Gloves Come Off's "Lo Kut" (Henry Leung) challenges his father Kevin Cheng
Since the broadcast of Gloves Come Off, the series has won public praises and this is the week of the finale. In the series, aside from all the boxing scenes, Kevin Cheng and his son "Lo Kut" father-son relationship has earned hot tears. Lo Kut's real name is Henry Leung (Chi Ho), a 10 years old who performs exceptionally well in school. He's one clever little boy, when memorizing his lines, he just looks at it once and his photograhic memory takes action. During filming, little Henry often bravely challenges Kevin in seeing who can memorize their lines and have the least NGs.
Lo Kut treats the set as if it was a playground and often gets sweaty from all the playing. He said: "My parents have to go to work, and rarely takes me out to the playground. It's been at least two years since I've been to one." Having such a good time playing, but once a family member says stop, Lo Kut behaves and goes straight back to his family and does not make a fuss at all.
Kevin has once described his on-screen son Lo Kut as '寸寸哋' ('chyun' - a little cocky). He said: "If I had a good life, I would want a son with his personality. There will only be sparks with Lo Kut's personality and the outcome was great." Lo Kut is not considered cute, but he has a smart and clever look. Lo Kut will turn 10 in October, and is currently in the fourth grade. He's an excelled student, ranking fourth place in his class. He scores the highest in his class in general knowledge, mathematics and English grammer. He is also the SGA vice president and a leader at the library. In all, he's a leader in school.
When asked if Lo Kut likes acting? He answered: "It's fun." Then he suddenly exposed: "Only in the series I can have a Boxing King father!" What if he has to take a test in school, how does he study and film? Lo Kut gave an earnest answer: "I do all my homework at school and at home, study first. Then I can focus on my acting and shooting the series."
Competes with Kevin on who NGs the least
In Gloves Come Off, Lo Kut is an 8 year old boy, but he had always liked to play with his big brothers and sisters, so he has a great relationship with Kevin: "The first time I met 'Lo Dai' (or Big Brother) Kevin, he asked me: 'However you usually call your dad, just call me the same way!' I've actually started off calling him 'Lo Dau', but then somehow it turned to 'Lo Dai'. I still call him that now. He also told me to watch Chow Yun Fat's All About Ah-Long."
In the series, Lo Kut and Kevin's parent-son activity is to compete on memorizing lines. Lo Kut said: "We race to see who can memorize our lines the fastest, then we practice together and see who would get it wrong." Lo Kut's elder sister accompanied him on this interview, she said: "Sometimes when its time to start shooting, my brother is still playing, but then Kevin would ask: 'Your playing here? Have you memorized all your lines yet? The upcoming scene is very important!' Then my brother would answer him: 'Let's see who's going to NG first then?!' My brother is really good at memorizing lines, he practices with me once at home, and won't need to look at it again once he's on the set. Even if the lines change at the last minute, he won't get it wrong, so whenever my brother and Kevin compete on who NGs the least, he rarely loses."
Lo Kut's real father was at the side pointing a finger at his son, he laughed: "I don't know how, but he can even remember the long lines. Tell him to cry and he cries immediately. Before I didn't know he can act. He even exchanged phone numbers with Kevin, but we don't even have Kevin's number." Lo Kut expressed he and Kevin have been keeping in touch: "He would ask me how I'm doing on my homework and tells me to eat more! I call Lo Dai and set a meeting in June for Father's Day, but he's not going to be in HK. I told him I'll wait until he gets back to HK first!"
Three years ago, Lo Kut's mother had a friend recommend him to shoot a commercial, and since then a director spotted him. He has been in music videos, films, educational programs and on RTHK.

