Asia Emmy Awards to be Held in March 2011

U.S Emmy Awards, Taiwan's Golden Bell Awards and Mainland's Hua Ding Awards are all award presentations giving TV artists recognition. Because Hong Kong lacks a fair and justice TV awards ceremony, the HK Television Association finally received subsidies from the government to hold an "Asia Emmy Awards" called the Asian TV Awards, scheduled for March 2011. The awards ceremony invites local outstanding artists from series and non-serial programs to participate. It was said that Barbie Hsu from Taiwanese drama "Summer's Desire," Charmaine Sheh and Moses Chan from TVB's "Can't Buy Me Love," Rain (Bi) from Korean drama "The Fugitive: Plan B" and Takuya Kimura from Japanese drama "Moon Lovers" are invited to compete for TV King and Queen awards.

Judges will be picked from local TV stations in Asia. Programs aired from March 2010 to March 2011 in Asia can apply to compete in the award ceremony. Not only it is an award ceremony for TV programs, other categories such as music will be included as well.

Vanness Wu Injured on the Head

Certainly not a good day for Vanness Wu.

The "Autumn Concerto" star was filming a glasses commercial yesterday. Theme of the commercial stresses on man power so Vanness was arranged to drum and his drum sticks were wrapped with crushed stones. Some of them bounced to his head while he was drumming, resulting in a 3-cm long laceration on his head.

The singer went to a small clinic to stop the bleeding from the wound. The doctor expressed they must shave off some of his hair first. His manager immediately asked a professional hairstylist to cut off a handful of hair near the wound, preventing the singer's idol image to fall apart.

Vanness returned to the filming set after treatment and went to the doctors again after work. Doctor said no need to sew up the wound and advised him not to have heavy workouts the next few days.

It was actually fine the first time when the F4 member filmed this scene. But the director hoped for a better result so he had re-film it, which caused yesterday's little accident to happen.

Ella Koon's Photos With BF Almost Leak Out

Ella Koon went to a radio station for interviews yesterday and exposed she lost her cellphone: "I found out I lost my cellphone when I got off the car. I'm very worried! Because there are many phone numbers of artistes in the phone. (Where did you lose it?) I think it was in the parking lot. Because when I went to get my car, I looked at my phone for time. Then it was gone when I arrived here. I immediately told my assistant to call my number and told staff to go find it for me in the lot."

The singer was very worried during the interview. She admitted there are personal photos with her boyfriend in the phone, but no explicit messages: "Only sentences like I miss you. I rarely lose my phone and wallet. I'm so worried right now."

Good friend Pakho Chau exposed Ella always put her phone around in different places. He has "saved" her so many times.

Fortunately she found her phone in the end: "Very lucky! The staff really found my phone in the parking lot! It's lucky that I didn't drive on it!"

Bernice Liu Praises Roger Kwok is More Kissable Than Moses Chan

TVB's new sitcom "Show Me the Happy" held its first promotion event yesterday and actors from the sitcom Roger Kwok, Bernice Liu, Michelle Yim, etc attended.

Talking about the intimate kissing scene with Roger, Bernice said: "We have many kissing scenes. He gets on top of me in some of them, then I'm on top of him."

Asked which one is more kissable, Roger or Moses Chan? She seems to have answered a different question: "Roger eats Thai-food and Viet-food often, always have garlic smells in his breath."

Then which flavor is more kissable? She said with a laugh: "Roger is new partner, of course it is him. Plus I don't need to tell Moses before-hand."

Roger was asked whether Moses would be mad at him, and he replied: "If Moses comes, I would pretend I didn't see him. My wife won't get mad. We have a very stable relationship."

Because the series is currently filming, actors from the series were not able to attend to last week's Anniversary Gala. Roger expressed he might not even attend to the upcoming Anniversary Awards: "Not showing up this year, I'll come next year then!"

Christina Aguilera Holds Hands With New Guy

Is Christina Aguilera ready to go public with her rebound man?

In Los Angeles Sunday, the star -- who filed for divorce from Jordan Bratman last month -- was photographed in L.A. holding hands with new guy Matt Rutler, a set assistant whom she met while making Burlesque.

It's definitely progress for the duo: The last time Rutler stepped out with Aguilera, 29 (during a Nov. 5 outing at L.A.'s Soho House with Nicole Richie and Joel Madden), he attempted to hide from the cameras.

"They've been on a few dates," a source says earlier this month, explaining that they reconnected after Aguilera's September separation from Bratman, her husband of five years.

Cautioned the source: "She's not looking to jump into a relationship right now. She...is focusing on spending as much time as possible with Max," her two-year-old son with Bratman, 33.

Rutler has been "really good for her and is helping her through this difficult time," adds the insider.

Sonija Kwok Denies Flirting With Michael Miu

Oh boy! Sonija Kwok is once again accused of flirting with cast members during filming!

The TVB actress is currently filming new series <抉宅男女> and she plays the wife of Michael Miu. It has only been two months and already rumored the actress is flirting with Miu. The two hold hands during and outside of filming, causing Miu's wife Jaime Chik to check on them at the filming set.

As for rumored with male leads again, Kwok did not even want to clear it up: "It's too fake. I don't want to promote for the magazine."

Later the day, the 35 year old vented out her anger on Weibo: "As for the recent magazine story, I have nothing to say."

Her newest rumored partner Miu replied to Kwok's message: "A Team from 'Gun Metal Grey' needs to come out and solve this case. Have to bring the forensics people to the company to search evidence...haha! Just treat it as free promotion. Don't affect your mood. You know, I know, even my wife knows, just for a laugh."

Miu later expressed in a phone interview that his wife is not mad at all: "But we are worried about Sonija. We play a couple in the series. She told me she is quite stressed about working with me because there are always negative news when she worked with other male actors in the past, so she isn't dared to come near me during break. But I told her to just relax."

Miu's wife also supports Kwok: "I've known her for more than 10 years. She endorsed for our eye-glasses store when she just made her debut to the showbiz. It's bad how she is quiet and nice, but other people still write negative things about her."

Miu's wife also exposed her husband likes to hold hands with others: "He would even do that with hairstylists. I hold hands with other actors during filming, so he should be angry at me, too?"

Kwok always have rumors with actors she works with. Notably with Michael Tao, which was rumored to have caused Tao's marriage to fall apart. For a list of Kwok's rumors, check here.
