Kate Tsui & Raymond Lam - The more they fish, the popular they get

2012-01-28T11:40:00.001+08:00

This Dragon year, Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui will be collaborating once again in TVB new series Thunderous Drug Raid. The other day, the two took advantage of their free time and did a warm up. They celebrated the new year together with salad and lively lobsters, which implies the meaning that this year they will get better and better, making more money.

Raymond has been developing in the three industries (TV, film, music) and had not had much time to spend with his family. So for this Lunar New Year, Raymond must take off and get back to his hometown in Xiamen to celebrate the new year with his family. Raymond admitted that he will just get busier and busier, and his parents will get older and older. If he can't even take a small amount of time off to spend with his family, then he doesn't know what the purpose of going out to work is, the meaning of hard work, and all the support his family has given him in the background to waste. Raymond laughed: "Each year when I go back to Xiamen, the happiest thing is having 'Great Aunt's Fruit' that my father personally made. It's really tasty, and this originated from my Great Aunt, but later my father changed it a little. I will definitely have to learn how to make this and pass it down generation after generation."

Although Kate has a break for the Lunar New Year, but she still had to do homework for the upcoming series Thunderous Drug Raid, in which she will be collaborating with Raymond. In the series, she plays a bar 'boxer' that will eventually turn into the next Queen of Drugs. In the meantime, she has already collected several films about drugs and tried researching the role. In regards to her Dragon year wish, Kate expressed: "This year, I am casted in two TV series Thunderous Drug Raid and Triumph in the Skies II. I hope that both will complete smoothly because my roles in these two series have great changes. (There is high possibility that your Drug Queen role will get you TV Queen this year?) I cannot think too much about that, and don't want to give too much pressure to myself. If I'm able to get nominated at the TVB Anniversary, then that's already pretty good. (What about in other areas?) I know last year I only had one film Turning Point 2, but I'm very excited that I was able to continue on the role as Paris. When the time comes, it'll be best if I could be nominated at the Hong Kong Film Awards! As far as singing, I will just be mainly doing stage performances. I'm very happy that there are people who remember my song Hit Me."

Raymond Lam buys red underwear briefs to ward off bad luck

2012-01-25T10:36:00.001+08:00

Three years, Raymond Lam was a dark horse candidate in winning the Jade Solid Gold “Asia Pacific’s Most Popular Male Singer Award.” Besides winning the same award this year, Raymond also won JSG’s “Golden Melody Gold Award,” for his song Chok, which resulted in much public criticism for the awards results.

Aside from his controversial win at the JSG awards, Raymond Lam also continued to embarrass himself recently. In a Lunar New Year program recording in Guangzhou, Raymond’s crotch may have twitched. Afterward, he acted as if “The Three Gods” (Louis Yuen, and Johnson Lee, and Wong Cho Lam were transparent. Raymond even stepped on the 2012 Miss Chinese International contestants’ dresses and toes during the pageant. Encountering numerous troubles recently, Raymond Lam resorted to the most traditional method: buying red underwear to cleanse himself of bad luck!

Raymond Lam Causes Stir When Buying Red Calvin Klein Briefs

Wearing a winter coat, a cap, and glasses, Raymond Lam appeared at a Calvin Klein store by himself the day before. During the checkout process, Raymond asked the female clerk for 3 boxes of red Calvin Klein briefs in medium size, as well as several packs of white cotton short-sleeved undershirts. Due to his unstoppable ”chok” charisma, Raymond attracted the smiling attention of the surprised saleswomen, who took the opportunity to chat with the idol of millions of people.

On that day, Raymond dressed in a low-key manner, deliberately bringing the visor of his cap close to his face. Faced with the saleswomen’s warm welcome, he reciprocated with his ”chok” smile. During the waiting period, Raymond also went to the women’s underwear section to glance for 1 minute, before returning to his originial spot. Was it possible that Raymond may have considered purchasing a gift for TVB executive, Virginia Lok?

At the request of the shop clerks, Raymond took several photos with them before departing with a shopping bag full of loot. [Spotting the reporter], Raymond appeared to realize that his intention of wearing red underwear to turn his bad luck was discovered. Without saying a word and an embarrassed smile, Raymond boarded a $600,000 HKD 7-passenger Toyota vehicle and left the scene.

