latest news can be found at http://www.vivianchow.info

she is not married. she recently came out to do advertisements.

Yeah, she looks young for her age...She still looks the same after so many years...She's definitely one of the most beautiful actress in HK entertainment industry..She's such a pure innoncent and sweet lady...Hope she'll come back to TVB...I really wanna see her acting again...Miss her so much!!!...

I watched that series too. It is a very sentimental series. Adam Cheng's acting was spectacular in it (even though I dislike that unreasonable character he portrayed).

As for Vivian Chow, she played perfectly the role of the 'stingy / penny saving' girl ( I hope its the right word to describe that character); and Vivian look so pretty and cute playing it

She is not married yet, live together with Joe Ngai

Hi, I know Vivian is the ambassador of Shiseido's Revital products. Is there any TV commercial for this product in HK or advertisement posters in magazines?

Can send me?

she can sing very good
she is beautiful
she went to mode
she stays a good singer

Vivian looks exactly the same when she retired. Yes... I was hoping to watch some more movies and listen to her songs. Maybe my dream will come true one day. It is strange she is back in the business. I thought her boyfriend family doesn't like her to be a celebrity. Thanks for the link. Time to grab vivian's pictures!

Anyone know where I can get the above picture of vivian? I can't find in the link. She looks gorgeous..

Agree! She's the most beautiful actress in HK! She's so sweet. I like her "next-door-girl" look. Luv her most in the greed of men. I can't understand why two super cute women felt for Sean Lau ! Anyway, I miss her so much. Hope she'll continue her acting career sometime soon. I think her last series with TVB is the series with Sunny Chan. Can't recall its name.

I also like her in the costume series in which Canti Lau is her co-star. She's so sweet in that series but had such a tragic ending.

Not next show yet, haven't decide to go back to e-biz. In the meantime, she's endorsing Shiseido's ads. Quite pretty and didn't change much there

I am so envious of ehr long hair and her fringe its so beautiful. Her skin is all soft and her voice is beautiful.. i wonder if she d ever won any awards like miss hk?? Maybe its because she doenst do a lot of shows that she can keep so good looking

she is absolutely beautiful..never ages..can't belive she is over 35...looks like she is in her mid-20s...would give anything for her genes!!!

She returned to the limelight after nearly 10 years off the charts. Acted in alot of movies and serials, but most memorable as the thigh-purse and dying girl from Greed of Man.

I really liked her songs.She is such a great singer and has a sweet voice.But now I don't hear her anymore.What is she doing now?

She's not married? I thought she was married and that's why she quit entertainment industry? I last saw her in the series with Lau Ching Wan, forgot what's the title, I think it's about shares.

Vivian Chow's Pantene ad, first ad since return

Lately, Vivian Chow has been secretly working on advertisements. Vivian’s nice black hair was spotted by a shampoo company, Pantene, who then asked Vivian to be in their advertisement. This advertisement will be Vivian’s first, after returning to the entertainment circle. Vivian was also praised by people, saying that she has not aged. Not only does Vivian’s hair attract companies, Vivian said that her cat is also attracted by her hair. She says that her cat often grabs onto her hair. However Vivian is not afraid of the cat damaging her hair because her hair is very healthy. Before working on the ad, Vivian used the shampoo for a month and found that the shampoo was really good.

Oh cool, she's still doing advertisements. I must admit her hair is one of her best assets, go vivian chow! i think she is so pretty, perhaps her singing is not so good, because hs ehas a soft voice, but her acting was great. Too bad she doesn't do any series or movies now.,

Wow, she looked so good still during the aniversery awards... What do you guys think? I miss her so much! Hope she can come back to do some movies or serials!

ya she looked SOO elegant wen she walked out...
and her dress and hair made her look really high class..
she is pretty how old is she?
i hope she does film some series...fer us to watch..

She looks the same as years ago, how did she do that? '

I haven't see her in a long time. When she walked out, her appearance was the same. I hope she comes back to film in movies or series. Her acting was good. Just wondering if she's married?

I haven't seen her for so long I thought she more on and got alway for the industy. I don't have cable TV so I haven't seen the award show, can someone post some picture or better yeah post the show on torrent. I barely still remember what she looks like.

she was one of my fav actresses when i was growing up....she hasnt changed that much over the years!! she still looks hot, havent seen her much recently hope she makes a come back tho

It would be nice if someone could post her recent picture. Really curious what she's like now. I remember she use to be every highschool dude dream

She's so beautiful and whenever I seee her she looks nice no matter what. I heard people saw her playing Snooker and got her autograph. I heard she going to sing in her own concert in Hong Kong because people bugged her about it. I really want to see her in a concert. I only heard she's doing this concert once. I really want to hear her sing again and get back to the music industry. I also liked Vivian Lai but she's not singing anymore because she got married to a rich man. I wonder if Vivan Chow will marry too. She had a lot of good songs that I have on casette tapes that I brought.

