Weibird Wei becomes a substitute DJ

After completing his alternative services last December, Weibird Wei is already busy promoting his upcoming movie, “The Bird Who Saved The World”, which will premiere on March 30th.

A few days ago, he filled in for Waa Wei on her radio show. Although he usually goes to bed at 10pm, he became more and more hyper as the night progressed. When he was playing a song from Coldplay, he even danced to the music and sang along where his voice cracked. Many fans asked on the web, “Is he drunk?”

During the show, he did not forget to remind his listeners about the European debt crisis as well as to be careful of mad cow disease. However, the hundreds of fans that were originally supporting him and discussing about his show on PTT suddenly left in an instant while he talked about the issues. Nonetheless, the fans complimented on his performance.

An Umbrella falls onto Richie Jen and Gigi Leung's Premiere

The film THE ALLURE OF TEARS (KING SING JI LUEN) premiere took place two nights ago. Attending actors included Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Gigi Leung Wing Kei, Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting) and Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui and others. Three days ago was Lee Chi Ting's 25th birthday and the event celebrated with cake. During the event, an umbrella fell from above and the actors all jumped back in fright. Luckily no one was hurt. Later Siu Chai and Gigi were asked if they cross someone. Gigi joked that perhaps someone could not get Siu Chai's concert ticket. Siu Chai joked that Lady GaGa's tickets would be more like it. He said, "Whatever! Make it my fault then." However, Siu Chai hoped that everyone would pay attention to safety. No matter how bad everyone's mood was, no one should do this. He believed this was a prank.

Gigi in the film had to learn to play the violin and took lessons with violinist Yao Jue, who came in support two nights ago. Gigi said that she only learned for a little more than a month, thus when she played a scene with the Shanghai symphony orchestra she became to feel guilty. Siu Chai joked of course, because they brought several million in musical instruments to rehearsal. They were all valuable collectibles, even the cheapest was 100,000 or so. Siu Chai said, "Once in the rain we rushed to cover the instruments, not people."

Was Gigi interested in picking up the violin again? She said that she was not young anymore and truly had difficulty. Did she play for her husband? Gigi said yes, because neither knew how to play they thought it was very convincing. She pointed out that during the shoot, her husband came to Hong Kong and stayed with her at the hotel for three days to learn the violin. Siu Chai joked, "No wonder you didn't dine with us, with a face full of love!"

Did Lee Chi Ting feel the umbrella was the act of a fan? He said that would be impossible because he has always been mild mannered and not violent. He believed that his fans would not do that. He said luckily no one was hurt. As for his birthday wish, Lee Chi Ting wished for world peace and a good Hong Kong.

Singer A-Fu's new EP, “Happiness Is Around Us”, began its preorder just a day ago and she immediately topped the preorder sales chart at the major online store books.com.tw.

Richie Jen jokingly claims to be a Swindler

Last night the scheming comedy SCHEME WITH ME (SEUNG SING GAI JUNG GAI)'s Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) and Jiu Kong attended a premiere. Many of Siu Chai's Hong Kong fans came in support. After the screening, Siu Chai and Jiu Kong even had intimate interaction with fans and even ran into the crowd for a photo.

Yam Yin Chai in the film played a swindler Ghost Face whose expertise was disguises. Yam Yin Chai in the film also tried many different looks but he suffered for them. In the film her bucktooth look almost gave him cramps. Yam Yin Chai in the film suffered even more. "Not only is the location far away and sandy, a scene in which I was supposed to enjoy the scenery required me walking over several hills. It truly was tough. Thank you very much for your support." Always playing the gentleman in his past films, Yam Yin Chai this time played a very improper swindler. He joked, "I really am a swindler, I fooled everyone with my gentleman disguise. I am an actor, the loyal and honest roles were all fake. I really am a swindler, being childish is my actual nature."

Current Central Ethnic Revue captain Tenggeer in this film was paired with Yvonne Yung Hung. Often in silence, Tenggeer's performance would make the audience explode with laughter. He too was curious. "In my life I am a very introverted person. I don't know why the performance is very funny. I myself don't know what's going on. During the performance, during the voice work, I was very nervous."

