Another Chinese actor booked for drugs

3 Nov – Another Chinese actor has reportedly been arrested for drug abuse recently.

According to Sina News, 44-year-old model-actor Hu Dong, who has worked in many period dramas including "Swordsman", "Legend of Chu and Han" as well as "Heroes of Sui and Tang", has reportedly admitted to using crystal meth after being nabbed on 16 October.

Hu Dong, who hailed from Zhejiang and is the older brother of actor Hu Bing, was tested positive for the drug, according to the police.

Previously, the actor dismissed such rumours after a Beijing local media reported the news that an actor surnamed Hu has been booked by the police. However, the police record's data of the arrested star showed that it is consistent with the actor's identity.

Hu Dong's camp cannot be reached for comments.

UPDATED-Mark Chao and Gao Yuanyuan's wedding banquet in November

Mark Chao and Gao Yuanyuan to marry this year?
Mark Chao’s father, Allen Chao, claimed that the couple will be marrying either this or next year
Mark Chao, Gao Yuanyuan

Taiwanese-Canadian actor Mark Chao’s May-December relationship with Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan has been going well, and it seems wedding bells will soon be ringing for the couple.

After collaborating in movie Caught in the Web, 29-year-old Mark and 34-year-old Yuanyuan started dating. In March 2012, they were revealed to have stayed in a hotel together for five whole days, and not long after that, the couple was spotted strolling – with their hands tightly clasped together – late at night, inadvertently confirming their relationship.

Their relationship has stabilised over the past year. Mark has not been stingy with declaring his marriage plans, even revealing that he plans to settle down before his 30th birthday. As he will be turning thirty on September 25, there has been widespread speculation that the wedding will occur late this year.

However, rumour has it that Allen did not approve of Mark’s relationship initially, and had shot down speculation about his marriage with Yuanyuan.

Yesterday, when Allen was asked about his son’s marriage, he no longer held a negative attitude towards Yuanyuan, praising her for having a good upbringing and personality, and being understanding. He added that when Yuanyuan visits Taipei, she would always be sure to visit him and his wife.

He said that the couple’s marriage “will likely happen next year if it doesn’t happen this year, and Mark will announce the exact date himself”. He also grumbled, “There are many things that I only get to know just a little earlier than the fans. I’ll let the lovebirds settle their marriage themselves; I’ll just focus on being the officiator.”

Mark did not deny the claims that his father made regarding his marriage: “I’ve always been planning for marriage, since I’m almost thirty. As I’ve said before, I’ll be sure to let everyone know once the details are finalised.”

Emma Watson may have been confirmed as the female star of Fifty Shades of Grey

A group of online hackers known collectively as Anonymous reportedly hacked into the internal server of German studio Constantin film, and leaked several documents, including one relating to the upcoming Focus Features adaptation.

39th Annual People's Choice Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live - Press Room: Emma Watson Fifty Shades of Grey

The document states that Watson is attached to star as naive college student Ana Steele, whose relationship with sexually sadistic billionaire Christian Grey is at the center of the erotic trilogy.

The hackers, who have previously leaked phone numbers and credit card information from celebrities including Beyoncé and Kanye West, boasted about their success on Twitter, and the leak was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. 

Along with several documents relating to films that Constantin is considering for acquisition, the hackers also published a list of employees' email addresses. 

It has long been rumored that Watson is a frontrunner for the role of Ana, although she herself has denied any involvement. 

No director has yet been confirmed for the adaptation of EL James's bestselling novel, which is being written by Kelly Marcel and produced by Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti (The Social Network).

Hayden Panettiere confirms pregnancy in Ice Bucket Challenge video

Hayden Panettiere has confirmed that she is pregnant while taking part in the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Reports that the actress was expecting her first child with boxer fiancé Wladimir Klitschko first emerged in May.

The Nashville star revealed the pregnancy by nominating her unborn child as one of the next challengers to take up the charitable dare. She also nominated both Klitschko and country singer Kasey Musgraves.

Stars across the globe have now taken to the Ice Bucket Challenge, to raise awareness for those suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or motor neurone disease).

The cast of Gotham, former US president George W Bush and X Factor judges Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Mel B are some of the most recent participants.

Panettiere recently claimed that she and Klitschko had put plans to wed on hold due to the civil turmoil in Ukraine.

200 artistes attend TVB's 2015 Sales Presentation recording

陳豪同佘詩曼幾開心!

TVB's 2015 Sales Presentation had their recording yesterday night, with approximately 200 artistes attending, led by Dodo Cheng, Charmaine Sheh and Roger Kwok. Together, the group presented the upcoming 17 dramas and variety shows in the new year to nearly 1000 clients. They also passed out gifts and took photos with them off stage. Different from past years where they show pre-recorded trailers of the series, this year, they had artistes act it out on stage. 

