Lately there've been many rumours about Aaron & Lucy. I mentioned her before in one of my short news translations: she was the female leader in the "Absolutely Beautiful" MTV. She's a mix of Russian and Taiwanese blood, 19 years old (almost 20). Aaron once described her as: "She speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese, so she could communicate with everybody. Absolutely Beautiful really suits her".

Aaron has caught a glimpse of his 'fun thai shui' this year (this year's Chinese Zodiac sign brings bad luck to people born in the year of the snake, according to Chinese traditions). He was absent at the celebration dinner of the "Top Ten Golden Songs Awards" (remember that I posted he was ill), but he was spot driving his BMW in circles in Happy Valley (where he lives) with a sad face behind his drive. Secondly, Aaron has been in a rumour involving Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccor), saying they are in a battle for Lucy Leston.

Aaron and Lucy have cooperated 4 times: commercial for Metersbonwe, MTVs of "Absolutely Beautiful" and "Eating You Up", and she was one of his dancers in his Charity concert. It seems that Aaron wants to take a chance to approach her.

Siu May reacted: "I can only say that the people who've brought this story up really suit to become scenario writers, I only have a few words for them: 'they know nothing (in other words: bullshitting), absolutely ridiculous! We went with a team of 20 people, how can they have a secret meeting?! Don't take advantage of the fact that we're not in HK right now, and start making all those rumours! We invited 3 girls for this trip, Lucy is only one of them". Siu May emphasized that it was NOT Aaron's special request to use Lucy 4 times, as the papers said. She said it was a proposal of the director, choreographer and commercial company. 

Will you use Lucy in the future? Siu May honestly replied: "Whatever I do, I do it openly and frankly, if I dare to do it, I dare to admit it. I think this rumour should be ended at this moment. I won't use or ask Lucy anymore in the near future, we won't cooperate".

In a phonecall with Aaron, he replied, with a voice indicating he caught a heavy cold: "Sigh... Actually this trip to Thailand should be very comfortable, silent and I could focus on my job. Who could've thought there would rise so many rumours suddenly?! I've been in the entertainment circle for so many years now, actually already 'immune for any kind of poison', but I really don't want to be accused!"

In a questionnaire about his absence at the celebration dinner, driving around Happy Vally, Aaron said: "I even feel more innocent in this accusion! I felt very sick that night, so I just drove to see the doctor and pick up my medicins ahead, because I had to fly to Thailand very early the next day! I am a lot better now".
