Speculation ran riot when retired singer Charlie Young appeared in a photo shoot for a hair salon that she might be staging a comeback into showbiz.
Fuel was added to the fire with rumours that Young's image consultancy business in Malaysia was hit by the region's economic crisis.
Young vehemently denied she was returning to the fold.
'My business and my life are going very well. The photo shoot is only for my company.' Former Miss Hong Kong Amy Kwok Hoi-ming and actor Lau Ching-wan tied the knot last week after a six-year romance.
It seemed the long engagement was worth the wait.
Lau spared no cost in his public declaration of love, hiring a Rolls-Royce to take his wife to the marriage registry at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The wedding banquet at a five-star hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui must also have cost him an arm and a leg.
Lau said they were not yet planning to start a family because of his tight movie schedule.
