Jackie Chan kisses Wang Leehom as his Concert Guest

Wang Leehom (Wong Lik Sun) closed his three show Music Man II Open Fire World Tour Hong Kong Leg two nights ago. Wang Leehom invited superstar buddy Jackie Chan to be his guest. When Jackie Chan appeared, Leehom introduced this friend. "Last month one night, I was working with Zhang Ziyi on MY LUCKY STAR. I received a call from this friend, saying that he wanted to visit. Soon he brought a dozen or so boxes of fruit for the entire team. That day we were shooting a fight scene, he even became our temporary action director. He is this type of a good friend. He is the superstar of my heart, the best action director in the entire world..." Jackie Chan then appeared and embraced Leehom. They sang while shaking the audience's hands and brought the concert to its climax.

Jackie Chan just completed his film CZ12 (SUP YI SUN CHIU) post production in North America. Jackie Chan pointed out that the script took 7 years to write and a year and a half to shoot. He even gave the audience a special preview as a gift for Leehom. The video had many dangerous stunts. Jackie Chan said, "This three minute scene took a month and a half to shoot. In comparison to you writing a song with just 'ding ding ding', you have made much more money. I really have it tough, film requires me to risk danger to my life, you have it much simpler." Before going, Jackie Chan kissed Leehom on the lips and the audience shrieked. Then Leehom and Jackie Chan said I love you in both Mandarin and Cantonese and recorded it for online posting. Before the end of the show, Leehom said that he had to "hit the wheel" with everyone, meaning that he would kiss everyone goodbye with music.

In his three show concert, Leehom often said that he wanted to "hit the wheel" with guests and viewers. When asked if he knew that it meant a tongue kiss, Leehom who did not know Cantonese finally got it and immediately explained, "Really? I learned it when I made Cantonese films. Then how do you say kiss in Cantonese? (Your first show guest Candy Lo Hau Yam was scared out of her mind because of what you said!) I really just found out, luckily you corrected me."

Leehom said that Jackie Chan brought fruit to the set, and Zhang Ziyi who has been linked to Jackie Chan was present as well. Did Jackie Chan bring any grape? Did Zhang Ziyi feed grapes to anyone? Leehom said, "No." later he will have to go to Macau to continue the shoot and his concert tour. Will he perform in Japan? Leehom said, "We are in negotiation." With the recent rising anti Japanese sentiments, Tony Leung Chiu Wai who was rumored to be making a Japanese film was called a traitor online in the Mainland. Leehom said that online comments could not be stopped.

Chang Chen will make announcement when he weds

After three to four months away from Hong Kong, Chang Chen two days ago came to attend a Cerruti 1881 all new concept store opening in Harbor City. Chang Chen revealed that because he did not know when the film THE GRANDMASTERS (YUT DOI JUNG SI) will be released and promoted, currently he would focus on preparing for Hou Hsiao-Hsien's new film NIE YIN NIANG (ASSASSIN). He said, "Because this film will shoot for a long time, I have to be fully prepared. Next week a press conference will be held."

Chang Chen denied rumors that he will wed this year. "I don't have any special plan to wed, we will see! Actually work has been rather busy, I have very little time to be with my family. Thus during break I would mainly be with my family. (Has your family been rushing you about marriage?) I don't have too much pressure. I am second in the family, I believe my brother's pressure is greater than mine. (Would the woman have pressure?) My girlfriend isn't in the business, so I hope to keep a low profile on the relationship. I am not at liberty to tell everyone. If anything happens I will let everyone know." He reiterated that if he got married he definitely would publicize it.

S.H.E's Comeback Album Will Focus On Ballads

After more than 2 1/2 years, S.H.E will be making a comeback with a new album. It will focus of ballads and light-hearted songs in consideration of Selina's injuries.

On October 22, 2010, Selina was involved in an accidentally explosion on the set of the drama "I have A Date With Spring", receiving extreme burns all over her body, nearly destroying her legs and leaving her struggling to walk. Although she has been recovering nicely and has regained much of her strength, S.H.E.'s agency has decided not to include dance music in the new album so that Selina wouldn't be forced to perform strenuous dance routines.

The girls will be heading to Milan to take photos for their album. More considerations for Selina's condition will be taken as the style of clothing won't be too revealing, allowing Selina to cover up her legs.

The album is expected to be released at the end of October, though no official release date has been announced.

S.H.E. will be celebrating their 11th anniversary on September 11th. Check out their official Facebook page for the celebration!

