Jay Chou Makes Commercials for WildAid

Jay Chou was invited to make 4 promotional films for WildAid and provide the voice-over in English for the English version. Jay said he would consult his wife Hannah Quinlivan prior to the filming. According to the Apple Daily, Jay was the highest-earning singer in 2016. Jay said happily, "I’m surprised by these scary figures. I need to ask my mother about it." However, his mother would usually say, "How is it possible? Never trust the newspapers." And his plan for buying another car was stopped. Jay had posted a painting on his Facebook on Father’s Day, and the fans discovered a fetus’ ultrasound image was concealed in the painting. When asked if he had another baby coming, Jay said smilingly, "No. Why would I post an ultrasound image online? I’m not a fool."

Sir Cliff Richard's sex abuse case is being reviewed

Sir Cliff Richard's sex abuse case is being reviewed after one of his accusers challenged the decision not to prosecute him.

The 75-year-old star has just started to rebuild his life after his historic molestation case was thrown out two months ago when the court felt there was "insufficient evidence" to charge him, but he's now set to face fresh anguish after the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed the case is being revisited.

A spokesman for the CPS told the MailOnline: "We have received a Victims' Right to Review request.

"That is happening at the moment. The request was received at the beginning of August."

The 'We Don't Talk Anymore' hitmaker was reportedly told of the challenge just before the death of his beloved sister Donna Goulden - who along with his other siblings Joan and Jacqui supported him throughout the investigation - earlier this month following a long battle with an illness.

Cliff's life was turned upside in 2014 when police stormed his house in Sunningdale, Berkshire, after four men claimed they were victims of sex abuse between 1958 and 1983.

The legendary singer has always denied the allegations but the lengthy investigation went on for 22 months.

However, it took prosecutors just one month to consider the allegations before rejecting them in June this year.

Upon hearing the outcome, Cliff said he was "obviously thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close."

But he admitted the fact he was named in the media, despite not being arrested or charged, meant he had been "hung out like live bait" and he doesn't think his career will ever the the same again as a result of the allegations.

Eason Chan Promotes Tennis

When attending the promotional event as the ambassador for tennis, Eason Chan revealed that he had started to learn tennis at the age of 7 to make himself "look cool", and now he would occasionally play it with Eric Kwok and Edmond Leung. His daughter was interested in tennis, though he would not teach her by himself but perhaps would practice with her. It was reported that he recommended the specialist who had done his father's liver transplant to his friend Conroy Chan, but Eason denied the reports. He had not visited Conroy for quite a while and did not know about Conroy’s latest condition. When asked if he takes care of his own health, Eason said he's careful with his diet and avoids hot and spicy food. He had done some examinations and fortunately everything was OK.

Sting says 'immortal' David Bowie is inspired his LP

Sting's new album is inspired by David Bowie.

The 64-year-old musician says the "immortal" 'Space Oddity' hitmaker - who tragically died in January at the age of 69 from cancer - had a big impact on his LP, '57th and 9th'.

And the 'Shape of My Heart' hitmaker has also cited the deaths of other stars such as Prince and Alan Rickman as inspirations.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the former 'Police' frontman said: "David Bowie went first, and then Lemmy [Kilmister], and then my friend Alan Rickman died, and then Prince. It all seemed to topple on top of each other. It was a strange time because you think that these people are immortal, but then suddenly they're like the rest of us, they die.

"It intrigues me that great success is this brilliant light, but also every brilliant light creates a dark shadow. I think wisdom only comes when you can navigate both. I'm getting philosophical."

The 'Englishman in New York' singer - whose real name is Gordon Sumner - also said that he found inspiration for his new album through living and working in New York City.

The title from his album comes from the name of the intersection he passed every day on his way to and from his recording studio in the city.

Speaking of New York, he said: "I do a lot of my thinking on the move and it's an inspiring city to be in. Pedestrians, the traffic, the noise, the architecture -- the scale of New York is very stimulating for the mind. The walk is very much a part of the process."

But the 'Roxanne' hitmaker doesn't just stop there when it comes to getting inspired to write an album.

He revealed he is "concerned" about the world, and that the "anxiety" he feels drives him to think about what he can do.

He said: "I read a lot, I go to movies. I read the papers, I'm kind of concerned about the world. If you sit at home, you get anxious, but that anxiety is a sort of engine for you. It makes you think, 'Okay, what am I going to do?' The first single ['I Can't Stop Thinking About You'] is about looking at a blank, white sheet of paper and seeing what looks like a field of snow with no clues as to what's underneath."

