Andy use "tai-chi" to avoid talking about Carol Choo

Andy use "tai-chi" to avoid talking about Carol Choo

As the rescue work intensifies for the Sichuan earthquake, Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild contacted TVB, ATV, RTHK, Commercial Radio and Metro Radio which sent a total of 20 representatives to attend a meeting to discuss on how they could do their part for the victims. After hours of discussion, they had decided to name their activity as "512 Concern Action" (literally translated), first thing they will be recording the theme song at RTHK tonight.

The committees members of the guild that attended include Eric Tsang, Alan Tam and Andy Lau as they urge all Hong Kong artistes to meet at RTHK between 9 pm to 12 midnight for recording of the song. The song used will be Beyond's 'Hai Kuo Tian Kong' where the lyrics will be re-composed by Wong Ka Keung and Andy, the singers will be wearing T-shirts with the wordings of "512 Concern Action" written by Kenny Bee.

They will be still continue to study how could they raise funds, examples are holding fund raising events this weekend at major shopping malls and they hope that all citizens would donate. Eric Tsang will be the host for this Saturday's TVB fund raising program as the guild will fully take part and support the event.



Other than Ka Keung, Andy Lau was also asked to write the lyrics, Ka Keung said: "It doesn't matter, the organizer will make their decision, anyway it's already enough to do my part for charity." He expressed that he wrote the lyrics in Chinese which is much simpler than Cantonese lyrics. Ka Keung whom had friends staying in Chongqing, with the earthquake, he was worried and kept sending SMS messages to his friend and finally managed to get in contact with his friend and been told of the seriousness of the earthquake which saddened him, especially those orphans but he could do nothing to help thus he would do all his best to help the victims.

After the guild meeting, Andy rushed off for the recording of Jade Solid Gold where Shirley Kwan, Hins Cheng, Jason Chan also attended the recording. Andy expressed that they only completed half the discussion as they would continue for more discussion. When asked about writing the lyrics for the theme song, he expressed that he's just one of them, it's not suitable to reveal other names. Since the earthquake, he immediately donated $1000,000, but he had to work in Qingdao on Saturday thus he's unable to attend the fund raising event on Saturday, thus he would pre-record a video to urge for donations.



Andy feel that the help to the victims will be a long process, like the illness, mental consultation, education and reconstruction of the buildings, take the previous Taiwan earthquake, it need 5-6 years before everything return to normal.

He think that most important now is to rescue people and not visiting them, even now the medical items are unable to be sent to the site, thus should not hinder normal rescue works.

He pointed out that artists can only play the role of moral support, the guild hope that to have a long time plan to help the victims.

Recently a magazine published news of him attending Carol Choo's sister wedding and described him as "brother-in-law", he quipped: "I won't answer questions on my private life."

With regards to the online alleged photographs of his 15-years-old twin daughters are actually photograph of a Singaporean pop group BY2, he said: "I don't understand why there are so many allegations and guesses, I think everyone should stop asking."



BY2 are a pop group whom are 16-years-old this year, they entered showbiz by joining singing training classes when they're 13-years-old. When reporters rectified with BY2 record company Ocean Butterflies, it's confirmed that the alleged photographs are BY2 when they're young. The promotion manager of Ocean Butterflies, Miss Hsu said: "We were surprised when we saw the published photographs, these photographs are BY2 when they are young, when they first joined the company, we did asked these photographs from their mother for our database. We're not sure how these photographs are leaked." Miss Hsu does not discard the possibility that the photographs are leaked from Ocean Butterflies, she said: "We are still investigating, maybe the photographs were distributed to other departments thus causing them to be leaked." When asked if the Mainland China office is trying to help BY2 gain some popularity by creating the news, Miss Hsu expressed: "Currently we are unable to contact our colleagues in Mainland China, thus we could not comment on this."

Currently BY2 are promoting their new song in Taiwan, initially an unknown group gained fame overnight, all thanks to their "alleged father".

