Aileen Tan’s Sweet 30‑Year Kissing Comeback
For the seasoned Singaporean star, the announcement that she’d be tossing her lips on screen again had her practically dancing in her kitchen. After 30 years of beautiful drama moments, Aileen Tan was thrilled to finally see that cheery “kiss” depicted in the Channel 8 series Happy Prince.
The Big Reveal
- Press‑Conference Moment: On January 3, the 53‑year‑old named the world her “second kissing scene” after a long hiatus. She even called her husband in disbelief, wondering who the lucky “little fresh meat” (Mandarin slang for a good-looking young man) would be.
- Unexpected Twist: Turns out, the co‑star wasn’t a familiar face. The new pairing added a sprinkle of nerves and a dash of challenge to the shoot.
- Channel 8’s Red‑Pilled Rules: The network’s conservative standards left no room for tongues—no smooch with an overt wet kiss. The romance was all dry.
I’d Love a Choice in the Future
The fresh kiss prompted Aileen to fire off a quick question to the executive producer. “For my next romantic moment, can I pick my own xiao xian rou?” she asked. She’s hoping for a partner she can truly sync with and who can bring a bit more menu to the screen.
Cameo of a Tiny Fan
In a side note, someone tried to sneak a photo of Cecelia Cheung’s charming little boy. Thankfully, this little paparazzi was sent re‑primed—no nudging limbs of the mischievous little star.
All in all, Aileen’s return to the kiss‑scene is a heart‑warming reminder that sometimes even the most seasoned performers just need a little fresh love on stage.
Cecilia Cheung Gets a Playful Shout‑Out from a Lion‑Shy Mom
Picture this: Disneyland v – the sunshine, the laughs, and a sudden “roar” that’s not from a ride but from a protective mama.
Why the Roar?
Cecilia Cheung, the Hong Kong pop icon who’s always ready to pounce on a selfie, discovered that when someone tries to sneak a photo of her 2‑year‑old son Marcus, her instinct is to swoop in.
- She keeps Marcus’s face a mystery—think stickers or emoji overlays in every shot.
- Her other boys, Lucas and Quintus, get the paparazzi love, but Marcus stays under the seal of secrecy.
- The mother’s guard gets triggered once a curious stranger latches onto a camera and clicks while they’re strolling through a theme park.
The Insta‑Story Buzz
Swift as a cheetah, Cecilia snapped a photo of the would‑be photographer and posted it on Instagram Stories, scribbling a friendly reminder: “Dear Sir, please don’t secretly photograph little kids; respect privacy.”
And true to her own “little dragon,” she capped the image with a smiley‑apple sticker to keep the guy’s face under wraps.
Quick Recap
Cecilia’s Playful Protectiveness
- Mom remains ever‑guarded over Marcus, keeping his real look hidden.
- Encountered a would‑be photobomber at a fun fair.
- Responded by sniping a photo of the intruder and “soft‑warping” him for the story.
- All in all, a humorous, but rightful, shout‑out to personal privacy.
This episode proves that even the biggest celebrity superheroes know what it’s like to lead the guard‑dog squad for their little ones.
Age‑Gap Love: Shaun Chen Keeps it Real
In the heart‑warming world of modern relationships, the old guard—parents who cling to tradition—often flinch at romance that spans decades. Thankfully, 41‑year‑old Thai‑American actor Shaun Chen is part of the rebellious minority that says, “Let it be!”
What’s the Deal?
During a recent press tour for After The Stars, Shaun squeezed into an 8‑Days interview and hit the gas:
- Age isn’t a ruler right now. “Aiya, older guys are better,” he mused. Apart from the fun “cama‑cam” factor, he insists that, as long as the suitor is healthy, mature, & financially stable, why not? He even added a sweet reassurance: if the man treats his daughters well—that’s all the frontier needs.
- “Playboys? No guilt trip.” The actor’s screen role actually mirrors real life: his daughters may fail a “lesson to learn” and leave their hearts unguarded, but he’s ready for their crushy journeys.
She-Strong Daughters
Smiling, Shaun boasts that his girls possess rock‑solid personalities—sharpening them into a fearsome group of “girl power.” “Girls these days are so tough!” he giggles. The drama? He’s simply confident that his daughters won’t be “bully‑soft” by boys. Instead, they’ll stand up for themselves and carve their own destinies.
Bottom Line
Old‑school “age gaps” matters are chilling for many household judges. Friend‑dad Shaun Chen announces a fresh approach: open minds, clear hearts, and a three‑part “safe‑ness” checklist—health, maturity, stability. Want your love life to break the mold? He says the future is already here.
