It's official, Faye Wong (王菲) and her whipper-snapper boyfriend Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒) have called it quits to the surprise of, well, absolutely no one. According to Tse, who was quoted in The Liberty Times (自由時報), their "characters simply don't match." Over the past couple years, Wong and Tse have broken up and gotten back together again several times, making a big show of each dramatic up and down in their relationship, to the delight of Hong Kong's tabloids. Things between the two seemed quite steady until recently. Barely two months ago, papers were reporting that the couple was planning a wedding for next year. That now appears unlikely, but then again, it can't be ruled out. Stay tuned for the possible teary reunion.
Variety show bad boy Jacky Wu (吳宗憲) found himself the subject of yet another tawdry story last week when the Apple Daily (蘋果日報) reported on comments he made when appearing on his friend Nono's talk show saying that he had once gone to collect rent from a tenant at one of his houses in Tienmu and the female tenant answered the door wearing only one article of see-through lingerie. Jacky, who various media has tied to several mistresses, said that at the sight of his tenant, he just turned and ran away and never dared return to the house to collect the rent.
He then went on to reveal that entertainment TV show hostess and actress Big S (大S) was with him in Japan recently to shoot a TV show and a pervert in a bookstore smeared his sperm all over her clothes. The co-hostess of Nono's show, Ai Sha (愛紗), butted in upon hearing Big S' story to say when she was in Japan someone approached her with an offer to film a porno. She turned down the offer.
MTV last weekend hosted a ceremony in Shanghai last Saturday to hand out awards with titles like "most stylish female singer from the Hong Kong, Taiwan region," which was won by Karen Mok (莫文蔚). Jordan Chan (陳小春) won the same award in the men's category. Coco Lee (李玟) raised the eyebrows of the thousands of gawkers and hundreds of cops when she showed up at the event looking like a reincarnation of Superfly, complete with afro, ankle-length leather coat and enough bling to finance Third World debt. All that was missing in her get-up was a hand-carved Nubian staff.
Actress Hsiang Li-wen (向麗雯) has seen broadcasts of her video for the new Christine Hsu song Real Feelings (真感情) restricted by the Government Information Office to after 9pm because of its suggestive sexual content. According to Next Magazine (壹週刊), in the video, the actress is portrayed in graphic footage losing her virginity. In reaction to the government's restriction, she is quoted as saying she's "ecstatic" (爽), also a euphemism for post-coital bliss.
The set of Ambush from All Sides (四面埋伏), the upcoming kung-fu movie by Zhang Yimou (張藝謀), has seen another of its cast suffer yet another injury. Zhang Ziyi (章子怡), who stars in the movie opposite Takeshi Kaneshiro (金城武), was filming a fight scene in Beijing when she smashed her left arm. After being rushed to hospital, X-rays confirmed that she hadn't broken any bones, but she has been unable to film since the accident took place on Monday. Kaneshiro, along with Andy Lau (劉德華) and Ching Siu-tung (程小東), who also star in the movie, have all been to the hospital twice each for injuries suffered on the set of the movie.
