    Gigi Lai Says Goodbye for a Year, Rejects All TVB Series for 2008


    Who was the best looking actress at the 40th TVB Anniversary Awards? Possibly most people would say it was Gigi Lai, who turned up in a revealing golden dress that showed off all her sexy curves. Whether it was on the red carpet or inside the awards venue, Gigi was always the center of media attention. Although Gigi only received the “Mainland Audience’s Fave TVB Actress Award”, she managed to get more attention than “TV Queen” Lee Sze Kei. However, after the awards show finished, Gigi had a surprise announcement to make at the press conference – she will not be accepting any work for 2008.


    Center of Attention at the Awards

    Last night on the red carpet, Gigi arrived together with Roger Kwok, when she appeared in her low-cute revealing dress she managed to create chaos amongst the phtographers. Gigi’s Versace dress is the one and only on the globe, so it is priceless. At the press conference, Gigi denied that she was trying to get all the attention “I didn’t have time to pick out a dress, this dress was chosen for me by TVB, I haven’t even tried it on before the awards, quite unexpected that it would be this sexy.” Gigi was happy to wear this dress as it was the only one in the world, but she was careful not to reveal too much.


    Refused to Film any TVB Series for 2008

    This year TVB added two new awards “Mainland Audience’s Fave TVB Actor/Actress Awards” the results were determined by mainland viewer’s votes, the winners turned out to be Gigi and Raymond Lam. Later on during an interview with reporters, Gigi said “I will be taking leave for 2008, I’ve already rejected any offers to film TVB series next year, I just want to concentrate on caring for my brother.”

    Gigi’s brother was involved in a terrible car accident during the year, at one point it was feared that he may not live. Gigi said this incident changed her views on life “Two years ago when I was crowned TV Queen I felt so excited, but after my brother’s car accident, awards have no meaning for me anymore. Most important is to have good health and live a happy life.” But to leave at the peak of her career, is she worried that she will be forgotten by the audience? Gigi said, during her 20 years in the entertainment business, she has done everything from movies, TV series, singing, nowdays fame and money are no longer important.


    Love Life is Completely Blank

    Gigi was moved to tears when she saw Lydia Shum appear onstage in a wheelchair, she told reporters, “To see Lydia like this makes me so emotional, life is too short, there are things in life that are much more important than money and status.”

    When reporters asked Gigi about her current love life, Gigi revealed: “My love life is totally blank, but there are still many people who loves me such as my family, friends and fans, I feel contented already.” At the same time she receives love from people, she wants to give her love to others, in the future she will do more charity work to help those in need.

    Lydia Shum's health has been failing pretty quickly this last year.

    Is it because of her obesity? Being overweight could lead to health problems, it's fact.

    But being fat does not cause you to have cancer around the gallbladder, I think.

    Doesn't being obese ncreases your overall risk of cancer (as well as risk of everything else)?

    Her daughter seems to have lost all her excess weight. I remember in the mid 90's I saw a pic of her then teenage daughter and she was a house too. I remember seeing a growup pic of her and thinking she got thin.

    Hey how come Roger Kwok has to be GL's "not my date" date but doesn't actually get any? Or does he? Hmm...

    Yeah, suppose you're right. Coupled with the fact she's also old and that would explain everything.

    I thought this thread was about Gigi. Lol.
    I guess Lydia's case is more important =/
    Hope she'll recover soon.
    As well as Gigi's brother; hope he'll make it >.~

    Oh I didn't even know RK was married. So why is a married man escorting another woman to a public event? I dont' care if she's his friend. If it's ok to do what he did, let me start asking out my hot married friends.

    GG recently revealed to the press that her brother has been discharged from hospital and is recuperating at home. In the meantime, she's taking over the management of his clinic (her brother's a dermatologist) ..probably the reason why she's not going to accept any series this year. She really loves her twin so much, taking time off to take care of him (even when she had to work) when he was hospitalized and now, running his business when he's recovering. Plus, she was the one who worked to put him through medical school in the past.

    Anyhow, some of her chinese forums say that GG will still be working on advertisments and endorsements (well those are the ones which bring her the big bucks) and she might still do a series or two if she can fork out the time.
