Sharon estimated she would recover after a month and a half. In order to affect the production of new series, she rather go filming forcefully. She said she started work at 6AM. After exposing under the sun for a whole day, she almost have a heat stroke. Plus her injured spot was aching, as a patient, she admitted she felt it was hard work. She also pointed it bothers her to film at the same place where she broke her collarbone. She felt specially stressful: "A stunt double ran the streets for me, but I still have to run a short distance. It rained a little during filming. I changed to sneakers when I run. Every step I walk, I don't want to cause accidents again."

Bobby were surrounded by female actors to celebrate his birthday from last month. He joked: "Too many 'career lines,' making me don't know where to look at." It's said his fake running nude didn't help ratings, Bobby said: "What about tell Jessica Hsuan to run nude? Last time I wore swim pants, that counts. It looked like Chinese sausage. Producer even teased me that I didn't bring my 'sea cucumber' out. If ratings reaches 50 points, I would hold a water party, definitely won't wear anything extra underneath."

Yoyo believed she was very sexy. She taped her upper body to prevent exposing. Asked whether boyfriend saw this pajama before? She said: "It's new. I'm afraid the pajamas company prepared won't fit, so I prepared my own."

'Zhong Wu Yen' Has Less Sympathetic Response, Cheryl Yang Still Supports Ratings

Ratings of Ming Dao and Cheryl Yang's "Zhong Wu Yen" (TTV/SETTV) dropped compared to its first week, dropping from 2.70 to 2.16 and losing 210,000 fans. Although they still topped the ratings chart as number one, but "Summer's Desire" at second place is following closely with ratings of 1.83. "Zhong Wu Yen"s popularity didn't meet expectation. In the past, TTV/SETTV's "My Queen" and "Fated to Love You" are hit discussions among netizens. But "Zhong Wu Yen" cannot create this wave on the internet. Besides using old story points and rigid characters, the birthmark on female lead's face is said to be too ugly, plus there aren't too many people out there that share the same experience. The drama cannot create a sympathetic response from most viewers, because it's not a common phenomenon like "marital underdog" and "pregnancy before marriage" etc, which are easier to move fans.

But yesterday Ming Dao, Cheryl Yang, and Chris Wu Kang Ren still hold a celebration event for the drama. The crew even prepared Chinese herb tea to help them relieve summer heat. Ming Dao and Chris Wu are heartache at Cheryl, who has to film under the sun, so they provided a special massage service for her.

Lindsay Lohan Released From Jail

After 13 days behind bars, Lindsay Lohan was released from the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., around 1:35 a.m. Monday.

Lohan, 24, now is in rehab. Though she was originally set to spend three months at high-end residential facility Morningside Recovery in Orange County, Calif., she will report to the UCLA Medical Center, according to TMZ.

After she completes treatment, the actress will be subject to random drug and alcohol testing until Aug. 2011, when her probation term ends. She is still allowed to take certain prescription medications.

Lohan had been behind bars since July 20 for violating probation in her DUI case. (She was originally sentenced to 90 days but was released early due to good behavior and overcrowding.)

Her time in the slammer was fraught with drama.

When she was first taken to her 12-by-8 cell, she was "crying," said Alexis Neiers (of E!'s Pretty Wild), who was in jail at the same time for burglarizing Orlando Bloom's home.

"She was talking to deputies and, you know just trying to — I couldn't really like make it out - but from what I saw the first day, I mean, she was lying in there and just trying to like calm down," she said.

Though some inmates claimed the actress was receiving special treatment, her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told UsMagazine.com that was not the case and that Lohan had even "made some friends."

Her mother Dina was most outspoken about her daughter's time behind bars.

"She doesn't have cell phone privileges, that's absurd," she said. "She doesn't even have a pillow to sleep on. I talk to her through glass. There's a phone and we put her on speaker but I can't even hug my daughter ... She's treated like a common criminal."

The singer, 29, who is pregnant, and the producer, 31, exchanged vows in front of close family and friends in a private home on the Mediterranean Sea.

Their friend Dr. Deepak Chopra presided over the intimate ceremony.

Keys wore an ivory silk, georgette-draped Vera Wang goddess gown with jewel detail on the back shoulder.

She carried a bouquet of purple calla lilies. The groom donned a classic Tom Ford tuxedo.

"Wowwwwwwwwww," Beatz (real name: Kasseem Dean) Twittered Saturday. He later wrote, "It's a brand new day :) I feel like Nas and Diddy song :) love y’all and blessing!"

Keys announced she was engaged -- and expecting! -- in late May.

"She is thrilled," a pal told Us at the time. "She is with the man who has inspired so much of her music and her new album [The Element of Freedom]."

Last fall, the producer gushed about their relationship. "What we have is so precious," he told the New York Daily News.

The two have been together since fall 2008.

Beatz is currently in the studio working on his third album; Keys released her fourth studio album, The Element of Freedom, last year.
