Shirley Yeung Wears Revealing Clothes On Cold Day

2009-12-19T09:44:00.009+11:00

To welcome to Christmas festival, the cast of "A Chip Off The Old Block" appeared on the Street Of Early Republic Of China to "remember the past Christmas party". Each member of the cast also arrived dressed up as a classic figure; Myolie Wu pretended to be Audrey Hepburn, Shirley was Marilyn Monroe, and Ron Ng was James Dean. There was also a dance competition, and the one who had the most star stickers stuck on them won. As a result, it was Louis Yuen who had his face all covered up with stickers.

Shirley dressed up quite revealing immediately stole the limelight, as the weather that day was quite cold. It was so cold that she had a runny nose, so when she was asked if she was worried she will get sick? She smiles: "It'll be alright once I drink something hot. My first time pretending to be Monroe was quite interesting, because my mouth is alredy big, but I still needed to draw it bigger." (Needed to add a spot?) "An even greater woman's taste!" If there was a chance for Shirley to pretend to be someone else, she hopes she can be Madonna. She also reveals that her mum went to Taiwan for a holidays for a few days, so she hopes this Christmas she is able to receive more jobs to fill it for it, but also wishes that her jobs continue to New Year.

Ron Ng Clarifies That Shirley Yeung & Sammul Chan Are Not On Bad Terms

2009-12-07T21:29:00.004+11:00

Ron Ng and Shirley Yeung attended a X'mas Fanta Sea function at the Metro City Plaza yesterday and other guests included the Hong Kong Olympic Surfing Gold Medalist Lee Lai Shan and husband Wong Tak Sum. Ron and Shirley's "A Chip Off The Old Block" recently sired and this week's top rating was above 30 points, making the two very happy. However, there has been criticism saying that the series had copied the classic "Old Time Buddy". Ron reveals that they did not do so, the subject matter is just similar and is a relaxing comedy. Shirley says: "There has been very little series based on the 60s, so I have been watching myself. Now there are people calling me 'Fen Nu' (character's name)". (You have scenes where you have to take your clothes off?) "It is needed for the storyline".

There has been recent reports that when Shirley was filming "The Comeback Family", she was on bad terms with Sammul Chan. Asking Ron is Shirley is hard to work with? He supports her and says: "She is the female actress that I have worked with the most and so I do not think she is hard to work with. I have also worked with Sammul a number of times, they are both easy to work with. Therefore, it is hard for the two to be on bad terms with one another. It probably just a misunderstanding." (Is it easier for Sammul to work with male actors?) "He's always been easy to work with, being on bad terms with other people is just a rumour." Shirley also states that they have eaten dinner altogether when everyone has finished filming. Although they have not seen each other recently, it probably due to the fact that he is filming in the Mainland.

Shirley Yeung: My Dad Is My Asylum Station

2008-06-15T18:08:00.004+10:00

The seven day earthquake which struck Sichuan had destroyed a measureless number of families, making everyone realize how valuable families are. Leaving parents home for a while now due to work, Shirley Yeung chooses to return to their old home on Father’s Day with her dad and reminisce their past. The year Shirley entered the Miss Hong Kong pageant; her dad went to submit her entry form despite the heavy rain - and she had never forgotten that moment even till this very day.

Shirley says: “I remember when I was very young; my dad really liked taking me to the military compound where I would swim and just play a whole lot of aquatic activities. I have learnt so much from my dad. He has always been very strict towards my brother and I. We learnt manners and how to respect our teachers and their teachings. There are times when he wouldn’t say a word but through his eyes, I knew what to do.”

After being influenced by her dad, Shirley had actually thought about becoming a police officer, but because of her eyesight, there is no chance she will pass. She had never thought her dad holding her Miss Hong Kong pageant entry form will allow her to enter a new stage in life. Shirley says: “I have never thought about it after I filled in the form. It was the last day when you could submit the form, did my dad hand it in for me despite the rain. Luckily, I did not disappoint him this time.”

