The Edison Chronicles: Cecilia’s Turn

Thursday. 31 January. 2008. 9:04 am

Another photo hits Hong Kong and turns the city upside down.

Another sexy photo has turned up in the Hong Kong press, this time “reportedly” of Cecilia Cheung (張栢芝) – the wife of Nicholas Tse and the mother of his baby. Maybe we were a bit too quick to label these fakes, as this starts to get out of control with this shocking pose and we’re betting more of them are going to turn up before next week’s Chinese New Year holiday.

The new theory is that Edison Chen took his PC to get repaired and someone there grabbed the photos off the hard disk drive! If this is true this can be easily back traced to the culprit in short time.

Watch out Paris, Hong Kong celebs will beat you at your own game! More as this develops!

UPDATE 1 FEB: Wow, this is big news, eh? Edison’s face is on every single newspaper and magazine around Hong Kong. We hear he’s in Vancouver right now to escape the publicity. But we saw his smiling mug all over the Causeway Bay MTR promoting EPS!

As of today, its seems the cops have caught the 29-year old New Territories guy who’s been sending these photos online. Is he really the culprit, or just a patsy?  The cops did find 12 new unpublished photos on this guy’s computer so this may be it!

What really gets us is that the Hong Kong Police think they can get the photos off the internet by calling a few ISP’s:

Responding to media questions, Yam said they were still trying to determine whether the pictures were real or fakes. He said if the pictures were found in servers overseas, they would call on international enforcement agencies to get involved and contact the relevant service providers. 

OK we’ll continue to follow this exciting and illicit celebrity scandal in the coming days since it seems so many of our readers want to see what happens next.

This is a promotion you have to love. While most places are going to overcharge you for a table for 2, DiVino’s on Wyndham Street in SoHo and luxury lingerie shop Jillian’s are teaming up for a Valentine’s Day you won’t forget. Jazzy tunes and a display of provocative lingerie range that is going to either make you feel happy to see skimpy-dressed models or even more lonely that you aren’t with a significant other.

The event is enhanced by DiVino’s famous “Aperitif Moment” which will, for one night only, feature Oysters and Champagne. And even a lucky draw for champagne and a gift voucher at Jillian’s.

If you’re free on that Thursday night you could should drop by. And to give you an idea of the proximity between you and the models, if you’ve never been to DiVino’s have a look at the photo of the place below, we think you’d best get their early for the event!

The Edison and Gillian Scandal

Wednesday. 30 January. 2008. 9:08 am

The biggest Hong Kong entertainment story of the year.

By now if you have eyes and ears or just an internet connection you’ve read/seen/experienced one of the biggest sex photo scandals in Hong Kong starring actor/singer/clothing designer Edison Chen (陳冠希) and Twins star Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐). If not, you can read it in English here (if you want to see the NSFW photos Google it).

Our take: the photos are fake! We’ve seen tons of these with American celebs to know when it’s been faked. All we can say is that we are finally seeing some local talent in Photoshop, unfortunately its for breaking the law, but hey, what else were you going to talk about during Chinese New Year anyway?

UPDATE 1 FEB: OK we know when we’re wrong, we’re 98% sure these photos are real now and that our buddy Edison must have forgot he had them on his pink MacBook when he took it into the shop to get fixed.

For those of you reading this not from Hong Kong, Taiwan or China – Edison is like our Justin Timberlake and Gillian is like our Mandy Moore. So imagine what would happen if photos like these leaked out in the U.S. And we now know these weren’t used for blackmail so we’re still awaiting more news.