OMG its my VIVIAN!!! I loved her since I start listening to her songs n watchin her movies!!! shes is the very first female IDOL i have!!! shes so pretty, acting is great and she sings very good too!!! I will be forever devoted fan of hers!!!

Vivian is the most beautiful woman i've ever seen. Seriously, I love her. But all i never have a chance to see her outside thought, only pictures. How is her personality? somebody please tell me.

she was very popular back in the early 90s, and still very hot now

Vivian "Back For Love" 2006 Concert

Vivian will be donating all of her concert earnings to the Non-Profit making Veterinary Service Society.
http://www.npv.org.hk

Concert tickets go on sale to the public on April 25, 2006

Support Vivian!!

It is great that Vivian Chow came back ..after so many years...(how long was she gone for i cant remember)

so now she back and had a concert in one of the most prestiguous concert hall in Hong kong

what do you think of her coming back?

and What will she be doing afterwards?? any ideas??

Its been 10 years and im pretty sure she said she wasnt going to sing again but then she did have a concert this year. I was surprised.

I think its good to see her come back and have a concert again but im not sure if she will release albums with new songs. Her latest Back For You is a collection of her best songs... must have.

Its also goin to be hard to make a comeback and be successful for her in a state like the HK music industry is today, especially being gone for 10 years.

Vivian Chow makes a comeback



The pretty and wholesome '80s idol Vivian Chow made an official announcement of her big comeback after 12 years in retirement. She will begin her comeback career with a 3 day concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. After such a long time away from the limelight, Vivian admitted to being nervous, but she emphasize that she did not make the decision to sing again due to financial difficulties as rumored. Appearing in a low-cut dress to the press conference, Vivian has not lost her charm with fans as she kept herself in top condition. In preparation for her comeback, Vivian took on many advertisement and endorsement jobs. Vivian expressed that some friends are planning to open a non-profit veterinary hospital in Hong Kong but they lack funding. Thus, Vivian wanted to donate proceeds from her concerts to the worthwhile cause. Vivian also plans to donate at least HK $1 million to the Hong Kong animal advocate charities. The 39-year-old Vivian will not show off her sexuality, instead, she will display her mature beauty to fans and audience. She said that her last concert was in 1994 and she has experienced a lot since then. There's no sign as to whether or not Vivian will record new albums.

I've been waiting so long and my neck is all stretched out! LOL.

She is still so hot even after all the years out of the lime light

i hope it will come out soon. i really want to watch it. after many yrs didnt open concert she still look as hott as b4..

i didnt even know she came back out to do a concert, she really need the $ eh?

Hey. is it this album you're talking about?

Vivian Chow's Back for Love Concert

and this is one that was released in May 2006, though

Vivian Chow's Back for You

not sure if these are it...

She came out to do the concert because the profits she makes goes to some kind of donations...I believe she donated all the profits to some animal organization or something. Well at least i thats what i heard on that show Scoop or something like that cant really remember. But yeah kant wait till it comes out on DVD

Vivian Chow Concert????
WOW...has just heard it from u guys..
Looking forward to watch it.
Thanks for the info...

Some screencaps from her old mvs.

well lucky for u, its out rite now. i'm about to rent it, unless i can dl it. =) did all of u hear that song with leo ku and vivian chow? so good!

She's getting old now....
I watched her mini concert & it was alright....
She used to be very popular but now..........

She's older now but i think that she's still beautiful now. Look at her in Leo Ku's MV, she's still beutiful although not so as before, certainly, she's over 40 now.

she is around 40 now? you cant really see that on her outside, ok, she dosent exactly look "young", but she is definitely one of the beautiful and elegant idols of hong kong! she can still sing too, her duet with leo ku was worth listening to!

vivian chow is gorgeous. i remember her first series was called "dai si doi". is it true that she's still a virgin? her face looks so innocent. i watched her recent concert called "for love, i return". her dress and hair style during the first song was so nice.

Vivian Chow Makes Leo Ku Cry on Stage

At the third The Magic Moments concert last night, Vivian turned up as perfoming guest again.

Apart from singing a duet with Leo, Vivian said to Leo on stage, "God gave you a beautiful voice, whether you are last time's 'Gu Guai Gei' (Funny/Weird Leo), or today's Prince of Falsetto, there are still many people who support you. You have to take it easy, and not give yourself so much pressure." Leo broke down into tears once he heard her calling him 'Gu Guai Gei' and said," It's been a long time since someone called me that name." Later, Vivian apologised to Leo at the backstage to have made him cry.

On another note, the live atmosphere was very good that night - Leo was almost pulled down the stage while holding hands with audience.

Vivian Chow continues to be the spokesperson for Shiseido 資生堂大中華區 for the 5th year running. Earlier on the marketing department from Japan came to HK to film a promotional commercial with her. She had been filming in the studio with her bare back. Because of the cold air conditioning, she has been drinking hot tea to keep warm.

I enjoyed it but really felt bad about it."
