Raymond Lam Accepts It All With Pain


He drops tears again for the woman he once loved.

Since the leak of bed photos of Raymond Lam and Mavis Pan Shuang Shuang last month, there are non-stop news related to the incident. The two parties both accepted in-depth interviews to tell their side of story, but that didn't stop anything but provoked more stories to come out. Now it's even rumored there is a sex tape leak.

Originally planned to attend to the costume fitting of new drama "Return to the Three Kingdoms," Raymond was absent in the end but eventually showed up when he walked into the studio. He faced reporters reluctantly with high executive Virginia Lok, Eric Tsang, and producer of his drama by his side.

"During the period when we dated, if there is anything in any way that hurts her, even it's all just a scheme, I'm willing to accept it. She is still very young. Her future should be a good one. This whole thing already made people around us very worried. I'm so sorry!"

While he talked about his past relationship with Mavis, Raymond started to get teary. He said he thought of calling her, but didn't think it's a right time to do so. They are both emotionally affected and he "is in deep pain" right now.

Asked about a clip that is suspicious of being a sex tape with his voice in it, Raymond just sighed and expressed he is focusing on his career right now; it's his top priority. Whether he worries more would leak, he is helpless about it and said that's all he can say for now.

Mavis Pan Exposes Juicy Details of Her Relationship With Raymond Lam


The guy's done saying things, now it's the girl's turn.

Still remember the hot photos leak of Raymond Lam from last month? The incident continues as the girl in the matter, Mavis Pan Shuang Shuang, is telling more about her relationship with her TVB actor.

When they were together, the couple couldn't go out too often and they stayed at Raymond's house most of the time. Their first date is on the bed, yes, Raymond's bed!

"We couldn't go to public places for sure. So our first date was at his place. We talked the whole night on the bed. Then we held each other and fell asleep. This made me feel he is not particularly perverted."

Having a hot body (36D bust), most people would think she and Raymond would engage in intimate activity often, but she denied.

"In fact he got very tired from work already. You don't need that every time. Although that's part of a relationship, but it's not everything. Sometimes I would massage him. I won't do those purposely. I like to have it planned. When we were together, we hugged most of the time. I don't think he dated me for that. If so, he could've just go for a prostitute."

Others have accused Mavis' 36D bust is not natural, hinting breast implants. But Raymond actually assured his ex girlfriend on that.

"He would tell me sweetly, 'There are no girls like you.' I said, 'Everyone said I got plastic surgery.' He would say, 'I know the fact, and it's good enough. There is no need to care much.'"

Pressure from family and work caused this relationship to fall apart. Mavis expressed Raymond's dad dislikes his son is dating her.

"In general, I would come to visit him when I have time. When I was there, his dad said, 'You are here again?' He also needed me to follow three rules: we can't talk on the phone for more than 15 minutes, can only see each other once every 3 months, and we cannot be photographed by reporters, otherwise it's over."

Raymond himself said he broke up with Mavis for 2 months already, but Mavis doesn't agree on that.

"He didn't find me or reply my messages. He never say 'let's break up' to me. He always called me 'wifey wifey' in text messages. I was a little happy when he confirmed our relationship, but very upset that he said we are over already. Because in my heart, I never thought it's over."

Raymond Lam On Kissing Photos: A Good Memory


Bed photos last time, this time kiss ones.

Raymond Lam's bed photos with Pan Shuang Shuang just leaked last week and it's not over. Photos the magazine received also included a set of kiss photos. It's believed these new photos to the public are taken during Valentine's Day, which contradicts Raymond's statement on he and Pan broke up in January.

The magazine also spotted Pan showing up at the building where Raymond lives on March 15 and she could walk inside without being questioned by the security guard, which proves she is a regular visitor. Raymond said they already broke up, then why is she there? Are they still together?

Raymond already knew about the new photos and expressed he has nothing more to explain. He insisted he didn't propose like the magazine reported.

"It was a good memory," he said. "Magazine said I lied? Whatever. People around me know the real thing. No need to reply again. Let them write whatever they want."

The actor expressed he won't reply again even there are new reports. He didn't compare which set of photos hurts him more and said he just wants to do his job well now.

Reporters contacted Pan yesterday about the new leaked photos. When she knew they are her kissing photos with Raymond, she said helplessly: "I'm very upset by the incident. I've rejected many movies recently. I'm not saying which ones, don't want you guys to say I'm trying to promote myself again. I'm in Beijing right now, need to calm it down."

Raymond Lam Goes In-Depth On Previous Relationship


Raymond Lam has been replying reporters' questions related to his bed photos leak lately. Here he discloses the inside story of his relationship with former girlfriend Pan Shuang Shuang.

