Hacken has fun in answering rumours of his wife being pregnant

There have been rumours recently of Emily Lo being pregnant. When approached the other night (JSG awards), Hacken neither denied nor confirmed the rumours. Instead he told reporters to ask him next time. This makes one feel that the news has not been publicised as the baby is not yet 3 months and give more credibility to the reports.

The night before last, Hacken attended the first rounds of the 2007 JSG awards ceremony. The MC seized the chance to ask Hacken about the good news. Hacken didn't answer directly and instead started to promote his new album but joking that making an album was like making a little baby. The due date is around June or July. After Hacken went backstage, reporters once again asked him and he did not deny it outright. Instead he continued to joke about the day of birth being around June or July, and that the producers of his album were the doctor and anaesthetist. He said "People say that making an album is like giving birth. (Are you denying it?) I'll check later. I'll go to 7-11 and buy an iceblock (pregnancy test kit) and check. I've been busy recently so haven't had time to check." When asked if Hacken was worried that the baby was not yet 3 months and that was why he wasn't denying or confirming, Hacken sighed and said that the reporters couldn't write so much in one go and to ask him next time. And this gives the rumours more credibility.

Hacken's frieds are all encouraging him and he indicates that he is trying his best. He even passed the ball to Alan Tam saying that if there was good news then he would be the first one told. Hacken went on to say "Ask Alan. He's like half my dad and loves answering things for people. He's also great at it like as if he was acting a part, if I let him announce it then it would all be very happy." When it was pointed out that Hacken was taking half a year off to be with his wife, he answered that no matter when, work that has been organised must be done. He laughed that with his life, he couldn't take a holiday, and the recording and release date of the album was set a lont time ago. In other news, Kay Tse who was pregnant did not perform that night. She thanked everyone for being understanding and as she was almost approaching 8 months, she has been attending pregnancy classes and planning for the baby.

2007 JSG awards (first round)

The 2007 first round JSG awards were held in the Tseung Kwun Ou studio. Apart from the "top ten song" awards there was also a "most popular Chinese song" award. George Lam and Teresa Carpio are soon to be holding concerts, and they were invited as guest performers. The night's winners included Hacken Lee's "Prince Princess", Twins' "Loving for 6 Years", Kenny B's "Everyday is a Good Day", Stephy Tang's "Lightbulb", Alex Fong's "Big Little Heart", Ivana Wong's "Picture Meaning", Grasshoppers' "forever", AT17's "Same Soung Same Air", Kay Tse's "New Problems Arising", Eason Chan's "Under Mount Fuji", Denise Ho's and Juno's "The 3rd Person (love triangle)", and Stefanie Sun's "What I Miss" took home the most popular Chinese song award. Earlier there were reports that Hacken's wife was pregnant and that he was taking half a year off work to be with his wife. When asked if he was expecting a baby soon he joked that the baby would be born in June or July. Of course he was calling his new album his baby, as making an album was comparable to giving birth. The pregnant Kay Tse attended to accept her award, but did not perform. Kay was very happy about being a mum soon. And because after her album, she has been promoting a lot less due to the baby, she thanked everyone for their support in giving her the award.

MEDIA SPECIAL - hacken @ jsg first quarter awards 28/4/07

He looks really, really, really happy... =P

Hacken denies wife is pregnant and continues to work

There's recently been reports after Hacken Lee and Emily Lo tied the knot after a 15year relationship, his wife is now pregnant. This has made Hacken extremely nervous and he has decided to stop work for half a year to be with his wife. But yesterday, Hacken's assistant claimed that there was no such thing. So is Hacken worried about his baby not being 3 months yet and is concealing the news? Or is it just something the media concocted? Now we can only wait until Emily reveals herself before we can have an answer.

Yesterday the reports said that the newly married couple haven't yet told anyone but recently they have been successful (in getting pregnant). Reports go on to say that Emily was preparing well before the wedding. A year before marrying Hacken, she found a Chinese herbalist to make sure her body was in good health. And Hacken being excited about his wife getting pregnant has taken half a year off work to be with her.

Reports also indicated that Hacken was willing to give up several hundred thousand dollars of opportunities and decided to stop work for half a year. And even the album that was scheduled for October this year has been brought forward to be released in June. Even though he was invited to host "Minutes to Fame", because he needed more time for recording, he declined the job. Emily being pregnant could be possible as she usually accompanies Hacken when he goes to recording. These last two weeks, apart from work Hacken has always been at home with his wife. Last Saturday, Hacken went to the recording studio in Jordan and Emily was nowhere to be seen. This makes one wonder if Emily is trying to avoid the media.

