Netizens Ignore 'Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles' Plot, Busy Looking at Tavia Yeung's Nose

Tavia Yeung's "Pinocchio's Nose" is often a hot topic for Netizens. It had been rumored several times that she got plastic surgery and in her latest TVB series Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles in which she stars in, her nose became a hot topic once again. Netizens said Tavia's nose stands out too much. Many have been busy studying her nose rather than paying attention to the actual plot of the series. One Netizen even changed the title of the series from "名媛望族" to "名媛望鼻" (High Status Women Watching the Nose) teasing that everyone is just busy looking at the nose rather than watching the series.

Tavia is heavily supported to become this year's TV Queen, but Netizens said with disappointment that her performance so far has just been average, nothing special. This series is Rebecca Zhu's debut, but Netizens said her acting is too stiff and teased that her Cantonese is no good. She needs to really working on improving.

In the series, Damian Lau, Kenneth Ma and Vincent Wong have many English lines to accommodate that time period, but a majority of the Netizens thought there was too much use of English.

Tavia Yeung trusts him the most, Him Law Meets the Parents

Last year after Him Law broke off with Theresa Fu, it was already rumored that he often served as Tavia Yeung's driver and strongly pursued her while shooting The Hippocratic Crush. Then the two were spotted BBQing together and on dates, although their relationship surfaced, they refused to make it public. A few days ago, Tavia was spotted sleeping on Him's thigh while he was driving her home. Even when reporters were madly taking pictures, Tavia was still unwilling to lift her head up or show her face. Because the incident damages their image, the next day, Tavia and Him quickly held a press conference in Tseung Kwan O to explain.

[Article goes on recapping the press conference and Tavia's explanation...]

It appeared Tavia had tears forming in her eye, she admitted she did cried earlier that day, but she knew crying won't solve anything. This has been her most negative news since her debut. She didn't want her family and friends to worry about her, so she decided to come forward. She said: "Artists are humans too. I understand the basic principle, I won't do something that I know is unlawful!"

Him and Tavia's relationship officially surfaces after their one statement, "still getting to know each other" at the press conference. However, close friends know they have long gone beyond the 'getting to know each other' stage. Him was asked what he likes about Tavia? He said: "She is very family-oriented and responsible. She is persistent towards her work." Him said he feels very comfortable with Tavia, and they just naturally got together. Although Tavia is 5 years older, to Him, the 'sister-brother relationship' is not an issue at all. "Love is not about the age gap, most important is being able to communicate and having common future goals and direction."

When speaking of his break up with Theresa Fu and then dating Tavia, both relationships had been on the entertainment new headlines, does he believe he has to reflect on his actions? "Dating is personal. I'm a normal person and never thought it would get so much media attention and reaction. I also cannot just explain it with one or two words...but I believe, as a public figure, must watch your actions and what you say."

Him has been photographed several times driving Tavia around, it was rumored he spends the night at her house too. He said: "I do frequently go over to her house to have dinner and soup. I met her mother before, but we aren't cohabiting." As for Tavia, she quickly denied: "The truth is, I'm cohabiting with my mom."

Earlier it was rumored, several months ago, the couple were already talking about marriage, but Tavia said: "No, if there is an opportunity we'll let you all know!" Him also denied, but he once said he is a 'big man', when he does get marry in the future, he won't allow his girlfriend to work. Also, it would be best to live with his parents. If it really doesn't work out like that, he has to at least live nearby, convenient for him to look after his parents.

Also, Chris Lai and Tavia's elder sister Griselda Yeung attended TVB sitcom Come Home Love Mid-Autumn Festival event yesterday. In regards to ex-rumored girlfriend Tavia's 'car sex' incident with Him Law, Chris deeply believed they won't act that way. He said: "I've known Tavia for many years, she never had good alcohol tolerance. Once she gets drunk, she sleeps and goes unconscious. In the past, I drove her home before too (Did Tavia sleep on your thigh too?) No. She said she trust Him Law the most, of course she'll lay one someone she trusts the most, and not some taxi driver."

Griselda supported her sister to take legal action on any news that are not true. She said: "I believe in Tavia's personality. At most, she'll just sleep on someone's thigh, but definitely won't do what the news said. That is not what a normal person does anyway. I trust my family and that won't be wrong."