Linda Chung: I didn't wash my hands after using restroom

2012-01-24T12:50:00.001+08:00

Linda Chung and Michael Tse attended a Lunar New Year countdown event with rumored couple Fiona Sit and Khalil Fong. When speaking of the scene in L'Escargot, where Michael sucked Linda's bleeding finger from a cut, Linda laughed: "That day, I didn't wash my hands after using the restroom!" Michael responded immediately: "Wah! No wonder that night, I felt so uncomfortable!"

Also present at the event was Fiona who is going to hold her HK Coliseum concert in July, but she will have to first shoot two films and also have to direct the MV to her new song. She's already preparing now. When asked if she'll go send new year greetings at Khalil's house? She said: "Because of work, I can't go." As for Khalil, he is allergic to cats, so won't be going to Fiona's house to send new year greetings because she owns a cat.

Raymond Lam & Kate Tsui Choks away rotten peach blossoms in the Dragon year

2012-01-22T14:18:00.001+08:00

Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui's careers sailed smoothly last year with their wallets swelling up. However, they haven't gotten anywhere in their love lives. Although Raymond did have a girlfriend, the relationship failed to blossom. As for Kate, she suffered from several rumors and has been troubled endlessly. It looks like these two 'siblings' are stuck with a bitter fate and hope the upcoming Dragon year can bring peach blossoms. The two will have to work at posing their Chok looks in hope to Chok away the rotten peach blossoms!

Having both love and career is easier said than done, but when it actually does happen, not everyone can maintain both areas. Raymond and Kate had a smooth sailing career last year. The former developed in all three areas - TV, film and music and even won many big and small awards including the Gold Song Gold Award. Kate had five series release within one year, which has helped increase her popularity. She has been accepting advertisement and stage performance jobs nonstop.

However, the two have not been so successfully in their love lives. Early last year, Raymond suffered from love injuries, while Kate's rumors with Ron Ng never ended. Later, she was even involved in Ron and Viann Zhang's relationship. Although Kate clarified several times, the rumor still is still heated as ever, giving her a huge headache.

In order to escape from the rotten peach blossoms, Raymond and Kate set out together as 'brother-sister' on a several hour ride to a peach blossom garden in Yuen Long in hope to turn their peach blossom fate around. When the two showed up at the garden, they were chatting up a storm and when they saw several hundred patches of peach blossoms, wide smiles were seen across their faces. They each chose their favorite peach blossom tree and did several clockwise runs around the tree, then they embraced the tree and enjoyed the lovely scent from the peach blossoms.

Raymond frankly expressed he hopes to continue developing in the three areas (TV, film and music) in the Dragon year. Because his Gold Song Gold Award stirred up a lot of noise, he will have to put in double the effort to do better. He said: "I will soon be releasing a new Cantonese album, this time I will be collaborating with different musicians and hope to bring new sparks to my fans. Also, I will be starting a new series with my 'sister' (Kate). As for films, I am still looking at the scripts. (What about relationships?) I will let nature take its course. I believe when it comes, it will come and by then I won't be able to avoid it, even if I wanted to."

Kate said: "I am very happy to be able to work with my big brother (Raymond). Later I will be going to Australia with him to be the guest performer at his concert. I have a lot of jobs lined up for the approaching Dragon year. It is necessary that I date someone, but I will have to first choose the right partner, there is no rush."

Raymond Lam, Elaine Ng, Kate Tsui and Ella Koon in new TVB drug series

2012-01-19T09:57:00.000+08:00

Yesterday Raymond Lam, Elaine Ng, Kate Tsui, Ella Koon attended the costume fitting for TVB new series Thunderous Drug Raid. Lead actor Michael Miu was absent because he was busy with other matters.

It turns out that Raymond and Elaine's relationship dates back to when Raymond first debuted and worked as TVB8's host. Back then because of the 'Siu Lung Lui' incident, Raymond was able to interview her: "Over 10 years ago, I interviewed Elaine Ng before. It was that incident, which gave me the only chance to see her. After so many years, she is still my senior after all. (At the time did you speak up during the interview?) Yes, actually it was just a surrounding interview because at the time, there were too many other reporters at the scene." Raymond reveals this is his first time portraying a member in the law enforcement, and is fortunate that shooting starts after the Lunar New Year, giving him time for him to physically train himself.

