Gillian Chung banned from Beijing Olympics 2008
Gillian Chung, who was recently involved in the Edison Chen's nude scandal photos, was axed from singing at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. Here is the citation from the Sydney Morning Herald:
A female Hong Kong pop star at the centre of a sex photos scandal has been banned from singing at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, a news report said today.The ceremony’s artistic director Zhang Yimou decided to take Chung off the bill after the scandal broke and had replaced her and another Hong Kong star not involved in the photos incident with Chinese pop act A-One, the newspaper said.
More than 2000 people complained when Chung appeared on a charity TV show at the height of the scandal a fortnight ago and she was forced to scrap a public appearance last Saturday when protesters threatened to disrupt her performance.The scandal over the pictures has tainted the saccharine-sweet image of Hong Kong’s so-called Canto-pop industry whose cheesy romantic melodies sung in Cantonese sell by their millions in Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan.
I wonder if there are any further consequences from this scandal in the near future again.

Che-cheh: I kesian her at times but I do agree that's the consequences of trying to portray a good image all the time.
Neo: She is a 'naughty' girl :p

I think possible that twin needs to break..

keeyit: I think so too! Perhaps it's time for Charlene Choi to go solo

there is nothing wrong taking picture of your private time. not everyone is perfect but this is absurd to have gillian banned from many things. those photos were never meant to go out and it's not her fault.
