Rumour has it that the pair has begun discussing the terms of their separation...through text messages. Nicholas's rep EEG Groups is also reportedly preparing to announce the couple's divorce soon.

Nic's EEG manager, Mani Fok was quoted as saying: "He is currently filming and many action scenes require his participation rather than using a stunt double. Earlier, Nic filmed a scene where he had to jump from an eight storey building. He did not tell EEG in advance about this stunt. I want him to focus his concentration first and not think any troubling thoughts."
Mani indicated that after completing "The Viral Factor", Nic will quickly film a mainland series.
Mani was confident that there was no third party in Nic and Cecilia's relationship. "For a man who stays home aside from work, it's very hard for him to keep a mistress."

    You can watch the video of Maggie Cheung's Q & A at the Universal Studios of Singapore here:

    I love her accent (I like Karen Mok's accent too). My guzheng teacher (a woman) once told me, "There's no woman who looks better in a qipao dress than Zhāng Mànyù (Maggie Cheung)". :)

    Cool, thanks! There's a video link at the end of the article above, too.

    "There's no woman who looks better in a qipao dress than Zhāng Mànyù (Maggie Cheung)".

    In The Mood For Love is a good example of that. Though, Carina Lau looks pretty good in the TV series Spring River Flows East aka The River Flows Eastward. William Cheung also custom-designed those costumes, at her request.

    Maggie looks fantastic - I was surprised when I read that she's 46 years old.

    Did you see the other interviews from Singapore's Razor TV?
