Fala Chen responds on Weibo denying the 'mansion' rumors

It had long been rumored that Fala Chen and her Neway boyfriend (Sit Sai Hang) were married, but she never confirmed herself. Recently it was rumored again that the couple were married in 2008 and Fala even got a 40,000feet mansion located in the US from her 'husband' as wedding gift. Yesterday Fala clarified the rumor on Weibo, but since she grew up in the US, Fala was extremely careless and wrote 'bought' as 'sold'.

Fala wrote: "Over the several years that I have been working, I still do not own any properties in HK, just during the period of the U.S financial turmoil, I 'sold' (she means 'brought') a foreclosure home as a form of investment. The price of the home is just equivalent to Hong Kong's several 10 square meters (several hundred square feet) apartments, which I can still afford. Somehow I am related to whatever gossip there is." According to sources, the US property under Fala's name is located in Atlanta, Georgia and during the financial turmoil, the price was about $760,000 USD (~HK$5.9 million).

Based on her Weibo response, she only clarified that her US property is not a wedding gift from Mr. Sit, but she did not respond to the 2008 secret marriage rumor.

A few days ago when Fala responded to Marie Zhuge's miscarriage rumor, but Marie later criticized that she took a heartbreaking incident as a joke, therefore Fala did not mention about the miscarriage anymore.

Fala Chen blames 'Lives of Omission' isn't an anniversary series

Fala Chen has confidence for the December 5th TVB Anniversary Awards. She expressed everything is already the past and that during filming she tried her best to do the best. The other night, Malaysia Astro held the "AOD My Favourite 2011 Awards', Myolie Wu won Best Actress, while she and Michael Tse won the 'Favorite On-Screen Couple'. It was said the Astro awards are just 'condolence awards' and that Myolie's chances to get the TVB TV Queen award is greatly reduced. Fala was asked if she has more confidence to get TV Queen now? She said: "Both award presentations have different mechanisms and are by different hosts. Audiences' taste is different, each person will have a chance, it's very fair."

Also, it was rumored TVB deliberately wanted to use Curse of the Royal Harem (CRH) to push Myolie Wu for TV Queen and not Fala's Lives of Omission , in which her role was well-received. Fala said: "CRH is the anniversary series, so naturally the series will be heavily weighted. I also hope Lives of Omission could be broadcast during the anniversary period, it's hot and fresh."

Fala will be heading over to the States to recover from her [trigeminal] condition and had no choice but to withdraw from new series The Prominent Family. After Miss Hong Kong Rebecca Zhu replaced Fala in new film Laughing Gor Turning Point 2, she replaces her again in the new series. Looks like Rebecca is Fala's 'substitute'. Fala said: "I don't agree that we look alike. Rebecca was formally a dancer and a performer, I believe she will have different developments in her performances. As Miss HK, Rebecca has been working continuously, I am happy for her too."

Rebecca Zhu replaces Fala Chen for TVB grand production 'The Prominent Family'

Fala Chen is experiencing some issues with her trigeminal nerves and because she fears her condition may worsen, she decided to take off next month (December) to seek treatment in the US. Because of this, she helplessly withdrew from TVB grand production series The Prominent Family. TVB is urgently looking for a replacement, it was said Fala's role is already decided for this year's Miss Hong Kong winner Rebecca Zhu. TVB Production Director Tommy Leung admitted: "Although Rebecca Zhu is a newcomer, but she is already quite comfortable with acting. (Is the decision related to Rebecca having some resemblance to Fala?) A little! But it is mainly because she has suitable qualities for the role. This series is set in the 1920-1930s era."

Rebecca can be considered to be the representative of the many Miss HK. Not long after she received the title, she got to be in a movie and now she even has the opportunity to be one of the lead actresses in a TV series. She will have the chance to compete with Tavia Yeung in acting skills, so she definitely did not mind picking up a 'second hand'. "TVB gave me so many opportunities, I am very grateful and happy. I will put in my greatest effort and cherish. As a newcomer, there is definitely pressure, but I just met with Tavia Yeung, we chatted and she's a very nice person. I believe with the others watching over me, it should be okay."

Fala Chen Suffers Facial Paralysis; Will Take Hiatus From TVB and Rest in USA

At the 2011 TVB Anniversary Gala, Fala Chen (陳法拉) wore an evening gown which revealed her bare back and $16 million HKD in jewelry sponsored by Emperor Jewellry and Watch. At the event, Fala confirmed that she suffered paralysis on the left side of her face and will return to the United States to rest for a period of time.

Fala said, “It was my body’s way of sending off an alarm. Due to my current filming schedule, there was no time to see a doctor. I have not been feeling well over the last two months. I have problems with the trigeminal nerves, which may be triggered by stress and tension.” (Will this lead to severe facial paralysis?) “That is what the doctor said may occur. As an artist, we depend upon the face for our income. I have been taking painkillers for the time being and waiting for The Palace Scheme of East and West "東西宮略" to finish filming in the next two weeks. I will take one month off to rest in the United States afterward.”

Placing priority in her health first, Fala sighed and noted that she had to bail out of acting in Prominent Family "名媛望族". After her condition improves, she will return to Hong Kong to film Triumph In The Skies 2 "衝上雲霄2".
