I play good girls often. This time there is a scene where I'll walk out without a shirt on. (Have to be especially sexy?) I have to wear provoking clothes to attract customers."

Because scenes will take place in Sham Shui Po, asked whether she worried about mistaken as a real prostitute, she said: "I'm prepared. I'll go to there to observe, learn more about it. I also bought Prudence Liew's 'True Women For Sale' as reference." She expressed she wore a nude bra to boost her chest yesterday. Reporters joked that it had a pretty good effect. She said: "I already have some qualities. I added a push up bra today because our producer wants me to have better effects."

Kara Hui Is Currently Ahead In The Race of 'Best Actress'

First Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress Kara Hui is nominated again in the same category with movie "At the End of Daybreak" According to reliable source, after two rounds of voting, she currently has most votes and a little bit ahead of Sandra Ng ("Echoes of The Rainbow") and Zhang Jinchu ("Night and Fog"). Although some judges haven't vote yet, but it's highly possible that Kara can win the same award she won 28 years ago! As for "Best Actor," the battle is between Simon Yam and Wang Xue Qi. But because Simon is nominated with two films, votes are scattered, making "Bodyguards and Assassin"'s Wang take the advantage.

Kara is picking the perfect dress to wear to the ceremony. She first went to try gowns in Central's Escada. Then went to browse some jewelries, but she still hasn't decide yet: "Still don't know what I'll be wearing. Maybe I'll pick a green gown, that color gives me luck! I have to thank so many friends who helped me. Wearing these expensive gowns and accessories boost my confidence." Kara once said it would be very meaningful to win Best Actress again. Although Sandra is a big rival since "Echoes of The Rainbow" won crystal bear award in Berlin Film festival, but Kara is still full of confidence: "I'm good friends with Sandra. I'll be happy whoever win the award. My character in the movie isn't quite mentally stable, it's harder to play. But still depends on the judges. Hope everything works out fine."

Voting for HK Film Awards is divided into two rounds. First round and nominees are voted by all registered voters and a selected group of 100 professional adjudicators. Second round are voted by 50 professional adjudicators and twelve executive Committee members of the HKFA, as well as members of the thirteen professional film bodies. This year's 50 professional adjudicators list include Charlie Yeung, Gillian Chung, and Amigo Chui, etc.

Taiwanese artiste Da Bing 大炳 (other names: Topper, Tony Fish / Real Name: 余炳賢) is once again caught for drug use. Taipei police was informed this morning saying there is a drug trade in a building on Lin Seng street. Police found drugs such as heroine, amphetamine, etc. in the apartment and arrested five people at the scene ; Surprisingly, one of them is artiste Da Bing.

Da Bing was involved in a celebrity drug use scandal in 2007 and he admitted to amphetamine use. He was caught again using drugs in a motel in April last year. After two times of drug scandals, his career was greatly affected. He ended his management contract and announced his withdrawal from showbiz.

This morning when the police broke into the apartment, it's known that Da Bing begged the police with tears  do not arrest him. If proven Da Bing really did use drugs again, it seems he can't escape the maximum five years of imprisonment.

As an artiste, Da Bing is more known for his entertaining role in variety shows and idol dramas. His notable roles in idol dramas include lawyer Douglass in "Fated to Love You," Nicloas Teo's personal assistant in "Woody Sambo," and Cheryl Yang's colleague Romeo in "My Queen."

1. P.S Man  偷心大聖PS男 (TTV) - 4.53

3. Because of You 星光下的童話 (CTS) - 0.32

"P.S Man" remains in the #1 spot with average rating of 4.53. I do think the party scene and Amanda revealing her secret are part of the reasons why the drama is #1 again. "P.S Man" has been having interesting scenes than "Down With Love," which is currently focusing on its 5-triangle relationship. "Because of You" is no match unfortunately; the battle is between "P.S Man" and "Down With Love."
