Evan Yo left for military service

It has been reported previously that Evan Yo will be heading to the military this year after graduating from university. The time seemed to have come much sooner than expected as he previously planned to enter in late January. However, he quietly joined the military on January 5th after receiving his notification. Evan Yo record company has hoped to organize a farewell party and invite his mentor Jacky Wu. Unfortunately the local king had a very busy schedule so the plans had to be scrapped.

Evan Yo's last album Loneliness was released back in October of last year, and a repackaged version has just been released on the 8th. His record company originally planned a concert on the 15th to promote the re-release and let him bid farewell to the fans. Due to the sudden change of plans, they will cancel the concert and refund tickets. On a brighter note, Evan Yo has already completed some military training credits, so he will only be in the military for 11 months.

"King of Comedy 2" looking for new casts!

Stephen Chow's "King Od Comedy II" held its open recruitment for actors and actresses in Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday. It attracted over 200 applicants. The interview process started at 2pm, but as early as 10am, people were already lining up the street.

Some men disguised as females and others dressed up as past famous actors and actresses such as Bruce Lee and Cecilia Cheung. One guy even put on uncle MacDonald costumes. One family (three generations) came to the event specially from Macau. 54 year old Ms Law came with her 20 year old son and her 4 year old granddaughter. Ms Law dressed up as "Goddess of Mercy". She intended to preach the teaching of Buddha as well as supporting her son Lee Ka Ho who loves acting. Lee works in the casino and he was going to dress up as a girl for the interview. He said he has the advantage because he works in a casino. He is an expert to make people laugh and he is also beautiful when he put his make up on.

29 year old Andy dressed up as Bruce Lee, he was demonstrating "kung fu" to show off. He told reporter "Bruce and I have one thing in common. He was born in the 40s and I was born in the 80s. We both have a "0" in common. My name has a "wood" (木) in it and Bruce's surname also has a "wood" in it.

Liz Ma who had appeared in "Beautiful Cooking" before couldn't make up her mind. One minute she wanted to dress up as Cecilia Cheung, but then she changed her mind, wanting to be Chibi Maruko Chan's Cherry. At the end, she freaked out. She later told the reporter that she felt there were very strong contestants out there that she didn't have to the courage to go ahead and had to pull out.

Fan Bing Bing is a "Crying Drunk"

Fan Bing Bing has only learned to "drink" in recent years, so it is only natural that she have one or two experiences where she has exceeded her limit. When she gets drunk, she is not your typical "happy drunk"; instead she is crying in pain! Her old friends are used to it and think nothing of it, but new friends are quite scared. "However, while drunk I am actually 30% awake, I am actually quite sober deep down. Because that is like how boys are, I may consider wearing male clothes to meet a future mother-in-law!" She believes that it will allow the mom to think her son has a new friend.

Bing Bing feels that she lacks a "weak, pitied" aspect, which separates her from Zhang Zi Yi, Renee Liu and similar female stars. Males feel a pulling need to want to protect the aforementioned stars, but not her. Also, she admits that she gets along with male co-stars very easily, often connecting with them on a deeper level. "For example, Anthony Wong may be a weird person, but has his own unique taste and point of view. Alex Fong (Fong Chung Sun) is very manly, and exudes a sense of responsibility. As for Vic Zhou, he is very lively and loves to tell funny jokes."

Show Luo used his unlimited credit card plus $USD 1000/day cash spent in New York

Show Luo (Xiao Zhu) went to New York to learn dancing for about two weeks. His dancing and English became really strong, but his blood-bursting shopping strength is even stronger.

In just three short days, he already spent NT$100,000 cash. He even used his unlimited credit card to buy items to fill up two big luggage. How much did he spend?

He joked, saying, "I don't even know. I'll know when the bill comes."

translator's note:
NT$100,000 = ~US$3,000; average US$1,000 per day for three days

This article seems to be referring to Show's earlier trip to NYC in April 2009, where he went to take general dance classes. That was when he stayed there for about two weeks. His trip to NYC for the new album and MV did not actually last for two weeks, so I'm assuming that this article make a little mistake and referred back to his earlier NYC trip, and not the most recent one.

William Chan took Gillian Chung, Charlene Choi, Michelle Wai and Vivien Chow’s "first time"

Gillian Chung, William Chan, Michelle Wai and the rest of the cast including producer Chapman To and the director attended EEG's new film blessing ceremony. EEG's boss Albert Yeung also came to support, which clearly shows this film is a big production. Chapman praised that the acting from the cast was amazing, especially female lead Ah Gil who had a Bob haircut along with high heels. Mr. Yeung praised that she's so pretty that he'll faint.

Ah Gil reveals that in the new film, she plays William's girlfriend, having many kiss and bed scenes. She also gave her first on-screen kiss to him: "When the director called cut, I had to immediately push him away, the second time he backed off himself. After a few more kisses, he was pretty good to kiss. The bed scenes are still undergoing changes, it won't be pornographic." She then laughed and said that William and Michelle will have even more heated kiss scenes. Asked if she's worried that her film cannot be shown in Mainland? She said: "It's an artistic film, the main focus is the Hong Kong market."

William laughed and said that because Ah Gil gave her first kiss to him, looks like the kiss was filled with brain fire, he said: "I'm honored to take Ah Gil and Michelle's 'first time', even if there was no fee, I would still do it! (Who are you more heated with?) Michelle. We kissed more than 10 times and still had to keep going after 4 hours! From the bathroom to the corridor, living room to the sofa. My back was hurting after filming." Michelle laughed: "Kissed so much that my lips felt scraped. We were rolling around so much that our legs were bruised and we had to do it with many movements too." William said that he's usually filming in his underwear for most of the film. To show off his acting career, he has won Charlene Choi, Ah Gil, Michelle and Vivien Chow's 'first time' in different styles. Speaking of Michelle's breakthrough scene of revealing her full back, she said: "I didn't dare to watch the play back, when the Director called cut, I started crying."
