From “girl group” to “cute princess”, then stepping into “half mature lady”, before finally becoming a “woman waiting for love”, it has already been 10 years since Rainie Yang entered showbiz. This year is her 5th as a solo artist, and with the opportunity to have a concert in Taiwan, her career is progressing quite smoothly. However, her love life has been quite empty. Seeing her good friend Isabella Leong with a blissful married life, Rainie wishes her happiness, but at the same time isn’t jealous. “My happiness comes from performing onstage, and being loved by my fans.”

10 years ago, Rainie was a member of the four girl group 4 in Love, and after they disbanded and went their various ways, Rainie started her solo career 5 years ago. Entering her fifth year this year, Rainie will be having her first ever paid show in Taiwan. Previously, Taiwanese artists had to give free performances, but because of a large market, it was considered a promotional fee to perform. To see an actual large scale production was more difficult, and recently citizens began to learn to part with their hard-earned money in order to see an actual concert. However, the performer had to be top of the music rankings, or else it would result in more free tickets to fill in empty seats than bought tickets.

Finally entering the Taipei Arena after five years

Rainie already finds it shocking that idol Eason Chan once had 18 shows at the Coliseum, but when reporters told her that Alan Tam and Jacky Cheung each held 30 to 40 concerts 15 years ago, she was stunned speechless. “Can they really sing like this everyday? In Taiwan, there has never been a singer that can have more than five concerts at the Taipei Arena, Hong Kong citizens are really supportive of their fans!” Actually, it’s not only the Hong Kong citizens who like attending concerts; many Mainlanders have also made the trek to Hong Kong to see the shows. Clearly, the entertainment industry has helped boost Hong Kong’s economy considerably.

Rainie will be opening on April 24th at the Taipei Arena, beginning a miraculous journey with the audience members. For example, halfway through, something wonderful and unexpected is planned to happen, and there are rumours that her outfits may not be completely be made of cloth, filling everyone full of awe. “I hope that fans feel they are getting what they paid for, and leave happily. I also want to bring my concert to the Coliseum, but it won’t be able to happen in the first half of the year, because after this concert I will have to start filming an idol drama.”

Looks forward to working with Mike He, fulfilling their three year agreement

Everytime Rainie films an idol drama, one question comes to mind first: “Who is your partner this time? Is it a new pairing, or an old friend?” Everyone hopes that she will work with her classic partner Mike He, causing her to laugh, “Sorry to disappoint! This time it is a new actor.” However, she hasn’t forgotten her three year agreement with Mike; after meeting at the set of "Devil Beside You", three years later they worked together again on "Why Why Love", getting rave reviews, hence their so-called three year agreement. Nodding, Rainie answers, “I remember! But Mike has been progressing in the Mainland mostly, it’s not my fault! I look forward to his return as well! We’ll have to see if we can work together towards the end of the year, we both look forward to this opportunity.”

Doesn’t have spark with Show Luo

Her latest acting partner and thus rumoured lover is Show Luo (Xiao Zhu). “Having another partner is a good thing, early on I was scared to work with Wilber Pan, Jiro Wang and Show, but now I’m not worried to work with another male idol.” She doesn’t know why she and Show became rumoured lovers, and afterwards becaue of an understanding, they separated ways. It wasn’t until they worked on "Hi My Sweetheart" that they poured out their heart to each other, thereby restarting their friendship. After reconnecting, they became close friends again, allowing her to understand the saying “The entertainment circle doesn’t have enemies forever.” Everyone wishes to know if Rainie has any love sparks with either Show or Mike, making her laugh, “That’s hard to say! I won’t say we never will, but at the moment none of us have been ‘zapped’ by the other!”

Appears guarded talking about Isabella Leong

Rainie is open and curteous about every subject asked, except for the topic of her good friend Isabella, on which she appears slightly guarded. Asked if she bade Isabella support her concert by attending? She distractedly answered, “I think she’s busy during that time, but we did agree that if I was in Hong Kong for a concert, she will come support me. Hearing her say this makes me very happy.” Has Isabella revealed any next pregnancies? Shaking her head, “Hasn’t brought this up, I also won’t intrude on friends’ news, if she wants to tell me, she will.” Clearly, she is very protective and respectful of this good friend.

