News - December 2003

Kelly and her boyfriend, Alex, were able to avoid the paparazzi and had spent a sweet Christmas eve together outside. Kelly mentioned that she was fortunate that she did not have any work commitment for that evening and managed to get a table for candle-light dinner even though they did not make any reservations. They had chosen the same restaurant because they had celebrated Kelly's mother's birthday and had avoided the paparazzi. She had later presented her boyfriend with the Playstation game console.

Earlier, while Kelly was in Taiwan to promote Infernal Affairs 3, a magazine had reported that Kelly had made a mess in her hotel room. The report added that she had a big feast and dirtied the room. Kelly explained that she had her meals with her assistants in the room and not by herself. She instead questioned the reporters that does everyone need to clean up and tidy the hotel room before they leave? Kelly's manager had also pointed out that the reporter's action was a breech of privacy and it was still a doubt whether that room was really occupied previously by them.

Kelly had recently released her new songs and compilation album. She laughed that it was a planned by the record company to make some earnings before the end of the year. She was not the company's saviour or 'money tree' and her relationship with her record company is one that is dependent on each other. Yesterday afternoon, she signed almost a thousand autographs for fans in Tuen Mun as well as to attend a fund-raising event for the Red Cross.

陳慧琳﹕Check Out都要執房﹖被指住酒店無手尾

陳慧琳與男友 Alex 前晚撐檯腳度平安夜，成功避過狗仔隊。 Kelly 稱難得前晚沒有工作，她跟男友沒有預先訂位，到了一間未有狗仔隊發現星蹤的餐廳。早前 Kelly 媽咪生日，他們往食飯未被偷影。今次她與 Alex 再選擇同一間餐廳，兩人亨受燭光晚餐，未有理會身邊食客的目光。 Kelly 送遊戲機給男友作聖誕禮物。

早前 Kelly 與《無間道 III 》的演員到台灣宣傳，有報道指 Kelly 把酒店房間弄致七國咁亂，並指她無手尾兼大食。 Kelly 稱她與工作人員大伙兒在房間用膳，並非獨食。被指無手尾 ﹖ 她反問 ﹕ 「乜有人住酒店離開房間時會執埋房才走咩 ﹖ 」 Kelly 經理人鍾珍指有關報道缺德兼侵犯私隱，事實上周刊所影的房間是否 Kelly 住過的也成疑問。

最近唱片公司推出 Kelly 的新曲加精選唱片。她笑言年尾唱片公司也要賺點錢，自己並非公司救星或搖錢樹，雙方關係唇齒相依。昨日 Kelly 出席屯門舉行的簽名會活動，為千名歌迷簽名外亦有慈善義賣捐助紅十字會。

Singing Well Is Her Main Concern

Kelly was yesterday invited to attend the opening of the Asia Game Show. She was spotted as the image of the little girl in the movie "Leon The Professional" and was extremely eye-catching.

The organisers had arranged for a competing match between Kelly and the designer of GT4, but in the end Kelly had lost due to her lack of experience in car driving. However, Kelly enjoyed herself very much during the competition. Kelly was later awarded with the only White Playstation game console in HK and she has decided to give it as a present to her boyfriend. She laughed that her boyfriend likes to play video games and will be surprised to receive such a gift.

When questioned on her disappearance from the RTHK interview, Kelly's reply was that she would talk less to invite less gossips. Her main concern will be to sing her song well. Did she really cry because of her unsatisfactory results for the awards presentation? Kelly immediately denied and said what was there to cry for? Instead, she admitted that she was surprised on her results and became listless in the show. She did self-reflection and decided it is more important to sing her songs well and to invite less gossips. She did not want to give further comments on Andy Hui and Karen Mok's unsatisfaction on the radio station or Alan Tam's criticism on the two singers to reflect on their mistakes.

For the remaining three awards presentations, Kelly will not set high expectations on herself but she will still attend them. Kelly had also clarified that her manager did not kick up a fuss at the record company for being unhappy about the results as stated by the media.