In the 17 dramas, Tavia Yeung, who just renewed her contract this year, and the heavily promoted Grace Chan, both have 3 dramas each - the female actresses with the most dramas on hand. TV King favourite Wayne Lai has two dramas, while other first line actors like Myolie Wu, Kenneth Ma, Linda Chung, Kate Tsui and Moses Chan all have one drama only. 

Louis Cheung and Kay Tse become leads 

Speaking of other artistes like Bosco Wong who do not have any dramas in the sales presentation, Producer Wai Sai Fai explained that last night only included a part of the dramas, as they were not able to record all of them. In the coming year, actors like Ada Choi, John Chiang, etc are returning to TVB. Couple JJ Jia and Louis Fan will be cooperating in the same drama. Louis Cheung, who has been climbing up the ranks lately, will be the lead of upcoming drama "Close Regulations of Conscience", while his wife, Kay Tse will also be filming a drama for the first time. Last night, he even went on stage to introduce his wife's new drama "Vampire". "Vampire" leads Kay Tse and Kevin Cheng were absent from the sales presentation due to filming in the Netherlands. 
 
In the sales presentation, Wayne Lai has two dramas, "The Lord of Shanghai" and "公公出宮" (previously known as "Eunuch Five Tigers"; 公公出宮 roughly translates to Eunuch Leaves Palace), which made him the male artiste with the most dramas. He humbly said: "It's just a difference of one and two dramas." As for the comedy "Eunuch Five Tigers", he will be cooperating with Ada Choi once again. The drama will also include the "Five Eunuchs" (from drama "The Confidant") and John Chiang, who has returned to TVB. It will be the spinoff of "The Confidant", revolving around how eunuchs blended into society in the pre-modern times. Talking about his high chances of claiming the TV King award again this year, he expressed that there are a lot of competitors, but admitted that "Over-Achievers" is his favourite drama in recent years. Asked if there's pressure in terms of ratings, he stated: "There isn't really a standard nowadays, there aren't any special reasons to why ratings may be good or bad. I hope that there will be positive responses online, attracting the audience to "chase" the drama."

Yang Zishan denies marriage rumours

5 Nov – Chinese actress Yang Zishan has dismissed rumours saying that she and boyfriend Wu Zhongtian have registered their marriage in Nanjing.

As reported on HK Top Ten News, the actress, who attended a press conference for her new film "Shanghai Noire" in Macau recently, stated that it was unlikely for them to be registering their marriage at the time being, seeing that their parents have not even met each other.

Yang also stated that they have decided to postpone any plans for a wedding due to her boyfriend's leg injury.

"We will wait until he is fully recovered before making any decisions," said the "So Young" star.

Keira Knightley rules out Pirates of the Caribbean return


Keira Knightley has ruled out a return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. 

The actress played Elizabeth Swann in the first three Pirates installments, and her co-star Orlando Bloom recently suggested he would be open to coming back.

"No, I don't think so," Knightley told Digital Spy when asked about a return. 

"It was an amazing point in my life, but it was a good five-year chunk. It was incredible, but I can't really imagine going back to it."

The fifth film, entitled Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, is currently in the casting stages, with Javier Bardem rumored for the villain.

A slew of young actors including Ansel Elgort and George MacKay are in contention for the male lead. 

Knightley's new film The Imitation Game is released this Friday (November 7).

Taylor Swift's 1989 achieves biggest sales week in US since 2002
Taylor Swift has achieved the biggest album sales week in the US since 2002.

It's the biggest sales week for an artist since Eminem's The Eminem Show logged 1.322 million copies during its second week back in June 2002.
What's more, Swift has become the only artist to have three million-selling weeks with an album in the history of the US chart, reports Billboard.
The star's previous album Red sold 1.208 million copies during its first week in 2012, while 2010's Speak Now achieved 1.047 million opening sales.
The massive sales of 1989 makes it the second highest selling album of 2014 in the US after one week on sale. It's currently behind the Frozen soundtrack, which has sold 3.2 million copies in the US this year.
The impressive sales also follows Swift's decision to withhold 1989 from being available to stream on services such as Spotify and Deezer, while also removing her back catalog from the platform.
Meanwhile, Swift has announced plans for a world tour to accompany 1989, which includes a string of dates across North America, as well as a large show in London's Hyde Park as part of British Summer Time 2015.

6 Nov – Ten years after the success of their Taiwanese series "It Started with a Kiss", Jiro Wang and Joe Cheng will be working together again in the new mainland series "Together Because Were Single".

According to Yes Entertainment, the two actors will also be working alongside "The Legend of Zhen Huan" actress, Xu Lu, who will play the duo's love interest.

The new series tells the story of three young people who live in a condominium that forbids its residents from falling in love, and where violation of the rule may lead to eviction.

