The Good And Bad News about Gillian Chung!

Hong Kong publisher Next Media, best known for its aggressive and flamboyant reporting styles and paparazzi-style photographs, has been slapped with a HK$175,000 (US$22,600) fine for indecency.

The fine was issued by a Hong Kong court after it found seven cases of indecent photographs published in the company’s magazine. Among them were pictures of pop singer Gillian Chung.

Chung, one half of pop double act Twins, was snapped while changing backstage at a concert in Kuala Lumpur in 2006.

That provoked record numbers of public complaints to Hong Kong's Television & Entertainment Licensing Authority. Canto-pop star Jackie Chan and other celebs also petitioned for tighter rules on paparazzi-style photography.

Next Media's "Easy Finder" magazine which was responsible for publishing the photos, has since been forced to close down.

Apologize for spreading HK singer's pornographic photos by Baidu!!

BEIJING, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Internet search engine Baidu.com was asked by Beijing's Internet self-discipline organization to make a public apology for spreading Hong Kong star Edison Chen's pornographic photos.

Photos supposedly showing Hong Kong actor and singer Edison Chen and several female stars naked in bed and in sexual poses became a hot topic among Internet users from late January onwards.

The Beijing Internet news information review council, initiated by government-sponsored Beijing Association of Online Media, issued a statement on Monday, criticizing the Nasdaq-listed website as being badly behaved during this event.

In the statement the association said "we severely criticize Baidu's behavior".

"'Key-words searching' and 'Tieba', a picture-sharing section of Baidu.com became a platform to show and spread the obscene pictures and Baidu failed to block the photos after other Beijing-based websites had taken actions against the pictures' spreading," said the statement.

A staff member, who refused to reveal her name, at Baidu's public affairs department said the company was asked to make an apology yesterday, however, the authorities haven't made decision yet.

"It's not convenient for us to comment at present," she told Xinhua.

The statement praised other big Chinese mainland websites, including Sohu.com, Sina.com and Netease, as they called for Internet users "not to download, save and spread the photos" and "to prevent the photos from falling into the hands of children".

"They have shown their conscience and responsibility," it said.

It also called on all websites in the Chinese mainland not to provide any excuse and technical support for the spread of pornographic photos, in a bid to create a clean, healthy, and civilized Internet environment.

The council, composed by government officials, website staff, experts and netizens, was initiated in 2006 as a self-disciplinary organization for Beijing websites and online information providers.

A total of 42 Beijing-based websites, including Baidu.com signed to accept supervision of the council.

China has laws and regulations prohibiting producing, publicizing, selling and spreading pornographic information through the internet. The Ministry of Public Security recently started a nationwide campaign to shut down websites and blogs carrying pornographic information lasting until September.

Gillian Chung-Attempted suicide but failed!! Is that true???

Sex Photo - Make Hong Kong Hot in cyber space!!

A series of Hong Kong-oriented nude photo scandals involving numerous celebrities there heated up the Internet news here last week. The scandal was the third most viewed news item on Naver's most searched list last week.
On Jan. 30, local media reported several photographs purportedly showing sexual relations between Hong Kong actor Chen Kwoon Hei, 29, more widely known by his English name Edison Chen, and pop singer Gillian Chung, 28, were leaked to the Internet and rapidly reproduced throughout cyber space.
According to Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper, the pictures were copied from the actor's faulty computer last year when he took it in for servicing.
``A person in the shop found hidden in files in Chen's computer, confidential nude pictures of naked female stars, which were then secretly copied,'' Ming Pao reported, quoting an anonymous source.
At first the two entertainers denied the allegation, saying, ``They are doctored photographs.''
Despite their denial, hundreds of explicit pictures were posted online, cornering the actor and starlets he appeared with.
According to Hong Kong police, a total of nine female celebrities including several world-class actresses such as Cecilia Cheung, Gillian Chung and Bobo Chan had sexual relations with the actor.
The computer shop was subsequently raided by police in a widening investigation across the territory, which has led to eight arrests for infringing the obscene material law, and the seizure of hundreds of other explicit images, many unpublished.
Following the leakage, actress Cecilia Cheung and husband Nicholas Tse now live separately and Bobo Chan broke off an engagement with her fiance. Gillian Chung reportedly attempted suicide but failed.
According to Hong Kong's Apple Daily, the disgraced actor Edison Chen who is now staying in Boston with his girlfriend will return to Hong Kong on Sunday to be questioned by police.
A major suspect who was arrested on suspicion of spreading the nude photos online was released recently, according to Apple Daily on Feb. 16.