Luhan’s company denies allegations of astronomical appearance fees

Chinese singer-actor Luhan has now been implicated in a brewing controversy over the astronomical appearance fees commanded by certain actors.

Previously, the main lead of Ruyi’s Royal Love In The Palace, Wallace Huo, as well as A-list actresses Angelababy and Fan Bingbing were named in the original reports.

Following that, the host of Chinese educational programme Lecture Room, Zhang Hongjie, revealed during his show that his friends in the entertainment industry had revealed Luhan’s appearance fees in his upcoming historical drama during a dinner gathering.

The host then went on to allege that the 26-year-old was paid RMB$120 million (approximately S$24.5 million) for his role in the historical drama.

Luhan’s name was then drawn into the controversy surrounding the top actors who had requested abnormally high fees for their drama appearances, with his company speaking up for him shortly after.

The singer-actor’s studio reposted the news on their Weibo account yesterday, adding on a simple, “[We have] no tolerance towards rumours. If this cannot be dealt with wisely, legal action will be taken!”

Maze Runner: The Death Cure to resume production in February 2017

'Maze Runner: The Death Cure' will resume production in February.

Filming was halted after star Dylan O'Brien was dragged under a vehicle in March whilst shooting scenes for the next instalment of the franchise and its scheduled release was pushed back from February 2017 to January 2018.

However, Deadline reports that filming will begin again next year after crew and cast schedules were worked out.

The location of the shoot has also been moved but the new setting has not yet been revealed.

Dylan's accident took place in Vancouver, Canada, when he fell from the roof of a moving vehicle that he was strapped and fractured either his cheekbone or orbital socket.

A report from WorkSafeBC described his injuries as including a "concussion, facial fracture and lacerations".

Director Wes Ball initially reassured fans that the actor would be "fine" to return to work after a few weeks of rest.

In a handwritten note shared on Twitter, he wrote: "It's scary seeing your friend get hurt, but fortunately, Dylan is going to be just fine. After a few weeks of rest and recovery he'll be back up and running to finish our adventure together."

However, Dylan's injuries were more serious than they anticipated and his publicist Jennifer Allen released a statement in April saying he needed "more time" to recover.
She said: "His injuries are very serious, and he needs more time to recover."

A statement from movie studio Fox at the time read: "The resumption of principal photography on 'Maze Runner: The Death Cure' has been further delayed to allow Dylan O'Brien more time to fully recover from his injuries. We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible."

"Cape No. 7" the Musical

"Cape No. 7" will be played again, but this time it will be on the stage as a musical directed by Amon Miyamoto and Tesheng Wei in Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival in 2017.

Lin. It would be the first time for Chie to appear in a musical, but she feared that her voice might ruin it and sometimes she’d collapsed by the pressure when practicing the songs. Thanks to director Miyamoto who told her that "practice makes perfect", she was relieved of some pressure.

Mel C: 'I'll never take part in another Spice Girls reunion'

Mel C says she will never take part in another Spice Girls reunion.

Although Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner are planning a concert and new material to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut single 'Wannabe', Mel C and Victoria Beckham have refused to take part and Mel C believes the performance at the Olympics in 2012 should be the Spice Girls' final one.

In an essay for LOVE magazine, she wrote: "Truth be told, earlier this year after several face-to-face meetings with the girls I made the difficult decision not to be part of a proposed reunion with Emma, Geri and Melanie. Victoria had already bowed out understandably with the demands of her fashion label and her rather large family.

"The hardest part for me was letting people down, the girls, the fans, civilisation?! Unfortunately something didn't feel quite right and I had to follow my gut.

"I'd love to play huge arenas across the World, sing our brilliantly bonkers pop songs and relive our former glory. It is of course a very lucrative opportunity too. But we were a five-piece band. Didn't we reach a peak with the Olympics? There's a lot to be said for bowing out on a high note.

"For me the absolute pinnacle of my Spice existence was being watched by a billion people around the globe belting out 'Spice up Your Life' on top of a black cab at the 2012 London Olympics. Anything less than the full line-up just didn't feel like we'd be doing justice to the band or the fans."

And Mel wishes the Spice Girls could simply be remembered for what they have achieved, rather than people wishing for them to reunite.

