Leon Lai Implies TVB Copies Japanese Drama

Leon Lai attended to a RTHK radio drama event yesterday and shared his experiences of creation and reading with viewers. He displayed his role as "king of golden phrase," implying unconsciously that TVB copies Japanese drama. Leon praised RTHK is the most positive, not like other stations, copying Japanese drama but won't admit it. Then he stepped down on nowadays record albums just care about whether the cover is attractive. In the end, out of ten songs in the album, only one song is good; why not just download songs. Later Leon was asked whether many people are plagiarizing? He said: "It's just everyone keeps asking me, but reporters don't tell the truth, and magazines believe it would sell. But in fact it won't sell well gradually. If this atmosphere isn't fixed, soon there is nothing good to write." Telling people to download illegally? "No, talking about legal downloads. If you download illegally, you aren't in control anyways."

Talked about he would be one of the pallbearers for mentor Dai Si Chung? Leon said: "I would definitely attend to the funeral, but don't transform teacher's death as a news. I also told friends around me. If one day I left, just press a button, I don't want to bother friends. But this is only my thought, have to respect teacher." Whether there are too many troubling matters near him? "No, just feeling troublesome for you guys. Don't want to reply again, it would become news if I repeat."

'Pregnant Man' Due to Give Birth Any Day

The famous ‘pregnant man’ is going to be a father for the third time and is due to give birth to a new bundle of joy at any moment, an insider exclusively told RadarOnline.com on Friday.

Transgender male Thomas Beatie shocked the world in June 2008 when he became the first man to have a baby – and he is about to do it again.

“He’s full-term now and passed his due date,” said a source close to the family.

Beatie and his wife Nancy currently have two kids, daughter Susan, 2, and son Austin, 1, and the family is excited to expand their brood.

In his former life as a woman, Beatie was a beauty queen in Hawaii named Tracy. He had sexual reassignment surgery in 2002 but kept his female organs in the hope of one day becoming a parent.

That dream came true two years ago when he welcomed his daughter by natural childbirth.

The happy couple hasn’t found out the sex of the latest baby because they want to be surprised. “They have two different names prepared – one for a girl and one for a boy.”

With two young children already, “They have everything they need for the new addition,” said the source.

In preparation for the big day, “Nancy has been nesting and Thomas has been resting.”
