HK star Edison Chen finally (secretly) returned Hong Kong to make a public apology. There were around 200 media people who attended the press conference. But no Q & A allowed. In the speech where he read from, Edison admitted to taking the (raunchy) photos of him and other HK celebs. He apologized to his family, his fans to whom he’s failed as a role model, the “ladies” and their families, and the HK society. He mentioned that the photos were illegally taken for malicious purposes. He also said he will be away from HK entertainment industry
indefinitely. Watch his speech in English below.

You have to give him some credit. It takes a lot of courage and nerve for Edison to come back and make an official apology, especially if the rumors of him being hunted down by HK mafia is true. Edison said he’d be away from the industry indefinitely. Do you think he’ll be back within the year? Do you think people will miss seeing him? Who knows, maybe Hollywood will want him. After all, a lot of aspiring stars have sex videos of their own to make it big in Hollywood.

Edison also pleads to the public to get rid of the photos if they have them. If you have them, would you??

Hong Kong action star Nicholas Tse is rumored to have threatened divorce with wife, Cecilia Chung. Cecilia is currently entangled in an messy and ugly sex photos (over 400!) scandal with Edison Chen that had spread over the internet right before Lunar New Year. According to someone close to the couple, Nicholas Tse reported threw his wedding band in fury. To make matters worst (for Cecilia), speculations online says that the male genital part in the photos were not only of one man (Edison), but possibly involved another man.

Online resources analyze that in 2002, Cecilia became a third party between Nicholas and his then girlfriend Wang Fei. Later on, Nicholas and Wang Fei were back together. Meanwhile, there were rumors of relationship between Cecilia and Edison in 2003. By the end of 2005, Nicholas and Cecilia worked together on a film “Wu Ji” which re-started their romance. They married in 2006. There were also rumors that the nude photos of Cecilia (or her look-alike, as some would claim) were also taken in the same here. Edison, at that time, started his current girlfriend Vincy Yang.

Talk about complicated! What’s your guess? Do you think they will divorce? I hope not, after all, they just had a new baby.

It’s spreading like wildfire on the web. Nude photos and sex videos of Hong Kong’s “coolest celebrity”, Edison Chen with equally popular actresses Gillian Chung, Cecilia Cheung, and Bob Chan are all over the web. Photos and videos online with Edison also included other unidentified women. Another blog said it might be Jolin Tsai and a Japanese porn star.

Public apology by Edison is not going to help him from losing major endorsement contracts. He’s reportedly dropped by Manhattan Titanium, a credit card company. In addition, Edison has been dumped from the upcoming movie “Jump”, which is a joint production between Columbia Pictures and Stephen Chow’s company Star Overseas. All scenes involving Edison are said to have been cut from the film. Ouch!

8 people were arrested in connection of spreading the lewd photos. Hong Kong police raided the eLite Multimedia shop in their search for the source of the sex photos and took away four computers for investigation. Reports had earlier said Chen had sent his notebook to a company for repair last year and his photos were secretly copied. (Dude, you could have just hired someone to repair it at your place.) But the police have not confirmed if the sex photos of Chen, and actresses Cecilia Cheung, Gillian Chung and Bobo Chan—circulated on the web last week—were real or fake. They look very real to me.

So, do you think this is the end of Cecilia, Gillian and Bobo? All of them are have this sweet and innocent image on screen. After this scandal, no one’s going to buy that anymore. As for Edison, he’ll probably get high fives later from male peers. Edison sure messed up their lives. Cecilia’s husband, Hong Kong action star Nicholas Tse, will be negatively affected too for sure.
