Upcoming drama "Flying Tigers"

Actors from upcoming drama "Flying Tigers" (tentative name) were filming a shower scene yesterday, including Him Law, Vincent Wong, Mr. Hong Kong William Chak, Benjamin Yuen, and Oscar Li. These guys did lots of push-ups before filming to "push" their chest out. But muscle man Him Law was actually a little embarrassed to film shower scenes in front of everyone.

"I never showered in front of this many cameras and people. Every parts must be connected, so I filmed this scene five times," he said.

Known for his 40-inches chest, Him praised other guys for being more muscular. Indeed, Oscar Li, who is more known for playing the Japanese solider in "No Regrets", has a 42-inches chest, beating all males on the set.

Vincent Wong, whose image is usually intellectual and stylish, lost 5lbs for his role and is eating lots of protein to build muscle. He even relates his diet to his dog.

"Now I'm only eating chicken and egg white, eating along with my dog!"

"All’s Well, Ends Well 2011" <最强囍事>

The premiere of Lunar New Year comedy, "All’s Well, Ends Well 2011" <最强囍事> held its premiere in Beijing yesterday. The film is a Raymond Wong Pak Ming production and stars Donnie Yen Chi Dan, Louis Koo Tin Lok, and Carina Lau Ka Ling. All’s Well, Ends Well 2011 will also be Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi’s first comeback film in five years.

To match with the upcoming festivities of the Lunar New Year holiday, Donnie Yen wore a red trench coat at the All’s Well, End’s Well 2011 premiere. Since his role in the film was a departure from his normal action roles, Donnie said the filming experience for All’s Well, End’s Well 2011 was very relaxing. Donnie loved to deliver a good joke and he hoped that the audience will discover a new side of him in the film.

Working with Donnie Yen for the first time, Carina Lau was full of praise. “Donnie has a lot of stamina and he is very professional. I learned a lot from him. Perhaps due to the impression his previous roles delivered, many people thought he led an uninteresting lifestyle. After working with him, I found this was not true. ” Carina noted that she will be celebrating the Lunar New Year Holiday with husband, Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Showcasing their loving marriage, Carina said that they have already made their holiday plans and will be exchanging gifts.

Since Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi was filming in Inner Mongolia for Lady Warriors of Yang Family <杨门女将之军令如山>, she was unable to attend the premiere of All’s Well, Ends Well 2011, disappointing many fans. Furthermore, Cecilia injured her face in an earlier battle scene in Lady Warriors of Yang Family. Louis Koo hoped that Cecilia was on her road to a speedy recovery.

New TVB series, Flying Tigers <飛虎>

Jessica Hsuan, Joe Ma Tak Chung, and Him Law appeared at the prayer ceremony for new TVB series, Flying Tigers <飛虎>. Sporting a new short hairstyle for her role as a police officer, Jessica said that it has been a long time since she cut hair in such a short fashion. Her mother and boyfriend praised Jessica’s new hairstyle. “My mother said that this hairstyle makes me look more alert! My boyfriend preferred longer hair in the past. After I cut my hair, he said it was outright cute and suited my personality. I can even wash my hair more frequently now!”

Since Joe spent the majority of 2010 filming in China , he did not have an opportunity to tone his body for his role in Flying Tigers. “I was hospitalized earlier so I could not exercise more. My tonsil inflammation turned into inflammation of the heart muscle. My doctor said that I can not work out too strenuously.”

Joe smiled and said that he will let Him Law and other male co-stars be the muscle men in the series. Was Joe concerned that his performance will be compared Michael Wong Man Tak? “No, Michael Wong’s image is deeply ingrained in the audience’s mind. I have the advantage of my G4 experience and we’re body different.”

TVB series "The Rippling Blossom <魚躍在花見>"

Chilam Cheung, Myolie Wu Hang Yee, and Michael Tse Tin Wah attended a promotional event for TVB series, The Rippling Blossom <魚躍在花見>, which will be broadcast in Hong Kong on February 7th. Since Tavia Yeung Yi was filming in China , she did not appear at the event yesterday. Myolie especially took leave from filming in Hengdian to return to Hong Kong for the event. Myolie also took the opportunity to apply for her travel visa for an upcoming concert performance in the United States and Canada .

