Faye Wong, Yu Quan, Jam Hsiao (Siu King Tung) and Gary Chaw (Cho Gat) performed in memory of Teresa Teng Lai Kwan. When Faye Wong went on the stage she tripped and almost fell.

Faye Wong performed 4 songs, BREEZE AND DRIZZLE, QINGPING DIAO, PLACE OF FIRST LOVE and ALONE TO THE WEST CHAMBER. QINGPING DIAO was Tang Lai Kwan's final song. On the stage Tang Lai Kwan's performance was played first, then Faye Wong sang with her. When Faye Wong performed ALONE TO THE WEST CHAMBER, she had a sentimental narration with subtitles. "She (Tang Lai Kwan) was the teacher who introduced me to music". Faye Wong sang 4 songs and as usual did not speak at all.

Yu Hao Ming dismisses 'heroic' claims

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:54:00 +0000

The Chinese actor said that he does not remember 'saving Selina' during the filming accident three years ago
While speaking to the media recently, Chinese actor Yu Haoming recalled the traumatic filming accident in Shanghai three years ago that left Taiwanese singer Selina Jen and himself with severe burns on their bodies. Although reports have always depicted Yaoming as the 'hero', the 25-year-old clarified during the interview that the impact of the explosion was too strong for him to 'save Selina'.

After the accident, Selina was even berated by Haoming's fans who heard that their idol suffered second degree burns on 39 percent of his body because of his heroic act to 'protect' the S.H.E member.

Stepping forward to clear the air three years on, Haoming emphasised that it was impossible for him to react at the time. He further explained that the actual details of the accident were revealed by the footage recorded by the cameraman and that the misunderstanding was caused by media reports.

Although Selina is recovering well from her burn wounds, the singer remains psychologically scarred by the terrifying accident. It is believed that her record company did not refute the claims back then to protect Haoming from more harm.

In a recent interview, the S.H.E member also mentioned that she is still in touch with the actor and that they often encourage each other via their microblogs. When asked about the chances of Selina taking on acting projects in future, her record company said that the 31-year-old is currently focusing on her singing and hosting career.

Ethan Ruan's manager wants to withdraw from co-owned company

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 19 May 2013 16:24:00 +0000

Trouble's brewing for Ethan Ruan and his partner just two months after the company's establishment
After his discharge from the military, Ethan Ruan officially announced the formation of his new artist management company, Tian Liang, in March. The other shareholders of the firm include Taiwanese director Doze Niu and Taiwan filmmaker Lee Lieh who is also his manager. Barely two months later, rumour has it that Lee Lieh is having thoughts of withdrawing from the partnership due to her unhappiness with Ethan's behaviour.

The trio became close friends after working together on hit movie Monga, which also won Ethan his first Best Actor trophy at the Golden Horse Awards that year.

However, sources revealed that Ethan's actions have caused much displeasure with Lee Lieh lately. An insider claimed that the actor often kept his schedule and whereabouts a secret from his manager, who once only found out about his assignment one day before the actual event. Ethan was also said to have ignored her when she recommended job offers too.

In addition, Ethan reportedly demanded for astronomical fees while liaising for commercials on his own, which caused the disappointed Lee Lieh to consider leaving the company.

In response to the claims, Lee Lieh, who is currently in Venice, denied that she has fallen out with Ethan and said, 'All these rumours are crap!'

'It was my company which invested [in Tian Liang] and not a personal investment by me. I am still his manager,' she clarified.

Lee Lieh further explained that she discusses Ethan's schedule with his assistant and not with the actor directly, and that it is 'impossible' for her not to know about his assignments.

The Taiwanese singer-actress wrote a song in her debut album for her ex-boyfriend who is currently serving time in prison
Following the release of her first album Me, Myself and I recently, Taiwanese singer-actress Michelle Chen's past relationship came to light as it was revealed that she penned the lyrics to the song '˜Sorry' for her ex-boyfriend Aron, who is currently serving a 16-year jail sentence.

The track, which Michelle described as 'a song filled with guilt', was previously speculated to be written for Alan Kuo whom she secretly dated for eight months.

