The King Of Thailand bestows Holy Mud for The White Dragon King's Contribution

Thailand's "White Dragon King" Chow Yam Nam passed away on the 17th. The funeral took place today and his remains will be buried in the family cemetery Yam Nam Hall. To honor the White Dragon King's contributions, the King of Thailand bestowed holy mud a royal representative delivered to the venue and a holy mud ceremony took place. The White Dragon King's remains will be buried with the holy mud.

Earlier Hong Kong artists Andy Lau Tak Wa, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Shawn Yue Man Lok, Eric Tsang Chi Wai, Andrew Lau Wai Keung, Nat Chan Pak Cheung, Wong Hung Sau and Peter Lam Kin Ngok all have pay their respect to the White Dragon King in Thailand. Yesterday the services began. Workers were present early on and Madame also showed a smile when playing with her grandson. Someone carried the King of Thailand's portrait to the hall and handled the floral arrangement arrivals. Timmy Hung Tin Ming sent a giant floral arrangement that was taller than the door. Yesterday a ceremony began at 1 PM at the White Dragon King temple. His family could not hold back their tears any longer and everyone chanted for the White Dragon King until 3 PM. Today's funeral begins at 7AM with high ranking monk chants. Service begins at 10 AM, at 11 AM the acceptance of the royal holy mud takes place and 1 PM the funeral will conclude as the coffin will be transported to the family cemetery Yam Nam Hall for burial.

Andrew Lau Wai Keung and his wife arrived at 7AM and was obviously calmer than when he rushed to pay his respect in the middle of last month. He joked that he arrived earlier than reporters and even chatted with Madame. Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Wong Jing, Mr. and Mrs. Manfred Wong (Man Jun), Mr. and Mrs. Albert Yeung Sau Sing and Natalie Meng Yao also paid their respect.

Wong Jing and his wife arrived around 10 AM. In order to bid farewell to the White Dragon King in Thailand, Wong Jing postponed the shoot of FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON) in Macau. He attends today's funeral before returning to Hong Kong. Wong Jing has known the White Dragon King for over 20 years. He said, "Master didn't flaunt his abilities. He urged for his disciples to train and to be filial. He taught me to be have patience and not to throw a tantrum. Back then I crossed many people in the film industry, when I was at the bottom I was ganged up upon. Master told me to be low key, resolve with tolerance and leniency and get over the hard times."

Wong Jing never had a chance to truly come in contact with the Master in the first 6 to 7 years that he knew the Master, later he became his close disciple. The White Dragon King was rumored to have written the word "wealth" on Wong Jing's belly. Wong Jing said, "It was written on my hand. It was a blessing from the Master, he could have written anything."

Meng Yao rushed from Beijing. She was heart broken that the Master has passed away and was on a vegetarian diet for 7 days. "5 years ago Wong Jing brought me to see the White Dragon. The Master said that I could work in the film business and put me at ease. This April after I had my child, I was worried that my career would stall. The Master spoke to me and asked me to find him later. I never expected that day would be our final encounter."

Around 7PM, Mr. and Mrs. Yeung Sau Sing arrived with a police escort. Madame personally welcomed them as disciples erected a human wall to protect them. Yeung Sau Sing embraced and consoled Madame. He was brought to the Hall to present incense sticks. Yeung Sau Sing and his wife stayed for a hour before leaving. "Master helped me with a lot, and I benefited a lot from it. He even helped my friends. Every word of the Master was never wrong. It was very amazing and very holy. His passing was a great loss to me."

The White Dragon King's eldest grandson yesterday was present, reportedly he returned from the U.S. for the funeral. Since the White Dragon King passed away, his successor and the large sum inheritance both caught attention. Madame said that she would not talk much about sensitive subjects. The eldest grandson was present yesterday and placed in the front row, which again led to speculation. When the media asked the White Dragon King's eldest disciple Elder Lo about the inheritance issue and he said that he was not at liberty to discuss private matters.

Gabriel Harrison saves girlfriend from attempted suicide

It was reported that Effie Mok, the girlfriend of former TVB star Gabriel Harrison recently attempted suicide by swallowing 30 sleeping pills.

HK Channel website reported that Effie, who also works as a stylist, left two farewell notes after downing her pills. Her suicide attempt was believed to be caused by an earlier fight with the actor.