Elaine's last TVB series was Legal Entanglement (2001), and this will be her comeback series after 10 years. She was asked how she became interested in accepting this series? She said: "A 30 episode story is very good. Also, I've been watching my partner Michael Miu's works since The Fearless Duo (1984), many of my female friends are envious that I get to work with him. They also said Michael's looks are better than the past. (Are there any kiss scenes?) I don't know. We do have a relationship in the series, and have a child after the divorce. (Will you refuse to kiss scenes?) Television is different from film. After all there is a limit. Artists don't really have much that they we don't want to shoot, just as long as its not a kiss scene during the time we eat." When speaking of Raymond once interviewed her in the past, Elaine frankly expressed it's been too long that she can't remember. It's been over 10 years, but she does remember one time they had hot pot in Shanghai.

Kate appeared as a pregnant woman for the costume fitting, she expressed she doesn't know who's baby she's carrying yet because the plot has not been fully confirmed. It is possible she's pretending to be pregnant to traffic drugs. Kate said: "I have the most miserable role in this series. In order to raise my younger brother, I had to sell pirated material and work as a 'boxer' at a bar. Later, I become a known 'Drug Queen'. The role really has a lot of room for development, so I must thank the producer. This Lunar New Year, I will have homework to do, since I need to know how to play the drinking game 'chai mui' and have to use a lot of slang words."

As for Ella Koon, not counting the series she guest starred in, it has been 6 years since she's been in a TVB series. When asked if she had to confirm who her partner was before accepting? Ella said: "I trust TVB's selections, feels quite suitable for me to portray. (Will you avoid series with Ron Ng?) This time I'm very happy to collaborate with Raymond Lam because we never collaborated before. Many of my female friends screamed when they learned about this, I will really have to enjoy these 3 months. (Any kiss scenes?) I don't think so, the story is about me having a crush on Raymond, he later chooses Kate Tsui."

Kelly Cheung of Chicago USA crowned Miss Chinese International 2012

2012-01-16T08:09:00.001+08:00

(Guest Judges: Myolie Wu and Michael Tse; Guest Perfomer: Raymond Lam)
The Miss Chinese International Pageant 2012 was held at TVB City last night. The winner, Kelly Cheung, came from Chicago with looks resembling singer Ava Yu (or Bianca). As for 'Malaysian Fala', Lenna Lim, she had a calm performance and won two awards, but unfortunately in the end she was only the 2nd runner-up. As for Hong Kong representative Rebecca Zhu, she didn't even make it in the top three, and did not follow 1988 Michelle Reis and 2000's Sonija Kwok footsteps to become the third 'HK Produced MCI'.

When the top 10 finalists were announced, the MC Eric Tsang accidentally read Kelly Cheung's (Cheung Hei Man) wrong, and called her 'Chan Hei Man' instead. Then Eric made a mistake again and read Rebecca Zhu (Zhu San Lai) as 'Chan San Lai'.

During the Question and Answer part, Roro Chen (#12) of London was asked what type of person would she choose to eat? She said: "Bad people." When Eric kept asking why she chose bad people? She boldly mocked Eric: "Little people, just like you." Everyone in the studio started laughing.

Lenna Lim appeared the most calm the entire night and hit bingo on one attack. On the contrary, Rebecca Zhu was quite nervous that she might answer the question wrong and lost a lot of points from there.

When the top 3 finalists were announced, Maggie Yu (#25) of Dalian stepped on Jasmine Hayter (#15) of New York's dress and almost made her trip. Fortunately Jasmine was able to put her dress back up and dodge a potential accident.

Guest performer Raymond Lam led the 28 contestants out on stage with a medley of 4 songs, including his Gold Song Gold Award winning song CHOK. Raymond fears heights, but at the start of the show, he was suspended in a cage 3 storeys up in the air. He frankly said he was so frightened, he started shaking. However, it appeared he was still able to maintain his signature CHOK look. After the performance, Raymond was somewhat out of breath as he did the interview: "During rehearsal, there was a problem with the safety buckle, but fortunately it was not dangerous. When bringing out the 28 contestants, I had too many positions and started to get confused."

