Joey Yung Sing of Power, Fans rush for tickets even before her concert is confirmed

In the recent days, fans have been "ordering" tickets from the record company EEG. Joey joked that many of her friends have pre-ordered tickets already. She said: "We have started our meetings discussing on where we want to do with the concert this year. Every time we talk about the concerts, I would get really nervous, I hope to give fans more fresh feelings."

The other day, Joey was promoting for the sub theme to her new movie "The Emerald and The Pearl", and filmed the MV to the new song "Believe This Life Loved Before 信今生愛過", she said that it is a true challenge to her acting.

Huang Xiao Ming kisses Joe Chen in "Ji Lang Qing Chun", NGs 5-6 times

Huang Xiao Ming and Joe Chen's inspirational youthful movie "Ji Lang Qing Chun" has been busily filming in Beijing recently, under the hot 40 degree celsius weather. Yesterday, Joe and Xiao Ming finally had their first scenes together and it was unexpectedly, a kiss scene. As both of them were still unfamiliar with each other, they NGed 5-6 times before completing the scene. Joe admitted that when faced with handsome Huang Xiao Ming, she really felt quite nervous.


"Ji Lang Qing Chun" produced by John Woo and Terence Chang is a story that revolves around dragonboating competition. In the movie, Joe Chen acts as a dragon boater who had sparks with the coach Huang Xiao Ming. Prior to filming, Joe has only seen Huang Xiao Ming in official occasions and the two were like strangers. When they knew of the kiss scene, Joe tried to break the ice between the two and jokingly asked Huang Xiao Ming "Have you kissed any other girls that you knew for less than 3 hours?". Huang's surprising reply of "I just kissed my female dog last week" brought the coldness level to another peak.

RIM’s Blackpad tablet will come in November

It’s BlackBerry tablet rumor time again.

We’ve heard some specs, then some more, and now we’ve even got a name and possible release month.

It will be called Blackpad. RIM have recently registered Blackpad.com, which makes sense.

The screen size will be similar to that of the iPad.

It will have WiFi and Bluetooth, but not mobile data. Which is a big differentiating factor, as the iPad has versions with mobile data.

You will be able to pair the Blackpad with a BlackBerry smartphone via Bluetooth and use the phone’s data connection should you find yourself in an area without any WiFi. Whether you’ll be able to do this with a non-BlackBerry smartphone is unclear.

Pricing will be in line with that of the iPad, which starts at $499. RIM seems to be focused on the profit opportunities in the tablet space, rather than selling very high volumes by reducing prices compared to the competition.

Microsoft rushes fix for Windows shortcut hole


Microsoft plans to release a patch on Monday for a flaw involving how Windows handles shortcut files, after seeing the hole being used to spread a particularly nasty and fast-spreading virus, the company said Friday.

Lindsay Lohan `nearing prison release

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer says the star can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

After visiting Lindsay at the correctional facility in Lynwood yesterday, lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said the Mean Girls star is doing 'fine, she's good.'

And although Holley isn't exactly sure when Lohan, dubbed LiLo by the media, will be leaving jail, it seems the star is close to the end.

According to GossipCop.com Chapman said: 'She's looking forward to her release. It's a light at the end of the tunnel.'

Lindsay's mother Dina, sister Ali and friend Samantha Ronson also visited her yesterday.

The 24-year-old is to be released earlier than expected from her 90-day sentence because of overcrowding issues at the prison.

And Lohan, who could be released as early as Sunday, is due to start a 90-day stint in rehab straight after.

Heidi Montag Files for Divorce from Spencer Pratt

Skeptics, take notice: This breakup is for real.

Almost two months after Heidi Montag went to court seeking legal separation from husband Spencer Pratt, the reality starlet filed for divorce.

Montag, 23, cites the usual irreconcilable differences in the divorce petition filed in Santa Monica, Calif., Superior Court.

"Heidi has amended her petition for separation and today has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Spencer Pratt," Montag's lawyer Jodeane Farrell tells PEOPLE. "The couple has agreed they would like their divorce to be finalized in a timely manner in an out of court settlement. Both parties are amicable with each other and over the possibility of finalizing their divorce."

The public and Montag's own former costars from The Hills initially expressed doubts about whether the split was legitimate or another publicity stunt.

They were married last April at a church in Pasadena, Calif., and have been busy ever since.

Google search blocked in China? The pain continues

It’s been a bit of a news rollercoaster for Google the last two days as initial reports showed that Google search was entirely blocked on mainland China, then it was just blocked a little bit and over-reported due to a glitch, then, really for sure, it was an issue with the Great Firewall, as finally reported by ZDNet’s Sam Diaz. As he put it,


Following a closer look at the circumstances, Google has said the problem was not related to a glitch on its part but instead must be the result of some changes to China’s censoring system, called the Great Firewall.

What this really points to is some serious hypersensitivity over Google’s relationship with the Chinese government and their prospects for working unfettered with the largest group of Internet users in the world. The stakes, at least as seen by many investors, are extremely high and the media frenzy over the conflicting reports out of Google and China only reinforce one thing: Anything Google does in China will be fraught with pain.
