The Taiwanese singer-actor will reportedly have several scandalous scenes in the drama

Posted Image

Rumour has it that Mandopop star Show Luo will be heading to Shenzhen, China, to film Taiwanese director Lin He Long's new Chinese drama series Three Women and A Man (tentative title) at the end of the month.
Responding to the rumors yesterday, Show's manager confirmed that both parties are in talks, and that the actor is inclined to take up the role to "repay a favor". The three dramas which Show previously starred in " Corner with LoveHi My Sweetheart, and Hot Shot" were all directed by He Long.
Based on a novel, the new drama will explore various sexual topics such as masturbation. As its lead actor, Show will reportedly be featured in several scandalous scenes, which raised concern among his fans. However, they have been assured that Show's role would not affect his image as overly erotic scenes will be removed due to broadcasting constraints on TV.
In order to join the production, Show will allegedly have to turn down lucrative job offers as the judge of two reality singing competitions, which would earn him nearly RMB 14 million (approximately S$2.93 million).

In the past year, Alex Fong and Stephy Tang had been focused more on the Mainland market, it was said the couple plan to stay in Hong Kong more this year and it was also rumored they were already secretly married last year in Okinawa. When they were asked about the secret marriage, both Alex and Stephy denied, but actually they had already been living like newly weds for a while. It was said the couple planned to hold a wedding banquet in Hong Kong. 

Yesterday [Oriental Daily] spotted Alex driving Stephy in his BMW back to their 'love nest' in Bisney Road. About 10 minutes later, Alex walked out of their residence with Stephy after changing into a coat and long pants. Alex and Stephy drove to Cyberport for a meal and then a movie. 

The two only ate for half an hour before heading to the cinemas to watch a 5:30pm movie. During their walk to the cinemas, reporters approached the couple and asked whether they had already tied the knot? Alex couldn't react fast enough and blurted out: "Yes!" Stephy quickly said: "Stop speaking nonsense!" Alex knew he messed up and tried to recover: "Yes it is a knot (結), but I didn't mean the character for 'tied the knot' (結婚), it is the character for constipation (結宮)." Stephy continued denying: "He said he tied the knot, but I haven't. I don't know who he tied the knot with!" 

Alex parents lived near the couple's new 'love nest', asked whether its for the convenience of babysitting grandchildren in the future? Alex was more alert this time, and asked the reporter back: "Babysit your babies?" Asked if they are in a hurry to have a 'Horse baby' (2014 year of the Horse)? Alex and Stephy sweetly smiled, but did not answer. They then walked into the cinemas for their movie and went home right after the movie.

Pamela Anderson Remarries Ex-Husband

Pamela Anderson is giving marriage another try — with ex-hubby Rick Salomon.
The "Baywatch" alum was looking pretty in pink and wearing a huge new diamond ring on the red carpet at Sean Penn's Help Haiti Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The 46-year-old told E! News that she's once again off the market, having quietly tied the knot with the producer.

"We're very happy," she said. "Our families are very happy and that's all that matters."

A rep for Anderson has not yet responded to Yahoo's request for comment about her marriage.

This is Anderson's second time down the aisle with Salomon. They first said "I do" in Las Vegas in 2007. At the time, she was working as a magician's assistant in a stage act at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. After the 7 p.m. show, she left to marry Salomon, 45, during her 90-minute break. She was then back in time for the 10 p.m. performance.

They split almost immediately and annulled the marriage in 2008.

However, in October, Pam was photographed during a topless beach adventure with Salomon in Biarritz, France. Soon after, she appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres" show and admitted they were "best friends … with benefits."
After making a "recycling" joke, the famous blonde (who briefly went brunette in the fall) added, "I'm very happy. We're happy. He's a great guy."

This is Anderson's fourth marriage. She was briefly previously hitched to both Tommy Lee (with whom she has two teen sons) and Kid Rock.

As for Salomon, he has two children with his first wife, voice actress Elizabeth Daily, and was briefly married to Shannen Doherty. He also dated Paris Hilton with whom he made an infamous sex tape.

Johnny Depp, 50, and Amber Heard cemented their status as a couple on Saturday night and stepped out for their first official event together at The Art of Elysium's 7th Annual Heaven Gala in Los Angeles.

"The Rum Diary" co-stars, who've been canoodling since 2012, skipped the red carpet but popped a pose for the shutterbugs inside the event.

For their big date night, Depp donned a black suit and tie, a tattered tan hat, and his signature black spectacles. Heard, 27, stunned in a black, sequined gown and polished off her look with a perfect red pucker and swept-up tresses.

The duo cuddled up inside the event. (Getty Images)

The lovebirds packed on the PDA throughout the evening, with Heard nuzzling her head into her sweetie as he whispered in her ear. The pair were smiling and enjoying the swanky evening, which also drew stars like Nina Dobrev, Anna Kendrick, Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish, David Arquette, Ali Larter, Joe Manganiello, and more.

While this is their first official appearance together, Depp certainly hasn't kept his affection for his gal pal under wraps. The duo was spotted in Japan in July with Depp's kiddos, Lily-Rose and Jack, during a family trip. Later that week, Depp held Heard's hand as he escorted her to dinner in London.

