“Happy Ghost” Star, Sheree Lo, Passes Away at 47 Years Old

  

Former Hong Kong actress, Sheree Lo (羅明珠), passed away on May 27, 2016 due to a sudden heart attack. She was merely 47 years old.

Previously known as Bonnie in her early career, Sheree had joined the entertainment industry when she was only 15 years old. Sheree is best remembered for her role in the popular 1980s film franchise, Happy Ghost <開心鬼>, along with In Rachel Lee (李麗珍), Sandy Lamb (林姗姗), May Lo (羅美薇), Fennie Yuen (袁潔瑩), and Charine Chan (陳 加玲). Despite their different personalities and images, the film was a hit and spawned several subsequent sequels. The popular young starlets were unanimously referred to as the “Happy Girls”.

Sheree partook in only four films since her debut before leaving the entertainment industry to pursue a college education in Canada. After graduating from college in 1993, she returned to Hong Kong and led a successful career in finance. However, Sheree’s passion for acting remained, and she returned to the big screen soon after. Despite being cast in big budget films starring alongside Andy Lau (劉德華), Simon Yam (任達華), and Stephen Chow (周星馳), Sheree only landed small guest roles.

Unable to regain her popularity in film and with a thirst for knowledge, Sheree traveled to Beijing in 2006 and spent two years taking courses to obtain a MBA in Senior Management. During a brief interview in 2012, she shared that she is still currently working in the financial industry. The Happy Ghost star was also focusing on dieting and exercising to prepare for a comeback in a web-based drama before her untimely death.

Friends in Shock

Sheree’s death came as a shock for good friend and producer Raymond Wong (黃 百鳴), who had only visited Sheree ten days ago, citing that she appeared to be in good health, was very sociable, and did not show any signs of illness. Raymond said, “The Sheree I know doesn’t smoke, drink, nor [hang out at clubs].” Asked if Sheree’s death may have been triggered by her excess dieting, Raymond said, “I’m not sure, but I know that she planned to film an Internet drama.”

Asked if Sheree had consumed weight-loss pills, good friend Leila Chow (周美鳳) said, “She mentioned taking dieting pills in the past, and I advised her to exercise instead! But Sheree told me not to worry, as she doesn’t take the pills often.”

“Happy Girls” Charine and Fennie had last seen Sheree at Raymond’s birthday party in April. Charine recalled, “I was shocked by the news of her death. She was a very cheerful and chatty person, who loved to laugh.” Fennie said, “It’s so sudden! It’s very hard to accept the news! The last time I saw her, she was very energetic and beautiful. We even agreed to meet up again next time. I don’t know what had happened! It’s a great loss! Many condolences to Sheree’s family!”

Jay Chou’s New Song Inspired by His Baby Daughter

(Taipei May 30, 2016) Jay Chou appeared at a radio interview to present his new song "Lover from the Past", in whose MV a little girl was seen playing violin and learning ballet. Jay revealed that these things were what he hoped his daughter Hathaway would do when she grew up so that she’d be elegant. Dancing was something he missed and he’d like her to dance since she was a child. His new song was inspired by some melody Hathaway played on piano, and he turned it into a song at the suggestion by his wife Hannah Quinlivan and fans. He thought it was a historical moment and a good memory. As a father, the thing Jay feared most was to change diapers especially when she pooped. Though it was tiresome to take care of a baby, they still wanted to give a brother or sister to Hathaway but did not have a schedule.

Depp Film Flops As Daughter Defends 'Loving Dad'

Johnny Depp's Alice Through The Looking Glass has flopped on its debut weekend, following domestic violence claims by the actor's wife.

The big-budget movie, directed by James Bobin, has taken just $28.1m in North American cinemas, after critics panned it as "uninspired", "hollow" and "lacklustre".

With a production cost of around $170m, the Alice in Wonderland sequel - in which Depp plays the Mad Hatter - had been expected to open with takings of around $60m.

X-Men: Apocalypse opened top of the Memorial Day weekend with an estimated $65m.

The latest X-Men instalment from 20th Century Fox is on track for takings of about $80m by Monday.

Alice's disappointing debut came as 52-year-old Depp's estranged wife was granted a restraining order against him.

Amber Heard, 30, appeared in court on Friday with a bruise on her cheek, saying Depp had thrown her mobile phone at her during a fight.

Meanwhile, Depp's teenage daughter has written of her support for her father following the domestic violence claims.

Model Lily-Rose Depp, 17, did not directly address the allegations, instead posting a childhood picture on Instagram.

She wrote: "My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he's been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same."

Depp has two children with singer Vanessa Paradis: Lily-Rose and her younger brother Jack.

'Music Bank' takes back AOA's #1 on May 27th episode, announces TWICE is actually winner

'Music Bank' has taken back AOA's #1 on the May 27th's episode.

