MV 爱无国界 Love Without Borders - Jackie Chan成龍 & Asian Singer for Japan quake victims

Jackie Chan成龍, Andy Lau劉德華 and a host of Asian performing artists staged a three-hour charity concert in Hong Kong on Friday to raise funds for victims of Japan's earthquake and tsunami.
Rush Hour star Chan opened the program by leading dozens of singers and the audience in a moment of silence for the casualties in Japan. The singers then linked arms as they performed the event's theme song, Succumb Not to Sorrow, based on a poem by children's writer Kenji Miyazawa.

"The more ruthless natural disasters are, the more love there should be in the world. This event tonight gathers performing artists from different places, hoping to deliver the message 'don't be defeated by natural forces' to all those in the disaster areas," Lau told the audience at Hong Kong's Victoria Park.

Action star Donnie Yen said in his plea for donations, "We all live on the same planet. We should not distinguish among races. Please extend a helping hand to those in need."

Andy Lau’s past 'Brokeback' relationship revealed?

Ex-friend Danny Poon refused to discuss the duo’s past relationship

Felix Wong probably said something he shouldn't have.

A few days ago, the actor made a shocking revelation at the Fun with Liza and Gods Longest Concert. He reminisced his past with the Five Tiger Generals of TVB, made up of him, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Michael Miu and Kent Tong, talking about a time when he thought Andy Lau and friend Danny Poon were gays.

Andy Lau, who did not have any rumours then, was often seen with Danny and their inseparability later caused Felix Wong to misunderstand the pair's relationship.

The Hong Kong media started digging through Andy Lau and Danny Poon's past unusual relationship once the words left Felix's mouth.

47-year-old Danny Poon reportedly knew Andy Lau before the latter met his wife. They shared a close relationship and had lived together for a period of time.

Later, as Andy slowly gained recognition, he met Carol and the three of them even went out together frequently. However, Danny and Carol never had any exchanges with each other.

In 1998, Danny Poon 'went missing' suddenly, breaking all contact with Andy Lau. Now a real estate broker, Danny refused to talk about his past relationship with the famous singer, stating that he was not interested in the affairs of his ex-friend.

Andy Lau did not mention about Danny in an interview which he did a few days ago. Instead, the singer-actor recalled a deep friendship he shared with the late Anita Mui.

Andy said rumours of Anita's crush on him caused his friend distress and admitted that they knew about each other's relationship history. Each would also serve as the other's adviser-in-love.

Andy added that he felt disheartened and lost when he hid his marriage from the public. The singer, who is famous for being good to his fans, felt guilty when he saw his fans hurt because of the reports and later, walked out of the gloomy days.

Stars Come Out For MTV Asia Awards

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) — The Pussycat Dolls and British pop sensation Leona Lewis added a bit of glamour and sex appeal to MTV's Asia Awards show on Saturday, which showcased the best in global and regional music.

The Grammy-nominated Dolls, who shot to fame in 2005 with their worldwide hit "Don't Cha", strutted their stuff at Malaysia's hilltop Genting Highlands casino resort, packed with 3,000 fans and industry A-listers.They were just one act in a star-studded line-up that included Lewis, OneRepublic, Panic at the Disco, South Korean boy band Super Junior, The Click Five and US dance crew Jabbawockeez.

Singing their latest hit "When I Grow Up", the Pussycat Dolls elicited screams from the hundreds of young fans in the mosh pit with their suggestive dance moves, but the girl group said they were not trying to be provocative.

"We are better prepared this time to perform in Malaysia and we have deep respect for the culture. It is about the music, not about sexy. We are going to respect the people of this country and the culture," said Jessica Sutta.

The group came under fire last year from Muslim authorities here for their raunchy performances and sexy attire, which earned concert promoters a 10,000 ringgit (2,700-dollar) fine.

Lewis, a former winner of the British reality show "X Factor", sang her international hit "Bleeding Love", before scooping the prize for Breakthrough Artist, beating out OneRepublic, pop singer Mika and US rockers Daughtry.

"I just have to thank everyone for helping me come so far. I've had such an amazing time in Asia," Lewis said.

Event host Jared Leto, a US actor who also fronts the band 30 Seconds to Mars, surprised the crowd by hinting that Lewis could be signing at the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics later this month.

"I can't say anything about it yet, but there is a possibility that I will be singing there," she told a press conference after the show.

OneRepublic took home the Best Hook-up award for their collaboration with mega-producer Timbaland on "Apologize", which they performed for the shrieking crowd.

In the Asian categories, Super Junior won the honours for favourite Korean artist, while the "Knockout Award" for the artist with the most influence among Asian youth went to The Click Five.

Thailand's favourite artist was TorSaksit, while Leo Ku won for top Hong Kong artist, besting Canto-pop idol Andy Lau.

US rockers Linkin Park were named Asia's favourite international artist, while Chicosci was named the best Philippines artist. Nicholas Teo won for Malaysia and Yovie & Nuno were tops in Indonesia.

Singapore's top act was the petite Stefanie Sun, a five-time winner of the same award and Taiwan's top pick was Show Lo.

Spiky-haired songstress Li Yuchun was China's favourite artist.

Hong Kong actress-singer Karen Mok was given a special "Inspiration" award for her work as a social activist.