Last year Joel Chan and the 'Gambling King' Stanley Ho's daughter Florinda Ho two year relationship ended. He instantly turned into a man with "four losses", he didn't have a girlfriend, didn't have jobs, didn't have money and was out of shape. Recently he's been actively working out to lose the weight and prepare for his comeback TVB series produced by Lee Tim Shing. Within three months, he lost 30 pounds. 

Last night Joel accepted an interview on Scoop and admitted he disappointed his family and friends. He wanted to apologized to everyone: "I fell down, and I must get back up slowly. There should be some experiences in life in order for one to grow and mature. Before there were some things including my relationship I didn't handle well, which disappointed my friends, family and colleagues. I owe them all an apology. I also want to thank my family, friends and TVB for giving me the opportunity. In 2014, I will place my work in first place!" 

Asked if he's lost hope in love? Joel expressed that is the future, but there is not a shadow that was left behind. "It wasn't my first time in a relationship. A romance is between two people. Third parties will not understand. Must rely on yourself." Joel said he won't ask that people like him, but he will do his best on his own part and hope his family won't have to worry about him again. 

Nancy Wu: 2013 Last "Supporting Actress" Nomination, Next Goal - Best Actress

A good role is hard to get, Nancy Wu is finally getting promoted by TVB and had been given many great roles. In the past year she had swept several "Best Supporting Actress" awards and her acting has been recognized. In her acting career, she had encountered many good partners, where she learned and gained experience from each and every one of them. Nancy is always striving for continual improvement and breakthrough in her acting. Best Actress is her next goal. 

Nancy has been silently plowing through in the industry for over 10 years. She puts her heart into each and every one of her roles. The first 6-7 years after her debut, she frequently portrayed a villain, a mistress or other despicable roles. Then when her past relationship with the 'seun poon' Kenneth Ma surfaced, many thought Nancy wasn't good enough for him. "I thought, this is a person's destiny. Since I've been in the industry, producers gave me all the roles I have had. In the past, I had many despicable roles, but those roles had a lot of development. I had the opportunity to really train my acting skills. When you are a newcomer, you get excited no matter what role you get. As for some of the negative news, you said it caused a huge impact on me. Well, I think at the time it did affect me to some extent, but people eventually forget about it because your performance will cover some news." 

She's exactly right. In 2012 she was finally recognized, she won the "Best Supporting Actress" award for her mute female boxer role in Gloves Come Off, and in last year's popular series Triumph in the Skies II, she made another breakthrough and caught a lot of attention as Coco, the surrogate mother. Based on her role Coco, she was again the Best Supporting Actress titleholder at the Astro's Malaysia TVB Star Awards. Coco in Triumph in the Skies was Nancy's first role ten years ago, and ten years later she gets to play this role again. To Nancy, Coco is absolutely very meaningful and significant. "I could finally feel how important it is to have a likeable role. Haha, that was a very good start. I tried my hardest to let the audience know what I'm trying to do." 

Different sparks created when collaborating with different artists. In Nancy's recent series Coffee Cat Mama, she plays a step-mother who frequently competes with Michelle Yim's character. In the series, Nancy replaces Michelle's role as Eliza Sam and Regen Cheung's mother. Nancy learned a lot from this senior, she carefully watched Michelle's acting style and stole some tips from her. This time, Nancy and her good partner Vincent Wong play best friends from childhood. She and Vincent have lots of chemistry and sparks. They shared their experiences with one another. Nancy has worked with many artists, such as TV King Wayne Lai, whom had brought her a lot of practical acting experience. She expressed Wayne is truly a qualified senior, she observes him whenever she doesn't have to film and if there were anything she didn't understand, she did not hesitate to ask him for advice. 

Force Kissing Kate Tsui Felt Strange 

In the entertainment circle, there is heavy competition among newcomers. Nancy is fortunate to have had a smooth sailing career and understands the principle of not falling behind. She expressed she has filming to do everyday and new jobs everyday. She will do her best in performing each of her roles well. She hopes to improve continuously on her acting. Last year, she completed a new series Midas and again made a breakthrough. In the series, she has to portray a lesbian and had an one minute force kiss with Kate Tsui. Nancy expressed usually she does have light kisses with her female friends, but she had never forced kissed a girl the way she had to in the series. She frankly expressed felt more nervous than kissing a guy. It was very strange feeling and joked Kate probably didn't feel any better, therefore this scene was indeed one of her most memorable ones. Nancy laughed and said Kate has thick lips, so it felt pretty nice kissing her. Also, Nancy guest starred in [i]Tiger Cubs II
 as a cold-hearted murderer, which was another challenge for her as well. Nancy saves up all of her acting experiences and in the new year, she hopes to try more different types of roles and will make Best Actress her goal. Later this year, she'll be starting on a new series [i]Business War
 in which she will play the first female lead. Nancy said: "I hope 2013 will be my last Best Supporting Actress nomination. Still in 2014, I can make more improvements and its not that I want to get any award in particular, but I will really put the effort into my work and if I get a Best Actress nomination, I'll be really pleased." 