Amid all the controversy surrounding AOA's album sales score, many had even called for 'Music Bank' to take its ranking system away. The music program had largely stayed silent, but now that the weekend is over, the music show made an announcement stating that AOA's win was a mistake and that TWICE was supposed to win.

The staff posted on their official page and wrote,

Hello, this is the 'Music Bank' staff.

We are writing to say that there was an error in calculating the ranking for the May 27th episode during the live episode. This means that TWICE was #1 for the last week of May, and AOA was #2.

Music Banks 'K-Chart' ranking is calculated by digital sales (65%) + broadcast score (20%) + viewer votes (10%) + album sales (5%). For fairness, the KBS Broadcast Research Institute that is independent of our staff calculates the score.

There was an error in calculating the album sales. For album sales, we calculate the Hanteo weekly chart as well as the Synnara Media/Hottracks weekly sales. When the BRI re-checked the numbers, they confirmed that there was an error in adding all the numbers.

We are now re-announcing the 'K-Chart' that has been checked over.

We deeply apologize for bothering the viewers who love 'Music Bank'. We will do our best to make sure nothing like this happens again.

*Because the weekly album sales changes, 1-50 were ranked again. We will later release numbers with more details later today.

Taiwanese actor-singer Jimmy Lin’s wife, model Kelly Chen gave birth to fraternal twins in December last year. Since then, the couple, who have an older son, Kimi Lin together, have been posting pictures of their lives together, revealing their picture-perfect family life.

However, 41-year-old has never revealed a full-frontal shot of the twin boys, after announcing that he’d like for his older son Kimi, to live life as a normal child. The 6-year-old first shot to fame with his appearance in the highly popular Chinese reality show, Where Are We Going, Dad?.

Cheating Rumors? Myolie Wu’s Husband Slams Tabloid Magazine for Irresponsible Reporting

  

On Thursday, a Hong Kong tabloid magazine published an “exclusive” report claiming that Myolie Wu’s (胡杏兒) husband, Philip Lee (李乘德), had secretly traveled to Taiwan with an attractive female friend, suggesting cheating rumors. Myolie was also said to have traveled to Taiwan, and paid the pair a “a sudden visit.”

 

But Philip was very quick to hit back at the tabloid for their hurtful accusations.

“This magazine decides to cut and stick together pictures of us in the hope of selling an ‘exclusive’,” said Philip in a statement he posted on Instagram, his only public social media account, “[and] this time they base their story on a ‘sweet’ trip I enjoyed with my buddy in Taipei. [But] of course they don’t disclose that a whole bunch of my good Taipei friends were also part of the trip.”

Emphasizing that his friend in question is also married, Philip continued, “Such ‘reporting’ on two people who are not only great friends but also have partners is irresponsible and unprofessional. I am more upset for my friend who has been linked into this in a derogatory way. It is NOT fair to her and I have already apologized to her and her husband profusely.”

Philip said Myolie is also good friends with the woman and had been laughing at the report.

“Thank you to this member of the HK media for reminding me that with these stories you are not here to help society,” said Philip.

Nonetheless, the businessman added that the report did not affect his friendship with the woman and he will continue to stay strong so the media will not control his life.

Myolie reposted Philip’s statement on her own social media, adding, “Please believe in love. Stop with the conspiracy theories.”

In a later phone interview, Myolie expressed, “We are all good friends. She already has a husband so do not make stories up. I believe in my husband one hundred percent.”

Background of Kingdom Yuen’s Husband Revealed

 

Despite having a prolific career in film and television, not much is known about the private life of 53-year-old Hong Kong comedian actress Kingdom Yuen (苑瓊丹). The My Dangerous Mafia Retirement Plan <火線下的江湖大佬> star may be a household name today, but it took Kingdom eight years before finally hitting it big with Stephen Chow’s (周星馳) 1991 comedy film Fight Back to School <逃學威龍>.

Yet her private life couldn’t be any more different.

Kingdom: “I Was An Abusive Wife”

Last month, Kingdom guested on a Chinese talk show and spoke about life with her husband, businessman Noel Wong (黃乃掦). She revealed that she met Noel in 2001 through mutual friends, and after three years of dating, they secretly registered for marriage in Las Vegas in July 2004. Even her parents were out of the loop about their marriage until 2009, when a tabloid magazine exposed their registration certificate online.

Kingdom was a hot-tempered wife. She and her husband fought a lot, and their fights often end up being physical. Once, Kingdom threw a clock at her husband, which left a scar under his eye. She threatened for a divorce, and while Noel eventually gave in and signed the separation papers, he secretly voided them the next day. Kingdom joked that her husband must be a masochist for staying with her. But despite her fierce temper, Noel had always been patient with her, and he never had doubts about marrying the wrong woman.

