			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;bride&#8221; is Charmaine Sheh! On 18th, TVB leading actress Charmaine Sheh appeared at Guangzhou for promotional event by A-Fontane, representing the wedding beddings collection. Charmaine, who is currently enjoying her holiday break looks glowing. When asked when is her turn to get married, she expressed that she is busy organizing her younger brother&#8217;s wedding and she is still waiting for her other half to appear before thinking further. Regarding her rumored boyfriend of many years; Benny Chan&#8217;s remark on a chat show that he has an unforgettable and memorable love relationship, Charmaine simply replied: &#8220;If it (love) belongs in the past, then it should remain the past.&#8221;</p>
<p>Benny Chan not her unforgettable love</p>
<p>Earlier, Benny accepted an interview with i-Cable&#8217;s Entertainment News Channel and revealed in the interview: &#8220;I&#8217;ve once have a love relationship, which I thought will led to marriage but it still ended. When you don&#8217;t cherish it, you will never learn to regret&#8230; but I am still waiting.&#8221; Though Benny did not point out the lady he is referring to, but when the host hinted her as Charmaine, he did not completely deny it either. The reporters asked Charmaine whether she is touched by such sincere speech from an ex-lover hoping for reconciliation, she then replied: &#8220;Everything I do, I will consider them thoroughly before making decision. Once I&#8217;ve made my decision, nothing can change them. If it belongs in the past, then it should remain the past.&#8221; She expressed that in the journey of love she never looks back, only towards the future.</p>
<p>Asked if she had any memorable and unforgettable love, Charmaine did not mention Benny Chan, but instead her first love. &#8220;Because I was still young back then, only 18 years old. I am very happy that we are still friends. He is now very happy with a son and a daughter. I feel happy for him too.&#8221;</p>
<p>Getting married too many times in series, doesn&#8217;t look forward to lavish wedding</p>
<p>Charmaine&#8217;s younger brother is going to get married soon. Regarding her younger brother &#8216;getting ahead&#8217;, leaving her as the only single in her family, Charmaine joked: &#8220;I am now preparing everything for him, consider it as my wedding rehearsal! I don&#8217;t have marriage plans at the moment, wait until my other half appear.&#8221; What type of wedding she looks forward to? &#8220;Actually, I&#8217;ve thought of using the traditional bride sedan in the past because it reflects the Chinese traditions. However it is very difficult to fulfill in Hong Kong. I&#8217;ve filmed many TV series and advertisements in different wedding dresses and settings therefore I would prefer a simple wedding ceremony.&#8221;</p>
<p>Charmaine revealed that her 30 episodes series [Turbulence] with Liza Wang, Joe Ma and Raymond Wong will be aired as TVB anniversary series during September/October. In the series, she portrayed a sampan porridge seller. Hopefully the series could support her in getting nominated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rumoured couple Bernice Liu and Moses Chan were earlier reported breaking up. Yesterday Bernice attended an event and an child was arranged to dress up as the &#8220;Cute version of Moses Chan&#8221;. They held hands as they went on stage. Bernice claimed that she didn’t know anything about the arrangements beforehand. When she knew about it she was very shocked but did not mind because she was used to the rumors already. Most important is that everyone is happy.</p>
<p>Bernice complimented &#8220;Cute version Moses Chan&#8221; having a pair of attractive eyes. Not only did they play games together but he also gave her flowers and a kiss. This made Bernice extremely happy and she returned a kiss. Bernice was also a judge for the “Baby Olympics contest”. She awarded the winning baby girl with a prize. The baby girl started to grab hold of her necklace while Bernice was carrying her. This caused plenty of laughters.</p>
<p>Bernice said that she has always been fond of children and hopes to give birth to 7 in the future. It doesn’t matter if they are boys or girls as long as they can create a band or form a soccer team. She said &#8220;Originally I wanted to have a baby at the age of 24, now I am 29 and still haven’t given birth. I have to have kids before I reach the age of 41. (Asked if she wants to get married soon?) “I haven’t met someone suitable for marriage yet and it’s not down to how I want things to be.&#8221;</p>