Peter Ho RunDong Celebrates His Birthday "Gangnam" Style; Rumored Girlfriend Janine Chang JunNing Sends Him a Kiss

何潤東 Peter Ho RunDong celebrated his 37th birthday yesterday in Shanghai. As a special "thank you" to his fans, Peter specially donned a dinosaur costume and did a "horseriding" dance. Meanwhile, Peter's rumored girlfriend sent him a picture of her blowing a kiss, thus upping the count of their flirtatious interactions. Peter has been in the entertainment industry for 11 years and is worth at least $700 million NTD; he is very successful.

Peter is currently in Shanghai filming two movies, 小時代/ and 璀璨人生/Brilliant Life. Peter's birthday is the 13th; he made a date with his fans to celebrate. The event was closed to the media, and as Peter was alone with just 300 members of his fan club family, he played freely. He donned a dinosaur costume and danced the now-popular "Gangnam Style" horseriding dance. Peter joked, "I'm a huge klutz, and I don't have any talent for dance. I've never danced in a formal, public setting before-- this time, I've made the bad decision to dance only to thank my fans for their support!"

Peter's close friends in the entertainment circle all sent him videos expressing birthday wishes. 徐若瑄 Vivian Hsu RuoXuan performed 月亮代表我的心 [Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin] [The Moon Represents My Heart], specially changing the lyrics for Peter. The new lyrics even contained a small segment for Peter's rumored girlfriend, 張鈞甯 Janine Chang YunNing. The relevant segment: "We've known each other for 8 years, but you don't have a girlfriend-- you've never had a girlfriend during this time! How is this possible? You ought to tell me these things. Actually, Janine Chang is pretty nice; what do you think? You should tell me; secretly tell me!"*

Janine, who is currently in Mongolia, also sent Peter a video message. In it, she complained coyly, "You left me all alone-- you wouldn't come with me to Mongolia! Last time, for my birthday, you filmed a fake kiss with 大發 DaFa. Now, it's my time to give you a kiss! It's a picture of myself kissing myself!" Their ambiguous relationship becomes ever more ambiguous!

* Translator's Note: Though it's lost in the English translation, in the Chinese, you can tell that Vivian changed the lyrics to the old classic, 月亮代表我的心 [Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin] [The Moon Represents My Heart], especially the "tell me" and "secretly tell me" parts.

Arron Yan YaLun Accused of Plastic Surgery; Confronts Jiro Wang DongCheng

There have been rumors, again and again, that 汪東城 Jiro Wang DongCheng and 炎亞綸 Arron Yan YaLun don't get along. This time, a few days ago, Jiro was in Hong Kong for an event when he was asked about the latest rumors regarding Arron and plastic surgery; his answer was, "Yes; that's right (he has)!" Yesterday, Arron claimed that Jiro has already sent him an apologetic txt message, but in the same store in which Arron was serving as "store manager" for the day hung a poster of Jiro, making things even more awkward.

Jiro Sends Txt Message to Apologize

At Arron's cosmetics promotional event yesterday, he expressed that, when he first heard of Jiro's "betrayal," he was very upset, and his reaction was swift. He immediately called Jiro's manager to confirm the news; Jiro also sent him a txt message to explain and apologize. Arron explained that Jiro didn't hear the question he was being asked and answered reflexively; thus, Arron wouldn't take it too seriously.

Arron Looks More and More Like His Dog

On the cover for Jiro's new album, his face looks a lot like Arron's, thus sparking rumors that the two had had so much plastic surgery that they were starting to look alike. But Arron said, "As the feelings and affection between two people grow, they'll grow more and more alike. My dog and I are also growing more and more alike!" He also said that, in the past, people would often mistake Jiro and him for each other; their profiles are especially similar.

"Let's Talk After I Actually Have Surgery!"

Arron was asked if Jiro had had any plastic surgery. Arron immediately answered, "Definitely not." He also praised Jiro as looking very "natural" and said that he's actually very afraid of pain, so even if he wanted surgery, it would have to be much later. As to whether Arron himself had had plastic surgery, Arron answered, "I'm also very afraid of pain!" Arron admitted honestly that he looks a little different from before but stressed that the change was from working out, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and using beauty products.

A few days ago, when Arron was in Singapore to promote his drama, he was asked whether there was problems between the members of Fahrenheit. His reaction was, "What!? How could there be?" He explained that they all still keep in touch and use txt messages to check on each other, but that, for now, all four of them have things they want to do or accomplish by themselves. For example, Arron's next album is set to be released in October; all four members are busy with their own jobs and careers, and the times they have to spend together is naturally less. Arron joked, however, that maybe he and Wu Zun would open up their own movie studio together to prove their friendship and brotherhood.

