  • Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui Fed Up With TVB
    Rumour has it that stars Raymond Lam and Kate Tsui have given up hope on TVB, after losing the coveted title at this year's TVB Anniversary Awards.
    Popular Asian reported that both Raymond and Kate allegedly voiced their opposition by refusing to work for TVB. While Raymond decided to focus on doing albums, films and mainland dramas next year, Kate Tsui reportedly will dedicate most of 2013 on filming movies.
    The rumours came about after it was revealed that the total number of Raymond's votes did not even qualify him for a second place trophy at the event that was held recently. According to reports, Raymond did not even make it into the top three while 2012 TV King, Wayne Lai reportedly won by a landslide of 110,000 votes and Kenneth Ma came in second place with approximately 30,000 votes behind Wayne.
    Similarly, Tavia won the Best Actress award with over 110,000 votes while Kate came second, also with 30,000 votes behind.
    Sources claimed that the reason for Tavia Yeung and Wayne Lai's victory is due to a struggle between TVB management executives, Catherine Tsang and Virginia Lok.
    It was rumoured that the former insisted to hold the awards in mid-December, after the broadcasts of Anniversary dramas, "Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles" and "The Confidant" that stars some of Catherine Tsang's favourites - Tavia and Wayne, allowing them to have a greater chance in winning the Best Actress and Actor awards.

  • Kenny Wee Sues Oscar Leung for Defamation

    On December 5th, Eric Tsang slapped Kenny Wee at former Miss Karmen Cheng's wedding party due to the celebrity drug use scandal at Kenny Wee's restaurant. The police later arrested Eric, but he is temporarily released on bail. "Most Improved Actor" Oscar Leung is also good friends with Eric and was one of the guests at the wedding. After the Eric slapping incident, Oscar bashed Kenny for having paranoid delusion disorder: "Eric likes to play with people, perhaps Mr. Wee is just more sensitive, he has paranoid delusion disorder. I personally don't know Kenny Wee, I just know he's Suki Tsui's husband and has been having news coming out recently. He likes to create gossip, so he can be newsworthy." Kenny felt insulted by Oscar's comments. It was understood, last week Kenny's lawyer sent out a lawyer's letter on his behalf to Oscar and his management, TVB, has already received the letter. Kenny demanded Oscar to publicly apologize to him, otherwise he will take it a step further and sue him for defamation. Yesterday Kenny responded over the phone: "I passed the case to my lawyer, not convenient for me to comment." Reporters contacted Oscar to confirm if he had received the demand letter, Oscar said: "I didn't get it. I didn't know until they told me. I'm not worried, nothing really to worry about. It's not a big deal. Perhaps TVB received it, but if so, they would have notified me. I'm not sure yet." Oscar's manager, Amy, expressed she did not receive the demand letter.
    In regards to Kenny asking Oscar to make a public apology? Oscar calmly said: "I'll see what happens then. I contacted my own lawyer about the case as well. Since he sent out a lawyer letter, I could send out my lawyer too. Hong Kong is a free society, if its a illegal to speak, then there isn't any freedom. I didn't use profanity or attack others in a derogatory manner. He thinks it's a big deal, but I don't think so. Perhaps some people think I'm speaking incoherently or arrogantly, but its their mouth, I ca! nnot stop them. It really doesn't matter." Oscar did not believe his comments were too overboard and refused to take it back. He said: "I take back the words I said, but I still said it."
    Kenny's wife Suki Tsui appeared at her first public event since Eric Tsang's arrest. When asked if she feels she's stuck in the middle? She said: "I'm ok. I will continue to do my work. There are other work to balance out." Will there be awkwardness if she sees Eric? She said: "I rarely go back to TVB, we don't bunch into each other all the time. Sometimes I do see him around, and I greet him, he's a senior." Will she help settle the issue? She said: "I don't have that ability, leave it to the professionals." She denied her public appearance rate declined due to her husband's case. She said: "I choose my jobs and I want to spend more time with my family." When asked if she's on her husband's side? She avoided: "It's not convenient for me to comment."
