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

Disgraced Hong Kong pop star Edison Chen, whose naked photos were leaked to the Internet last year, will be making his first appearance since February 2008 - in a Canadian courtroom.

Of the 22.6% of the country that now has access to the Internet, 162 million blog, while 234 million log on to read up on the news.

Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) has been in the news quite a bit lately, and for all the wrong reasons. Last week, pictures of a woman with an uncanny resemblance to her surfaced during the Edison Chen scandal and this time, she refers to Hong Kong as a foreign country (国外), and talks of how she wants to gain glory for the people of Taiwan (“为台湾人争光"). Her Chinese fans are not finding it funny, and she is getting it big time on the Internet. God knows what will happen to her, but we do know the last time Zhang Huimei (张惠妹) sang the Taiwanese anthem, she was barred from performing in China.
