Dating for over 10 years, Edmond Leung and Karen Lam tied the knot a night ago. Although the couple did not have "the wedding of the century" and although the bride did not wear the most luxurious jewelry they, however, did have friendship as countless industry stars showed up at their wedding making it a "star-studded wedding."

To give his wife the best wedding possible, Edmond invited Dicky Cheung and Eric Tsang to be the MCs of the night. Edmond's "brothers" William So, Andy Hui and Eason Chan performed for the couple as William performed Love, Andy performed 唯獨你是不可取替 and Eason performed 明年今日. Edmond, who earlier said he wouldn't perform during the night, ended up performing 太太 太太. Edmond thanked William So for helping him with his tuxedo, Denise Ho's father for his help and Paco Wong for the 8 crates of wine.

Chris Chow Rejects Filming "Strawberry Cliff" Without Eason

Two nights ago, Eason Chan, Eric Tsang, Gigi Leung, Karena Lam, Andy Hui and others attended the 2008 Hong Kong Film Development Council Christmas Reception where the Hong Kong Film New Action plan was revealed. Eight films would receive funding under the plan.

During the reception, Eason revealed that he did not intend on filming the full English language film Strawberry Cliff (贖命), but director Chris Chow (周隼) informed him if he doesn't participate they will cancel their request for funds. Eason says, "I was shocked, so I accepted, but the entire film was in English which was a challenge." The film eventually received $3 million HKD in funding.

Eason further reveals that he worked with actress Leslie-Anne Huff and his scenes were filmed in Hong Kong, saying, "In all the times I've filmed in Hong Kong, this was my first time experiencing a Hollywood-like feel. This is because they set 8 hours to film and they will film in 8 hours, unlike the typical Hong Kong film where the pace is extremely fast, just like if we were illegal street vendors running from the police (jau gwai 走鬼)."
