So much has happened since our last post on the Edison Chen photo scandal that it is about time we updated you! First, the Edison Chen saga has caught the attention of CNN. The Chinese-speaking world has never been as enraptured in a scandal as this, and its scale and magnitude is threatening to make Paris Hilton look very passé. Kristie Lu Stout reports:
Yet more female celebrities have been sucked into the scandal with some of the latest pictures released. Here’s one of the very exotic looking Maggie Q (李美琪). Apparently though, this was just a promotional picture for Edison Chen’s clothing line and may have nothing to do with his sexcapades. Really, there’s nothing too scandalous about the pic anyway. Nevertheless, a sex tape involving Edison Chen and Maggie Q is said to be circulating in Hong Kong:
A series of pictures containing a woman bearing a striking resemblance to Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) in lingerie is also making the rounds. However, internet sleuths have worked out that this is not Jolin Tsai but one of her wannabes. She also does not have a tattoo on her left arm like Jolin does:
Three pictures of 19 year old Vincy Yeung (杨永晴), Edison Chen’s current girlfriend, have also been released by the mystery man “Kira”, and here’s where it gets a lot juicier. Vincy is the daughter of Ricky Yeung (楊超成), brother of tycoon Albert Yeung (楊受成), the boss of Emperor Entertainment Group who is said to have numerous triad affiliations. Even Jackie Chan (成龍) was said to have appeared “uncomfortable” when told of this latest development and left without making any further comments. Edison has once made known at a party that he will marry Vincy as soon as he has earned HK$150 million. Because of concerns that Vincy was underaged when the said photos were taken, this is about as much as we can show you:
Other women sucked into the case include lesser known stars like Rachel Ngan (顏穎思), Mandy Chen (陳育嬬) and Candice Chan (陳思慧):

The long-awaited statement from Gillian Chung came yesterday, when she made her first public appearance since the scandal erupted. She is the first artiste to come clean and admit her involvement with the pictures (shame on you, Edison!), even though her record company EEG had earlier insisted the pictures were digitally altered:
“I admit that I was naive and very silly, but I’ve grown up now. I want to thank my company, family and friends for their concern. As for the influence this incident has had on society, I apologise. In the coming days I will continue to focus on my work and face up to my life.”
In other news:
- After getting cut from the new film Jump <跳出去> by Columbia Pictures, Edison has also been dumped by credit card company Manhattan Titanium because of the scandal. Sing Tao Daily estimates the scandal could cost Edison HK$10m a year in work and endorsements. Other sponsors of Edison include Pepsi, Levi’s, Jacobs & Co, Samsung and EPS, and the star is said to be able to fetch as much as HK$1m for each endorsement.
- Edison Chen will be back in Hong Kong this week. His management at East Asia Music has denied that he fled Hong Kong to escape from the fallout. Meanwhile, Edison’s godfather Anthony Wong (黃秋生), said that Edison will return to Hong Kong to “help the police catch the ‘crazy man’ who is leaking the sex photos”.
- Bobo Chan seems to have been hit the worst. After having left show business in 2006, she led a relatively quiet life and was even going to marry her investment company director boyfriend Kam Chi Yiu (金紫耀). The marriage has apparently been called off and now that Bobo Chan is uncontactable, good friend Denise Ho (何韻詩) and ex-boss Nat Chan (陳百祥) have expressed concern.
- Hong Kong police have arrested the ninth suspect and charged him with breaking obscenity laws. Protestors have taken to the streets criticising the police for its special treatment of celebrities, its invasion of privacy of internet users and its hunt for a scapegoat despite the continued leak of pictures. “Kira”, the mystery man is still at large and presumably outside of Hong Kong. He had earlier promised the widely anticipated video to be timed with Gillian Chung’s public appearance, but has now postponed the release to 3am TONIGHT:
Today is the day when Gill will meet the fans for the first time after the scandal. I wanted to release her vid at the same time. However, due to a certain reason, I was not able to. Now I decide to release 3 vids at 3:00 am. The content are 1. the original video of the pre-released photos, and 2. some new materials that haven’t been shown in the photos before.
Be Patient!!!!!!
