TAIPEI: Taiwan superstar Jay Chou as admitted in a recent interview with a Taiwan men's fashion magazine that he feared marriage.
The singer, who was once romantically linked to soon-to-be-married television host Patty Hou, told the magazine that he did not have an urge to marry despite Hou's impending nuptials.
"Sometimes, I am glad that I am not the guy getting married. Watching them march into the wedding hall, having a wife and children, actually feels like a mirror which tells me not to get hitched too early. My heart will cry out that being single is great," said the 31-year-old.
He also could not understand why the public is interested about his future marriage plans.
"I don't understand why everyone is so concerned, my mother is not even worried," said Chou.
When asked if he liked a certain type of girl, Chou said that he "did not have specific requirements" but believed it was important to have "the right feeling" when choosing a girlfriend.
As to whether he will put his girlfriend first, Chou revealed that he is no sellout and that his friends will always rank highly on his priority list.
"When I am in a relationship, I will focus on my girlfriend, but my buddies will remain very important to me," said Chou.

Patty Hou shares wedding plans, Jay Chou not invited
TAIPEI: Taiwan television host Patty Hou is getting married "in the coming months" and former squeeze, singer Jay Chou, will not be present.
Speaking to the press at a Shanghai event on Wednesday, Hou, 32, readily answered queries from the media about her upcoming nuptials to banker Ken Huang, 34.
She said that after her high profile romance with Taiwanese superstar Chou, 31, she would prefer to stay low-key, also in respect of the wishes of her elders.
Hou also implored the media not to disturb her fiance as he is not a public figure and is not used to the limelight.
Revealing details about the marriage, Hou said she wants a very simple wedding with close friends and family. It will be in the coming months, though a date as yet to be set.
As to whether ex-boyfriend Chou is invited, Hou candidly answered, "He is a big star, [I] do not want to trouble him. Everyone's schedule is very tight, so I am not inviting celebrity friends." She joked that she did not want the big stars to outshine her on her special day.
Responding to pregnancy rumours, Hou replied negative. She does, however, look forward to having her own baby.
"I think I will have a baby one or two years later," she said. Although her child will be her top priority, she does not want to be a stay-at-home mum.
"I have not completely thought out the plan after marriage, but I feel that I like this job very much and hope to continue," Hou said.
Hou wants to have a daughter, and said that their relationship would mirror her own relationship with her mother, "just like sisters" with no secrets between them.

Male singers avoiding Jay's May album release
Like an annual affair, Jay Chou's decision to release his new album this May has left other singers scurrying to change their own release dates.
As of now, two former Golden Melody best singers, Gary Chaw and Wang Leehom, have confirmed changes in the dates of release for their upcoming albums.
The only big-name male artistes slated to release their album in May are the ensemble rock group Superband, but insiders observed that they have a different target market.
Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou currently has nine albums to his name, and barring the first self-titled album, has been the biggest-selling artiste in Asia.
After focusing on film and TV production for more than a year, with the critically panned The Treasure Hunter and Pandamen, and a cameo in the Yuen Woo-ping wuxia biopic True Legend, the 31-year-old will return to his first love, starting with the May album followed by a concert tour in June.
Reports said his latest musical venture sees him experimenting with the Lady Gaga-inspired electronic genre. Trademark styles like soft rock and zhong guo feng will also feature.
When contacted, Rock Records said Gary's English album is postponed not as a response to the above news, but because studio recording has been delayed.
Leehom's latest album, originally scheduled to be released last month, has been pushed back till after summer.
But female singers, apparently, aren't worried about clashing head-on with the multi-platinum Jay. Delivering albums in the same month include Malaysian singer-songwriter Penny Tai and Taiwanese songbird Claire Kuo.

In love with Jay? Chi-ling won't go there
THIS might be sad news for Jay Chou fans: The Taiwanese pop star/actor prefers not to have overly intimate scenes in his movies.
The reason?
