Annie Yi 伊能靜 announces end of nine-year marriage

Annie Yi 伊能靜 announced her divorce with Harlem Yu 庾澄慶 last Friday through her management company in China. The release in Chinese stated: I, Annie Yi, has signed a divorce agreement with Harlem Yu, and ended our marriage relationship. I hope our families can enjoy peace again. 伊能静通过她的经济公司华谊兄弟发布离婚声明原文：本人伊能静已经与庾澄庆签订协议，结束彼此的婚姻关系，希望家人能回归平静，谢谢各位的关心，你们辛苦了

The release did not mention about their only son's custodian rights. However, Yi's godfather Xia Yushun revealed recently that the seven-year-old boy would remain in the custody of the Yu family while Yi enjoyed access rights. Yu denied this and said that they have not received official notice on their son's custody.

Yi and Yu were married in Los Angeles, United States, on Feb 14, 2000, and gave birth to their son two years later on Mar 16 also in the States. From almost a decade of courtship to their nine years of marriage, Yi has reportedly been in several other affairs though Yu had always trusted her.

On Nov 12 last year, the photo that showed Yi holding hands with male artiste Victor Huang in China was exposed on the Internet. Though Yi and Huang did not admit to the scandal, with photos as evidence, Yi and Yu's marriage still broke up.

And Harlem Yu 庾澄慶 appears to be crying after received the notice. 昨天(3月24日)哈林录台视《百万大歌星》前，勉强和记者“交代”，但因他态度“凶巴巴”，场面很僵。哈林在韩国期间，《东周刊》连续跟拍4天，据报道，第1天他到下榻酒店，心情很差，看到记者拍照就摆臭脸；第2天往明洞拍外景，显得很憔悴，镜头没拍时就发呆，心事重重。工作人员和他对稿时，他很多意见，表情丰富，很像在骂对方。 伊能静离婚声明发布当天，剧组到龙平市霸王山滑雪场拍外景，哈林有些失控，镜头前超high，私下自闭，躲在角落黯然神伤。情绪反差大，不时狂笑，没录影时又愁容满面。

Sonija 郭羨妮 was bitten by her maid

TVB famous actress 郭羨妮 was injured, as she was bitten by her maid. Mainly suspect the maid got relationship problem.

無綫「當家花旦」郭羨妮與母親昨早在太子道西寓所內遭發狂的印尼籍女傭襲擊，手臂被咬傷留下血洞。郭羡妮僱用的印傭疑因失戀而情緒失控，在家中亂擲東西及大聲哭叫。34歲郭羨妮（Sonija），左手前臂被咬傷，送廣華醫院敷治後出院，但貼上大塊膠布的傷口仍有血水滲出。

郭羨妮透露，約10個月前聘用該24歲女傭，對方一向表現良好，詎料昨早突然失常。她形容女傭施襲時完全變成另一個人。昨早9時許郭在太子道西Sky Garden寓所內熟睡，夢中被女傭吵鬧聲驚醒，她走出查看，發現女傭呆坐在沙發，不停叫「I don't know what happen to me！」（我不知我發生什麼事！）郭上前安慰時，女傭拿出手提電話給她看短訊，內容大致表示「我不會再找你」。女傭其後不斷撥打電話均未能打通，情緒激動大叫大哭。

郭羨妮在香港出生，畢業於溫哥華大學，主修心理學和經濟學。1999年參選香港小姐獲得冠軍、「最上鏡小姐」、「國際親善小姐」及「千禧才智小姐」獎項，與無線電視簽約而晉身娛樂圈；2000年參選國際華裔小姐競選再奪得冠軍。

Hong Kong "Stamp Collector" Actor and Actress 集邮男女星

After the “咸猪手”和“八大荡花”，TVB 无线 actor and actress now have “集邮男星”、“集邮2王2后”. 所谓集邮，在他们的语境中，是指占有更多的异性，如邮票收藏爱好者不遗余力收集更多邮票一样。有一种性心理倒的确如此，占有异性数目越多，他或她就越有满足感，甚至光是数目本身就足以令他或她备感刺激。

罗霈颖在节目中对香港集邮男的八大特征给予了详尽描述：活跃于九十年代香港电影圈;他曾拍过不少三级片;不是白净一族，有一身结实肌肉;近年从商，仍在电影中客串角色;第一任妻子是圈中武打女星;拍过《羔羊》系列电影;与某天后级女星合作过，而该女星也很容易跟对手发生感情，先后同得奖导演及香港影帝传绯闻，也失意于婚姻，而女星近年亦定居海外甚少回港;五位女主角中，三位与其有过合作。八大特征的出炉，媒体和公众津津乐道的“集邮男”似乎已经无处遁形。香港某媒体更是搞了一出所谓的民调，结果网民和读者按图索骥，锁定“集邮男”前三名：任达华、郑浩南和陈冠希。令人啼笑皆非的是，特征似乎有些差距的成龙也进入前十，看来他的惯常风流给公众留下了抹之不去的印痕。

