Although they couldn't be husband and wive, Ronald Cheng and Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) are still friends. Lately there's a report from Mainland saying a director planned to make martial arts novel '萍擪俠影錄' into a TV series. He wanted to invite couples or husband and wife in the showbiz to act. It was reported the team once invited Ronald and Ah Sa, who didn't file for divorce yet. But they didn't want to be in the same series together and scared off the team with a demand of 8 million pay.

Ah Sa attended to izzue fashion show yesterday and she expressed she never heard anyone inviting her and Ronald to film as a couple, so she felt the report is quite humorous. Company didn't notify her? She said: "Shouldn't be. If if there is an offer, still have to look at the scripts first. But I'll go Beijing to film '翡翠明珠.' Soon I'll film '財神客棧' with Nicolas Tse and Barbie Hsu. Jobs are arranged till November." If scripts are suitable, paid is high, will she work with her ex-husband again? Ah Sa said: "Might try it if I'm free. I don't oppose. How much pay will make me say yes? I only like to film, company will decide the amount of money."

Just returned being single again, Ah Sa doesn't want to start dating right now. If Ronald starts to pursue her again, will she say yes and reunite? She only said: "Depends on fate, we'll see if it's suitable." Talked about earlier she was on the same stage with Ronald for Qinghai relief, did she pay attention to his performance? Ah Sa said: "I watched B gor gor and his daughter. I really didn't see Ronald Cheng!"

Ronald attended to a Nokia event and also expressed besides a company said they hope he and Ah Sa will film 'Happy Home 2010' (花田囍事2010) together (Ah Sa had no free spot so she couldn't make it), no other companies have ever approach to them like the report claimed. Ronald stressed he doesn't mind working with Ah Sa. Depending on the story of the script, it wouldn't be a problem even if they have to play a married couple. Reporters said his response is just like Ah Sa's, Ronald said: "This is the fact! We're friends. It's still good if we have chances to work together."

Elaine Yiu and Sire Ma never worked together, but they're both good friends with Suki Tsui and are Suki's bridesmaids last year. Elaine said she really wants to get married. She said: "Many friends are married or planning to get married. I also hope my Mr. Right will appear soon. Too bad it's hard to find a boyfriend as an artiste. Good men in the showbiz are already married."

Sire said she hasn't meet the right person and would focus on her career right now, and imagine dating actors she work with in series like Ron Ng and Raymond Lam, etc. She said: "Suki is a girl who is daring to love, but I have to think carefully before doing everything, guess I will plan to get married at least after I'm 30." Summer is comming and many female artistes will show off their good bodies in swim wear shows to earn money. Elaine said she doesn't mind and she wants to walk lingerie shows the most. She explained: "I want to walk lingerie shows more than swimwear ones, I think lingerie can show off one's body curves more, also you can be like Jessica C, your bust size will gain a cup, but first I have to try hard to gain weight, it would look better if I'm chubbier."

Always have a lean body, Sire also gained weight successfully and she's ecstatic: "Because I worked with Bobby Au-Yeung in '(不速之約),' we've been eating a lot everyday these two months. We even ate the food (props) on the set!" Sire said now she gained weight, Bobby said they look like siblings. She said: "I play Bobby's younger sister in the series. He always say, Ah Mui, you got chubbier lately. You're going to film ancient series soon, I'm worry the fat would appear on your face, it's time to start to control the amount you're eating.

Another "Stephen Chan Gang" (Chi Wan Bong) member is fired. Producer Poon Yu Kai was fired earlier with the reason of "no other jobs," yesterday TVB fired producer of "On The Road" (向世界出發)Tang Yun Mei. TVB publicist Tseng Sing Ming said the decision was made to reorganize non-drama department and fit the needs of future production; he won't rule out the chance of working together again. But he stressed this has nothing to do with Stephen Chan. Tang confirmed the incident yesterday: "TVB gave me two choices, one: I would leave on my own, the other one: fire me. I told them to fire me, because I didn't do anything wrong! (Got fired because you're part of the 'gang'?) I don't even know whether I'm part of the gang or not, I just feel that even a colleague with good ratings, many awards, and good reviews is being fired, don't know what is their standard. TVB has a greater loss than I do."

It has been reported that Epik High’s leader Tablo (real name: Lee Sun Woong) is pressing charges against a specific netizen “for defaming him by spreading false rumors.”

Seoul Mapo Police Station stated on the 28th, “Mr. Lee filed in his letter of complaint for requesting to press legal charges on a netizen who spread false rumors online. The rumors were suggesting that my academic backgrounds were all false.” To protect the reporter’s identity, the policeman only revealed that Mr. Lee was a celebrity of Canadian nationality who has reportedly graduated Stanford University.

According to the police, a netizen has repeatedly posted his claims online that he’s proved that Tablo was lying about his seemingly-flawless educational background all along. Netizens and fans alike were shocked to hear the story, as they were more than aware of Tablo’s Stanford history.

Apparently, that netizen couldn’t find the name Daniel Armand Lee under the list of Stanford graduates. He also predicted Tablo’s family will be ostracized from society, whereas his company will go bankrupt because of his unforgivable lie.

Great news for fans that have been waiting for the release of Summer’s Desire. The drama starring Peter Ho, Barbie Xu and Huang Xiao-Ming was previously rumored to be turning away buyers because of the cast’s age. Fortunately, it was finally picked up by FTV and is expected to hit the air at the end of May. Huang Xiao-Ming has already requested time off from his current movie to promote the series in Taiwan next month. The three A-listers’ stylists, plane tickets and living arrangements for the 4-day promotion are said to cost more than 2 million (NTD).

Summer’s Desire was adapted from author Ming Xiao-Xi’s best-seller by the same name. The story depicts the relationship of two men and a woman, and has been described as the idol version of the “Flower” series (popular Taiwanese soap opera from the 90s.) The HD production alongside with its love-hate melodrama is expected to attract audiences outside of the idol drama core. FTV hopes it will continue their Sunday drama programming as they have been airing Kimura Takuya’s classic series in the time slot.

FTV briefly entered the Sunday night idol drama battle in 2007 with Pretty Ugly and Full Count. The dramas' ratings failed to meet the network’s expectation, therefore the time slot was given to variety programming instead. Much to the surprise of FTV, their Friday night idol drama K.O.3anguo broke 2% in the ratings and inspired them to join the idol drama battle again. Summer’s Desire will compete with the current top-rated Sunday night series P.S. Man at the end of May.
