanus shots, but he screamed that he was afraid of needles the most and made the team laugh. Big Brother pointed out that to be more familiar with his four "actors" he bought a lot of snacks for them. However he only remembered to make arrangement for the shoot and forgot about the remaining scent of the food on his hand. Only then was he bitten.

HAHA AND BYUL 'STAR' WILL MARRY THIS NOVEMBER

It has very suddenly been announced that singer and entertainer HaHa (33) will be getting married!

According to industry insiders, HaHa and singer Byul (‘Star’, age 29) has decided to tie the knot after six months of dating. The two are reported to have known each other for the past 7 to 8 years, but only started dating seriously earlier this year. They are reported to have set the date of the wedding for November 30th.

HaHa is expected to officially announce the news on August 15th at the MBC Dream Center through a press conference at 2 PM KST.

HaHa made his debut in 2001 and became a well-loved celebrity for his various variety show appearances as well as his continuous effort as a singer. Meanwhile, Byul made her debut in 2002 and has been loved for many hit songs like “December 32nd“, “When Watching Dramas“, and more, and featured on the latest OST track for the current drama, ‘You Who Rolled in Unexpectedly‘.

Kim Go-Eun (김고은), better known by her stage name of 별 (Byul, "star"), is a South Korean singer known mostly for her ballads. She was born on October 22, 1983 in Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do and studied in Dongduk Women's University. She was discovered by singer-songwriter Park Jin Young when she had the opportunity to sing for him at one of his fan-meetings, and is currently signed under Spring Entertainment.

Byul's first album was released in 2002, with the interestingly-titled single "December 32nd" marking her debut in the entertainment industry. A song of waiting for a lost love (who promised he would be back before the end of the year), it became very popular (as it was released in December of that year). The subsequent singles from the album, though, did not achieve much popularity and Byul took a break from the music scene.

After taking one-year hiatus for vocal training, Byul released her eponymous second album, in March 2005. Her first and only single from the album was entitled "안부", a duet with ballad singer Na Yoon Kwon. Both the album and the single initially sold poorly. The song "I Think I Love You", however, was later used as the theme song for the Korean television drama Full House. The album enjoyed modest success when the drama became a hit domestically and internationally, and Byul's first two albums were subsequently released in China.

Sharon Chan not interested in taking Sammy Leung’s first on-screen kiss

Yesterday morning, Sharon Chan revealed her fine waist and long legs for TVB new series Justice Pursuit & Attack, where she plays an undercover female cop and pretends to be a prostitute. She was dressed almost the same as her previous sex worker role in Ghetto Justice. However, Sharon is not afraid she might get branded: “I’m just acting, just like the rebirth of ‘Hot Leg Goddess’.”

In the series, Sharon plays a couple with Sammy Leung. As this is Sammy’s first series, has Sharon ever thought about taking Sammy’s first on-screen kiss? She happily joked: “I don’t want to!” On the contrary, Sammy didn’t mind kissing Sharon: “As long as its not Kitty Yuen. My first on-screen kiss in a film was given to Stephy Tang, she’s a pretty girl too! (Has Sharon’s beautiful long legs made you faint yet?) She already attracted a lot of men over to the location, but I like those with shorter legs. Sharon is like my mother, she’s a good brother and senior. She’s too much like a guy, but takes good care of me.” It seems like he’s putting up guards to prevent rumors in hope to keep their other halves at ease.

Truly going nude

Sharon has a scene where she madly runs on the street, which is a scene similar to what she has done before in Ghetto Justice. While shooting for that scene in Ghetto, she tripped and broke her collarbone and had to rest for a period of time. Sharon said that incident didn’t leave a shadow behind: Because this time, I have it more relaxed than before, I don’t have to run so fiercely. Also, I’m wearing sneakers for the run, much more relaxed!” In the series, Sharon and Sammy are a bickering couple, she reveals Sammy has a scene where his pants gets pulled down and exposes his boxers. Sammy joked: “I want to go nude! (A stunts double?) No, I’m doing it myself, a true nude scene, but I don’t think the producer will allow.”

As for Otto Chan, who plays Sammy’s subordinate, has been receiving favorable criticisms for his performance in Gloves Come Off. People on the streets call him by his role in the series ‘Ah Lik’ and this has made him very happy. However, lead actor Kevin Cheng has been criticized for having bad attitude. Otto strongly supported Kevin: “Perhaps because he has to do action scenes and formal scenes, using up all his physical strength and don’t have time to rest. He’s a very good person!”