Katy Kung - Challenge

Katy Kung - Challenge

Katy Kung - Challenge
Last year was considered a prosperous year for Katy Kung. The line up of her series released one after the other and her sitcom was basically on TV every night. Following her performance in Bottled Passion as the rebellious young girl Ko Yi Nga, her popularity was on the rise. Recently in Gloves Come Off, Katy continues her fate with Raymond Wong once again and plays the 'wu lei jing' third party, who breaks families up. She's even worst this time compared to Bottled Passion.
Big eyes, small face and speaks sweetly, Katy Kung gives off the girl next door feeling. No wonder every time she's in a series, she often plays someone's little sister. Katy expressed: "I don't mind playing a little girl, because quite honestly I want to try every type of role. In fact, I should be happy that I'm still young enough to play those type of roles."
Modern version 'Bottled Passion'
Since last year's Bottled Passion, she played the childish and rebellious young girl, fighting with her sister (Elaine Yiu) for a guy (Raymond Wong). Her role was an eye-opener for audience. Recently in Gloves Come Off, she gets so bad that she goes around stealing husbands and plays with schemes to harm others. "Gloves Come Off is the most intense series I've done since my debut. I'm a 'wu lei jing' that steals husbands and I'm much worst than in Bottled Passion. Last time, I was just childish, but this time I use schemes to go harm people. I had some intense scenes, such as falling down the stairs and getting hit by a car."
Katy reveals in Gloves Come Off, she gave away her first on-screen kiss: "I had a kiss scene with Raymond Wong, that was my first on-screen kiss. Both of us continued on from Bottled Passion, so it was fortunate that we were familar. We had a comfortable collaboration."
Although Katy was already prepared to get scolded and hated by audience when the series comes out, but she was still excited. "It doesn't matter, I will try every type of role. If I don't try, I don't know if I can do it or not."
Don't want to be Charmaine Sheh
In series, no matter how rebellious or evil Katy gets, we all will still think its just the behaviors of a childish young girl. However, off-cameras, Katy denies she's a little girl: "I have planning when doing things. Even in everyday life, I would think of what time I should be leaving the door? What time I should do what? Actually, I haven't thought about my direction in this industry, haha!"
Katy claims she is passive and understands that many things cannot be forced. Being promoted? She really doesn't even want to think about it. "I really haven't thought about what position I want to be promoted to. I am already doing well because in every series, I'm the youngest. I get a lot of love from others, I've gained that happiness. I never thought about becoming a Charmaine Sheh or Sheren Tang."
As far as awards, last year she was nominated for 'Most Improved Actress', but eventually lost to Sire Ma. Katy expressed: "In the future, of course I hope to get this award. It is considered a comfort that I can give to my family. Since youth, I had too much freedom, my family is too laid back. They let me try whatever I want to, and because of this, everything I do, it is just a 'three minute passion'. So, I hope to let them know that I am not playing here. I really am working hard." When speaking of her future prospects, Katy really have instantly matured a lot, "Since I started working, each month I insist on saving half of my salary. I really like to save money, and don't know how to invest. Perhaps I can open a dessert shop in the future, but right now I cannot think too much. Maybe when I turn 30, it's still not too late."
High Profile Underground Relationship
As for her relationships, everyone knows Katy is Patrick Tang's girlfriend. Even at last year's TVB anniversary, when Patrick won the raffle, the MC pulled Katy out to cheer for him, but it turns out the young couple still hope to go underground. "I never thought about it! I have never said he's my boyfriend, haha! Even if you ask him, he won't admit it."
What? How can that be? Is it because all this is pressure from TVB? Katy denied: "TVB didn't say anything, just asked me how our relationship is going? Have enough understanding yet? Everyone treats me like a little girl. Actually, there is one thing I decided and I won't regret it. Not just my relationship I won't talk about, other things are the same. I've been like that since youth."
In the last two years, Katy's career development has been going smoothly and it will be difficult for her to avoid comparsion of her future prospects to Patrick's future prospects, "It's not because he's bad, just he hasn't found a record company yet, but he has been shooting series and musicals all along. He still has friends that compose music for him and people can't see these things. I think he's very hard working. A person that sincerely puts in the effort should have pretty good results." As for their future? Katy expressed: "Wah! No one knows the future. At this moment, I will not be getting married. That is just too far from now!" The bottom line is, "career is the priority"!

All Round 2 Contestants
Miss Hong Kong 2012 - 'Plastic' Contestants advances into Second Auditions
Yesterday afternoon, Miss Hong Kong 2012 second round of auditions was held at TVB City. After the first auditions on Monday, 62 of the contestants advanced to round two. Those contestants that had comparatively good quality remained, some where 'plastic' beauties. Kent Tong's niece, Roxanne Tong made it into round two, but she is faced with a strong opponent, 'Pirated Michelle Chen' (Christy), 'Board Face Annie Liu' (Cindy) and part-time model (Gloria). Roxanne was also attacked left and right by the media, that she got plastic surgery and likes to go out late night partying. Fortunately her father (Tong Chan Chung) has been supportive.
As Kent Tong's niece, Roxanne was the center of attention, with lots of negative news. Based on her old pictures, it was said there has been a change in her looks. In the past, she had a wider face, a flatter nose and lots of pimples. Roxanne calmly denied the rumors that she got plastic surgery: "Because I lost weight. I'm 20 pounds lighter compared to the old me. So, naturally there's a difference in my looks." She also said she rarely goes out for late night partying, and the pictures were from a friend's party. When asked if her father, Tong Chun Chung, opposed to her participating in Miss HK? She said: "My father loves me dearly, I don't want to miss out on this opportunity and regret it and my father is very supportive."
During the first audition, the contestant with the phoenix tattoo on her back was eliminated, but there are speculations that several of the contestants got plastic surgery done including 'Wuhan Viann Zhang' (Serena), 'Ruler Nose' (Carmen), Ashley, Moss and Nicki. Serena's face turned black when asked about the plastic surgery rumor; Moss touched her nose with her hands, implying she had no plastic surgery done; Nicki has a sharp chin, she said as if she's been wronged, she only had braces before and never plastic surgery.

Kenneth Ma sighs no one invited him to take nude photos
Yesterday Kenneth Ma a carnival event in Malaysia and demonstrated 'Teh Tarik' (Pulled Tea) live on the spot. When speaking of the recent male artist sex photo scandal, Kenneth said: "I've saw the reports too, and I just thought it was funny. But I didn't see my name on the list and felt a bit unhappy. I can say my body figure isn't that bad. Don't necessarily have to be a built and bulky guy, but still no one invited me to take nude photos."
As for the 23 year old female artist rape case, Kenneth does not understand why girls have to go to those places to drink. Even if it is a very close friend, still have to be careful. It is safer to drink in the comfort of your own home.

Liza Wang denies being on bad terms with Gigi Wong
Liza Wang and Gigi Wong are two 'big sister level' actresses, recently they have been working together on producer Poon Ka Tak's new series A Chip off the Old Block II. It has been rumored that the two are on bad terms. A magazine reported while Liza was discussing her costume, she learned Gigi had intentions to cut her hair short, and then she quickly fought to say she's more suitable for the short haircut. Gigi eventually gave in and didn't insist on getting the haircut.
Yesterday Liza clarified on Weibo that they are not on bad terms: "Producer Poon Ka Tak hopes to reference Madame Bovary's elegant style, over 10 years ago she had a short hairstyle. Necessary for the series, I cut my long hair. Please everyone, stop trying to make it seem like Liza Jeh and Gigi Jeh are on bad terms. These reports are just stories made out of nothing. I do not need to borrow such news to get publicity. I respect Gigi Jeh for turning down a high salary job invitation just to be able to collaborate with me. I cherish our collaboration opportunity. In reality, bad term rumors have never been me!"
