The Taiwanese singer-songwriter plans to enlist in the army, fueling speculations he is doing so to nurse a broken heart

Yoga Lin

“I have always wanted to live comfortably, and that is only possible with both parties’ blessing,” confessed Taiwanese Mandopop star Yoga Lin, hinting that he and his rumoured girlfriend, Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M. Tang have called it quits.

The latter has, reportedly, ditched the 26-year-old crooner after she rose to fame since participating in China’s popular singing competition programme for celebrities, I am a Singer.

While both parties have been keeping mum about the issue, they have both dropped hints on their respective social media account, Weibo, with phrases like “made a mistake” from G.E.M. and “we have our own direction” by Yoga.

The Taiwanese singer’s recent announcement about his intention to enlist in the army in July only further fueled speculations.

When queried by the media during his latest world tour,Speaking in Tongues, press conference yesterday, Yoga chose not to answer directly.

Instead, he replied with a couple of questions: “Must I answer? Am I handsome today?”

It was only after a resounding “very handsome” by the media that he said: “I have been trying to find a lifestyle that’d suit me best and make both parties happy,” as if hinting that their relationship has come to an end. “Now, I feel happy and I am enjoying my life.”

Hilary Duff showed off a new, lighter hair color via Twitter on March 28. "Suuuuuper blonde. No extensions @uppcercasey murdered my color today 5 hrs. 100+foils #nobiggie," the newly single mom, 26, tweeted.

During the marathon hair session, Duff kept busy doing what most women would -- noshing on sweet snacks. "Go ahead and guess what's about to go down in my kitchen? I'm getting hair colored so @lowenban is gunna start," the former Lizzie McGuire star tweeted, along with a picture of sugary cereals including Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, and Cap'n Crunch behind a healthy amount of bags of marshmallows.

The new platinum hue is a noticeable change from her golden blonde locks. While the lighting of the picture makes it hard to tell if the new color is more flattering than her previous shade, we're relieved Duff kept her perfectly beachy waves instead of trying out the celeb-favorite bob hairstyle.

Gillian Chung and boyfriend spend Valentine's Day in Vietnam

The Twins member and her Korean boyfriend were spotted at an airport in Ho Chi Minh City

Cantopop star Gillian Chung may have previously announced that she would be working through Valentine's Day, but it turns out that the singer rejected job offers at the last minute and took time off to spend the occasion with her Korean boyfriend in Vietnam.

According to media reports, Gillian forwent popular holiday destinations to accommodate her boyfriend's preference for a low-key celebration.

The couple, who has been dating for eight months, was spotted at the Ho Chi Minh City airport in the evening of February 15. Both were seen wearing shades to hide from the public eye and Gillian was especially alert of the surroundings, keeping her head down when a tour group from Hong Kong walked past.

Although the pair did not link arms, they appeared to enjoy their private conversation, bursting into laughter occasionally as they strolled closely next to each other.

Ashlee Simpson Engaged: Star and Fiance Evan Ross Have Engagement Party

Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross celebrated two things last night: Their engagement and Simpson's future mother-in-law Diana Ross' birthday! The couple, who got engaged in January, threw an engagement party on Wednesday, which happened to be the same day the groom-to-be's mother turned 70 years old. Ashlee tweeted about the bash and even shared a sweet photo from the event, which showed her and her fiancé embracing each other and wearing festive crowns and fur.

Ashlee's big sister Jessica got in on the social media action, too, posting the below photo with the caption: "Celebrating my best friend and sister @missbananahammock @ashleesimpsonofficial. I love her so much!" (Jessica knows a thing or two about weddings at this point; the singer-turned-businesswoman has been engaged to fiancé Eric Johnson since November 2010 and is reportedly planning to get married this spring.)

