MSN: Benny Chan has yet to donate
...when Josephine Siao -- veteran actress and founder of the End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation -- was questioned about Benny's donation at a recent event, she said, "I've been waiting for someone to ask me about this. I heard that the media had placed him under tremendous pressure."

"We welcome any donation from kind souls. In truth, there are many perpetrators who have not been caught. If each of them makes a donation, we'll be rich. I hope Benny can help to drive this moment," she added, when probed if the foundation had received the actor's donation.

FBA: Battle of the Brides (Vietnam) review
Unoriginal but smoothly mounted rom-com of a serial Romeo and his multiple brides.

THR: Police Stop Christian Bale from Visiting Blind Activist in China
The situation is also awkward for director Zhang, who spent most of his early career seeing his films banned by the government despite international acclaim. However, Zhang is now the Chinese government's favorite director, having overseen the production of the opening ceremonies for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

FBA: China BO crosses RMB12b in 2011
Although there are various online rumours, there are no clear signs yet of any impact on Flowers distribution as a direct result of Christian Bale's CNN-recorded visit to a human rights activist that aired internationally today.
While Bale appears sincere, the news report comes soon after actress Hilary Swank came under attack for her political naivete. Earlier this month, Swank apologised for appearing at the birthrday celebration of reviled Chechen autocrat Ramzan Kadyrov.

Benny also emphasised that he had learnt the severe consequences of getting drunk and hoped that Rose and her family would accept his apology. He added that he will make a donation to the End Child Sexual Abuse Foundation, so as to serve as a reminder not to repeat the same mistake.
According to an insider, both parties had reached a mutual agreement. Rose had decided not to file charges against Benny, and Master Sin was to have made an announcement at 2.30pm yesterday to put an end to the case

Interestingly, the letter was published on the last day for Rose Chan and her martial arts instructor Sin Kwok Lam to file a complaint with the Chinese police about Benny Chan's drunken groping – according to police procedures in China, complaints must be filed no more than 30 days after the incident occurred.
"When I do something good, nobody says anything," Chen lamented.
"But when I do something a little, little bit bad, it becomes a very big story. I can't be that bad right?"

When the media probed if he would still take intimate photos with his girlfriend again, the singer did not give a direct answer and replied, "I don't think it's that simple. I'm not answering (the question), because that's my private life."
To show his determination to change, Edison declared, "These things will not happen again. If it does, you will not see Edison Chen again."

"Kissing Gate" doesn't seem to quite capture the real essence of this tawdry incident. Tabloid photos at the bottom of the post. The details, so far:

Rose Chan

MSN:Joe Ma and Benny Chan rumoured to have forcibly kiss Rose Chan after getting drunk (11/21)
The actress was at a gathering with actors like Timmy Hung, Louis Fan, Alex Fong, Joe, Benny, Michelle Ye and the production crew when the incident happened.

The group had gone for a meal followed by a karaoke session that night.

MSN: Joe Ma and Benny Chan apologise for improper act towards Rose Chan (11/22)
Yesterday, the Hong Kong media reported that actors Benny Chan [Ho-Man] and Joe Ma [Tak-Chung] denied rumours of kissing their 19-year-old co-star Rose Chan forcefully.

The young actress blamed herself for trusting the wrong people
Clad in black attire with little make-up, the actress appeared pale and on the brink of tears when she made her appearance.
The actress also revealed that one reason she attended the dinner was because of co-star Timmy Hung, who was present.
Rose explained that she had trusted Timmy as Sammo Hung - Timmy's father, and Master Sin (Rose's boss) was on good terms with each other.

Prior to the release of the photos, Benny Chan flatly denied that he had behaved inappropriately toward Rose Chan and said he was simply "too friendly towards guests".
"The most I did was just to put my arm around her shoulder," Benny Chan told Hong Kong media.
However, he too changed his tune when the photos were published.

MSN: Rose Chan receives gag order (11/24)
It was rumoured that actor Benny Chan enlisted the help of an influential person to stop the actress from revealing more details on her molestation case
When Rose was asked if she received a gag order, the actress admitted and subtly hinted, "Someone did ask me to keep my mouth shut."
Furthermore, it was said that Rose went to her trusted friend Timmy Hung the day after the incident, and told him about it. Instead of helping her, the actor asked her to lie and conceal her bad experience into a story, which will lessen the seriousness of the matter.
Benny Chan and Joe Ma compensations
"I forbid Benny from leaving his apartment. He needs to reflect upon his actions."Meanwhile, Joe attempted to extricate himself from Rose's harassment incident by separating himself from Benny. Early in the morning, Joe wrote on his blog, "The incident the other night may be attributed to Benny's misconduct after drinking too much alcohol.
"I fully support you. This is not the first time a certain someone did something like this, so you really have to protect yourself," wrote Gillian.
"What the two culprits did was really an eye opener. Benny is like a creep who molested a girl on a school bus, while Joe sold his friend out for fame," said Director Wong Jing angrily.

MSN: Benny Chan apologises with wife in tow (11/25)
After the event, the media found a script left behind on the desk. The script dictated what the actor should say and do during the press conference, and even included a handwritten note, reminding Benny to "thank [his] supportive fans".
The revelation led netizens to feel that Benny's apology lacked sincerity.
Even as Hong Kong celebrities like Simon Yam and Eric Tsang criticise Benny Chan and Joe Ma over the incident, sceptics questioned if Rose Chan had set the whole thing up to gain publicity.
They point out that is highly uncommon for Hong Kong paparazzi to operate in Hengdian, yet it was the Hong Kong paparazzi who were present when the incident occurred and snapped the damning photos.
