Gillian's manager, Mani Fok (霍汶希), revealed that Gillian is in better condition and is using her energy for work.

Please tell me that's not her manager's name.

Well looks like Mr. Chen will get his revenge after all, and have something to do in between all the community work and charity events.

It's funny, when I was yakking about this with some friends about two weeks ago, the possibility of copyrighting the photos actually came up, so it must have been a very logical choice for Chen's legal team too!

When I click on this, it takes me to a story about a guy letting a dog hump a little girl. Irony? Perhaps [007] is the correct piece?

Yeah, that's the one. The dog/girl video is pretty disturbing, too.