Miss Chinese International Pageant 2012 (Winners List)

Winner: Kelly Cheung 張曦雯 (Chicago, USA), #11

1st Runner Up: Cheryl Wee 黃馨慧 (Singapore), #9

Charmaine Li & Ricky Fan's wedding, to have a Dragon baby 12 years later

2012-01-16T07:58:00.001+08:00

Charmaine Li and DJ Ricky Fan held their wedding banquet at the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong. The bridemaids and groomsmen included Linda Chung, Janet Chow, Vivien Yeo, DJ Bob and Eddie Ng. The newly wedded couple followed reporters' instructions and did a kiss at an angle, but appeared quite embarrassed.

The bride, Charmaine Li was dressed in a sexy wedding dress pushing up her chest area. She said: "Earlier when we were married in Guam, it was very romantic. Today it is our first friend gathering, very happy and lively. (Rushing to have a Dragon baby?) I'm ready! But, I want to enjoy a two-person world first and later I will have to get back into filming series. After I complete the jobs I'm working on now, we will be going on our honeymoon late March to Europe."

Ricky sighed heavily that it was a disaster for him when he was picking up his bride. He said: "They were playing me so much, I started sweating. I had to use my toe to pick up mahjong pieces in the ice and the groomsmen had to carry me. I had to kiss 8 photos of my wife while doing a hand stand. (In a hurry to have babies?) I'm in a hurry every day to be a better person. My wife is still young, we will rush to have a Dragon baby 12 years later."

Linda Chung will marry at age 30

It's Linda's first time being a bridesmaid, she expressed she's desperate to marry too. She said: "I've known Charmaine for 6 years. I witnessed the couple from the time they started dating up until now when they are married. (When is it your turn to admit your relationship?) It is normal to have friend gatherings, and when taking pictures, of course would have arms around shoulders. (You'll admit when you get marry?) No. I really want to find a good and responsible man that I can spend the rest of my life and marry at age 30. I still have 3 more years, can't force it! (Is your love life going smoothly?) I am living a happy life now. (Philip Ng hasn't proposed to you?) Let's stick to the newly wedded couple, I hope they can have a Dragon baby."

Kate Tsui researches on how to do drugs for new series

2012-01-15T08:38:00.001+08:00

Last night, Kate Tsui and Raymond Lam were recording for the TVB and GDTV (Guangdong TV) joint collaboration Guangzhou Chinese New Year Celebration in Guangzhou. She performed hot singing and dancing at the event. Kate reveals for her new series, she will be playing a drug dealer and boxer. There may be scenes where she is taking drugs, so she is starting to research on how to play the role. At first when Kate heard she had to play a boxer, she thought she had to do boxing, but later she learned the so-called 'boxer' is actually the 'boxer' in a bar. As she is allergic to alcohol and don't know how to play the drinking game involving number guessing ("chai mui"), she needed a professional 'boxer' to teach her. Kate said: "Raymond Lam volunteered to teach me how to play the drinking game. He praised that I was smart and a fast learner."

Raymond declines to shaking hands with Fuk Luk Sau

Raymond's song CHOK was 'forced' to get the Gold Song Gold Award and had been suffering attacks since then. Even his colleagues from the same company, 'Fuk Luk Sau' indirectly criticized him. Johnson Lee said: "I rather not get the award if its forced." The other night, Fuk Luk Sau and Raymond were doing the CNY show together and it seems as if Raymond minded the criticism as he gave all artists on stage a handshake and hug except for Fuk Luk Sau, which he maintained his distance.

When the MC invited Raymond out on stage, he didn't come out until a minute later. The MC teased him: "This show will broadcast on CNY eve, at that time we can tell friends, Raymond Lam doesn't come out until a minute later." Later, Raymond shook hands with all the artists on stage, except for the Fuk Luk Sau, instead they just pointed fingers at each other. Regarding Johnson's indirect criticisms on his Gold Song Gold Award? Raymond said: "We are both under the same company, I don't mind. As an artist, we can only provide entertainment and do own parts to repay the people that support us." The other day, Jacky Cheung expressed the music scene is dead, Raymond said Jacky did not say that: "Some reports twisted Jacky's words just to make the news entertaining, but don't go too far. I know Sandy Lam praised that I am an all-around artist, I really want to thank her."

