Singer Son DamBi will continue her ‘DamBi fever’ to the rest of Asia.
According to Pledis, Son DamBi will be active in China and SEA in the later half of this year.
The Pledis representative said, “There has been many requests for Son DamBi to do promotions in various Asian countries. Recently, we have met up with some of the locals promoters to discuss about that. We will choose our promoters carefully and once that is done we will go ahead with her overseas activities.”
Even though Son DamBi has not done any overseas promotions since her debut, she had enjoyed high popularity in the region, especially in China. This is partly due to the song ‘Crazy’ which she released in September 2008 which was very well received by fans in the region.
Son DamBi’s appearances also carry both the Western and Eastern charms which made her a big attraction to promoters in the region.
Meanwhile, Son DamBi recently released her 2nd minialbum and she is currently promoting the title song ‘queen’.

Popular Wei Li An and his song have become popular
Until today, Weibird Wei Li An is still yet to make an appearance on a TV show yet he has become popular and his songs have become popular. In real life, as soon as Weibird has his hair unstyled and wear glasses, he immediately becomes an ordinary citizen. In fact, 3 times people mentioned that, "You have the same first and last name as that singer"; he revealed that currently his mode of transport is still the MTR, very pleased he added, "The feeling of being able to separate my work and personal life is fantastic."
In real life, Weibird who doesn't like to dress up too much, is a really ordinary citizen. One month after his album was released, there were 3 embarrassing occasions of "The greatest separation in the world, Weibird is standing in front of you but you still can't recognize him". The first time was when he was filling out paperwork for a new phone, when he gave the customer service personnel his details, they commented, "You have the same first and last name as that singer who just debuted." All he could do was awkwardly reply, "That's right."; later on when he went to the doctor and to the district office, he was again mistaken as someone who simply had the same name, causing Weibird to be unsure of whether he should find it funny or embarrassing.
On August 15, Weibird will return to perform at Riverside Live House, the place he first performed at 2 years ago and the tracklist will be entirely different to his September concert one. It will include songs he usually enjoys listening to and some of his own pieces that he's never performed before. Tickets were sold out within seconds but Weibird said, "It's okay, to those who couldn't buy tickets, you can still ask me to sign your CD that day after the concert."
Then on September 18 and 25, Weibird will be performing bigger concerts at Taipei TICC and Taichung Chung Hsing University respectively.

Patty Hou still single this year
Patty Hou has been engaged for over 6 months yet she will still be a single woman on this year's Chinese Valentine's Day. At yesterday's Charriol Chinese Valentine's new product launch, Patty revealed that the wedding had been scheduled for September in the Maldives but because some elderly family members had poor health, they have decided to postpone the wedding date to the end of the year, "This should be the last time I spend Valentine's Day as a single woman."
Even though Patty is "single", Charriol took into consideration that she will soon be someone's wife so for yesterday's Chinese Valentine's Day event, Charriol found little kids to accompany Patty. Her interactions with the little kids who were dressed up as Cupids were very natural and she even played kisses with them; Patty admitted that during these past few years, she has started to really love kids but after they get married, she wants to first enjoy life as a couple and isn't in a hurry to have kids.
Patty was originally going to hold her wedding in the Maldives and invite 100 guests. It is estimated that the wedding expenses as well as airfares, food and accommodation would be over $NT10 million but because her fiancee's grandmother and her own grandmother have had poor health recently, they cannot travel such a distance so the wedding has to be postponed.
Charriol's Chinese Valentine's new Forever Young range has a neutral style. The five chains represent true heart, trust, respect, commitment and forgiveness, while the type of steel itself represents [love] growing stronger over time. Patty likes to wear matching jewelry or clothing with her fiancee so Charriol gave her a pair of pendants and she happily said that she would convince her fiancee to wear them with her.