Overage angiosclerosis, Jay Chou wants to marry early

Overage angiosclerosis, Jay Chou wants to marry early

Jay Chou was very saddened seeing the mass casualties from the earthquake in Sichuan, in February this year he went for a full body check up, unexpectedly it showed he had signs of overage "angiosclerosis" (hardening of the walls of blood vessels), he has started thinking about the importance of life and health, his views on marriage and eating habits has also dramatically changed, now the life plan he set for himself has changed to getting married early at 35 and retreating to the background.

Yesterday afternoon Jay Chou appeared with a rock look, he attended the press conference for the new Motorokr E8 being held at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Taipei, the matter everyone was most worried about was the situation in Sichuan, he expressed, he only just held a press conference for his concert in Sichuan just last week, on the day of the earthquake he finished work in Guangzhou and headed back to Taiwan, mother Chou has already immediately donated 500,000 yuan in place of him to the primary school in Liangping, if they continue donating they'll consider making it public because they hope they can make everyone else do the same.

As to whether the concert in Chongqing has changed, Jay Chou said: "I'll have to see what the Mainland China organisers decide, they are holding emergency meetings because fans have already bought tickets, I don't know if it will be delayed or changed to something else."

As for the rumour recently that he gave a car as a present to his rumoured girlfriend, Jay Chou shook his head and denied that he liked to give cars to girls he likes, he said: "If I really like her then I'll get married! I'm 30 now, if it's like this the age difference wouldn't be too big with children." Suddenly he revealed his urge to "get married", and he sighed that his "body strength is nothing like it was", he said: "In the past after each concert finished, I would have fun with Dantou and the others all night long celebrating, now after I finish singing all I want to do is go back to the hotel to sleep."

In fact Jay Chou listened to Yang Jun Rong's suggestion in February, he went to the hospital for a full body check up and unexpectedly he got the warning of "angiosclerosis", he said: "The doctor said the degree of my angiosclerosis is about the same as at my mother's age, maybe it's because of too much fried and roasted food."

The check up also changed Jay Chou's "views on marriage", after he finds a new girlfriend, he'll consider whether she is suitable for marriage, originally he planned to get married at 37 and now that has been moved 2 years forward to 35, not only this but he will consider retreating to the background after marriage.

Kelly Chen: Sometimes Lonely

Kelly Chen: Sometimes Lonely

Kelly will be releasing her new Cantonese album and her first single "Sorry, Audrey Hepburn was in the top 10 placings in the airplay chart of all HK radio stations. Her next single "Sometimes Lonely" is also a big difference to her usual songs.

The new single is composed, arranged and produced by Mark Lui. Kelly said that this is her favorite song in the album and is unlike her usual ballads and sounds cool. The song describes the fun of being lonely may not be understood by everyone. However, everyone will have times of loneliness. She added that she sometimes enjoy being alone as there are alot of things which she can do. Everyone should have their own personal time.

Currently, Kelly is rehearsing for her concert in June. The organisers had spent over a million dollars to import 8 sets of latest projectors from Australia to project the different imaginary worlds on the stage. They are planning to construct a 4-5 storey high 360 degrees screen on the stage. The best seats to experience the visual effects will actually be those seated at the top end. The production crew for the projection setup had previously done the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The team will be in HK in mid May to hold a meeting. As this is the first time that such special equipment is used in concert in HK, it was necessary for them to have a one week slot to do testing.

Kirin replaces Kumi Koda with Kyoko Fukada

Kirin replaces Kumi Koda with Kyoko Fukada

Kirin Brewery Corp has canceled its contract with singer Kumi Koda, 25, for its TV ad for the alcoholic drink “Hyoketsu,” and will instead use actress Kyoko Fukada, 25.

A Kirin spokesman said: “The contract with her was originally valid until this spring, and we have decided not to renew it.” Kirin has already suspended its earlier TV ads featuring Koda ever since she told a radio program on Jan 30 that “women over 35 had ‘rotten’ fluid in their wombs.”

So, I guess they probably thought when buyers consume the product, they would probably think of the rotten fluid inside a womb while drinking the brand