Wu Zun Supports His "Brothers"

When Wu Zun appeared at a promotional event several days ago, he was asked about Jiro and Arron, both in Hong Kong at the time. He expressed that they all keep in touch via txt message and that they hope to get together soon. Asked whether it's true that Jiro and Arron don't get along, Wu Zun replied, "This rumor has been circulating for a long time. As long as we know what's real and what's really going on, it's fine." Regarding the plastic surgery rumors, Wu Zun expressed that he has known both of them for a very long time and has never thought they had undergone surgery. "You know, it's not just plastic surgery that can make a person look different. Like me, now I'm fatter than I was before, and my hair has changed-- and I look different! I believe they haven't had anything done."

Sweetheart Rainie Yang ChengLin Becomes Bold, Flirting Freely with Middle-Aged Harlem Yu ChengQing

Sweetheart 楊丞琳 Rainie Yang ChengLin appeared on TTV's dating show, 王子的約會 [A Date with a Prince], a few days ago as a "love consultant." Unexpectedly, however, once she appeared, she started making eyes at the middle-aged 庾澄慶 Harlem Yu ChengQing (哈林 HaLin) instead, trying to "electrify" him and take advantage of him. She said plainly, "The host is mine! I'm seldom so daring to men I like; only to HaLin ge am I willing to go so far!" Harlem was elated by the teasing and laughed, "Maybe it's just that I'm oblivious! My powers of detection are maybe a little weak!"

In addition to expressing her love for Harlem openly on the TV program, Rainie also pays close attention to Harlem's activities off-screen. Whenever Harlem leaves a message on his WeiBo regarding 王子的約會 [A Date with a Prince], Rainie immediately replies, "Choose me! Choose me!" XiaoYan jie (another famous TV show host and close mentor and mother figure to Harlem) has also tried to "sell" Harlem to Rainie before as a good match! But Rainie laughed, "Harlem is a very good man,* but I think I would have a lot of rivals for his heart. If he has a new relationship, though, I will wholeheartedly give them my blessing and wish them the best!" Harlem, listening, didn't know whether to laugh or to cry and said, "You! This love consultant has really gone far!"

Rainie stressed that love doesn't have any grey areas; for her, she said, "If we are just friends, I'll treat them like my brothers. But if I really like someone, my attitude will naturally be different!" But she immediately said to Harlem, "But I've discovered that I'm really willing to do a lot for you!" Harlem didn't know how to react to this and could only stutter in reply, "It's very nice to have someone admire you; it can make you . . . grow up!" But Rainie's next admission was even bolder: "When it comes to other guys, I'm more shy. Only to Harlem am I so bold! I can't help teasing you!" But Rainie then explained herself, "If Harlem actually liked me, in the future I would never dare to make such a love confession to him!"

* Harlem's ex-wife, another entertainer by the name of 伊能静 Annie Yi NengJing, famously cheated on him a few years ago. The couple have a young son together.

Richie Jen wants to be in better shape than Jay Chou

Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) yesterday attended a California Fitness event. Siu Chai said that lately he was in much better shape because earlier he worked on a Taiwan film, in which he played a middle aged gay man and had to gain weight for the character. Yet during the shoot he received the fitness center's invitation to be its spokesmodel. Siu Chai said, "At the time I worried that with my shape I probably shouldn't work on the commercial, because for the film I had to maintain a big belly. Yet for the fitness commercial I had to be in a good shape. I immediately asked them to give me a two to three weeks to lose weight and get into shape. Now maybe I am not as thin as before, but I still have a six pack abdominal muscle." Siu Chai joked that he had to train until he was fitter than Jay Chou (Chow Kit Lun) before showing off his figure for everyone to enjoy.

Siu Chai said that as an actor he constantly had to change his look for his characters. For example when he made a Johnnie To Kei Fung film, he often had to look ugly. Yam Yin Chai said, "Mr. To constantly messes with my head and wants me to have a receding hair line. I said it would be very ugly in the midst of the concert. Mr. To said that the audience came to listen to songs and not to look at me. Being both a singer and an actor is truly hard, unless the movie I make makes enough money for me not to have to perform a concert. However the salary Mr. To pays me is truly too much." Siu Chai revealed that he will perform a concert in Taipei in December, he hoped to have enough time to show off his figure then. In addition, Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Andy Hui Chi On were rumored to wed. Siu Chai asked, "Is it true or not? Let me secretly ask. If it's true, I would congratulate them."