Luckily, she was discovered by Harrison in time, and the actor quickly called the ambulance to take her to the hospital.

The Hong Kong tabloid claimed that the incident started on 22 August. While attending a birthday party in Central, the couple had a small argument, which escalated into a big fight. Both Harrison and his girlfriend were then asked by their friends to go home in order to avoid causing more commotion.

Back home in Cyberport, it was alleged that Effie, most likely still under the influence of alcohol, kept Harrison out of their bedroom and tried to kill herself.

She was only found lying unconscious on the bed by the actor at 6.30am the next morning, and was quickly rushed to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the "Relentless Justice" actor has been unreachable for an interview since the incident.

Nat Chan pays his respect to The White Dragon King Early

Thailand's "White Dragon King" Chow Yam Nam passed away on the 17th and his funeral will take place tomorrow (September 1) at the White Dragon King Temple. Because the funeral date clashed with the Miss Hong Kong pageant, faithful believers of the White Dragon King for years Nat Chan Pak Cheung and Wong Hung Sau could only pay their respect early as they arrived in Thailand yesterday. Patrick Ts Yin, Deborah Li and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung's floral arrangements arrived as well. As soon as Sau Goo stepped into the hall she was heartbroken and shed tears, she even broke down in the arms of Madame. They stayed for one hour and left. Ah Lek recalled as early as the 80s Tian Tian Fishing Harbor days when he met the White Dragon King. At their first meting he already was advised to work with Alan Tam Wing Lun. After working together they indeed succeeded in everything!

Ah Lek said, "My relationship with the White Dragon King span several decades. After I learned of his passing I already wanted to pay my respect, but because of the Miss Hong Kong Pageant I could not make time. On the day of the funeral I had to work at the Miss Hong Kong Pageant and could not attend. Thus I came today to pay my respect." Ah Lek praised the White Dragon King as a sage, 90% of what he said was accurate. Years later aside from providing guidance to his road of life, he also helped him resolve difficulties and friends' health issue. Ah Lek recalled in the 90s he was wealthy, made several movies and had seats at two or three publicly traded companies, he thought he could retire; yet, the White Dragon King in 1994 told him to return to music.

Ah Lek said, "I never thought that the comeback to singing could lead to a 7 show Hong Kong Coliseum concert series. This wasn't superstition, just that life could have three or four choices. Master chose the road of singing for me! I was already singing at age 16, I never thought that over 20 years I would sing again and could actually perform shows." He pointed out after Master's advice, he had more confidence in doing anything. Has Sau Goo known the White Dragon for a long time? Ah Lek said, "Sau Goo trusted the Master. They had quite a connection. You can tell from how soon she no longer needed to work! The Master once advised us to learn to tolerate. Now the Master has passed, I have to properly think about my future direction." Will Eric Tsang Chi Wai come? Ah Lek said that he would not answer questions for others.

Leslie Cheung's Make Up Photo Sees The Light Of Day Again

Since completing a series of Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing memorial events earlier, many counterfeit Gor Gor commemorative tee shirts could be found online. Gor Gor's manager Chan Suk Fun decided to take legal action to stop the sales. To take care of fan needs, Mrs. Chan decided to release the commemorative tee shirts, note books, pins and other official memorabilia anew.

In the past a variety of Gor Gor memorial events was accused of taking the chance to profit. Releasing the memorabilia again this time Mrs. Chan had a fear for any accusation. "We are just making the minimum amount, mainly we are doing it for fans. We have added new content and would only announce the details on facebook. We won't be making public sales." At the same time Mrs. Chan stated that from now on now public memorial event will be held for Gor Gor, but she denied that it was due to the negative news. "I wouldn't be afraid of others defaming me, at the same time I have the support of many friends and fans."

In addition, famous photographer Wing Shya (Ha Wing Hong) who has worked with Gor Gor many times earlier planned to release a Gor Gor memorial photo book, but due to pending lawsuits the dispute was not resolved until recently. The photo book will be released next month on Gor Gor's birthday on the 12th. Only 999 copies will be printed. He said, "The entire project took two years to plan, from 5,000 to 6,000 photos we selected over 100, all were from Gor Gor's films, photo books and concerts but have never been published before."

