英皇下令請勿打擾
【明報專訊】雖說港產片票房不景氣，但仍有不少片商願意撐住香港影壇。昨日，美亞娛樂及天下媒體公布2008年開拍15部電影，除了蔡卓妍與吳尊攜手合作的《武俠梁祝》外，還有陳慧琳與黎明主演的《江山美人》，以及梁詠琪演出的《愛得起》等。記者會上，吳尊成為焦點，大合照時更站在Kelly與阿Sa之間，令這位影壇初哥更為緊張。
席間，阿Sa透露拍檔鍾欣桐正身在香港，但將到日本讀書，經理人霍汶希已下令不能前往探望，要阿嬌專心學藝。這豈不是阿嬌變了被「隔離」？
強調非執阿嬌二攤
一直有傳阿Sa頂替好姊妹阿嬌演出《武俠梁祝》，阿Sa昨日強調並非「執二攤」，她早於去年9月已接洽該角色，而該片本來11月開拍，但後來因事押後，「我因為要接拍《風雲II》，故未必能演出《武俠梁祝》，及後覺得阿嬌適合演出，導演才轉移找阿嬌；不過，最後又因阿嬌要放大假而未能接演，加上《風雲II》的檔期又能與《武俠梁祝》遷就，所以最後又再由我來演出」。阿Sa坦言稍後的工作以拍戲為主，並要上海、泰國兩邊飛拍戲，6月才完成工作。
學跳舞唱歌個多月
阿Sa 形容阿嬌辭演是自己的選擇，因為對方狀態未準備好。哪阿嬌現在是否在外地？阿Sa說：「不是，阿嬌仍在港，但她會去進修，時間就別問我，因為不能講，阿嬌會去個多月，屆時我也不會去探望她，因要她要專心學習。」是否也不讓麥浚龍探望？「總之想阿嬌靜靜地學習，連霍汶希都不能往探望，不准有人騷擾阿嬌，她主要是學跳舞、唱歌。」阿Sa昨日大讚吳尊靚仔，問她若拍親熱戲有無問題？她說：「主要看劇本是否有需要，我怕吳尊Fans呷醋呢！」
吳尊初試啼聲感緊張
吳尊表示幾天前才知道阿Sa演出，但阿Sa並非頂替阿嬌，「很早前我已獲告之與阿Sa合作」。問到覺得阿嬌、阿Sa誰演出更稱職？吳尊未有正面答覆，亦不願比較，他只說：「我首次拍電影，心情很緊張，有得演出已很開心，希望未來能用心拍好該片，因為拍電影是我的夢想。」
美亞娛樂董事唐慶枝稱，《江山美人》內地票房理想，而吳宇森執導，梁朝偉、林志玲主演的《赤壁》將配合中國及台灣，7月在港同步上映。新開拍電影方面，除了《武俠梁祝》外，還有馬偉豪執導，梁詠琪主演的愛情喜劇《愛得起》；葉偉信執導，古天樂主演的動作喜劇《南拳北腿》；余文樂主演的型格臥底電影《青苔》；谷德昭執導的殭屍喜劇《絕對停止呼吸》，以及劉國晶執導，描述天水圍少年問題的話題性電影《圍城》，並於香港國際電影節中展出。

Charlene Choi: Gillian Chung Went to Study in Japan
EEG Ordered to Not Bother Her
Even though Hong Kong films are not doing well in the box office but there are some production companies willing to support the Hong Kong movie industry. Yesterday, Mei Ah and Big Media Group Limited announced that 15 movies will be in production in 2008. Charlene and Wu Chun (吳尊) would work together in the movie “The Lovers” (《武俠梁祝》). Kelly Chan and Leon Lai also star in “An Empress and the Warriors”. Also, Gigi Leung will feature in 《愛得起》. At the press conference, Wu Chun was the focus. During the group picture, he stood in the middle of Kelly and Charlene. This made the new actor very nervous.
During the event, Charlene revealed that her partner Gillian was still in Hong Kong but she will be heading to Japan to study. Manager Mani gave orders not to go and visit her. She wants Gillian to concentrate on her studies. Doesn’t that mean Gillian is being quarantine?
There was always a rumor that Charlene would be replacing her good sister Gillian in the movie. Yesterday, Charlene stressed that she isn’t picking up after Gillian. September of last year, she was already in talks about the role and the movie was set to start filming in November. But the movie was delayed. Charlene said: “I was filming “Storm Raiders 2” so I couldn’t film “The Lovers”.” Afterwards, the director thought that Gillian would be suitable so he started to contact her about it. But in the end, Gillian was on an extended vacation. Also, “Wind and Cloud 2” schedule was able to accommodate “The Lovers” schedule so I was able to sign onto the movie again.” Charlene admitted that her work will focus on acting later on. She needs to travel between Shanghai and Thailand to film movies. Her work won’t be done until June.
Charlene described that Gillian choose to back out of the movie herself because she wasn’t prepared yet. Is Gillian currently out of Hong Kong? Charlene said: “No, she is still in Hong Kong. But she is pursuing further education. Don’t ask me the time because I can’t tell. Gillian will be gone for a couple of months. During that time, I won’t be visiting her because she will be concentrating on her studies.” Will Juno Mak not be allowed to visit? Charlene replied: “We just want Gillian to be able to study in a quiet environment. Even Mani is not allowed to visit her. No one is allowed to bother Gillian. She will mainly learn about dancing and singing.” Yesterday Charlene praised that Wun Chun was very handsome. You won’t have any problems filming intimate scenes? She said: “It will mainly rely if the script would need it. I am afraid that Wu Chun’s fans will be jealous!”
Wu Chun expressed that he found out that Charlene would be filming the movie a few days ago. But Charlene is not replacing Gillian. He said: “Very early on, I was notified that I will be working with Charlene.” Who do you think will do a better job? Charlene or Gillian? He didn’t directly respond to the question and he was reluctant to do a comparison but he said: “This is my first movie so I am very nervous. I am very happy to be able to act in this movie. I hope I can put my heart into it and do a good job because acting is my dream.”