Kelly was satisfactory on her performance in China and a number of singers had also backed her up that she should have got more awards. Gigi Leung, who won the Most Popular Female Singer silver award, had felt that Kelly's results was good and should be a hot favorite for the award. Kelly will not feel unhappy to meet Gigi in the future even though she had lost to her in the award. Kelly's fans had also written their unsatisfaction to the press but Kelly was not too supportive of the idea. She had still thanked them for their concern.

Kelly added that a meeting with the staff of her record label was done to find out what probable mistakes that they could have committed. However, they were unable to find any. Will they have talks again with RTHK? Her manager, Miss Chung, wanted to let the matter rest and did not want to give further pressure on the radio station. Many had suspected that it is due to Paco Wong's resignation from the record company that led to the poor results of the singers in the company. But Miss Chung believed that the main problem was that the songs were not too popular.

陳慧琳：唱好歌才是重要

陳慧琳昨日應邀出席「亞洲遊戲展開幕禮」，為是次活動主持開幕儀式。 Kelly 經過悉心打扮，以電影《這個殺手不太冷》的女小演員造型出現活動，非常突出。

現場還安排 Kelly 跟遊戲機的設計師進行一項賽車遊戲比賽，由於 Kelly 不懂駕車關係，自不然較輸蝕，然而她卻玩得相當投入，惜最終亦敗給對方。繼而大會更將這部全港僅得一部的白色遊戲機送給她， Kelly 打算送給男友，作為聖誕禮物；笑言男友一向都愛打機，收到這份禮物定會很驚喜。

只得一獎感覺愕然

日前 Kelly 臨時甩底，缺席周國豐主持的節目，因而傳出她不滿在「港台」頒獎禮的成績，以行動作出無聲抗議。向 Kelly 問及甩底的原因時，她強調：「少說話，少是非，唱好歌才是我的格言。」問 Kelly 有沒有因為不滿頒獎禮的成績而落淚，她連忙作出否認：「有甚麼好喊？」但她承認得知在十大金曲頒獎禮上僅得一個獎項時，亦感愕然，且即時變得心不在焉；經過反省後，她覺得最重要是唱好歌，無謂再生是非呢！對於許志安和莫文蔚對成績不滿，而「阿倫」批評二人好應自我反省， Kelly 聞言後都是一句：「少說話，少是非，總之就少講為妙！」

在稍後的三個頒獎禮上，問 Kelly 有沒有信心得到好成績時，她坦言：「不會太有信心，不過我一定會出席的。」有報道因不滿「港台」頒獎禮的成績，鍾珍和其唱片公司事後開會時拍枱鬧人， Kelly 澄清絕對沒有此事，更表示他們事後只有自我檢討。

見到Gigi不會不悅

奪得「內地最受歡迎女歌手」獎的梁詠琪，認為 Kelly 在內地發展的成績也不俗，也是這個獎項的大熱人選。 Kelly 坦言：「是呀，我自己都覺得在內地市場發展得不錯。（因為她得不到這個獎項，有不少歌手也替她感到不值。）我都是一句，少說話，少是非。」遇見 Gigi 時，會否感到不悅呢？ Kelly 大方說，不會的，亦有歌迷傳真到報館投訴，替她大感不值，她無奈地表示：「多謝歌迷的關心。」

就今次頒獎禮的成績， Kelly 事後亦有跟「正東」開會研究，但始終找不著問題的所在，會否跟「港台」作了解？鍾珍謂，「港台」本身也有很大壓力呢！有指自黃柏高離開「正東」後，旗下歌手的成績便變得大不如前，鍾珍相信，主要是歌曲不夠流行。

Getting Married In 2005

While interviewed by Commercial Radio 881 DJ Choi Siu Yan, Kelly had revealed that she would like to get married in 2005. During then, she will be 33 and is of a suitable age for marriage. Kelly mentioned that her initial plan was to get married in 2004 but her work schedule for the year is already full and there will not be time for her to make preparations. Her next year's work schedule includes building of schools in Mainland China and venturing into the China's market. Also, she will be having a concert in HK at the end of 2004.

Kelly had made plans to start a career in the hotel industry and open a 3-4 star hotel. Most important is that the hotel have to feel cosy. However, her father had warned her that such business will make a loss when he knew of her plan.