TVB & Tavia Yeung Sends Demand Letter to 'Apple Daily' for an Apology

Tavia Yeung and Him Law already had their press conference to explain the 'car sex' incident. Yesterday their companies, TVB and Filmko, clearly stated they will be taking legal action against the related parties to safeguard their artists and get justice back for them. Yesterday, TVB Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) expressed the incident had tremendous impact both Tavia and Him's image and reputation. Their managements are following closely with the case, TVB has already sent a demand letter to Apple Daily and Sharp Daily demanding an apology to TVB and the artists. As for Tavia, she had decided to personally hire a lawyer and take legal action against Apple Daily.

It was said TVB sent someone out to the newspaper offices to look at the pictures, but Mr. Tsang expressed there is no such thing. However, he does admit someone did indeed call TVB executive Virgina Lok, this time the decision to send out the demand letter was made by TVB in order to safeguard the artist (Tavia) and to get the truth out of the report. When asked if TVB plans to shut out Apple Daily and Sharp Daily reporters from taking part in any of TVB events? Mr. Tsang expressed they will have to see how Apple Daily/Sharp Daily respond first before taking any further action.

Also, asked if TVB demanded Apple Daily to hand over the raw photos? Mr. Tsang said: "We don't have demands, just asking for an apology. (Is there a deadline to when they have to apologize?) Sometimes, but it's not convenient for me to talk about it. We want a response soon. (What type of apology did TVB request?) Let's see how they react first. The contents of the lawyer letter, I cannot say."

The other night, Tavia posted on Weibo. She said today's injuries strengthens her life. For all the bad things that happened is the past, she will continue to work hard on her jobs and tomorrow is a new day. The other victim, Him Law, expressed: "My company, Filmko, has already passed the case on to the lawyer. This incident hurt Tavia more than me. Reputation is very important to a woman, so I hope the media can publicly apologize to her (Tavia) and give us our justice." Filmko expressed they hope the media will make a public apology to Tavia and Him, otherwise further legal action will be taken.

Tavia Yeung & Him Law's press conference clarifies the 'car sex' incident & relationship

Today, Tavia Yeung and Him Law held a press conference, accompanied by Virgina Lok, to explain the incident from a few nights ago. Reporters spotted Tavia hiding herself with her face in between Him's legs, while he was driving her home. It was suspected they had 'car sex' as well since Tavia appeared to have some drool on the corner of her lip after she got up from laying on Him's legs/thighs.

Tavia: "That day, we had the 13th TVB Artistes Training Class reunion. Basically this is held each year, we all have dinner and drink. I rarely go out to gatherings or go out to social. My alcohol tolerance isn't high either, that night I had such a good time, I drank a lot. Prior to going to the reunion, I already told Him Law, 'Why don't you come pick me up, I definitely won't be able to drive after drinking and hope to have someone I trust take me home.' My classmates and I all drank a lot, we were pretty drunk. When we were leaving, he [Him] already told me there is paparazzi outside. I personally don't like too much attention, I don't want people to follow me when I go out. There was Meini Cheung and two other classmates that went in the taxi with me. We went to Meini's house and then I got in his car later. I already started vomiting in the car, and don't remember what happened. When I got off the taxi, I started vomiting all over the floor, until Him came to pick me up, I already don't remember what happened. As an artist, actually nobody wants to let others see them drunk. To a person I trust, that moment when I slept on his thigh, there definitely are no doubts and is not what the media tried to twist. What I must mention is, why did you all see those pictures, because when we got to the entrance gate of my house, he warned me, 'Hey, Ah Yi, hurry wake up, there's dogs [paparazzi].' An artist facing such a sensitive moment, the first reaction I had was to cover my face with my hat. But when I got up, I felt like throwing up, so I took the bowl of noodles next to him (perhaps he was waiting for me too long and didn't have anything to eat), once I got the bowl, I started throwing up. After throwing up, I had some wet spots on the corner of my lips and this is how the news report came up. Actually I want to clarify, absolutely nothing like what the report said happened in the car (referring to the 'car sex'). Of course, there were some things in between that I don't remember, so he will have to tell you all."

