Yesterday was the HongKong Performing Artistes Guild (HKPAG) ten anniversary. Stars like Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Jackie Chan, Micheal Hui, Aaron Kwok, Eric Tsang and Eason Chan attended the gathering.



Jacky Cheung attended the gathering with a new look. He is currently filming Kong Woo with Andy Lau.

Jacky also told the press that it was Anita Mui's wish to see more singers joining the HKPAG and he is now trying to persuade more singers to be part of the organisation. "I'll help them pay the member's fees if they forget", he quipped.

Needless to say, Jacky spent his Valentine's Day with his wife and daughter. When asked about his chances of clinching the Best Actor Award at the coming 23rd HongKong Film Awards, Jacky expressed hopes of being the One but he also conceded that the other contenders are equally good.

They were filming on the street for their their latest collaboration, Leun Ching Go Gap. This is the third time Gigi and Louis work together in a film.

Louis Koo wasnt in the pink of health during filming, complaining about his gastric pains. While Gigi told the press that it has been quite a while since she visited Tung Loh Waan.