Love comes from fans

Is Rainie jealous of Isabella finding a good boyfriend, one that isn’t fought over in the entertainment circle? “We have different paths, she has always wanted a happy family life, so I’m happy for her. But my happiness comes from performing on stage, as long as I hear the applause, I will be very happy, so I’m not jealous. I’m still not ready to start a family at the moment, there’s still bigger and better targets for me to pursue, I really want to come to Hong Kong, Eastern and Southern Asia, and even the Mainland for my concerts!” It turns out that the love Rainie is waiting for, comes from her fans.

From Poison To King : Show Lo Knows Best The Bitterness of Disappointment

During Show's career tough, he had once been declined by luxury brands, but now everyone wants a piece of him.
Outfit : Provided by Gucci
Watch : Provided by Chanel

Show "Xiao Zhu[Little Pig]" Lo will soon be closing himself off in preparation for his upcoming concert. But before that, with some spare time, he was open for some brand name celebrity photo shooting. When news got out, all various brand names where fighting to get in on it. When Show heard this, lots of thoughts swelled up inside, he said, "Before, no one wanted to lend me clothing. In attending formal events, when the companies heard it was for Xiao Zhu, they all said that they weren't befitting. Who would have ever thought that I'd get a chance to turn a new leaf today?"

In the recent years of interviewing Show, I'd always get the impulse to say to him, "Just forget about the past!" Not only did the fashion photo shoot invoke his sentiments, when reminiscing about native films, he seemed to be disinterested in filming movies, which was also due to past setbacks. He said that he had been titled, "TV Rating Poison" before and that was a huge blow to him. Just thinking about entering the silver screen and not having the ticket sales expected, and thinking about how he'd be made out to be "poison" again, he'd probably go crazy.

It's true though, having never experienced falling into a deep ditch, it's hard to understand Show and his "unable to let go" mindset. And because of his past experiences of being unpopular, days of utterly degrading criticism, Show is able to use Iron Man-willpower to maintain his showbiz career, strive with his utmost diligence, demand perfection, in fear and trepidation.

Whether or not a celebrity is popular, it's like a "man drinking water, only he'd know whether it's hot or cold," with this gush of emotions, Show is planning to display it on stage at his "Wu Fa Wu Tian" concert in form of a 2-minute dance. That portion of the concert is called "Dancing with Your Life," Show will use his expertise in body language to depict his journey in showbiz, the struggle from being negated to being acknowledged.

From Poison to King, besides selling lots of albums and getting high drama ratings, Show's dressing style had also gone from being picked on and turning into a trendy guy. This time around he wore Gucci for the photo shoot, fashioning a Chanel Watch, along with the Rimowa suitcase that celebrities love most. Show said that dressing up is something happy, your conduct and behavior will change with what you're wearing for the day; a gentleman when you wear a tux, a trendy guy when in street wear. The only thing that won't change is the accessories he likes to use. Over the new year, his manager helped him by a Chanel watch from Paris. When his manager walked into the store, the staff thought she was just a little girl, and thought she was just in there to look around, but unthinkably, this little girl took out rolls of cash from her purse, making the clerk a little confused as to what had just happened.

Edison Chen still a favourite with youths

Perhaps time does heal wounds. Two years since his online sex photos frenzy, Hong Kong actor-singer Edison Chen’s popularity with college kids shows no signs of waning, or at least recovered since the 2008 scandal crashed his career to a halt.

Currently based in Los Angeles, the 29-year-old recently guested on Taiwanese variety Da Xue Sheng Le Mei, a talkshow catering to university students in the country, where the warm reception proved his seemingly unperturbed status as an idol to youths, regardless of gender.

The female undergrads in the audience switched from their usual lacklustre get-ups to mini skirts. When host Matilda Tao invited one of them to sing the classic ballad ‘Listen to the Sea’ at Edison, she blushed so much she couldn’t continue after two lines.

The male collegians, on the other hand, were in awe of the man and crowned him “fashion god”. Some revealed they own clothes from the Chinese-Canadian star’s fashion label, which prompted Edison to invite the students present to the opening of his new Taiwan store.

And he kept his word. His manager later asked for the namelist of all the undergrads who were at the recording from the show’s producer.

Sources said Edison wasn’t as uptight as his previous public appearances since the 2008 incident, believed to be due to a studio being closed to the media. His management had requested for reporters to be barred.

Nicholas Tse’s son Lucas may be a genius

As if they weren’t already the envy of many, now Hong Kong celebrity couple Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung has made us regular folks, or at least, those of whom are parents, feel like kicking ourselves again.

Their first child, Lucas, who since his birth has been referred to as a ‘prime-grade baby’ thanks to his famous, photogenic parents, is now rumoured to be a genius with an IQ above 130.

While his mother and father have had their share of bad press—they were mired in the Edison Chen online sex photos scandals in 2008 soon after tying the knot in secret—Lucas has been making the news for all the right reasons.

The paparazzi relishes the fact the two-year-old tyke isn’t camera-shy, and his inherited good looks and glamourous family background has made him a hit with advertisers. He was even speculated to have been offered HK$10 million (S$1.8 million) to front a milk powder commercial.

Believed to have been tutored since he was one and kept on a special—and costly—diet, , Lucas, now precisely two years and eight months old, is able to address all his relatives and pronounce English words.

The prodigy pattern isn’t something that runs in the family. Dad Nicholas was a school dropout while Mom Celicia did not attend high school.

Since the start of this year, their son has been attending a renowned international school where the fees amount to HK$67,000 (S$12,000) annually. Rumour has it that his full potential is showing up in spades, and he recently scored more than 130 on an IQ test.

Nicholas and Cecilia are expecting their second son in May. Only time will tell if another prodigy is arriving.

JJ Lin moved to tears at surprise birthday party at *SCAPE

Taiwan-based local singer JJ Lin was moved to tears when his fans and record company threw him a surprise birthday celebration at *SCAPE last Sunday where he performed a showcase, a day after he turned 29.

Around 1000 fans turned up for JJ Party 4, which also featured a video of his fellow colleagues at music label Ocean Butterflies singing their own version of his new song ‘Turn’ in a video. The singer, visibly moved, quipped, “I’m really lost for words now!”

His fanclub then presented him with a Darth Vader jacket from his favourite movie series Star Wars. He admitted he had been looking for this specific jacket for a long time now.

“I want to wear it now!” he gushed like a kid at Christmas.

His best bud Hong Junyang also made a surprise appearance, equalizing the earlier event where JJ had surprised his friend at his wedding in January after initially claiming he couldn’t turn up.

The two then performed songs ‘Go!’ and the Richard Marx classic ‘Now and Forever’.

With his former schoolmate Junyang all settled down with wife Candyce Toh, JJ seems to be feeling the itch as well.

“After all I’m already 29, if there’s still no one it would be rather weird,” said JJ, who added that although there’s nothing going on in the love department at the moment, he wouldn’t stay out of Cupid’s way.

As for this birthday boy’s wish, his answer hinted he might have forgiven but not forgotten the bitter episode of the past year.

He was kept in the dark when his longtime music collaborators left him last year, which he had then called “a betrayal”.

“Hope my friends treat me better!” he quipped.

Alan Tam supportive: “They [Ronald/Charlene] did not commit a crime”

Alan Tam attended a special event yesterday in the Ho Man Tin area. Asked about Charlene Choi and Ronald Cheng’s marriage being revealed, which has caused quite a stir in the industry, Alan expressed that he did pay attention to the reports about the situation. Even though Alan does not know either person well, he was still very supportive of them, emphasizing that they did not do anything “wrong” and should not be treated like sinners; furthermore, celebrities have the right to maintain their privacy – if they don’t want to make the information public, there must be good reasons for it. Asked whether celebrities should avoid lying in order to maintain their privacy, Alan responded: “They don’t want to say it [private matters], however when they are being forced to reveal the matters, the only thing they could do was lie about it – they did not commit any crime….they’re young kids – give them some space so they can think about how to handle the situation. I feel that they still care about each other very much – don’t make it sound like both the guy and the girl ‘have problems’ – it’s their own personal relationship and feelings, after all.”

Alan also pointed out that earlier this month, while attending Big Four’s concert, he had bumped into Ronald Cheng’s father backstage. At that time, he had asked him about Ronald and he replied “good, good” but there was no mention of his son’s marriage; therefore, he does not know any ‘inside information’. Plus the entertainment industry always has interesting things going on, so he [Alan] is not ‘curious’ about this particular situation [Ronald and Charlene’s marriage]. He says: “During this difficult time, we should not be ‘throwing salt on the wound’ by saying hurtful things. If people want to ‘play’, then they should wait until the situation is over – it might be more ‘fun’ for them.”