Cyndi Wang denies she came between Sonia Sui and Yao Yuan Hao

Taiwanese singer Cyndi Wang claims that she “does not have someone in mind now” after being accused of being the third party in Sonia Sui and Yao Yuan Hao’s relationship. Refuting earlier rumours that Cyndi was seen leaving Yuan Hao’s residence in a white Mercedes E250 late last year, the singer’s manager expressed that Cyndi drives a black Mercedes and not a white one as witnessed.

However, a Facebook photo that had Milk Wang (Cyndi’s Facebook name) tagged on it, surfaced yesterday, showing the singer’s good friend, Zhu An Yu, driving a similar series of the Mercedes seen at Yuan Hao’s residence.

When approached by the media, Cyndi’s management explained that the 29-year-old “was tagged in the photo only because she was with An Yu” and even provided a photo of Cyndi’s black Mercedes to back clarifications made earlier. The management also shared that Cyndi had not met with Yuan Hao recently and that they “reserve the right to sue the person who started the rumour.”

Sonia also defended her boyfriend yesterday, expressing her wish that “the news would stop” and to give the couple “some space.” She added that Yuan Hao’s “career has just took off and hope that this will not affect him,” believing that “everyone has their right to make friends before marriage.”

Yuan Hao, who is filming his new drama in China, had expressed his frustration over the rumours and claimed to be just high school friends with Cyndi.

Jerry Yan and Lin Chi-ling to reconcile?

It seems like there is some truth in recent rumours which claimed that Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling and actor Jerry Yan may reconcile with each other.

Chi-ling, who had been busy working in China and Japan lately, made a rare appearing in Taiwan two nights ago, when she was spotted having supper with her friends in former flame Jerry’s neighbourhood. The model reportedly chose the particular restaurant for its authentic Taiwanese flavour.

The careful Chi-ling took great care of her image while she dined, and would wipe her lips with tissue paper occasionally. After the meal, she looked through some information and discussed work with her friends. She also spoke on the phone gently at one point and covered her mouth, as if afraid of being overheard.

When Chi-ling noticed the paparazzi later, she took the reporters on a wild goose chase through the Min Sheng county area in Taipei, and made quick turns into the alleyways, suggesting her familiarity with the area, before disappearing at a crossroad.

Chi-ling’s manager Sammy responded to the report, saying, “I haven’t heard that she has a date with Jerry. It was just a simple meal before she went home to pack. Chi-ling had already left for a shoot in Shanghai.”

Sister Guen told me that she hoped to see her at church every time.” Man Chi said that although she did not know about her condition now, she knew that Sister Guen was optimistic and positive. She believed that nothing would stump her. Cheng Tse Sing’s wife Lau Sin Yi was Sister Guen’s good friend. He said that he did not know about Sister Guen’s condition and only knew that his wife was in text message contact with Sister Guen everyday.

Cheng Tse Sing said that he did not know. Lo Dai Wai said that he was familiar with Sister Guen’s family. He said that he has not contacted her but praised Sister Guen to be a reborn warrior. He believed that she would optimistically face it.

Linda returns to HK, says relationship with Phillip Ng is “Peaceful”

Linda attended a jewelry function today (26th April) after recently returning to Hong Kong from Canada. Linda revealed that she celebrated her birthday with her family and friends in Canada. Reporters ask if her friends around have already gotten married, and she replied saying, “Many of them are already married, some of them are even considering having their second child, but of course there are some who are still single.”

Reporters ask if her family is rushing her to get married, and Linda said, “My mum does not rush me actually, but it is my friends who are rushing me instead, asking me to get married quickly, recalling times during my secondary school days where we would guess who would be the first to get married. At that time, they guess that I would be the one who will get married first, as I was rather soft spoken and they considered me to be the most dependent and reliant one. But now I’m not sure if I’ll be the last one *cries*”.

Reporters question again if she ever thought about getting married with Phillip Ng, she said, “This rumour has been spread for many years, and has been said for so many times, so I don’t have anything special to respond this time. I guess it’s because Daddy Good Deeds was airing, and thus a wide range of news will surface during that time. However, after I’ve been in this industry I’ve learnt to accept this sort of news. It doesn’t matter; I’ll just treat it as promotion for this drama, and also free promotion for myself considering that I’ve been away from Hong Kong for the past month. I don’t have to go for interviews, haha.”

Reporters continue to discuss Phillip Ng, asking “so what is the relationship between the both of you now?” Linda says that “It is still a peaceful relationship. As for our relationship in our private lives I don’t wish to respond too much about it, as it is not important. I believe that in relationships between me and my friends or my family, it is ok that only both parties understand.”