PS: Stop arresting the scapegoats. If you’re capable enough, come get me! - The Vancouver Sun, in its report of the scandal, embarrassed itself by mistakenly inserting the picture of Wang Lee-Hom (王力宏) instead of Edison Chen and has since apologised for the boo-boo:
- The scandal continues to take front page in all Hong Kong tabloids. Here’s a snapshot from Monday’s edition of The Standard:
- Taking an unscientific poll on Hong Kong’s “Avenue Of Stars”, Shanghaiist suspects that the celebrities involved don’t need to worry about their popularity however. We had to literally elbow small children out of the way to have our photo taken in front of Gillian Cheung’s hand prints.
- We also sipped wine yesterday with a friend who used to patronise the same row of stores that Edison goes to. Two years ago, our friend had been offered by one of those men a sneak peek at those pictures, but he declined. So it looks like the pictures were an open secret at least among the staff working there.
- For those with no interest in such trivial matters, the light at the end of the tunnel is that Bishop John Tong (the Pope’s top man in Hong Kong) has stepped in to say that the whole business is making God jolly cross and they should stop it immediately. So we expect to hear no more about it.

let’s just say edison has a nasty taste when it comes to women (except gillian and maggie q), but even maggie q looks like a man in that pic
brrrrr
So important you needed to say it thrice!
I’d say I am mildly more interested in this now that Maggie Q has entered the picture. I have to admit this is far more captivating than the whole Britney saga.
Even the girl can come out in public, admit her involvement and apologize. It came a little late but at least she has the guts take responsibility.
Edison had done nothing but blaming other people. I mean, grow up, be a man. And his management team claimed that his recent trip to Boston isn’t fleeing the scandal. Yes, he just wanted to go to Boston because, you know, it is the best place to be.
well the good news ( I hope)would be that more people will finally start trimming down there, talk about bushes!
Shopgirl: No way, I’d get on Cecilia Cheung in a New York minute.
liliac: yeah, women should all get themselves up like American porn stars. What’s the big deal about some fucking muff?
Hey I just wanna tell you there is a poll about “Do you stand by Gillian Chung?” Vote here after watching the video, thanks

Enough already! The only scandals here are the god damned bushes of these “starlets” and that fricken micosis Edison Chen does not mind having suck his dick. I have never ever seen such freaks on post-your-wife-amateur pic sites like these “celebrities”.
I feel sorry that Gillian feels the need to apologize. She’s done nothing wrong, nor has Edison, nor any of the others involved. Only the distributor of the photos is guilty here, and everyone else are just normal kids having fun.
@callipers,
It seems you can hardly wait for your turn to suck on your idol’s organic soy nuts. I bet you would look even handsome down there with that famous pub mustache on. Oh, don’t forget to bring along your mom and your little sisters for some special “portrait” by the master himself.
I’m going to start posting up photos of me having sex, see if I can’t get some of this kind of web traffic.
Edison may have done nothing legally wrong, but you have to admit what he did was stupid. Same with the girls. Computers get stolen and invaded all the time. So what kind of bozo, especially one who is in show business, keeps a database of compromising pictures of himself and his sexual partners online?
The guy who is posting them should indeed be charged with something if he is ever caught, although I doubt he will be. However, the HK starlets should be a bit more stoic about this. The pictures were not taken secretly. All of them should have known that the potential for them to leak out was there. Duh!
This aside, the one with the least balls is ironically the man. Edison should at least have the cajones to come out and say: Whoops! I goofed.
i goofed … all over that chicks hairy bush
Edison List of Free Unlimited Call-Girls Cecilia, Gillian, Bobo/Candice, Maggie Q, 2R Rosanne & Race Wong, Vincey, Jolin Tsai, Elva Hsiao, 8 wealthy Hong Kong family daughters
March 14, 2008 updates from our legal colleagues in Hong Kong community:
Heavy funds allocated by these list of free-call girls to the triad and legal side to prevent the remaining pictures and videos to be released. Insider sources confirmed that these remaining pictures and videos were a lot more horrendous than earlier with these lower than prostitute girls acting in gang intercourses with Edison and among themselves together just like strayed dogs in Hong Kong streets. These girls are so worried that their regular dirt of activities will finally be all revealed, thus the heavily allocated fund is to stop the public to know their truths so that they can use the excuse that they are still clean and honorable with dignity lady like a virgin. These funds also were used to stop other good-looking male entertainers to leak the truths that they also had been getting free intercourses from these list of free call-girls, and also treat to push them out of the industry if they started to be honest and dignified with realities, as well as not allowing them to get further free intercourses from new-comer girls to the entertainment industry. It is a requirement of new-comers to the entertainment industry to give free unlimited intercourses with other actors, directors, tycoons several times till they are satisfied to
make them into a star.