SMAP new album
SMAP have become the third group in Japanese history to have No.1 albums in three different decades, reports Oricon and Sponichi Annex.
The group’s latest album “We are SMAP!”, which was released on July 21, made its debut on the Japanese charts at number one, having sold 180,000 records so far. Not only that, but it means SMAP have now had number one album records in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.
Other groups who have achieved such a record are the Southern All Stars (number ones in 1980s, 1990s, 2000s) and CHAGE and ASKA (number ones in 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
It is the fifth consecutive SMAP album to go to number one, and is the group’s 11th number one since their debut in 1991. In a time where the life of a popstar is often short-lived, SMAP’s latest record has proven that they have been able to stand up to the challenge.

Leehom Wang upcoming album “18 Martial Arts”
Yesterday, Leehom Wang held a pre-order signing event for his upcoming album, “18 Martial Arts”, at Ximending. Heavy rain began to fall unexpectedly and two thousand fans at the event became impatient and rowdy and shouted their dissatisfaction toward the media journalists for interviewing Leehom for too long.
It’s been a year and a half since his last album, and “18 Martial Arts” is set to release on July 31st. Fans of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and other places came to show their support for the superstar, but they were all soaked in rain.
The event was originally scheduled to begin at 3pm. Leehom was ten minutes late, but he immediately performed his new single, “Firewood, Rice, Oil, Salt, Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Tea”, as he dashed on stage. The fans in the rain screamed in excitement upon seeing their idol. Leehom’s good friend, Vivian Hsu, who wrote the lyrics for his latest single, also specially flew back from Japan to show her support. She gave Leehom a high-heel shoe shaped telephone as a gift and laughed, “He always busies himself with his fans and music. I’m giving him this, hoping that he can soon find a woman that will care about him and cook good things for him to eat.”
During the interview time, thirty different media crowded the stage, and two journalists quarreled due to fighting for room. The organizers immediately tried to settle the fight, but not just the journalists were heated, the fans below the stage also grew impatient waiting for the media to finish interviewing Leehom. As the media blocked the fans’ view, the fans shouted angrily, “I can’t see!”, “Be considerate of those who are actually in the rain!” And some even shouted, “b*llsh*t!” The fans finally calmed down after Leehom, a little embarrassed, consoled, “It’ll (the interview) be done in another minute.”

Japanese film “Ooku”
Japanese film “Ooku” has just selected Arashi’s song “Dear Snow” to be the theme song for the film. This is not surprising due to the main actor in the film being Arashi’s own Ninomiya Kazunari, but is great news for Arashi fans nonetheless.
The film is about an alternate universe Japan in the Edo era where all of the male population is affected with a mysterious disease that forces the society to become matriarchal. Based on the manga of the same name, it draws upon aspects of gender role reversals to make a stunning semi-historical drama. Nino will be starring opposite female lead Kou Shibasaki.
At the present time no more details about “Dear Snow” being in the film are known. Arashi’s new album “Boku no Miteiru Fuukei” will be released on August 4th, but “Dear Snow” is not confirmed as a track on the album at this time.

Dave Wang retire after his upcoming concert
Singer Dave Wang revealed that he will retire after his upcoming concert tour during an appearance on a Hong Kong television programme on Sunday.
"I am calling it quits. Before I leave, I want to answer to my fans. I came into this industry using my music and I want to use my music to say goodbye to my fans and thank them.
"Don't worry! I, Dave Wang, am a man of my word. When I say I will go, I won't miss the industry and come back. I won't speak irresponsibly," said Wang confidently.
The 47-year-old singer went on to point out that he will go without make-up and would not have back up dancers or stage effects during this concert tour to focus purely on his singing.
"I want to break away from my usual style ... I want to present myself at my most natural," said Wang.
Wang's announcement comes just weeks after he hinted during a publicity that the concert tour, which kicks off on August 7 in Beijing, would be his swansong and remarked cryptically that the audience should hang on to their ticket stubs.
Wang got his first record deal in 1988 and is best known for singing hits like "A Game, A Dream" and "Do I Really Have Nothing" in the 80s and 90s.

