TVB Celebrity News

Yesterday Roger Kwok, Kristal Tin, Priscilla Wong and Evergreen Mak attended the blessing ceremony of TVB new series Tongue Sword Courtroom. Angela Tong just gave birth to her daughter Alyssa on March 10th, Roger praised her: "good girl". When asked if he wants to be Alyssa's god-father? Roger expressed he won't, he said: "Wait until she comes back, we can talk about our baby caring experiences. (Visit her?) Not yet, she's probably really busy now. The most difficult part is taking care of a newborn. (What are you planning to buy for the baby?) I will, but I don't plan to give something too small because babies grow fast." As for the rumors that Priscilla is on bad terms with her good friend Leung Ka Kei, Priscilla denied: "She's still my woman."

Kristal Tin's husband Chapman To has bed scenes with several actresses, in his new film Mr. and Mrs. Cheater 爛滾夫鬥爛滾妻 (translated title). Kristal said: "Congrats to him. He even has one with the goddess Chrissie Chau. I told him perhaps he's a better character since more good things are coming to him now. (Supervise the set?) Why would I? I have my own series to work on. That's the beauty of being an actor though, aside from me, he can freely look at other girls, which is a rare opportunity for him in usual days. (Chrissie Chau just fell out of love, not afraid of rumors?!) Looking back at Chrissie's record, they probably don't really match. Chapman is old now!" It appeared Kristal was actually worried, she later asked reporters to visit Chapman on the set more often and "watch" him for her. In the series, Kristal plays straightforward person who offends people often. Because women are not allowed to be lawyers in the ancient times, Kristal often forces Roger Kwok's role to represents her in the courtroom. She laughed: "My role is pretty bad, similar to me. I think my fast talking was because Chapman influenced me." Kristal joked she has a lot of men liking her in the series too, so she and her husband will each enjoy their own 'peach blossom fate'.

Last night, Linda Chung, Louis Cheung, Kristal Tin and Leanne Li attended TVB series Brother's Keepers end-of-filming dinner. This is Louis' second series after Inbound Troubles, and in March he'll be participating in new costume series Food for Slaves with the original cast. He plays the 'Eighth Royal Brother' and will be shaving his head.

It was said Linda withdrew from Food for Slaves? She explained she asked TVB to take two months off half a year ago, so she can spend some time with her family and educate herself more. Although Linda didn't go to Raymond Lam's concert, she still sent him a flower basket. When speaking of rumored girlfriend Karena Ng making a high-profile appearance at his concert, it was said their relationship has is now public? Linda said: "I didn't gossip about that. They denied the rumor, but if its real, I will congratulate them. They're a matching pair."

It was rumored Kristal Tin has been jealous that Joey Meng already got a leading role in her first TVB series, but she's been with TVB for 7 years and is still only a second or third string actress. 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. Kristal said she and Joey are not on bad terms, they both know what's going on. Also, she does not believe that there's a "TVB Party" trying to boycott the "ATV Party". They are all professional artists, why would they have such mentality? She joked she's actually part of the "To Party" (referring to husband Chapman To).

Yesterday No Good Either Way cast celebrated the great success of the finale ratings of 37 points. The cast including Kristal Tin, Louis Yuen, Natalie Tong and Matt Yeung attended, but lead actor Ruco Chan was absent since he's on vacation. During the toast, Louis and Kristal jokingly made a 'libation' to the absent Ruco. Kristal discloses earlier Ruco promised if the ratings reached 36 points, he would go for a nude run, she said: "I'm his wife in the series, so I'll accompany him... but I'll just be with my phone and taking pictures, then put them all online!"

Kristal will be going on vacation after this and will return in September to start a new series, but she doesn't have plans to have children. She actually hopes to buy a home instead: "The housing prices are so high now, this responsibility, I should leave it for my husband Chapman To. He's already recovered from his illness, have to start working hard again!"

Matt Yeung denied the earlier magazine reports that he and his girlfriend went to get a 'room' while he was shooting in Cheung Chau. He explained: "At the time, I was shooting in Cheung Chau and had a day off, so I told my girlfriend to come over." He expressed he'll be having his wedding both in the US and Hong Kong. In September, he will first hold his wedding in the US, and will go according to Chinese traditions, then he'll hold his Hong Kong wedding next year.

Recently Kristal Tin and her husband Chapman To have turned benevolent. When with friends, the couple just cannot leave the Buddhism topic and does not seem like they been through a high-spirited or arrogant period. In fact, this all started from the peak of Chapman's career, but then he suddenly collapses. Since then, the two had a clear picture of their needs and their religion taught them to put the past behind them.

Kristal debuted at ATV, and has never thought people would recognize her on the streets. Also, her other half made up top fast and unconsciously became disoriented. She said: "We can just randomly go to London and spend a large sum of money; We can own a car for maybe a few months and if we don't like it, we'll just get a new one. One time, within just one period, we changed cars 4 times! Although we had a lot of money and could buy a lot, but practically, we didn't feel like we had anything. So, actually in the last few years, we didn't live a happy life."

Watching her husband turn into a disheartened hero, he didn't even listen to the words that came from the woman sleeping besides him every night. At one point, Kristal thought of leaving him, but that thought didn't last long. Chapman's career collapse from its peak, Kristal just couldn't bear to give up on their love at this time. She eventually resorted to prayers and seeing Rinpoche, in hope Chapman could smoothly get through this difficult period. Unexpectedly, during this time, Kristal had some gains, she said: "Buddhism allowed me to grow spiritually, [strengthen] my wisdom and increase the religious practices. So, I went on with it and continued to learn! My husband is the same, we grew together though this period. If there wasn't this time period, then I think we would have gone crazy!"

Yesterday Kristal Tin, Ruco Chan and Natalie Tong attended TVB new series No Good Either Way's promotional event. In the series, Kristal and Ruco play a married couple, Kristal laughed and said her role is kind-hearted and worships her husband. She said she was just being herself and placed her real life into the role. Ruco didn't say she was hard to bear, but Kristal is actually worried he won't be able to find another wife like her. Kristal reveals her husband Chapman To's condition has recovered 90% and he'll be resuming work mid-July. Tomorrow, she and her husband will be heading to the US to celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary and take two week lessons on Buddhist seclusion. Is she worried Chapman might get the '7 year itch'? She joked her husband often gets itchy on different areas, so she'll have to seal off his whole body to be able to stop his itches.

Although Ruco isn't married yet, he still felt very comfortable playing a married couple with Kristal. He joked he's also worried he can't find a wife as good as Kristal. He reveals there were unavoidable bed scenes with Kristal, but those scenes were just limited to sitting and chatting on the bed. Asked if he and rumored girlfriend Eunis Yiu are only chat-limited too? "In acting, my girlfriends are always changing, but in reality, I have a girlfriend too!"

Yesterday Kristal Tin and Ruco Chan attended the blessing ceremony for producer Amy Wong's new series (aka 'Chok Family' ). Kristal and Ruco both started out as ATV artists, but this is their first collaboration. Earlier Kristal revealed she'll be participating in this series, and fans dug up photos of Kristal and Ruco on ATV's new year's calender several years ago. That was considered their only collaboration. Kristal said back then she already felt Ruco was a shy person, and today he still hasn't changed. She reveals this time for their new series, the crew consists of a director that formally worked at ATV. She helplessly expressed: "Back then we were all put in a lot of effort into shooting the ATV series and had a pleasant collaboration, but reception wasn't too good, so I do feel regret."

In the series, Kristal and Ruco play a couple that is almost ready for marriage. Kristal laughed and said there must be kiss scenes and should have some bed scenes too. However, she won't have to report those scenes to her husband Chapman To because both are professional artists, just as long as its necessary for the series. She laughed: "I never report anything, my husband doesn't tell me when he has no pants on when shooting films. He does it because it's all required in the script."

Chapman To Man Jat was busy with the Emperor new film DIVA but two nights ago still celebrated his wife Krystal Tin Yui Nei's birthday with her friends Fiona Sit Hoi Kei, Leila Tong Ning and Stephanie Che Yuen Yuen. Their friends brought out of a photo of them together from a birthday ten years ago. Ah Tin thanked her friends with a goodbye kiss.

Although Ah Tin said that she did not need a birthday gift, Ah To still took a suitcase from the trunk of his car and said that it was suitable for her to use for work.

Speaking of DIVA, which will officially start produciton early next month, Ah Jat has already locked down Joey Yung Cho Yi and Hu Ge as the leads. As the producer he would play Joey's manager and he was looking for a female new comer. He thanked Emperor for giving him a lot of freedom in casting.

