Unless Pregnant Vivian Will Not Sign Relationship Contract
Artist Vivian Hsu said today, she won’t be like Big S having a flash engagement, where love needs to have a contract (meaning wedding certificate) is really strange, it’s fine when two people have an agreement together, it’s not necessary to must have a contract, except if there’s a child, the child needs to have security then I will sign it.
Today Vivian went to Shen Chun Hua’s program to promote the new film “Juliet”. The already 35 year old Vivian admitted that there are no potentials yet. She said there’s no way of putting her heart down to hold a relationship, even though not deliberately, but she has yet to have met someone where she can go have a good relationship.
Vivian said the only one relationship that was public was with the Japanese guitarist, since she is a public figure; you have to respect the other’s thoughts. She said, once the relationship is exposed it will be the topic of meal conversations, even if you’re working hard, the main focus will be transferred over.
In “Juliet” Vivian plays a character that bravely chased love, is that the same for her in real life? Vivian laughed “I am! Bravely chasing my love for the stage.” Will she be like Big S having a flash engagement? Vivian firmly said, “I just won’t sign the contract, and will not annoy myself with future situations where they have not happened yet.”
But Vivian has also said, if she’s pregnant, then she’ll sign (marry), if not she won’t sign if not pregnant. She said love is really strange if you have to sign a contract, as long as too people together have an agreement then that’s fine, it’s not necessary to have to sign, unless there was a child, then to give the child security will sign it.
Mentioning of the earlier incident at the Tokyo film fest, Vivian is really frustrated. She said she’s just an artist, to be pulled into political factors, “if not able to withstand it, will collapse.”

Barbie Hsu and Wang Xiaofei’s property rejection
The newly wedded couple’s option to purchase an apartment in Kunming was rejected
They may be the most talked about celebrity couple now but not are all welcoming Barbie Hsu and new hubby Wang Xiaofei with open arms.
On Nov 28, a netizen revealed that Barbie and her husband had intended to buy an apartment in Kunming but were rejected.
The rejection created uproar amongst property industry players, who were curious about the developer which refused the popular celebrity. At the same time, they wondered if the couple was planning to venture into business in Kunming.
Both Barbie and Xiaofei could not be contacted for comment. Their mothers, who usually speak on their behalf, were also unavailable. Finally, the media contacted a rep for Xiaofei's mother Zhang Lan, who expressed that he was unsure of Xiaofei's personal matters.
In a separate report, Xiaofei was seen showing up to support Barbie who was shooting a commercial with sister, Dee in Shanghai on Nov 27. During her break, Barbie joined her husband, who did not hide his affections by placing his arm around her waist.
Barbie is believed to be paid an astronomical sum for the commercial. When contacted, Barbie's assistant refused to comment on how much Barbie was paid. The assistant also refused to confirm if Xiaofei was on set that day.
Xiaofei was said to have returned to Beijing alone after accompanying his wife at her shoot. He was also criticised for being unkind after ignoring a beggar, who had asked for payment after cleaning his car at a red light.

Court rules in favor of Dee Hsu over lawsuit against Appledaily
Some might still remember Dee Hsu (Xiao S) and her husband Mike Hsu landed on the front page of Appledaily back in March. The newspaper reported that she had allegedly called the 113 helpline to report domestic violence. It claimed her case was forwarded to the Taipei Domestic Violence Prevention and Cure center. Following a visit from a social worker, the Hsu household was then deemed “high risk” by the center. Dee Hsu strongly denied the accusations and said she would sue Appledaily. The couple even met with reporters at the front of a police station (where Apple claimed she had filed a report) in an attempt to clear them name.
Over six months later, the Shihlin District Court determined that Appledaily failed to provide sufficient proof for the content it reported. The paper was slapped with a 4 million NTD fine (~129,000 USD) and ordered to publish a full-page apology on its front page for one day. Dee Hsu and her husband

Barbie Hsu banks in millions endorsing a soya bean milk franchise
Her earnings will probably amount to more than TWD$40 million ($1.72 million), successfully turning her into an international star.
This is definitely a bumper year for Barbie Hsu.
A few days ago, the actress appeared at an event in Fuzhou for the first time after her wedding. Throughout the event, happiness radiated from her smiles and Barbie also periodically showed off her wedding ring.
According to reports, Barbie's net worth surged after her wedding. At the beginning of the year, she was worth TWD$1.5 million ($65,000). However, the price of her appearance begins at TWD$4 million ($170,000) now.
There was talk about Barbie's endorsement fees tripling after her engagement to Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei. Before marriage, she was worth about TWD$2 million ($86,700). However, the actress banked in millions of dollars from her endorsement of the Yung Ho Soya Bean Milk franchise, successfully turning her into an international star.
Barbie was asked about her plans after the wedding on the day of the event. She expressed that she would definitely consider having a baby of her own, but there were no solid plans at the moment.
Happiness was evident on the actress as she talked about her feelings after marriage. Barbie let on that she recently moved to a new home and apart from missing her husband, she hoped that her movies would be released quickly, so that she would have more time for her family.
Barbie had been working nonstop this year. The movies she shot previously in China are being released consecutively. She is also currently filming The Kingdom, Giant Looking for Millions and Wei Shi Lu.
It is believed that her earnings for this year will amount to more than TWD$40 million ($1.72 million).
