It's good to see that the showbiz people will come together for things like this...
And the papparazzi should really put a brake on how do their business...

These thing happens because there is a demand for it. If we're stop buying magazine that show these kind of pictures then I'm sure that a big signal for them that we're not tolerate this kind of behaviour anymore

***************__---->> omg.// theres so much support...
...i even see the garbage lady in the bottom left of the 1st pic..
...if i was ah gill i would be so touched by everyone's effort to come to this show and show support...
**THATS WAT HK PPL ARE.. not ppl who peepin at women and put hidden cameras..
... SEEing this..

boycotting those pictures is a great idea. people shouldn't take pictures like that -- even if they are stars or normal people -- it's illegal and not right! everyone has their privacy and this right should be respected. it's different between entertainment news and something as serious as this. this is very offensive and must be taken seriously so this incident never happens again.

i feel very sorry for the victim of this incident -- it's even worse than being stalked by because her privacy is exposed to everyone -- basically, publicized. i'm glad tvb and all the other actors and actresses are standing up for gillian to protest.

celebrities are people too -- they should have their own rights and privacies as well. and most importantly, they need respect from everyone!

by the way, what is EASY FINDER -- never heard of it before. but whatever it is, it lacks professionalism!

it is about time the showbiz artists unite as a family and fight against the ass tabloids...easy finder...u are going down....gil will eventually get her justice

ha..ha... agree.

I really want Gillian to win because this is involving respect too to artist and of course to a woman. The reporter's act is like a pervert, you know the guy who likes to wait in the ladies room or changing room and take pictures of women peeing or changing clothes

there was no protest like this when albert yeung's (EEG Boss) magazine posted nude pictures of Carina Lau.
I heard when Jackie Chan was asked about this he wouldn't say anything.

Although I also do not condone what the magazine did to Gillian, the incident just seem to be blown out of proportions to me. Maybe it's because I'm from the US and these sort of things aren't out of the ordinary for me, but I'm just surprised the incident got sooo big in hk. o_O I mean, is this the FIRST time this kind of thing happened? If not, why didn't anyone spoken up BEFORE? Why NOW? Hasn't there been other worse events that happened? I just don't feel it's fair that these kind of protests only gotten so big after it happened to ONE star when it had probably happened among a million people already. It's like, the news: millions people payed attention to ONE child who's been kidnapped when there are a million others that have been kidnapped before. Shows how much people actually cared. heh

there's a meaning behind this protest , taking this opportunity the hk artistes want government to set a law to punish the paparazzi who goes on peeping their privacy. currently there's no law to punish paparazzi. it isn't just about gillian case only. it's more on dignity and morality behind the publishing. with all the protest, hope the hk gov will pay more attention into this matter and set a law so it won't happen to others in the future.

I am really glad that the artist are joining together in making this matter an issue! I really feel bad for Gillian, hopefully this won't happen in the future for any of the artist! Wow look at how pissed off everyone looks, or should i say everyone looks so concerned and i would be too!

This conference idea is brilliant, and warn this cannot happen again. After this I think reporters etc. should now stop all this talk and leave Gil alone. Reporters are over the top bringing this thing up everytime she is around.

Its great seeing from the Entertainment circle getting together fighting for their dignity! Poor Gillian, hope she's ok, its so sad that people wreck her image and paste such personal pictures of her..

I'm really impressed how well everyone has come together to fight this. The HK media is completely out of control. I feel so bad for Gillian, I feel like hugging her.

I'm glad so many big names came out to support Gillian.. I feel so bad for her.. I don't know what I'd do if I was her cuz these pictures will follow her for the rest of her life..

boycott the magazine forever !!! they are disguting to publish those photos !! they don't have the right to do that to anybody !! have to respect people dignity !!!

wow so every hong kong stars and singers knows what happen to gillian. why would ppl do such a stupid thing like that..putting a hidden camera while they are changing thats so stupid.

it so happy to see all the celebrite came out to support gillian.......we should boycott this magazine .......and hope those will take this picture will go to jail...

seldom we see a bunch of artists get together for a conference unless something "big" happens in the news... they should get together more often regardless... but anyway.. hope time will heal all wounds and gillian will pass this news

other posters are correct... if no one supports or buys this magazine or the pics, then nothing will come of it.
See the pics of Gillian crying, I do feel bad for her.
Good to see people are rallying behind her and this unfortunate incident.

