Edison Chen to return this week?; Gillian sings amongst complaints

Edison Chen’s exact location is presently still a mystery to all. His last known whereabouts was in Vancouver but is now reportedly back in Boston. There were apparently airport sightings of him in Shanghai yesterday but it was a hoax after a check with immigration. An East Asia Music spokesperson revealed however that Edison would be back within this week and the earliest would be this Thursday or Friday. He is under fire from basically the whole world and will make his stand regarding the whole matter in a press conference.

Security is the biggest obstacle holding Edison from coming back to Hong Kong. There are reportedly instructions passed from a renowed triad boss that whoever cut off one of Edison’s hands will receive a 500 thousand cashfall. The police aren’t taking this threat lightly and are monitoring the situation. Edison has revealed (not sure if it’s reliable) that he was forced to take these pictures so that someone can use them to force the female starlets to do things they didn’t want. Hasn’t been seen in public since his public statement video.

Gillian Chung returned to the stage on Sunday for the first time since the scandal but her presence has drawn hundreds of complaints.

Chung and her singing partner, Charlene Choi of the pop duo Twins, were among an all-star line-up for a show, held by the local TVB station, fundraising for the snowstorm-stricken people on the mainland.

TVB received more than 170 complaints against Chung appearing on the show and their gripe was they couldn’t accept her explanation and accused her of lacking honesty and some acted to boycott her.

At the Sunday show, many attending stars expressed their support for Chung, but the 27-year-old appeared on the stage looking a bit melancholy. Although there were dozens of Twins’ fans holding supportive banners on site, Chung seemingly eschewed making eye contact with the audience. She left the show immediately after Twins’ performance.

Critics claim the scandal is set to take a toll on her career. Since she is on the cast for Chen Kaige’s upcoming biopic about Peking opera legend Mei Lanfang, many media reports suspect that her scenes might eventually be cut out, which the film’s producer denied.

Conflicting reports on whether Nicholas & Cecilia are ok and separated. In her police statement said she was not drugged or forced to take the pictures. Her statement indirectly implied that the photos are real and not photoshopped.

Bobo Chan is flying back to Hong Kong from America, her wedding is confirmed off. Candice Chen beau is however not going to let this affect their wedding plans. Maggie Q due in Hong Kong for movie promotion, will give a statement regarding this. Rachel Ngan too will release a statement very soon. New set of Edison & Bobo Chan pictures released yesterday, but nowhere to be seen.