Considering it was the mother-of-the-groom's birthday, we wonder if the living legend gave a special private performance in honor of her son and his fiancée? If she decided to rest her vocal cords instead, we do know that she is actively involved in helping the couple plan their wedding. "She's involved in all levels of my life. She's one of the most incredible mothers ever," Ross, who was in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, told E! News a few weeks ago at SXSW in Austin, Texas. "She's involved in every piece of our wedding [and] engagement party."
Though they haven't announced a wedding date, Simpson and Ross seem ready to tie the knot in a moment's notice. "Honestly, we could go and get married right now, wherever," Ross added. "We just want to be married. We're in love. This is the most incredible time I could ever think of in my life and I'm young, but the same time, I've lived a different life than most and I can't think of a happier moment."

Prince William and Kate Middleton have left hospital with their baby boy.

The royal couple left London's St Mary's Hospital with their son via the famous Lindo Wing entrance, where Prince William was first photographed with his parents 31 years ago.

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their baby son

The couple emerged from the famous doors - with the Duchess holding the newborn - and posed for the world's media on the steps of the hospital.

An official statement confirmed that the Duchess and the newborn prince would be discharged from hospital tonight, and return with Prince William to Kensington Palace.

Prince William and Kate Middleton became parents at 4.24pm yesterday (July 22), with their son weighing 8lb 6oz.

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first son

The new parents answered questions from press, describing the birth of their first child as a "very emotional" and "special" time.

The child - bestowed with the title Prince of Cambridge - replaces Prince Harry as third in line to the throne.

Prince William said: "He's a big boy, he's quite heavy. We are still working on a name but we will have that as soon as we can. It's the first time we've seen him really so we are having a proper chance to catch up." 

He also acknowledged the amount of time that press and well-wishers had been waiting outside the hospital, joking: "I'll remind him of his tardiness when he's older because I know how long you've all been standing out here. 

"Hopefully the hospital and you guys can all go back to normal now and we can go and look after him."

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave St Mary's Hospital

Earlier today, both sets of grandparents visited the Lindo Wing to see the new family. 

Carole and Michael Middleton arrived at the hospital shortly after 3pm, and upon leaving told the press that their grandson is "absolutely beautiful".

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall arrived at around 5.30pm for a brief visit, before traveling to Wales for royal duties.

The Prince of Wales teased the baby's unveiling as he left the hospital, telling the crowd: "Wait and see, you'll see in a minute."

Twilight star Nikki Reed has said that she feels pressured to reveal that she is pregnant.

The 23-year-old actress has admitted that, since getting married to former American Idol contestant Paul McDonald in October 2011, she has been expected to announce that she will soon have a child.

She told Celebuzz: "I'm not having a baby! All of Hollywood is pregnant, but I'm not!"

Reed also revealed that her husband is much more broody than she is.

She confessed: "[Babies] are more on the brain for Paul than they are from me. Paul is from the South, so all of his friends are having babies. He looks at me all the time and goes, 'Should we just do this?' I'm like, 'Yeah maybe in a little bit'."

The star joked that with every pregnancy rumor that surfaces she has to reassure her husband's parents that she is simply bloated.

She said: " to call my in-laws and tell them, 'I swear! I just ate lunch!'"

Although Reed admitted that she is not currently ready for the responsibilities that bringing up a child entails, she has indicated when she might be willing to become a parent.

She told Us Weekly: "I just want to make sure that I do it young enough that my parents are still young, if that makes sense. My parents were in their mid-30s when they had me. I don't want to be 40 when I have a baby."

Taiwanese actress Shu Qi recently appeared to have gone public with her relationship with Hong Kong star Stephen Fung after she posted a photo of her cat with the actor on Instagram on Wednesday.

Fans took it as a sign that the pair are together, and excitedly congratulated the couple.

Yesterday morning, she posted another photo of her cat sitting in a luggage that was filled with men’s clothes. Netizens then speculated that the actress was helping Stephen pack his luggage, and that they are going on a holiday together.