Meanwhile, Kelly had earlier agreed to attend a radio interview scheduled for yesterday at RTHK but finally did not turn up. This had made people think that she was protesting against the radio station for her poor results on the awards presentation. RTHK's in charge DJ, Chow Kwok Fung, replied that the interview was already planned before the awards presentation. Kelly's absence was because her manager does not want to get any trouble from further clarifications. The interview will be re-scheduled when the matter subsides. Chow also rebutted on Andy Hui's criticisms on the radio station that Hui should have better communication with the people in his record label.

陳慧琳下廚　煮特色聖誕餐

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）準備做 05 年新娘，日前她接受商台查小欣錄音訪問，透露想 2005 年披嫁衣，屆時她已 33 歲了，絕對是適婚年齡。 Kelly 稱原本想 04 年結婚，但明年的工作計劃已排得密麻麻，沒有空檔籌備婚禮。她表示明年要籌備慈善基金在內地建學校，內地市場發展又剛開始，還有 04 年底的演唱會。結婚要排期到 05 年才有機會。

計劃開酒店

Kelly 稱婚後計劃做老闆開酒店，她想開一間三、四星級的酒店，要感覺溫馨的。不過父親知道她有此念頭時已提出警告，指她一定會蝕本。

周國豐 ﹕ Kelly 非無聲抗議

昨日 Kelly 原本答應接受港台《娛樂滿天星》訪問，但最後缺席被指是無聲抗議。在港台頒獎禮中 Kelly 只有一個獎，上台領獎時明顯黑臉，事後亦坦言失望。港台負責人周國豐稱訪問是在頒獎禮前唱片公司約定的，昨日缺席原因是 Kelly 經理人鍾珍不想事件愈描愈黑，待淡化了再安排訪問，並非無聲抗議。周國豐亦繼續還擊許志安因港台頒獎禮捧蛋而對港台的批評，他指安仔與唱片公司之間以後應好好溝通。

Making A Christmas Meal

For this year's Christmas day, Kelly will spend the afternoon with her fans at the autograph session. She feels that being able to spend the festive season with more people will be extremely enjoyable. In the night, she will have a party with her family and she will even cook a Christmas meal for them. As she thinks that making a Christmas Turkey for the meal will be too simple, she has decided to combine Western and Chinese cuisines. She came up with ham wrapped with glutinous rice chicken. Kelly added that she will definitely have to make a dessert. Her specialty is to make jellies and she will do one with 10 layers each in different flavours.

Kelly's most unforgettable Christmas was during the times when she was studying in New York. She had went horse-riding with her classmates for sight-seeing. Seeing the gently falling snow along the way was a memorable experience and she hopes that she will have the chance to go there again.

陳慧琳下廚　煮特色聖誕餐

明日便是平安夜，陳慧琳（ Kelly ）最開心的便是過聖誕，她會在二十五日與歌迷舉行大型簽名會， Kelly 認為在普天同慶的節日與多些人一齊過特別熱鬧。當晚她又會與家人開派對，還會親自下廚煮聖誕大餐給家人享用，她認為火雞太普通，故會中西合璧，弄一味「火腿包糯米雞批」。 Kelly 又謂一定要做甜品，她最拿手是 o者喱，還要弄出十層不同口味及顏色。

Kelly 最難忘的聖誕是當年在紐約讀書畢業時，與同學一起坐馬車四處遊覽，沿路白雪飄飄令她難以忘懷，希望有機會再去。

Disappointed With Award Results

The first HK awards presentation started on Friday night with RTHK announcing its results and Twins emerged the biggest winner of the night. Joey Yung, Gigi Leung and Stefanie Sun managed to bag 3 awards each. On the other hand, Kelly only managed to get 1 award and fellow singer Andy Hui did not even manage to get any. Andy Hui had earlier mentioned to the organisers that he would not be attending the show due to work commitment. After the show, the award winning singers were arranged for an interview at backstage but Kelly was nowhere in sight and it seemed she was silently protesting the results.

While Kelly was at TVB Jade Solid Gold selections last night, she was asked on why she had disappeared so quickly. Kelly had answered that she had stayed throughout the show but was in a hurry and so did not attend the interview. She admitted that she indeed felt disappointed on her results. Kelly had expected that Love Someone could have got an award but was surprised that there was none. However, she is still confident for the other awards presentation. She pitied her fans having to pay almost HK$200 for the tickets to attend the show.