He wants to come across as a decent guy.
“It’s a matter of image, it’s very important. I cannot be kissing so freely,” said the 30-year-old star candidly in Mandarin, at a press conference held at Raffles City Convention Centre yesterday.
He was in town to promote his latest film, The Treasure Hunter, also starring Lin Chi-ling.
He added: “You don’t necessarily need to kiss to portray deep emotions.”
Chou was in town with Lin, 35, and Taiwanese director Kevin Chu to promote the action movie, which opens next Thursday.
The film, touted to be National Treasure meets The Mummy, sees Chou playing a roguish treasure hunter, Ciao Fei, who is forced to hand over a valuable map of a lost city in exchange for the life of his mentor’s daughter, Lan Ting (played by Lin).
Teaming up with a famous archaeologist, they set off to recover the map and protect the ancient treasure buried beneath the city.
Lin said the role – her second acting gig so far – is her most challenging one yet.
The leggy beauty had to film in a desert in Hengdian – a small town in Dongyang of central Zhejiang province of China – for three months, even suffering a cut to her face that became infected.
The two leads share a couple of romantic sequences in the US$15 million (S$21 million) film, but do not have any kissing scenes.
Nor can you expect any scenes where they tumble into bed together.
Rumour has it that Lin convinced the director to remove the only kissing scene with Chou.
When asked about it, Lin said Chu hadn’t had plans for any intimate scenes between the two at all.
“From the film, you can tell that the relationship between Ciao Fei and Lan Ting is a very pure and ambiguous one, with the characters not saying what they mean. He intentionally left a space for the audience to guess and imagine what their relationship is,” she explained.
Lin, who was first seen in John Woo’s 2008 historical epic, Red Cliff, added that her chemistry with Chou was “very good”.
“Filming with him was very comfortable as we knew each other before taking on this project,” she said.
“We can communicate well and give each other suggestions on how to act better... Jay is a very creative person, so his ideas inspire me to improve on my character,” she added.
When asked – given their chemistry – whether there were moments where she felt as though there might be a stronger connection, she smiled knowingly.
“I wouldn’t dare, he has too many fans,” she said with a laugh.
CHOU’S GIRLS
Just as well that Lin wouldn’t make a move on her co-star. Chou – who first broke out in movies in Hong Kong flick Initial D (2005), for which he won a Golden Horse Award – revealed that because of his star status, starlets are afraid to be seen with him.
“If we get shot by the paparazzi, people will immediately assume (that whoever I’m with) is my girlfriend. It is unfair for the girls,” he said.
“I don’t have any way of clearing my name, or theirs. The more I try to speak, the more mistakes I make,” he added.
Chou has been linked to pop star Jolin Tsai, as well as TV host Patty Hou and singer Jessie Chiang. Chou has been upfront with the media only about his relationship with Hou, whom he dated in 2005.
But he reassured the press that the next time he is with someone for real, he’ll confirm the relationship just so they won’t have to speculate, he said
wryly.
Chou’s star is on the rise, especially with his first foray into Hollywood.
He recently nabbed a role in the movie remake of The Green Hornet, alongside Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz, and will be playing the superhero’s sidekick, Kato.
Filming is still ongoing in Hollywood, and the film is scheduled to be released in December next year.
Even though he has been in the entertainment industry for 10 years now, Chou said acting in Hollywood was still an entirely different ball game for him.
“Over there, I feel like I’m a newbie. I have to wait very long before getting started on filming my scenes) and I cannot speak too loudly. I have to be well-behaved. It was fun; a good experience,” he said with a smile.

Jay Chou's 'Pandamen' super guest line-up exposed; exclusive cast photos revealed
Jay Chou’s self-directed drama ‘Pandamen’ has already finished filming, and is currently in post-production. This drama not only stars Jay Chou, Jessie Chiang, Nan Quan Ma Ma, Tang Yan, Wang Jing, Will Liu, Guo Yao Zhong, even the guest stars are big names.
