  • ‘American Idol’ Adam Lambert to sing in China

    Adam Lambert will be the first American Idol star to hold a solo concert in China, making his debut at Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena on March 3.

    The city will be the only mainland stop for Lambert’s tour in China, in support of his new album, Trespassing. He will, however, perform in Hong Kong on March 5.
    A flamboyant entertainer noted for his powerful voice, electrifying performances and distinctive style, Lambert became a rock and pop icon all over the world after he won second prize in the eighth season of the TV show.
    “When his management first contacted us with this opportunity we were thrilled,” says Adam Wilkes, AEG’s senior vice-president of Asia Music and Touring, organizer of Lambert’s concert in China. “This is the first star from American Idol to stage a solo concert here.”
    Lambert appeared on Chinese TV screens in September when he was the first Western artist to perform on Zhejiang TV’s The Voice of China.
    Lambert has made other efforts to develop his career in the Chinese market, by engaging the local media. His Sina Weibo account has more than 190,000 followers, and his Chinese fan club is constantly active.
    “By taking the time to communicate with his Chinese fans directly, he has a fast growing number of passionate Chinese fans,” Wilkes says. “I am sure that his appeal here will increase once local fans see his high energy live in concert.”
    Lambert released his debut studio album, For Your Entertainment, in 2009, selling 198,000 copies in its first week and reached the top 10 in the music charts of several countries. Songs such as For Your Entertainment and Whataya Want from Me became international hits.
    Lambert also won a Grammy Award nomination for best male pop vocal performance in 2011.
    His second album, Trespassing was released in May, 2012. It topped the Billboard charts in both the US and Canada.
    “For this album, I wanted to evolve and explore new sounds. Having been on tour for a year, and really understanding what gets my fans both dancing and crying, I had a better idea of the type of music that I wanted to create,” Lambert said in a message to Chinese media.
    “Also, having been through the experience of becoming a public person, I know myself better as an artist. I’m more in tune with the things that I want to express and the stereotypes that I want to challenge. This album is the most vulnerable I’ve let myself get. These are my real ideas, dreams, fears and struggles – that’s what I’m singing about.”
    AEG also revealed that it will open a new arena in Dalian, in October, the third in the mainland after the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai and MasterCard Center in Beijing.
    “This combination of international standard hardware and top tier software, which is world-class music, culture and sport, allows Chinese fans to enjoy the world’s best live entertainment experiences,” says John Cappo, president and CEO of AEG China.

