Vivian Chow and Joe Nieh

Before

After nearly two decades together and overcoming numerous tempestuous break-ups and reunions, celebrity couple Vivian Chow (周慧敏) and publisher and DJ Joe Nieh (倪震) finally announced the end of their relationship this week.

Emotions had been riding high since it was revealed on Monday that Joe had been openly cheating on Vivian whilst partying in Lan Kwai Fong and media attention was fuelled by reports that Vivian had been extremely angry and even moved back to her maternal home. After several days of contemplation, both Vivian and Joe issued statements to the press on Thursday, revealing that their relationship of 19 years is officially over.

Both parties referred to the constant media pressure placed on their very public relationship and Vivian pointed out that they had parted company out of understanding and not in the erratic and ridiculous way that some reports had described. She went on to say that although their relationship with each other has changed now, she and Joe are still friends and will forever be entwined together through the past that they have shared.

Vivian ended her statement with a message to everyone who has supported her: "I have not wasted the bold and explosive love for Joe, which is deeply ingrained in my bones. There are no regrets in this life. Going forward, I will still live as courageously on my own."

Joe described himself as unfit to be Vivian's boyfriend and as a result, he has decided to give up this position. He admitted that he has issues to face up to and does not rule out professional help to make amends. He said that he hopes that he can still fulfil his duties as a good friend and thanked Vivian for her understanding over the years and for her forgiveness.

The former couple hoped that in making these statements, the matter can be put to rest.

After 7 days apart...
Only a week after a very public announcement of the breakdown of the relationship between Vivian Chow (周慧敏) and Joe Nieh (倪震), there has been a 180-degree turn in events as it seems that the couple now plan to get married.

Joe, 44, was recently snapped in a Lan Kwai Fong bar kissing 21-year-old student Mifty Zhang.

Despite both parties clearly stating that their relationship was over in separate statements issued last week, Joe issued another statement today that announced that their renewed relationship is stronger than ever following the challenges and they have learned that they cannot be apart and must cherish each other. His message continued with the notification that Vivian, 41, had accepted his marriage proposal and they have applied to the registry office for a wedding date. Finally, he requested a blessing for them both.

After issuing the press release this afternoon, Joe drove off to Vivian's home, where he stayed until the evening, leaving the rather confused and bemused reporters waiting over ten hours for him outside.

Edmond Leung Marries Karen Lam

Emma Lam

After dating for many years and numerous calls from fans to get married, Edmond Leung finally tied the knot today with girlfriend Karen Lam at the Island Shangri-La Hotel in Admiralty.

Dressed in a light blue suit, Edmond met with the press ahead of the ceremony at around 4pm, accompanied by his entourage of eight - Eason Chan , Dicky Cheung , William So , Eddie Ng , Wilfred Lau , Andy Hui , Au Yeung Tak Fan and Conroy Chan . When he arrived at the venue, Edmond expressed how nervous and excited he was.

Asked if he was worried about getting drunk on his big day, Edmond smiled that he had plenty of good friends and brothers to help him out, so he hoped to stay clear-headed so that he can remember ever moment of this special day. Asked what vows he will be making to his wife, Edmond said that he wishes for his wife to be happy forever and to build a family with her. He said that he admired her positive outlook and promised to be a responsible husband. As for whether or not he will be starting a family soon, he said he will let nature take its course. Asked if his uncle Wan Chi Keung will be attending, Edmond said that it will depend on the condition of his health, but he knows that his uncle does want to take part in the celebrations.

With the announcement from Joe Nieh about his plans to marry Vivian Chow being released on the same day as his wedding, Edmond was asked if he minded this stealing his limelight. He said he was thinking about nothing apart from his own marriage, but offered his congratulations to Joe and Vivian.

The ceremony took place at around 6pm, witnessed by over a hundred friends and family members. The bride wore a white wedding gown and the marriage was witnessed by both sets of parents. Edmond showed his nerves when he almost read his wife's vows as well as his own, but all went well as the couple sealed their marriage with a long and loving kiss.

The reception was hosted by Dicky and Eric Tsang and Eason presented the couple with performances of his songs "Ferris Wheel of Fortune" and "No Other In The World"

Gossip says

Eva Longoria only had the nerves to give Russell Crowe's inner thigh at test drive this weekend -- but J. Lo's husband Marc Anthony wasn't afraid to go in for the kill.








Threesome partied at the Lavo Lounge in Las Vegas along with a pile of other celebs.

Posing provocatively in nothing but a striped necktie, Jennifer Aniston has appeared in her most sultry photoshoot to date to grace the front cover of American GQ magazine.The former Friends star took the opportunity to show off her stunning honed figure, which defies the fact that she will turn 40 next year.

Aniston, who earlier this week gushed about her love for her 'extraordinary' boyfriend John Mayer, also fanned the flames over her rivalry with Angelina Jolie.In a barbed remark, the actress joked that she goes on holiday with Jolie and Brad Pitt on weekends.

'The funny thing is that people don't realise we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends,' she told the magazine

No. But can you imagine? That'd be hysterical,' and making a reference to the couple's children, she added: 'I've got Zahara on my hip, and Knox....'

She also spoke about how she is still in touch with Pitt.

'We don't not talk,' she said. 'When there's something to congratulate or celebrate, there's always an exchange. But there's no charge on it.'

And asked if she talks to Jolie, she retorted: 'No, Nuh-uh.'

Aniston's latest rebuttal comes as she faced the final insult this week over her marriage breakdown with Pitt after he reiterated Jolie's recent confession that they fell in love while filming Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004 - seven months before he split with Aniston.
After being asked why the action film is his favourite, he explained: 'Because you know... six kids. Because I fell in love.'

His revelation came two months after Jolie told the New York Times that she fell for him while making the movie.Referring to their children watching the film, she said: 'Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love.'

But Aniston's naked ambition also sends out a clear message about her new-found confidence as her relationship to 31-year-old Mayer goes from strength to strength.In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Aniston said: 'He's a rare one. He is extraordinary and it is wonderful to watch him.

'The way his brain works and the way he thinks thoughts... it's beautiful.

'It's an amazing thing to watch a musician think. I don't know many musicians but when his guitar is on him it's just like a channel.

'It's something I've never ever seen before.'The last time the star graced the front cover of the magazine was in 2005 when she appeared in nothing but a short denim skirt.
