The King Of Snooker

I wasn't actually that excited about seeing this series before, but watching the themevideo has changed my mind. I think the reason I didn't care too much about it before was because there was no hearthrob guy in this series (I know that's superficial of me but Patrick Tang does not seem like a good younger lead actor to me). It also reminds me of those old gambling type of series where they use a bunch of (unrealistic) tricks, but this is based on pool instead. I like all the graphics in the themevideo since it all ties it together, and I'm even more excited to see Derek Kwok in this series since he seems to be getting bigger roles now. It shows that actors who keep working hard at whatever roles they are given will one day get a chance to shine, like how Wayne Lai and Michael Tse is now doing. I'm also happy to see Joyce Tang in this since I think she's gotten prettier and better at acting since her return to TVB last year.

I Love E.U.

Finally! TVB gives me a series to cheer about! I loved it.. a post will come soon with my thoughts!

Bosco and Myolie at a Hair Show

I found this clip on youtube and it's creepy and funny at the same time! I don't know how some people kept a straight face. Myolie is supposed to be a witch? While I'm guessing Bosco is supposed to be an elf? I actually knew someone that too part in one of these shows as a hair model and they can cut or style their hair any way they feel like and you get no input at all. Just imagine an Asian girl coming back with short, somewhat spiky, blonde hair. It was not a pretty sight. Anyways, I consider Bosco and Myolie some of the more edgy artists at TVB because they always seem to be willing to try out different fashions and hairstyles. Sometimes the results are not always good, but other times, they do end up looking more fashionable and you have to appreciate that they are willing to take that risk.

Kate Tsui's New Song

I found Kate Tsui's new song on Youtube, and yikes! Not to sound like a total Kate hater since I am definitely not, but I still don't get why they are trying to make her a singer. Her voice is basically manipulated through auto-tune, effects, and over production to disguise her voice since this song could have been by anyone. It'll be interesting to see what she would sound like live since you can't really tell what her voice is like here. However, when I first heard about Kate entering the music industry, I already knew that she'd probably be doing fast songs since she's a good dancer. TVB already has their "jade girl" with Linda Chung and Myolie was supposed to be a little edgier with her short hair and rock-girl look.

I actually don't mind when TVB artists enter the music industry since most of them have been pretty good and I like to support them. There are instances where it can backfire on them and put a halt on their otherwise rising popularity. I think Ron Ng is the best example. I liked Ron's cd but he was also heavily criticized for his singing which made his popularity go down. After that, he wasn't in TVB series as much and it isn't until recently that he's making a big return since he has a lot of upcoming series to be released and filmed. He does have another album coming out this year but I have confidence that he has gained a lot of maturity and confidence from last time that he will be able to manage both a singing and acting career at the same time.

I think Kate should have concentrated more on movies if she wanted to venture out. The other TVB artists that have released albums already have a big built in fan-base and I'm actually not sure if Kate has it. I guess we'll just see how the response is when it's released.

現在你 望著我 用直覺 別用視覺
讓偽裝 花紙般撕破 (看看我的秘密願望)
漠視你 待慢你 或是我 在做戲
若是你 不要敷衍我 (你會看出很多驚喜)
＊從來讀心最易 為何未可發現
我每句心裡話跟說話未會一緻
U never see, u never feel

眉和眼 像在笑 言辭卻 淡若雪
未洞悉 假正經真心意 (你更困憂更是混亂)
男孩有 萬萬個 誰人會 明暸我

Hey boy u stare at me
U want me be your baby
I'll be direct n' tell you
Yes n' NO or maybe so
Please ...after my soul

One last thought: I wonder if TVB is releasing Man In Charge (w/ Kenneth and Leila) to build up her popularity before her album release. Maybe that means The Beauty of the Game (w/ Christine Ng and Sharon Chan) will be released soon too?

Fitting Stars of Love

This is magazine scans from Fitting Stars of Love. My first instinct was to label this series as Sweetness in the Salt because of Steven and Tavia! I'm loving Michael Tse's look in this series. This is also part of Mandy Cho's return to TVB after taking a break for school. I wonder what kind of status she would have if she didn't take a break and stayed with TVB the whole time..

Root of Evil Filming

Some more scans from TVB Weekly- it looks like Gallen kept the ugly goatee while Kenneth has the ugly mustache! =)

Grace Wong

From TVB Weekly Issue 610
I think the white background and thin paper made the other side visible, but I still wanted to post up these pics.

Yes, I will admit that I am a fan only because she is friends with Myolie! haha..






I don't think she does the "model" poses well because it just comes off as awkward. I like it more when she's just smiling to the camera.

This is part of the TVB Weekly magazine as one of the inserts. Here's some recent covers with Linda and Moses. They both look so wholesome!

After secretly dating for 7 years, Jack Wu and June Chan are getting married next month, wedding banquet at Peninsula Hotel

Secretly dating for seven years, Jack Wu and June Chan (陳琪) are scheduled to hold their wedding banquet of 10 tables at Peninsula Hotel on the 27th of next month, they will also register their marriage there. About having a baby, the couple expressed that they will follow fate, June also praised her future husband has compassion and dedicated to her!

'Secret lovers' Jack and June have dated for seven years and are finally getting married, their wedding banquet of 10 tables will be at a Five Star hotel, many artists such as Raymond Cho, Margie Tsang, Halina Tam, Nancy Sit and Carlo Ng have been invited to attend. Groomsmen (兄弟團) mostly consist of friends from outside the entertainment circle, June has asked good friend Olivia Fu (傅楚卉) to be bridesmaid, June's sister will be maid of honor, and Jack invited an old colleague Chow Kwok Fung (周國豐) from radio station to be MC.

Continues with career, go with the flow on having a baby
Jack frankly said earlier he was busy with wedding preparations and is almost finished now, therefore he is not too nervous: "The company has found me a sponsor, but the venue can only provide 10 tables so I cannot invite many friends in the entertainment circle, I want to use this opportunity to say sorry!" Asked if he minds his wife to continue being an actress, Jack said: "She loves to act, I'll let her decide! Of course I don't mind!" Asked about having a baby, he said: "We love children, but we'll follow fate!" As for June, she also agreed to let nature take its course: "I don't resist but I don't know whether I can take good care of my baby! (Your husband can take good care!) It's true! He has compassion and also a Virgo, he is very dedicated to me and our home!"

Our reporter called Margie, she strongly praised Jack's good character: "I met him when I hosted a program, I treat him like a young kid! Jack has very good manners and knows how to respect others!" Asked if she has urged them to have a baby soon, Margie said: "I know they have dated for a long time! But can't say something so long term, I wish them a lot of happiness!"

My comments: Holy crap! I didn't expect this news at all since I never knew they were even dating! I also never knew June Chan's name even though I recognize her from a bunch of TVB series. I think the main one I associate her with is as "Money Jie" in Love Bond. It's also surprising since I noticed that many TVB actors/actresses marry at an older age for many different reasons. Congratulations to them both though!