Michelle and Aron reportedly met when they were studying in the United States. The ex-couple returned to Taiwan in 2006 and eventually broke up as a result of the actress' decision to pursue a showbiz career.

An insider also claimed that Aron, who is said to be born in a rich family, fell under the influence of bad friends after splitting with Michelle. Unfamiliar with the Taiwanese laws, the kind-hearted lad was manipulated by his new '˜friends' and was subsequently sentenced to imprisonment for marijuana possession.

According to media reports, Aron was very 'touched and thankful' when he heard that Michelle has written a song for him. In order to protect his ex-girlfriend's image, he did not mention about the relationship to anyone for the past four years in jail, declining to discuss further details with the media after it was exposed.

Michelle's manager has also declined to comment on the artiste's personal affairs.

As part of their divorce agreement, David reportedly promised Baoshan an annual alimony of NT$2 million (approximately S$80,000) on top of a luxurious condominium worth NT$10 million (S$410,000).

Responding to the claims for the first time, the Taiwanese singer denied his marriage with Baoshan and said, 'I won't comment about gossips and reports that are untrue, or else there won't be an end to it.'

She was diagnosed with the fourth stage of lung cancer in September 2011
After recovering from the second stage of colorectal cancer after undergoing surgery four years ago, Makiyo's mum was diagnosed with the fourth stage of lung cancer in September 2011. On May 3, she decided to stop chemotherapy treatment after suffering sensitive reactions and decided to seek help from a Chinese physician who informed her that she was only left with four months to live.

The mother and daughter were seen at the clinic on Monday afternoon where Makiyo's mum spoke on her condition, 'I'm not counting the days despite what the doctor told me. I don't feel ill and I live normally every day.'

However, she expressed her utmost concern for Makiyo's well-being and hoped that her daughter would find an older and capable man who can take care of her.

The Taiwanese-based artiste's career hit rock bottom after she was embroiled in a taxi driver assault case with her Japanese boyfriend Takateru Tomoyori last February. At the time, Makiyo's mum had stepped forward and apologised to the public on her daughter's behalf, in spite of her health condition.

When asked if she still keeps in touch with Tomoyori, Makiyo said, 'Rarely!'

Makiyo's mum's disapproval for her daughter's relationship with Tomoyori was apparent as she quickly added, saying, 'If she is still together with him, I'd rather die!'

Jacky Wu publicly apologises to undergraduate

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 11 May 2013 01:57:00 +0000

The veteran Taiwanese host has been vacated of his charge for the assault case involving a group of undergraduates
The alleged assault case between Jacky Wu and undergraduate Chen Yu-Feng was resolved after the veteran Taiwanese host personally apologised to the victim at the Taipei District Court yesterday.

Earlier in February, Jacky and other celebrities such as Elva Hsiao and Kai Ko, got into a scuffle at a noodle house with a group of undergraduates, whom they mistook for the paparazzi. Yu-Feng was sent to the hospital with a bleeding lip after Jacky punched him in the face while the latter suffered a blow to the nose and a bruised face. Both parties then sued each other for assault.

After stepping out of court with his charge rescinded, Jacky gave a hug to Yu-Feng before the reporters and made a public apology to the undergraduate. He said, 'I was the one who hit Yu-Feng first and he did not retaliate at all.'

'Earlier media reports which were misconstrued due to my words have hurt Yu-Feng and I'd like to apologise to him in public,' he continued.

Facing the possibility of having his current programs removed due to low ratings, Jacky, whose popularity is on a downward spiral in recent years, is also rumoured to be shifting his career focus to China. He will reportedly head to Shanghai for two hosting jobs in July.

According to the Taiwanese media, David Tao, 44, and model Jian Baoshan, who is 16 years his junior, secretly got married in January 2011 and were divorced one year after their wedding in May 2012.

Sources revealed that the couple separated due to personality differences and frequent quarrels. In addition, reports also claimed that Baoshan was a model for a hotel's commercial photoshoot where she wore thick makeup and struck sexy poses in revealing clothes. David was said to have initiated the divorce as he was very unhappy with his wife's modelling career.

