#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 sues 12 parties for damages over Mirror concert accident
A Hong Kong dancer left paralysed after being hit by a falling giant screen at a concert by popular Cantopop boy band Mirror in 2022 is suing a government department and 11 other parties involved in the show's production for an undisclosed amount of compensation. The defendants have been accused of negligence and breaching their duty of care. Among those named in the claims are the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, a contractor it hired, and a Guangdong-based stage production house, according to writs filed to the High Court this month. Injured dancer Mo Li Kai-yin, 30, was left paralysed from the neck down in the accident at the Hong Kong Coliseum, operated by the department, and is currently receiving treatment overseas. Li, represented by his lawyers, filed three writs, claiming damages 'for the catastrophic personal injuries, loss and damage' he sustained on July 28, 2022 while working as a dancer at the Mirror concert. During the show, a 500kg (1,100lbs) LED screen measuring four metres (13 feet) by four metres and suspended from the ceiling suddenly fell and hit Li. Another dancer, Chang Tsz-fung, was left with a fractured pelvis. Following the accident, backstage lights did not turn on immediately, complicating rescue efforts. Mirror members, who were wearing monitoring headsets, were unable to react in time. Investigations revealed that the main contractor misreported the weights of the equipment and components. The writs said the incident was 'contributed to by the negligence and/or breach of duty of care' on the part of the defendants. Seven defendants are listed in the first writ, including the director of leisure and cultural services and Fugro (Hong Kong), which was engaged by the department to provide vetting services for the event. The other five defendants are Engineering Impact, Infinity Project Management, Hip Hing Loong Stage Engineering, United Technical Services, and C.A.N.I. Four other production companies were listed in the second writ. They are Li's employer, Studiodanz, The Clan Too, Hong Kong Innotech Media Production, and In Technical Productions. Dongguan Yaolong Stage Production has been sued for damages under a separate writ. It is based in Changping township in Guangdong province's Dongguan city. A spokesman for the department said: 'As there is an intended claim against the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, no comments will be given on this matter at this stage.' The District Court in May acquitted three backstage staff from Engineering Impact and Infinity Project Management of conspiracy to defraud authorities after it found they lacked a motive to deliberately understate the weight of stage equipment, including the giant screen that collapsed. The court also found that instead of the false data, it was inferior standards of work, shoddy stage design and an engineer's negligence in vetting the set-up that were to blame for the collapse. Last week, Li shared a filtered photo of himself for the first time on his Instagram account since the accident three years ago. The filter playfully altered his facial features. The half-body shot of him sitting in a white T-shirt also showed what looked like a surgical scar near his collarbone from a tracheotomy. 'It's me,' Li wrote in the post. '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.' - SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST

Chen's concert was the grand finale of her 10-show 'Season 2 Live In Hong Kong 2025' concert series. On stage, Remus, 52, shared that Kelly Chen was the first person to message him after he revealed in October 2024 on social media that he had undergone an operation to remove a brain tumour. "Kelly said she was very worried about me and that the large scar on my head broke her heart," Remus said. "She hoped I would recover soon and cheered me on, even complimenting me on how good I looked with a bald head." Remus has been openly documenting his recovery journey on social media since his surgery, sharing videos of himself working out in the gym in recent months. Most recently, on July 22, he posted a photo of himself in the recording studio.

Photo: Kelly Chen/Instagram Singer Remus Choy of Hong Kong pop group Grasshopper has returned to the stage on July 27, performing for the first time since his brain surgery in October 2024. Grasshopper was the guest performers at Hong Kong singer Kelly Chen's concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. The Cantopop trio comprise, Remus Choy, 58, his brother Calvin Choy, 60, and Edmond So, 59. The Grasshopper members and Chen, who all dressed in white, performed the fast-paced songs Beat The Heat Wou Bom Ba (1993) and Open The Sky (1995). Calvin looked to be in great shape as he sang and danced on stage. Chen's concert on July 27 was the final night of her 10-show Season 2 Live In Hong Kong 2025 concert series. The show was originally scheduled to be held on July 20, but it was postponed by a week due to Typhoon Wipha. Remus said on stage that Chen, 52, was the first person to message him after he dropped a bombshell in October 2024, when he disclosed on social media that he had gone for an operation to remove a brain tumour. His post then was accompanied by two photos: a selfie of himself with a shaved head and a close-up shot of the long surgery scar on his scalp. 'Kelly said she was very worried about me and the large scar on my head broke her heart,' Remus said. 'She hoped I would recover soon and cheered me on, even complimenting me on how good I looked with a bald head.' Remus said Grasshopper has watched Chen's career progress since her debut in 1995. He added that their last collaboration was about 10 years ago, when she was a guest performer at Grasshopper's concert. The Cantopop trio also performed its new song, Lou Dik Lat (which means Old Is Spicy in Cantonese), at Chen's concert. Remus also took the opportunity to announce that they would be holding a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in April 2026, and would invite Chen to be its guest performer. Remus has been charting his recovery on social media since his surgery. He has shared videos of himself working out in the gym in recent months. He posted on July 22 a photo of himself in the recording studio, writing that a new song was coming soon. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