She explained: "The fascination with the band never seems to go away. It's a blessing and a curse all at the same time. Daily I'm asked 'are the girls getting back together?' Then it's When? How? Why?

"When we reunited in 2007 the questions stopped momentarily. We had done it - the fans were happy and we were happy. But the minute that tour ended it started again.

"Look, I will be a Spice Girl until I die. But the continuous speculation on whether we will reform to celebrate 20 years of 'Wannabe' has been particularly exhausting.  Don't get me wrong - I totally get it. But is it a new rule that bands have to reform? Why can't we just be remembered for our incredible achievements in the nineties?"

Michael Jackson bleached his skin to 'erase his memory' of his alleged abusive father

Michael Jackson bleached his skin to "erase his memory" of his alleged abusive father, according to the physician Doctor Conrad Murray.

The late 'Thriller' hitmaker, who lightened his skin and underwent a number of face reconstructions in a bid to look like a "northern athlete", is believed to have undergone the transformations to try to escape the traumatic recollections of his childhood and the constant reminders of Joe Jackson, who tormented him for his African American facial features, and to distance himself from his parentage.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz about the reason behind Michael's cosmetic surgery, Conrad said: "In the book we talked about him running away from his memory. I used the word morphological changing and basically of course he was morphing himself, it doesn't matter that his skin was bleached or whether his structural face is good or whether his nose it like a northern athlete. That may have been a mixture of things.

"But many times when he on his own he had more because he was trying to erase his memory."

However, the music legend couldn't escape his own thoughts and even contemplated undergoing a brain operation to be at peace with himself.

He explained: "But he could not erase his memory so that's when he talked to me about the brain operation."

Despite his various procedures Conrad has revealed Michael didn't change his appearance to look like a "white man" because he spoke in "black language", but to distance himself .

Conrad - who has penned a book about the star called 'This Is It! The Secret lives of Dr. Conrad Murray and Michael Jackson', which is available to buy now - explained: "As I've explained in my book. I explained the KJA, the Klein Jackson Arsenal, and Michael is fascinating and about medicine and he knows everything, he's written it out, he has it. We went through the things together.

"But I also described in the book that I don't think he had a desire to be a white man. He never disclosed that to me because he always spoke in black language like that. The book will describe the whole process.

"But at the same time, was he trying to separate himself and be so far from his own Jackson clan? Or for the topic appearance? His skin was light his children were white.

He was creating a world that was totally different but then I'm not white, but he loved me so deeply because he cared about me but he also watched me. He said: 'You know I've been watching you for a long time'. I didn't like that, you know, why are you watching me? And then he said, 'I have been watching you for a long time and I am convinced you are the one, when my children are sick they call you Dr. Conrad. They ask for Dr Conrad. 'They know, I know, we know, we love you. We want you to be with us.'"

Meanwhile Conrad - who was sentenced to four years in jail, although he served two, for the involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop after administering a fatal dose of anesthetic Propofol in June 2009 - has admitted if he could back track on his life, he wouldn't want to cross paths with the artist.

He explained: "It was a tremendous relationship for all I have been through. If someone were to show me the future and all of this hadn't happened yet. I would not want to meet Michael Jackson."

Additionally, Peter revealed that he had invited a number of his celebrity pals to attend his wedding, but declined to reveal the exact guest list, citing that many of them have ongoing work commitments too.

Kanye West gets 'free reign' at VMAs

Kanye West has been given "free reign" to do what he wants at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

The 'Stronger' rapper is due to appear at the ceremony on Sunday (28.08.16) and show producers, who are expecting "something big", have reportedly allocated him a four-minute performance slot.

However, sources told TMZ he has been told he can do what he wants, whether that is rap, sing, dance or even just stay silent - and he has so far not revealed what he has in store for the audience at New York's Madison Square Garden.

It had been speculated he will perform with Taylor Swift, ending their feud which was reignited earlier this year when he referenced her as "that b***h" in his song 'Famous', but sources close to the 'Shake It Off' singer - who has slammed claims from Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian West that she approved the song - insisted she has no plans to attend.

At last year's ceremony, Kanye picked up the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and gave an 11-minute long speech.

He had been introduced by Taylor, who alluded to the infamous moment in 2009 when the rapper interrupted her acceptance speech at the VMAs.