陳慧琳 ﹕ 華仔公認好戲

香港電台《第二十六屆十大中文金曲頒獎典禮》前晚假會展舉行， Twins 勇奪五獎先拔頭籌。容祖兒、梁詠琪及孫燕姿各得三獎；相反，盛裝打扮的陳慧琳（ Kelly ）只得一獎，許志安更慘食白果，安仔臨時以工作為由缺席。頒獎禮完結後，大會安排得獎歌手到後台接受訪問，Kelly 未有出現，似是無聲抗議！

Kelly 及安仔昨晚出席《勁歌金曲第四季季選》， Kelly 被問到前晚為何不做訪問便離開，她說：「我趕住走！（係咪失望？）有少少，我覺得《愛一個人》應該有獎，所以真係有刋愕然！不過我對自己仍然有信心，最慘係 Fans ，畀二百幾蚊買飛，好貴蕂！」

Backing Up Her Co-stars

There were recent reports that Andy Lau and Tony Leung were not seeing eye to eye during the premiere of Infernal Affairs III. Both of them seemed to have treated the opposite party as not being around and they did not talk to each other at all. To this, Leon Lai and Kelly said that they did not believe about the rumours when they were asked in the celebration party for the movie on Wednesday night.

Kelly's comment was that such headlines from magazines are usually untrue. She backed up for them and said that everyone was busy with the interviews by the press and she also did not speak to both of them. Does that mean that she is at loggerheads with them too? As to Andy Lau being unhappy on loosing the Golden Horse award to Tony Leung, Kelly felt that it was impossible. She believed that Andy is a professional actor and would not mind about the lost. He would already be happy to be nominated.

陳慧琳 ﹕ 華仔公認好戲

有報道指劉德華和梁朝偉不和，在電影《無間道 III 終極無間》首映禮後台，彼此視而不見、無偈傾。對此，黎明和陳慧琳（ Kelly ）均不相信。

而 Kelly 則說 ﹕ 「他們點會不和，上得封面的多數都是假的，當晚大家都忙於接受不同傳媒訪問 ﹔ 而我也沒有和偉仔、華仔交談，唔通我們又不和 ﹖ 對於有指華仔在金馬輸了給被指是宿敵的偉仔後感到不悅，更加無可能 ﹗ 華仔公認是好戲之人，何需介懷，入圍已代表好戲，我都想入圍。」

Kelly's Cosmic Queen Image

Kelly's new album Red will be released on 19th December and there will be a total of 4 images. Kelly said that the images are based on outer space and so one of them included is a Cosmic Queen. She had to wear a grand looking crystal cap that weighed several pounds. The weight was a burden to her head because the picture taking took a whole day. However, she was pleased with the effect and she felt it was well-worthed.

Another image shows Kelly in a Bob hairstyle and the makeup was done by herself. She mentioned that the makeup for the rest were done by Zing. As he had left early, Kelly had to do the makeup for the later image. Unexpectedly, it was selected as the picture for the poster. She will later request the makeup expenses from her record company.

The recent merger between Universal Music and Go East will not affect the plan to release Kelly's new album. Kelly has felt that the promotion expenses could even be increased with the addition of television commercials. She added that her hairstyle and makeup are done by her close friends whom she has used since she started her career. Coincidentally, the album's release date falls on the same day as the RTHK awards presentation. She joked that she will bring along her new album to the awards presentation for promotion. She could even appear in the 4 images in the album for the respective awards presentation! However, she would unlikely do that for fear of being jeered by the audience.

Also, Kelly had earlier worked with Sky in a TV ad. The 5 members of Sky were excited to see her and the group's leader, Yani, had picked up courage to present Kelly with their debut album. Kelly was full of praises for the lads for being polite.