“集邮男星”，曾与不少一线女星有亲密关系，集邮男星可能是 任达华, 郑浩南, 陈冠希, 成龙, 周星驰. The 6 actor stamp collector 集邮男星 are given the nick names:

①“高材生”：开房门诱女
②“大阿哥”：出手寒酸还到处乱说 / “性欲强”
③“好打得”：教功夫抽水
④“大抽男”：搞尽女同事
⑤“白无常”：蒙面验货
⑥“魔导王”：捧女星上床


根据香港八卦周刊《face》曝光的5位“邮票女星”的剪影，有网友翻出王祖贤旧照，指出其发型和手臂与剪影“5号女星”高度相似。而“1号女星”夸张的爆炸头也与张曼玉早前的造型如出一辙。叶倩文旧照则与2号女星正好对上，有网友指出她曾与郑浩南合作并传过绯闻。

No 1. 张曼玉
No 2. 叶倩文
No 3.
No 4.
No 5. 王祖贤

Others include 邱淑贞, 张敏....

众星忙出门撇清……

★佘诗曼：“集邮呀？是咩？我没听过，什么才叫集邮？没人找我集！”

★钟嘉欣：“我入行5年完全没有这个经历，可能暗示过（指“集邮男星”）我都不知道，我形象又比较健康，会吓到很多男生。”

★杨怡：“我相信有很多都是传闻，我不是很相信，让我拣，我会选真正的集邮，我喜欢邮票。不过圈中风气都是人为，我觉得应该做好自己本份。”

★吕良伟：“此风不可长，这些（集邮）搞得好乱啊！我本人信佛，觉得人道德观念很重要，人要健康，才会开心！”

★陈豪：“大家一起拍戏，玩笑一定有，但是讲到‘集邮’，我就不知道有没有了。我觉得最近娱乐圈传出太多这种新闻了！咸猪手传完，又轮到‘集邮女星’，现在又讲什么‘集邮男星’，我觉得娱乐圈最近不够正气，不好这么多歪风。”

★林峰：“集邮？我不明白！我没睇过。工作以外，对不起，我不讲，因为和很多花旦合作过，大家都是兄弟姐妹。”

★马国明：“我对这样的新闻不会太认真，好像之前传的咸猪手，我也不信这么多女星被人非礼也不会去报警。上次传‘集邮女星’，这次传‘集邮男星’，我都当娱乐新闻看。（有没女星想‘集’你？）没试过，我也想被人集呀。”

★马德钟：“说这个‘集邮男星’拍过三级片嘛，我都没拍过三级片，我拍的戏顶多二级半，这个point都不中了啦！”

★古天乐：“我最近都在中国拍戏，也没看香港新闻，所以不清楚什么‘集邮男星’，我个人比较喜欢少说话，多做事。说到什么‘集邮男女’，我觉得只要每个人做好自己本份，整个个娱乐圈都会好！”

Disney Halts Hong Kong Design Work and Cut Jobs

As reported by Bloomberg, The Walt Disney has halted all creative and design work on the expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, leading to 30 job cuts and raising tensions with Hong Kong’s government. "After two years of Disney investment in creative and design work and extensive negotiations with our partner, the Hong Kong government, we have not yet reached a final agreement to expand Hong Kong Disneyland," Leslie Goodman, executive vice president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said in a statement.

The staff were laid off after the Hong Kong government, which holds a 57% stake in Hong Kong Disneyland, told the company there is no timetable for the expansion of the theme park, the report said. Local media had reported the government, which shouldered the bulk of the park's $3.5 billion construction cost, is reluctant to invest more public money. The theme-park operator said it still hasn’t reached an agreement with the government on an expansion plan after two years of investment and negotiations.

Hong Kong’s tourist arrivals will probably fall 1.6 percent in 2009 from a year earlier to 29 million, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board. The park increased ticket prices by as much as 19 percent last month, the first adjustment since it opened.

US Recall ALL: BRAND’S Essence of Chicken 白蘭氏雞精

USDA is announcing a nationwide recall of chicken drink products, mainly the BRAND’S Essence of Chicken 白蘭氏雞精. Others than Brand, they also recall "CALFARM牌" and "美樂牌" 調味雞粉. USDA claim that these products don't meet the U.S. poultry requirements. The main concern is the food for the chicken that used to produce these products.

