Michele Reis is Pregnant With Baby Girl

Michele Reis hasn't made a public appearance since she was rumored of 4-months pregnant. Lately she and husband Julia Hui were photographed of having dinner at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui and her belly is clearly visible. She also changed her usual style and wore flats instead. Michele and her husband are easy in having kids and they never went to ask help from doctors nor accepted artificial insemination. Two months ago when she was on a trip to Europe, Michele found out she is pregnant and immediately told husband that she couldn't continue the trip. Although doctor confirmed Michele is carrying a daughter, but the Hui family is still very happy and nervous for the baby. Julian even expressed he likes daughter more. He believes Michele the beauty can give birth to a little beauty and continues the beauty legend.

It's known the Hui family already hired a foreign nutritionist to set nutritious meals for Michele and also arranged the nutritionist to stay in Hong Kong. To prevent wife being disturbed by the media, Julian and Michele already moved to a hotel in Kowloon. However, this accidental pregnancy interrupted Michele's original schedule to film a Chanel commercial in Europe. Commercials for clothes and diet products in the next 10 months have to be canceled and Michele is estimated to lose at least 30 million HKD. Fortunately, many agencies are willing to cooperate and agreed to work again after Michele gives birth.

Michele's manager didn't confirm Michele's pregnancy. When asked whether Michele lost 30 million HKD because of pregnancy, he said: "Just what the magazine wrote. I always accepting jobs for her. Did I receive any good news? Today is Gaile Lok's event. I won't reply to any questions."

Charmaine said: "This character is female 'ah wong' [Roger Kwok's mentally retarded character in 'Square Pegs']. But Roger's Ah Wong is already very well-known. I'm a 30+ year old, in order to play someone with a 10-year-old intelligence, the biggest difficulty is to convince viewers. I interacted with those children in specialty schools and learned from them."

Raymond said he has been busy filming movies and holding concerts, and hasn't filmed TV series for half of a year. Ratings of his series "Growing Through Life" is medicore. It's rumored he hopes to win this year's TV king with "GTL," so he's feeling disappointed? He said: "Don't say that. I'm happy to have Damien Lau to guide us. My acting improved. (Whether afraid of disputes by not talking about TV king?) It's just boring. I'm afraid I say too much." As for Charmaine attracts rumors a lot? Raymond said: "When I collaborate with her, he always have rumors with other people. I have to review myself how come no rumors between us. Maybe she doesn't like my type."

Hebe Wishes Ella Was the Male Lead For Her 2nd MV

S.H.E’s Hebe Tian will be releasing her solo debut "To Hebe" on September 3rd. The "Super Newcomer" (we didn't make this up, that's what her company is labeling her) is already garnering the attention of stars including Fish Leong. The songstress wrote on her blog, “I can finally hear your character, breaking free on your own, I like it a lot.”  A-Mei Chang also showed her support, “Hebe Tian, the girl who loves to sing, you are amazing! The new song is just too good, and touching.”

In contrast to the video for her first single "Love!", Hebe gets a human costar in the form of a male model for her second single “寂寞寂寞就好” (which roughly translates to “Fine with being lonely”.) The two made a good looking couple as they chased each around the beach, but Hebe revealed her ideal costar was in fact Ella. She said she has wanted to act alongside her groupmate, but unfortunately she’s not a guy. The music video is said to be over 4 minutes long and plays like a mini-movie. It will premiere on August 26th on (the local) MTV.

Ella Koon: Really mad and upset. Although I'm not a police, but I saw many opportunities for them to take down the gunman. But they chose to break in using force...Now I don't know whether I would go to Philippine again, because that place is really disturbing.

Raymond Wong: The country, the government, and the police don't even have the basic knowledge of how to protect citizens.

Cally Kwong:  Level of the rescue strategy is very low, people aren't smart enough...He was standing at the door when he released the hostage. Police could've shoot him. I really don't understand. You see plots like this in movies all the time.

Roger Kwok and Cindy Ou: Watched interview with the Filipino president...he was smiling frivolously! 


Michael Tse: After this incident, I've lost confidence at their police and security.