Justin Lo new album
Yesterday Justin Lo held an autograph session for his new album. Although the Book Fair on the same day as his autograph session, he is not afraid that his autograph session will be affected. He said that he hopes to make a photo book of his own. Towards which part of his body he has the most confidence in? He said: "All parts. I will only do it one time, planning to have the entire world as the background. But I am only showing my lower body, not my stomach or head." Asked if he paid attention to the young models' photo books? He directly said that he wants to, but won't buy them, does he mean that looking at his girlfriend is already enough? He said: "Not enough! Men who says they don't like beautiful girls, then that's a lie. However, there are really a lot of photo books out there, even 'porkchops' are releasing photo books. I don't know what their names are, but they are really ugly."
Good friend Gary Cho releasing a book, did he help out? Justin said: "No, I wanted him to write about me, but I asked and he said no. I know he wrote about the incident that happened before, I will of course buy a copy to support him. (Rather support a friend then buy a photo book?) Photo books are all over the internet."

Also he stated, “In the US, there isn’t a building like this.”, “The building itself could stand in comparison, even if it were labeled ‘World’s Top Entertainment (Company)’. It fulfills all the needs of celebrities.”
He also added, “When I think about us back then, the YG of today has truly evolved.”
Meanwhile, on the 21st, Se7en will be releasing his new album ‘Digital Bounce’ and his title song ‘Better Together’, making his comeback to the idol world after 3 years and 8 months.

Faye Wong 2010 Tour
Already five years since she's been in the limelight, Faye Wong will be holding 10 shows in Beijing and Shanghai during October and November for her 'Faye Wong 2010 Tour'. Yesterday Faye held a press conference in Beijing to officially kick off her tour and attracted nearly 300 reporters [by invite only]. Faye appeared wearing sandals and stayed for 10 minutes. She did not accept any questions from the reporters. The organizers specially prepared an ice sculpture for her with the numbers '1888' carved into it to reflect the amount her ticket sales have generated. The total sales have reached $18,880,000 RMB (more than $2.5 million USD), making her truly a 'Legendary Queen'.
The press conference was initially scheduled to start at 3 p.m., however Faye did not appear until 3:45 p.m. Faye wore a classic British red and black sundress. Her sandals were see-through and she had dark polish on her toes. Faye's long hair was pulled back and she wore her wedding ring. Reporters began fervently taking photos as she made her appearance on stage. Originally walking at a leisurely pace, Faye was a little taken aback and appeared nervous.
Even though reporters waited a long time, they didn't appeared to be upset and were applauding as she made her way up. Faye was smiling ear to ear as she greeted everyone. "Hello and welcome to the press conference." Faye seemed a little stiff on stage and wasn't able to answer the MC's questions. She was probably out of practice being in the spotlight. When the MC asked her how she managed to sell out her tickets, and if she used any secret tactics? Faye answered, "I don't know! How could there be?"
Later on, Faye officially launched the start of her tour. She also warned fans to beware of counterfeits and reminded fans to check for the 3D security features on the tickets, which she demonstrated with a prop. At the same time, the organizers announced that Faye had broken the record for the highest amount of ticket sales in China, reaching $18,880,000 RMB. She is the only singer, holding three or more consecutive shows at a large scale stadium in China, to reach that amount.
There were many mainland reporters yelling for Faye at the press conference. Photos from Faye's past albums and concerts filled the entire hallway, turning it into a mini 'Walk of Fame'. Many took photos as a souvenir. It seems Faye is well received in China. Fans from around the world also recorded clips to wish Faye a successful concert run.
Faye's 10-day concert tour has achieved an astounding $18,880,000 in sales. The organizers requested Faye and her manager Katie Chan to pop open champagne bottles from the ice sculpture. However, Faye couldn't help but laugh as she was looking at the sculpture - "How could the numbers (1888) be so perfect?" The MC admitted that the actual numbers are beyond that, but 1888 is an auspicious number.

