本年度香港小姐競選已經展開招募行動，昨日無線特別安排歷屆港姐包括楊思琦、葉翠翠、曹敏莉（Mandy）、陳茵媺（Aimee）、張嘉兒及徐淑敏（Suki）等，到郵輪上舉行記者會，事緣今屆港姐外景拍攝將是自1973年舉辦以來最豪華的一次，眾佳麗將先赴美國邁亞密拍攝三日，然後登上郵輪繼續其餘的拍攝，預計於五月二十二日出發。
張嘉兒當眾落淚
眾港姐昨日以低胸晚裝亮相，其中以思琦最性感，其次是翠翠、Suki及Mandy。期間當張嘉兒講及卸任在即，竟忍不住當眾落淚，她抹淚道：「好不捨得，因為這一年來大家一齊出入，每次都互相提點甚至幫對方化妝。」她謂最初也想快些卸任，因希望嘗試不同的工作，但愈近卸任反而愈不捨得。她又羨慕應屆佳麗可以上郵輪拍外景，因她從未上過郵輪玩。
思琦在一班師妹面前，頓時變成最老的一個，但她笑道：「我反而覺得年輕，因為這七年來做了很多不同工作，好充實，好像才過了兩、三年時間，尤其是得到很多朋友的支持，就最令我覺得開心，所以將來自己有女兒的話，也會叫她選美，因除了可以學到很多東西之外，還可以發掘自己的潛質。」
徐淑敏做提名人
Suki 對於被指較失色，她笑道：「她們個個都高質素嘛！」她又透露今年打算做提名人，提名一個中學時的朋友參選，她笑道：「這個朋友讀書時已很美，到現在仍保持得好好，所以不應浪費，加上她又不時向我探問選美的情況。（你漂亮還是她漂亮？）大家不同feel，我是斯文型，她則是運動型美女，但她較多追求者。」
曹敏莉難忘經歷
從未坐過郵輪的Mandy，笑言趁自己仍未超齡，也想多參加一次港姐競選，並有信心可以再勝出，不過想深一層，參選是一個難忘的經歷，自己留一次回憶已足夠，應該把機會留給其他人。有人叫她提名妹妹參選，她謂每個人的志向不同，妹妹最喜歡唱歌，並已簽約有線。她笑道：「其實朋友們見到我參選後變得自信又開心，所以只要她們的年齡合乎參選年紀就會主動參加的。」
陳茵媺慶祝生日
昨日愚人節亦是Aimee的生日，所以大會送蛋糕給她時，也不忘整蠱她，就是先把蛋糕送給鄧上文又為她唱生日歌，唱罷才揭曉真正的壽星女是Aimee，不過 Aimee仍開心道：「其實這些年來，我只試過兩次被整蠱，除了這次之外，另一次是上年生日時，接到一個朋友向我講生日快樂，之後就表示自己撞斷腳入了醫院，接著停了約二十秒才笑出來，我才知道被整蠱，不過我反而渴望被整蠱，因這是開心事。」昨日做完宣傳後，她要返電視城拍周刊封面，但她毫無怨言，因覺得生日有工作就會全年好運。至於生日願望她希望可以拍多些劇集，演技愈來愈進步。日前fans更替她搞了一個生日會，又送了很多禮物給她，包括軟糖、相簿等，不過最開心是有很多朋友SMS祝賀她。

Shirley Yeung’s Future Daughter Will Also Compete in Pageants
This year’s Miss Hong Kong Pageants is starting their recruiting operations. Yesterday, TVB made special arrangements for past Miss Hong Kong pageant contestants to do a press conference on a cruise ship. Shirley Yeung, Tracy Ip, Mandy Cho, Aimee Chen, Kayi Cheung, Suki Chui and others were in attendance. The filming locations for this year’s pageant will be the most glamorous since the 1973 pageant year. All the contestants will go to Miami for three days for filming. Then they will board a cruise ship to finish up filming the specials. Preparations are made to start filming on May 22nd.
Yesterday, all the pageant winners wore low cut evening dresses. Shirley was the sexiest. Next in line would be Tracy, Suki and then Mandy. Kayi was talking about how her reign was ending and she couldn’t help but start to cry. She had tears in her eyes when she said: “I am going to miss it. Everyone was together when we went out to events during this year. We would help each other apply makeup every time.” Kayi said that she wanted her reign to end quickly at first so she could have different work experience. As the year progressed, she found that she didn’t want to let go. She also said that she was envious of this year’s contestant because they could film outdoor scenes on a cruise ship. Kayi has not gone onto a cruise ship before.