With the support of her dad, Shirley she entered the pageant and held nicknames coining her as innocent and obedient. At the time, she was still living with her parents and so was known as a "屋港姐". However, after taking home the 2001 Miss Hong Kong pageant winner title, promoted and started filming “Blade Heart” which was when her and Gregory Lee started dating, Shirley and her dad still share a close relationship despite that she had moved to live with her boyfriend.

Shirley is very optimistic. Every time she comes across something unhappy, she would forget it very quickly. Shirley says: “My house is my refuge shelter; my dad is my asylum station. No matter when I’m happy or upset, I can talk to my dad about it.” Looking at his daughter, Mr. Yeung says: “She hasn’t changed much ever since entering the industry - only becoming more mature. I can talk about anything with her. Sometimes I can elucidate to her, and tell her not to think about it if something troubles her. There are many different people in society, and I have seen her friends before. Shirley is a very filial daughter.”

Celebrating Father’s Day with her dad side-by-side, Shirley wishes her dad good health and hopes that all father’s in the world are also happy.

Shirley Yeung: You Don't Need Tiffany?

2008-05-08T18:09:00.000+10:00

Two-three years ago, there wasn’t much of a need so she only needed the brand “Starrywood”, which produced Mickey Mouse, Felix The Cat clothing to sponsor her.

The Shirley Yeung nowdays doesn’t need anything. She says: “When I earn money, I would give it to my mother to save it up for me - in preparation for emergencies.” Anyways, she has a new clothing sponsor, an Italian brand Perme, “is quite stylish”. Although the word “stylish” isn’t stylish at all, but it has definitely improved. (What is stylish this season?) “I believe it’s those star designs. I’ve actually asked colleagues who are into the latest fashion! I was right. “People at home also read fashion magazines.”

“You must improve when wearing clothes because people will mature!” Shirley has been interviewed many years ago, and it is obvious that she has taken hold of opportunities.

Speaking about “Forensic Heroes 2”, since Shirley plays a guest star in the series and there have been numerous rumours saying that she has not been getting along with the female lead, Charmaine Sheh - even though there are plenty of scenes between the two. “It’s like science! Because my character is quite independent, there is much fire in my eyes.”

The issue about boyfriend Gregory Lee being seen with Shirley at Macdonald’s was brought up. (I’ve [reporter] been to Kowloon City a lot of times but I never see the spokespeople of Macdonald’s like Eason and Joey there.) “Really? Why not ask to be the spokesperson? I’m lovin’ it!” (You’re really desperate for money?) “I believe that looking after my family and being greedy for money are two separate things.”

Her speech skills have matured.
Shirley doesn’t need Tiffany because she is already 29 years of age.

Half a year ago, Shirley’s exposure rate was quite high, but it wasn’t due to filming high-definition promotional clips - it was because she took part of hosting a magazine which asked people to invest their finance. Recently, rather asking showing people to see beautiful real estates, there was also a series “The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows” where she played a maid, as a guest star in “Forensic Heroes 2” and now is one of the leads in new series “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”. In the eyes of the media, it means she has been unfroze, but in her eyes, it’s a different story. “I really don’t think I was frozen. I have been working everyday, it was great. The money in my pocket has also increased and I even look better!”

Haven’t been filming for 9 months, there was another explanation. “I also believe that long series were filming during that time. ‘The Gem Of Life’ is 80 episodes long and ‘The Drive Of Life’ was 60. Many artistes have been held up for 6 to 9 months, so there weren’t much 20 episode series being produced.”

We have found our reason for being frozen - dating in public. “Do you think that’s the reason?” (I think that is some-what the reason.) “Everytime this issue is brought up, it’s always this reason. I really don’t think it has anything to do with it. The time when I wasn’t filming, many other artistes were like that too. Don’t need to worry about me, haha. I’ve always been quiet low-profile with dating. It is a normal part of my life and it’s not like we’re not letting people know.”