Ah Sa's first Mandarin album
Organized by Guangdong FM 99.3 Radio Station, "M-Zone - Charlene Choi's Debut Mandarin Album 'Confidant' Party" was recently held in Guangzhou. In addition to Ah Sa Charlene Choi appearing in person bringing along her debut Mandarin album , singers Sherman Chung and Ken Hung were special guest performers at the concert.
Following the release of Ah Sa's first Mandarin album, the album has received praise and positive critiques. Ah Sa revealed that over 1 year was spent on preparing and recording the album, with Charlene personally greatly liking each song and with every song portraying her mood and frame of mind. Within the album, (Song audio) is a song Charlene has personally composed (Mandarin version of Charlene's ), Charlene is especially fond of the lyrics sung with emotion, "Because you loved therefore you are willing to part, because you are willing to part therefore there was worth (to the relationship)." As well another song she personally really likes is (MV), a song Charlene says is able to represent her thoughts and feelings. "People often say 'past events are like smoke' (they can easily be forgotten and detached from your life), but there are a lot of memories that are stored in my heart and mind." Another song, a leading fan-favourite entitled (Song audio) includes the English lyrics "Baby I know, maybe it's time for us both to let go" and ends with the Mandarin lyrics "I need to endure, I will endure." Speaking of this, it seems to suggest Charlene Choi and Ronald Cheng's previous relationship. Unforgettable past events are maturing experiences, just as Ah Sa treats love and relationships with a positive and courageous attitude for the future.
Furthermore, there have been rumors constantly flying around that after Charlene's contract with EEG soon expires, she may sign with Huayi Brothers, or start her own independent company, etc. During a press interview, Charlene Choi openly denied these rumors. She expressed that her contract with EEG Music is for 15 years; Ah Sa signed the contract when she was 17 years of age and the contract expires when she is 32. "Previously I felt that contract details were not suitable to be discussed publicly, so I have not spoken of it. But not saying it, there are more and more rumors." In regards to these false contract rumors, Charlene is quite helpless.

"Norwegian Wood" movie
The live-action movie adaptation of Haruki Murakami's popular novel "Norwegian Wood" has actually received approval to use the original Beatles song of the same name as its theme song.
The song "Norwegian Wood," first recorded on the 1965 Beatles album "Rubber Soul," inspired the title of Murakami's novel when he published it in 1987. The song is a thematic element of the story, and the film will faithfully include it in multiple scenes. Although director Tran Anh Hung felt it was only natural to use "Norwegian Wood" as the movie's theme song, negotiations were still incomplete by the time filming wrapped up last August.
Apple Records, which owns the rights to the Beatles catalog, initially refused. The film's producer considered having another artist cover the song, but Hung insisted that the original should be used. His perseverance paid off, as he finally secured approval in December. Apple had a policy against using the Beatles' version of the song in a commercial work, but the company ultimately made an exception for the "Norwegian Wood" adaptation, reportedly taking into account the tremendous popularity of the Murakami novel. So far, it has been translated into 36 languages and has sold 10 million copies in Japan alone.
The last time a Beatles tune was the theme song for a Japanese film was nearly 30 years ago in 1981, when "Let It Be" was used in "Akuryou Tou."
The "Norwegian Wood" movie, which stars Kenichi Matsuyama (25) and Rinko Kikuchi (29), opens in theaters this December.

"The Incite Mill" at theater on October 16
Singer May'n (20) has been chosen to sing the theme song for the upcoming thriller "The Incite Mill." The tune is a rock number called "Shinjite Miru," a play on the movie's title (which is written in Japanese as "Inshite Miru"). This is her first movie theme song since changing her stage name from Mei Nakabayashi (her real name) to May'n.
"The Incite Mill," first announced in January, is a major movie project organized by talent agency Horipro. The film, which tells the story of a group of 10 people trapped and forced to participate in a "death game," is directed by horror filmmaker Hideo Nakata. It features several of Horipro's top stars, including Tatsuya Fujiwara (28), Haruka Ayase (25), and Satomi Ishihara (23).
May'n herself has also been part of Horipro ever since she won the music competition in the 2003 Horipro Talent Scout Caravan at the age of 13. Her big break came a couple years ago when she was selected as the singing voice of the character Sheryl Nome in the popular anime series "Macross Frontier."