The only girlfriend Raymond ever admitted is Rain Li back in 2001. Now 10 years have passed, a set of photos taken on the bed when he was with his ex are leaked and he never imagined he would have to confirm who he dated this way. This is the biggest difficulty he ever faced in the showbiz. But he feels blessed from receiving support from others.

"I get upset every time reading related reports. But I feel blessed. Many friends, including colleagues who I'm not close with sent SMS to me, leaving me encouraging messages. I feel better when I got a message from my dad. Family is number one to me."

Raymond met Pan on the set of movie "The Emerald and the Pearl" last year. They finally got together sometime after they were done filming. But because of their busy work schedule plus personality difference, the relationship ended shortly in January this year. Although it was only a short one, but Raymond was actually serious about her, even brought her to see his parents.

"Although I didn't know what would happen between us, but I wanted to develop a good relationship. My parents' impression on her? It was okay in the beginning. But because I would be affected by my partner easily, when I was in relationship with her, I wasn't focused enough at work. Like after I worked the entire day, when we were on the phone, she might not be happy. If her attitudes or emotions are a little different, I would feel down, my mood would be affected. People around me know. My parents would say things about it. But it's my problem that I can't balance my relationship and work."

Although the relationship ended shortly, but Raymond expressed he won't mind dating people in the showbiz. He believes then they could understand and encourage each other. This incident won't leave a bad experience for him when it comes to dating.

"Things are different. I don't feel like I was used. Taking photos...I'm those who rarely take photos even with friends. But she loves taking photos, I don't mind, I just didn't know...She did send SMS to me after the report came out. But I don't want to talk about it."

He might be used this time, but Raymond still praises Pan a good girl.

"I didn't give her a card to buy things. Instead she bought many things for me. She kept buying things for me when she was out. She was very caring. I could hardly take time off to be with her. Many times we could hardly meet up. I have to make a decision, family and career, then love, how should I choose? What is missing? Maybe the right time."

Most people are accusing Pan for leaking these photos on purpose and using Raymond for fame. Pan herself once expressed the photos could be leak when she lost her phone in the hair salon. She has turned off her cellphone and keeps herself quiet these days. Her manager disclosed they are still investigating how the photos leaked, and they have a suspect in mind.

"Shuang Shaung and her assistant had some argument earlier. The assistant knows the password of Shuang Shuang's computer. We are still investigating. Shuang Shuang is very upset. She was supposed to film a movie in early April, but it looks like we would have to see. She doesn't want to speak out right now because we are being bombard."

Raymond Lam Has Learned a Lesson


After his shocking bed photos with then girlfriend Pan Shuang Shuang are leaked, Raymond Lam has been upset over the incident and once dropped tears. He disclosed in a recent radio interview that he was serious about the relationship, even brought her to meet his parents. However, about a month or two ago, an argument broke out, plus he is always busy, they gradually lost contact.

"Although we didn't officially say break up to each other," said Raymond. "But we are adults, should know what that means."

Raymond thinks there is no need to take any legal actions and he is not mad at her. He described Pan as a good girl. When they first started dating, she didn't dare to take photos of them together. But it was him who encouraged her to do so, because he believes it's normal for a couple to take photos together.

"I just didn't know she would even take photos when I was asleep," said Raymond.

Now their relationship and photos are exposed to the public, Raymond said he is still upset over it. Asked whether he would start another relationship soon, he seems to have learned a lesson.

"I need to think it through! Now I will focus on my career."

Raymond Lam's Bed Photos Leak


His fans must be heart-broken.

A series photos of Raymond Lam with Mainland model Mavis Pan Shuang Shuang are published by a magazine recently. With the leak of these photos, the two's relationship is also exposed to the public. Raymond attended to the costume fitting of new drama "Return to the Three Kingdoms" (tentative name) today and confirmed he and Pan were lovers.

"Many reporters know I had a girlfriend before I entered the showbiz. Since then I always wanted to be in a relationship, but I don't have a chance. Those rumors, I already told everyone they are just promotional, but people just don't believe me."

"This one, we indeed dated for a short period. But I never knew I would have to confirm it this way. I thought of developing this relationship seriously. I won't openly talk about it, but if reporters discovered it, I won't deny. This relationship ended for some time already."

Interviewed with wet eyes, Raymond appeared to have dropped tears for this unexpected incident. He didn't know how the photos were leaked and will try hard not to let this incident affect his performance at work. He also disclosed he and Pan haven't contact each other for a long time.

The TVB actor met his former 23-year-old girlfriend on the filming set of movie "The Emerald and the Pearl". When Raymond done filming and went back to Hong Kong, Pan would always come to visit him, sometimes at his house. Raymond also took some time off to meet her when he worked in Beijing. Raymond even brought her to meet his parents. However, due to busy work schedules, the two decided to end this relationship peacefully.
 
