The Fashion at TVB Anniversary Gala

Each year during the big day of TVB Anniversary, the female artistes dress up for a battle of fashion. They would also take the advantage to show off their jewelries, although the majority of the jewelries were sponsored, but as long as the moment is still glorious, the popularity is still there.

Last night among the female artistes, Lee See Kei had the most on, she had on a ruby that was worth $40,000,000, that went along with her simple evening dress. She appeared to be very noble. Besides her, there was Liza Wang who also had accessories that was worth more than $20,000,000 including jewelries and a watch. The most special was her diamond ring, which was worth $8,500,000. As for hostess Carol Cheng her whole body was worth $18,000,000, she said: "this night Liza and I match well, we are like two big red envelopes.

TV Stations Feel Economic Crunch

The global recession has reached TV stations in Korea. Advertisement revenues have fallen drastically for three major networks in Korea, compelling them to cut back on program productions and staff.

The first round of downsizing was carried out on the drama department. Once a cash cow, TV dramas have now turned into a money pit, prompting TV stations to cut down on the number of dramas from the program lineup. KBS will no longer run a daily TV series after “The Return of Ddukbaegi” wraps up this fall. SBS will suspend its Friday night drama for a while and MBC one of its weekend dramas.

TV stars will get paid less as well. During their heyday, a TV star would get about 170 thousand dollars for a program and a top show host would net about 9 thousand dollars per episode. But such exorbitant fee has weighed heavily on the network budget and three major networks have banded together to lower the TV appearance rates.

The presidents of three networks have sent company-wide letters asking employees to understand the current predicament and support company decisions.

Wong Hei has a fear of heights

Wong Hei was filming the TVB up coming series "Burning Flame III" the other night. There was a scene where he had to be at the edge of a 15th floor roof top. It was a very dangerous scene and it took 5 hours to shoot. Wong Hei suffers acrophobia (fear of heights). When he came down after they finished filming, he was sweating and his legs were shaking. Good job he had a visitor at that time. Kawaii (rumored girlfriend) turned up and gave him some sedatives (herself). He was feeling much better after seeing her and was able to smile again.

The roof top scene isn't finished yet due to the safety issues so they still have to finish filming so good luck to Wong Hei!
