In a television interview on a Star World Satellite program based in Shanghai, Edison described last year's photo scandal as an 'invisible gift'.

That poster for the Jeff Lau is quite nice. I need to read more about what this thing is -- who is it and all that.

Gosh, Anita Yuen looks great! Mature but still beautiful and charming!