From last time we had an interview with Shirley; it is obvious that she has matured. Starting from small issues, “I have previously driven an Echo car for 5 years but I have changed it recently to a 7-seater car. I want my family to be more comfortable.” However, what had only changed was the outer appearance, “the soft toys? I have also put them back in the 7-seater car.”

Shirley had earlier lived in a ‘village’ in Saigon, but now she lives with her parents in scenaric house worth $HK 4 million in Lai Chi Kok. “We’re still paying off the mortgage. It’s more convenient in the city, but I like living in ‘villages’ more and there is more space for my 7 dogs to run around.”

She is changing more than ever, but in clothes sense: “My friends give me lots of suggestions, but many of the clothes are sponsored. Though, the clothes you see my in on the streets are my own. In the past, whenever I knew I would have to attend a function, I would then go out to buy new clothes. Now, it’s like I collecting books at home. If I see something I like, I would immediately buy it, as there will be times I can wear it eventually.”

There is also the fairytale world Shirley cannot say goodbye to. “I still like Hello Kitty and Mickey Mouse. I have a lot of soft toys and pyjamas of them but mostly of them are at home.”

In two interviews, we talked for 8 hours. I’m quite sure that Shirley likes to earn money, but she is definitely not arrogant - especially the times when you think of her boyfriend, Gregory Lee. After dating for 4 years, majority of newspaper headings and articles are always about the girl earning more money than the guy. “Reporters are always like that. With people writing like that about you is quite upsetting but it depends on how you interpret it. I have comforted him and that we are dating normally like anyone else would. It’s just wrong how people write about us like that.” As you can imagine, there is a lot of pressure put upon Gregory. “On the positive side, we both have to work even harder in our job with our determined effort.”

“I believe that money and love are definitely two different things. Even if you get married to someone rich, you might not be happy. The time he spends with you is very little, so it’s not just money that makes someone happy. Maybe because when I was young, we didn’t have that much money, so my mum had always taught me to be thrifty. I want to earn more money so that my family will have good days. I am frugal, but not greedy with money - they are two different things.”

Gregory has a lot of time on his hand, “Do you see him much? It’s ok. If we don’t see each other, we can still talk on the phone.... my whole family talks too!” Next up will be very sweet. Is he ideal person for marriage? “He’s pretty good. When I’m on a date, the aim is not having fun. We get along quite well, and our communication with each other is good. I’m a quiet person whereas he’s one who moves a lot, haha, but when he’s quiet I’m loud. It’s good that we both work well together, but sometimes he has a lot to talk about!”

Throughout the whole interview, the most surprising is this part. “In ‘Forensic Heroes 2’, Charmaine Sheh is the police and so she has to question me, we have quite a lot of scenes together.” I haven’t even asked yet, but she continued talking. “There are the most scenes with Charmaine in ‘Angels Of Mission’. Did you know there were a lot of science-related matters when we were filming? Because we were all facing one other, and there were sparks in our eyes. The words added even more provocation to it.”

I remember when asking about not getting along with one another, Shirley kept on saying no. This time, there are bones, but since they’re so big, you’ll definitely notice them. There is a chance you might choke someone to death. There is no comparison when being compared to the TV Queen. “I just said the result is very good, everyone did a great job. Those were just for series promotion, it’s not a big deal. We don’t feel awkward when we see each other and we chat sometimes too.”

In the end, Shirley suddenly remembers: “Ah! Can you please thank Siu Ching Jie (‘Forensic Heroes 2’ producer) for me? Also, have to thank Terry Tong (‘The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows’ producer) as well. They both gave me such a big chance.”