Lol oh yeah ey? They look bored...aren't they supposed to look...alert...i think? haha . Yeah this gillian thing has gotten biig. but it's a good thing so no more magazines would even THINK to put pictures of nude celebs again!

i'm touched by their unity

gillian should be mad instead of sad, no use crying and look like a weepy girl. get up and take a stand, let the anger take over.

i must say, everytime i see hk gossip mags or papers
i felt sorry for whomever being featured
now poor gillian being haunted in the most nasty manner
i'm glad a lot of artists united and strongly opposed the
gutter press

poor Gillian, she looks soooo distressed in da pics. i'm glad dat all those hk stars got 2gether 2 protest towards dis issue. even better, there were many big names there 2 make da media take a bigger notice of dis issue.

good on u guys 4 da support

Gillian should feel happy that so many people is standing up for her. not that she wanted it to happen to her. it's about time that the "artists" show the paparrazis some color

honestly, those paparazzi can be so messed up at times, just to get business they can violate people's privacy. i feel so bad for gill, it must be so hard... but i bet it at least makes gill feel a bit better by all these people uniting together for her. =) and all her fans will support her too.

I read somewhere saying TVB has aired a about 4 hour of TV talking about this issue. Does anyone saw that?

Really glad that all the celebrety has united about this issue.

it good to see so many people supporting her...be strong gillian...the person did this stupid thing will surly go to jail for good.

It is so great to see so many celebrity supporting Gillian and doing something about this...it is horrible and shameful on the person who did this...

They're (the celebrities) all look so upset and everyone should be...no one has the right to do this...for shame on them for what they did to Gillian...that's leaving a scar in her heart...

Easyfinder should be ashame...the media should think about what they do...there is always a limit to thing in life including privacy...

i'm glad to see so much support for gillian. she has been a complete victim during this whole incident and she has carried herself so courageously and gracefully. she is handling everything very well. i'm glad to see all these artists come out and all these fans support the removal of these photos and the punishment of the magazine for such invasion of privacy and complete indecency!

glad to see so many people and HK stars supporting gillian..
even jacky cheung!! omg!! i really hope gillian get her revenge!! we all support ah gil!!!

poor Gillian, she cries a lot. this 's really a big shock. i feel sympathy for her. i can't believe a reporter did such kind of thing, that's not what a reporter should do, and the magazine must not let it come out. i'm glad that so many stars had supported Gillian. the reporter who did this kind of thing must be getting the punishment from the law. beside, the magazine should pay for her.

wow! this is getting really big. getting all the big stars now.. andy lau.. jacky chan, jacky cheung.. wow! Gillian is getting her supporters! and don't forget the fans!

i'm pretty sure it'll be a happy/good ending.. for gillian~ ;]

Geez this has really become so big, so many articles in such a short time..

I really wanna know what kind of nudity it is, is it without any underwear ? if she wears underwear its not so big deal but still it's so lame to take a photography of someone changing or any at all that she hasnt accepted..

As the title says semi nude photo so I guess it must be with underwear cause who changes underwear backstage?

Has these photographys been released or anything? should be on the net by now..

its good to see so many people is helping gillian...as jackie chan says this isn't just a typical HK news...this made it out of their country and now its international...it really put a shame to those who bought the magazines and those who would published it

Seriously what is the big deal???

She wasn't even naked. Come on, they are making something out of nothing.

I know it is not right, but it is not the end of the world and Gillian crying every 5 seconds is driving me nuts.

Enuf already.

those dam clowns should pay for wa they done to gillian embrassing her and taking away her priacy, its also nice to see that alot of plp is supporting her and not mockin her n stuff

i totally agree with u!!! and honestly.. (tho admittedly i haven't seen the photos myself) but i haerd that all she showed was like her bra or something. how bad can it really be? she's worn less on stage before!!!! soem of the costumes she's worn for her concerts show a LOT of flesh. what the hell is she on about?!?!? these ppl just infuriate me

^Yay I've found ppl who agree with me!
Before I thought they meant she got captured NUDE.
Then it said she only got captured adjusting her bra.
So I'm like, "Ohhh so that's it???"
Yes Gillian has worn less on stage before!!!
How this did get so big in HK??
I unno maybe I'm like G0LDF15H87 and I grew up in a western country so I don't think it's THAT big of a deal.
Plus I've seen Gillian in a bikini ok???
I think the pic of her in a bikini is even more revealing!!!!
Ok but maybe it is sorta wrong for those stupid reporters to take picz of her while changing...
But heyy, CHILL HK ppl. There were a lot more incidents that are even worse than Gill's case but they were not as big as this one and not a lot of ppl came to support them. Like don't u ppl remember Carina Lau who got raped and they took picz of her????? Isn't that even worse???
Okk me gotta calm down now. Bye~ *runs off*

i just wish something could be done about the HK media. They are so out of order sometimes
