Shirley and Nancy Judge Fresh "Minutes to Fame" WannabesAfter fashioning a craze, TVB's talent show "Minutes to Fame" will be returning to the screen in March and yesterday, the first round of heats were held at a Tseung Kwan O shopping mall. Two past winners of the contest were invited to relive their experiences and guest judges Shirley Yeung and Nancy Wu joined producer Chin Kwok Wai as the judges for the day. Several tens of hopefuls passed through the auditions and Nancy was particularly cruel in sending people off. She smiles that she has taken part in the New Talent Singing Contest in the past and has been 'pinged' off the stage, so this time she is seeking her revenge.
This is the first time that Shirley has been a judge for something like this and she feesl that the most important thing is for the contestants to have confidence and entertainment value to keep the attention of the viewers. She says she has never auditioned people before and finds it quite exciting. However, she understands that the participants are quite nervous, so she will go easy on them.
Shirley has just returned from promoting her series "Always Ready" in Shanghai and she has enjoyed a special crab banquet on this trip, putting on some weight in the process. For the Chinese new year, she plans to join with some old classmates and friends and go on vacation to Europe for around a fortnight. She says she has not taken a break for a while now and it is quite difficult to find the time with her friends. Asked if her boyfriend will be going with them, she smiles she is not saying because everyone knows about her relationship and she does not need to keep talking about it. With her known to be quite careful with money, is she preparing some spending money to go shopping? She says she is used to this title now and she says that this trip is about sightseeing, so she will not be buying very much.

"Welcome to the House" Cast Members Say Farewell to AudienceTVB will discontinue broadcasting "Welcome to the House;" Christine Ng, Cheng Dan Shui, Kingdom Yuen, etc. were at an event to promote the final running segment of the show.
"Welcome to the House" cast members Christine Ng Wing Mei, Cheng Dan Shui, Kingdom Yuen King Dan, Lai Lok Yi, Nancy Wu Ding Yan, Cheung Chi Kong etc. appeared at a senior citizen center to promote the show's final segment before it is pulled off the air.
The cast members played various games with the seniors, including making dumplings and playing song-guessing games. The cast members were split into 8 teams to see which team was the quickest in guessing song names. With a former music background, Cheung Chi Kong's team won. Cast members also distributed three 24 karat gold pig figurines to the audience.
The dumpling preparation segment resulted in many laughs as many of the cast members were culinarily challenged. Although Cheng Dan Shui's character in the show was an amazing cook, he appeared uncoordinated and clumsy while preparing the dumplings.
Lai Lok Yee was focused on speed and he supersized his dumplings, causing them to look like buns instead! However Lai Lok Yee's dumplings were the best among cast members and managed to win the round.
Nancy Wu was 45 minutes late to the event and kept apologizing to everyone. She drove her own car but could not find her way to the site. Finally, she caught a taxi with a colleague to get there.
Reporters asked Nancy how she will be spending Valentine's Day? Breaking up with Deep Ng Ho Hong earlier, Nancy will not feel sad on the holiday. She will be meeting up with her single girl friends at a karaoke bar. Nancy joked that spending Valentine's at a karoake joint was better than going out on the streets and coming across endless pairs of lovebirds.
Christine Ng revealed that "Welcome to the House" had already filmed over 200 episodes and will have a happy ending. All the cast members are sad to wrap up filming.
In the show, Kingdom Yuen will marry Kiu Bo Bo and sport an Indian bridal look! Christine is eager to see Kingdom's Indian bridal look!
