Fahrenheit is currently preparing for their concert that will be held in Hong Kong in September this year. The theme for this concert is “Fantasy”. When asked about who do they most “fantasize” about, it was revealed that both Chun and Jiro have a thing for Hong Kong female singers.
When Fahrenheit first announced that they were going to hold a concert this year, the 4 were deciding whether to reveal their body at the concert, to bring excitement to the Hong Kong fans. Aaron smiled and said that “Fantasy” means that whether it is on appearance or feeling that is portrayed, they will bring a very different Fahrenheit onto the stage.
In the past, Fahrenheit have separately filmed many idol dramas and movies, sparking a lot of rumours with various female stars. Earlier, when they were in Hong Kong for promotions, they were asked who do they most “fantasize” about. Chun thought for a long time before saying Vivian Chow. He said, “The first concert I ever went to was Vivian’s concert in Singapore. At the time, I also rode in the elevator lift with her and then after that, I began to notice her more. I even have her idol card.” Jiro said that he likes Kelly Chen’s voice, and that when he found out she was getting married, he had offered her his congratulations. And as for Aaron, initially he had a crush on Rainie Yang, but now he says that he has grown up and finds Angelina Jolie very attractive.
Fahrenheit has been busy with their solo careers in the past, Aaron smiled and said he is very happy that Fahrenehti can finally hold a concert together, to prove their singing skills. They hope that everyone will give them their support. Chun said, “This time there is a lot of pressure, we know that our management company has put in a lot of money for this concert so we must try our best to do a good job!”

Celebrity mum want to get preggie
Dee has been actively involved in voluntary work, yesterday she accompanied youths with mental disabilities to make mooncake. She intends to have a 3rd child in 2 years, and upon hearing that Matilda Tao is pregnant with a baby boy, she laments, “What are these people up to?” She confesses to get a boy in the future, she will not hesitate to use the ‘sperm separation technique’, she says, “Since I want to give birth, I want a baby boy”.
She faces the pressure of having a boy with ease, in reality, together with elder sister, Barbie Hsu, they have been quietly doing charity works, and together they have adopted as many as 55 children. The showbiz industry has been having a ‘baby boy boom recently, celebrities like Ji Qin, Jia Yong Jie, Matilda Tao have all confirmed to be adding a boy to their brood. This has added pressure on Dee who has announced that she will try for a 3rd child, she says, “I will have a 3rd child, although there are no pressures from my husband and in-laws, but since I want to give birth, I want a baby boy.”
Sperm separation technique
She reveals that to get a baby boy she has eaten Chinese herbs in the past, however it was proven unsuccessful. Will she use other scientific methods in the future? She laughs, “I already have the best sperm (referring to her husband), if I must try, I must try the ‘sperm separation technique’. But frankly, seeing everybody giving birth to a boy, I have no pressure, it seems so easy. It was not so deliberate previously, but in the future, I would put in more effort. Yesterday, she spent 60,000NTD on 100 boxes of mooncake to give to everyone, and appeal to everyone to buy the mooncakes to help the mentally disabled.

The anime adaptation of Yoshiki Nakamura’s Skip Beat! shōjo manga has been licensed by Top-Insight International Co., Ltd. to run on Taiwanese television simultaneously or nearly simultaneously with the Japanese broadcast in October. In Taiwan, the series will run on Chunghwa Telecom’s Multimedia on Demand (MOD) pay-per-view television service. The arrangement was revealed at the 9th Comic Exhibition, which is running from August 13 to August 18 at the Taiwanese capital of Taipei.
Director Kiyoko Sayama (Angel Sanctuary, Pretear, Princess Tutu, Vampire Knight) is working with the studio Hal Film Maker (Angel Sanctuary, Pretear, Princess Tutu) on this project. The story centers on a teenager named Kyōko who followed her childhood friend Shō to Tokyo as he pursues his show business dreams. Despite playing housekeeper for Shō, Kyōko overhears Shō dismissing her as a boring nobody. Furious, Kyōko vows to also become a singer and defeat Shō.
Gonzo has been streaming three anime titles on the YouTube, Crunchyoll, and BOST websites on the same day as their Japanese broadcast. Still other anime such as Afro Samurai ran on overseas television before their Japanese broadcasts, since they were primarily intended for the foreign markets. However, Skip Beat! will be the first anime in recent memory to run on television nearly simultaneously in both Japan and another country.

Jay Chou has been busy producing his new album but he still helped out his good friends Nan Quan Mama, he personally directed the MV for Nan Quan Mama’s new song “You Aren’t Like Her”, who would have thought that recently netizens would question the MV for being very similar to the Mvs for Korean idol group BIGBANG’s “A Fool With Only Tears” and “My Girl”.
Nan Quan Mama’s new song “You Aren’t Like Her” was composed by Jay Chou and the lyrics were written by Devon, Yuhao produced and arranged it mixing r&b with dance, director Chou even decided to personally film the MV for them, he took his crew to the Taipei factory which has over 70 years of history to film it through the night, but this time Jay Chou didn’t lend out his beloved car, but instead he used Devon’s friend’s Aston Martin.
Yuhao who participated in the MV, complained about the different treatment from the director, in fact in the MV Devon enjoyed his luck with women, he had a romantic bed scene with the female model who was playing the lead, it was bravely arranged for him to flirt on the bed, yet for Yuhao he had to dance in the rain, beforehand he had to practise for 3 days, this was an unexpected taste of sweetness for Devon before getting married, he was very appreciative to his friends, he smiled saying: “Is this the present for my bachelor party?”
Last week when the MV for “You Aren’t Like Her” was broadcasted, on the 10th immediately there were netizens comparing screenshots of clips from the MV and Korean idol group BIGBANG’s MV on blogs, they questioned a lot of parts, saying the looks were very similar, this caused a big discussion with arguments from both sides.
To this questioning, JVR Music expressed: “Jay hasn’t seen their MVs before.” Jay Chou also expressed: “Devon’s idol is basketball star Allen Iverson, that’s why he has braids like his idol; the car is an element I use quite often when filming MVs; Yuhao’s hip hop look, a lot of hip hop artists use this look, unless you want to make him wear a flowery shirt?” He explained it clearly and denied the plagiarism claims.
