hmmm...no bobo fans around?

i guess i'll be the first to comment on the new beginnings of the bobo fan thread! bobo is such a talented singer and actress but i haven't seen much of her lately...the last i saw of her was in 'the gateau affairs' and 'cocktail' and she really hasn't released a new cd in awhile hopefully i'll get to see more of her!

^the old bobo thread has become an archive (read-only) because it has exceeded 1000 posts...so this is the second thread in AF dedicated to the lovely bobo

I think she is taking time off. I don't know if she will come back to TVB because since her relationship with edison she has not been like by his Fans. BUt I hope that she will get more promotion on her music and movie/series since she broke it off with edison already.

yea i think ppl should get over it since bobo&edison are long gone.. reli hope she comes back =( think abt ur dedicated supporting fans !! 1000+ posts! lol..

lol so true? But I fear that bobo will leave the entertainment bussiness. Really what is bobo doing I have not hear about her for a really long time now but i will continue to support her

OMG I read a news saying that bobo was pregnant. BUt it was confirm that it was false. That was something shocking to hear (lol). I just found out that bobo and miriam are pretty close.

^wow i haven't heard any new news about bobo in a while so it's horrible to hear that stupid
reporters were circulating the rumor that bobo's pregnant

i never knew that bobo and miriam were close...but now that you mention it, it would make sense
seeing as to how bobo and edison used to go out and edison and miriam are really close friends
so i guess bobo and miriam are friends because of their connections with edison

Bashful; would you happen you know who bobo's boyfriend is now?

I saw a picture of him he is not in the entertainment world though. If you go back to the first part of bobo forum you will she her with a guy. People said that was bobo boyfriend but hey you know reporters. You could also see a picture of them in bobo's picture gallary.

hey any luck finding the pic. Let me know if you are having some trouble I would try to find it for you (hehe)

^oh haha thanks for the tip...but is it alright if you post a pic of them up in the thread? lol thanks!

is bobo taking some kind of vacation or what? no news about her for so so long, wonder what she doing, btw anyone know her website link?

I think she might not come back into the entertainment business. Since she had been through so much problem with her rumors and stuff.

I really miss BOBO. I love to watch her in series. Recently I watch Aquas Heros, and I love her acting. I totally see her chemistry with Edwin and Bosco. I really hope she star in another serie again. I did know she was in a serie with Moylie but its in early 2006 or late 2005. IN there she was with Jack Wu.

ya that show is The Geatuex Affair (情迷黑森林).. in that show she is acting as myolie's best friend... she has a romance with jack wu...

i really miss her now... she's no longer active in the entertainment circle.. dunno where she is now!!

yea i seriously miss her too...i think she's a unique star...don't really know how to explain it but she's just a different type of actress and singer...it's a shame that she hasn't been involved in anything for so long

What is she doing now? Still doing music? Haven't heard so much about her. But I did watch her series with TVB.

bad news...i just heard that bobo has retired from the entertainment business...it was said over the radio...i'm not sure if this is true...but with bobo's current inactiveness, it's very likely

so i finally watched Aqua heroes, and i didnt think the series was that great, b/c there were a lot of newbies, and the storyline was mediocre, but i still enjoye dit, cuz it was loose, and relaxing. but the one scene i loved from the series was when bob was walking in the streets in her black formal dress, and she just collapsed and started to cry. i thought taht scene was the best out of the whole series.

umm...does anyone know what happened to her....the last time i saw her was im the...cake affairs or something....did she leave the industry??

what has happened to Bobo??? i mean, she was still in the news a few years ago...and now she's kinda disappeared......

i really liked her acting in Aqua Heroes........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just heard couple of her songs. She is a really good singer. Hope she didnt really retired from the entertainment industry.

she's cute! I know alot of people who hate her....but i think she good at singing...it's not bad.
i like aqua heroes. it awesome!

Yea I love her music a lot. Many ppl did not like her becuz she was going out with Edison

I like to watch her in Aqua Heroes. I know I may be outdated ..just started watching Aqua Heroes. My brother go crazy about her lol!

Anyone got the complete song she sang in the series Aqua Heroes. It has the same music as a Korean song called Because i Am A Girl by KISS. Big thanks in advance!!!!!

