Edison has found religion

Edison Chen, the bad boy of the recent sex photo scandal, prayed every day after the scandal broke out but he did not become a Christian because of it.

Recent reports had said that Chen, who quit Hong Kong showbiz and went to the United States just before the scandal blew over, had adopted Christianity in repentance over the scandal. He was said to have befriended a Californian pastor.

But his elder sister Tricia, a singer, said Chen had converted when he attended a Christian school in his youth. (story)

Maggie Q linked to Edison Chen sex scandal

Wow! More and more dirt keeps coming out. I guess HK’s little hollywood isn’t so clean after all. Way too much is being made of this, I mean, come on! They are people too! They have sex and make home sex videos too, just like you and me. I think the we’ve just thrown them up on a pedestal because they are movie stars and we secretly enjoy tearing them down to our level. Kinda sad really, not them, us.

Edison Chen Maggie Q sex video

Excellent source for more information for your perverted minds Hollywood Grind

“Yet more female celebrities have been sucked into the scandal with some of the latest pictures released. Here’s one of the very exotic looking Maggie Q (李美琪). Apparently though, this was just a promotional picture for Edison Chen’s clothing line and may have nothing to do with his sexcapades. Really, there’s nothing too scandalous about the pic anyway. Nevertheless, a sex tape involving Edison Chen and Maggie Q is said to be circulating in Hong Kong

A series of pictures containing a woman bearing a striking resemblance to Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai (蔡依林) in lingerie is also making the rounds. However, internet sleuths have worked out that this is not Jolin Tsai but one of her wannabes. She also does not have a tattoo on her left arm like Jolin does” (link)
