Donnie Yen pockets $15million for sexy underwear campaign

Very few stars can demand over 10 million RMB per movie, but that is not the case if you are WORLD STAR Donnie Yen! In fact, 10 million is not even enough to pay half of his salary for a movie, but it might be enough to get him to model some men's underwear. Donnie Yen was rumored to have been paid 15 million for doing a new set of underwear ads for a brand in Mainland China. Concerning his payday, he said, "It is over 10 million, but I can't give the exact numbers."
Donnie Yen has been on a roll in 2009 with a string of hit movies. He was called the number one money-maker of the year, reportedly making over 200 million RMB. He responded, "Huh? Oh no! That's exaggerated! The revenue department will come after me, there is no way I'll admit to this!" Concerning rumors that his salary-per-movie has risen to 22 million, he said, "Someone has offered me this amount to do a movie, but artists are in a passive position. The market adjusts naturally, like stocks rising and falling. I can only do my best in each movie."
His new movie Bodyguards and Assassins has made over 275 million in the Mainland box office. Donnie Yen would like to thank the audience for their support. He said the movie's success is not solely based on him, and he was already happy just to be a part of the production. His new movie 14 Blades, in which he battles Pirate Wu Chun, will hit theatres during the Chinese New Year. Donnie Yen said he doesn't feel the burden of box office success, and only hopes that everyone can acknowledge his contribution and influence to Chinese movies.
Unfortunately there is no video footage of his photo shoot, but here's a clip of Donnie Yen when he visited SETTV's Showbiz (WQYL) to promote Ip Man. Hosts JR and Meng Zhe show what happens when fools try to challenge Donnie Yen.....

Raymond Lam almost damaged his eyeball

Raymond Lam took part in the Hong Kong Community Chess "million" fund raising walk yesterday, having finished his concert in Macau two days ago. Raymond is not representing TVB for the fund raising activity this time, rather he is representing the radio station as a singer for this event. When Raymond took his sunglasses off, the reporter noticed a red mark right underneath the corner of his left eye. He told reporter "I was rehearsing the dance routine, one of the dancers had accidentally injured my left eye corner. It nearly got to the eye ball. She (the dancer) didn't do it on purpose and I didn't want to say too much. I didn't want her to feel bad about it." Raymond revealed that since he had injured his eye, tears kept rolling down on his cheek in the concert. The audience thought he was so emotional that he was crying. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao S defends husband from alleged cheating

Last December 30th, Dee Xu's (Xiao S) husband Xu Ya Jun (Mike) was seen in 2 different places, holding a pretty girl by the waist at the entrance of a pub in Taipei, attracting much speculation. Undoubtedly his mood was really down, but yesterday Xiao S comforted him by taking a shot at herself: "I can only say that this is the price he has to pay for marrying a star!" Barbie Xu (Da S) stood by her brother-in-law: "Mike is a gentleman who really knows how to take care and look out for others".
According to Taiwan's Apple Daily, Xiao S's husband, Mike was accompanied by a hot girl in a pub last December 30th, and photographs of him caught holding a lady's waist upon leaving came from a reader who signed off as "unable to bear it". Although he has denied cheating by saying he's "self-controlled and esteemed", but his mood was still affected. Xiao S said in dismay: "I've been an artiste for too long; I know very well the mentality of the readers and media. He's still not used to it, but between us, a one-sided allegation will not affect my love and trust in him."
She did not take her husband's action of "holding the waist" to heart: "He's usually really chivalrous, besides it was only a slight touch, compared to me jumping on Godfrey Gao, that is still fine." She continues joking even while standing up for her husband, but also reveals that Mike had personal complaints: "He feels that after marrying me, every time he goes out the door he's being watched, causing him unease; just like for some, their hobby is playing golf, so his hobby is to meet up with his friends in pubs. I used to frequent pubs too, but because I felt that you needed to shout constantly, and there was no way to chat, so now I prefer simple activities like drinking wine, and having dinner."
Xiao S expressed that she will not control her husband's activities because of this. Xiao S's parents-in-law also chose to believe in their son upon knowing that their son made the headlines, but warningly said: "If it is easy to be misunderstood, then it is better to avoid going."
Xiao S's sister Da S came back to Taiwan from Hong Kong after an event for a skincare brand she's endorsing yesterday. She revealed that she went with her mum to Xiao S's house early in the morning to see her niece; their mum immediately said loudly: "No good, Mike made the headlines." Mike awkwardly smiled bitterly at his mother-in-law: "Mum, I'm sorry."
Da S continued saying: "The couple were normal yesterday, they had breakfast with toast together; my brother-in-law is usually very considerate, whenever friends gather together, he would take care of everyone."