The strong-willed Kingdom then broke into tears at the mention of her late mother, who Noel took care of during the final years of her life. Kingdom said she is thankful of Noel for being there for her mother even when she herself couldn’t.

“When my mother was sick, I was shooting a drama overseas. I am very thankful for my husband, who took care of my mother until her final moments. When my husband came to pick me up at the airport after my mother’s death, he was crying. I told him, ‘I’m not even crying yet. Why are you crying?’”

Noel’s Background Check

Noel Wong, ten years Kingdom’s senior, was educated in the United States, and owns a very successful family glass business. According to reports, the Wong family owns a large store in Queen’s Road, Sheung Wan. They also have an office in Sheung Wan’s Kam Sang Building, and owns some more properties in the United States. Their company also has a factory in Mainland China. Sources say Noel’s assets are worth at least $200 billion HKD.

Aside from overlooking his family’s business, Noel has also established his own architecture firm, and has designed for the Hong Kong International Airport and HSBC. Kingdom has also dabbed into business herself, and co-owns her own salon in Jordan, Hong Kong.

Kenneth Ma: “I Can Finally Kiss Charmaine Sheh!”

  

It took three years of waiting, but Kenneth Ma (馬國明) said he has finally fulfilled his longtime wish of kissing Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼) in their latest TVB drama, Casino Heroes <賭城群英會>.

A few days ago, TVB’s streaming service myTV SUPER hosted an advanced screening event for their first original program A Time of Love 2 <愛情來的時候2>. The short film series stars an ensemble cast featuring Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼), Kenneth Ma (馬國明), Priscilla Wong (黃翠如), Pakho Chau (周柏豪), and Raymond Wong (黃浩然).

A Time of Love 2 features two short films. The first of the two will follow Charmaine, Kenneth, and their love story in Germany. The second and final film follows Priscilla, Pakho, and Raymond in Taiwan.

Charmaine said she is excited for the film’s premiere and hopes the ratings for the short film will do well for myTV SUPER.

“The movie was pretty difficult to shoot,” shared Charmaine. “We were in a tight schedule, but everything was worth it in the end. Germany has such beautiful scenery! It was like a painting!”

Charmaine also got the opportunity to show off some of her German skills in A Time of Love 2. “I haven’t spoken it in many years. I had to get an instructor to help me out.”

Both Charmaine and Kenneth also played a couple in 2014’s A Time of Love <愛情來的時候>, which they shot over three years ago. However, they did not kiss; they didn’t get to kiss for A Time of Love 2, either. “I guess it wasn’t required for the story,” said Charmaine.

But the two frequent collaborators will finally get the chance to snuggle closer for TVB’s collaboration with Wong Jing (王晶), Casino Heroes. “We’re shooting Casino Heroes now, and I think it says we’re going to kiss in the script,” said Kenneth excitedly. “I can finally kiss Charmaine Sheh! Don’t say I can’t anymore!”

Kenneth, who is close friends with Natalie Tong (唐詩詠), was asked if he had heard about the rumor that Tony Hung (洪永城) has already proposed to Natalie. He said he isn’t sure. “Natalie hasn’t told me anything about it. Maybe she doesn’t want to tell me before she says yes!” (What are your thoughts about this?) “As long as she likes him and trusts him.” (Do you think Tony Hung is a trustworthy person?) “We are not very close, but I trust Natalie.”

Super Junior’s Kangin Gets into Hit-and-run While Drunk Driving

Super Junior’s Kangin is under investigation for driving while drunk and getting into a car accident, but not remaining at the scene of the crash.

Super Junior Kangin is currently under investigation for being responsible for a car accident while under the influence of alcohol.

The Seoul Gangnam police department stated that Kangin crashed into a streetlight located in front of a convenience store located at Sinsadong, Gangnam. Kangin was not present at the scene when the police arrived but were able to discern that Kangin was responsible for the accident from witness statements. Kangin, when questioned by the police, stated, “I remember hitting something but I didn’t know it was a street light.”

His alcohol level was at a 0.05% when the police tested him, enough under Korean law for a suspension of driving license.

The police stated, “We suspect that when we take into consideration the Widmark formula, his alcohol level at the time would have been much higher.  We are also investigating the possibility that he ran from the scene on purpose after the incident.”

Amber Heard Filed for Divorce Two Days after Johnny Depp's Mother Died

Betty Sue Palmer, 81, passed away on Friday (20.05.16) in Los Angeles after a long illness, according to Entertainment Tonight and it was previously revealed that Johnny and Amber wed during a civil ceremony at their home in Los Angeles before their 2015 marriage in the Bahamas as Betty was too frail to travel at the time. 

A source previously said: "She is too frail to travel, so he and Amber got married in LA for her. Johnny convinced Amber to have a small ceremony at their LA home."

