Edison Chen has REALLY broken his silence this time around to appear on CNN's Talk Asia to chat about the sex scandal that ruined his life (though, perhaps, not for as long as the more schadenfraude-prone of us would like) and the lives of countless female starlets in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong actor turned scandalous sexy picture taker Edison Chan has braved death threats to promote his new movie, The Sniper, in public - despite being a “little bit afraid.” Edison, who appeared in public in Singapore on Sunday gave AFP a bunch of quotable quotes:

We'd heard rumors of Edison Chen receiving death threats over sexy picture-gate last year, but this is the first time we've actually seen real evidence of it. The Hong Kong star was threatened with a gold-colored bullet, sent to a Hong Kong television station on Thursday with a typed letter warning Edison not to appear in public after April 4. "We hope Edison Chen will take this warning seriously, otherwise his personal safety will be threatened,” the letter allegedly said. Not quite as dramatic as a decapitated horse head, but we do like the gilded touch. Source: The Standard

Hong Kong singer Gillian Chung, one of many starlets embroiled in the Edison Chen photo scandal last year, broker her silence on Saturday. In an interview with TVB, she demanded an apology and explanation from Edison, and revealed that she had thought about killing herself when the pictures leaked. Gillian is the second star to be interviewed, after Cecilia Cheung appeared on television last week lambasting Edison for failing to protect or console the women whose lives he'd inadvertently ruined. Interest in the case was recently renewed when Edison appeared in a Canadian court to give testimony against the man who stole the photos. Source: Electric Paper