She said: "Kanye defines what it is to be a creative force in music, fashion and life, so to all the other winners tonight, I'm really happy for you, but I'm gonna let you finish..."

Accepting his prize, Kanye said: "First of all, thank you, Taylor, for being so gracious. I often think back to the first day I met you also... If I had a daughter at that time, would I have grabbed that mic from someone else?"

The 'All Day' rapper ended his speech with a shock announcement that he has decided to run for president in 2020.

Janice is grateful for the opportunity given by Flipside and be able to work with both Hangi and Lya Ng. Janice added “I would like to thank my producer, Hangi for the awesome arrangement and composition, and Lya for writing the lyrics.”

In a bid to groom local talents and provide opportunities and platform for them to further grow their music, Flipside Productions and Marketing is currently working with a few talented emerging artistes.

Hangi is a multi-talented musician from Iran; he is a producer, arranger, composer, song writer and sound engineer.

Linda Chung reported to have given birth to a baby girl

TVB actress Linda Chung has reportedly given birth to her first child in Vancouver, Canada.

The 32-year-old tied the knot with her boyfriend, chiropractor Jeremy in a small ceremony late last year, held a wedding banquet in February and announced her pregnancy in May this year. In recent days, it has been rumoured that the actress has long given birth, though Linda has never confirmed or denied the news.

Yesterday, new reports stated that the actress has already given birth at B.C Women’s Hospital & Health Centre in Vancouver, which is a 10 minute drive away from her house. It was also reported that Jeremy is officially on paternity leave to be with Linda. While the gender of Linda’s baby was not specified, it was previously said that Linda is expecting a baby girl.

When the media questioned Linda’s close friends in Hong Kong, they all remained tight-lipped. Taiwanese actress Christine Kuo maintained that she did not know anything, while Canadian TVB actress Eliza Sam answered in English, “I don’t know if it is true or not ah”. Chinese actress-host Leanne Li, who showed up at a promotional event recently, would only say that they had talked in a group chat last week, but they did not mention anything related to the baby.

Additionally, Linda’s ex-boyfriend Hong Kong actor Philip Ng, whom she dated for eight years prior to marrying Jeremy, also shared that he had no idea whether Linda had given birth.

The 38-year-old, who appeared at a promotional event yesterday, said, “If it’s true, then [I offer my] heartiest congratulations to her. God bless her and her whole family. It’s a joyous thing to have a baby in the family.”

Philip also revealed that he would wait for Linda to contact him of her own accord after getting her rest, before asking after her.

The actor then shared that he has always remained in contact with Linda, and that she had texted him when he went over to Canada for filming. The actress had asked if he was indeed in Vancouver, but their conversation had stopped after the perfunctory greetings.

Katy Perry's trouble in the studio

Katy Perry is having a "really hard time" writing sexy songs.

The 'Dark Horse' hitmaker admits she is taking her time in the studio because she likes to write about her own experiences or give her own perspective on a situation she sees.

She said: "Last night I was in the studio and I'm just deep in the writing process. For me, it takes a bit of time to [to write] because I have to have those experiences and then write about them. Or I have to digest whatever I'm seeing or perceiving and recycle it and kind of give my perspective on it.

"You know it's funny, I think I have a really hard time writing super sexy songs. The other day I was like, 'I'm going to write a song about sex!' I did it, and I think it's really great, because I still have sex and I like to write about all my life experiences! But I think I was put on this earth to life people up and elevate people and do that through my messages, quite frankly."

The 31-year-old singer also revealed she is working with "unexpected writers and producers".

Speaking on 'Elvis Duran and the Morning Show', she added: "I'm working with a lot of unexpected writers and producers and maybe people that you wouldn't expect to pair me with. That's bringing out a lot of different things sonically, but that's kind of always been my vibe.

"Even when I was working with some of the regular producers, I'd always push them to play me a beat that was reserved for Three 6 Mafia or ... something left of centre and I'd be like, 'No, no, no I know exactly how to write a lyric over that!'"

The 'Make Me' hitmaker was enjoying the beautiful sea in Hawaii when she found herself unable to breathe after being dragged under huge "six-foot waves".

Recalling the scary event, she said: "I went out and I thought it was like a wave pool, and I was like, 'This is so nice and refreshing and just ­beautiful.'

"But the thing I didn't think about is when you come back, the waves really come in hard. I got sucked under for like five minutes. I almost drowned. And I'm like, 'Where is my security? They're just going to let me die here.' And then I came in again and another wave took me under."

In her interview with Scott Mills for his BBC Radio 1 show, the 34-year-old singer also opened up about the music industry, admitting there are a lot of "divas" in the business.

Speaking in an interview, which will air on Wednesday (24.08.16), she added: "A lot of the people in the entertainment business, if you try to work with them or set up projects, a lot of times people just don't show up. A lot of people are divas in this industry. It's hard."

Meanwhile, Britney - who has Sean, 10, and Jayden, nine, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - previously revealed her new album 'Glory' is "very chill".

She shared: "It's very exciting. I've been working on this project for a year and a half now, almost two years so it really means a lot to me. It's my baby. It's a little melodic, a little more not so poppy.

"It's kind of chill. Very chill. I'm old school. I like classic rock. I like the Rolling Stones. The Lumineers are really cool. Sade is nice. I like 80s music, too."

Fan Bingbing: I’ve met my Prince Charming

12-year-old Fan Bingbing was so mesmerised by the beautiful and doll-like Angela Pan in Taiwanese series, The Empress of the Dynasty, she grew up dreaming of becoming a bright star, just like Angela.

Bingbing worked towards her starry dreams and made her showbiz debut at the age of 16. She created a buzz after playing the character Jinsuo in 1997’s My Fair Princess, but little did anyone know that Princess Ziwei’s (as portrayed by Ruby Lin) maid would one day become the A-lister that she now is.

While her career flourished, she had yet to find her happily ever after. Once, at promotional event for her 2011 movie Buddha Mountain, she even declared, “I’ve never thought of marrying into a rich family, because I myself am a prized catch.”

She explained, “It doesn’t matter whether or not I marry into a rich family, because the person I’m marrying is what’s important. He needs to be able to make me feel warm inside; at the same time, I’m looking for someone who can love me passionately.”

Underneath Bingbing’s tough-as-nails exterior lies a dreamer, who believes that Prince Charming exists. She even describes her ideal type as “the kind of person you read about in fairytales. Apart from being tall and handsome, he’ll pay special attention to you.”

Thankfully, she didn’t have to wait long for Mr. Right—her boyfriend, Li Chen—to appear in her life while working on blockbuster TV series, The Empress of China.

While the pair have crossed paths multiple times after being in the same agency for over a decade, it was only after working on the project together that she got to know him on a personal level. She asked for his number—on the pretext of being the producer of the drama and the rest, as they say, is history. The couple went public with their relationship after dating for six months. Going against the norm, they used their own special method of sharing the news with the people around them: last May, Li Chen updated his Weibo account with a picture of the both of them with a short quote, “Us”. Bingbing reposted it with the same quote, confirming their relationship. After going public, the pair did not shy away from the spotlight and Bingbing has gone as far as declaring on Here Comes Kang Xi that “he’ll be my last boyfriend.” Recently revealed as OSIM uLove’s ambassador, Bingbing shared at the press conference, “I’ve been around in the industry for quite some time and many fans have supported me since I was 16 or 17. “They’ve given me a lot of support both in my life and my career and they have also come to realise that I’m not just a delicate flower – I have some strong characteristics too. I’m someone who has both strong and weak moments.”

While this beautiful, independent woman may have found her Prince Charming, she hasn’t stopped striving to further her career, with her daily schedule packed from day to night. As a self-professed homebody, Bingbing enjoys relaxing at home with a mask on during her off-days and plays with her doll collection from time to time. But what she likes best is watching a movie while relaxing on a massage chair with a cup of honey water.

With its streamlined design and luxurious finishing that’s designed like a first-class plane seat, the OSIM uLove allows Bingbing to enjoy professional massages from the comfort of her home. No matter how tired she gets from a day’s work, there will always be an inviting place to unwind when she gets home, helping her to relieve stress and get a good night's rest.

Chris Hemsworth surprises kids at hospital as Thor

Chris Hemsworth visited a children's hospital in Brisbane on Tuesday (23.08.16) dressed as Thor.

The 33-year-old actor - who will reprise his role as the Marvel superhero in 'Thor: Ragnarok' - was inspired after he surprised ailing youngsters at the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia.

Alongside a picture of himself and his co-star Tom Hiddleston - who plays Loki in the forthcoming film - he wrote: "Met the real superheroes of the world at @ladycilentochildrenshospital. A huge shout out to all the brave kids who are an inspiration to all of us! @twhiddleston #madepossiblebychf #ladycilentochildrenshospital #juicedtv (sic)"

One of the patients got to interview the pair for Juiced TV, a television show made for kids in hospital.

11-year-old Koen Weir asked Chris: "What is it like getting to be a superhero or supervillain?"

And the hunky star replied: "Well it's very cool, especially when I face with this supervillain.

"He's very mischevious and he's got lots of tricks up his sleeve so you've got to watch him. He's a bit shifty."

Tom Hiddleston - who was fully dressed in his all black Loki ensemble with long black hair - described meeting the youngsters as "unforgettable" and shared a quote from the movie.

Alongside a picture of himself and Chris with two patients with massive smiles on their faces, he wrote: "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor!" (i.e. everyone but the weirdo in the black suit). Unforgettable meeting all the children @ladycilentochildrenshospital. They're the real heroes. #madepossiblebychf #juicedtv #ladycilentochildrenshospital (sic)"

Last month, Tom, 35, visited the same hospital with his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

A post on the medical facility's Facebook page read at the time: "Thank you Taylor Swift for dropping by the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital this afternoon to give our patients and families a special surprise they'll never forget. They'll never 'shake off' the memories you made tonight."

Ciara and Russell Wilson cancelled wedding twice

Ciara and Russell Wilson cancelled their wedding twice.

The couple exchanged vows in the English countryside at the beginning of June but were initially planning to get hitched in North Carolina but decided to ditch that idea when the controversial 'bathroom bill' - a new law which forces people to use the restroom that corresponds with the gender listed on their birth certificate - was brought in there.

The couple's wedding planner Mindy Weiss explained: "They were first getting married in North Carolina, but they called it off due to the transgender bathroom laws."

The duo then set their hearts on tying the knot in Paris, France, but had no choice but to abandon that idea after they realised it clashed with Paris Fashion Week.

Ms. Weiss told TheKnotNews.com: "They were gonna go to Paris and it ended up being [Couture] Fashion Week. And it was really difficult. We ended up in London.
"They wanted to be away. And we found a castle that was an hour out of Liverpool and they had about 110 guests."

The couple - who first began dating in early 2015 - eventually exchanged vows in Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, North West England, but they were still plagued with bad luck as Ciara's glamorous wedding dress wouldn't fit into the beautiful building's chapel due to the hefty train.

Ms. Weiss explained: "Inside the castle, they had a chapel but it was too small because her dress was 13-feet.

"Her dress in person was so much more spectacular than in the pictures, though in the pictures, they're beautiful. In person, it was shockingly beautiful."

Meanwhile, the pair - who abstained from having sex until after they were married - are now keen to start a family.

Ciara, 30, already has two-year-old son Future Jr. with her ex-fiancé, rapper Future.

Tony Leung stars in Mayday’s latest music video

Taiwanese rock band Mayday recently released the music video for their song ‘Tough’, which stars Hong Kong actor Tony Leung.

The seven-minute-long video also co-stars actress Lin Mei-hsiu, actor-director Luo Bei An, actress Vivian Sung and model-actor Chris Wu. With outdoor sets and special effects that rivals that of a movie, the music video was said to cost NT$10 million (approximately S$424 000).

In the music video, Tony plays a retired research engineer who specialised in space exploration. However, he was unable to realise his dream of creating a space rocket. Thus, Tony’s character took on a number of odd jobs, from a construction worker to a dishwasher, to earn money and build his rocket.

In one of the scenes, Tony stepped up to shoulder cement bags that weighed up to 8kg under the hot sun, even walking back and forth as they filmed. In order to achieve an even more realistic look, the 54-year-old also slathered on mud from the ground. The actor also lightened the mood by joking that his look “was not something that special effects makeup could achieve”.

Tony also flew to Taiwan for three days for the video, with filming lasting up to eight hours every day. However, the veteran actor never complained of tiredness, and even personally fanned the child actor who had to wear a bulky space suit during filming.
Tony also revealed that he “has always admired Mayday, even though I have never worked with them before”.

Scott Eastwood's dating struggle

Scott Eastwood finds it hard to date after he lost a girlfriend in a car accident.

The 'Suicide Squad' actor admits he has struggled to be in a relationship for the last few years after a former partner tragically passed away in a road traffic accident.