30 years of age. “Don’t remind me. Entering a time where a 3 comes first seems weird. It’s like I have to push myself to do even more work.” Shirley is actually 30 at the end of the year. However, she is not like any other female artistes. She gives many people the impression that she is not mature enough. “I’m actually starting to look more mature now. I’m maturing, I’m maturing. Make-up artist can’t help laughing. “Having a baby face has its advantages. You can work for a few more years.”

Shirley plays a maid in “The Silver Chamber of Sorrows”. When she had flown to Kuala Lumpar for promotion, “people would call me Chow Gook! I was really happy about that.”

Shirley claims that she has not contacted Charmaine privately. It’s normal as they are two different people. Shirley believes a dress that is worth $2000 is expensive. Luckily, Gregory and Ron Ng are two different people as well.

In 2004, Shirley won the “Most Improved Actress” award and in 2007, won the “Best Supporting Actress” award.

In “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly”, Shirley will be paired up with Eric Suen and Vivien Yeo will be their third party. In real life, has such thing happened? “I would step out because it’s too complicated. All of a sudden there is an extra leg in the space inbetween two people, very hard!” But she doesn’t need to worry; I believe that Gregory is quite faithful to Shirley.

2001 Miss Hong Kong winner is Shirley Yeung, 1st runner up is Gigi Chung and 2nd runner up is Heidi Chu. After participating in the pageant, they all went for their driver’s license, but actually a “van” license.

At the end of the year, Shirley will turn 30. She says that she hasn’t been online much, and just been to yum-cha with family.

Shirley Yeung Admires American Dramas & Actors

2009-09-03T12:41:00.000+10:00

When Miss Hong Kong winner Shirley Yeung is doing an exclusive interview with Wangyi, she reveals that her favourite American drama is "Sex and the City", but also enjoys "Friends". She believes that those series are worth watching: "the atmosphere with America dramas are very natural, which are probably aided through the use different camera angles. As for Hong Kong dramas, their way of emphasising issues are more dramatic. The facial expressions of Hong Kong actors need to be more exaggerated, for example, you must express your pain of headaches greatly, but this is all too obvious. I hope that Hong Kong dramas will learn from American dramas."

Shirley says that in "Sex and the City", American women/girls are very different to women/girls in Hong Kong, and as for "Friends" which is very funny, is very worthwhile to watch.

As for American dramas that are only aired once a week, makes Shirley admire the American actors very much "because they are able to research their role in great detail. For example, if the role needs to ride horses, there is actually time allowed for actors to learn; but its very different in Hong Kong - sometimes you will only know what your role is the week before."

Shirley Yeung Injures Herself In High School Leaving Her Cripple For 2 Months

2009-05-30T12:24:00.001+10:00

Miss Hong Kong Shirley Yeung has already left school days, but feelings for her mother school remain. This is because she started her education at this school when she was 6 years of age, and even injured herself playing sport. Beginning from Year 1 of primary school, Shirley studied at Kowloon's Maryknoll Fathers School until she graduated in Form 7.

Looking back 13 years at school, her most memorable incident was injuring herself while competiting in a basketball competition: "While at school, I played basketball and ping pong. In Form 5 there was a basketball competition and I broke my foot which was quite serious. My whole foot swell up and needed to use cruches for 2 months, and even until now it is an old injury! It was very painful back then, I usually took 15 minutes to walk a path, but after the injury, it took me an extra hour! It was a very memorable Form 5, because of this sports injury and affected my mood during exams."

At school, her school marks were passable, but in the area of sports, she was very athletic sportstar. Shirley even represented the school in outer competitions in basketball and ping pong. However, mentioning times in school, especially lunch times: "Every day eating lunch, I can go with a group of friends to a close noodle shop to eat. It was really happy!"

Shirley Yeung Keeps A Good Figure & Maintains Status As Slimming Spokesperson Big Sister

2009-05-16T12:23:00.000+10:00

With a devil's figure, Shirley Yeung has always been asked to do numerous swimsuit jobs, earning her much money in a year. However, Shirley says that she is not afraid of being threatened, and even continued her contact as the spokesperson for a slimming company - maintaining her status as big sister.

