Fala Chen just signed a record company, breaking into the music industry. Yesterday she went to Char Siu Yan's show and said boyfriend supports her 100%. Born in a music family, she joked she is a "music princess." However, she is often criticized by her father, who is a piano teacher, saying she has problems of singing out of tune. There is one time Fala forgot lyrics and she was yelled by her father. At a mall event, she performed Teresa Teng's song. Her father called her to ask how was her performance. She said because she forgot lyrics so she changed two words and no one noticed. The next her father yelled at her through e-mail, she said: "He said that my attitude is wrong. I shouldn't change other people's lyrics. It's disrespectful and not professional. Since then I become very cautious, don't dare to sing it wrong." As for Joyce Cheng and Jade Kwan, who are in the same record company with her, are fighting for the title of "yat jeh" (first sister), Fala joked can't she be "yat mui' (first younger sister).

Mr. Hong Kong 2010 Ten Contestants

Source: Mingpao / Translated by: KAY @ kays-entertainment.blogspot.com

Mr. Hong Kong 2010 would be held in August 21. TVB picked 10 Mr. HK contestants from 29 people who came to interview. Yesterday the 10 contestants were arranged to meet with TVB's high executives. But the quality among the contestants varied. Sam, who has many pimples on his face successfully made into the next round, and is supported by Ho Lai Chun, who said it's easy to get rid of acne. TVB would also increase production fee, providing 3D effect for viewers to enjoy Mr. HK contestants in swimwear and getting wet. It would even arrange viewers to enjoy the 3D effect in theaters and mall.

During interviewing, "sunshine Eric Suen" Angus Yip and Mr. Asia 2005 runner-up William Chak made into round of 10 successfully. Specially tanned himself, Angus seems more sunshine than before. Although photos of him taking off his shirt are exposed from Facebook, but he said he hasn't delete his account yet. William is said he looks like Michael Miu. Asked whether he is confident in winning? He said: "Depends on fate, no much confidence." When requested to pose a Michael Miu pose to take pictures, he said embarrassingly: "Don't play me lar!"

The youngest contestant (18 years old) Argus seemed reserved. He doesn't know how to pose and black-faced because he doesn't know what to do. In contrast, 20-year-old Michael from Vancouver changed a lot compared to last time during interview. Besides answering all questions, he also gave reporters an Edison-style smile. Lee Yin Gong from Malaysia tried to win good impression from female reporters with his electrified eyes.

Ho Lai Chun expressed the reason why there are only 10 Mr. Hong Kong contestants is because they won't divide them into youth and maturity groups anymore. Age ranges from 18 to 35 years old. Besides looking at their looks, they would also stress on performance, so that's why among the contestants there are performers from Mainland TV station and gym teachers. Many also have fundamentals in kungfu. Several of them even know wing-chun.

Ethan Ruan and Mark Chao Both Lost at the 12th Taipei Film Festival

Ethan Ruan and Mark Chao are nominated "Best Actor" in the 12th annual Taipei Film Festival with movie "Monga." Outsiders pointed out it's a fight between the two. During the presentation, director of the this movie Douze Niu said he worried once one of them walked onto the stage, the media would have many things to make up; later he said his biggest worry is neither of them would win this award. In the end, 11-years-old Bi Hsiao Hai beat the two and won the award.

Ivy Chen Yihan and Amber Kuo won "Best Actress" and "Best New Actor." Because she didn't prepare much, when Ivy was giving her speech, she didn't know what to say and even asked "good brother" Mark what she should do, should she cry? Originally working on her new album, Amber arrived at the event immediately when she knew she won her award. Maybe she was too emotional, she gave her speech in tears: "I have identity as a singer and actor, it's very hard to be acknowledged in both fields at the same time."