Mike He steals Ella's first kiss

S.H.E’s Ella and Mike He have been filming the upcoming movie, “Bad Girl” since April of last year. Although Ella came out with the movie, “New Perfect Two”, during Chinese New Year, her first movie project and big-screen kiss was actually with Mike in “Bad Girl”. The soon-to-be married actress and pop singer told the media that she thoroughly enjoyed filming the kissing scene, “I greatly enjoyed those (Mike’s) soft pair of lips!”

Ella revealed that she was very stress a while ago and dreamed of herself showing up at the wedding in t-shirt and jeans, while her guests complained about the food. As a result, she decided to leave everything up to her management company to handle and she’ll just focus on being the prettiest bride on that day.

In the movie, Ella, Da Yuan, and Fang Zhi-You form the “bad girls” trio. They revealed that they had experienced in the past of being bullied by guys in school such as having their skirts ripped, being called names or made fun of. Their costar Mike quickly responded, “Actually, I hated the guys too when I was little!” However, he later admitted that he had done some bad things before when he was little.

Jay Chou Won't Be Invited To "The Viral Factor" Sequel

Despite the box office success Jay Chou has helped bring in his latest movie "The Viral Factor", it is rumored that the singer will not be invited to return for the movie's sequel.

According to reports, the movie's production company feels like Jay's martial arts skills were not good enough for the action series' demanding choreography. It sometimes took many takes before getting a usable shot.

Jay is also said to have been difficult to work with on set. He reportedly was more concerned about his looks on film than doing good work. He also would ask for stunt doubles to take over during tiring fight scenes.

Investors are said to be looking into casting Donnie Yen or Andy Lau to fill Jay's role.

While Jay may not be invited to act in the sequel of "The Viral Factor", he has already stated that he will not do any other action films.

Jay Chou Opens Tofu Store, Adding to Business Conglomerate Operations

Fans may remember that in Initial D, Jay Chou’s (周杰伦) character drove a car with the name “Fujiwara Tofu Shop” (藤原豆腐) printed on it? After the film, Jay purchased that car for $510,000 Yuan. After all these years, Jay finally opened a Fujiwara Tofu Shop, which opened in Taipei, Taiwan on January 6, 2012!

A recent tabloid photographed Jay’s rumored girlfriend, Hannah Quinlivan’s mother working at Fujiwara Tofu Shop from 4 PM until 10 PM. Tabloids speculated that Jay allowed his future mother-in-law to manage the shop for him. Subsequently, the manager at Fujiwara Tofu Shop clarified that Hannah’s mother was only there to help out, “This is Mr. J’s concept restaurant. The shareholders are the same shareholders [in Jay's restaurant operations]. Hannah and her mother only receive a 10% discount.”

Jay Chou Expands Conglomerate Empire

It was understood that Fujiwara Tofu Shop was the third restaurant in Jay’s restaurant group. Inside the Fujiwara Tofu Shop were photos from Jay’s film, Initial D. The restaurant featured Japanese cuisine and was moderately priced level. Since Jay loved cool things, he parked his AE86 vehicle (which he drove in Initial D) in front of the restaurant, which made a very striking image!

Since Jay often came in contact with tofu everyday in his film, he possessed a desire to open a tofu shop in Taipei. “Although there are many snack offerings in Taipei, the taste of Fujiwara Tofu Shop is very special. I am not afraid of comparison. In the future, we can open branch locations in mainland China too!”

In addition to his restaurant operations, Jay opened a karaoke establishment in Xian, China last month. Allegedly, the karaoke business was brisk due to Jay’s own appeal and the mid-range prices. During the karaoke’s promotional period, customers holding a genuine copy of Jay’s CD were allowed to sing for free for several hours. “Whether or not the karaoke makes money does not matter. This is a type of enjoyment in life. Opening a restaurant or investing in record companies do not matter. The most important thing is that he wants to fight for everything related to the entertainment sector,” a staff told the media.

If she called to invite me I will attend!" In addition when asked why she did not perform live, Yang Mi stated that she was too nervous. Did she ask her boyfriend Lau Hoi Wai to support her? Yang Mi sweetly said, "Not yet! But I will urge him to watch!"

