#SHOWBIZ: HK star Linda Chung recounts painful childbirth experience
HONG KONG: Canadian actress Linda Chung has been happily married to chiropractor Jeremy Leung since 2015, and they have three children together: Kelly, eight, Jared, six, and Anika, two. In a recent interview on Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng's online programme, Chung shared that getting married and having a family had been her dream since she was young. "After entering the entertainment industry, that dream kept getting pushed back," the 41-year-old said. "At one point, I even thought I might never get married." Chung, who is based in Hong Kong, also spoke about her first pregnancy, revealing that the biggest struggle was dealing with the hormonal changes in her body. "Although I looked slim, some parts of my body became swollen and painful," the former TVB star said. The actress then explained why she chose a natural birth over a caesarean section. "I wanted to experience what my mum went through when she gave birth to me," she said. Chung revealed that the recovery was gruelling as she had torn badly. "I struggled to walk afterwards," she added. Still, enduring the physical pain made her realise just how strong she was. For her second and third children, Chung took an even bolder step, opting for home births. Inspired by other parents, she thoroughly researched the process and adjusted her diet to prepare. Her efforts paid off, as she said: "No stitches were needed then. I could walk right away, and the wound healed well."

Tavia Yeung joins Raymond Lam's concert crowd, ends night with bus ride to hotpot
HONG KONG: Hong Kong singer-actor Raymond Lam is one fortunate dude. His Hong Kong Coliseum concert wasn't just about awesome guest artists like his former co-star Linda Chung; he also had a huge crew of his famous pals there, totally rallying behind him, according to The Star. Talk about a great support system. Photo: Instagram/Tavia Yeung Out of all the people there on one of his concert nights, Tavia Yeung, a former TVB actress, was definitely among them. Long-time friends Yeung and Lam's friendship goes way back – almost 25 years, actually! They've been pals ever since they graduated from TVB's 13th acting class together. Their class really showed up in full force at the concert! We spotted so many familiar faces—Mat Yeung, Tsui Wing, Meini Cheung, Raymond Chiu, Jones Lee, Bond Chan, and Olivia Fu were all there too. It felt like a proper reunion. Apparently, Yeung was spotted at Lam's concert with some of her former classmates. And it's not surprising they're so close, considering they've actually acted together in a bunch of TVB dramas, including Golden Faith , Twin Of Brothers , Face To Fate , and The Mysteries Of Love. According to , Lam recognised Yeung in the crowd when she exclaimed, 'See you at hotpot later!' See also Moses Chan makes SGD5.2 million a year at TVB Hotpot after the concert And just like she said, fans later saw the actress going for hotpot after the and her friends took a public bus to their destination. She was actually wearing a purple face mask, but that didn't stop passengers on the bus from recognising her. Then, to make things even better, she posted a photo on Instagram showing her and her friends on their bus journey. 'What a night to remember! Lam's concert was incredible—he really gave it his all. And as if that wasn't enough, we headed straight to Tsui Wing's afterward for some mouthwatering hotpot. Seriously, it felt like Lam actually put together a full-on Hong Kong Coliseum reunion specifically for our 13th intake So special.' It was not certain if Lam joined Yeung for hotpot post-concert. It's actually not that surprising, given that Yeung has celebrated her birthday with her old TVB acting classmates before, instead of with her husband, actor Him Law. Tavia Yeung Sin-yiu (born August 30, 1979), also previously known as Tavia Yeung Yi, is a Hong Kong actress. She began her career after graduating from TVB's acting classes in 1999, initially appearing in music videos and as an extra in TV dramas. She gained recognition for her supporting role in Vigilante Force (2003), earning the TVB Anniversary Award for Most Improved Female Artiste. Notable works Her notable works include Moonlight Resonance (2008), Beyond the Realm of Conscience (2009), The Mysteries of Love (2010), The Hippocratic Crush (2012), and S ilver Spoon, Sterling Shackles (2012).

Philip Ng, 47, confirms his romantic relationship with 34 y/o model Renee Li
HONG KONG: It seems Philip Ng, the Hong Kong-American actor who was once romantically involved with TVB's Linda Chung, has found someone new. As reported in The Star, the 47-year-old made his relationship with model Renee Li official on Wednesday. This happened just a day after eagle-eyed fans spotted them together at Raymond Lam's concert. Photo: Instagram/Renee Li The actor was previously seen with a younger woman at a theme park, according to Oriental Daily . Although Ng, the actor from last year's Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In , had already been seen with Li, he was still being cautious with reporters. He confirmed he was 'getting to know' someone, but kept her identity a secret at that point. It seems he wanted to take his time before officially announcing things. Met through mutual friends Ng told the Hong Kong media how he actually met Renee Li. Apparently, it was through a friend they both know. He also confirmed that Renee, who's 34, making her 13 years younger than him, was the same woman he was spotted with at the theme park before all this news came out. He said they were introduced recently and just started dating. He hopes that everyone can give the couple time and space, and he thanked everyone. In 2011, Li joined the entertainment industry. In addition to presenting several ViuTV shows over the years, she has starred in films such as Magic To Win (2011) and Detective (2013). Secretly dated for eight years For context, Ng and Linda Chung secretly dated for eight years. They had to keep it quiet because of their careers at the time. Later, Linda married Jeremy Leung, and they have two children together. Philip Ng, also known as Ng Wan-lung, is interesting because he's got roots in both Hong Kong and America. He was born in Hong Kong in September 1977, but his family moved to the States when he was young, so he's considered both a Hong Kong and an American actor. Master of various martial arts He is a master of various martial arts, including Wing Chun Kung Fu (trained under the late Sifu Wong Shun-leung), Choy Li Fut Kung Fu (trained by his father, Sam Ng), Hung Gar Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Jujutsu, and Escrima. Ng is talented both in front of and behind the camera when it comes to action. He's a skilled fight choreographer, which makes sense with his martial arts background. Fun fact: he even started a Wing Chun club at his university in the US called the Illini Wing Chun Association. Then, in 2002, he decided to come back to Hong Kong to pursue his dreams of acting and choreographing action for movies and TV. Some of his notable films include Twilight Of The Warriors: Walled In (2024), Birth of the Dragon (2016, where he played Bruce Lee), Once Upon a Time in Shanghai (2014), and Invisible Target (2007). He has also appeared in TV series such as A Fist Within Four Walls (2016) and The Righteous Fists (2022).