However, he only began divorce negotiations with Baoshan last December after recovering from the loss of his dad, late veteran entertainer Tao Dawei, in September.

Both David and Baoshan have apparently signed the divorce agreement which will promise the model an annual alimony of NT$2 million (approximately S$80,000) and a condominium unit worth NT$10 million (S$410,000).

David, who is currently preparing for his Shanghai concerts in Taiwan, has declined to comment on the rumours.

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 08 May 2013 23:04:00 +0000

Her manager clarified that the singer will continue singing even if she does stop releasing albums
Veteran Taiwanese singer Jody Chiang's first album in three years, Run Away, is speculated to be her final release after 32 years in the music industry.

Reports stated that Jody did not mention her plans to release subsequent albums this time, unlike in the past where she would eagerly do so. It is believed that her decision to stop releasing physical albums is due to the rampant piracy issues in recent years and the lack of musical direction.

Although her manager did not deny the claims while speaking to the media yesterday, he emphasised that 'ceasing CD releases does not mean that she will quit singing altogether'. He also revealed that the singer was previously uncontactable for two weeks during the recording of her latest album.

At her recent music video shoot which was filmed during low temperatures at the seaside in Jinshan and Tamshui, Jody took photos of her crew and said, 'Everyone is so hardworking. I'm so touched!'

Dubbed as the Queen of Taiwanese music, Jody released a total of 63 albums in her singing career, including Jiu Hou De Xin Sheng which sold over 1.16 million copies, a record yet to be broken.

Jam previously spent NT$200,000 (approximately S$8,360) on a set of children's books as a gift for the one year and eight months old Kaitlin, who is his god-daughter. In order to repay his kindness, Kelly and Chris offered to buy Jam a refrigerator, television and washing machine for his new home.

Jam's manager then hinted that the singer also intends to install a television in his kitchen, bedroom and even bathroom. Chris immediately agreed, asking him to leave it up to him.

Kelly was initially worried that her daughter would not be comfortable in the new environment when they brought her to Jam's house, but Kaitlin adapted to the place very quickly and happily explored the house while crawling around. Jam continuously took photos of Kaitlin as he attempted to capture the child's every move.

After witnessing Jam's love for his god-daughter, Kelly jokingly asked, 'Did you have a room reserved for Kaitlin in your new house?'

The 26-year-old who is known for his love for kids generously replied, 'I will not only give her a room, but also a whole house in the future!'

Jam reportedly owns three properties worth a total of NT$160 million (approximately S$6.8 million).

The Taiwanese veteran artiste shows her admiration for Liliy's determination to quit drugs and smoking
Taiwanese veteran artiste Fang Fang publicly showed her support and encouragement for Taiwanese artiste Liliy Hsiao Shu Shen recently.

While delivering her thank-you speech to the audience at the end of the show, Fang Fang referred to Liliy and said, 'As a heavy smoker, it's really hard for me to quit smoking now. But there is one artiste who is here with us today, who has not only successfully quitted drugs, but also smoking,' inviting a standing ovation from the audience as they cheered Liliy on.

After that, the two met each other backstage and Fang Fang told Liliy, 'If you can overcome all these obstacles and survive the difficult times, you will be able to stand up on your feet again and earn a positive image. But before you achieve that, you still have a long and hard way to go.'

Touched by the veteran actor's encouragement and concern for her, Liliy replied in tears, 'I really feel like giving up at times and I don't wish to continue this tough journey, but so many seniors in the industry have shown me their love and encouragement, I can't even describe what I'm feeling right now.'

The 36-year-old served one year and seven months in jail for drug abuse and was released in July last year. Reflecting on her past actions and behaviour, Liliy felt extremely remorseful and was determined to learn acting from Fang Fang. However, Fang Fang told her that she avoids teaching her friends because she tends to be very strict.

Determined to return to the showbiz, Liliy resorted to extreme dieting methods such as starving herself after being released from jail. She lost 26kg in less than a year, ignoring health issues such as anorexia and gastric problems. Concerned about Liliy's health, Fang Fang also told her that she is 'too skinny' and advised her to eat more.