Earlier, Eric Tsang, Wilber Pan, Jerry Yan, Shawn Yue, Vincent Fang, Jiu Kong, Li Guo Xiu, Tian Jing Quan & An Ze Hao’s guest-star photos in ‘Pandaman’ were revealed. Not only did they display the drama’s big guest line-up, the cast photos looked amazing and exciting, bringing a strong impact to the audiences’ eyes.
Yesterday, Jay Chou accepted an interview, and expressed his thanks towards all the guest stars in ‘Pandamen’. He said: “Pandamen’s guest stars are actually all my good friends, they are very loyal and are willing to help me.” According to Jay’ introductions, these guest stars are not only ‘loyal’ to come and star in the drama, but during filming, every single one of them displayed their professionalism, and made him very touched.
Wilber Pan injured but still continues to film
When Will received an invitation to star in ‘Pandamen’, it actually clashed with his album promotion schedule. And earlier, because he was intensely practising dancing for his album, he accidentally injured his right hand. When he came to film ‘Pandamen’, his hand was even bandaged, but when filming officially started, the professional Will removed his bandages, and everyone could not help but give him a thumbs-up in praise. Jay was very worried about his injury, and during break times, he would often touch his hand in concern, asking him: “Is it okay?” But Will joked back: “I realized you really love touching my hand!” Everyone looked suspiciously at Jay, and Nan Quan Mama’s Devon (Dan Tou) joked: “Actually, Will is Jay Chou’s other ‘J-Girl’!” making everyone burst into laughter.
Shawn Yue plays baddie
From the photos of Shawn Yue, his golden hair makes him look extremely ‘bad boy’; his cool image looks very different from the previous sunny, handsome Shawn. Shawn plays a capable follower – Luo Han, of the great villain Tiger Brother. Towards being able to play such a character, Shawn exclaimed: “Very exciting!”
Eric Tsang supports ‘junior brother’ Jay Chou
Previously in ‘Kung Fu Dunk’, Eric Tsang & Jay Chou had extremely exciting fight scenes, and from then on, the 2 established a very good friendship. Whenever Jay mentions Eric in any public event, he always affectionately calls him ‘Eric Big Brother’. Jay said: “Eric coming to guest in ‘Pandamen’, I know it’s because he wants to support me, so I want to specially thank his loyalty.” Apparantly, Eric has quite a few scenes in the drama.
Jerry Yan & Jay Chou become ‘colleaguesIn ‘Pandamen’
Jay Chou plays Detective Leo, and Jerry Yan plays his colleague Detective Chen. In order to crack the villain gang ‘Violent Group’, the 2 detectives share weal and woe, and they both even get injured, and suffer quite a lot. Not only are they good ‘brothers’ outside of the drama, but even in the drama, they are quite close.
Refined lyricist Vincent Fang transforms into an arms dealer
Even Vincent Fang is beginning to film television series, and we can only imagine ‘Pandamen’ and Jay’s charm. Over the years, Vincent has always collaborated with Jay, writing lyrics for him, and the 2 have together created a unique musical world. And Vincent, whose own personality is similar to his refined lyrics, actually transforms into an arms dealer who is surrounded by beautiful women in the drama. His character is very ‘explosive’ and is definitely a strong breakthrough for Vincent.
Li Guo Xiu – dean of Taiwanese theatre joins ‘Pandamen’
Liu Guo Xiu is dubbed the dean of Taiwanese theatre. From 1976, he has produced almost 40 stage dramas, and is currently an associate professor at Taipei’s University of Arts. But the reason for him coming to star in ‘Pandamen’ is quite amusing. Apparantly, Li Guo Xiu’s family are all fans of Jay, and in order to fulfil his family’s ‘star’ wish, he went to find Jay, and hence he is also a guest star in ‘Pandamen’.
