TV celebrity Chu Yan has apologised to Leon Lai Ming for causing him unnecessary trouble. Word has its that Chu is the source of a rumour that Lai is her suitor, but actually she is dating publisher Ngai Chan, whose name has been romantically linked to several actresses, including Vivian Chow and Michelle Reis.
Chu denied the claims and said if she was really dating someone, she would admit it.

Singer Andy Hui Chi-on may hold two concerts at the Hongkong Cultural Centre. Hui said staging concerts at the Hongkong Coliseum was every singer's dream, but he was not quite up to it yet. His debut Mandarin album will be released in Taiwan soon.
Singer Pang Kar-lai once thought of changing fields since her career was not getting anywhere. Being the daughter of an immigration officer and sister to a policewoman, Pang wanted to be an auxiliary policewoman.