Raymond was dressed in a tight black suit and tie, singing and dancing to CHOK and One More Time. Since his pants were too tight, when he was dancing, he was really stretching out the pants, making people feel worried that his pants may 'burst' any second. After the performance, Raymond laughed and said he really feared the pants would rip: "Because of the Lunar New Year, I wanted to dress a little more formal and come out as streak. This wasn't deliberate." Raymond will soon be working with Michael Miu and Kate Tsui on new series Thunderous Drug Raid, where he plays an officer in the law enforcement. He will have many action scenes and when the time comes, he hopes his pants won't rip.

Raymond Lam's award for CHOK controversy continues

2012-01-13T09:50:00.001+08:00

Yesterday TVB Executive Chairman, Dr. Norman Leung led TVB Resource Director Virgina Lok, Siu Sang Raymond Lam and the 28 Miss Chinese International Pageant (MCI) contestants for the opening ceremony of the newly constructed SKY ZONE. Depending on CHOK, Raymond Lam won the 'Gold Song Gold Award' earlier at the JSG Best Ten Music Awards, which has been controversial. Eason Chan even joked about it, yesterday Raymond expressed during an interview: "Actually in private, I am pretty good friends with him (Eason). Basically it is nothing, don't make it a big deal."

This year Raymond will be a guest performer at the MCI and will be doing hot dances with the contestants. Asked if Raymond has a contestant that he supports? He said: "Today is the first day I've seen them, haven't looked clearly. However, many of them are tall. The dance instructor asked me if it was necessarily for me to wear heels, so I can look taller."

Responses to the CHOK controversy

Virgina Lok was asked about her favorite 'son' Raymond Lam's award controversy, she said: "Perhaps this is related to his management contract with TVB, but according to the votes, he is among the best ranked. If we fear of gossips and don't give him the award, then that is unfair to Raymond. We have to safeguard JSG's system."

Regarding Raymond's CHOK, good friend Kate Tsui attended another event yesterday and expressed the song is good. She said: "I was there while he was shooting the MV, the song is pretty good."

'Fuk Luk Sau' member Johnson Lee was asked about 'Sober Band' Moses Chan, Bowie Lam and Kenny Wong's When Heaven Burns' sub theme Youth Ignorance charging up on the JSG charts, becoming their opponent, Johnson blurted out: "If we are forced to win an award, then I rather not get it." Johnson's comment seems as if he's indirectly criticizing Raymond Lam. He later fixed what he said: "If we beat Sober Band, then that wouldn't be too good! They are our seniors."

Jacky Cheung: Award must be deserved

As for Raymond's idol, Jacky Cheung, when asked about CHOK, he admitted he's out: "This year, I haven't listened to that many songs, so I don't know this song. I already said many times, the most important thing in the music scene is the music. The awards are not just presented to the people of Hong Kong, but also to other people in other areas, they can watch too. Therefore for each award ceremony, people must feel convinced, otherwise that award ceremony will less likely be accepted. I also want to correct the thoughts of some singers, thinking it's good to get awards, but the award must be deserved, otherwise it is meaningless. If each person finishes listening to the winning song, and have doubts that something is wrong with their ears, but don't go make changes, the feeling is strange. I am still in the music scene, so I hope one day the sorrows will turn into joy and we all can think back over it."

TVB's big plans revealed

Also, at the event Norman Leung revealed TVB's big plans. He expressed TVB will be purchasing 15,000 square meters of land in Tseung Kwan O in preparation for the construction of a new building in 2015. The building will be able to hold several thousand people and large-scale Variety Shows can be performed in there. The investment reaches HK$1 billion.

Raymond Lam supports CHOK's outstanding lyrics and arrangement

2012-01-11T11:19:00.001+08:00

Raymond Lam won the 'Gold Song Gold Award' for CHOK, which have led to a lot of Netizens displeased. Even Moses Chan and Wong He expressed they haven't heard of the song. Sandy Lam expressed she never heard Raymond's songs before.