Jiu Kong appears as villain
Taiwan’s famous comedian Jiu Kong also guests in this drama. Whenever he appears at any event, there will be constant laughter following. Earlier, in Ning Hao’s ‘Crazy Racer’, Jiu Kong made everyone laugh non-stop. In ‘Pandamen’, he plays a big villain ‘Mole’ and will try live up to his comedian status.
Mainland actor An Ze Hao will play ‘strict father’
An Ze Hao, whose appearance is rather unique is a mainland actor, who always plays ‘baddies’. He was the lead for many television series such as ‘True Confession’, ‘Tomorrow I Am Not A Lamb’, and ‘Around The Home’. However, this time in ‘Pandamen’, he won’t play a baddie but has actually got quite a good role. He will be playing Jessie Chiang’s character Xiao Yu’s dad, who is also the principal of the music school. An Ze Hao expressed: “Pandamen consists of a young team, and I have actually learnt quite a lot filming with these young people.”An Ze Hao has quite a few scenes with Jessie in the drama. From the cast photos, his outfits follow the luxurious European clothing style, but he still looks very humorous. According to sources, after ‘Pandamen’ finished filming, An Ze Hao earlier returned to China, and is currently preparing for his new drama.
‘Pandamen’ investor transforms into ‘Chief Villain’
Amongst ‘Pandamen’s guest stars, the most important character is Tiger Brother. And this character is definitely even more lengendary.
Tiger Brother is the chief villain in ‘Pandamen’. His followers include Wolf (played by Will Liu), Mole (played by Jiu Kong), Luo Han (played by Shawn Yue) etc, and ‘Tiger Brother’ is the central figure in criminal gang ‘Violent Group. And he is the character which Panda Superman (played by Yuhao), Panda Heroic (played by Devon), Detective Leo (played by Jay) and Detective Chen (played by Jerry) are all hunting for. And just when everyone was wondering who is most suitable to play such an important character, ‘Pandamen’ investor Tian Jing Quan entered Jay’s ‘visual field’.According to Jay’s introduction, Tian Jing Quan ‘President Tian’ is one of ‘Pandamen’s investors. He is the general manager of Beijing Jiu Zhou Culture Communication Co., Ltd, and is also Jay’s old friend. During casting of ‘Pandamen’, Jay coincidentally bumped into President Tian while he was on a business trip, and that day, he was dressed in a black suit, with big black sunglasses, and his rather rebellious temperament caught Jay’s eyes. Hence, Jay immediately decided that President Tian would be the perfect choice for Tiger Brother! Because whether it’s posture or his imposing manner, President Tian is very suitable for this role.
During the filming process, besides Tiger Brother, he had another name called ‘Tian One Take’ and when Jay was asked about this, he laughed and explained: “Because during filming, President Tian always just requires one take and its perfect, his acting is very good! And sometimes, it’s already good, but he himself is not satisfied and would say that if he filmed another take, it would be better!” So why is the investor’s acting even better than professional actors? After careful studying, it was found that President Tian actually graduated from China University of Opera. The drama crew expressed that actually, Tiger Brother can be considered as a main lead in ‘Pandamen’ but because of President Tian is also one of the investors, he felt that it’s not convenient to be too exposed, so he attributed himself to the ‘guest’ list. In the drama, mainland actress Liao Jian Ling also specially guests, and plays Tiger Brother’s girlfriend.
Jay Chou’s ‘little brother’ also guests in ‘Pandamen’
Compared with the other famous guest stars, Huai Chen is probably the most unfamiliar face in ‘Pandamen’. According to Jay’s personal introduction, Huai Chen is actually his ‘little brother’: “He was my classmate in primary school. When we were little, I thought that he looked like a cartoon character, and unexpectedly now that we’re older, we actually have the chance to collaborate in ‘Pandamen’. Jay said that Huai Chen plays another baddie, and earlier, he also guested in the MV of his song ‘Hair Like Snow’.
Other than this, the most interesting thing is that ‘Pandamen’s scriptwriter Fa Tiao - Taiwan’s famous online writer will also guest in the drama as a piano teacher.