Fuyumi Sakamoto's New Album
Enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto's album "Love Songs ~Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru~" reached a major milestone this week. Since its release in October 2009, the album has sold a total of 202,000 copies. This makes Sakamoto the first female enka singer to have an album reach 200,000 in sales since Teresa Teng accomplished it in 1989.
Although there have been hit singles in the enka and kayokyoku genres in recent years, it is difficult for full albums to sell strongly, even when they include a popular song. In Sakamoto's case, her single "Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru" did significantly boost her album sales. Released in January 2009, the song initially charted outside the top ten. However, after Sakamoto's appearance at last year's Kohaku Uta Gassen and the song's increased usage on television, the single climbed to #3 on the weekly charts in April 2010. Along with it, the album, which initially ranked #75 in its first week last October, entered the top ten in April and peaked at #3 in May.

News : Jay Chou
Taiwanese prince of pop Jay Chou was in Tianjin, China recently for his upcoming concert when fans witnessed Jay going into a hospital. According to reports, Jay was visiting a sick patient, who is also an avid fan of his.
Jay's company originally arranged for a phone interview with the cancer-stricken child, but the star insisted on going down personally, giving the child a pleasant surprise.
Besides giving the child his autographed album, Jay also offered precious words of encouragement for the child: "Although you can't watch the concert in Tianjin, you can go and watch the others once you've recovered."
Jay also promised the child to invite him to the concert once his surgery is over.
This is not the first time the modest superstar had shown his delicate side.
Back in 2004, a female fan of Jay's was involved in a serious accident and doctors declared the girl in a vegetative state with no hope of recovering. However, the girl's mother found out that she responds to Jay's songs and miraculously, she woke up from her coma.
According to the girl's mother, Jay frequently comes to visit, but never speaks of it publicly: "Jay and his mother are both kind people; he was just like a big brother to her."

News : Ghost Writer
The 2 hour finale of TVB series , which aired this past Friday, garnered average ratings of 36 points (2.3 million viewers), peaking at 41 points (2.61 million viewers). The average ratings for the entire week (finale week) was 33 points, which is an increase of 3 points from previous weeks.
male lead Steven Ma is often viewed as TVB’s ‘General Fortune’ – even with his series being pitted against the World Cup, it was still able to garner high ratings. In reply to this, Steven laughed and indicated that he has a special ‘fated relationship’ with the World Cup – back in 2002, his series was also pitted against the World Cup that year and was still able to garner good ratings.
Asked if he would be celebrating with his girlfriend, Steven replied: “When I get good results at work, my family and friends are always happy for me. I will be treating the cast and crew to dinner though.” (Does this give you more confidence in the race for TV King at the awards ceremony?) “Every year, I hope that I am able to get recognition and possibly an award, but a lot of things are not up to me to decide.” Someone mentioned that perhaps Steven should consult with ‘Octopus Oracle Paul’ to see what his chances are for the award, to which Steven replied that it would only put added pressure, so he would rather not know the results ahead of time.
With a successful career now, Steven was asked when he will get married and start a family: “Getting married is a part of life. I will definitely get married, but the date has not been determined yet.”
Producer Leung Choi Yuen also publicly thanked the viewers and expressed that the series being able to achieve a 41 point rating given the challenge of going up against the World Cup was no easy feat – he feels that he has fulfilled his obligation.
As for the ratings for TVB’s other series that aired last week:
- The ratings for the sitcom increased by 2 points, averaging 25 points overall
- The ratings for also increased by 2 points, averaging 31 points overall
On a different note, the re-broadcast of TVB’s series from 1998 in the midnight timeslot was able to garner an average 5 point rating for its 3 hour finale on Saturday.

