Two discarded HKFA trophies found at waste management centre
27 Jan - Director Alex Cheung recently expressed his surprise over a viral photo of two discarded Hong Kong Film Awards' trophies that were found at a waste management facility.
Sharing the photo of the two trophies, Alex posted, "The Hong Kong Film Awards is the highest honour for each of us filmmakers. I also participated in the voting for the HKFA, but I saw the post from a Facebook friend saying that two discarded trophies were picked up at the transfer station."
Upon inspection, some netizens commented that the trophy on the left of the photo was the award for Best Costume for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was won by the late art director Bruce Yu.
Many took to the comments to share their thoughts, with one suggesting that Bruce's family might have thrown it away so not to feel sad seeing it following his passing.
Meanwhile, others said that the way it was discarded seemed to suggest otherwise.
However, most of them believe that everything happened for a reason and that the two trophies should be sent to an archive or a museum to be preserved.
Bruce, who was also a costume designer, passed away in 2022. He was a 23-time nominee and 4-time winner of the Hong Kong Film Award and had worked on films like "The Mermaid", "Mulan: Warrior Princess", "Yesterday Once More" and "The Four" among others.

What Happened to Weston? 16 and Pregnant Star Whitney Purvis' Son Passes Away
Former MTV reality star Whitney Purvis announced the tragic death of her son, Weston Owen Gosa Jr., who died at age 16. Purvis, who appeared on 16 and Pregnant in 2009, shared the devastating news Monday, June 2, on social media. Whitney Purvis is heartbroken over the demise of her son, Weston. The 16 and Pregnant star wrote on her emotional Facebook post, 'This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair. I just dont understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don't know what to do with myself.' Purvis further wrote that her 'worst nightmare' has come true. She shared, 'How do you go on in life after losing a child? I'm in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don't want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can't describe the pain I am feeling.' The mother of two concluded the post, writing, 'I love you so much, Weston Owen Gosa. God, I love you so much. You are my heart. I was so proud of the young man you were becoming. I just can't go on without you. Rest in Peace, my angel. You are gone too soon. April 2, 2009 – June 2, 2025.' While Purvis did not reveal the cause of her son's death, Weston's stepmother, Amy Gosa, revealed in a separate Facebook post that they would be conducting an autopsy to ascertain the cause of death. Gosa also disclosed that the family found Weston at 7 am in the morning and 'tried to wake him up.' She stated, 'He was not breathing; we attempted CPR and called an ambulance. The paramedics attempted it as well and took him to the hospital in Gordon County, where he was pronounced dead. He had several health issues as well as diabetes.' Viewers of 16 and Pregnant are probably aware of the birth story of Weston Junior. The former MTV star's son was born on a prom night. Later, Purvis revealed that she went through a C-section. After Weston, Purvis welcomed her second son in 2014 with ex-boyfriend Weston Lewis Gosa (via US Weekly).

'John Redcorn' Actor Jonathan Joss' Husband Issues Heartbreaking Statement
The husband of Jonathan Joss is opening up about the actor's shooting death in a heartbreaking statement. Joss was the voice of popular characters on two television series, King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation. He voiced the character of John Redcorn on the former show, and he played Chief Ken Hotate on the latter. San Antonio police confirmed to CNN that Joss was shot to death on June 1 in San Antonio, TX. According to KSAT-TV, the suspect, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, was booked into the jail and accused of murder. The television station reported that, according to neighbors, Joss "had an ongoing dispute with the man accused of killing him." Now, Joss's husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales has written a lengthy post on Joss's Facebook page. In it, Joss's husband made a series of accusations of how the shooting went down, including an allegation that the shooting was motivated by the couple's relationship. He also detailed his love for Joss. "My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down," he started the June 2 post. He wrote that the couple had reported "threats" they received "to law enforcement many times and nothing was done." Right before the shooting, he wrote, "When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw." He wrote that Joss saved his life, alleging, "When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life." "Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future,"' the post says. He added, "I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family." Joss's husband continued: "My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together."'John Redcorn' Actor Jonathan Joss' Husband Issues Heartbreaking Statement first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 3, 2025

Millennials' Parents Are SUPER Addicted To Their Phones
Recently, Reddit user Edyeahhh asked, "Are all of our parents addicted to their phones?" "My parents are in town visiting, and I am floored by their smartphone usage. My mom scrolls Facebook for HOURS, and my dad gets entranced by TikTok with the volume on full blast. It's become so unsettling that I've deleted my own TikTok. Are everyone else's parents addicted to their phones?" The topic really hit home for some people, and they had A LOT to say in the comments. Here are some of the best replies: "My father used to be such an interesting, intelligent guy with multiple hobbies — painting, playing instruments, tinkering around making weird robots. Now he just stares at his phone and shows me the cringiest, most unfunny memes. It's actually kind of sad how he's a shell of a person because he spends 90% of his time on Facebook." —suzeerbedrol "It kills me how their phone volume is always on FULL blast. Yet they say we are the addicted ones. 🙄" "My dad actually tries to Google things WHILE DRIVING because a random thought popped into his head." —Prestigious-Disk-246 "My mom isn't too bad, but my father is glued to Twitter. This was a man who would physically unplug our desktop computer when we were kids because we were spending too much time on it. Now, he barely acknowledges me when I talk to him." "My mom invited all the kids and grandkids over for her birthday weekend a couple of years ago, and she spent 95% of the time on her phone. It was ridiculous." "My dad uses his laptop instead of his phone, but at least he closes it when there are other things going on."—noyoujump "My dad endlessly texts in his family group chat with his sisters, just sharing pictures and memes. And my mother is a speakerphone boomer. I could be visiting from out of town and having a nice family dinner, and she'll answer her phone and have a whole ass conversation on speaker phone. These are the same people who would yell at me for leaving the table to answer the phone when I was in junior high. It's insanity." "My dad watches YouTube on autoplay for like 12 hours a day." —tytanium315 "I blocked my dad on all social media because I was getting a dozen dumb memes from him a day on Facebook and Instagram. It got too overwhelming." "I see my folks once every two years or so. I spend the whole week watching my stepdad watch YouTube and my mom play Candy Crush for hours while the the TV is on in the background." —Darmok-And-Jihad "Just wait until they start sending you AI slop they generate after discovering ChatGPT. An uncanny valley likeness of your kid flying around in a Superman costume that you'll never be able to unsee — great!" "My dad came to visit my family for a few days a little over a year ago. I think his phone was in his hand 90% of the time he was awake. Even when he was asleep in the guest room, I could hear his phone blasting videos until it died. It was really disappointing, especially since I thought he would want to do more with his grandchildren." —Telemachus826 "My mom never used to have a smartphone; she was the proud owner of a flip phone for the longest time. But she recently got a smartphone because her doctor recommended an app to monitor her diabetes and blood sugar levels. I've noticed her slowly becoming addicted to her phone now. Meanwhile, my dad is addicted to his iPad." "I think it makes sense that addiction finds a stronger root in brains that are either developing or declining. That's why this is a more pronounced problem for children and the elderly. I totally agree that we are ALL overly addicted to our phones though. It's such a bad problem." —LAM24601 Thankfully, not all parents are addicted to their phones: "Neither of my parents have social media. My dad uses his phone a lot, but it's mostly reading the news or sports." —TrickyOperation6115 "My mom still has a landline. Her cell is a flip phone that she only uses like once a month." And finally, this person found a good balance between phone usage and real life that we should all strive for: "It's weird. When I'm alone, my phone is like this everlasting crack pipe. But the moment I'm with friends or family, I really don't check it that much." —pwolf1771 H/T r/Millennials