Charlene is a really cute actress from Hong Kong. She debuted at the age of 18 in 2000 as a actress, than she debuted as a singer in the most popular Hong Kong band TWINS at 19, and is the youngest female ever to hold a concert in Hong Kong Colisuem. In her short 7 years in the singing industry and 9 years in the movie industry, she has already made over 30 movies, 3 series. Not to mention in the "Twins". Currently working on the movie industry.

Charlene was born in Vancouver, Canada. However her family moved back to Hong Kong a year later. She currently resides in Kowloon. Her height is 5'5".
Charlene studied at a number of different institutions. She attended Marymount Secondary School. In the year 1998, due to her poor academic result and conduct, she was transferred to Rosaryhill School for her studies. In the year 2001, after completed her F.5 studies, she started to become a full-time model in Hong Kong.

In 2001, she was offered to form the Emperor Entertainment Group musical group Twins with Gillian Chung (colloquially known as Gill). Choi since then has been come to known as Charlene, or simply Ah-Sa. In the beginning of twins, there have always been rumors of the two not getting along, mostly because of difference between the two's characters. Gillian was always thought of as the more conservative, and quiet one, while Charlene was the more talkative and outgoing type of character. After 3 or 4 years together, they both had time off and had arranged to go to Taiwan together. After spending so much more stress free time together, they really got to know each other a lot better, and the two have now become best friends. Now after being in the group for over 6 years, twins have announced numerous times that they do not want to be apart, and really enjoy being with each other despite the fact that their management company EEG had suggestions of having the two have solo careers. Twins is now still just as popular as before and have been continuing producing lots of records and movies, and are two of the most successful artists of EEG. Gillian is filming a television series in mainland China, so Charlene has been separated from her for many months now, with many to come, and has been somewhat doing solo acts on TV appearances.

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd charged with murder plot in New Zealand

AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd charged with murder plot in New Zealand

A television frame grab shows AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, attending a hearing in court in Tauranga, New Zealand on November 6, 2014

The drummer with legendary rock band AC/DC, Phil Rudd, was accused Thursday of trying to hire a hitman to kill two men after police raided his luxury New Zealand home.

Police swooped on the veteran rocker's waterfront house at Tauranga in the North Island in the early hours and charged him with "attempting to procure murder" and threatening to kill.

They also charged the 60-year-old with possessing methamphetamine and cannabis after allegedly finding the drugs in his property, Tauranga District Court was told.

Court officials confirmed Rudd, a long-time member of one of the world's highest grossing bands, was granted bail and ordered to reappear on November 27.

He looked tired and tousled as he appeared in court shoeless and wearing a baggy grey jumper, with his lawyer unsuccessfully arguing that media should not be allowed to take images of him because they just wanted to capture his client "at his worst".

He was not required to enter a plea during his brief appearance but court documents reveal he is accused of trying to organise a hitman to kill two men in late September, although judge Louis Bidois suppressed the identities of those involved.

Rudd, who has played on hits including "Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap" and "Highway to Hell", refused to comment after leaving court and was driven away in a silver Mercedes Benz.

Under New Zealand law, attempting "to procure any person to murder any other person" is punishable by up to 10 years in jail, while threatening to kill can attract a seven-year sentence.

- Fans stunned by charges -

Stunned fans reacted on social media, airing concerns about the future of the band, which is still reeling from the retirement of founding member Malcolm Young in September after he entered a Sydney care facility suffering from dementia.

"This is so shocking i hope its not true but i will be praying for u guys and i hope yalls pull through this and bring him back," Joseph Anderson wrote on the band's official Facebook page, which has more than 30 million likes.

Tina Durst Van Gundy posted: "No matter... still one of my all time favourite bands... hang in there guys."

Australian-born Rudd joined the band in 1975 and left in 1983 after arguing with founding member Malcolm Young.

He moved to New Zealand at the time, settling in the coastal community of Tauranga, about 150 kilometres (90 miles) southeast of Auckland.

He remained in the area even after patching up his differences with the band in 1994, using it as his base as he followed a punishing global touring schedule with the notoriously hard-living heavy metal pioneers.

Rudd was part of the AC/DC line-up inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 and won a Grammy for best hard rock performance with the band for "War Machine" in 2010.

Later that year he was convicted of cannabis possession after police raided his boat, receiving a fine of NZ$250 ($190).

AC/DC are one of the best selling music acts of all time, amassing sales estimated at 200 million albums worldwide featuring songs that remain staples on classic rock radio, including "Back in Black", "Jailbreak" and "High Voltage".

Rudd, who released a solo album "Head Job" in August, said earlier this year that Malcolm Young's illness would not spell the end for the band.

"It'll never happen. Angus (Young) will never retire and as long as Angus never retires I won't retire either," he said then.

The band have since announced a new album, "Rock or Bust", will shortly be released and they were due to undertake a world tour in 2015.