It’s another boy for Cecilia Cheung!

Veteran Hong Kong actor Patrick Tse has revealed that his daughter-in-law, actress Cecilia Cheung is expecting a boy.

He told reporters on Sunday that he was informed immediately after his son, actor Nicholas Tse, and Cheung found out the gender of their second child.

When asked about his thoughts on Cheung having a second male child, Tse replied that he was "not disappointed in any way" and said that it did not matter because the couple "will continue to have children".

"I have always doted on Cheung because she is a great person; she always puts her family first and is willing to sacrifice for her family," he added.

Cheung's mother-in-law, former actress Deborah Lee, also said that the gender of the baby "did not matter" and that it is more important for both mother and child to stay safe.

Lee has certainly put her money where her mouth is. She has reportedly been preparing Chinese herbal tonics that cost almost HK$10,000 (S$1,800) per dose for Cheung on a regular basis.

Patrick Tse's revelation ends speculation over the gender of Cheung's second child since the couple announced last year that they were expecting another child.

The pair have been keeping mum about the gender since the announcement and were only willing to say that they "had done an ultrasound scan but the result is unknown".

Cheung gave birth to her first child, Lucas, in 2007 and had reportedly suffered two miscarriages prior to her current pregnancy. Her second child is due in May this year.

Fahrenheit gave away towel; 80 year old fan goes crazy

Idol group Fahrenheit is promoting their concert DVD and held an autograph session. They signed thousands of DVDs until their hands were sore, and even their crew had to help massage the hands of the singers/actors. Calvin Chen joked, "I am so tired of signing I don’t even want to use a credit card anymore!" At their year-end banquet, the members each donated at least $50,000 NT, explaining that they had promised that the more DVDs sold the more they would donate. After a staggering 50,000 DVDs were sold, they were happy to match that amount by their donations.

Fahrenheit held autograph sessions on the 9th in Tainan and Taizhong. They took the recently constructed high-speed rail, and fans closely followed, with over 300 fans buying tickets for the high-speed rail in order to ride with their idols and give them gifts. As a result, it caused a great deal of confusion and traffic at the rail station, and the conductors struggled to control the commotion. Jiro Wang constantly reminded the fans to be careful of their safety and not to cause trouble for the other passengers.

At their event, Fahrenheit prepared heat packs and exclusive Fahrenheit towels to give away to lucky fans. After the four finished performing, they accidentally wiped their sweat with the towels that were meant to be given to the fans. It turns out that the fans didn’t care, and even preferred, these "scented" towels as they frantically clamored to grab the towels being thrown to them. One particularly special recipient was an 80-year old grandmother, who was given Wu Chun’s towel by the kind-hearted fan who originally caught it. When the elderly fan received the towel, she couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.

Since they rarely have the opportunity to take a vacation during the New Year, Fahrenheit is excited for the short break and the upcoming year’s activities and hope all goes well. Wu Chun plans to take the opportunity to rest, but the youngest of the group, Arron Yan, said, "I hope to be able to go to Los Angeles and see Kobe Bryant play." Jiro has chosen to reunite with his family, and plans to go vacation abroad with his mother. Calvin and Arron’s delayed idol drama, "Love Buffet", will finally be re-shooting this year, and Calvin prays that he will have an excellent performance and also have good opportunities for new projects.

Jerry Yan and Ella kissed in abduction scene

Earlier, while filming an abduction scene, the director added a kissing section last minute, and caused nearby child star Xiao Xiao Bin to cover his eyes when they started making out. Ella and Jerry have many kissing scenes in this drama, and Ella expressed that this drama is very interesting and different. "For example, I had to receive a hand grenade from Jerry through our mouths, and it got caught many times, making us laugh. The setting was also very hot, so our bodies got very dirty." However, they continued to film and finished the scenes like professionals.