Compared with the other famous guest stars, Huai Chen is probably the most unfamiliar face in ‘Pandamen’. According to Jay’s personal introduction, Huai Chen is actually his ‘little brother’: “He was my classmate in primary school. When we were little, I thought that he looked like a cartoon character, and unexpectedly now that we’re older, we actually have the chance to collaborate in ‘Pandamen’. Jay said that Huai Chen plays another baddie, and earlier, he also guested in the MV of his song ‘Hair Like Snow’.
Other than this, the most interesting thing is that ‘Pandamen’s scriptwriter Fa Tiao - Taiwan’s famous online writer will also guest in the drama as a piano teacher.

Wow. this is one huge cast in terms of popularity.
I pretty much doubted how good this movie was going to be and now with this big cast built up and Jay's creativity, this is definitely going to be a good one despite a few of the actors choosen are not exactly experienced actors.The amout of viewers will definitely be a bomb.
and god, I love Shawn Yue :D
Enjoy :D

Jay's Next CD...
Hey yooo everyone I am new to this blog and this is my first time posting!!!! I feel so honoured to be posting on this blog muahahaha :D Thank you Jacyln for recruiting me!!!!
Ok as everyone knows, Jay is SUPER busy, with his invovlements in Pandamen and his other movies. Even he is not sure whether his new CD will be able to make it by the end of the year. Also, according to jaychoustudio.com, about half of the 10 songs in his new CD will be china-styled (中国风) songs.
To me, if the CD comes out with 5 of them being 中国风 songs, I think I will be quite disappointed. To me one or two is fine, but 5??? It is a bit over the edge already. But if the other songs are very nice, then its okay :D
I must have faith in Jay. But I dunno why I juz cant stop worrying about his new CD. I really want it to be a good one, cos if not all my frens will juz laugh at Jay and talk loads of bad things about him and tell me that I shud stop being crazy over him. I can stand it if they juz tease me, but I really go mad when they laugh at him, and it hurts me. *Bleah*
Conclusion: Of course I hope that Jay will have his new CD this year. But if the songs are not as good as expected, I would rather not have one this year, but focus on making the new CD a real good one only next year. How bout you?? What do you all think?? Of course, these are juz my opinions, so pls dun get angry if you have diff opinions :)
Cheers to all having there September Hols!! :D

周杰倫入行10周年，給自己打95分，少的那5分，周董笑說：「緋聞太多了。」
長宏公司投資1億人民幣拍「刺陵」，在無錫花了1,000萬人民幣搭4堂大景，都是周董和林志玲在古墓裏尋寶的重頭戲，周董昨頂著艷陽拍動作戲，抽空脫戲服只穿T恤，露出健壯肌肉，MAN到不行。
周董說：「以前我65公斤，現在長到70，我連澱粉都不敢吃了，啊是怎樣啦，想瘦都瘦不下來。」其實周董長的是肌肉，「刺陵」動作戲多，打著打著肌肉就變大隻了，但不說不知，周董的左手臂因打鬥和吊鋼絲，肌肉拉傷，現在無法舉高，殺青後要好好治療。
不過「刺陵」拍得很開心，周董現場變魔術給大家看，一招、兩招、三招，還會測心理，功力比「不能說的秘密」時代大增，他說：「手勢很重要，就是有空就學。」
周董很多面，輕鬆之後，他也會認真說：「其實我對人生、歲月愈來愈有感慨，尤其在柔怡姊（志玲經紀人）推薦下，看了『送行者』，覺得人生很多事沒辦法掌握，更要把握當下。」周董透露，他想拍一部像「送行者」那樣的溫馨小品，不一定拍禮儀師的故事，但是對人生有啟示作用。
周董說：「入行10後，未來我想要做一些在娛樂之外，回饋社會的事，例如像歌曲『稻香』，就希望能在不景氣中鼓勵大家不要灰心。」周董是今年金曲獎入圍大贏家，但頒獎當天，已答應去濟南演唱，他說：「如果我不來還把獎給我，那就表示更公平啦。」
周董和林志玲的感情好到完全沒界限，周董說：「志玲簡直是仙女，像嫦娥。」；志玲說：「杰倫才像李小龍呢，而且在各領域都多才多藝。」「刺陵」讓原本不同領域的周董和志玲，朝夕相處，緋聞沒有，小親密多多。記者來探班，兩人刻意保持距離，但言談之間，流露出微妙的互動。
周董一會兒說志玲像嫦娥，一會兒說她像鄰家妹妹，一會兒又說：「有的女孩子你一眼就會覺得有Fu，但志玲就是那種像哥兒們的。」
志玲說：「杰倫和我是那種再苦也不喊苦的人，其實他人真的很好，還會變魔術逗我開心。」

Good friends expose details: Jay Chou and Patty Hou's relationship started online
After entering the entertainment industry, the only relationship Jay Chou has admitted to is the "Chou Hou relationship"
This relationship that has already passed still makes people today curious.