He recalled: "I dated a girl a couple of years ago who died in a car accident. The f***ed up thing is, it was a fender bender, and there was a recall on airbags. Her airbag exploded. It shot a projectile through her body. It split her spine, and ... I've never told anybody that.

"I've lost friends before; I've lost some great friends. But, I had never lost someone I had been really intimate with. Maybe it's made it harder for me to date."

And the 30-year-old actor admits he now understands how fleeting love can be.
He added to Australia's GQ magazine: "It's easy to fall in love when you're young, right?

"And then you start to realise those feelings of love and stuff, passion, love, lust, sometimes they come very quickly, but they can also leave quickly."

Meanwhile, Scott previously admitted he would give up his acting career for 'The One'.

Asked if he'd give up his job for the love of his life, he said: "Yes I would. I think that's the ultimate sacrifice and if I couldn't see my life without her then of course. She would have to be 'The One' though."

And Scott wouldn't hesitate to let his father Clint set him up with someone.

He shared: "When I was 16 he was rooting for me and this older girl. He wanted me to make it happen and it did. He was so happy. Would I trust him to pick me a girl? Yes sure. I absolutely would."

Jodie Foster's directing advice for Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart was given directing advice by Jodie Foster.

The 'Twilight' star is set to step behind the camera for the first time to direct a short film about the power of women and has revealed the 'Money Monster' filmmaker helped ease her nerves.

She told HELLO! magazine: "I've never thought there was a huge divide between acting and directing. Jodie Foster said something very helpful when I told her I was going to make this movie - she said, 'The first thing you're going to learn is that you don't have much to learn - you're totally ready already.' That was an incredible thing to hear coming out of that particular mouth."

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old actress previously admitted she is taking a break from acting after doing "five movies over a two-year period".

She said: "I just did like five movies over a two-year period, and I think it's a very good decision for me right now to stop acting in movies for just a moment, and I've never really done that, I've never changed my appearance.

"I've always really stayed neutral since I was like 10 years old, so I was like, 'I'm gonna direct a short, and I'm gonna f**k up my hair.'"

And Kristen also recently revealed she feels "most alive" as an actress when she is taking lots of risks.

She explained: "When you feel like you're gonna die is when you feel the most alive. I feel as though I might actually spontaneously combust sometimes and just not be able to go on.

"I trust myself a little bit more. When I was a little bit younger, I used anxiety and nerves, which I still have a lot of. It's just that I'm better at channeling. them. I get better every time I do a job.

"I'm genuinely just drawn to material that's moving. Recently I've been into slightly more diagonal sort of, a little less straight down the line, in terms of story, and those are always a little bit less commercial."

Nancy Wu’s Relationships Fail to Pass the “2-Year Curse”

It is known that Nancy Wu (胡定欣) had went through four relationships since her debut in the industry in 2001. The A Fist Within Four Walls <城寨英雄> actress dated singer Deep Ng (吳浩康), fellow actor Kenneth Ma (馬國明), advertising executive Patt Shum (沈栢淳), and musician Terry Chan (陳明道). Whether it was due to busy schedules or personality differences, none of those relationships lasted for more than two years.

In 2003, less than three years into her debut, Nancy started dating singer Deep Ng. It was a “long distance” relationship—Nancy lived with her family in Tuen Mun of the New Territories, while Deep lived in Laguna City of Kowloon. Nancy was often photographed staying over night at Deep’s home. Nancy supported Deep when he was arrested on suspicion of cocaine possession in 2004, but their relationship ended in 2006.

Sometime around 2008, Nancy started dating Kenneth Ma, who she collaborated with in Strictly Come Dancing 2 <舞動奇蹟2>. Nancy even moved closer to Kenneth’s neighborhood in Tai Koo Shing, but they separated after about two years of dating. Nancy moved out soon after.

In 2012, Nancy started dating non-celebrity Patt Shum. It was reported that Nancy moved into his home in Tai Hang soon after starting their relationship. She reportedly moved out after they separated in 2014. 

A year later, Nancy confirmed her relationship with musician Terry Chan, who she was introduced to through mutual friends. They moved into the same apartment in Tseung Kwan O. Nancy announced her breakup with Terry last month, citing personality differences. Nancy has reportedly moved out of their home in Tseung Kwan O to her new home in Tuen Mun’s Aqua Blue estate. Nancy purchased the estate in October 2014 for $6.9 million HKD.