So, anyone of you that date and married a movie star, actor, singer, just be prepared to face the truth someday (ie, there is no secret in this world, just a matter of time with karma) that you had been wearing the biggest Green Hat of the Universe for life, humiliated by the world as having the lowest women as strayed dog sex as a wife, and your children need to figure out idiotically which one of the 80+ men getting free penetration to his/her moms is their real dad or actually a soda club mixture of all 80+ men into a children of one.
Lucas Tse (probable degraded son of Slutty Cecilia Cheung mom and Green Hat Nicholas Tse dad) Top 10 Questions he knew the answers of when growing up:
After spending long hours among the Hong Kong legal colleagues working with the managers, consultants, and advisors to all these slutty entertainment call-girls in the form faked career cheaters to the public and immoral to their own blood & souls, we sidelined together from the massive dirts of these lower-than-prostituting girls’ evidences yet undisclosed coming up with these list for your thought and public to intellect prior to allowing yourself and generations to worship them as idols:
1.Mom, how come everytime you said these men are your good friends, you ended up having all of their dicks in your mouth and they ended up licking your body?
2.Mom, how come everytime you said these male Uncles are your very good friends, you ended up giving free intercourses anytime these Uncles call you up?
3.Mom, are these men and Uncles of your good and very good friends, all my Dad in actuality? I will call all of them my horny Dad moving forward.
4.Mom, I saw you had slept with about 80+ men as long as they look decent and have money or status, how come you can not have a basic loyalty and pride in a decent loving family and with one and only honorable Dad as the man?
5.Mom, am I made up of these 80+ mens’ sperms and your only one contaminated ovary egg?
6.Mom and Dad, I saw on the World’s Pedigree competition, the dog that stay the truest to their root, clean, pure, with one key selected partner as honor always won the most respects by the world and all the intellectuals of all walks; and the dogs that getting mixed-up with 80+ other dogs everytime they see a holes to intercourses got zero respect and dignity by anyone, how come I am part of the latter one by all fronts?
7.Mom, how come all of your women friends are acting the same way as you do and consciously in my heart and soul I felt it is incorrect and your women friends are untruthful and depreciating your heart and soul? But you just keep demoralized my soul and humiliated by being lower than prostitute’s son of strayed dogs.
8.Mom and Dad, how come you and your entertainment women friends always lied that you loved art, music, and dance thus why working in your field; but all I see is low grade arts, copied musics, plagiarized dances, little to no investment in time nor energy in anything other than most of you spending sex with one another, cheating all night with different male Uncles and good and very good friends of your proclaimations with all their dicks in your body’s different orifices, dirtying your body everyday and everynight? Is this art, is this music, is this dance for me to learn and follow for life?
9.Mom and Dad, you are my greatest role model, what you did and what all the male Uncles and good and very good male friends of your did and told/show me will be best role model for me to follow. I will start giving all my orifices to other male Uncles, good friends, and very good male friends of yours too. And also give my dick with live videos to all your entertainment and any decent looking ladies in the world behind their boyfriend, fiance’, husband, families, and childrens? I am thinking to start acting like all of you, maybe when I turn 8 years old? The sooner to follow you and all the male Uncles, male good friends and very good male friend of yours, the better it is for me right? I am so proud to know the way of my Mom’s intellect early in life the moment I go to school with everyone laughing and intercoursing at me.
10.Mom, I heard and learn the word pureliness, dignity, moral, ethic, pride, honor, value, and commitment as a decent human being to this society and family; and as a role model to the public when one lived on their trust, income, and feeling. Do I have one, or will I ever have one, Mom?
These applies to all couples and families with one of both of them a movie star, singer, actor, model, proclaimed as ‘art’ to the infidel orgasm parties every night hiding behind all of their extremely thick pretty face of unashamed look. We are told that an honorable human being knows “the more influence and power one had, the more responsibility one needs to take for the sake of yourselve, your beloved ones, and a footprint to this society moving forward for at least one brighter and cleaner life to be influenced.”
Hello, SPAMbot.
I completely agree with you. These girls will lower themselves to such a degree just to become famous. And then they will act like they are the victims. If you are decent no one can do anything do you. This is entertainment business. That's why they say actresses are high class prostitues.
I hear lots of bs about Cecilia Chung. I wonder why Nicholas the married her in the first place. Is it fame or money? He is so damn rich.
She needs to shave her hairypussy. It's Nasty!
