Edison Chen Post Sex Scandal Conference

Finally, Edison Chen who changed his hair colour to blonde managed to fool everyone and he was back in Hong Kong today for a Post Sex Scandal Conference after a few weeks in USA…..I am too tired to write out the transcript for you, so here’s a bit of what he said:

“I am deeply sorry,” Chen told more than 300 journalists at a press conference in Hong Kong today. “I admit most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me. I would like to apologize to all the ladies and their families.”

Hundreds of photos published online and in newspapers led to debate about Hong Kong pornography laws and a public apology from a female pop star. The pictures were posted on the Web after about 1,300 photo files were stolen from a computer sent to a repair shop, police said.

The sex-photo scandal involved at least six Hong Kong actresses, singers and models. Chen, a 27-year-old Canadian-born Chinese actor and singer famous in Hong Kong, returned to the city today to explain the incident after pictures started appearing from Jan. 28.

Photographs featuring Chen with different women in various sexual positions have spread through blogs, e-mails and chat rooms. Chen starred in Hong Kong film “Infernal Affairs,” remade as Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winner “The Departed.”

`Very Private’

“These photos were very private,” Chen said. “They were never intended to be shown to anyone. They were stolen from me and distributed without my consent.”

Hong Kong pop star and actress Gillian Chung earlier this month apologized to fans for the impact caused by the scandal, without confirming or denying she was the woman in some of the photos. Chung, 27, in pop group “Twins,” said she’ll keep working.

Hong Kong police arrested a man in connection with the case, and later released him, dropping charges. As many as nine other arrests have been made, according to police.

Chen instructed his lawyer to protect the women in the pictures by claiming copyright. The downloading, storing and copying of each infringe copyright law, Chen’s solicitors, Woo Kwan Lee and Lo, said in a statement today.

He’s a better actor than Gillian Chung. Gillian did not seem disturbed during her conference and even smiled. Ha. Edison looks really sad and he’s a very actor. He said he will quit from HK entertainment industry indefinitely coz……..he wants to go Hollywood to be a Pxxx star…(duh). Bet you he can make more $$$ than Jenna Jameson. They might even do a Bluray DVD too ? That will be a sell-out! Kudos. In his video, he asked for forgiveness? How about you ?
