I'm not a fan of Gillian's but even if i were, the photos (if real) aren't much of a big deal to me, since like what many have mentioned, it's not as if she's doing something ghastly or horrendous like torturing someone.
It's all to do with the society's mindset and her screen image though. Not many of her teenage fans (or even the Asian society at large) can stomach such acts being made public and i do feel sorry for her albeit her foolishness. Whatever the case, even if it doesnt affect her career, such pics being exposed to the public eye will no doubt affect her deeply (assuming the pics are real). It's the same for any normal being as well. No one would really feel good given the same situation, unless u dont give a damn and hope to milk all your 30 days worth of fame with such pics.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

There's no guess who's in the headlines of this week's tabloid mags. I read about Cecilia and Bobo's predicament and feel really sorry for them:
Cecilia's mother-in-law is really pissed, Nic returned to HK and allegedly had a big row with Cecilia, and there was rumors of divorce (I hope not, poor Lucas!). Now reporters are camping under their residence to catch on the 'divorce' news.
Bobo have been locking herself at home and crying. Her friends said that her wedding might be cancelled because the fiance refused to answer her calls. Of course this is still from so-called 'sources', but I think the wedding will be postponed indefinitely.
Both parties have responsibilities. There's no doubt that Edison is a S.O.B. pervert, but the girls also took those pictures willingly. No such thing as trusting that your 'partner' will take good care of them. Obviously not since Edison is alleged of carrying around his conquest pics in his laptop and Blackberry.
this edison guy is disgusted. i never seen anyone that could "do it" with that many people. does he know what love is?
its impossible to love that many people in one's life, thus, he "do it" with these girls because of sex only, not love. i bet he took pix of them as an trophy for his ego....i bet, he was thinking, "yeah, i screwed all the big stars in HK"....
that is wrong & plain dirty.
i feel sorry for all the gals who were played by him. its NOT okay ...
why the policeman put the guy who leaked the materials in jail? the one they should lock up is EDISON, the sex-maniac.
in HK society when u have money, FACE is everything. nicholas & bobo's fiancee both are rich, no way they wanna a wife like that...its degrading to a HK man. even a poor HK guy can't accept that, much more so for a wealthy & famous HK guy like nicholas. now everyone knows his wife was played by edison, who embarassing is that?
i feel so sorry for nicholas... how can he face HK society when his wife like that?
that edison guy's career is OVER. HK society will not forgive him, same goes for gilian chung & cecilia chueng; they are FINISHED in HK!!!! eveytime i think of them, i just think of porn stars...well, i bet, millions in HK think like that too. their careers is soooo over! its so dirty & sick, if u ask me!

Like I said before in another forum we Chinese have a saying, ling gei ren zhi mo gei ren jian, 令給人知莫給人見, meaning better to let people know than to let them see. Nic and Bobo's fiancees might have been aware of CC and Bobo's past discretions and accepted it. However, it's one thing to be aware, it's a whole other thing to see it full fledge with the rest of the world.
I believe that Gillian is the only one whose career, or career as we know it is over. She could always attempt to transform to a Hyori/Jolin image, but I don't think that's going to work.
Cecilia's problem is more personal than career related. She has always been open about being a wild child, and I think the audience can accept her as she actually has talent as an actress. Look at Hsu Chi who started in porn and has evolved into a solid mainstream actress. The family side is a whole other matter. I agree completely that given their prestigious family backgrounds, Nic/Bobo's fiance will be put to the test. Even if they are tolerant and understanding enough to accept CC/Bobo's past as passed, the family pressure will be tremendous.
Edison is actually the most likely to be fine after this. Let's face it, the majority of guys are more envious than pissed at his actions. Heck given the current state of society he might even be put up another notch since he's proved his player skills. At the least he will the male market share in the industry.
FYI here is a list of all the actresses/singers/models allegedly linked to Edison in chronological order are:
2000: Maggie Q, Elvia Hsiao, Amanda S
2001:Gillian Chung, Rain Li
2002:BoBo Chan, Niki Chow
2003:Cecilia Cheung
2004:Stephy Tang, Rosanne(2R), Cherrie Ying
2005:Jolin Tsai, Miriam Yeung
2006: Vincy Yeung

