Eason Chan rushes back to Hong Kong to see daughter's ballet performance

Last night, Eason Chan especially rushed back to Hong Kong from Guangzhou to attend his beloved daughter's ballet school performance, like a 24/7 father. Eason and his wife Hilary Tsui arrived at the scene together, he said: "My daughter is performing in the last half of the show, she learning ballet is possibly because her mom learned it before, so she was influenced since young. However, she rarely shows her ballet skills at home, often keeping it to herself." His wife Hilary greatly praised her daughter's voice being as good as her father's? "That means she's praising me, thank her, but my daughter really has talent for performing, but also needs to keep it low, I hope to give her some space." Eason said that when his daughter goes to school, her classmates would ask why her dad is always so jumpy, so she hopes to keep her daughter low-key, don't want to trouble the school or other people. On contrast, he doesn't mind he himself be high-profile.

Former TV presenter Janis Chan's crazy fan threatens to stab her eyes & bomb her company BMA

Former TV presenter Janis Chan's crazy fan threatens to stab her eyes & bomb her company BMA

Started off her career as a TV presenter and later entered BMA's Marketing & Advertising Ltd. as the Vice President, Janis Chan has always had a group of loyal fans' support. It was understood that when Janis was a TV presenter, she got herself a crazy male fan admirer, often uploading his personal photos on Janis website, Facebook and Weibo. Lately, the male fan's messages are getting more and more intense, even uploading a group photo of him and a half naked girl on Janis websites. Janis was forced to delete it and blocked him immediately. The male fan saw this and quickly made life-threatening calls to BMA, and successfully reached Janis in one of the calls. He constantly expressed his love for Janis and frightened her so much she quickly hung up.

The male fan went even further and called BMA again the day before. He wanted to talk to Janis directly and ask her to meet with him. After receiving a rejection, he was angry, cursed at the company and threatened them: "If not, I will stab her eyes out and put bombs in the company." BMA felt Janis life was threatened, so they decided to call the police. Yesterday Janis appeared at the Wan Chai police station accompanied by her manager and stayed for almost an hour.

The media contacted Janis over the phone and she admitted to the incident. She said: "I was frightened too, so I didn't dare to tell my parents. (You know the male fan?) Never met him, I have noticed his messages and uploaded photos, but recently he has been getting too over and is doing personal attacks." Asked if she'll hire body guards, she expressed: "My boss (Lo Kit Sing) will hire one. I feel that it is necessary, I don't leave the door myself anymore and won't go out late. (Sexual harassment?) No, just life threatened."

BMA and her colleagues are all worried about her safety. Currently in Shanghai, Niki Chow said: "I have encountered crazy fans before too, I am very careful. When I go out or to work, I often have someone accompany me. I hope the fan is just playing, don't hurt Janis. I am pretty worried about her, I will call and SMS to comfort her, hope she's ok."

Model Jacqueline Chong admits to getting boob job & double eyelid surgery

"Tall, Thin, Flat" is Jacqueline Chong's body figure characteristics, she is a 31A cup size and her career line is average. After her 30th birthday, she increased her cup size. Last Friday (8/6), she received a boob job, planting silicone in her breast and increased to a C cup. She also "conveniently" got double eyelids while she was at it. She wants to be a perfect beauty. Yesterday Jacqueline announced to the world she's done plastic surgery, becoming a brave woman.

Yesterday Jacqueline Chong wrote on Weibo: "Remember last week, I told everyone that there will soon be a change in my body? I am telling you all now that I went to get double eyelids and got a boob job! So amazing..." Marie Zhuge left a message asking if Jacqueline was crazy. Jacqueline responded that she was not. There are many Netizens who left messages saying that they can't believe it, and at the same time there are some Netizens who bluntly expressed their admiration. The media contacted Jacuqeline and asked how she feels now jumping from an A cup to a C cup? She expressed that before the surgery some people did oppose to her decision. After the surgery, she felt that since she made the decision, she should not hide the fact. Telling a lie is too difficult, so she decided to publicly admit it, this requires lots of courage.

Jacqueline's boyfriend Deep Ng has no comment towards his girlfriend getting a boob job. He expressed as long as his girlfriend is happy. In 2004, Gaile Lok also publicly admitted to getting surgery, but a year later she "broke the bomb" reviving her natural self.