Ethan Ruan Receives Preferential Treatment in Taiwanese Army?

Golden Horse Best Actor, Ethan Ruan (阮經天), has officially enlisted in the army to complete the mandatory military service requirement for men in Taiwan. Arriving at the camp yesterday, Ethan drove his private car straight into the grounds without the need for security clearance. The most surprising aspect was that Ethan’s girlfriend, Tiffany Hsu (許瑋甯), and his male assistant were also inside the car. No wonder rumors spread that he possessed “special privileges” [as a celebrity soldier] in the army!

It was rumored that Ethan has been assigned to serve as the anti-drug ambassador as part of his alternative service in the army. He will join a touring committee to promote the army’s anti-drug campaign. The law required that an anti-drug ambassador possess a college degree; however, Ethan was only a high school graduate. It was questionable whether the authorities had relaxed the requirements for alternative service [in Ethan's case]. Regarding this matter, Ethan’s assistant claimed he was not informed about the situation.

In addition, Ethan’s assistant revealed that Ethan was adjusting well living in the army barracks. Yesterday, Ethan officially started his training courses, including drills such as running 3,000 meters.

Ethan Juan begins Military Service

Due to military service, Ethan Juan (Yuen King Tin) has become the media target. However Siu Tin actually has never thought about avoiding it. Instead he looked forward to it very much. Yesterday Siu Tin finally reported and again clarified the alternative service issue. He stressed that he did not have any special privilege. Now finally he was able to complete what he should do and he was very happy. Siu Tin's girlfriend Tiffany Hsu due to work could not see him off.

Siu Tin left around 9PM and reported with friends in tow. Media waited outside Siu Tin's home. Siu Tin was dressed casually and looked energized. When he saw the media he could not help but scream, "This truly is too brilliant!" How did he feel about joining the military? Siu Tin said, "Finally I can complete what I should do so I don't have any special feeling. I feel just like all men who have to serve." Two nights ago Siu Tin's friends went to his home to bid him farewell. He slept very well so yesterday he did not have any dark circles around his eyes. He will first have lunch at his grandfather's home in Taichung, then report in the afternoon.

Siu Tin's military service has always been controversial. Siu Tin again clarified, "Anyone who have served should know that alternative service was determined when I graduated from high school. I went for repeated examination twice. At the time I wasn't an artist so I don't have any so-called special privilege problem." Was his girlfriend Tiffany Hsu reluctant to let him go or ask him for anything? Siu Tin joked, "You make her sounds like she's my Ma! I will be back! It's not like I won't. It's not bitterly guarding a chilly cave for 18 years either." However, his girlfriend due to work would not see him off. Why did he report alone and not meet up with others reporting? He said, "I was informed to do so, I don't know, I am just following orders."

Siu Tin will be away from show business for a year. He was not worried that his show business job will be hindered due to his military service, because the service had to be done. As an actor he should properly experience life. Siu Tin before reporting did not forget to promote his new film LOVE. In addition, Siu Tin's film THE GUILLOTINES (HUET DIK JI) will also be released this year. Siu Tin spent two and a half months on THE GUILLOTINES, which was as difficult as "advanced military service". however he thanked the "spicy instructor" Andrew Lau Wai Keung for advancing his "tough experience". This film will be released in the summer. Siu Tin will be absent from the premiere and the promotion. However the team guaranteed a very special way for him to appear.

Siu Tin pointed out that Lau Wai Keung gave him countless "first times", like the first time he did 50 push ups, the first time he lost eight jin in four days, the first time he felt nauseous from all the wire work. However in Siu Tin's eyes, Lau Wai Keung was still a very loving father. When he turned 29, Lau Wai keung arranged for a secret celebration. When he returned to his hotel room, the team emerged from the closet, behind the curtains and under the bed. Seeing how pleased Lau Wai Keung was, Siu Tin could not help but break down. Siu Tin also said that brothers who he "stayed up all night with, got hurt with and even got yelled at by the director with" Shawn Yue Man Lok, Huang Xiaoming and others were hard to forget. He looked forward to their reunion after the end of his service.