Show Luo's rumoured association with wealthy Singapore fan

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 04 May 2013 01:35:00 +0000

The Taiwanese singer is reportedly on close terms with a local fan who denied the rumours by showing a photo of her real boyfriend
Rumour has it that Show Luo befriended a wealthy Singapore fan named Weny, when he was in town for his concert in March, and that the two have secretly met up in Maldives where the singer vacationed at after his trip here.

Show is also said to have actively sent her text messages, personally inviting her to visit Taiwan. Weny, who uploaded a photo of her trip to Show's boutique later that month, often posted photos of items that resemble the singer's belongings on her Instagram account, such as leopard-print pillows and caps from reknowned streetwear brands.

More speculations arose after her holiday in Taiwan, following her post which shows a large number of toy bears in the picture. Netizens pointed out that the background is very similar to a photo of Show's home that was previously uploaded by the singer, suggesting that Weny might have visited his personal abode during the trip.

In addition, one of her photos also showed a man whose identity was hidden as his head was cropped off the image. Sources revealed that the Bvlgari necklace worn by the person in the picture was similar to the one Show's late father had given to the singer.

The many coincidences drew attention to Show's relationship with Weny who quickly posted the original image showing the face of her real boyfriend, to defend her idol.

Show expressed his unhappiness at the false rumours with sarcasm, saying, 'You guys are so '˜good' at shooting people! Luckily I have my bulletproof vest on, ha-ha!'

'Please look carefully. Just because I have the same clothes or necklace doesn't mean I am the person [in the photo]!' he added.

Commenting that Roy resembles Japanese AV idol Yoshiya Minami in the photo, netizens teased Roy and commented that he could act as Yoshiya's stand-in.

Roy's manager clarified that the photo, taken by renowned photographer Leslie Kee in 2006, was included in the photobook Super Stars by Leslie Kee specially published to raise funds for the 2004 South Asian Tsunami disaster. Other stars featured in the photobook include A-list stars such as Nicholas Tse, Daniel Wu, Aaron Kwok and Edison Chen.

Roy's nude photo did not attract much attention when it was first released as he was serving the army back then. Commenting on the buzz that the photo has created recently, the 31-year-old's manager emphasised that Roy agreed to be photographed in the nude because of the charitable cause behind it.

The Taiwanese actor admitted that his girlfriend gave birth to their daughter on Apr 12
Last Thursday, Taiwanese actor James Wen finally announced via his manager that his long-time girlfriend Xiao Jun gave birth to their baby girl who weighed 3kg on Apr 12. At an event yesterday, the first-time dad, who previously said that the couple has no plans to tie the knot, let on that many netizens have criticised him for being “irresponsible”.

In response to the backlash, James claimed that Xiao Jun is “very angry” and has plans to release a statement to clarify.The Fierce Wife star emphasised that each family has their own lifestyle and said, “How would I be together with the same person for nearly 20 years if I am irresponsible?”

“Please take a look at your own love affairs before judging me. How many people can as faithful as me?” he added, saying that both their parents did not insist that the couple get married as they are very open-minded.

When asked on his marriage plans, James answered that he is “waiting for her to pop the question”, quickly stating that Xiao Jun is not overly concerned about the issue when he brought up the topic previously.

Singing praises of his girlfriend for her down-to-earth personality, the actor said, “She doesn’t ask for much. Everyone around me gives a thumbs up when talking about her.”

Further pressed by the reporters on his reasons for delaying the marriage even after their first child is born, the actor gave another shocking reply, saying, “Can’t I adopt her?”

While speaking to the media about his newborn daughter, fondly known as “Little Sunny Day”, James mentioned that her fleshy nose resembles his. The proud daddy also explained the nickname by saying that the couple hopes for her to be positive and bright.

Sharing on his experience accompanying his girlfriend throughout the delivery process, James said that Xiao Jun had to endure 10 hours of labour contractions before giving birth naturally.

“My tears couldn’t stop flowing the moment I heard the baby’s cries,” he recalled.

The actor was earlier said to have hidden the news, fearing that it might ruin his ‘idol image’. The 35-year-old, however, refuted the claims yesterday and maintained that he did not announce the good news because of his girlfriend’s wish to remain low profile about their personal life.