陳慧琳化身千年女王上太空

陳慧琳在新碟的四個造型充滿外太空味道，為化身高貴的千年女王，她不惜戴上數磅重的水晶帽拍足一日，雖然十分辛苦，但她還是大呼值得！

陳慧琳（ kelly ）的最新大碟「 Kelly Red 」將於本月十九日推出，封套及照片共有四個造型，感覺如太空人一樣！ Kelly 說：「背景係外太空，所以有個千年女王 Look！呢個長髮戴水晶帽簕造型感覺好華麗！」該水晶帽足足幾磅重，加上駁了長假髮，令 Kelly 的頭部負荷相當重：「拍足一日，頭都痛埋，好辛苦呀！不過效果好靚，辛苦都值得！」

另外一個 Bob 頭造型，原來由 Kelly 親自操刀化妝：「其他造型都係阿 Zing 化，但佢早走，所以呢個由我化，估唔到做冲海報，我會問唱片公司坃番化妝費！」

親自化妝快靚正

此外，唱片公司與環球合併，但沒有影響 Kelly 的唱片宣傳：「宣傳費我諗仲加冲，隻碟會出電視廣告，不過錢我唔理，我又唔使化妝整頭，全部自己𨪛。」記者想起 Kelly 以前有專人化妝及髮型師，她說：「包時我唔要⺊！化妝整髮各一個鐘，我半個鐘搞掂啦！費事坐効度！（有報道話你大使？）我都大使？由新人到依家，我都係用緊我認為最好包兩個人，冇換過，除非佢㳜加價啦！我唔知呀！」對於新碟推出日與港台頒獎禮撞個正幵，她笑言要拿幵新碟出席順便宣傳，還建議在四個頒獎禮以新碟的四個造型亮相：「咁樣一定俾人噓呀！」

另外，她早前與男子組合 Sky 合作拍廣告，五子看見 Kelly 即心跳加速，十分拘謹，後來隊長 Yani 鼓起勇氣送上 CD ，獲師姐大讚有禮貌！

Showing Care In Festive Season

Kelly had spent time yesterday for a Red Cross visit to a handicapped school where she pre-celebrated Christmas with the students there. Besides bringing Christmas presents for the children, Kelly had also shown concern on the education of the students and had frequently encouraged them to work hard.

As Kelly had to work during Christmas, she had to neglect her boyfriend for the time being. However, once she completed her task in the afternoon, she will spend time with her family on Christmas. As to whether she would give presents to her boyfriend, she replied that she was criticised by him for her fanciful gifts. On the other hand, she felt that the ones he gave her are too out-dated. The reporters joked that they indeed make a perfect pair.

Kelly 佳節送愛心

陳慧琳（ Kelly ）昨日到大口環甘迺迪中心探訪就讀特殊學校的學童，並與他們預祝聖誕節， Kelly 除了帶備了小禮物送給學童外，亦十分關心學童的生活，不時向校方詢問學童的學習情況外，更鼓勵他們努力學習。

送禮物被男友彈

由於今個聖誕節 Kelly 要在工作中度過，所以她可說是在佳節冷落男友，不過 Kelly 就笑說：「唔會，我下午先做 o野，晚上就可以同屋企人過啦。」問 Kelly 會否送聖誕禮物給男友時， Kelly 就表示曾經試過買禮物給男友，但卻被男友大彈「 yeah 過龍」不適合他，而男友送給 Kelly 的禮物，又被 Kelly 嫌「薯過龍」，故即場被記者取笑他與男朋友天生一對。

Red-Box Plus Ad

Kelly had earlier filmed an ad for California Red's Red-Box Plus and it will be screened on various TV stations, MTR stations, buses and big outdoor tv screens. The promotion and production costs had amounted to $10 million.

The ad describes Lau Ho Lung and 5 members of Sky trying to please Kelly. They had got ready expensive stereo equipment in the mansion to invite Kelly over to sing karaoke. However, Kelly would rather choose to go to the newly opened karaoke booth. During the ad shoot, Kelly had worn a tube top and mini skirt with peach pink stockings. This made the guys dumb-founded. Lau was even too nervous during the shooting and had to take several NGs to complete.