Gillian Chung -I was very naive and silly in the past, but I have grown up now

Gillian Chung -I was very naive and silly in the past, but I have grown up now

Canto pop singer Gillian Chung Yan-tung, one of the women in the recent celebrity sex photo scandal, broke her silence briefly on February 11th amid a gathering with her fans.
Chung said she regretted the impact that the incident has caused to society as a whole.
"I admit that I was very naive and silly in the past, but I have grown up now," Chung made the speech in the company of Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin, her singing partner in the pop duo "Twins".
"I want to thank my company, family and friends for their concern and support," Chung said.
She did not answer any media questions.
Chung is the second artist involved in the scandal to make a public statement over the incident. Edison Chen Kwoon-hei apologized for the incident through a video last Monday.
"I will continue to work and face my life in a positive manner," she said.
Her fans cheered after she finished the one-minute speech.
One of them said she has never seen the photos, while another said she would not leave the fan club.
Over the internet, however, Chung's speech has sparked frenzied discussion.
"The audiences are all naive too, we are deceived," said dd88_555, an online user, on the mainland forum "Tianya".

What Other's Said?
Another online user melon860411 said, "I used to love Chung, but now I am very disappointed."
Meanwhile, some expressed their support for the 27-year-old artist.

"Please don't focus on the scandal only. They (the celebrities) are also ordinary people. We should tolerate and help them resume normal life," Freeblueworld said.

"They are too young to understand this incident," she said. Ho's 10-year-old child never saw the photos.

Ho added while no single person should be held responsible for the incident, artists should pay more attention to their behavior.

Despite the arrest of the man who allegedly uploaded the photos last Monday, more photos were uploaded onto the internet. Seven females were identified, including Chen's girlfriend Vincy Yeung.

Mani Fok, manager of Chung
Mani Fok, manager of Chung, said the company Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) and Chung would not respond to the incident in the future.
EEG initially claimed in a statement that the images featuring Chung were doctored.
The ninth arrest in relation to the posting of the photos has recently been made. The suspect, a 24-year-old man, was apprehended in Kowloon at 8:00am on Sunday. He was charged last night with distributing erotic photographs on the web and will appear in Kwun Tong Magistracy today

The picture is not Real??HK cops say earlier photos in Edison Chen scandal appear real

HK cops say earlier photos in Edison Chen scandal appear real

YET another female celebrity has fallen victim to the nude-picture scandal now raging on Hong Kong newstands.

Raunchy images of Hong Kong singer Joey Yung captured in suggestive poses surfaced online on Thursday, the fourth female celebrity to have racy photos supposedly exposed in the media.

But while the other female celebrities have all been romantically linked with Hong Kong actor Edison Chen, Joey has not been known to have been involved with him.

Are the latest pictures genuine?

That is the question police investigators are trying to determine.

The chain of scandal began on Sunday when a compromising photo of Twins star Gillian Chung and EdisonChen appeared in the adult photo section of a Hong Kong forum.

More pictures appeared, one allegedly showing retired singer-actress Bobo Chan performing a sex act on Edison.

Still more pictures followed, this time supposedly showing actress Cecilia Cheung in various states of undress.

MAY BE REAL

Hong Kong police and photo experts who examined the photos involving the first three female celebrities say the photos are unlikely to have been digitally manipulated.

They have the following reasons:

Firstly, they said the lighting and shadows in the background are hard to piece together digitally.

Secondly, the faces and the necks of the celebrities shown do not appear to be digitally joined.

The police also said that because of the low resolution of the photos, they are not ruling out the possibility of the pictures having been taken with a handphone.

Meanwhile, rumours are rife that the marriage of Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse is on the rocks over the scandal.

However, Patrick Tse, Nicholas's father, has refuted these rumours.

A spokesman for Cecilia said the actress hopes the culprit will be apprehended soon.

She also dismissed rumours of her marriage turning sour and said their relationship was good, and thanked everyone for their concern.

There has also been talk that Gillian had attempted suicide following the scandal.

But her manager has explained to the media that Gillian has been given leave to rest following a bout of fever due to the recent cold weather.

The Hong Kong media has recently listed 14 female celebrities who are allegedly at risk of being 'exposed'.

Among them are Elva Hsiao, Jolin Tsai, Maggie Q, Nikki Chow, Rain Li and Rosanne Wong.

These celebrities have all been linked with Edison at some point.

The on-going scandal, along with that involving a Singaporean whose nude pictures have been circulated ever since he joined the Manhunt contest (See report on page10.), raises the question: Why risk being exposed by having nude, compromising pictures taken in the firstplace?

Celebrities and star-wannabees are not alone, said Dr Lionel Lim, a consultant psychiatrist at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre. He said some ordinary people also like to capture themselves on video engaged in sexual acts for various reasons.

Said Dr Lim: 'Some people like to do it because they are curious about what it would be like to be on the other side of the camera.

'There is an element of exhibitionism. They may think they have nice bodies and enjoy looking at themselves, and film themselves for their own private consumption,' he added.

'On the other hand, there are the other group of people who capture themselves in sexual acts as it may increase their arousal,' he said.

DEVIANT

'In such cases, there might be a little bit of a voyeuristic tendency.

'Watching their own videos suggests a voyeuristic tendency while being filmed smacks of exhibitionism,' hesaid.

'Either way, these two tendencies are sexual in nature.

'Whether or not they are considered deviant is dependent on personal values and societal norms,' explained Dr Lim.
