Lau and wife make pact to thwart media
HONG Kong superstar Andy Lau has barred his Malaysian wife Carol Chu from going out, Sin Chew Daily reported.
The daily reported that an agreement was reached between the couple in the hope that media attention on their marriage would be played down.
Lau also recently made up to Chu by booking a whole cinema to watch the Michael Jackson film This Is It in Hong Kong.
The cinema’s staff were stationed outside the building to ensure that the couple enjoyed the show without being disturbed.
Lau’s parents and 10 of his assistants also watched the film with the couple.
It costs about RM2,000 to book the cinema, which has seats with a massage function, the report said.
After learning that reporters had gathered outside the cinema, the couple left by the backdoor which led to the car park.
> China Press reported that a 27-year-old married man from Johor had denied an allegation he had affairs with more than 10 women.
The man, known only as Hwang, refuted the claim by his ex-mistress, who had sought help from Johor MCA.
In an earlier report, the former mistress claimed Hwang and her had a three-month-old boy, and said she disclosed her plight in the media so that no other woman would fall into his trap.
Hwang admitted that he had an affair with the woman but regretted it after he realised how much his wife had sacrificed for him.
He claimed he had stopped their relationship in February and his wife had forgiven him.