陳慧琳拍攝RED-BOX PLUS廣告

Kelly 早前為加州紅 RED-BOX PLUS 拍攝廣告，並會在各電視台、地鐵、巴士及各區露天大電視上播放，宣傳及製作費達千萬港元。

有錢闊少大獻殷勤

廣告內容講述劉浩龍及組合 SKY 五子飾演的有錢闊少，為討好 Kelly ，不惜出動豪宅卡拉 OK 、高級音響及大電視陪 Kelly 唱歌，但 Kelly 卻寧願到新開的卡拉 OK 店。拍攝當日 Kelly 以一身 tube top 短裙襯桃紅絲襪示人，令兩位師弟眼睛大吃冰淇淋，結果劉浩龍因太緊張而發呆，要 NG 多次才成功。

Changing On The Airplane

Kelly and Daniel Chan were invited to attend the 5th China-Korea Music Show as representatives of HK. Organised jointly by China's Central Television Station and Korea's KBS, it was considered a major star-studded event.

Unknowingly, Kelly had faced great difficulties to attend the show. She was initially in Changsha and had planned to take an afternoon flight over to Beijing to attend the show in the evening. However, the weather conditions were bad and many flights had to be cancelled. She had to take any other flights that were available and she had to fly over to Nanjing to make a transit to Beijing. As she was in a hurry, she had to change into her stage costume and do her make up on the airplane. When she alighted from the airplane, she had also attracted many peculiar looks at her as many people did not know why she was wearing an evening gown to board a plane! Kelly explained that she felt embarrassed and although she had worn an extra coat over her gown, . When she came out from the airport door, she was even swarmed by fans and caused a minor stir.

During the show, Kelly had sang "Lover's Concerto" and "Why Not Dance". The earlier song is extremely popular in Korea and was used by 6 to 7 ads in Korea. As a majority of the audience were from Korea, Kelly had learnt some simple Korean to greet them. Kelly's singing teacher is a Korean and had taught her the language besides singing. She was finally able to make good use of the language.

陳慧琳趕赴京機艙換晚裝

陳慧琳與陳曉東前晚出席在北京舉行的「第五屆中韓友好歌友會」，該音樂會是由中央電視台及韓國 KBS 國家電視台聯合舉辦，於中韓兩地的電視台播出。中韓兩地對該次活動都十分重視，參與演出的還有內地歌手孫楠等。

原來 Kelly 參加這個活動前也波折重重，因她本來於長沙工作，預計當日搭乘下午四時的飛機到北京，剛好趕及當晚演出。誰知因為當地天氣太差，所以很多航機停飛，迫於無奈，只好有哪班飛機便搭哪班，最後要飛到南京再轉機到北京。由於時間緊湊，她只能在飛機上更換晚裝及化妝，因而落機時惹來四周奇異眼光，人家不明白她何以穿晚裝搭飛機呢！ Kelly 尷尬的說其實當時已特別穿上披肩，但仍十分礙眼，走出機場大門時，歌迷更一擁而上，造成一陣子混亂。

以韓語?盡韓國歌迷

當晚 Kelly 選唱了《 Lover's　Concerto 》和《不如跳舞》兩首歌，前者是韓國的大熱歌曲，有六、七個廣告也以該首歌為主題曲。因為現場有一半觀眾是韓國人，為了令韓國歌迷增加親切感， Kelly 一早已學講幾句韓國話，跟他們打招呼：「你們好，我是陳慧琳，我愛你！」人靚歌甜的她果然逗得一眾韓國歌迷大樂，現場氣氛甚佳。原來 Kelly 的唱歌老師本身就是韓國人，教唱歌之餘當然亦有教她學習韓語以應付需要，如今就真的大派用場了。

Praises For Her Acting Skills

Infernal Affairs 3 had earlier held its premiere in Beijing, and being the only main female cast, Kelly was initially the centre of attraction. Unexpectedly, Carina Lau, who was a guest star in the movie, was also invited on stage and had stolen the limelight from Kelly. There were later reports that this made Kelly unhappy.

While attending the special preview session on Friday night, Kelly had denied the reports. She explained that Carina had accompanied Tony to the premiere. As it was her birthday, the organisers had invited her on stage. Carina was also surprised by the invitation. Kelly had stressed that she was not unhappy about this and she had already knew that Carina would be present. Meanwhile, during the HK premiere, Carina had chose to be in low profile and did not go on stage. Kelly was asked if Carina had done so to prevent stealing the limelight from her again? Kelly had probably misunderstood the question and again stressed that it was because of Carina's birthday that was why she was invited up on stage.