I have that song from her I will post it up but it may take a while because I am very busy these days. Yea I love watching her in Aquq Heroes and G. Affairs too

i think she's very cute. i liked her in The Gateau Affairs.

what happen to bobo. Did she leave the entertainment world for good. I miss seeing her

^i miss bobo too...but i heard that she left the entertainment industry for good...i'm not really sure if it's true or not, but it really does seem that way since there hasn't been any news of her in so long

come to mind, i haven't see her for agess..
she seems like disappear for some reason..
i think she was very cute before..and thought she'll have a bright future..
kinda wanna see her and listern to her song again

I was hoping that she would come back with a new album but she has been missing for more than 3 years now. I miss her

Denise Ho Reveals: Scandal May Affect Bobo Chan's New Relationship

Regarding her good friends, Bobo Chan and Cecilia Cheung being involved in the latest celebrity scandal, Denise Ho commented, “When seeing some of the pictures in the newspapers, I was extremely worried about their feelings. I am very angry, the person who released these images should have his head chopped off. I really do not understand his motive, does he think it is fun? Or does he benefit from this?” When asked if she believed that those featured in the erotic photos should check how they live their lives, Denise replied, “I cannot judge. Real or fake, as a Hong Kong citizen I believe people should have respect. People should not continue circulating these photos, as it makes the issue grow bigger and bigger. I am very anxious about the whole thing because of my friends’ involvement.”

Denise has sent a message to comfort Bobo and has received a reply. She disclosed, “Bobo has already left this industry. She has a new boyfriend, which I am very happy for her. But now, this incident will definitely harm them.” When talking about Edison, Denise said, “I am only worried about the females’ feelings.”

it sucks that bobo's being dragged back into the spotlight in such an awful and public way after she's retired and worked hard to lead a somewhat normal life...real or not, those pictures must really be taking a toll on her life now if it's causing tension between her and her current boyfriend...i just wish her the best and hope she stays strong through this whole ordeal

Yah, I hope that this scandal saga has not hit her too hard. That and I hope that her relationship with her current BF isn't as or near rocky as Cecilia and Nicholas' situation.

BoBo Chan Angers Future Mother-in-Law Can’t Get Married


it was not a big deal

BoBo Chan was involved in the recent sex picture scandal. She slowly stepped out of the entertainment circle to prepare for her marriage into a wealthy family. But the sex picture scandal has made BoBo’s future mother-in-law abhor BoBo. Now, Phillip’s mother is strongly objecting to the marriage. It shattered BoBo’s dream to marrying into a wealthy family to be a missus.

BoBo originally planned to marry stock market genius, 金紫耀, Phillip Jin (Kam?). But BoBo’s involvement in the sex picture scandal has enraged the entire Jin family. Phillip’s mother is very traditional and conservative. She will not allow her future daughter-in-law to be absurd in anyway so she is against the marriage. Even though Phillip has always protected BoBo but he received his mother’s order and doesn’t dare go against her will. He could only reluctantly end their relationship. BoBo suffered a horrible blow and she is at her lowest point emotionally. She spends her day crying. Yesterday, she was forced to move back to her old resident from her love nest with Phillip.

Last night at a function, Partrick Tang shot himself in the foot by saying that he is still close to his ex-tabloid girlfriend BoBo. He said: “I called her but she didn’t pick up. This incident has hurt her a lot! (There are rumours that she can’t married now.) If it is true then it is a big regret. I know that Bobo is devotes herself entirely when she is in love. She would be very hurt!”

are you kidding, her bf called off the wedding. Bobo played with fire and now she got burned. she doesn't deserved the consequences, she earned it. Well look at the bright side, Bobo now can be a porno star and make easy money without doing much, just do spread if you know what i mean. HAHA. Bobo the Hong Kong Hoe, that's a cool movie title.

I feel so bad for her I mean many ppl are saying that she is marrying that guy for money but I don't think it is true. I mean if it is she would not had dumped Edison to begin with. I hope she is okay. But why would edison still keep pics for these girls when he has a gf (that is sick)? And come on if he knew he had these pics in this computer why did he just let anyone fix his computers. what are his intentions.

POOR POOR bobo

I can't believe she is pregnant.

But I hope the best for her. She was in love and edison I think really did love her.