In the afternoon, Stephen followed suit and posted a photo of her cat, with the caption: “Have you eaten?”

Not long after, Shu Qi posted another photo of her cat, with the words: “Missing you!” These actions appeared to confirm speculations that they are indeed together.

When queried by reporters, her publicity manager gave an enigmatic reply. She said: “Think however you want. It’s natural to post photos, and anyway they will not deliberately announce or deny anything. It’s been so many years, everyone should know.”

The Taiwanese singer finally admits to his relationship with Laurinda Ho

Kenji Wu, Laurinda Ho

Taiwanese Mandopop star Kenji Wu recently publicly confessed that Laurinda Ho, daughter of Macau’s casino magnate, is his girlfriend, after the pair has been dating in secret for two years.

34-year-old Kenji was photographed going out with 22-year-old Laurinda on several occasions, and they have reportedly gone to Maldives for a holiday, and Kenji even expressed his love for her on Weibo.

Despite so, they have never admitted openly that they are a couple, and when quizzed by reporters, Kenji had always maintained that Laurinda is a “good friend”.

But during a recent interview with the Hong Kong media, when reporters asked if Laurinda is indeed his girlfriend, he candidly replied: “Yes!”

Reporters then praised the couple for being a compatible pair, to which Kenji replied happily: “Thanks!”

As he has been busy with his fashion label and entertainment firm, while Laurinda has been busy working in Beijing, how does the pair maintain their relationship?

“We can meet as long as we are sincere about it,” he replied with a smile.

He added candidly, “We try to interact less on Weibo, as we both don’t want to be high profile about our relationship. We don’t want our relationship to affect our work and create stress.”

Joey Yung berates Chapman To for inappropriate joke

Chapman To angers Joey Yung after cracking a joke at the Cantopop queen’s expense

Chapman To Joey Yung

Hong Kong actor Chapman To angered Cantopop queen Joey Yung after cracking a mean joke about her at singer Ronald Ng’s concert, said Hong Kong media.

During the concert, which was held last Saturday, Chapman revealed that he had invited Emperor Group CEO Yang Shou Cheng to invest in movie Diva two years ago, in a bid to help Joey clinch the Best Actress award. However, Joey did not manage to garner any awards, while Chapman was the one who was awarded with the “Judges’ Prize” for Best Actor.

The 41-year-old joked, “She (Joey) only just realised that I took advantage of her, so I’m dedicating this song to her. I hope that she’ll never meet someone as unlucky as me.”

Offended, Joey reprimanded him on the Internet, “When is a grown adult like you going to learn how not to cause trouble or step on other people to make yourself look better.” She added that he derived pleasure from hurting people, and is the only person whom she hates in the industry.

Chapman beat a hasty retreat, apologising and claiming that he had cracked an inappropriate joke to raise the atmosphere of the concert. He said, “I apologise to Miss Joey Yung with utmost sincerity… I treasure this friendship very much… I’m sorry!”

Last night, Chapman apologised once again, expressing that making people laugh is the most important thing to a comedian, but that has caused hurt to other people, making him think that he should be more careful in the future.

Chapman reflected on his actions saying: “After what happened this time, I should review my behaviour carefully, or else not only have I let down my friend, I will also have let down my position. I will be more careful in the future.”

After Bosco Wong and Vanessa Yeung's 3 month romance surfaced, yesterday [Oriental Daily] obtained a very precious photo of the couple. The couple were caught kissing on camera at the outdoor seating of some restaurant. From the surroundings and their outfits in the photo, they were probably on their date in a Sai Kung restaurant. That day, the two didn't just hold hands and share a cookie, they also shared a sweet kiss! 

