Katy Kung denies rumours of frequenting racecourse to 'hunt for a rich husband'
Popular Hong Kong actress Katy Kung has broken her silence on the rumours claiming she has been frequenting a racecourse in search of a wealthy partner.
The speculation surfaced after several netizens noted her repeated appearances at the venue, with some even suggesting that she might be facing a slowdown in her acting career and is currently 'hunting for a rich husband'.
Despite winning Best Actress at the TVB Anniversary Awards last year, Kung, 35, is rumoured to have received no new job offers in the past eight months and only has one remaining drama left to air with TVB.
In an interview with Hong Kong news outlet HK01, Kung firmly dismissed the accusations, emphasising that her recent visit to the racecourse was simply to support a close friend.
When asked if her friend had tried to introduce her to any potential suitors, the Big Biz Duel (2024) star brushed off the idea, adding that she's in no rush to find love.
'We rarely talk about such things,' she said.
Kung also rubbished rumours that she's out of work, making it clear that she continues to receive numerous offers.
She added that many brands have approached her since her Best Actress win, and she's currently enjoying some downtime before committing to new projects.

Ex-TVB star Felix Wong quits acting after wife's death, says he's unemployed now
Hong Kong star Felix Wong Yat-wah stepped away from acting following the passing of his wife, actress Leung Kit-wah, in 2020. Photos: China Press Hong Kong singer-actor Felix Wong Yat-wah was one of the city's biggest teen idols in the 1980s, earning the nickname 'Third Tiger' as part of TVB's Five Tiger Generals alongside Michael Miu, Kent Tong, Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai. Over the years, the 63-year-old has starred in dramas such as Demi-Gods And Semi-Devils (1982), The Legend Of The Condor Heroes (1983), Looking Back In Anger (1989) and more. However, he stepped away from acting after the passing of his wife, actress Leung Kit-wah, who died of organ failure in 2020. She was 59. In a previous interview on actress Lee San-san's online programme, Wong described Leung as his 'No.1 fan' who often gave feedback on his performances. 'I only improved because of her sharp analytical skills. Now that she's gone and can no longer see me act, what's the point of continuing?' he said at that time. Recently, a netizen posted a video of Wong on Xiaohongshu, noting that the former TVB star has been unemployed for some time. His last listed work on IMDB is the 2023 short film A League Of Their Own . 'Mr Wong says he's unemployed, but he still has savings and is doing his best,' the netizen wrote in the caption. In the clip, Wong was seen signing autographs and asking a fan if they had opened their gift. It's reported that he still spends part of his savings to buy gifts for his supporters. These days, Wong spends much of his time with Hong Kong's Celebrity Football Team, often travelling to mainland China for matches. He also accepts occasional singing gigs, most recently appearing as a guest performer at a concert in Hong Kong.

Judge Frank Caprio, viral for courtroom compassion, dies at 88
WASHINGTON: Frank Caprio, a United States judge who became an internet sensation for his compassion and courteous demeanour in court, has died at 88. His family announced the news on social media, describing his peaceful passing surrounded by loved ones. The retired Rhode Island judge served on the bench for nearly four decades before retiring in 2023. He became widely known for his lenient approach to minor infractions and sympathetic treatment of defendants. 'It is with profound sadness that I share the news that my father Judge Frank Caprio passed away today, peacefully surrounded by family and friends after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer,' his son David Caprio said in a video posted on the judge's Instagram account Wednesday. His family's statement celebrated him as 'beloved around the world for his deep compassion, humility, and unwavering faith in the goodness of people'. They also called him an 'example of humanity' whose legacy extends far beyond the courtroom. Caprio had posted a video on Tuesday from his hospital bed asking for prayers after suffering a health 'setback'. His courtroom reality television show 'Caught in Providence,' which began in 2000, featured his interactions with defendants facing traffic violations and parking tickets. Clips from the show garnered tens of millions of views on social media, often showing him dismissing fines for struggling families or asking children to help decide their parents' punishments. He drew millions of followers on social media, who dubbed him 'the nicest judge in the world'. Caprio also wrote an autobiography titled 'Compassion in the Court: Life-Changing Stories from America's Nicest Judge'. Born in 1936 and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Caprio had worked multiple jobs including shining shoes and delivering newspapers. He attended Suffolk University School of Law in Boston at night while working as a school teacher. Caprio eventually served as Providence's municipal court chief judge from 1985 to 2023. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee praised Caprio as 'more than a jurist -- he was a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity'. The governor also ordered state flags to fly at half-staff in memory of the judge. 'He will be remembered not only as a respected judge, but as a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend,' his family said. – AFP
