Chinese actor Liu Ye and his French girlfriend Anais Martane got married in Beijing on Sunday (July 5) in both Jewish and Chinese traditional wedding ceremonies…
Veteran Hong Kong actor Shek Kin passed away on June 3 at the age of 96.
Most famous for his numerous villain roles, Shek had starred in more than 300 dramas and movies in a career that spanned over 50 years.
Westerners would probably known him for his play in 1972 film “Enter The Dragon” as the nemesis of another Chinese legend, Bruce Lee…
Chinese starlet Isabella Leong gave birth to a baby boy on April 26 in Toronto, Canada.
Isabella, 21, and HKG billionaire Richard Li, 42, started their relationship in March 2008. There were rumours in early 2009 that the actress was pregnant, but nobody took it seriously.
Come to think of it… it’s probably the main reason why her ex-agency EEG had softened over their contract dispute; the company must have realised about the fact (probably told by Richard) and was made to reach the settlement deal in November 2008.
The baby’s name is Ethan Li Changzhi (loose translation). Best wishes.