Just became the new "Mrs. Bosco", yesterday morning Vanessa was spotted driving Bosco's "wife" (antique car) to Tsim Sha Tsui to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards press conference. Vanessa got out of the car with a wide smile on her face. Asked if she's really dating Bosco? She openly admitted: "Yes la, still getting to know one another." She also added she has known Bosco for a long time. Asked if it was Bosco who pursued her? She said: "You all should ask him." When speaking of the two caught on a date in Sai Kung? She smiled: "Just normal social activities. (Held hands and kissed?) Yes la, please give us some space." Asked what she liked about Bosco? Vanessa praised Bosco for being filial and he's ambitious. Is she not afraid of a 'sister-brother' relationship? She said: "Most important is being able to communicate." Asked if Bosco's ex-girlfriend Myolie Wu knew about their relationship? She said: "Thank you all." When Vanessa was getting into her car, reporters kept asking her questions about the relationship, but she just smiled sweetly and did not answer. Asked if she and Bosco are going on a date later tonight? She expressed she's going home. 

Also, yesterday afternoon Bosco appeared at TVB City in Tseung Kwan O getting ready work on new series Double Fantasies. Bosco had on the same hat he wore that day when he was spotted kissing Vanessa. Asked about Vanessa driving his beloved car? Bosco said: "She borrowed it. She took my car to the shop. (Why don't you let others borrow the car when they ask?) Well I have many cars and this one doesn't get driven much, so just got someone to use it." Asked what stage their relationship has developed to? He said: "Ok la, still getting to know each other. (So sweet?) I'm very happy now." Asked about their Sai Kung date? He had the same response as Vanessa, "Just normal social activities. We haven't met the parents yet, but my mother already knows about us." He praised Vanessa's high EQ, she's clever and they have things in common. When speaking of a 'sister-brother' relationship, he defended his girlfriend: "Age is not something we consider." Bosco also declared his love, "We were just doing things normal people would do. I hope everyone will give us some personal space. We are both serious towards this relationship and I really hope to get blessings from you all. I would really appreciate it." 

Myolie Sends Blessings to Ex-Boyfriend 

Yesterday ex-girlfriend Myolie expressed she already knew about the relationship because many people notified her. She's currently in Osaka, Japan and expressed in a long distance telephone interview that she wish Bosco and his girlfriend the best. "Congratulations to them. I wish them all the best." Ex-boyfriend has already found a new lover, what about Myolie? She said: "I'm working hard on it!" 

Kate Tsui Clueless about Bosco's New Romance

Former rumored girlfriend Kate Tsui waas asked about "good brother' Bosco Wong's new romance, but Kate asked the reporter back: "Which good brother? I have many good brothers. (Bosco!) Huh? I'm not sure, did he admit it yet? Wait until he tells us first! (Are you going to ask him?) Nope, I don't gossip. You help me ask him! I haven't seen him since the last series we filmed Midas." 

ORLANDO & MIRANDA Are Getting Divorced

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are DONE ... the two gorgeous people have announced they're splitting up after 3 years of marriage. 

O & M -- who started dating back in 2007 -- released a joint statement through their reps saying, "They have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation."

"Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family."

The couple has one kid together -- their son Flynn, who was born in 2011. 

The announcement is pretty shocking considering Miranda and Orlando were spotted out in public together -- smiling and laughing on October 7 in NYC. 

And just a couple of months before that, Orlando and Miranda were joking about each other to the media -- with Miranda claiming O has a foot fetish. 

We shot Orlando back in July and asked him about it -- and he laughed it off. It's unclear what went south between then and now.  

The divorce could get messy when it comes to money -- since they have a ton. According to Forbes, Miranda is the second highest paid model in the world -- raking in more than $7 mil in the past year.  And Orlando Bloom's got "Hobbit" money. 

It's unclear if the couple has officially filed for divorce at this point -- but it seems like that's just a matter of time.

Love is kerrupt!

Or at least it is in this instance… because somehow, it fizzled between Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr.

After six years of romance, three years of marriageimage and a gorgeous son, the two confirmed a blossoming rumor of pending divorce by releasing a statement through Orlando's rep:

"In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation. Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as familyimage."

