Lynn Xiong Left Aside While Aaron Kwok Celebrated His Birthday

Aarok Kwok, one of Hong Kong's four heavenly king, celebrated his 43rd birthday yesterday eating steamboat with his pal, fellow actor Julian Cheung, instead of his rumoured girlfriend, Lynn Xiong.Aaron Kwok had initially planned to play cue with Julian Cheung (above pic) on the midnight of 26 October. But he had to cancel his plan after he ended his 15-hr of filming around 2am. And he went to his favourite steamboat at Wan Chai yesterday evening with Julian Cheng arriving later.Reporters who camped outside Aaron Kwok's apartment, hoping to catch Lynn Xiong visiting him during Aaron's birthday were left disappointed as Lynn Xiong went for shopping in Causeway Bay instead. She was in the limelight when she spent nights with Aaron Kwok on her birthday earlier this month.

Lynn was still in a terribly good mood despite not being seen celebrating Aaron Kwok's birthday under the media glare. Perhaps with passers-by calling her "Mrs Aaron Kwok" or "Aaron's girfriend" says it all.

Jessica Biel in MARIE CLAIRE December 2008

Jessica Biel is the cover girl of Marie Claire's December Christmas Special issue. She is currently dating Justin Timberlake. Below is an excerpt of her interview with the magazine :On marriage and having kids: “I kind of go back and fourth about marriage and kids. I feel like if it’s an organic way for me and the right time in my life then yeh. If it’s right, it’ll be right - but at this moment, that seems totally foreign.”On becoming a movie star: “I never thought to myself, ‘I’m going to do this musical, then I’m going to be a movie star.’ I never made that jump. For a very long time I wasn’t thought of as anyone with any credibility in the film world. Everyone is tramping through the swamp everyday in this business.”On working in TV: “I was really up tight, when you work on television for a long time you’re in a really organised situation; in film, it’s so much more improvisational and relaxed.”On how she feels about aging: “I don’t know - I better start figuring it out. I feel my knees changing - like, why do I have this pain when I’m running on the treadmill? What’s going on with my lower back when I wake up in the morning? I just feel changes. I’m definitely fearful in a very vain manner about aging. I think its freaky weird to look at a picture of your grandmother when she was a young woman then look at her now.”
On plastic surgery: “I’m really afraid of blades on my face. That freaks me out beyond belief. I would way rather have wrinkles than some slice up going on.”