<p>Olympic events cannot be controlled</p>
<p>The series &#8220;When a Dog loves a Cat&#8221; broadcasted the finale a day ago but because it had to adapt to the Olympic event over running it was shown later in the evening. She stated that because of the Olympic events, its very hard to control what time drama’s will be shown on television. The reporter mentioned that Myolie Wu appeared slowly floating into the camera in the last scene like a ghost that made many people suddenly uncomfortable. Bernice immediately started laughing and smiled saying she didn’t know what the reporter was talking about. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The musically talented Wang LeeHom has been busy recently with preparations for the kickoff of his World Tour on September 19th and 20th at the Taipei Arena; he also had to squeeze some time out of his busy schedule in order to film MV&#8217;s for his new album. Although burning the candle from both ends, LeeHom spares no effort and works to his utmost capability on each and every task. He went to NeiHu the other day to film an MV; the female lead is the &#8220;sunshine&#8221; and talented Janet, known affectionately as the &#8220;Crazy Traveler.&#8221; Clad in a short qipao (cheongsam), she lay on her side, holding a pipa* in her arms. The visual of her, lying with her bare legs stretched out, was quite provocative. Perhaps he thought that &#8220;tasting&#8221; the &#8220;eye candy&#8221; for too long would make things too hot for him to handle&#8211; at any rate, LeeHom hurriedly left the set for some fresh air with a foreign friend. While outside, he rode his bicycle for a quick work-out: two circles to the left, then two circles to the right; he rode vigorously, thus &#8220;cooling&#8221; down and &#8220;extinguishing&#8221; the fire.<br />
* Translator&#8217;s Comment: A pipa is a traditional Chinese stringed instrument. It is plucked. </p>
<p>At noon of the 16th, LeeHom wore a hand-dyed white tank and tight, form-fitting pants. Carrying an electric guitar on his back, his &#8220;rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll&#8221; flavor was through the roof. On stage, Janet held her pipa as LeeHom enthusiastically taught her what postures and angles to use for the camera. She was close to &#8220;exposure&#8221; at one point; LeeHom did not neglect to warn her about it and reminded her gently to fix her sitting posture. He was even more professional than the MV director!</p>
<p>The Pipa and the Electric Guitar: Fusion of East and West</p>
<p>The content of the MV is a huge secret; the staff and workers at the shoot were constantly searching the different stories and floors of the building, afraid that the storyline of the new MV would be revealed or exposed. This reporter saw with his own eyes: Wang LeeHom stood on stage, playing the electric guitar, lost in his own world. Janet herself is a talented violinist; she lightly tossed her long hair and, holding her pipa closely, plucked earnestly at the strings. The two played a duet on stage; it looks like the fusion of Eastern and Western stringed instruments as a musical style on the new album has inadvertently been exposed!</p>
<p>&#8220;Secret Weapon&#8221; Is Exposed: Eastern Style and Flavor Heavy</p>
<p>LeeHom and Janet are both darlings of the advertisement and commercial world; both have also acted as spokesmodels for tea drinks. This time, the two musically talented young people are collaborating together on an MV. LeeHom&#8217;s record company, Sony BMG, was quite surprised about the accidental exposure of the MV&#8217;s filming schedule. They had not expected that their &#8220;secret weapon,&#8221; female lead Janet, would be exposed. The company explained that, because the style of the new song is Eastern, the female lead wore a qipao (cheongsam). Thus, the flavor that develops is one of Eastern-Western fusion.</p>
<p>As for the bicycle, LeeHom did not ride it to &#8220;cool down&#8221;; instead, he was preparing for his upcoming concert: he hoped to work on his lung capacity. Thus, during the breaks in the filming of the MV, he went outside to ride his bicycle. Was LeeHom &#8220;moved&#8221; by Janet? His company replied simply, &#8220;It was the first time the two have worked together; they got along very well.&#8221; </p>