In one of the photo Gor Gor and Tony Leung Chiu Wai were working on HAPPY TOGETHER (CHUN GUONG JA SIT). Wing took the chance when they were waiting to take their marks. Only Gor Gor and Wai Jai sat in the car together. In another photo Gor Gor was painting his eyebrows. Wing said, "Although Gor Gor had his own make up artist, he liked to do it himself sometimes." Aside from the products above, a local toy company also will release Gor Gor's long hair concert scale 1:6 figure. All will be released on Gor Gor's birthday next month on the 12th.

Miss HK 2013 Semi-Final: #13 Tammy Ou-Yang Advances By Embracing Gossips

The 2013 Miss Hong Kong Semi-Final was held two nights ago (Aug 25th). Prior to the semi-final, TVB announced the show will be executed in an all-new reality show style, but some Netizens questioned on wheather the show copied America's Next Top Model and that the show is basically "new but not new". Other viewers complaine the show was too boring and the contest regulation was a mess. Also, this year TVB didn't publicize the number of votes, which led to viewers questioning on its fairness.

The 10 finalists are as follows:
(*click to view pictures*)

(01) Kendy Cheung
(06) Moon Lau
(07) Acca Sum
(09) Virginia Lau
(12) Karen Leung
(13) Tammy Ou-Yang
(15) Sisley Choi
(16) Peggy Tsui
(17) Grace Chan
(20) Vicky Chan

The final will be held this Sunday (September 1st).

Yesterday the finalists met the press at TVB City. "Miss Gossip" (13) Tammy Ou-Yang was rumored to have borrowed from loan sharks, her rich boyfriend "takes care of her", and she smokes and parties a lot. Yesterday she got even more gossips, an insider exposed she made a fraudulent report that she has a bachelor's degree, but in fact she hasn't graduated yet. TVB shielded this allegation, but Tammy refuted: "I didn't say I finished college, I just finished my freshmen year. If you got the wrong info, then don't try to report it!" The insider also disclosed after she became a finalist, she boasted that she will be joining TVB. Tammy said: "That's ridiculous! Why would I say that out of the blue? Only say something when there is evidence!" She stressed she will not be emotionally affected by these gossips.

TVB Production Director (Non-Drama) Sandy Yu explained in an interview yesterday afternoon that the number of public votes were not disclosed to avoid causing a confusion. Some viewers felt TVB is a "black box" or under the table operation. Sandy said: "There was about a total of 360,000 votes, and about 92,000 voters. We didn't want to publicize the number because voting for the final has already begun. There is an accountant supervising the votes, and actually we do not mind publicizing the number of votes, this information will actually be announced in the final. (It was said Eric Tsang used profanity while recording the show?) I didn't hear it. Actually reporters shouldn't be in while studio recording is taking place." In regards to the contest regulations being a mess? Sandy admitted and will be holding a meeting at once to talk about the shortcomings and believed trying something new will have its "sand and stones".

As recording went into the late night, the contestants all turned ugly, Sandy expressed this year's contestants were comfortable. The "explode" of pimples were probably because some contestants came back to HK from overseas and haven't acclimated yet. She emphasized her confidence in the voting for the final being functional and firmly believed there will not be another server crash. TVB is aware that the public has doubts on the number of votes, last night the company quickly tried to make it up by announcing the top 5 most voted contestants on TVB FUN.

This Sunday, the guest judges for the final includes Raymond Lam, Lina Chung and Oscar Leung as the "Miss Photogenic" judge.

Top 5 Most Voted Contestants:
(17) Grace Chan 60,464 votes
(09) Virginia Lau 35,936 votes
(01) Kendy Cheung 35,808 votes
(15) Sisley Choi 31,119 votes
(06) Moon Lau 29,835 votes

The Midas Touch Holds A Press Conference

Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin, Chapman To Man Jat, Gao Yunxiang and other actors along with producer Chan Hing Ka and director Fung Chih Keung yesterday attended the film THE MIDAS TOUCH (CHIU CUP GAING LEI YUN) press conference in Beijing. Guest starring manager Mani Fok Man Hei was also on hand. Ah Sa gave her a special "gratitude hand print tree" and invited all the Emperor artists to leave their finger prints as a symbol of everyone's "like" for Mani's car. Mani was rather touched.

