#SHOWBIZ: Aaron Kwok celebrates baby boy news with no-limit credit card for wife
According to a recent report by East Week, the 59-year-old Cantopop legend upgraded his wife Moka Fang's supplementary credit card to an unlimited one after learning they're expecting their third child – and it might be a boy.
If confirmed, Kwok would be the first among the Four Heavenly Kings to have a son; Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and Leon Lai are all fathers to daughters. Kwok already has two girls, Chantalle and Charlotte, aged seven and five respectively.
Netizens have been quick to congratulate Kwok, with many expressing hopes that his first son will inherit his good looks.
One netizen quipped: "If my husband gave me an unlimited card just because I'm having a boy, we'd be having a very different conversation."
Kwok is scheduled to perform in Macau over three weekends this month. However, he reportedly plans to return home to Hong Kong after each show to be with Fang.

Hong Kong dancer Mo Li shares first image of his face since Mirror show accident
A Hong Kong dancer left paralysed after being struck by a giant screen at a concert by popular Cantopop boy band Mirror has partially revealed his face for the first time since the accident happened three years ago. Mo Li Kai-yin, 30, shared a few photos in an Instagram post on Wednesday night, including a half-body shot of him sitting in a white T-shirt, with a significant surgical scar near his collarbone from a tracheotomy. His facial features were playfully altered with a filter that magnified his eyes and mouth. 'It's me,' Li wrote in the post. 'I was so encouraged by something the daughter of a glasses shop owner said [on Tuesday]. I wanted to share a few recent small moments that have lifted my spirits and see if I can get some positive energy from all of you.' Li's post also featured items on his desk, pictures of a sunset and AI-generated cat images. The post was liked by about 38,000 Instagram users within 13 hours. Other artists, including Kay Tse On-kay and some members of the Hong Kong girl group Collar, also left comments. Li is currently receiving treatment overseas. The dancer suffered severe spinal injuries after a four-by-four-metre (13-by-13-foot) screen suspended over a stage fell and struck him and fellow performer Chang Tsz-fung during the band's concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum on July 28, 2022. The accident left Li at risk of being permanently paralysed from the neck down as a quadriplegic. His social media page was inactive for some time after the accident. His first post since the incident was made last December, in which he referred to his father, Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam, as possibly 'the only person who loves me this way'. In March, he shared an old video of himself teaching a dance class. 'I'm sure many of my students are much better than I was back then,' he commented. Li's girlfriend So Tsz-ching, a former Collar member, reposted the dancer's update to her Instagram story with the caption: 'If only I had half his strength.' - SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST

#SHOWBIZ: Actor Peter Lai, 75, searching for soul mate, estranged from son
HONG KONG: Veteran lyricist and actor Peter Lai, 75, recently opened up about his personal life in an interview with 8Days. The publication reported that Peter has a son from his previous marriage, which ended in 1992. He described his son as someone who "mooches off the elderly," revealing he had been helping him clear credit card debt amounting to hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars for about two years. Peter only managed to settle all his son's debts last month. He complained that his son ignores him and treats him "like a stranger." Peter confessed he is now looking for a soulmate for companionship, openly stating his intention to marry. "Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?" he remarked, referring to veteran actor Lee Lung Kei, 73, whose 36-year-old Chinese fiancée made headlines last year after being arrested for overstaying in Hong Kong. When asked if he was concerned about his son's future after he passed away, Peter calmly replied: "Let him fend for himself. When I'm gone, he can live under the bridge; he's not going to die, he can apply for public housing! He'll survive." Peter is renowned for co-writing the lyrics to many popular Cantopop songs in the 1970s and 80s alongside Sam Hui. These tracks include Leslie Cheung's 'Monica' and Sam's 'Susie of Tsim Sha Tsui'. In the 1990s, Peter went on to star in numerous TVB dramas until his contract with the broadcaster concluded in 2012.

HK lyricist Peter Lai, 75, wants a soulmate, says son treats him like a stranger
Hong Kong lyricist Peter Lai is on the lookout for a soulmate, with marriage in mind. Photo: China Press Hong Kong lyricist and actor Peter Lai recently opened up about his personal life, including his relationship with his son from a previous marriage that ended in 1992. In an interview with HK01, Lai, 75, described his son as someone who 'mooches off the elderly'. He revealed that he had spent over HK$100,000 (RM53,716) to fund the younger man's four-year Traditional Chinese Medicine studies in Nanjing – only for the latter to fail to graduate. 'He was just messing around. I'd bet 99% that's what happened, so he didn't graduate. It was a waste of time and money… But whatever, that's all in the past now,' he said. Despite the disappointment, Lai continued to help his son pay off his credit card debts over the past two years. He cleared the full amount last month. Lai then expressed frustration over his now 37-year-old son's lifestyle, saying the latter spends his days playing video games and rarely speaks to him. 'He doesn't even bother talking to me. We might as well be strangers,' he lamented. Given the circumstances, it's no surprise that Lai would feel lonely at times. He shared that he's now looking for a 'soulmate' and is openly putting himself out there, with marriage in mind. 'If Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?' he said. For context, Lee, 73, is a former TVB actor who made headlines in recent years for his relationship with his 37-year-old fiancee Chris Wong. When asked if he's concerned about his son's future after he's gone, Lai bluntly said his son can fend for himself. 'If I'm gone, he can sleep under a bridge. He's not going to die. He can just apply for public housing or something.' Lai is regarded as part of the pioneer generation of Cantopop lyricists in Hong Kong. He has written songs for some of the city's biggest stars – including Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam and more.
