TVB Extravaganza 2009

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

This year's talent dinner was quite boring and very commercialized, 'hard-selling' sponsor products. Also, TVB condensed the performances by cutting all of them short.

The best performances of the night were by Johnson Lee and Wong Cho Lam.

Cho Lam sang "Wordless Ending" using a female voice and male voice. He sounded so much like the original version.


Johnson imitated 10 singers, Four Heavenly Kings, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Hacken Lee, Dave Wang, Leo Ku, and Chris Wong. However, TVB did not show him singing as Leon, Leo, and Chris.

Also, the media lied! Tavia was so there! She came in the middle of show and sang Sammi Cheng's "Forever Beauty".

On an unrelated note, Ma Ming said that his character will not die in "Grand Entrepreneur", and he also said that "Iron Horse Seeking Bridge" will start sometime in April.

Sexual Harassment in TVB

Kingdom Yuen went on a radio show recently and exposed that there is a male artiste in TVB sexually harassing female artistes in TVB.

Kingdom said that this male artiste is tall and handsome, and is nicknamed the 'Magician' because he used magic to distract the attention from the female artistes to touch their bust area.

5 Characteristics of the 'Magician Salt Pork Hand'

01. Polite and handsome
02. Taller than Bosco Wong
03. Loves to cook and seems like a family guy
04. Has filmed travel programmes in the past
05. Secretly dated a female artiste

Sexual Harassed Female Artiste A: "She is a person who likes to sleep in others' bed".

Kingdom Yuen: "The first incident happened at TVB City during lunch time. 'Magician' noticed that Female Artiste A did not go out for lunch, so he took the initiative to talk to her. He told her that he knows magic and can make a napkin go through her body without ripping the napkin. He then held the napkin and showed her that it was a normal napkin. He then threw the napkin up in mid-air and touched the girl's shoulders down to her breasts. His hands stayed on her breasts for a whole second. The girl was shocked and did not know how to react. There was no evidence to prove that he did it on purpose, so the whole incident was not publicized".

Sexual Harassed Female Artiste B: "At the time, she was about to get married, and she is polite girl".

Kingdom Yuen: "The second incident happened during the filming of a travel programme. The location was a hotel swimming pool. Female Artiste B was standing by the side of the pool and 'Magician' offered to help her into the pool. She took on his offer because she was afraid of slipping. But he did not hold onto her hand (causing her to fall), and he grabs hold of her waist. It can be the slipperiness of the water, but he 'slipped' from her waist up to her breasts. She was instantly shocked and later cried in her hotel room. I don't know whether he slipped or did it on purpose".

Female Artiste A and Female Artiste B have some of the same friends and later talked about 'Magician' and the incidents they had encountered. They came to the conclusion that he did it on purpose and have secretly informed the female artistes in TVB, so they can take precautions.

Female Artistes' Views

Fala Chen: "If I encounter this, I will inform the company's security department because I believe they will take action. Plus, I am a good fighter. Don't touch me. Touch me and I'll beat you!"

Suki Chui: "Never heard about this! What will I do if this happens to me? I'll beat him, and I'll ask him, 'What are you doing?!'"

Yoyo Chen: "It is very hard to judge whether it was done on purpose or whether it was an accident while working unless it happens all the time. I'll tell the company, director, or producer about it".

Linda Chung: "These types of rumours happen all the time, but I have never experienced this before. I've heard of people saying there is a 'Salt Pork Hand'. I will look around and take precaution to protect myself".

Shirley Yeung: "I've heard Leung Si Ho talk about it on the radio, but I can't guess who this 'Salt Pork Hand' is. It really is an eye-opener. I would like to find out who this is".

Personal Note: I was not going to translate this article at first, but I have to clear some names here. People are guessing it is Moses Chan, Joe Ma, Kenneth Ma, Timmy Hung, Vin Choi, Mat Yeung, etc. It seems like Lai Lok Yi or Vin Choi based on those 5 Characteristics.

01. Polite and handsome (Lai Lok Yi seems polite and handsome in the eye of the beholder.)
02. Taller than Bosco Wong (Lai Lok Yi and Vin Choi are both taller than Bosco.)
03. Loves to cook and seems like a family guy (Lai Lok Yi is more of a family guy than Vin Choi.)
04. Has filmed travel programmes in the past (Almost every artiste has filmed a TVB travel programme before.)
05. Secretly dated a female artiste (Vin Choi was suspected to be 'Mr. B' in the missing cell phone incident with suspected 'Miss A' Yoyo Chen.)

To be honest, the first name that popped into my head when I was reading this article was Lai Lok Yi. Just based on whole 'Magician' thing, he seems to be the prime suspect, as he performed magic in the past two Talent Dinners.

Ma Ming's Left Forearm Scar

maming_singapore01maming_singapore02

I would guess that Ma Ming got his left forearm scar from soccer, and he did.

Fanta from 馬國明國際影迷會論壇 asked Ma Ming about his scar. Ma Ming explained that he broke his left arm back then while playing soccer, and the scar was left from surgery. Fanta asked Ma Ming if a plate was implanted into his arm and if it was taken out a year later. Ma Ming said yes, and he was very surprised and wondered how Fanta knew. Fanta also fractured an arm, but did not require surgery because Fanta seeked a Chinese practitioner.

(Pictures taken when Ma Ming was leaving Singapore airport.)