Yesterday Raymond attended an event and expressed his opinion: "Artists are very passive, each company has their own mechanism. Each year, I carry a joyous mood to the award ceremonies, but the news are unpredictable. After all as an artist, it's best to just do my own part. CHOK is not an avenue song, but to me it is a new try, new style and I'm surprised that it got an award. However, for a fast song it is indeed outstanding. The melody, arrangement, lyrics and the whole team matches quite well. (Is your next aim to get the 'Male Singer Award'?) Haha! In 50 years!" It was said CHOK cannot compare to the gold songs from the past, Raymond felt CHOK really isn't a main stream song, the song name originated from Hong Kong, he just hopes everyone will give it a sympathetic response.

Raymond generously accepts opinions from the public and does not feel he's being hurt: "Artists do not care about personal opinion, the work done is for everyone to enjoy." Asked if TVB feels the more love they give him, the more its hurting him? Raymond said: "It has never been like that. Sandy Lam haven't heard my songs before? They are all my seniors, the people in the same industry will understand the rules."

JSG Best Ten Music Awards Presentation 2011 Results

2012-01-09T09:00:00.001+08:00

Last night, TVB's JSG Best Ten Music Awards Presentation 2011 unveiled the last report card in the music scene. Although the Big 4 royalty disputes are over, Eason Chan, Hacken Lee, Kay Tse and the other singers were unable to make it on the JSG charts in time to be part of the awards. Last night, the Big 4 singers won nothing. Also, Miriam Yeung had no contract with TVB, so under the situation of no competitors, Leo Ku and Joey Yung successfully crowned Music King and Queen once again. Joey and Raymond Lam were the big winners of the night with a total of 4 awards.

This is Joey's 7th time getting the 'Most Popular Female Singer Award' and holds a strong record in history. When Joey got the award from her award presenter, Hacken Lee, she said excitedly: "Wah! Hacken Lee, you came back. I'm very happy to get this award from you!"

Leo won 2 awards including the 'Most Popular Male Singer Award'. He is now tied with record holder Alam Tam (1984-1987) for the award, both got it 4 times. Leo announced before that he will no longer get any awards, he said thankfully: "I really like working with music. I put in my best effort each year and hope to show all the hard work we have done in the award ceremonies. However, in the last two years, we are often more concerned of who is competing with who or which companies are wrestling and less focus is given on the hard work of us singers. I started feeling distinct from participating in award ceremonies, but I see my colleagues get excited on their achievements. Each year at fan gatherings, I would take my award with me and take pictures with the fans, I see how happy my fans are, so I know awards are still very important."

Raymond Lam happy to recommend Kevin Cheng into EEG

2012-01-09T08:47:00.000+08:00

Earlier Kevin Cheng was said to have secretly met with EEG executive to sign a contract, but because Raymond Lam established himself a stable position in the company, he tried to stop Kevin from entering EEG. Kevin was forced to ask his partner Myolie Wu, who is currently under Neway Star, to help him get into Neway and fulfill his singer dream. The other night Raymond attended RTHK's music awards and was asked about the rumor. He laughed out loud and cracked a joke in his response: "Why would that be?! This report is pretty funny! Do I look like a mean person?"

Later Raymond said seriously that in the past when he went to karaoke, he would definitely choose Kevin's songs. He said aside from their relationship being TVB colleagues, they are also good brothers. In the past, they were both students of the late music teacher Dai Si Chung. All along, Raymond had thought Kevin was already with a record company, but now he knows he's not. Raymond expressed if there really is interest to invite Kevin into EEG, he would personally recommend him as well.

Linda Chung denies 4 year secret relationship with Philip Ng

2012-01-07T07:49:00.001+08:00

(Linda and Philip on the far right)
Linda chung and Philip Ng have been rumored for several years. Recently a reader sent a photo to the media of Philip with his arm around Linda's shoulder at a Karaoke. At the time, divorced couple Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung were also there. It was said Philip and Linda have been in a secret relationship for 4 years.

Linda was asked about the intimate photo between her and Philip? She said it is probably an old photo taken from before. "Besides shooting series, I often attend friends birthday parties and gatherings. It is very normal to put arms around shoulders. Perhaps my series L'Escargot just released and I rarely have any news, so they're trying to help me promote." When asked about the rumor that she and Philip have secretly been in touch for 4 years, are they a couple? Linda said: "We are friends. Since I debuted until now, I have always had a low-profile personal life. I hope to maintain some privacy for each one of my friends. You all can place the focus on my work, don't need to feel impatient for me on my love life. When I have good news, I will announce."