Boyfriend's Talents Are Most Attractive 

With her career and love life going smoothly, Nancy has been dating her boyfriend Patt Sham, who works in advertisement for nearly two years. Although Nancy is very busy with her work, she's still frequently spotted by the media spending time with her boyfriend. Nancy expressed because of her boyfriend's job, he has become good friends with many artists in the industry, therefore he understands an artist's work environment. They mutually accommodate one another to keep a stable relationship. When speaking of what she admires about her boyfriend? Nancy smiled sweetly and expressed her boyfriend's artistic talent attracted her the most. The couple get along very well. Does she see her boyfriend as her lifetime partner? She frankly expressed every time she's in relationship, she always hope it lasts long, but at this point in time she does not have plans for marriage, work comes first. She laughed: "2013, it was rumored 4-5 times that we were getting married, I'm happy to see everyone wants me to get married faster, but I'm currently concentrated on my work."

Responding to the reports, Prince's manager said that though the actor-singer did receive the script, some details have yet to be confirmed.

Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu's mother-in-law's firm South Beauty, which operates a chain of high-end restaurants in China, is said to be bought over by London-based private equity firm CVC.

South Beauty was set up by Zhang Lan in 2000 and managed by her and son, Wang Xiaofei, who married Barbie three years ago. The company then expanded to Taiwan.

Zhang Lan said: 'The deal has only just been approved, and both parties have not signed it yet.' CVC is said to be buying 69 percent of South Beauty's shares, while Zhang Lan's management will hold on to 31 per cent.

Regarding the ministry's approval for acquisition, Zhang Lan said that she 'had no choice' and that she 'did not violate any rules'.

Wang Xiaofei declined to comment, but the General Manager of a Taiwan South Beauty branch said: 'We have not received any notification that we are to be acquired.' He even added that the restaurant is fully booked for Chinese New Year, and there may be expansion plans in future.

Barbie's mother also said that she has not heard anything about acquisition. 'Don't worry, South Beauty is managed by both Zhang Lan and Xiaofei. I'm sure they will want the best for the company,' she said.

Kanye West is currently under investigation for an alleged assault on a young man following a racial slur.

The rapper reportedly confronted an 18-year-old for calling wife Kim Kardashian a "n***er lover", according to TMZ.

Kardashian was apparently at a Beverly Hills medical center when the man initially tried to help her inside the building among a crowd of paparazzi.

He allegedly shouted racial obscenities to the press, leading Kardashian to speak out against the remarks and apparently drawing further explicit comments from the teenager.

The slurs prompted West to enter the building where he allegedly punched the 18-year-old.

It is claimed that the man has pressed charges and the police now want to speak with the rapper in a suspected battery investigation.

In September last year, it was reported that West had been charged over allegedly attacking a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport.

"It makes me much more relaxed with work, because I have something that is far more important to me now."

It was recently revealed that Elsa Pataky filled in for Natalie Portman for a kissing scene with Hemsworth in Thor: The Dark World.

Ciara has confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child.

The 28-year-old singer, who is engaged to rapper and producer Future, announced the news on The View today (January 14).

Speculation had been rife over whether Ciara was pregnant or not, prompting the show's presenter Barbara Walters to ask the singer whether she wanted to confirm or deny the news.

Ciara then stood up and displayed her bump, saying: "I'm so excited for this year."

The 'Goodies' star and Future got engaged in October last year after dating for a year, and accepted his proposal in New York at the weekend.

At the time that the couple started dating, Ciara said: "I'm happy. I'm with somebody that makes me feel very comfortable in this setting. He's my best friend, so we talk about a lot of stuff. At the right time, I'm looking forward to [having a family]."

By contrast, Blue Ivy's second birthday last week was a more intimate affair, with face paint and pink Disney toys replacing designer outfits and champagne.

Beyoncé this week published an essay declaring gender equality a "myth", calling for the sexes to be "granted equal pay and equal respect".

"Today, women make up half of the US workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77% of what the average working man makes," she wrote.

"But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn more - commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender."

The actress is rumoured to be keeping mum about her pregnancy due to Chinese traditional beliefs

Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu is speculated to be pregnant with her first child after she was seen with a slightly protruding tummy at an event recently.

Ever since her marriage with Chinese entrepreneur Wang Xiaofei in November 2010, the couple had been trying to conceive a baby but without success. It was rumoured that Wang's mother had ordered the entrepreneur to divorce Barbie as she wants a grandson soon.

However, at an event in Shanghai earlier this month, the 35-year-old was spotted removing her heels and changing to flats right after the event ended. Assisted by her assistant up the stairs and taking extra care, the actress was seen with her tummy slightly protruding which led to rumours that she had successfully conceived a baby.

According to a tip-off, Barbie and Wang had kept the news under wraps due to a Chinese traditional belief that pregnancies should not be announced during the first trimester.

It is rumoured that Wang's family had been preparing tonics for the actress daily and had ordered her to cut down on wearing heels.