  • Ekin Cheng & Yoyo Mung “EY” Secretly Married in Japan

    Ekin Cheng announced on Weibo, he married girlfriend Yoyo Mung in Japan! Ekin's manager (Lam San San) confirmed the good news, she said the wedding was a complete secret, but it was a very touching. Lan San San said: "I got a surprised invitation to the wedding, we (the guests) just found out probably about a month ago. Ekin asked if we had time for dinner, then later he asked again if we had time for dinner in Tokyo? Based on Ekin's personality, we knew there was something big happening, but we didn't dare to ask him. We just booked the flight and hotel separately, so we all didn't really know where we were suppose to go. It wasn't until we got there, Ekin told us there will be bus to take us to an ancient looking restaurant. Inside, there were really pretty flowers, it was a really small scaled and simple wedding party. We had a French meal and then the newly weds made a speech of their feelings. Yoyo started crying as soon as sje started speaking. As for Ekin, you wouldn't believe it, he cried even harder and couldn't stop either. They just thanked us for coming on short notice, but we didn't know what gift to get the couple since it was so sudden. Whatever comes toind, then we'll buy and give it to them immediately! The most touching was when Ekin called Yoyo 'Ah So' (wife), then Ah Lo (Jerry Lamb) and Chan Kwong Wing called her 'Ah So'. That ended the beautiful evening." Also, Lam San San reveals: "It had been snowing in Tokyo, but once their wedding started, the snow stopped. Really have to thank God. I respect the couple's wish of keeping their private lives low-profile, after all it was a very touching wedding. The majority of the guests were very moved and teared up." In the photo Lam San San shared with the media, Ekin had a tuxedo on and Yoyo had a low cut wedding dress.On Weibo, Ekin posted a photo of two teddy bears with the letters "E" and "Y" on the bears' feet. The EY represents Ekin and Yoyo. After Ekin's Weibo announcement, his wife Yoyo replied sweetly! Good friends from the industry such as ShuQi, Bonnie Chiu, Christine Ng and many more congratulated the newly wedded! In other news, all along the media reported Yoyo was born in 1975, but according to the Japanese marriage certificate, she is actually born in 1973. Ekin will resume work on Saturday and attend a show in Macau with his "Young&Dangerous" brother Jordan Chan.
    ** RESPONSES FROM FRIENDS + EKIN'S EX-GIRLFRIENDS **
    Chin Ka Lok: He was so secretive on Weibo, Ekin had always kept his private life low-profiled. There has been so many good news lately, Jordan [and Timmy Hung] became fathers, and now Ekin's married. (How would you rate this 'Ah So' Yoyo Mung?) To able to tie up 'Chan Ho Nam', she gets 100%! We'll catch up when they get back!
    Chris Lai: I already knew about this, but I couldn't go because of filming. I know they wanted to plan a really memorable wedding. I'm very good friends with them, so I'm sad I wasn't able to go. Wait until they come back, I'll pick out a really good wedding gift for them.
    Leo Ku: My heart is so moved! Congrats to my good brother and 'Ah So'. This day has finally come! They remind of one of Ekin's songs Only Love You For Life. I listened to this song today and there's so much feel.
    Michael Tse: I'm happy for them. Tell them to hurry up and come back to HK, so we can have a wedding banquet here! (Rush them to have a baby?) Let them think about it themselves, I'm not their parents. Jordan is going to be a father soon, now he's married. It's truly double happiness!
    Bobby Au-Yeung: Wah! Finally got married, that's great, love blossomed! I know them both very well, they love to play games and do physical activity. Congrats to them!
    Jordan Chan: I just came back from Shanghai and found out about the good news. He already congratulated me for becoming father, I need to congratulate him for getting married as well.
    William So: Wish the couple together forever, I waited for this day for too long. My neck grew long from waiting so long. Ekin is basically a big kid, can Yoyo withstand him? If they have a baby too, it will be difficult to handle two kids! Children are not as important, the most important is their happiness.
    Miriam Yeung: Congrats to Ekin. He's always going to those pilgrimage holy places. I hope they get a baby soon, should have one while they're still young. The earlier, the happier.
    Ella Koon: Congrats to them, wish them together forever. I remember my first time collaborating with Yoyo. On the first day, first scene, I had to scream at her, calling her "Bat Por"!
    Joey Yung: He really loves Japan. (Save on the money gift?) Oh yeah, just in time for Lunar New Year, I can get his red envelopes. Every year, we all go to friends house to send new year greetings. I'm happy for Ekin.
    Ekin's ex-girlfriends - Gigi Leung, Maggie Siu and Maria Lai were happy for Ekin and congratulated him.
    Gigi Leung: "Congrats from the bottom of my heart. When I heard the good news, I was really happy for them. I dedicate my song Exchange Treaties (換約) to them because this song is about marriage. I wish them together forever!"
    Maggie Siu: Congratulations. I am not surprised they suddenly got married nor am I surprised they got married in Japan because Ekin had always loved Japan and this fits his low-profile personality."
    Maria Lai: He's so secretive. I think just friends within the industry knew about it. He always used to say he didn't want to get married or have children, but now he's already married. I see he changed his mind and would want children! Every individual should do this at some point in their lives in order to maintain the relationship between two people.

If not, we should get together for dinner at least." Asked when he plans to get married? He said he will copy Ekin, and announce after the fact: "After all, marriage is between two people.

Kristal said she will not respond to imaginary stories. Artists should not be divided into the so-called string actors, the most important is whether the role fits you.

  • Ageless Cherie Chung for Bulgari
    Cherie Chung appeared for ultra-luxury jeweler Bulgari. She had the relaxed grace of someone who has just cashed a nice check for her appearance fee and has a few hundred thousand dollars of emeralds and diamonds around her neck.


    Stylish and poised, she looked to be having a good time. When asked how she stayed so beautiful and fresh looking for so long (she is reported to be 52 years old) Cherie Chung said her secret was to drink lots of water, leaving out the part about having inherited the genes for a perfect bone structure for her classically proportioned face. Plus being able to take things exactly as seriously as they should be (in this case not very).


    A devilishly delightful look that a lot of men would love to have directed at them.