Ah Sa in the film played a manager, which made her experience how absolutely difficult being a manager was. The event asked Ah Sa to draw To Man Jat's body shape on a piece of paper. Finally she drew abdominal muscles and drooping chest and joked that he was out of shape. To Man Jat replied, "Why are the abdominal muscles leaning toward one side? Not every part of the human body leans toward one side. Luckily you didn't draw the lower half, otherwise I don't know how you would have drawn it into."

White Dragon King Chow Yam Nam passed away in Thailand last Saturday at the ag of 76. His disciple Andrew Lau Wai Kung left work and immediately flew there. Eric Tsang Chi Wai who has known the White Dragon King for 30 years two days ago also went from the Mainland to pay his respects and participate in scripture chanting.

They returned to Hong Kong one after another. Lau Wai Kung had a smile on his face but when he talked about the White Dragon King he immediately looked serious. "From last week to September 1, the services will be open to the public, every night from around 9 to 10 scripture chanting will take place. I am still sadden and Madame's emotions are still upset. The news very sudden and sad when everyone received it." Lau Wai Keung several months ago saw Master. At the time Master told him to work hard. Will he attend the September 1 funeral? Lau Wai Keung said, "Work comes first, now I am working on FROM VEGAS TO MACAU (DOH SING FUNG WON). If I will have time I definitely will attend, many business insiders will go too."

Tsang Chi Wai said that he was okay, as for whether he will attend the funeral he said, "I will have to work at the Miss Hong Kong pageant, if the company will permit me to go then I will go." He said that two nights ago he and Lau Wai Keung participated in the scripture chanting until late night.

Nat Chan Pak Cheung said that September 1 will be the Miss Hong Kong pageant finals. Early in the year he saw the White Dragon King, who thought his health was iffy. Ah Lek said, "He said no matter what happened I wouldn't need to go, perhaps it was the end of our destiny." As for dispute over his successor, Ah Lek said, "I haven't heard him say anything at all, I don't feel this needs successors. It should be natural. In 1994 when I was 44, the White Dragon King told me to return to singing. At the time I sang NGOR JI LEK, some things had to depend on timing, location and people. In recent years he has not had anything to ask him, only talked about some very difficult topics."

Has he contacted Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing)? Ah Lek said, "Lau Kar Leung's matter has already come to an end. I am only more familiar with Master. I wouldn't butt into the matter with Shaw's. I don't know anything about it or the contract content."

The White Dragon King's widow and their daughters, son in laws, disciples and others yesterday held a press conference at the White Dragon King Temple. An elder named Lo stated that the White Dragon King had no successor because no one could replace him. As for dispute over the inheritance, Elder Lo said that at this stage the White Dragon King's funeral was the most important.

Susan Shaw Thinks Dada Chan May Have Her Reasons

Susan Shaw Yam Yam, Kelvin Kwan Chor Yiu, Michelle Wai Si Nga yesterday attended a HARDCORE COMEDY (CHUNG HAU MEI) advanced screening audience appreciation event. DaDa Chan Jing was absent because she already "announced her retirement", the promotional work fell to other actors.

Shaw Yam Yam who has worked with DaDa on 3 films so far has not contacted her, as she was afraid that she could not hold back from yelling at DaDa and worried that she would ask her to stay and affect her decision. Sh felt that DaDa might have her reasons. "She worked so hard for her success today, but she chose to return to be an ordinary person. She definitely had to be very determined or perhaps she wanted to do something that made her feel happy. If I can find her, I would definitely say, 'Some toiled for 40 or 50 years and still didn't have her achievement now. You did it in two years and it came truly too easily for her. Easy come easy go!'" Shaw Yam Yam felt that DaDa's retirement was regrettable but felt that her mysterious appearance for additional shoot was honorable. Unfortunately, vanishing from the other new film on the day after the production start ceremony was irresponsible.

Kwan Chor Yiu and Wai Si Nga said that without DaDa's support they still were not worried about their promotional plans and the box office. They both agreed that they did not feel DaDa was irresponsible, instead they said with concern, "The news is a little shocking, her retirement is somewhat regrettable because she is a rising actress. Although I support her decision and want her to be happy, I am worried about her emotions as well."