【明報專訊】廖碧兒昨日打扮成翻版瑪麗蓮夢露，與名模姚書軼（Mikki）展示收身成果。兩女分別獲瑪花纖體送贈一對高跟鞋及中式旗袍，還即場更換。
近期本地流感肆虐，不少市民不慎中招，有報道指正在拍攝《溏心風暴之家好月圓》的陳豪、鍾嘉欣及楊怡也相繼病倒，甚至傳出要封廠進行徹底消毒。廖碧兒聽聞事態頗嚴重，尤其擔心緋聞男友陳豪的病，「可能流感實在太厲害，除我之外，每個人都好擔心，同事都好驚，連我個廠都要消毒」。問到是否需要進行「隔離」？廖碧兒說：「我就在他們的『隔離』廠開工，不止擔心陳豪，都擔心其他同事例如鍾嘉欣和楊怡；我已致電問候陳豪，總之健康最緊要！」
姚書軼升Cup男友滿意
Mikki 自爆農曆新年期間狂吃致胖，幸好成功減去10磅肥肉，回復窈窕身形，她說：「減肥後，我發覺上圍竟然升Cup，又多了工作，穿泳衣時更有自信。最好笑是男友Sunny也發現我的胸大了，看他的樣子，應滿意我的身材呢！他還說陪我去日本買禮物，當獎勵我收身成功。」

Lately, the flu is wreaking havoc. A lot of unsuspecting citizens has fallen ill. There are reports that Moses Chan, Linda Chung and Tavia Yeung has fallen ill during the filming of “HOG 2”. Also, the stage and studios are undergoing cleaning. Bernice heard the news and became very serious and she seemed especially worried about tabloid boyfriend Moses’ illness. Bernice said: “Maybe the flu is too powerful. There are other people who are worried about it besides me. Some colleagues are very afraid. Even the set that I am working at is being disinfected.” Is there a need to be quarantined? Bernice said: “I am working next to the quarantined set. I am not only worried for Moses. I am also worried for other colleagues like Linda and Tavia. I already phoned Moses to send my regards. Health is most important!”
Mikki exposed that she lost control of her eating habits during Lunar New Year and became heavy. Luckily she was able to lose 10 pounds of fat and returned to her willowy figure. Mikki said: “After I lost weight, I found that my cup size increased suddenly. I got more work and I have more confidence when I wear swim wear. The funniest thing is my boyfriend realized that my breast became larger. From his looks, he is very satisfied with my figure! He said he would accompany me to Japan to buy presents. It’s to reward my slimming success.”

Gaile Lok Afraid of Breaching Her Contracts & Denies Her Marriage
The golden couple Leon Lai and Gaile has reportedly secretly married in Maldives last week. This has caused a stir within the city. Mrs. Lai denies being married because she is still carrying out several commercial and slimming contracts. The contract states that she cannot get married or have children before the contract ends. To protect her image as a spokesperson, Gaile needs to deny her marriage or face huge compensatory fines.
The Leon-Gaile romance has finally blossomed. The newly weds quietly flew to Maldives last week to have a secret wedding. It was a highly protected wedding except the leaked news of the wedding. It was first exposed by this newspaper. This has made Gaile nervous and lead to her denial of the marriage.
According to information, there is a difficult reason for Gaile’s denial. She is the face of quite a few commercials and is the spokesperson for a slimming company. To protect the products, there are a few conditions in the contract which does not allow marriage and child birth during the course of the contract. If there is a breach of contract, there is an enormous fine. But Gaile is risking contract violation to be with the person she loves. This shows how much she loves Leon. Also, 查小欣 on her show explained the reason behind artiste denying their marriage. She said: “If you are the spokesperson for a commercial, they would specify that you need to be single. Once you get married, you breach the contract and need to pay compensation. Even if you are married, you would deny it.” Yesterday, she called Leon’s manager, 陳善之, and he said that Leon will be returning to Hong Kong in two days. Gaile’s modeling agency announced through their spokesperson that they would not question their model’s private life. The spokesperson said: “We give our models a lot of freedom. We do not interfere with their private life.”