Johnny was so close to his mother that he had a tattoo of her name inside a heart on his left arm and bought her a $1 million 43-acre Kentucky farm in 1995.

Meanwhile, Johnny often spoke about his mother in interviews and her advice to him on how to stand up to bullies.

He said: "She'd come from nothing but hillbillies and she said, 'OK, here's the deal. Next time anybody puts their hands on you, pick up a brick and lay them out'. And I've taken that advice ever since."

And he also opened up about her difficult upbringing, saying: "My mother was raised in a shack, in the wilds of Appalachia, where the toilet was an outhouse. She used to say she did the same things that her mom did - and her mom certainly didn't know any better. With my kids, they're told 75 times a day that they're loved. One thing I know is they feel loved and secure and happy and needed and necessary and a part of something."

Angelina Jolie Appointed Visiting LSE Professor

Angelina Jolie will join the London School of Economics (LSE) as a visiting professor, the university has announced.

The Hollywood star will be joining former foreign secretary Lord Hague in teaching on a new masters course on women, peace and security.

In a statement she said: "It is vital that we broaden the discussion on how to advance women's rights and end impunity for crimes that disproportionately affect women, such as sexual violence in conflict.

"I am looking forward to teaching and to learning from the students, as well as to sharing my own experiences of working alongside governments and the United Nations."

The masters course starts next year and will be run by the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security.

Jolie is a special envoy for the UN refugee agency and co-chaired a global summit on sexual violence in 2014 alongside Lord Hague.

In 2011 she directed "In the Land of Blood and Honey" which focussed on the Bosnian war, in which an estimated 20,000 women were believed to have been raped.  

The LSE says visiting professors are responsible for delivering guest lectures to students, participating in workshops and public events, and undertaking their own work.

The Oscar-winning actress and the former Conservative party leader have worked in partnership to raise awareness and campaign to end sexual violence against women in conflict.

They co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative in 2012 to encourage states to do more to bring the perpetrators of sexual violence to justice.

The pair will take up their new roles alongside Jane Connors, director of international advocacy at Amnesty International Geneva, and Madeleine Rees, secretary general of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.

Actors You May Not Recognize in Their Minor Roles Before Stardom

Believe it or not, many of the popular actors that you know and love dearly weren't so popular or even known back in the day.

Your favorites like Song Joong Ki and Lee Min Ho all started out from humble beginnings, starting out with minor, smaller, supporting roles for the small screen. Not every role these guys took on was successful; there was bound to be failure along the way. Unless you're a big fan of the actor, you may not even recognize some of these 'obscure' roles!

But you already know the deal--their hard work and talent eventually paid off and these actors moved onto bigger and better things, making their grand breakthrough with memorable, impressive characters that we will all love for a long time!

Take a look at some of these actors who climbed their way up from the very bottom to the very top! 

 

Song Joong Ki

Before he was in 'Descendants of the Sun' and other breakthrough roles, Song Joong Ki had tried to make a name of himself as an extra in dramas like 'Get Karl! Oh Soo-jung.' In 'Get Karl!' Song Joong Ki only appeared briefly as a reporter. Then he became more widely known through 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal,' making all the ladies' hearts flutter as the handsome scholar Goo Yong Ha! 

Park Seo Joon

This flower boy (man?) started his acting career in Bang Yong Guk's MV for "I Remember". Since then, he turned popular as one of the main characters for 'Dream High 2' and his recent breakthrough as the slightly apathetic Chief Editor of 'The Most' on 'She Was Pretty.' 

Kim Soo Hyun

Remember the chic, cold alien Do Min Joon on 'You Who Came From the Stars'? Of course you do! It was probably Kim Soo Hyun's biggest role in his over decade long career. But before Do Min Joon, there was the Kim Soo Hyun of 'Kimchi Cheese Smile'...and a couple of roles in musical theater.  

Lee Min Ho

Lee Min Ho had begun with a very insignificant role in coming-of-age drama called 'Sharp.' He wasn't recognized until his leading character in 'Boys Over Flowers' as the petulant, immature Goo Jun Pyo. I guess girls really like those types?

Seo Kang Jun

Seo Kang Jun only cameoed in dramas such as 'To the Beautiful You' before he started taking on lead roles. His popularity started gaining traction with notable roles as the tormented Baek In Ho in 'Cheese In the Trap,' and as Gook Seung Hyun in 'Cunning Single Lady.' 

 

Lee Jong Suk

 

Before you knew Lee Jong Suk through his roles in 'Secret Garden' and 'I Can Hear Your Voice,' you might have seen him in 'Prosecutor Princess.'  He doesn't have a big role in that one, just a worker at the prosecution office, but he hit it big pretty soon after!
