Kevin Tsai hints at possible reconciliation between Lin Chi-ling and Jerry Yan

The Taiwanese host wrote lyrics for his good friend, encouraging her to find love Taiwanese model Lin Chi-Ling previously confessed that she is in love, and that the person is "humorous and filial". When her good friend, host Kevin Tsai was asked if he knew Chi-ling and her former lover Jerry had reconciled with each other, the host expressed that he had no idea. "Time will change a person. If you were in love before, after a few years, you'd still care for the other party. Maybe this person will give her a different feeling [now]," Kevin said. The host recently penned the lyrics to the theme song for Chi-ling's new movie Love on Credit. "You taught me so much, [I] realise how wrong I was then; [you] taught me to trust and gave me a shoulder to lean on; [you] taught me to be firm in my quirky fantasies," the lyrics went. Kevin emphasised, "I hope the lyrics will help Chi-ling make a decision to capture her happiness," and enco

Lin Chiling back together with Jerry Yan?

Hong Kong: Taiwan supermodel Lin Chiling admitted in a recent interview with Hong Kong media that she is dating someone but refused to divulge the identity of her beau. Lin also stressed that she has no plans for marriage though she yearned for romance in her life. "I haven't thought about getting married but I have thought about romance, I am certain I want love," said Lin. The 36-year-old model-actress added that she is not interested in marrying into a wealthy family, and adored men who are humourous. Lin further added that she did rule out dating an ex-boyfriend. "I feel that when two people break up, it isn't necessarily a bad thing, it might be because the timing was not right. "But people change as time goes by their attitudes may change. How they [former lovers] continue on together depends on whether they can understand each other's past mistakes and start over," said Lin. The "Red Cliff" star's words have sparke

Lin Chi-Ling may reconcile with Jerry Yan

The Taiwanese model confessed that she has someone she likes It looks like all is not over between Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling and actor Jerry Yan. In Chi-ling's latest movie Love on Credit, the model-turned-actress portrayed two different characters perfectly. In the show, her character was torn between the two male leads. In real life, Chi-ling's relationships with actor Jerry Yan and businessman Qiu Shikai have been the focus of media attention. When asked about her relationship with the two men, Chi-ling laughed, "This question had been asked so many times before, I'm sure no one wants to hear about it anymore." Out of the blue, the actress, who never discussed her love life publicly, said, "There is someone I like already." However, Chi-ling kept tight-lipped, when the reporters probed the guy's identity, because she was worried that "[the media] might blow it out of proportion." She also emphasised that she had no plan

The model only smiled at the mention of the millionaire businessman and did not make any further comment Despite being labeled as just another "pretty face" in showbiz, 36-year-old Lin Chi-Ling is making a slow but steady breakthrough in the international market, with endless movie deals, Japanese drama series roles, musicals, and even commercials rolling in. With a smooth-sailing career, all seems quiet in her romantic life except for the rumours on her romantic involvement with businessman Scott Qiu and actor Jerry Yan. At 10am yesterday, Chi-Ling was spotted doing a commercial shoot in front of Miramar Garden Taipei. This shoot is said to be for a China real estate commercial, with an estimated payout of more than NT$ 1million (S$42,540). During the shoot, Chi-Ling managed to finish all of her scenes with a maximum of three takes each, breaking her previous image of just being a "flower vase". When a reporter walked up to approach her during her break

Lin Chi-ling to perform in Japanese musical

The Taiwanese model reprises her role as Xiao Qiao from ‘The Red Cliff’ It looks like Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling has "married" her job after all. Last year, Chi-ling broke into Japanese showbiz after making her debut on television with Japanese heartthrob Takuya Kimura in Moon Lovers. Sealing the deal yesterday, Chi-ling will set off for Tokyo in August to reprise her role as Xiao Qiao in the Japanese musical remake of The Red Cliff. She will be performing alongside Akira -- from Japanese boyband EXILE -- who will be playing Eastern Wu commander Zhou Yu. The model admitted that she felt stressed out as musicals required one to think on the spot. At present, Chi-ling hopes to start her Japanese and stage-acting lessons soon. She only has 45 days before the opening night of the musical. "Thanks for all your support. I really enjoy taking on different challenges. I hope I could turn my nervous energy into performing energy," Chi-ling said. When asked if s

Singer Jay Chou (R) and actress Lin Chiling perform during a rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala Evening at China Central Television (CCTV) in Beijing, capital of China, Jan. 31, 2011. The first Spring Festival Gala Evening of CCTV was held in 1983. Enjoying the family reunion dinner on Lunar New Year's Eve and watching the annual Spring Festival Gala Evening of CCTV have become a convention for Chinese people. The gala evening paves way to fame for many ordinary actors across the country and makes some phrases popular. With the development of the annual evening, the advertising revenue increases year by year. However, audience rating of the gala evening declines due to more and more critical taste of audience. For people living in southern part of the country, the gala evening having relatively more northern features does not meet their demands commendably. Some southern TV stations plans to broadcast their own programs rather than rebroadcasting the Spring Festival Gala Eveni

Lin Chiling denies claims that she will marry this year

TAIPEI: Taiwan supermodel Lin Chiling has denied that she will wed this year, despite her mother's claims that there would be wedding bells before the year is out, reported Taiwan media. "Mum says it will be 'this year' every year. Give me some more time," said Lin during a charity luncheon with tennis legend Andre Agassi in Taipei. "I am trying very hard to let love happen." When asked if she would stop her mother from speaking further about her love life, Lin said she could not. "I don't have the right. Her intentions are good but from now on, just ask me if there are any [queries]. Ask me, ask me," said Lin, who was swarmed by reporters after the event. The 36-year-old also took the opportunity to sooth tensions between her ex-lover Jerry Yan's fans and her mother.

Jerry Yan blamed for impeding Lin Chi-Ling’s marriage

The model’s mother is unhappy with the actor for tearing up when he spoke of Chi-ling A few days ago, Taiwanese model Lin Chi-Ling was rumoured to be marrying businessman Qiu Shi Kai this year. The model's mother denied the rumour, saying that "the year is still very long ahead" and expressed that while youngsters feel that having a career is important, marriage is just as significant. She felt it was high time Chi-ling put more thoughts into her marriage. "The other party (Qiu Shi Kai) is currently very busy with his career. Getting married would put a hold to his work. I've spoken to Chi-ling. Work might be important, but one has to prepare in advance. You can't stop work as and when you like. One should make plans," said Chi-ling's mother when asked if the Qiu family were pressing for marriage. On Chi-ling's ex-boyfriend Jerry Yan, who cried when speaking of Chi-ling, the model's mother hoped that he would stop creating news fodder