Pan is a young model from Zhejiang, China. Because she resembles sexy icon Shu Qi and have a good body, she is nicknamed "little Shu Qi" by netizens.

Other artists' comments on the photo leak

Charlene Choi: "I don't really remember her [Pan Shuang Shuang]. I feel Raymond is betrayed. He met the wrong person."

Tavia Yeung: "Really?! Maybe the report is exaggerated. I haven't read the report. But I think we should focus on his performance at work, not on those pictures."

Kenneth Ma: "Professor King [Raymond's role in 'Mysteries of Love'] taught people physics last time. Now he as Zhu Geliang would teach us truth in life."

Joel Chan: "Raymond and I don't usually talk about relationships. I think he knows how to handle it."

Linda Chung: "If you're in a relationship, you will be very into it. It's normal to take this kind of photos."

Rain Li: "Poor Raymond. Plus he's career is good right now."

Raymond Lam is Mad At Photos Leak


Raymond Lam and Charmaine Sheh's upcoming drama <花花世界花家姐> (rough translation: Colorful World of Sister Fa) has not been released yet, however, photos taken during filming were already leaked online.

The drama's release date is not confirmed but lately a fan has been posting unreleased photos of the drama online, which would have been posted on the drama's official page later on. These photos include Raymond in a jungle dress and Raymond self-snapping with Charmaine.

Drama photos would usually release by the external affairs department two weeks before the drama premiers. TVB is currently in an investigation to figure out who leaks these photos. It would take legal actions if personal profit is involved. However, the situation is different if Raymond's fans are using them just to promote their idol's drama.

Raymond himself is mad at the photo leak, because his surprises for audiences are exposed now. His partner Charmaine is also disappointed and hopes the company would take this incident seriously.

I went and check, there are ALOT of them. The surprise is ruined for me, do you still want to be surprised? If so, wait!]

Raymond Lam Feels Guilty Winning Asia-Pacific Most Popular Again


Winning awards is a good news to his fans, but Raymond Lam is feeling guilty about it.

The singer was criticized for winning Asia-Pacific Most Popular Hong Kong Singer at last year's Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards. He won this award again last night, and it was definitely a surprise for him.

"I never thought I'm able win this again," he said, "There must be different voices out there about me winning this award, but I will try harder to make everyone acknowledge me."

The TVB artist feels guilty winning this award because he hasn't released a Mandarin album yet. He felt the same last year and that's why he keeps the award inside a box, afraid to put it out. But he would bring it out soon.

"I will release a Mandarin album in March, focusing at the Southeast Asia market," he disclosed, "Then I would bring last year's award out."

Everyone around me has been asking me about it, but rumors are only a promotion tool used by the company."

Raymond Lam Teary Eyes After Getting Note of Encouragement From Mrs. Fong


Since producer Lawrence Wong said Raymond Lam led the box office to do poorly and basically said that he can't support the market, Raymond has not responded because he's been working in Mainland. Last night, Raymond was one of the guest performers at the Miss Chinese International Pageant 2010 held in Tianjin. Accompanied by TVB executive Virgina Lok, Raymond meets the media and responded to the news for the first time.

Raymond said that he has not seen the reports, but it was only this year that he stepped into the film scene, so he is willing to accept all comments and promises to continue his hard work. He said: "I was never upset. I found out about the news because someone told me, but comments and evaluations from my seniors will help me think where I need to improve." Later, Miss Lok handed Raymond a book, where there was a note personally written by 6th Aunt (Mona Fong) attached inside. The note read: "Have no fear of gossips, favorable criticisms are acclaimed, continue to achieve better results." Seeing his boss's support for him, Raymond had teary eyes on the spot.

Speaking of this year's popular discussions on Moses Chan and Wayne Lai battling for TV King, Raymond frankly said that every year he looks at it like something normal. Though he has been in the industry for more than 10 years, but there are many TVB seniors around, as a junior he only needs to focus on his own part. He said: "Mrs. Fong sent me a note of encouragement, I really felt surprised, didn't know how to react, I couldn't believe that she notices my work. Before many seniors said they bleed TVB's blood, now I finally understand, having such a good boss watching over me and being so understanding, my competitive heart really came back! Ask me if I have confidence to win the award? I say yes I do!"

Miss Lok expressed that she intends to urge her artists and colleagues to quit drinking. As for Lawrence Wong exposing the inside story within the company while drunk, she said: "It's only called the inside story if it's true. (The truth comes out after drinking!) It's not true. (Was Mrs. Fong upset?) I report everything that happens in the company to her weekly, she understands what's going on. The incident that happened that day I only knew after reading the paper. I had to calm down and look at it a second time, not emotional, not angered, just felt that it's a huge problem."