Aww, remember when they started dating in 2007?

We had so much hope!

Whenever the Pirates of the Caribbean actor attended one of her Victoria's Secret fashion shows, he gawked with such adoration! They were so cute!!

Just like their son, Flynn, who was born in January of 2011!!

They were all just a big bundle of adorable, and now they're splitsville. Oh, love… you wicked rollercoaster, you…

We wish you all the best in this sticky time!

Emma Watson has revealed that she has chosen not to date other famous people. 

The Harry Potter actress said in the April 2014 issue of Elle Australia that she prefers men who don't have the scrutiny of the public eye.

'Noah' film premiere, New York, America - 26 Mar 2014  Emma Watson  26 Mar 2014

"I don't date people who are famous. I don't think it's fair that, all of a sudden, intimate details of their personal life are public as a direct result of me. I wish I could protect them," Watson explained. 

Earlier this month, the 23-year-old actress admitted that she herself has struggled with the pressures of being famous. 

"As a younger woman, that pressure got me down, but I've made peace with it," she said. "With airbrushing and digital manipulation, fashion can be an unobtainable image that's dangerously unhealthy."

Watson currently stars opposite Russell Crowe in Darren Arronofsky's Noah.

Drake Bell condemns "disgusting" Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga fans

Drake Bell has accused Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande of encouraging bad behavior from their fans.

The Drake & Josh actor has been critical of Bieber in the past for his legal troubles, and has now complained to Buzzfeed about a culture of "entitled" celebrities.

Drake Bell arrives at Nickelodeon's 25th Annual Kids' Choice Awards on Saturday, March 31, 2012 in Los Angeles.

"There's just a lot of really young, entitled people," Bell complained. "I don't think a lot of these young people have to work very hard. They're found on YouTube and, boom, thrown into the studio so they think they can get anything they want." 

He added: "Ariana Grande is a billionaire before she's been an artist. You have to work to be able to appreciate what you have, and what work did she ever have to do in her life?"

Bell also took issue with stars like Grande, Gaga and Bieber's treatment of their loyal fans.

"If I catch one of my fans saying something improper, a gay slur or any derogatory term, I instantly tweet directly at them and say, 'This isn't how we do it'," Bell explained. 

The former Splash USA star went on to say: "Lady Gaga, who says she's so anti-bullying, was on [Howard Stern's SiriusXM show] and Howard read all of these awful, awful tweets her fans had been sending him, [and] asked how she responded to her fans doing the exact antithesis of what she stands for. She said, 'You have to understand, Howard, it comes from a place of love. They don't want to see me get hurt'. 

"I couldn't believe she didn't take a second to address her fans and say how disgusted she was they'd do something like that. But none of them do that. Justin Bieber just tweets, 'Yeah, Beliebers, go hard' when they're attacking somebody. 

"Ariana Grande's fans told Perez Hilton that he and his son needed to die and get cancer, and she just fed it. It's disgusting."

No responses from Bieber, Grande and Gaga have been issued as of yet.

The aim of the project - which launched in September last year - is to find artists who can creatively express their take on freedom. They will then win a $10,000 grant to a nonprofit organization of their choice.

Cyrus said of her involvement: "Art can speak volumes, I'm glad to join Madonna in encouraging people to have their voices heard.

"It's an ideal home to see how each of us can participate in changing the world for the better."

Madonna added: "There has never been a more crucial time to participate and help create change in the world.

"I've been so inspired by people's submissions since we began and I welcome Miley's input along with her fans to express themselves artistically and to share their creative ideas on the subject of human rights and freedom of speech.

"Miley and I look forward to hearing your voices in the format of your choice throughout the month of April and onward."

The pair previously joined forces to perform a duet at Cyrus's first ever MTV Unplugged session in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Katy Perry acted as a guest curator for Madonna's Art for Freedom project back in January, while David Blaine held the role in December.