Reporter: So are you and Him publicly announcing the relationship now?

Tavia: We are currently in the direction of getting to know each other and letting nature take its course.

Reporter: Then do you think there is a chance?

Him: I think relationships, leave it to fate. In the future, Tavia and I will positively develop the relationship, but currently we are indeed in the process of getting to know each other. (Tavia: Yes)

Reporter: Are you two still cohabiting?

Tavia: Cohabiting? The truth is I'm cohabiting with my mother, it had been like that all along. I think the word cohabiting could mean, if spotted going in/out together, then it could be called cohabiting; if spotted in the car together, then it could be called cohabiting too. I think the first priority is work. Just like what we just said, we are still in the stage of getting to know each other, and in the future if we develop further, then we'll let you all know.

Reporter: But when you got in the car, you didn't even put on your seat belt?

Him: Actually I was wrong here too. I shouldn't have let her lay on me for so long...I should perhaps...but.. (*both starts laughing) (Tavia: Not laying on you, no.) Well you all know what I mean...

Tavia: Because when I got in the car, when a person is drunk and kinda just collapsed, what can't happen? But in an environment of trust, there are no doubts.

Reporter: Well in the report, it said there was some 'foreign matter' seen?

Tavia: Then did you see it?

Reporter: I didn't.

Tavia: Let's take it out and see it then.

Reporter: Any embarrassment?

Tavia: No, I didn't do it, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Actually, I already discussed with my lawyer today and I reserve the right to take legal action because I think this damages my reputation. To some extent the published words is defamation. I will have my lawyer follow-up with this incident.

----------------

[*** Eileen Cha did a separate interview with Him and Tavia on Scoop. There may be some overlap with the press conference. ***]

Eileen: Him, if she wasn't Tavia and perhaps Meini, would you have let her sleep on your thigh too?

Him: As I have a very good relationship with Tavia, of course I will take care of her. If it was Meini, I would perhaps have some other friends take her home.

Eileen: Then what happened? Tavia woke up, and reporters took pictures?

Him: Actually I was already waiting for her at Meini's house. I saw her throwing up, so of course I went to look after her. I helped her into the car. Well actually I set 2-3 hours aside ahead of time (Eileen: very attentive), because I knew she would drink a lot and have a good time.

Eileen: How come you didn't tell her not to drink then?

Him: If she would listen.

Tavia: No, I would only drink with friends I trust. Even if I'm laying on his thigh, I know he's someone I trust. If I'm sitting in a taxi, would I lay on the driver's thigh? Then the news wouldn't be like this.

Eileen: Did you continue to take care of her when she got home?

Him: Well Tavia's mom was there. I saw that she was safe, then I just took the taxi home.

Eileen: 40 minutes in the car, what were you two doing, why did it take so long?

Him: I don't know how long it takes, but it takes time to drive back to Tavia's house. I was driving slowly because she's drunk, I was afraid she would throw up and not feel well. I don't mind if she throws up on me, I can wash it off, I'm more concerned of her feeling.

Eileen: Tavia, do you really trust Him, and always ask him to drive you?

Tavia: I usually drive myself around. Of course, I trust him. When your drunk, you want to get in a car that you trust.

Eileen: Tavia has been very nervous, and we tell her, if she didn't do anything, there is nothing to be nervous about. So, why are you still facing this so seriously?

Tavia: Eileen, I'm sure you know me well. I watch myself very closely, especially my career. After this incident, I don't think I can just relax and say I didn't do it and that's it. I want to formally clarify that we did not do anything like what the report said. It provides an explanation for myself and my family, that nothing like that happened. I've been worried, even though I knew such news would come out because it will definitely damage my image and affect us both. I'm also worried, my family would be affected emotionally. For other things that I didn't do, I'm not worried that people will criticize.

Eileen: But you rarely have these types of news.

Tavia: Zero. So, that's why I think I absolutely have to clarify this incident. For myself, for Him, for my family, for everyone who cares about me, I think I have to clarify my personal integrity because as a public figure, everyone is watching you and what you do. If our behavior is like this, I think I would be ashamed to be acting or to send any positive messages to the public. I have a lot of younger fans, so I feel I must clarify this incident.

Eileen: What is your relationship now?