弃我去者作日之日不可留,
乱我心者今日之事多烦忧.
why is he disgusting? if he purposely took those pics to release them to the media then yes, he is disgusting. but i doubt that was his intentions. like i said before, it is very normal for couples to take pics or vdo tape themselves while in the bedroom. and 'do it with that many people'? lol, so far edison's been seen doing it with gillian and bobo. that's only two. he didn't appear in cecilia's pic, so i won't jump to any conclusions on her. sleeping with your girlfriend/boyfriend is not anything shocking either. there is nothing wrong that they slept together. it was just their stupidity that they got 'exposed'. and stupidity that they left evidence for people to expose them.
it's impossible to love that many people? most guys i know in real life go through that many girls in one year. these pics of edison and the girls were from years back. i'm sure bobo's pics were taken before she left the entertainment biz. so i'm sure her pics are the oldest.its impossible to love that many people in one's life, thus, he "do it" with these girls because of sex only, not love. i bet he took pix of them as an trophy for his ego....i bet, he was thinking, "yeah, i screwed all the big stars in HK"....
that is wrong & plain dirty.
i feel sorry for all the gals who were played by him. its NOT okay ...
why the policeman put the guy who leaked the materials in jail? the one they should lock up is EDISON, the sex-maniac.
and lock edison up for being a sex-maniac? lol, the dude was caught doing what every other male would do if given the chance that edison got. the person that needs to be locked up is the person that did something illegal and that is the sick pervert who posted these pics. it's not illegal to have sex with your girlfriend, but it is illegal to post these kinds of pictures, especially without the consent of the parties involved.
now, i'm the last person who should be defending edison because i don't think much of him. but i have reasons when i trash a person for other people to read online. sex with more than one person at or not at the same time can be disgusting to you, but you should know that it is absolutely normal. people who don't accept this fact will never be able to forgive gillian, bobo, cecilia, and the rest of the girls involved. i'm sure these girls have had more than one sex partner, just like edison.
Yeah Edison's career won't be hurt that much. He never had the innocent image anyways. He was always the bad boy anyways. I never liked this guy anyways. This incident doesn't make me think less of him or anything. To me it's not a big deal, but i just think he's a loser b4 all of this.
About the ppl that was linked with him, Amanda S is very interesting.
Kinda hard to believe Niki Chow hasn't anything to do with this, but anything is possible.

Anyone who can read Chinese wanna translate for us?

I had extreme doubt to the authenticity of the pictures when they first appeared online. They do look very convincing, but I still held on to the possibility that they are fake. With today’s advance photoshop programs and technology, it’s hard for even professionals to tell. However, after seeing the celebrities’ reactions to the pictures, it’s difficult to give them the benefit of the doubt.
If the pics are altered, normal people would quickly clarify the situation and announce their innocence because this is a big deal. No such response from the parties involved. Instead, they go into hiding and even leave the country with no comment, letting their publicists and lawyers handle the mess. So it gives the public another reason to conclude the pics are authentic and were taken from Edison’s possession.
Some people might think: the pics are real… so what? It’s only normal for dating couples to have sex and even record/take pictures.
I think the biggest shock to the public and myself is that we may know the couples are doing it, but we don’t want to see the proof of their private sex lives. Or at least most of us don’t. Same goes to the women’s significant others. Nic and Bobo’s fiancé knew the women dated other men before, but I’m sure it can’t be easy to know the public are viewing pictures of the women in such compromising positions. The matter is just embarrassing to the celebrities.
Everyone involved should hold certain amount of responsibility. Being a celebrity, it’s just plain stupidity to keep evidence of such matter, unless one does not care about the possibility of the pics/video leaking to the public. I’ve never been a fan of them and don’t think I will in the future, but I’m just amazed that I’ve followed this story for so long. Sex does intrigue everyone…
Aw, poor Lucas. But yea, I can't see Nic's mom being happy about this. And Nic would be PISSED if Cecilia wasn't honest with him about her past "relationship" with Edison. And there is a good chance she didn't reveal all about her previous sex rendezvous.
Yikes...what a huge mess.
And yea I agree, it is degrading for a rich, well-off HK man to have his fiance/wife be in this predicament (I'm not agreeing with this view at all..I'm just saying this is how society views it).
I do feel sorry for Bobo because she has already left the entertainment scene, and it still haunts her.
I think Edison is the bigger jerk BECAUSE he KEPT all these pictures AFTER all these women broke up with him. That's disgusting. Especially for Bobo and Cecilia. They already are dating someone else, yet he still keeps the pics? What does he plan on doing w/ it anyway? Esp considering it's his FRIEND's wife.sheesh.
the only way we all would know if it is real or fake is if the star come forward and tell that it is fake ,but no they didn't they hide out so this makes the people suspec that it can be true.
i don't see the big deal is....Gillian is a goodlooking woman, i would've film me with her too kekekekek.....i consider Edison is my hero from now on...
Can't agree more with that statement.
If the pics are real, no way are they gonna admit to it.
If the pics are fake, they would have straightened this matter days ago. They can come out and deny, but it's a bit late to convince many in the public. Rule of thumb, when there is a crisis, don't run and hide, address the issue as soon as possible.

I get a kick out of this line.
'to all the press that have misquoted me from today's newspaper
i would like for u to respect the situation that everyone is in and report the truth to the fullest' - EDC blog
If he has the guts to ask the press to report the truth to the fullest, he should do the same. Why the heck did he run away to another country? Him not coming out and telling the truth is what caused all these press to misquote him. Seriously Mr. EDC, this is NOT the time to be pissing off the press.
