Hacken Lee denies helping Gigi Yim to develop in China
12 Aug - Hacken Lee has recently dismissed the rumour that he is working on paving a way for Gigi Yim to sign with a new company so that she can develop her career in mainland China. As reported on Mingpao, the singer, who spoke to the media during an appearance at a TVB charity event, was asked to address the rumours, to which he expressed surprise and stated that Gigi's future has nothing to do with him. It is noted that Hacken was the coaching supervisor of "Stars Academy", of which Gigi was the winner for season 1. "We are with different companies. Stars Academy is like one big family. Tonight, I saw several students gather and perform together. They've all improved a lot and look even better," he said. "As for Gigi, we occasionally exchange messages, but I'm not involved in anything about her future. Everyone has their path to follow. I'm not her family, and she hasn't asked for my opinion, so it's none of my business. I also asked the boss, and it's not his business either," he said. (Photo Source: Hacken IG, Gigi IG, On CC)

Alex Fong: I never said I didn't want a daughter!
7 Aug - Alex Fong recently admitted that he had been spending some time putting out fires after he was blasted for his supposed preference of having a son instead of a daughter. As reported on Mingpao, the actor, who recently announced that he is having a daughter at his concert in mainland China, shared that a lot of people misconstrued his words, including the mums of his swimming students, as well as his own wife. It is noted that during the previous concert, Alex showed a video of him and his wife finding out the gender of the baby, and then exclaimed, "I can't accept this reality. I was convinced it was a boy. This has completely shocked me!" Alex clarified that he actually loves the idea of having a daughter, but on the day of the gender reveal, he thought it was going to be a boy and didn't want his wife to worry that he was disappointed. "So I told my wife, 'Don't worry about me. I really like sons,'" he said. He explained that the unexpected reveal caused him to shout "I can't accept this reality" in the heat of the moment. He also blamed media outlets for using clickbait headlines that made the situation worse. Alex also joked that the whole thing nearly drove him to the brink of "family crisis". On the other hand, the actor said that his wife Maple is now five months pregnant, and that he plans to be there with her in the delivery room when the time comes. (Photo Source: Alex IG, SOHU)