To work out whether there was any truth to these reports, SingTao decided to call Hacken's assistant. The assistant said "Emily is not pregnant. The media is making up rubbish. Hacken is concentrating on recording his new album. (Reports say that because his wife is pregnant, Hacken has brought the release date forward to June?) Hacken is not stopping work, at the moment he is recording. And the album was meant to be scheduled for release in June in the first place. (Did Hacken decline job offeres?) No, Hacken recently went to mainland to film commercials. It's because he's been busy behind the scenes, that's why there's less appearances lately. These reports don't even have photos, what a joke!"

*GOSSIP* news about hacken & emily "expecting a baby"

scans credit to esthy@baidu forums

This week's Next Weekly published a front page cover screaming that Emily was pregnant. I'm not bothering translating the entire article as most of it is justifying why she's pregnant...(with the proof being that lui fong's concert, emily had her hand hovering near her stomach in one photo, and hacken was watching that she didn't hurt herself when they were going into the concert).

Seems the media is pretty crazy...

ent.tom reports: Hacken's assistant has denied these reports. "Emily is not pregnant, this news is crazy. Hacken is concentrating on his album." (But the gossip says Hacken has requested 6 months leave from the company for the baby?) "There's no such thing, he's currently recording, and the company will release his album in June" (So has Hacken rejected all other work?) "No! Hacken recently went to China to film ads. He hasn't appeared lately beacuse he's busy working, the entire magazine article is a joke"

So, word from the official camp is another fabricated story to make hacken fans buy the magazine. =)

Celebrities' first kisses (special feature - Kate Tsui)

Slow news month it seems! Not exactly news but something new -

When Hacken Lee was filming his MV for "Acrobats", he especially invited then-reigning Miss HK Kate Tsui to take part as the main female character. Kate Tsui also gave her first silver screen kiss to Hacken in this MV. In order to protect her image, as Kate was still reigning Miss HK at the time, the director asked for permission from Miss HK producer Chan Chi Lin before filming. As Hacken's image has always been healthy, there was no problem, and thus Kate's first silver screen kiss was given to Hacken.
　
In the MV, Kate only lightly kissed Hacken's cheek, meaning it was a very innocent kiss. During production Hacken joked that he understood Miss HKs had to take into account their open yet reserved image, and a light kiss was good enough. Reporters teased Hacken, asking if being kissed by a Miss HK had a special feeling? (Hacken's wife, Emily Lo, is a former Miss HK). He laughed and said reporters were 'fat sun ging' (crazy), and shouldn't take this view of things.

As for Kate Tsui, she replied that although this might be her first kiss on the silver screen, in America this was just a way of saying hello.

Andy Lau & the crazy fan saga

[blurb] Most followers of HK news would have heard of "crazy Andy fan" Yang Lijian by now - if you havent (long story cut short), she's been obsessed with Andy Lau for more than half her life and her parents have helped her in her obsession, accruing much debt and much strain. On a recent trip to HK to meet Andy, Yang's father threw himself into the ocean citing inability to cope with the fact his daughter couldn't talk to Andy personally. Yang has now sued Andy, and has returned home without collecting her father's body...

Andy Lau has kept quiet on this matter but recently wrote a short statement to reply to the circus that's going on. Hacken also gets a mention in it, so I thought I'd put it up on the site:



"Recently a lot has happened. I've received calls from good friends. I particularly have to thank Alan (Tam), Hacken, 'third brother' (Michael Miu), Ah Sa and Ah Gil (Twins) etc...I know a lot of you take care of me. Of course there's also you, with 40+ pages of replies...I have read all of them! Though normally some of you dont visit or leave messages, you've dropped by to do that...i'm speechless in thanks.

Everyone relax, I'm OK...

A friend once told me if you cant figure out something, don't dwell on it, as it will figure itself out. Maybe later on I will understand. He also gave me these words:

[Many things should be left to fate
When they're over, you must face it with poise
In good times, one should be unconcerned
In bad times, one should be brave
There will always be ups and downs
You will understand when you've experienced it all]

I feel these words are meaningful, so I'm sharing them with you.

p.s- I know a lot of my media friends are very concerned too, and my staff have told me of the messages you've left. I know that a lot of people are hoping for a response from me, so I will take the chance to say a sincere thankyou to everyone. I do not have any personal response, everything has been said by my company. In the future I will also not have any personal response to this. It has been hard work for everyone."