For the Brand, the following series are affected:
"BRAND'S Essence of Chicken Drink, with Ginseng",
"BRAND'S Essence of Chicken Drink",
"BRAND'S Essence of Chicken Drink, with Cordyceps Extract",
"BRAND'S Essence of Chicken Drink, with 4 Herbs",
"BRAND'S Essence of Chicken Drink, with Lingzhi",
"BRAND'S Essence of Chicken Drink, with Ginseng".

However, those companies say the affected products only limited to USA, not include Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and other asia countries. But some of the shops have started to take those products off their shelf voluntary. Source: Source 1, Source 2.

HSBC stock plunge pushes HK exchange revised trading rule

HSBC is a very unique stock and it has an intricate relationship with Hong Kong people’s lives. When it fluctuates like yesterday it has a huge impact on people’s sentiment and wealth. HSBC Holdings 24 percent plunge in Hong Kong yesterday prompted a government probe and the stock exchange to consider bringing forward changes to end- of-day trading processes.

HSBC Holdings said Tuesday a huge drop in its shares late Monday was caused by a "few trades" as investors decide whether to put money into a massive rights issue. Hong Kong's financial secretary John Tsang also said the government is concerned about HSBC's sharp losses and that he had already met with SFC officials to discuss the issue. Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. may also accelerate the implementation of a 2 percent cap on stock fluctuations during so-called closing auction sessions.

Original System:
The closing auction process, used by the exchange since May last year, has attracted criticism from lawmakers and investors who claim it distorts stock pricing. The session extends trading by 10 minutes from the original 4 p.m. local time close, during which buy and sell orders are matched by an auction trading mechanism. The sessions are an international practice aimed at providing a “fair and market-driven method” to determine closing stock prices.

Example:
Four days after the closing auction was introduced, eight stocks moved by more than 10 percent from the last traded price at 4 p.m., which Hong Kong Exchanges said was due to a rebalancing of MSCI Barra indexes.

New Rule:
Hong Kong Exchanges said March 5 that it planned to implement a 2 percent limit on the changes of stock prices within the auctions on June 22.

Back to HSBC:
HSBC’s 24 percent tumble yesterday wasn’t the result of “panic selling, it was technical trades”. The shares rallied 15 percent today. The stock, the second-largest constituent on the benchmark Hang Seng Index, fell more than 10 percent during the closing auction session, dragging the shares to the lowest since May 1995. The shares rallied 15 percent today to HK$37.80.

Hong Kong top rich men is putting money to "save" HSBC

These top five riches men in Hong Kong: 李兆基, 長實 - 李嘉誠, 新世界發展 - 鄭裕彤, 華置 - 劉鑾雄, 新鴻基金融集團 are saying they will support the right issue of HSBC. They say they have confidence in the bank. However, they are big shot, they can get a lower commissions, so for the small investors, it may not be wise to follow them.

People suspect that so many rich guys are supporting HSBC, could it be supported by the mainland government. But the insider says, though mainland government is paying attention to the development of HSBC, as HSBC plays an important part for the Hong Kong to be financial center. But they will not interfere, at least at this moment.

HSBC drops 19% to $46.25. This is the second worst performance since 1987, where during 1987, the stock drop 21.69% in one day. Soon you will not only human, but dog ask for money on the street.

HSBC trading suspended, wait for results at 4pm

Trading in shares of HSBC Holdings was suspended in Hong Kong on Monday, the Hong Kong stock exchange said, ahead of what sources have said will be a rights issue of up to $18 billion to be announced later on Monday alongside its 2008 results.

Shares of HSBC's Hong Kong-based subsidiary, Hang Seng Bank, dropped 4% ahead of its own results for 2008. Daiwa Research expects Hang Seng's 2008 profit to drop to HK$14.06 billion from $18.24 billion in 2007.

匯控今早9:30開始停牌，與該公司有關的所有結構性產品，亦同時暫停買賣。消息指，滙控已將供股消息，知會主要投資者，又與三十家銀行接洽，而多個中東投資者，都有意供股。而供股集資完成後，滙控的核心一級資本比率將由百分之六點五，上升至百分之九點五，成為全球資本最充足的銀行之一。

滙控對上一次供股計畫，要追溯到八七年三月，八供一，供股價每股七元，集資三十三億元，集資理由同樣是增強資本，而同年十月即爆發股災，反映滙控管理層洞悉先機。當時為了吸引投資者供股，滙控更派發點心，八送一紅股。未知今次滙控會否再派發「甜品」吸引投資者供股。
