Drama “Jang Ok-jung”

Although nothing’s been signed, a representative from YG Entertainment said yesterday that Big Bang’s T.O.P may be in next year’s period drama “Jang Ok-jung.” “I can’t tell you too much, but if he takes the offer, he will be playing a lead to rival that of Kim’s,” said the source, who added that T.O.P is being careful with his decision as he is currently involved with a movie as well as touring with his band. If the boy band member takes the role, it will be his first period piece, although he’s taken on a variety of other TV characters. Currently he is filming “The Alumni,” in which he plays a teenaged assassin from North Korea named Myung-hoon who has been assigned to kill someone in order to save his sister. Big Bang recently wrapped up its Americas tour, having performed in the United States and Peru. The finale was in Lima last Wednesday where more than 10,000 people turned up to catch a glimpse of the Hallyu boy band.

Raymond and Priscilla has a relationship in the series and will have a bed scene too. Raymond expressed: "It's quite special." Priscilla expressed this is her second TVB series and she still hasn't given away her first on-screen kiss. When asked who she wants to kiss? She laughed: "I want to kiss 90% of the people in TVB." Raymond boasted expressing he has kissed 90% of the FaDans including Linda Chung, Kate Tsui, Sonija Kwok and Myolie Wu. He laughed: "There are many of the younger FaDans I haven't collaborated with. If its necessary for the story, I don't mind." Priscilla expressed she does not dare to kiss the actors who have families, but Raymond immediately told her to erase that thought, he said: "Why am I an actor? It is because I can jump out of the house."

Raymond Lam concert A TIME 4 YOU

Raymond Lam is holding his concert A TIME 4 YOU on January 26th and 27th. This will be his fourth consecutive year in HK Coliseum. Yesterday the press conference for the concert was held with TVB and EEG executives there to support him. Raymond's concert theme is time, although Raymond wanted to leave the audience with surprises, he revealed after he completes this concert, he will be taking a 1-2 year break from the stage. "Actually I already said I was going to take a break for two years already. also next year, I have several films I have to shoot and really can't make the time on my schedule." When asked if he's already got Virgina Lok's approval? Raymond laughed: "I just told Miss Lok backstage, she just laughed out loud 'haha' in response." Aside from the schedule conflicts, Raymond added: "I will continue to be in the music scene and release albums, but I hope I'll be give more time to save up songs. Also, I want to take this opportunity to breathe and absorb some new knowledge." Raymond hopes after he takes his break and if he does get more opportunities to hold concerts in the future, he will definitely bring new elements to his music fans. When speaking of Wayne Lai being one of the hot favorites for TV King this year, it was rumored TVB plans to give both the "Asia-Pacific Most Popular Male Singer" and "Most Popular Male Singer" awards to Raymond as a way to comfort him on losing the TV King award. Raymond said he has not heard of this rumor, but he has heard the singer awards will be based on public vote. Earlier Eliza Sam collaborated with Raymond on his mini film Love Charming One Minute was shown at the press conference. The director and Eliza personally attended the event to support him. Raymond said Eliza plays a female ghost in the mini film, but because she's not considered the terrifying type, her cheerful personality really fits the role. As for Eliza, she expressed she is fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Raymond.

TVB Anniversary Awards 2012

TVB announced the official nomination list for TVB Anniversary Awards 2012 today. Aimee Chan was nominated for both best actress and supporting actress, but Ben Wong, who seems to have a high chance of winning Best Supporting Actor again this year, was not on the nominations at all! Ben Wong played the "Devil Cop" in Highs and Lows and his evilness was inhumane. On the discussion forums, Netizens predicted that this year's Best Supporting Actor would be a competition between Koo Ming Wa, Power Chan and Ben. However, it turns out Elliot Ngok, Ram Chiang and Jazz Lam were part of the nominations, but Ben wasn't. This means Ben has no opportunity to participate in this year's first public voting system. Yesterday reporters contacted Ben in regards to this issue. He went from being shocked to upset, he said: "I'm really astonished, of course I'm disappointed! I don't know what the norm is, but this year the public voting is about fairness and public opinion, but now I'm not even nominated. Where's the justice?! If Poon Hok Lai (his role from Highs and Lows) don't qualify for the finals, then where is the justice?" Ben asked reporters if its because he's been promoted to lead actor that he's getting 'blocked'? He blamed: "If I'm not nominated for Best Supporting, then am I a lead actor? A producer once told me, I got the award last year, so I shouldn't compete this year! I just think if someone could get TV King twice, then how come the Supporting Actor can't?" Ben got more and more angered as he spoke: "Now my chances are gone just like that, I don't even have the opportunity to be in the competition. They didn't even give me a chance. If my Poon Hok Lai role can't make it on the top 10, then I really don't believe there is justice?" Kate Tsui was just as shocked when she heard Ben didn't make it on the nominations, she said: "Huh?" Then added: "Whatever it is, we will fight for the Best Series award together! (Comfort Ben?) He's an adult, not necessary, he's a senior of mines! He understands!" Highs and Lows producer Lam Chi Wah expressed his disappointment that Ben wasn't nominated. He said: "I'm so shocked and disappointed. TVB's mechanism, I'm not too sure of, but actually we can't tell if Ben's role was one of the supporting roles or a leading role. I think he was in a leading role. We have all seen his hard work. The award is important, but the most important is what opportunities TVB will give him from here on!"

Esther Kwan pregnant again

Former Hong Kong TVB actress, Esther Kwan and husband, actor Nick Cheung tied the knot in 2003 and have a six-year-old daughter, Brittany. Esther retired from the Hong Kong showbiz industry in 2008 to spend more time with her family. Nick and Esther have expressed their love for kids and intend to try for a second child. Esther reportedly underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment previously but there has been no good news yet. Esther, who was clad in a baggy long dress with flats, was seen shopping alone in Hong Kong recently. The 48-year-old has always maintained a svelte figure, so rumours of pregnancy began to arise after she was spotted with a fuller figure and a slightly more prominent abdomen. On the other hand, Nick did not accompany his family that night and attended a dinner gathering with friends. He stood outside the restaurant and interacted with the staff for quite some time before driving off for home.