Mr. Hong Kong 2010 on August 21
Mr. Hong Kong 2010 would be held in August 21. TVB picked 10 Mr. HK contestants from 29 people who came to interview. Yesterday the 10 contestants were arranged to meet with TVB's high executives. But the quality among the contestants varied. Sam, who has many pimples on his face successfully made into the next round, and is supported by Ho Lai Chun, who said it's easy to get rid of acne. TVB would also increase production fee, providing 3D effect for viewers to enjoy Mr. HK contestants in swimwear and getting wet. It would even arrange viewers to enjoy the 3D effect in theaters and mall.
During interviewing, "sunshine Eric Suen" Angus Yip and Mr. Asia 2005 runner-up William Chak made into round of 10 successfully. Specially tanned himself, Angus seems more sunshine than before. Although photos of him taking off his shirt are exposed from Facebook, but he said he hasn't delete his account yet. William is said he looks like Michael Miu. Asked whether he is confident in winning? He said: "Depends on fate, no much confidence." When requested to pose a Michael Miu pose to take pictures, he said embarrassingly: "Don't play me lar!"
The youngest contestant (18 years old) Argus seemed reserved. He doesn't know how to pose and black-faced because he doesn't know what to do. In contrast, 20-year-old Michael from Vancouver changed a lot compared to last time during interview. Besides answering all questions, he also gave reporters an Edison-style smile. Lee Yin Gong from Malaysia tried to win good impression from female reporters with his electrified eyes.
Ho Lai Chun expressed the reason why there are only 10 Mr. Hong Kong contestants is because they won't divide them into youth and maturity groups anymore. Age ranges from 18 to 35 years old. Besides looking at their looks, they would also stress on performance, so that's why among the contestants there are performers from Mainland TV station and gym teachers. Many also have fundamentals in kungfu. Several of them even know wing-chun.

The youngest contestant (18 years old) Argus seemed reserved. He doesn't know how to pose and black-faced because he doesn't know what to do. In contrast, 20-year-old Michael from Vancouver changed a lot compared to last time during interview. Besides answering all questions, he also gave reporters an Edison-style smile. Lee Yin Gong from Malaysia tried to win good impression from female reporters with his electrified eyes.
Ho Lai Chun expressed the reason why there are only 10 Mr. Hong Kong contestants is because they won't divide them into youth and maturity groups anymore. Age ranges from 18 to 35 years old. Besides looking at their looks, they would also stress on performance, so that's why among the contestants there are performers from Mainland TV station and gym teachers. Many also have fundamentals in kungfu. Several of them even know wing-chun.
Faye Wong 2010 Concert
Five years since her last concert, Faye Wong will be returning to the stage for 10 shows in Beijing and Shanghai as part of her 'Faye Wong 2010 Concert'. Promotional posters for her concerts were released yesterday. The organizers also announced ticket prices. While the most expensive tickets are going for $2,500 RMB in Beijing, that hasn't deterred Faye fans from purchasing tickets. In fact, all the tickets were sold out in 10 minutes!
Making her comeback this October, Faye will be holding concerts at the Wukesong Culture and Sports Center in Beijing and at the Shanghai World Expo Cultural Center in Shanghai for a total of 10 shows. Her Beijing concert dates are October 29-31 and November 5-6; Shanghai dates are November 19-20 and November 26-28. Ticket prices were announced yesterday, with the most expensive selling for $2,500 RMB, while the cheapest is at $300 RMB. Prices in the middle fall within four categories of $500, $1,000, $1,500 and $2,000 RMB. Ticket prices are more reasonable than what was earlier speculated. Many believed tickets would cost an average of $1,000 RMB.
Tickets for her Beijing shows began selling yesterday. Once the news broke out, Faye fans immediately flooded the phone lines. The $2,500 and $300 RMB tickets were sold out in 10 minutes. Based on the experience, the ticketing agency has promised to double the staff on hand to handle tickets sales for Faye's Shanghai concerts.
As well, the official promotional poster was released yesterday. Faye appears wearing a headpiece made from yellow feathers, resembling a hawk. She also wears a red poncho. Her style is very unique and avant garde. TiTi Kwan, who is Faye's image consultant, says the look is inspired by Qi Baishi's painting, Morning Glory. The poster is very simple and direct and shows off Faye's inner personality. While the poster is very captivating, Faye hopes that concert goers will not be focusing their attention on the stage design or the artistry. "I feel like I need to emphasize what's important. Music will be the main focus. The costumes or the stage design will not be the selling point. It won't be good if it's too over the top! I want to create something that can last for one or two shows. We don't necessarily have to make money from this. It will be a simple concert. Everyone coming will be expecting to hear music. It won't be fancy, maybe I won't even have make up on!" From the song selection to the stage setup, Faye has taken part in all the preparations for her upcoming shows. Faye expressed that she has prepared a selection of classics to sing, including 'Wishing We Last Forever, 'Red Bean', 'I'm Willing', as well as new songs like 'Legend' and 'You Lan Cao'.
It has been reported that Faye will be earning $6,500,000 RMB from the concerts. Faye will be donating $500,000 to the Smile Angel Foundation, which was established by her and her husband, Li Yapeng, to help kids suffering from cleft palate. The organizers have stated they will target fraud and prevent scalpers from inflating the ticket prices to protect the best interests of the fans.