Running out infront with "young face big breasts", Shirley has always held down other fa dans, and became the big sister of swimsuit functions. However, in the recent year there are numerous models like Chrissie Chow and Wylien Chiu who use their figure as their selling point, stealing many swimsuit jobs. As for other models emerging, Shirley does not feel threatended. Very calm, she says: "Most important it to maintain it well. The market for models and artistes are quite different; models have alot of photoshoots and catwalk functions, whereas we aim to promote, so it's hard to compare."

Nevertheless, Shirley has kept an eye out for "competitors", and even openly prasied Chrisse. She says: "Her figure is really good". (Recently, her slimming advertisement was very hot, are you afraid there will be comparisons?) "Every slimming company will find the girl that suits them the best, its a friendly competition."

As the spokesperson for a slimming company, Shirley had already taken a few photoshoots, which includes a bikini top with shorts, a X-shaped swimsuit, a waist-revealing red night gown, a blue glittery dress and ten more other looks.

Shirley expresses that she was very satisfied with the result, and reveals that the night gown was specially designed. During the photoshoot, Shirley was worried that her stomach will show, so she was willing to starve herself for that moment. She explains: "After eating, you will see my stomach, so even though we filmed for 10 or more hours, I didn't dare eat anything. Though, most of the time its eat little in many meals, but in some areas, like arms or stomach fat will need the help of the slimming company." Lastly, Shirley also revealed that last year's hard-work earned her a six-figure sum.

Ron Ng Wipes Mouth After Kissing Shirley Yeung

2009-03-31T12:19:00.000+11:00

Yesterday, Ron Ng, Shirley Yeung and Sunny Chan appeared at a goldfish store in Sai Wan (Western District) to film a kissing scene for the new series "The Truth Of Father Him". Ron also brought along his sickness to film his kissing scene with Shirley. Shirley laughs that she is afraid that there are more germs than a "salty pork mouth", but as for Ron, he wipes his mouth after kissing Shirley.

Before the scene, both artistes ate gum to maintain a taste of freshness in their mouths. Recently, there have been many reports about a "salty pork hand" . However, Shirley is not worried at all. Ron says: "There are so many neighbours and reporters at the scene. No matter what angle or how it is filmed, it is all up to the directors decision. We have already finished discussing this issue, so we are not afraid of people saying anything."

Ron and Shirley's kiss lasted almost a whole minute, making bystanders watch in great interest. Although the two are professionals, they only took one take and completed the scene. Unfortunately the camera suddenly ran out of batteries so they were forced to film the scene again.

After the camera stopped rolling both times, Ron immediately used his hands to wipe his mouth when the kiss finished. He laughs: "Shirley's lip are too awesome! Her lip gloss is so thick." Ron also revealed that he brought his sickness to work: "A few days early I had gastroenteritis and within a day, I needed to go toilet over 20 times. Therefore, I had no choice but to go to the doctors and had a needle injected in me. Now I am feeling much better." Shirley heard and immediately comments: "Wow! Why didn't you tell me? Is it contagious? Luckily my immune system is good, so I don't think anything will happen."

Shirley reveals that she must constantly chew on gum throughout the series, making her teeth gums all sore and loose: "In the series, I am a superwoman. I kissed Ron the first time I saw him, I have a lot of guts!"

As Nancy Sit has been unwell with pancreatitis and gastritis, Shirley says that she had saw reports earlier and is extremely worried. She says: "I worked with Nancy in my first ever series. Not long ago, we filmed "The Silver Chamber Of Sorrows", so we have kept in contact." Once Shirley realised that Nancy's fans organised a birthday party for her, she immediately agreed to attend. Shirley also urged to Nancy to avoid working too hard: "I know she will try her very best to keep filming, but I hope she will remember to take a rest whenever she can and take care of herself."