Artists Kristal Tin, Stephen Au, Kirby Lau and the rest of the cast to TVB sitcom Be Home For Dinner held an end-of-filming celebration. As Kristal spent 9 months with the cast, she felt a tad unwilling to part with them. She said though she had days off, she still had to spend the time studying the script to her new series and had no time to go on dates with her husband Chapman To. She joked: "Lately, he has been busy kissing Fiona Sit. It's pretty happy for him, but when I kiss someone else, the feeling is different. (Chapman uses his tongue?) You really ought to ask him, I think if he does does a french kiss, Fiona will bite him."

Chapman To is passionate about photography, so he helped TVB take artists photos. Besides visiting his wife Kristal Tin, he also took on another job as the photographer's assistant. Yesterday morning at 8am, Chapman posted a topless photo of Raymond Lam in a strap with a 'FUNG' tattoo. This caught the attention of many Netizens, praising that Raymond "is so fine and Chok". The photo was forwarded 5000 times. However, Chapman later quickly deleted the photo.

Rarely appearing topless, Raymond gave it all he got for the TVB artist photo. His topless photo with a strap around his neck and hands, along with the FUNG tattoo got fans screaming madly. Someone said his belly is very cute. Wong Cho Lam also had a photo posted, but was deleted by Chapman as well. Wong Cho Lam was topless as well, but was covered in a black cloth and only revealed his right side a little. Chapman later felt that he shouldn't be exposing the TVB artist photos, so he deleted the two sexy photos, but didn't delete his wife's photo.
Chapman wrote on Weibo: "While TVB artists were doing the photo shoot, Tin artist (Kristal) husband visited her and became the photographer's assistant. Really grateful of everyone at the TVB studio, you all put in all the efforts into the work, and tolerated my interruptions. Your lighting, made everyone misunderstand that my photography skills are so much better!"

Yoyo Mung and Kristal Tin have been in the entertainment circle for many years, but TVB series Only You is their first collaboration. With no past collaboration, even before the series started shooting, the two were already as compatible as ever during the costume fitting. Their friendship went thousand miles in a day. When they started shooting, the two had a common goal of playing jokes on the cast and crew, bringing laughter and pleasure for everyone.

Earlier the two met up at a seafood shop to buy goods. Already married and someone's wife, Kristal was quite skillful in her selections. The currently in love Yoyo, on the other hand, was looking up and down, left and right when trying to distinguish the different fish maws. This made Kristal laugh out loud. Then the two picked out abalone together, an experienced Kristal said: "Before I started eating as a vegetarian, I can easily cook up dishes serving 10 people with absolutely no problem. Abalone, ginseng, wings, tripes, I can do it all. My husband Chapman To is also a very good cook, but we can't eat together because we'll have disagreement, so its either him or me that cooks, otherwise there will definitely be an argument."

Yoyo's cooking skills are in the progress of improvement, she expressed that she is fortune that she has many friends, besides passing on their cooking experiences to her, they would give her a super deal on buying high quality goods, definitely a huge profit for her.

"Owe Her In The Past Life"

When speaking of their friendship that just clicked like that, Kristal laughed: "Ah Yo (Yoyo) appears like a woman on the surface, but in fact she's very much like a man! On the set, it was really dry for everyone, so we tried to make it fun! Though this is my first time working with her, but oddly we don't even need a warm up, we were already like this even before we started shooting. I probably owe her something in my past life." Yoyo said: "It wasn't that severe when we were shooting, it was later that we got more familiar. Our whole group were always very noisy on a daily basis, very happy!"

TVB new sitcom Whose Kitchen Stove Is Smoke-Free starring Kristal Tin and Stephen Au held it's costume fitting yesterday. Producer Tsui Yu On was asked if it's because Show Me The Happy(SMTH) ratings aren't doing well that you have to come to the rescue? He said: "No, already prepared to shoot this sitcom before. (Worried the ratings might affect the sitcom?) SMTH isn't bad, got 26-27 points in ratings. (It seems to be weak in class?) Society will respond to different things and will add new artists. (Will you ask Bernice Liu?) If the role matches, we will try."

In the new sitcom, Kristal plays a 'Cooking God', she laughed and said that initially the script was about Beautiful Kitchen, but then cut out the 'Beauty' when casting. She laughed: "In fact, I am a Beautiful Woman Cooking God. The upcoming new year reunion dinner, I will be making Chinese stew. (Your the shoulder of the sitcom?) Don't say it like that, we are all the shoulders (responsibility)."