Tavia: We are currently getting to know each other. He is a person who takes good care of me. There are a lot of things we can't predict. What I think is most important now is to clarify the incident. As to our future development, it depends on what path we take. I hope everyone just don't judge our character just based on this incident and we did something bad.

Eileen: What about you Him? Tavia just described you, how about you?

Him: Of course, Tavia is a good girl. Just like she said, sometimes she can get really playful, but that's fine. I can look after her and protect her. For the future, we will develop the relationship in a positive way.

----------

Also, after the report came out Tavia posted on Weibo, she said: "As public figures, we always reflect on our personal integrity and actions, but as the media, do you all have personal integrity? An article written with a pen can be so remarkable, is it because the Hong Kong media has already reached the end? For what reason do you all not report the truth, but instead twist the truth? .....where is your conscience....."

After the press conference, Him said on Weibo: "Just completed the press conference, set the record straight! I hope friends that support me will understand the truth through my interview with Eileen Cha on Scoop. I know sometimes what we see from our eyes is not the truth. I definitely do what was said in the report."

Caught Directly In Car: Tavia Yeung hides herself in between Him Law's legs

It has always been an open secret in the industry that 33 year old TVB FaDan,Tavia Yeung, is dating 28 year old Him Law, but they never officially made their relationship public. Last night, the couple were spotting in the car together. Him just got back from working in Sanya, and was spotted driving to Hung Hom to pickup girlfriend Tavia, and then take her home to Tseung Kwan O. In the 40 minute car ride, Tavia was seen hiding with her face between Him's legs the entire time. When [Apple Daily] reporters rushed forward to take pictures, Tavia was very embarrassed and refused to show her face.

Although Him and Tavia did everything they could to conceal their 'sister-brother' relationship, this time when Him was driving Tavia home, they were naturally caught by reporters. At around 7pm, Tavia and her classmates from the 13th TVB Artistes Training Class, including Matt Yeung and Tsui Wing, celebrated their 14th anniversary together at a Japanese restaurant in Hung Hom. At around 9pm, Tavia went outside near the restaurant entrance to make a phone call. At the classmate reunion dinner, Tavia uploaded a group photo of them having a great time on Weibo, it appears she was in a great mood and had several drinks. She and the group didn't leave until 1am. Tsui Wing and Matt first helped Tavia into the taxi, while Him was in a separate car secretly followed behind. When the taxi got to a dark street in Hung Hom, Tavia got off the taxi and immediately jumped into Him's car. They didn't leave immediately, but instead waited 10 minutes before taking off. When Him drove into the city, he maintained a slow speed of 30km, but Tavia's head wasn't seen in the car anymore. Perhaps people may misunderstand because Tavia knew reporters were following, so she got out of the car and left.

However, after 30 minutes into the car ride, reporters still couldn't see Tavia's head in the passenger seat. When the car turned towards the parking lot near Tavia's home in Tseung Kwan O, there was some leeway for the car to stop. Reporters took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward to take pictures. To the reporters' surprise, Tavia was still in the car, but hid her face between Him's legs. Based on natural reactions, we predicted Tavia wanted to avoid the reporters in the fastest way possible, so she quickly dived towards Him's legs and tried to hide herself. It is believed, she was in that same position for a period of time during the car ride. At the time, she was in an ambiguous position, as if she had a super secret and was afraid to show her face.

Lawrence Ng gives clues on his female co-star in 'The Hippocratic Crush II'

Lawrence Ng and Patrick Tang attended the last show of musical Queen of Windsurfing (風之后). He reveals February of next year, he'll be participating in TVB's The Hippocratic Crush II. He denied that he's making a TVB comeback because he owes them: "Earlier at Eric Tsang's birthday party, I bumped into Virgina Lok and we made a deal. I'm not doing this for money, it is to help TVB. I benefit too. The sequel will be with the original cast, but let me first spill some of the beans, the lead actress is someone who has collaborated with me before. She's top quality and isn't married yet. Ada Choi is too busy, but I hope we'll have a chance [to collaborate] in the future."

Side Note - According to TVB Weeky's chief editor(Weibo@ckwok), Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung are confirmed to be in the sequel. Yesterday they attended Three Kingdoms RPG celebration.