I can't believe it is so bad, people are so mean what is there mean about to talk about! Go BOBO!

obviously she take a wrong step and now feeling regret couldn't change anything

Marrying BoBo? Philip Kam: Give an Explanation Later; Edison Chen’s Commercial Re-Appears in Chengdu

There is a persistent rumour that the source of the Hong Kong nude picture scandal, Kira, would come out of hiding for tomorrow’s prelim hearing of 史可雋. He would upload new pictures but he has not been seen in Hong Kong sites. It was reported that there were 67 new pictures in mainland Chinese sites. It appears to feature BoBo Chan but the authenticity is not known. It is not known if Kira has “resurrected” but the male lead, Edison Chen, has come back to life in Chengdu. Due to the incident last year, all of his new sunglasses advertisements/commercials were not shown. The incident has settle down so Edison is “coming back to life” to test the market reaction. Last night, BoBo Chan’s current boyfriend Philip Kam has appeared at a function. He was hounded by several dozen reporters and asked if he would be marrying BoBo. Philip kept a smile on his face and announced that he would give an explanation about the situation soon.

BoBo’s boyfriend, Philip, has not appeared in public since her involvement in the scandal. There were rumours that their wedding plans were brushed aside. But he is a righteous and loving person who has been protecting BoBo. Last night, he appeared in public as the sponsor representative at the ABSOLUT Couture fashion party at Lan Kwai Fong. It attracted several dozen reporters who came when they caught wind about his appearance. Philip arrived early to the function so the reporters did not see him. After the function, the PR staff announced that he doesn’t want to accept any interviews and did want to be photographed.

Philip stayed at the party for approximately two hours until the fashion party ended. He originally wanted to leave through the restaurant doors but he returned inside when he found a large crowd of reporters wanting for him. He waited for 10 minutes for a driver to come. He was escorted by two security personnel thought the crowd. He was dressed in a black suit and was smiling. He appeared to be in a good mood. He rolled down the car window and told the reporters to be careful. He also instructed the security to watch out for the reporters and not to push them. Philip was asked if he was going to marry BoBo. He smiled and said: “I would give an explanation later.” Afterwards, the car window was rolled up.

During this time, TV station camera fell in through the car window. Luckily, Philip returned it to the reporter. The car left after the police escort lead the way. There were dozens of people who surrounded the scene to get a look at the situation. The scene attracted a lot of tourists who took pictures and looked around because they thought Philip was some sort of celebrity. Afterwards, they were asking who Philip was.

Edison came back to life when his sunglasses advertisement appeared on the buses in Chengdu. According to local media reports, the posters featured an extremely cool Edison who was wearing sunglasses. He still has a stylish guy look. Yesterday, reporters contacted his management company to confirm the news reports. Edison did do advertisements for a mainland Chinese sunglasses brand. The brand requested that he come to do promotional work in February but it was cancelled due to the scandal. Now the situation changed so they are bringing back Edison in the form of advertisement posters.

too bad for her,a good and talented actress but slapped with such tarnishing scandal..

the moral of the story is NEVER DATE WITH BAD BOY/PLAY BOY

the past effects the future

i think it will be a tough path for her to make a comeback to the entertainment circle..

I don't think she was planning to come back since her last album was released. So sad I love her sing

Denise Ho received a text message from Bobo

Denise Ho as the Ambassador for Oxfam attended an activity yesterday. Straight away she was asked by reporters if she had any news about her friend Bobo coming back to Hong Kong? Denise said "Bobo had sent me a text message. I take it she is now in HK already. However, I must admit I haven't read any magazines yet and I am not too sure about that. Bobo told me the paparazzi are following her everywhere. She doesn't want me to be disturbed by them because of her. She will meet up with me later on. (Has Bobo got any wedding plan?) No, she didn't mention it. (Now do we know she is having a baby?). Earlier there were report about it, I suggested to Bobo that she should come out and stand straight for her pictures to be taken day and night but don't answer any questions".

Speaking about the trip she had in South Africa, Dennis revealed that the most memorable moment was when she visited the aids sufferers in a clinic. She was in tears when she read their case files.

