Theresa promotes her new book



Singer and actress Theresa Fu will be releasing a new book this coming Thursday. The book is titled ‘A Time to Love.’ Theresa will be holding a book signing tomorrow in order to promote this new title. Theresa commented: “This book is quite different. I have included many deep down experiences and other things. It is good value for money. ”

Each year the book exhibition attracts many fans of Theresa’s to queue over night. Theresa added: “I don’t want my fans to go through this again, so it was decided to hold this book signing and promotion before the exhibition. Fans can pre order the new book and receive it when it is released.”

To attract more readers, Theresa will be also increasing the book volume as well as giving away signed posters. She expressed: “On the exhibition day, there will be limited edition of my poster and also the first 50 fans at my book signing will also receive a special signed entrance voucher for the book exhibition, so they do not need to queue earlier that day.”

I was watching this TV Series called Chinese Paladin 3 a while ago. I think it was really cool. It is based on a Chinese game with the same name, and therefore the fighting scenes are very anime/game like. It is definitely worth trying out, and you can find a YouTube playlist with the series here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0049FD1D7FFC7C9C :3

^ looks like fun! I remember you mentioning you were digging the series but a game tie in GENIUS!

LMFAO only in Hong Kong can you get news like this:

The big news this week is Lau Ding-sing’s (劉定成) private photo collection. The Apple Daily reported that the wealthy Hong Kong businessman claims to have 100,000 photos of partially dressed and fully nude male celebrities, including singer William Chan (陳偉霆), actor and director Daniel Wu (吳彥祖) and actor, singer and model Stephen Fung (馮德倫).

Needless to say, the three celebs have all denied posing for the 62-year-old Lau.

The cache, which Lau has been bragging about to any news outlet that will listen to him, also includes body builders, sports stars and pretty much anyone else who would disrobe in front of him for cash.

But the lusty Lau might soon have the grin wiped off his face. Amidst much soul-searching in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, where nascent actors are said to be lured into compromising positions to boost their careers, three unnamed actors and a fitness instructor have accused Lau of indecent assault. The case is ongoing.

SCMP: Man behind 'Old Master Q' [老夫子] calls on next generation

 Famed Hong Kong caricaturist Joseph Wong Chak is calling young and talented artists to help him continue his comedic legacy, as he celebrates the 50th anniversary of his well-loved Old Master Q series.
 Wong, who left his handprint yesterday for the soon-to-be-opened Avenue of Comic Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, said the series was an indelible part of local history.

 " Old Master Q is like the collective memory of Hong Kong," said Wong, now based in Taiwan. "We welcome all young comic artists, who love cheering others up by drawing comics, to join our team."


1966 - Ko Lo Chuen as Master Q and Ai Dung-Gwa as Da Fanshu/Big Potato

Created in 1962 by Wong's father, Alfonso Wong Kar-hei, the ongoing adventures of lead character Old Master Q and his sidekick Big Potato have turned into the most enduring Chinese comic series owing to their funny misadventures and jokes.



 The comic book series, which has entertained generations of avid readers, is currently produced by a team of four cartoonists, the youngest of whom is 21.

 Adding to his call for new talent, Joseph Wong joked: "Do we not have enough lawyers, politicians and other professionals? Why not become a cartoonist to create more fun and happiness for others?"



 As part of the anniversary, an exhibition featuring more than 100 frames of Wong's original comic strip will be held at Galerie Huit in Wan Chai from Saturday until the end of next month.

Wong's contribution to comic art history will also be recognised at the Avenue of Comic Stars, set to open in August.

 Built by the Hong Kong Comics and Animation Federation to honour the local industry, the avenue at Kowloon Park will feature big painted statues of famous characters. Six of them, including Old Master Q, will be three metres tall. There will also be bronze handprints of 10 distinguished comic artists.

"In the past, all bird drawings in a visual art class were the same. If you stood out from the crowd, you were doomed to fail," Wong said.

 "But now everyone can have their own kind of bird. Creativity can be borderless." (SCMP)

My grandfather used to slip in an Old Master Q comics when he sent entertainment mags to my moms GOOD TIMES!! and they were so pervy and racist sssshiittt, look at this:
