SCMP Reporter

Canto-pop star Sammi Cheng Sau-man (above) has been admitted to Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital in Happy Valley.

According to an Eight Weekly  report, the 32-year-old star was earlier flown to the United States for medical treatment.

Cheng missed a press conference in Shanghai last Saturday  to announce her contract with record label East Asia.

The last-minute cancellation cost the record company $500,000, the report added.

The magazine earlier reported  that Cheng was rumoured to be suffering from lymphatic cancer as well as  an emotional disorder.

The media is giving  Fiona Sit Hoi-ki a hard time.

Apart from criticising her 'arrogance', reports have accused the teenage star of being  a lesbian.

But  she was recently seen shopping in Causeway Bay with a  tall, charming  man who looked like TV actor Moses Chan Ho.

Eight Weekly  followed the couple  and caught them in an intimate pose in a quiet record shop.

The couple fled when they saw they were being followed by the paparazzi. Sit's manager said she was not aware of the artiste having any new lover.

Canto-pop star Leon Lai Ming is said to have bought a Mini Cooper S to cheer up his  rumoured girlfriend,  Kate Tsui Tsz-shan (right).

It was said that Tsui - the reigning Miss Hong Kong - dumped her boyfriend for Lai after the two  shot  a mobile phone commercial together.

Although the pair have never admitted their relationship, Lai's van was recently spotted near Tsui's home in Tseung Kwan O.

But the singer sped off after  he saw the reporters.

According to Oriental Sunday, Tsui, who used to take the MTR to work, has been showing off her new car - which cost $200,000  - to her friends.

The media  speculated that Lai bought the car because Tsui could not have afforded it.

Model Kathy Chow Man-kei (right) is rumoured to  be looking for a rich boyfriend after breaking up with  singer Alex To.

According to a  Oriental Sunday report, Chow attended the opening  of a jewellery shop in Shanghai last week.

She caught  the attention of a rich and overweight businessman, who introduced her to his wealthy friends.

When asked later, Chow strongly denied that she was shopping for a rich man.

Chow splashes out on dream house

Stephen Chow Sing-chi (right) once said that he grew up in a poor family. His mother raised three children on her own, and the family lived in a very small room.

Maybe that's why he has spared no expense with his four-storey luxury residence on the Peak, which has been undergoing renovations since mid-2003.

A  Oriental Sunday reporter checked out the house and found that renovations are almost complete. A hi-tech security system, which includes a fingerprint detector, has been installed. The exterior of the

house is covered in bullet-proof  glass imported from Germany.