iCable won World Cup 2010
iCable won World Cup 2010's broadcast rights, leaving TVB and ATV "no broadcast at all". However, for the opening match, semi finals and the finals, iCable offered a 1 dollar nominal fee (token value) broadcast contract with the two stations TVB and ATV, but require the signals of the entire broadcast to be provided by iCable, including the soccer talk footage and advertisements. TVB and ATV made arrangements for high definition broadcast. Also, TVB plans to join the optional voice commentary channel, letting viewers choose.
Yesterday TVB confirmed that tomorrow morning during the semi-finals, they will add the optional voice commentary. TVB Foreign Affairs Director (Tsang Sing Ming) expressed that TVB is a responsible television station, they will definitely follow all the contract terms, allow the broadcast to be strictly on iCable's signals. The optional third channel is to improve the service and to the interest of viewers. Viewers are allowed to choose what to watch, it is still within the contract terms. As for iCable can interrupt the signals during the broadcast on TVB, TVB is completely passive about it. Tsang Sing Ming expressed that TVB is just trying to give more benefits to viewers and that justice is in the people's hearts.
iCable's World Cup Preparatory Manager (Tsang Jin Jeung) expressed that so far TVB has not discussed or requested adding the optional channel with iCable. Before iCable understood that some viewers may not have installed cable yet, so they decided to do the 1 dollar nominal fee broadcast contract with TVB & ATV. ATV already signed the contract, the terms required that they cannot change iCable's signals, needs to be a genuine broadcast. If there is a change, there will be an interruption in the broadcast. Mr. Tsang felt that if TVB has their own way of doing things (adding the third channel), then that is not respecting the contract terms. These are the little tricks that iCable will closely monitor. He said: "Can't watch on TVB, then there's always ATV."

News : Jay Chou
Taiwan Mando-pop star Jay Chou's personal dance instructor has revealed that the singer has a strong urge to be in control, right down to how his pals dress when they go out together, reported Chinese media.
Chou's trainer who goes by the name of "Ice Cream" told reporters during an event in China that the star "may look cool on the screen but is a 'Super Control Freak' in real life".
"He (Chou) is very self-centered and very controlling. For example, whenever we go out, he would insist that I wear clothes that matched his. If he wore blue, you'd have to wear blue. If he wore a face mask, you'd also have to wear one," he said.
Ice Cream, who has worked with Chou on numerous music videos over the years, also ruled out the possibility of Chou and old flame, Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, reuniting as they were simply "good friends that cared for each other and competitors in the music business".
Ice Cream then went on to reveal that Chou has been on the lookout for a new girlfriend but hadn't had any success so far. However, he disagreed that it was because Chou had unrealistic standards.
"Jay Chou is particular when it comes to finding a partner but it's not about outward appearance. His prospective girlfriend just has to fulfill certain conditions. One of them is that the girl must be very filial towards her parents," he said.
"Every time he gets to know someone, he keeps asking about her family, like what her parents do for living and so on, to test if she is filial. But doing this causes girls to feel uneasy. Maybe that is why he is still single."
