Edison Chen / Gillian Chung sex scandal

Update: Apparently, this is huge news in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan because these people are major stars there. Earlier, the foreign papers reported these as fake, even showing how they could be photoshopped, but after all these new pictures came out, they’ve relented somewhat.

My knowledge of celebrity doesn’t extend too far beyond English speaking countries, so I don’t know much about it. Just that, now, more pictures have come out of these girls and include one more girl, Cecilia Cheung and… CHRIST ALMIGHTY, IS THAT THING ALIVE DOWN THERE? Kill it! Kill it!

Trivia: Edison was in Infernal Affairs which was subsequently remade by Martin Scorsese into The Departed.

Edison Chen stars in the Grudge 2 and possibly The Dark Knight and will be in the upcoming Hayden Christensen movie Jumper. And he’s also in these nude photos with two girls that go by the names Gillian Chung (vaj shot) and Bobo Chan (??). I figure some of you know who they are. I have no idea. I just want to say to the ladies letting their partners take pictures of them in a state of undress, please, for the love of god, wax or at the very least trim. Every time I see these sex scandal pictures I always feel like I need a safari hat and machete just to make it through all of them. By the way, the pictures are NSFW. A lot more after the jump.

Updates will appear on the main page from now on. Go here for that.

Labyrinth translated an earlier comment from Hade. It sounds far-fetched, but it’s a fun piece if you’re into conspiracy theories.

Latest News!
Kira received 7 million HK dollars, disappears forever.
Beijing, Feb 12, 2008

The curtain has dropped: According to friends in HK, all the photos we have seen thus far were screen captures from videos. Gill’s photos were the first 10 minutes of the video, why? Because it was a used as a bargaining chip for extortion. Secondly, the audio of the video involves the reputation of many other big-name celebrities.
Gaoqing (who?) has over 1000 photos alone, and they were partially released last year. The first time Edison’s photo got released was the result of a hacker. This hacker has the most complete data. In order to protect himself from hackers and trojans, he transferred part of his data to his Apple computer. Apple does not run Windows, and most trojan are designed towards windows. The photos that were stolen during his computer repair is only a small part, and that is to the person we come to know as Kira. Photos of Vincy Yeung released on the 9th was unexpected from EEG Music. As we know, Edison’s photo all came in a set, and every women has a complete collection including the sexual parts. Usually they are released in few numbers first, then released in completion. So Vincy has a complete collection too.

Kira’s upload on the 9th, 4:45 is the last upload from Kira. He had an agreement with EEG in the amount of 700 hk dollars. Why did Gill’s manager said Gill would appear on the 11th? Because they have came to an agreement with Kira. After the money is received he needs 24 hours to confirm payment, also time for him to flee. As a matter of fact, the photos he has have already been uploaded to various free servers in the United States and Europe. If the discussion does not fall into place or if anything were to happen to him, he has set automatic emails that would email the links to his trustworthy friends, so they can spread the files. The reason Gill appears in front of the media on the 11th, and the fact that she had a big smile on her face, was because she knew the ordeal has came to a rest.

What’s Kira’s gain for showing us the photos? What does he get by destroying the life of these celebrities? He is not a warrior of morals, he’s just a regular Hong Kong citizen. Money is his ultimate choice. So everyone, please stop calling for him, he has disappears forever. From tomorrow, there’s a lot more entertainers going to entertain us, and the danger is over. It is disappointed for us, but we all know the reason behind Kira’s action.

Gossip
The photos actually were stolen a long time ago. At first Kira talked to Edison, asking for 5 million HK dollars, but was not agreed upon. Edison was afraid he won’t be able to get back all the photos. He looked for Yeung Shou Cheng (EEG’s president) to help him on the matter. Eventually, Kira released some information to the media, the magazines last year briefly mentioned this matter. However because of EEG’s influential power, magazines were afraid to show the photos nor pay Kira. Through the help of magazine’s editor, one of the three members from Kira’s group was found. He knew whether he surrender the photos or not, he was doomed. He did not say anything while being question, and was eventually killed. The other two then fled to Southeast Asia, and again try to distort EEG and Edison. Befor the matter gains public attention Edison already knew, because both parties could not agree on a price, this time Kira was asking more than 10 millions. Edison took a private car to Shenzhen, then to Macau, took a private plane from his dad’s friend to the United States, and look for Vincy Yeung to help his cause. Yeung Shou Cheng thought he could handle the matter, but eventually it was still not solved. Kira has decided to raise the price, and released the photos the night when Edison fled HK. Since that day Kira has been raising his price every day. It is believed Kira is in Thailand and Indonesia, and Kira is a group of two, and the data has been uploaded to the United States.

Do not think you have seen the best of all, why hasn’t C10’s and Maggie Q’s photo being released? Because Kira hasn’t gotten the right price, or because of safety reason, there isn’t a safe way for him to get paid.

Right now, both parties are fighting. The involvement of HK police has propelled this tension to its maximum. If Kira is sure he couldn’t get his money, there’s gonna be a monster upload, but not all. The reason is because there’s heavy involvement from other celebrities, including HK, China and Taiwan. If Kira wants to live longer than Edison, he would have to have something to protect himself from.

It is obvious what is going to happen to Edison, he’s going to die unnaturally.