Myolie’s good friend, Eileen Yeow Ying Ying, recently announced that she was three months pregnant. Eileen also wished that Myolie become a mother soon as well. In response, Myolie said, “I am happy for Eileen. But I am so young, it will be a long time before I become a mother!” Eileen indicated that she did not mind whether the baby was a boy or girl. After giving birth, Eileen intends to breastfeed her child.

Busily preparing for his upcoming concert, Chilam said that the concert sales tickets were trending positively. His record company considered increasing the number of performances. Will Chilam’s good friend, Aaron Kwok Fu Sing, be one of the guest performers? Chilam said, “There will definitely be guest performers, but the details are not finalized yet.”

New drama "The Rippling Blossom" coming soon

Although her new drama "The Rippling Blossom" is airing soon, but Tavia Yeung is filming in Mainland China now. The drama is airing during Chinese New Year, but she is not worried: "Ratings might be affected, but I'm not too worried. As long as it gets to release!"

After "The Mysteries of Love," Tavia already filmed four dramas, so she can go to Mainland now and earn more money: "This time I'm filming an ancient drama with Patrick Tam. I'm playing a villain, an evil female lead. This is my first time filming a Mainland drama. Renminbi [China's currency] here I come!"

Tavia once played a villain in "Beyond the Realm of Conscience," and this time she is playing a similar role. She said: "I want to see whether I can be eviler. Already that evil last time in Hong Kong, maybe there won't be another chance like this, haha! I want to be China's evilest!" She worried viewers would see her as a villain from now on, but after she saw Ron Ng plays a villain earlier in a Mainland drama, she understands Mainland viewers are quite reasonable on this.

First time invading the Mainland market, Tavia knows this is an important opportunity for her; she does not want to play plain roles anymore. However, she will not leave her 'home' TVB: "I'm very loyal to my company. I signed TVB forever!"

In certain situations, you may even be able to convert your term life insurance to a permanent life insurance policy. 20 year term life insurance.

So term life insurance can offer security, simplicity, flexibility…what more do you want? How about affordability? Outstanding affordability.

In addition to popular Kamen Riders OOO and Den-O, the movie will feature Kamen Rider 1 as one of the main characters. The story will involve traveling through space and time to Kamen Rider 1's world, and it appears that all of the past Kamen Riders will be making an appearance.

Although Kamen Rider 1 appeared in the 2005 remake "Kamen Rider THE FIRST," this will be the character's first time in an original work since "Kamen Rider Vs. Hell Ambassador" in 1972. The title itself is a reference to the theme song "Let's Go!! Rider Kick" used in the original 1971 television series.

"Kouhaku Uta Gassen" release on December 31

Last month, it was rumored that Southern All Stars member Keisuke Kuwata (54) would be making a special guest appearance on the upcoming Kouhaku Uta Gassen. On Monday, his management agency and record label officially confirmed the news.

Although he will not be part of a team, this will count as his first solo performance at Kouhaku. The last time he was on the show was in 1983, when Southern All Stars made their third appearance.

Currently, it is still not known which songs he will perform or when in the program he will appear. It also has not been decided whether he will be at the event itself or will perform through a live video feed.

Kuwata has not performed in public since July, as he underwent treatment for esophageal cancer. He resumed work in October and recently finished his new album.

The Kouhaku Uta Gassen will begin at 7:30pm on December 31.

“SHINee” first concert in Japan

Today South Korean boy band “SHINee” held their first concert in Japan at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo and have announced that they are going to make their official Japanese debut under “EMI Music Japan” in March 2011.

In 2008 they were awarded Rookie of the Year in South Korea. Since then their popularity has kept on growing and now they are going to follow their fellow idol groups to Japan to expand their fandom even further.

Even before their debut they are already a big number in Japan. Within one month more than 100,000 people applied for a ticket for their performance today. In the end, 24,000 lucky people were able to see the five members of SHINee today. They performed two shows, which adds up to about 5 hours and 60 songs. There is no doubt that this must have pleased their Japanese fans.

Member Jonghyun still wasn’t able to fully perform with the others due to an injury on his left foot. “I’m sad that I can’t perform as much as I want, but at least I’m able to stay on stage with the others,” he said in tears.