Shirley became the oldest contestant among her younger “sisters”. Shirley laughingly said: “I actually feel young because I had a lot of different jobs during the past seven years. It was fulfilling. It only feels like two or three years time. I received a lot of supports from friends and that made me very happy. So, if I have a daughter, I would tell her to compete in pageants. Besides learning a lot of things, you can discover your potential.”
The reporter told Suki that she didn’t stand out. She responded and said: “They (other “sisters”) are of very high class!” She revealed that this year she wants to nominate people. She wants to nominate a friend from high school. Suki said: “This friend of mine was very pretty when was in school. She is still pretty right now so it shouldn’t go to waste. Also, she would ask me about the pageant. (“Who is prettier?”) We have a different type of beauty. I am more demure and she is more stereotypically pretty. She has a lot of people interested in her.”
Mandy has never been on a cruise ship and she joked that she wants to join the Miss Hong Kong pageant again before she passes the age limit. She is confident that she can win again. She gave it some more thought and decided that it was an unforgettable experience and a one time experience was enough for her. She should leave the chance for others. Some people asked her to nominate her sister but she said that people had different goals. Her sister loves to sing and she signed a contract with i-Cable. Mandy said: “My friends said that I became happier and had more confidence after I joined the pageant. So if they are within the age limits, they would join it.”
Yesterday was April’s Fool day and Aimee’s birthday. So the organizers had a birthday cake for her but they didn’t forget to fool her. First, they gave the cake to Shermon Tang and sang the birthday song. After they finished singing the song, they revealed the cake was actually for the real birthday girl, Aimee. Aimee happily said: “All these years, I was fooled twice. Besides this time, the other time was last year. I received a call from a friend wishing me a happy birthday. But she told me she had broken her leg in an accident and was calling me from the hospital. She stopped talking for 20 seconds before laughing out loud. I found out then that I was fooled. Actually I like to be fooled because people will be happy about it.” Yesterday, after the promotional event, she went back to TVB to take pictures for the weekly magazine. She wasn’t unhappy about it and feels that working on your birthday brings you good luck. This means she would have work throughout the year. Her birthday wish is to film more series and her acting skills to improve. Her fans organized a birthday party for her and gave her lots of presents including candy, photo albums and such. But she was most happy to received birthday wishes from her friends.
黃宗澤 關楚耀想行泳褲騷 趁機演身材
【本報訊】（記者 黃佩麗）黃宗澤和關楚耀(見圖)昨日為西武示範最新的春夏男裝，不過關楚耀未知是否太過緊張，一出場就行錯路，場面尷尬。關楚耀表示自己只是想扮Cool，又說今次行騷有一個突破，就是露腳毛，並指自己毛髮旺盛，很有男人味。
提到大會原本安排了同公司的孫耀威出席，但因為對方病了才由他「執二攤」，他表示一點都不介意，因為有工作已經很開心，他亦有發短訊慰問對方。問到酬勞是否不一樣？他說：「不知道，也不會計較，他們平時都贊助我好多，不過剛才見到些泳褲，下次會自薦行泳褲騷，因為我最近減肥成功，現在得120磅，身材好fit。」
黃宗澤同樣不抗拒接三角褲騷，不過就有少少驚，所以要把自己操得更fit才可見人，他笑言最重要是有錢賺，如果接多點三角褲騷就可以買樓，他又不介意常行騷。問到是否要很多酬勞才肯行三角褲騷？他笑說：「錢都是由公司處理，酌量加點就可以，做人不可以太貪心，要知足常樂。」

Bosco Wong & Kelvin Kwan Wants to Do Swimwear Shows to Show Off Body
Yesterday, Bosco Wong and Kelvin Kwan showed off the Spring/Summer collection of Seibu men’s clothing. Maybe Kelvin was nervous because he had missteps at the start of the show. It was an embarrassing situation. Kelvin expressed that he wanted to be cool. This show was a breakthrough because he showed his leg hair. He pointed out he had a lot of leg hair which was very masculine.
The reporter mentioned the organizers originally planned to have Eric Suen. But Eric was sick so Kelvin filled in for him. Kelvin said that he didn’t mind because he was happy to get work. He sent a SMS to wish him well already. The reporter asked if he was paid the same. He said: “I don’t know but I don’t mind. They often sponsor me a lot. I just saw some swimming trunks so I would recommend myself to do a show wearing it. Recently I was successful in losing weight and right now I am only 120 pounds. My body is fit.”
Bosco was also not against doing shows wearing bikini bottoms. But he would be a little scared so he needs to have a fitter body before he shows anyone. He joked that money is most important. If he can get more money to buy an apartment flat by doing bikini shows then he doesn’t mind wearing bikini shows. The reporter asked if he would do bikini shows only if the pay was high. Bosco said: “TVB deals with the money. If it increased slightly, it would be enough. You can’t be too greedy. Happy is he who is content.”
