Cecilia Cheung receives praises for her bare face


Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung was praised for her beauty after being spotted barefaced at an arcade in China last Sunday (Mar 1).

The 34-year-old had come under pressure recently after photos of her with a slightly plump face surfaced online.

According to a Hong Kong magazine, the reconciliation of her former husband Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong had affected her emotions and health, and she suffered the side effects of a ‘puffy’ face from consuming Chinese medicine to correct her menstrual cycle.

However, the actress dispelled the rumours when she appeared on the streets of Hong Kong last Monday (Feb 23) looking refreshed.

On Sunday, a Chinese netizen also witnessed Cecilia’s crew accompanying her to an arcade in Beijing, where she tried her luck at a toy grabbing machine and won herself three toy plushies.

Kylie Jenner's 15lb weight gain


Kylie Jenner is 15 pounds heavier.

The 17-year-old reality TV star, who is known for her curvaceous figure, took to her Instagram account yesterday (01.03.15) and claimed she's piled on more than a stone in weight in 10 months.

Sharing a flashback photograph of herself in black leggings, a white T-shirt and blonde hair from last May, she wrote: ''throwback to when I was 15 pounds skinnier & had blonde goin on (sic).''

Meanwhile, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' beauty recently admitted that she understands how important it is for her to post updates about her life on social media but believes the person she depicts on there is ''different'' to who she really is.

She said: ''I love to connect with people, but it became just a bigger door for people to judge me.

''I feel like, growing up, I haven't had a lot of room for error - I don't have room to make mistakes. You need to make mistakes to grow and learn, but I'm just a little different because the world is watching me, every single thing I do.''

She added: ''On Instagram I'm like a different person almost, I just show people what I want people to see.''

While she was tied down with work that day, Li Chen was seen boarding a flight in the wee hours from Beijing to Shanghai, where Bingbing’s filming took place.

The rumoured couple was speculated to meet up on the night of Valentine’s Day and witnesses claimed they did not step out of the hotel the next day.

Moses Chan and Aimee Chan welcome second son


Hong Kong celebrity couple Moses Chan and Aimee Chan welcomed their second son, Nathan Lucas Chan, on Feb 26. The baby boy weighed 2.8kg at birth and is said to bear sharp resemblance to his father.

While speaking to the media at Canossa Hospital on Saturday, the couple said that they have yet to come up with the child’s Chinese name, but they would prefer one that does not sound similar to their elder son Aiden Joshua’s Chinese name, Chen Zi Ye. In addition, Aimee explained that Nathan represents “a gift from God” and Lucas refers to a “star”.

Just two days after giving birth, Aimee had a radiant complexion and appeared to be in good condition. However, the actress revealed that the delivery process was more toilsome this time around, as the labour contractions lasted for five hours.

When asked if he has any rewards for his wife, Moses laughed in reply: “[I will give her] anything that she wants. It’d be a tough one this time.”

Moses, who accompanied Aimee throughout the process, also personally cut the baby’s umbilical cord. “I was very worried when I saw her in so much pain. But she is very strong. I was moved to tears when I saw the baby!” he exclaimed.

In addition, Moses also expressed his wish to try for a daughter in future. The actor is currently putting work on hold to look after his wife.

Later that day, Aimee posted a photo of Nathan Lucas on Weibo for the first time. “Being a mother & birthing life is the most courageous and most memorable experiences of my life... and now our second Prince is born! (sic)” she wrote.

Cecilia Cheung dispels ‘plump’ face rumours


Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung dispelled rumours of having a ‘plump’ face after being seen on the streets of Hong Kong recently.

Earlier this month, netizens were shocked when photos of the 34-year-old looking visibly more ‘puffy’ and ‘chubby’ surfaced online.

On Monday, a Hong Kong magazine also claimed that Cecilia, who was formerly married to Nicholas Tse, suffered a blow from the news on her ex-husband’s relationship with Chinese singer Faye Wong and had to be on medication to regulate her menstrual cycle.

The puffiness in her face was said to be a side effect of the medication and it reportedly affected her mood at work.

However, Cecilia appeared along the streets of Causeway Bay in Hong Kong on Wednesday night (Feb 25). The 34-year-old wore a pair of sunglasses on her head and strutted down the streets in her three-inch high heels and with a branded bag in hand, looking fashionable and refreshed.

Witnesses said that the actress smiled happily and appeared relaxed. She was also said to exude the beauty of a young girl with her fair glistening skin, making it difficult to tell that she is already a mother-of-two.

While her cheeks may have appeared round and full in the photos taken, Cecilia’s face was not swollen.

Throughout her night out, Cecilia kindly acceded to photo requests from passer-bys. When a passer-by praised her for her beauty, Cecilia gave a bright smile immediately as she could not contain her joy.

Chris Martin writing love songs for Gwyneth


Chris Martin has been writing ''love songs'' for Gwyneth Paltrow.

The Coldplay frontman separated from his wife of nine years last March but insiders say he has been working hard to win her back and he even spent Valentine's Day (14.02.15) with the 'Iron Man 3' actress, not his current on/off girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence.

A source said: ''Chris never wanted to separate. He's always wanted a reunion and has been jumping through hoops to make it happen in the last year, including doing 'homework' by reading stacks of self-help books suggested by Gwyneth to 'actualise' himself.

''He's written her love songs and has put his relationship with Jen on hold more than once.

And it seems Gwyneth - who has children Apple, 10, and Moses, eight, with Chris - is softening towards the idea of getting back together.

The source added: ''Gwyneth has always made it clear there's a hope that they could get back together. They even decided to postpone the official divorce indefinitely, but it's only in the last few weeks she's seemed keen to be a couple again.

''It was at her suggestion they spent Valentine's Day together. Neither of them gave much weight to the occasion itself but she obviously felt it would be a nice gesture for the kids and it looks like she's testing the waters for a full-blown reunion. They seem closer than ever right now.''

Despite hoping for a reunion with Gwyneth, the 'Fix You' hitmaker is still dating Jennifer, but insiders insist their romance isn't serious.

The source told Grazia magazine: ''Chris has made it clear to Jen that Gwyneth and his family are his priority and they're keeping things casual while it works itself out.

''Now Chris is expected to celebrate his birthday on March 2 with Gwyneth too.''