Having the opportunity to work with the 6 award winning actors, Kelly had spent $200 000 to engage an acting teacher so as to brush up on her acting skills. Her money was well spent in that her acting skills in the movie were highly praised. However, what made Kelly most happy was that Anthony Wong had personally suggested that Kelly should have taken classes from him as he will only charge half the price! As the role for Kelly's next movie is a calm-headed and smart woman (much similar to Anthony Wong's role as SP Wong in Infernal Affairs), learning from Anthony himself will definitely benefit Kelly in her acting.

For the HK premiere of Infernal Affairs 3, Kelly's family members were present to give her support. What comments did they have for her? Kelly laughed that her father likes her crying scene. Her father did not feel embarrass about the kissing scene she had with Tony because he is open-minded. As for her boyfriend, Alex, Kelly had expressed that she had given movie vouchers to him to watch with his friends.

陳慧琳禁男友睇激咀戲

《無間道 Ⅲ 終極無間》早前在北京人民大會堂舉行首映禮，置身全男班中的唯一女角陳慧琳，本是萬綠叢中一點紅；怎料卻突然出現一個不速之客，就是有份客串的劉嘉玲應邀上台，即時將 Kelly 風頭比了下去，令她感到不悅。

但 Kelly 前晚出席該片優先場時，矢口否認上述事件，並聲稱因為當晚是嘉玲姐生日，原先她只是陪梁朝偉出席，因此大會邀她上台慶祝生日，她亦感到很愕然。 Kelly 強調沒有為此不開心，且表示早已知道嘉玲姐會到現場。說到嘉玲日前出席該片在港的首映禮時，卻非常低調，沒有上台，未知是否刻意避搶 Kelly 鏡頭才這樣做呢？ Kelly 似乎誤會記者意思，一再強調北京的首映，嘉玲是因生日才上台。

Kelly 是次同六大影帝合作，為免在他們面前演技相差太遠，特地聘了私人導師教演戲，前後花了二十萬，結果其演出獲得一致讚賞。不過，她最開心還是因為黃秋生主動提出任其導師，更打趣說只收一萬元學費；由於她下一部電影的角色是演女強人，頭腦相當清醒亦非常聰明，跟《無間道》中黃秋生所演的黃 Sir 相似，因此秋生親自傳授演戲秘笈，定必令她獲益良多。另外，日前該片首映， Kelly 全家出席捧場，可知家人有何評語？她笑言爸爸最喜歡她痛哭的那一幕，而她同「偉仔」的激吻戲，他看了亦不覺尷尬，可見其父是個前衛的人。至於男友 Alex ， Kelly 表示會送他贈券約朋友看戲。

No Invitation For Her Boyfriend

Kelly, who is the only female lead in Infernal Affairs 3, had worn a black top revealing her shoulders with a see through dress that was extremely elegant for Tuesday's night premiere for the movie. She had mentioned that she had rushed back from Beijing and had immediately got dressed up to attend the premiere. In the movie, she has a kissing scene with her co-star, Tony Leung. She has yet to watch the movie but is feeling very anxious about it. Even her family members had came to support her. However, she has not invited her boyfriend for the premiere. Would she accompany him to watch later? No, Kelly was afraid to be embarrassed.

陳慧琳禁男友睇激咀戲

片中唯一女主角陳慧琳，前晚以全黑色一字膊透視長裙到場，打扮高貴，她說：「我彻彻効北京返𨪛，落機即刻趕去打扮喇！」在片中她與偉仔有場激咀戲，她說：「其實我都未睇過，但今次真係好緊張，屋企人都專登𨪛捧場，不過就冇叫男朋友𨪛睇，（遲刋同佢睇正場？）唔會啦！我怕尷尬。」

Kelly's First Appearance In Swimming Suit?!

Kelly will finally make her first appearance in a swimming suit! However, the one wearing it will be only her cartoon character and it was specially designed to satisfy those who longed to see her in swimming suit.

In end of December, the comics Kelly International School will be released as a Christmas present to her fans. Kelly had participated actively in the production of the comics including the content, drawing and image design. The swimming suit look was designed by her because she is afraid to wear it herself.

