Various artists, Promise MV

“Promise” (承诺; Cheng Nuo), the theme song for Artiste 512 Fundraising Campaign to raise funds for the Chinese quake victims…


Promise, performed by mostly mainland China’s artists

The song is adapted from rock band Beyond’s popular song; the new lyrics is written by pop star Andy Lau. The song is meant to show encouragement to the quake victims and to show the artists’ commitment to help them along the way.


Another version featuring mostly Hong Kong artists

The death toll of the earthquake is around 70k, with another 15-20k still missing. The rebuild mission has already begun, and it’s a long journey to go. Stay strong Chinese people, and fighting!

Zhang Ziyi ‘migrates’ to Hong Kong


Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi has migrate to Hong Kong under HK’s Quality Migrant Admission Scheme (QMAS).

I am not sure if ‘migrate’ is the right word… Hong Kong is part of China afterall. There are a few advantages for Ziyi to move to Hong Kong though; one of the benefits is the ease of travelling overseas (which she does quite often)… some countries have different entry requirements (visa etc.) for mainland China residents and Hong Kong residents.

Michael Tse Would Like to Shave Charmaine's Legs



Michael Tse and Jordan Chan prepared for their new series "Steel Lips Silver Teeth" with a headshaving ceremony, joined by female lead Charmaine Sheh. Seeing the men having so much fun, she wanted to join in the fun, so she picked up the shaver and helped them out, but left their heads in a bit of a mess. Michael requested the stylist to leave him with a punk hairstyle until he shaves it clear later on today.

Michael says that he will miss his hair a little, but he has not kept any as a memento because it will slowly grow back again. He says: "Yesterday, I originally asked my wife to give me a punk hairdo, but after an hour, it failed and we just gave up and I had to ask the stylist to do it for me." Michael has not worked with Jordan for a while now and he hopes to convince him into giving up smoking, but says disappointedly: "I don't think he can do it, I can just mention it more in front of him."

For Jordan, this is the second time he has shaved his hair for a series after "Duke of Mount Deer" earlier. He is used to it now, but he laughs: "I had my hair permed especially for this!" As for Michael hoping he will quit smoking, he says with confusion: "In the show he has to smoke a pipe, so we will have to see if he is quitting or if I am." For Charmaine who will have her costume fitting today, she says she is envious of their shaved heads because it seems so refreshing and she would not have to spend so much time doing her hair, especially when schedules are tight, then a bald head is more convenient. As for her first attempt at shaving someone's head, she says she was worried about hurting them. When asked about her catching the top of Michael's head, she laughs: "It serves him right, he is always so cheeky. He just said he would like to shave my legs for me!"
