Yesterday, Louis Koo went to Tin Shui Wai (天水圍) to attend a function held by Unicef: ‘The opening ceremony for the ‘friends of UNICEF’ ambassador plan’. This was his first time going to Tin Shui Wai and he got lost, he said: “I hope that the people around this area will care about this activity as well as visiting the family which has just immigrated here”. Next month, Louis will visit Nepal for seven days to help reconstruct areas affected by the flood. “After understanding the problem, donating money will not be a problem.”

There are magazines which say that during ‘’ Jolin Tsai kept close to him. Louis said: “On the day, I talked to the three new members as fellow apprentices. Maybe that may have caused people to misunderstand.” As for the news interest, Isabella Leong, suffering accusation from Emporer Entertainment Group for breaking the contract, Louis says: “This is a contract, paper is dead, people are alive, the contract must be respected and followed but I feel that communication is very important. An old colleague and I, even cooperating is the same, feel that emotions are also very important.”

Vanness Loves to Hug Michelle Chen ~ Zai Zai Smell of Jealousy



"Zai Zai" Vic Zhou firmly denied ambiguity with CTS drama "Wish to See you Again" female actress Michelle Chen, but once good brother Vanness Wu is doing a guest appearance, and seeing him pinch her face, he couldn't hold back in a jealous way: "I haven't pinched before, how come Vanness can pinch?"

Vanness is joining "Wish to See you Again", competing with Zai Zai for Michelle. Arriving at the film scene, Vanness actively joked and talked with Michelle, using similar tatics like Zai Zai, also hoping to melt away any feelings of not too familiar to prevent any embarassing feelings.

Vanness has his western style, once he appeared, he gives Michelle a "loving hug", and often uses his hands to pinch her face, not understanding this type of intimate gesture, wouldn't it make him more jealous. The two not only showed their girl courting techniques, in the drama their tennis match is also another battle. Zai Zai totally does not know anything about tennis, even though Vanness can, but to say as a pro, he's still far from that, so they had to ask an instructor to play for them.
