It is tradition for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival, one of the biggest film events in China, to be held in a different host city each year.

Thanks for the link!
Where are Cherie's handlers in that pic? She doesn't just wander around like that does she?
If I saw her at Christmas in Central out window-shopping like that, I'd probably be too scared to approach her.
I don't know about the entire issue that Anthony Wong is talking about but are the photos real or fakes? If they are real, wouldn't it just be easier for actresses not to do nude scenes in the first place? Why get the government involved? I don't get the whole furor.
Thanks for the heads-up about the Arthur Dong event! How come you always know more about what's happening in my backyard than I do? ;p
re: Cherie
I think she's with a girlfriend, the woman in black.
re: Anthony Wong
I don't follow it all either and I may be mixing up multiple stories, that's why I provided the link to the TVB News World article. It says that they are a mix of real and fake. Most of the Chinese articles I've seen were about Guo Jinging's infrared photos and Fala Chen
(Related).
I think that part of the furor is due to the surreptitious taping of celebs and athletes, presumably, without their consent. related

Too much time spent on the interwebs? :D
I tried to find that "Cheerful" cafe dedicated to Anita Mui while I was in Causeway Bay, HK in 2008, but no one inside the building knew what I was talking about (probably because I don't speak Cantonese too) and the sign outside seemed a bit run down, so I can only assume it has shut down. I don't remember seeing the sign about her inside the big Buddha on Lantau Island either (although I wasn't searching specifically for it either).
Anyway, I did take a photo of the sign and posted it here:
Cheerful Cafe
Cool, I had not heard of the cafe but searching the Net, it seems the Happiness Moon 囍月 cafe has moved.
Here's a 2009 article showing Anita's brother at the Taoist temple in Kowloon Tong, Shang Sin Chun Tong memorial hall on the 6th anniversary of Anita's death.

According to this article Anita's mother still has Anita's ashes at home. The article also shows where to look for Anita's tablet at the temple:
