By spcnet.tv on November 27th, 2012 | Hong Kong Entertainment

Things may have gone well for Edison Chen since his infamous sex scandals, but not all his ex-girlfriends are ecstatic about his newfound happiness.

As reported on Groove Asia website, singer Gillian Chung attended Metro Radio’s Original Music Hot Singing 2012 and expressed her hope for Twins to win the major accolades at this year’s Metro Radio Hits Music Awards.

During an interview with the media, the singer was then asked regarding the rumour surrounding former boyfriend, Edison Chen’s proposal to his new girlfriend, Angela Meng. Gillian retorted, “His proposal has nothing to do with me but I wish them all the best.”

Asked if she would attend his wedding if invited, the Twins member replied, “No, I won’t go. Please don’t link me to him ever again.”

In early 2008, Gillian Chung was named one of the celebrities whose sexually explicit pictures with Edison Chen were leaked online. The pictures tarnished Chung’s “squeaky-clean image”, and despite her apology for her naivety, she was dropped from many projects due to the scandal.

It took Gillian over a year before she was able to revive her career.

Yesterday Linda Chung released her first album since joining record label Stars Shine. This time Linda is personally responsible for the costumes and album’s concept. She said: “The theme this time is happiness, so I especially painted my fingernails different colors and there is a large ‘heart’ drawn on my hand. I drew the heart myself!”

Linda frankly expressed she had gone through some changes in her mentality. She is much more active and laid back compared to the past. She said: “This change has increased my self-confidence, I’m now more proactive and positive. I hope this will be able to bring positive energy to everyone!” Her new album entitled Love Love Love continues to focus on love songs and the album title coincidentally came from the fact that Linda is used to writing the word “love” three times to end her letters.
