According to Taiwan's ETTV online news report, at 2:30pm on the 13th, an EVA Air plane travelling from Beijing directly to Taoyuan Airport was rumoured to have suspected explosives causing security staff to be considerably nervous. Artists S.H.E, Leehom Wang, Mayday, Zhang Yu Yan (???) and others were also on the plane. Security immediately asked the plane's 230 passengers and also one infant to get off the plane for inspection. Luckily in the end it was confirmed to be a false alarm.

As soon as they saw that the problematic plane flew down to the ground, security staff were all very nervous. They sent a car of explosion prevention people to be alert beside the plane and even the explosion prevention workers were not allowed to be unoccupied in the departure lounge area because it had been rumoured that this EVA Air plane from Beijing might have explosives

Away from the 'buying charts' storm, the night before last Leehom performed at the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel. Despite being a little sick, he still made his appearance and performed. He expressed to over 10,000 fans, "Even though I have a cold, I promise everyone that I will sing until I lose my voice." Using his strength as Music-Man to maintain his standards, fans warmly applauded him in return.

For his new album which has taken one-and-a-half years, Leehom has been busy travelling everywhere, risking temperatures of below 10°C to film his MV properly: getting drenched in the rain, jumping into lakes and all kinds of things. The new song "Everything" describes the story of good friends becoming lovers. In order to portray the melancholy love story, Leehom and the female lead acted out the tragedy of their boat capsizing, causing them to be separated forever. A large group of people went to Yilan to watch this and Leehom almost jumped into Plum Blossom Lake three times, only so that the scene turned out perfect.

Leehom Wang has been mesmerized by Takako Uehara’s charming eyes, and smashed a massive $1,500,000NT to invite her to star in the MV of his new song ‘Heart Jump’. On the 6th, while everyone else was dressing up for the Golden Horse Awards, Leehom was busy developing feelings with Takako, and had no time to see his rumoured girlfriend Shu Qi at the awards. The funny thing is that ‘Heart Jump’ tells of his real sad love story, so is the female lead A-mei or Shu Qi? He took the easy way out and replied saying that it just tells of his personal feelings.

The first time meeting Takako, Leehom, who is the director for this MV, first arranged some easy scenes to get to know each other better. The main scenes will be filmed today in the presidential suite in the Sheraton Hotel.

Popular Japanese singer and former member of ‘Speed’ – Takako Uehara yesterday night quietly arrived in Taiwan. As a matter of fact, she had received Leehom Wang’s invitation to star in the MV for his new song ‘Heart. Jump’. Apparantly, this song tells of Leehom’s real love story, and hence he insists on directing and acting in the MV. So did he pick Takako himself? His management company rushed to clarify for him: “Female lead is picked by the company, and he agrees.”

Takako Uehara has a fresh photo album, angel face and devil figure, unfortunately when she arrived at the airport, she looked like she was wrapped in a meat zong*

However, Leehom who has been rumoured with Shu Qi for 3 years, recently rumoured their break-up, and coincidentally at this time, he invites a hot girl from Japan, does he want to anger his old love? Or does he have a soft spot for female artists with photo albums?

Lee Hom expressed that he was busy with his album for the entire year, and now it's finally finished. The reason why it took so long was that he requires it to be very good, added to some company requirements. However, after so long, he is very satisfied with his new album, and it will be released in December.

Taiwanese-American singer-songwriter Wang Lee Hom on Saturday night powered up the Singapore Indoor Stadium as his alter-ego, the Music-Man.

Explaining that he loved comic book superheroes as a kid and have always wanted to be a cartoon hero himself, the theme allowed Lee Hom to indulge in a childhood fantasy while doing what he does best – music and wielding all sorts of instruments.

And the theme was woven into parts of the concert, with flashy giant comic-book illustrations of himself lighting up the screens and futuristic looking sets.

The concert kicked off on a high note with the superhero being lowered from the heavens on a flying disc, dressed in his superhero "uniform" of sleek white with black leather while blasting a track on his guitar from his upcoming album, "What's Wrong with Rock and Roll".

This was followed by fast crowd favourites W-H-Y, Flower Field Mistake and Heirs of Dragons - all slightly altered from their original versions with a splendid rock tinge.

Wang LeeHom has become one of the most popular and sought-after celebrities of the "advertising" world: in this year alone, he has accepted ten endorsement offers. His endorsements include fast food, beverages, cell phones, shampoos, motorcycles, etc.-- now, he has accepted a contract promoting essence of chicken (雞精) worth tens of millions of dollars. The extremely busy LeeHom said, "I do typically rely on drinking essence of chicken to replenish my energy." Thus, the commercial depicts something close to LeeHom's own personal life: writing music, practicing dance, exercising, holding a concert-- that day, LeeHom filmed for 15 hours straight, drinking essence of chicken along the way. He didn't seem to be tired or overworked at all.