However, Jay Chou doesn't talk about it at all. But his 3 good friends, lyricist Vincent Fang, makeup artist Du Guo Zhang and dance teacher Ice Cream has helped him fill in the details
And Guess what.
It turns out the Chou Hou relationship started online.
Vincent Fang said, Jay Chou actually doesn't know how to use the computer that well.
He types with one finger and types very slowly, so he only types a few simple words and all the computer is to him is a tool for finding information.
Teacher Ice Cream also revealed that Jay Chou spent a long time learning how to use msn but he doesn't know how to register, so he steals other people's account to use.
Teacher Ice Cream said, one day Jay used his account to chat with Ice Cream's friends online, but the person on the other end discover it wasn't Ice Cream by the words and asked who he was?
Jay Chou said, "I'm Jay Chou", the other person didn't believe him and asked him to turn on the webcam. Ice Cream said, he usually leaves the webcam on, but Jay Chou insists on turning it off, because online cameras make him feel unsafe.
but on that day, Jay Chou unexpectedly agreed to turn on the webcam so the other person could see him, "That person was Patty Hou."
Ice Cream said, after the two got to know each other better online, they drew closer until they became lovers. The Chou Hou relationship started in 2004 and ended in 2006, after the breakup, Jay Chou was still very low profile, but Patty Hou has been much more open, she once gave a comment on the Chou Hou relationship: "I've never rebelled before, this was my one and only rebellious act, I must be responsible for myself."

Jay Chou's Back problem flares up again
A few days ago, Jay Chou's back problem flared up due to becoming too tired from filming.
He was in a lot of pain. The pain started when he went in for the photoshoot for the cover of "Man's Style".
Jay Chou said that although he's only 30, he was walking like an eldery person. However he still does think that he is very lucky. No matter how much more it hurts, there will be someone else hurting more than you. No matter how much more pitiful you feel, there will always be someone more pitiful.
Jay was in so much pain that he had to lean on railings when climbing up the stairs.
Jay said, "How much does it hurt? It's like pulling a muscle, if a girl asked, I would say it's a period."
He's been afraid of death since young, when he was very young he wished to have a immortality medicine, "When my mother divorced I was very sad, I nearly got to the end of my life, a lot of people commit suicide over a moment's sadness, but those who have cancer battle hard to live, money, you can make more, feelings, you can converse to gain it, only life is something that you cannot start over again."
He mentioned his first kiss, "Now when I walk past Da An Forest Park near Jinhua Junior High School I would think of those memories." He said: "My first girlfriend and I, felt like it was the right time, it was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, I get so nervous about holding her hand that I even asked her first whether I can kiss her.
I don't know if I was stupid in the past or just too well mannered." At the time he wrote the song "Everlasting" for his girlfriend, that was the first time he felt proud.