From her manager, Kelly had known that she emerged the winner of a poll to be the most anticipated celebrity to appear in a swimming suit. However, she felt that wearing that is too sexy and has decided to come up with the cartoon image.

The comics had earlier been published in the "English Street" (an institutions' papers). As Kelly wanted more people to have the chance to read the comics, they will be released on book. In addition, she hopes that it will help to improve the English level of younger generations and all proceedings will go to her educational fund for charity use.

陳慧琳泳裝「漫畫」曝光

陳慧琳的「泳衣照」終於公諸於世，大家有眼福了 ﹗ 不過穿上泳衣的只是 Kelly 的漫畫公仔，特別設計來讓渴望見她泳衣照的 Fans 望梅止喝 ﹗

參與設計造型

Kelly 將於 12 月底推出以英語教學為主題的漫畫書《 Kelly International School 》，作為對 Fans 的聖誕禮物。籌備過程中， Kelly 由內容、構圖至造型設計積極參與，其中泳衣造型是她構思出來，因怕自己穿上泳衣示人。

Kelly 說曾聽經理人鍾小姐說，有個選舉她成為「最想看泳裝的藝人」。她開心之餘，覺得穿泳衣見人太性感，但又想讓大家看，所以便構思這個泳裝造型，不知大家是否感到得意呢 ﹗

收益撥捐作慈善

其實漫畫部分早於半年前，在校園英語學習報《英語街》刊載。她希望更多人看到便推出漫畫書，期望為下一代英語水平出一點力，收益會撥捐「陳慧琳兒童助學基金」作慈善用途。

DIY Outfit

Kelly had attended the Asia Game Show 2003 opening ceremony yesterday afternoon. Her special futuristic looking outfit that she worn was a DIY by herself. She explained that the suit was initially much more sexy but she had made some alterations so as not to reveal too much.

She carried on saying that her new song Alone will be used as the theme song for this year's Game Show. In the MV, she will have two images. One of them is a queen and another that of a car racer. As the outfit for the two images are tight fitting, she did not drink water to reduce the trouble of going to the toilet. Fortunately she only had to bear for 4 hours for the filming process and

As Kelly does not have a driving licence, a trailer had to be used to pull her car for the car cruising scene. Although the ride was fun, Kelly does not long to have a driving licence because she admitted that she has bad directional sense and gets lost easily. However, she does wish to own a caravan, especially one that has a toilet.

For her upcoming release, the 3CD compilation will be sold for the price of one. This was intended to encourage people to pay for original copies. As for the year end awards, she had expressed that she should be able to attend the RTHK and Metro Radio awards presentations. As she need to go overseas for performances, she might miss the Commercial Radio awards presentation on New Year's Day.

Kelly 自製貼身服裝

陳慧琳昨日為《亞洲遊戲展 2003 》進行揭幕儀式，身穿一件貼身裝的 Kelly （陳慧琳），原來是自己 DIY 的，並露出小蠻腰，但她表示原本更加性感，她已經略為修改，因為覺得自己少少性感已足夠。

拍 MV 不敢飲水

她透露今次做遊戲展大使，並為自己新歌《伶仃》拍 MV 作為大會主題曲。 MV 中她有兩個造型，一個是千年女后，另一則是女賽車手，同樣都是非常貼身的服裝，所以為免去廁所麻煩，連水都不敢飲，幸好只忍了 4 小時便拍完，自己就當焗汗減肥。

由於 Kelly 沒有車牌，所以拍攝時要由拖車拖住她坐的跑車在鬧市飛馳，她覺得很好玩，原來她重未想過有車牌，因自知實行錯路，所以為免累人寧願不揸車。但她都希望有架如流動旅行車般的汽車代步，最緊要有廁所，可減去不便。

新碟賣大包

同時她透露稍後會推出一張新歌加精選專輯，更是 3CD 單碟價賣大包，因為想多些消費者願出錢買正版，所以有此優惠。她更表示今年的頒獎禮中，預計港台與新城頒獎禮都可以出席，但元旦的商台頒獎禮，則可能因要登台未能出席。
