Ada Choi, 37, is Pregnant!

Congratulations! After two years of marriage, Ada Choi is finally pregnant!

It was the actress' husband Max Zhang who told the news. The actor attended to a celebration event for movie "Team of a Miracle: We Will Rock You" and announced the news after being asked by reporters. But he did not disclose how many months his wife is pregnant for.

"You guys ask Ada. I just know about it," he said, "We don't know the sex of the baby yet, but it doesn't matter, as long as he/she is healthy!"

But according to Mary Hong, who is currently filming a Mainland series with the mom-to-be, she should be more than 3-months pregnant.

The "Fly With Me" actress still has to work even though she is pregnant. Husband Max expressed the job is decided before the pregnancy. To take care of his pregnant wife well, he hired 2 additional assistants to take care of her meals. He also disclosed she plans to return home before Chinese New Year.

Pregnant women have mood swings often and that is not an exception for 37-year-old. Max disclosed his wife has a bad temper already and now it gets even worst. But he understands it is normal and does not mind.

"I understand it's hard for them [pregnant women] to control. I'm treating her like a queen now, but I'm very happy."

Chen Han Dian Wants to Be the Comic Leehom Wang

Only spent four years in the showbiz, Chen Han Dian jumps from being just an unknown assistant host to now a popular artiste. The goofball in popular talk show "Kangxi Laile" is even rumored of earning $260,000 per episode. His manager reveals the secret to his success: keeping the mystery.

To build a mysterious feeling, the "Monga" actor is not allowed to attend to other shows as guest. His personal life would be revealed easily and that would break the mystery. His manager would tell people who invite the 25 year old to their shows: "Do you see Leehom Wang a regular in many shows?"

Not only that, his manager restricted the artiste to appear in public places often with the same reason: keeping the mystery. The young actor cannot even go to pubs like other artistes because his manager afraid his handsomeness would attract lots of girls.

Not even a slip of alcohol is allowed because his image has to be "clean and fresh." His manager would tell him: "Can you imagine Leehom Wang drinking?" The only leisure activities he can do is stay at home, play video games, watch television, or dance crazily in the living room until his family goes shock.

Wong He & Linda Chung Team Up As On-screen Couple

Wong He and Linda Chung attended to the promotion event for new series "Twilight Investigation" (囧探查過界).  Wong even said he wants to team up with Linda as a new unofficial on-screen couple, and Linda generously agreed.

Wong said: "This time I want to pair with Linda as the end-of-the-year on-screen couple. Never tried that the 16 years I'm in showbiz. Hope everyone give us a chance. (Must face strong competitors like Raymond Lam and Ron Ng?) We are unofficial on-screen couple. I'll replace them when they're busy, trying to make Linda stand out. She really wants to buy a house. If she has more work, then she can buy one more quickly. (She already owns one?) Then I'll give this opportunity to another one. Oceane Zhu is not bad." Wong also worried about the series because it is aired after anniversary series "No Regrets." But he is confident because first episode is already very funny.

Linda said: "I also want to pair with Wong He. Always rumor with Raymond and Ron, Wong He rarely has rumors. It would be happy if we can take stage jobs together. He is a very good partner." She admitted wanting to buy another house because there is not enough rooms when her parents stay in Hong Kong.

Gigi Leung Has a Date With New Beau

Several months after she announced her split with French boyfriend of four years, it seems Gigi Lai has found another right man to be in a romantic relationship: Matthew.

Coincidence or not, Matthew, whose full name is Dolbow Matthew Steven, is also a foreigner. He stands 6 feet tall, which matches the 5'8 Gigi very well, and is quite a handsome man. Not only he is good looking, he also have a good job. He is currently a consul for the U.S Consulate General in Hong Kong and speaks for the consulate often.

The couple fell in love quickly after they were introduced by friends. But they keep their relationship in low-profile and rarely date in public. It was until yesterday reporters spotted the two in a date at a coffee shop. Gigi and a female friend arrived at the coffee shop where Matthew was waiting. The singer naturally went to her boyfriend and sat next to him. Happily in love, she did not mind even if there was a third party at the date.

After about 30 minutes, they decided to leave and Gigi's female friend left first to give some space to the couple. The two did not mind about other people looking at them and even walked closer and closer together.

Reporters asked Gigi the identity of the foreigner she just went out with, and she sweetly said: "My friend!." But she denied his status as her boyfriend.

It is tough when it comes to love for Gigi. In 1999, she was criticized for breaking her former boyfriend Ekin Cheng's previous relationship with TVB actress Maggie Siu. She and Ekin eventually went to separate ways 7 years later. Then this year, she announced the break-up with her French boyfriend and it was rumored the reason is because her mom disagreed in having a foreigner son-in-law.