Bobo Chan still angered with Edison Chen, closes her shop down to avoid Media

Was previously involved in the Edison Chen photo scandal, last year Bobo Chan left for the United States to avoid the news. The results of her wedding plans with her boyfriend was a failure. Although during this period of time, Bobo had her boyfriend's care and support for her, recently she found her boyfriend opened a Crystal Jam nail shop for over nearly a million dollars in North Point. However, until this day, Bobo still has not forgiven Edison Chen, the other day she just heard Edison's name and already appeared displeased, she quickly left the gates thereafter.

On Tuesday, the Media spotted Bobo with make-up on with her boyfriend on the streets, the couple appeared very loving. Wearing all black, Bobo and her boyfriend went into a store to take care of some errands, at first Bobo had her boyfriend accompany her on both sides of her, but after a while Bobo felt impatient and became upset. Her boyfriend who had itching hands couldn't help but to brush her on the back, but she still had her hands crossed. Afterwards, Bobo went alone to dress up, she was constantly putting on nail polish on her fingers to look pretty.

When Bobo discovered that there were Reporters, she became nervous and quickly left the store. She walked out of the store and met up with her boyfriend as they went into a office building together, Bobo's boyfriend followed his girlfriend in. In the evening at 8pm, Bobo appeared at the nail shop again, this is when Reporters went up to her and asked her about Edison's return to Hong Kong, did he apologize to her? At first Bobo had a smile on her face, but once she heard Edison's name, she immediately turned around and left. The staff at the nail shop came out and asked for the Reporter's name and identity. Afterwards, Bobo called out two security guards to watch the front entrance and then later she even pulled in the gates to close the shop.

Besides Gillian Chung and Cecilia Cheung, the other main female lead in the Artists Photo Scandal has finally come forward to face the media. Yesterday, accompanied by her boyfriend Philip Kam, Bobo Chan was at the opening ceremony of her new store and generously faced the Media.

Bobo focuses on managing crystal Gemming in her new store "Crystal Jan", yesterday the opening ceremony was held. Many of Bobo's good friends arrived to support her, including Alan Tam, Nat Chan, Hilary Tsui and Theresa Fu. The organizers arranged 20 security personnels and the police for protection.

Bobo expressed that this is the first time she's doing business, so for every issue, she will personally deal with it. She hopes that she could be a strong businesswoman. There are temporary no plans to return into the industry. As for her new store, did her boyfriend give it to her as a gift? She said: "It cannot be said that way because many other people are my partners in opening this store. It is not focused on me." As for the rumors that she secretly got married, Bobo denied. She said that she had not discuss about marriage yet and it is not because of the scandal that influenced her. Asked if it affected her relationship with Philip? She directly said: "This scandal made me respect my family, seniors and friends from unnecessary harrassment. Sorry, I want to protect them and I will not respond too much to this." Asked if she already wiped away her past? She said that people need to look towards the future, a new start. Speaking of Edison Chen, she said that today is a day to promote my store and not about other people. Asked if she has a hatred towards him? She said: "I am very busy, no time to think about that. (He gives you no feeling?) My mood is only focused towards my new business." Asked if she thanks her boyfriend's support, is he her ideal partner for life? She said: "Many friends support me. In that period of time, I did not know what to do, but I received many SMS wishing me happiness. I am already satisfied enough and happy. (Philip is the love of your life?) Thank you for your support." Bobo was not willing to respond to the question if Phillip proposed to her.

Asked if she would ask Gillian Chung or Cecilia Cheung to be her spokesperson for her new business? She expressed that the decisions are not made by her alone: "I am not very familiar with them either. (Are you happy to see Gillian make her comeback?) I hope that everyone can resume their jobs, look towards the future, work hard! (Are you able to do it?) I cannot say. I hope more people could support my hard work!"

Regarding to the earlier reports that Kay Tse was crying back stage due to the requirements that she and Eason Chan had to keep their distance during the Artistes 88 charity show, Hiliary expressed: "Is this true? Did you see her cry? The report is so false that there is nothing more false they can say." She also said that the rumors did not affect her relationship with Eason. Hiliary frankly said that she's not familiar with Kay and felt that it's not anything strange for Kay and Eason to be close because she has many male friends.

Happy to hear that she is still with her BF but I really hope to see her on screen again. I hope she will release an album soon. Her voice is too nice to just leave the entertainment world.