Vincy’s 3 photos was a declaration of power to EEG, showing Kira has even better materials. This action forced EEG to come to the table, leaving the police behind. Bobo’s photos that were uploaded today were no longer of importance, since she was only a sacrifice in this whole matter. However, Vincy, C10 and Maggie Q, definitely will not be released today. Because this is Kira’s ultimate chip. And the most controversial material in Kira’s collection? I dare not say, because I don’t want to die before Edison does.

Trust my information and do not ask me where the information is from. Use your head to decide whether this is true.

02/11/08

RC found some more info. Many of you may be interested in this post saying Kira will release 3 videos at 3 A.M. I’m still looking for a better translation. Thanks to Sean for the translation.

Today is the day when Gill will meet the fans for the first time after the scandal. I wanted to release her vid at the same time. However, due to a certain reason, I was not able to. Now I decide to release 3 vids at 3:00 am. The content are 1. the original video of the pre-released photos, and 2. some new materials that haven’t been shown in the photos before.

Be Patient!!!!!!

PS: Stop arresting the scapegoats. If you’re capable enough, come get me!

02/10/08 Part 1

All Edison Chen ads for Manhattan Titanium credit card company have been pulled as a result of the scandal. It is believed this scandal may cause Edison $10 million HK ($1.3 million US) in endorsements.

Gillian Chung will make her first public appearance since this started. She is expected to attend the annual Twin’s event with bandmate Charlene Choi to mark the Chinese New Year. Gillian will have a prepared statement and will not be taking questions regarding the photos from the press.

Cecilia Cheung’s marriage may be on the rocks. More pictures of her were released yesterday suggesting she was with both Edison and her current husband, Nicholas Tse, at the same time.

02/10/08 Part 2

According to CoolSmurf, a forum post on the Tianya.cn forums claims the video everyone has been waiting for will be posted when Gillian makes her first public appearance today.

Thank you everyone for your support. 1) I am not using the photos/videos to extort money and this is to rebuke earlier reports that I am extorting money for this. 2) What Jackie Chan said today in an interview made me very unhappy. He even goes on to say that Jackie is somewhat implicated in the video (?) It’s believed that he is responding to Jackie Chan’s plea to netizens not to care about the photos but show care for those affected by the snowstorms instead. 3) He ends by saying that video will be released the moment Gillian appears in public later this afternoon.

Jackie Chan may also be involved as he is rumored to be talking or talked to on the sex tape.

02/09/08

New sets of Bobo Chan were released today in various poses. Thanks to everyone who gave links. [M | R]

02/08/08 Part 1

The highly anticipated release of three videos and 600+ pictures by the man called “Kira” yesterday did not happen as everyone had hoped. It is possible he was out celebrating the Chinese New Year and now has a raging hangover. Meanwhile, CNN picked up the story.

The unidentified women in the pictures has been identified as Mandy Chen Yu Ju whom Edison met at a 2001 beauty pageant he performed at.

02/08/08 Part 2

Random Citations reports that Edison Chen’s sex tape with Maggie Q has been leaked and was quickly pulled off an HK forum. The video allegedly showed Edison Chen performing a sexual act (?) on top of Maggie Q who is lying on her stomach. So, the tape is out there, but not widespread as of yet.

02/08/08 Part 3

Jolin Tsai? Anyone want to confirm this? Right now, people are 99% sure this is not Jolin. Took them off to avoid confusion. Those are not of Jolin Tsai.

02/08/08 Part 4

Around four brand new sets of Gillian and Cecilia have been released. The download is from megaupload and they are highly tagged with a URL. I’m still trying to find the untagged versions, so if you come across them, let me know. Big thanks to Mr. X in the comments. Enjoy the untagged versions. with a URL. I’m still trying to find the untagged versions, so if you come across them, let me know. Big thanks to Mr. X in the comments. [Mega | Rapid | Zshare] (Vincy is 18 now, but no one knows when the pictures were taken even though the age of consent in HK is 16. Her uncle is Edison’s ex-boss and has gang affiliations. I guess that means Edison is in trouble. Thanks John!)

I’ll put up the ones with Vincy only when her age is confirmed. Age of consent is 16 in Hong Kong, but I’m in the US.

02/06/08 Part 1

A lot more pictures have been released. Around 60 new ones. That’s too many to post, but thanks to “Larry” all of them can be downloaded.

02/06/08 Part 2

The mysterious man Kira promises videos and more pictures.

02/06/08 Part 3

An uncategorized zip file of the latest Edison pictures have surfaced. What sexy man could have leaked this? In it is the “teaser” cellphone video Kira sent out. As a result of what has happened, Edison has been dropped from his upcoming movie, Jump, and Bobo Chan’s wedding has been called off. The unknown woman in the pictures is thought to be Yu Chiu, a Japanese porn star. This scandal is currently the cover story of almost every gossip rag in Hong Kong.

P.S. If you are asking people to “please e-mail you the video,” there’s a 95% chance you won’t get it. However, there is a 100% chance you will be spammed into oblivion. Therefore, if you’re curious about how to make your schlong larger, then by all means, continue what you’re doing.

A Hong Kong man has been arrested in connection with the distribution of these photos.

Rumor is these photos were taken from Edison’s phone when he sent it along with his laptop to be repaired.