Dada Chan Calls Nanny To Apologize But Remains Missing

The 24 year old pseudo model DaDa Chan Jing announced her retirement last Thursday. When ever her manager Celia Sie Lim Chi has lost with her, two days ago she appeared and worked on additional scenes for the Pang Ho Cheung directed MAN JU SA WA. Reportedly DaDa was acting up and ignoring her manager, Sie Lim Chi fell ill from being so mad and was prepared to see a lawyer about the contract today. Claiming to have mood disorder DaDa two nights ago suddenly called her company nanny to apologize but then vanished again.

Sie Lin Chi said that she did not have the energy to talk about DaDa as she herself was ill. After clear consideration over night she decided to meet with a lawyer today. She said that she has never been able to get in touch with DaDa directly.

Originally LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3) has already begun production, but because DaDa's resignation the script had to be changed and the production postponed. Since DaDa returned to work for MAN, would she have a chance to work on LAN 3 again? Director Wilson Chin Kwok Wai said that yesterday Sie Lim Chi repeatedly apologized and said that DaDa cried and apologized to the nanny, but Sie Lim Chi was not able to communicate with her directly. Now LAN 3's script has already been changed and would not hinder the production progress for one actor. Currently he only heard that she admitted her wrongdoing but refused to appear in person to explain herself. It was too late for her to turn around. At first DaDa took the initiative and ask producer Ng Kin Hung about making LAN 3, then she suddenly retired. Th worst part was others misunderstanding the film company and her manager teamed up to bully a little girl. As for compensation the film company will handle the matter.

Sie Lim Chi was asked if DaDa apologized. She said that two nights ago a company colleague suddenly received DaDa's call, she apologized but did not say anything else; yesterday th company colleague has already lost contact with her.

Chin Kwok Wai yesterday blasted DaDa online, citing that since she was able to work on another film her health was not an issue. She was using everyone's sympathy to make her own selfish political decision! Her girlfriend Calinda Chan Yuen Wai also criticized DaDa and said that she had no idea what she was doing, turning a rivalry into a disappearance. She suggested for DaDa to be blacklisted.

Mary Jean Reimer will call Mona Fong for Negotiation

The grand master of a generation Lau Kar Leung months ago passed away from illness. His widow Mary Jane Reimer (Yung Jing Jing) and their two daughters with family, friends and disciples yesterday held a final seven ceremony in Tai Po Ling Wan Temple. They presented incense and chanted in hopes of Master Lau reaching Sukhavati soon. Yung Jing Jing personally cooked vegetarian dishes. Her daughters Man Yi and Hung Yi were hand to help.

Dressed in black Yung Jing Jing appeared to be much calmer and often smiled. She said that after the ceremony the Temple would has a spirit tablet officially for Master Lau and chant for him. His ashes later will be placed in Po Fook Hill and a spirit tablet will also be at home. Yung Jing Jing said, "Earlier when I retrieved the Master's old watch, I got sentimental and shed tears. I have to learn to control my emotions."

Speaking of the Shaw bonus progress, Yung Jing Jing quoted the Buddha. "In Buddhism you have to give before you get. If you are not willing to give, you will never get. Two nights ago I spoke with those involved and the reply was three words, 'nothing to give'. Yet this result cannot represent Madame Run Run Shaw (Mona Fong) or Mr. Shaw's comment. So far I still haven't received a call from Mrs. Shaw. I will wait awhile, ultimately I have been talking to an employee. It may not be representative." When asked if further action will be taken, Yung Jing Jing said, "Later I will personally call Fong Yat Wa to follow up, which should be done. Ultimately she is my elder." Will she give up? Yung Jing Jing described that this was for charity, she hoped to be able to perform this good deed. "Because of my launch, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw will be able to do something charitable and indirectly for Master Lau. I very much hope that they are willing."

Sin Kwok Lam supported the move. He said, "Shaw doesn't have to feel it's an old debt collection. This time is only an excuse, feeling that Master's contribution to Shaw will be able to get something started and donate a sum to repay show business. I feel what we take the society we use in the society. Shaw and Lau Kar Leung's relationship is inseparable and should support this fund." Sin Kwok Lam revealed that he was having a tombstone made that will take up 15 niches. It is still being designed. Hopefully it will display Master's film achievements and kung fu. Rose Chan Ka Wun wished for her master's master a safe journey and his kung fu and spirit will endure.
