Edison Chen Sex Photos... (+ updates)

Scroll down to the bottom to see the latest -

(1/29/08): We finally figured out which scandalous celebrity photos Peachey was talking about...

OOO, 陳冠希「淫照」曝光
警方科技罪案組網上追查
For those who haven't heard, someone sold some compromising photos (淫照) to the press... basically Edison Chen and some notable female stars engaging in compromising acts...   wow that was NOT a good idea....

Much legal action is taking place... I won't post anything more than little bit here for the sake of the actresses involved...

Note to all stars - don't leave any sex act photos or videos on your cell phone or digital camera! (and maybe take the drunken party ones out too for good measure!)

Actually a good idea for everyone, including non-celebs... especially considering how easy it is to lose a cell phone or small digital camera. you never know who might find it and look through.

There was this one time I was looking at my friend's new phone... I wanted to see how the media player was... and I accidentally happened upon something I shouldn't have seen... very disturbing! (I could never look at him and his gf the same way again... )

UPDATE: here's a good english article about the controversy and response from the companies involved:

UPDATE 2: oh god, there's more! its obvious these are captures from a video... i'm sure it'll be coming out sooner or later. just a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop. :-(

UPDATE 3 (2/1/08): There have been more released in the past few days since I originally posted this, including 'solo' pictures of a third very well known actress in various explicit poses. (at least its not 'in the act'). I'm probably the only one in the world who's not going to name the actresses, but its easy to find out from the news if you haven't heard yet.

Apparently the consensus is that someone probably copied the photos off of Edison's hard drive while he was getting his computer repaired. Apparently by using overseas sites to distribute them, he or she has made it somewhat hard to trace and definitely impossible to eradicate.

In the last few days this stuff has completely taken over the news stands (particularly the weekly rags). Originally there was a fear that more actresses would be included in the 'scandal', some magazines put out covers with lots of names and pictures of all the famous Hong Kong actresses/singers who have been 'linked' to Edison over the years, speculating that they may be the next... the list was in double digits. But so far only its been limited to three....

Even the English newspapers have been covering the issue.... I was bemused to see 'The Standard' initially refer to them as 'doctored photos', i think most of them have stopped pretending...

BTW, Here's their latest update... including the arrest of someone who apparently is guilty of nothing that 3-4 million other people in HK haven't also done. Despite the serious issue, the article is funny for the photo at least.

Actually that is nothing, there are a LOT of parody photos have been floating around the net too, fake advertisements for abalone (鮑魚) and Chinese sausage(臘腸)... (tasteless but sometimes funny).

In our office we have had a sex scandal of our own. This case of attempted assault:

The victim has claimed that this photo is doctored too...

UPDATE 4 (2/3/08): just to keep everyone in the loop - things are still going and its still all over the news and watercooler talk... today from a quick scan of the web and talking to friends, there are just a lot of random rumors flying around, some people are saying there's videos floating around and up to 60 pictures, of up to like 10 different well known actresses/singers, i have seen one which purports to show a singer putting her clothes on, but no idea who took that or what.... there's also news in Mainland papers that another extremely popular cantopop singer is in a new batch of photos (but these may be fakes). And former Edison girlfriend w/ a single letter last name is now apparently involved, although they say the anonymous poster is saving these for last (since she's an international film star now...)

Edison also wrote on his blog that he was going to issue a press release, but this apparently hasn't happened yet.

we'll see in a day or two... the cops have arrested more people for reposting, but of course these guys are just patsies. :-P

ps - i have gotten crazy views on this blog (and an insane number of comments), thanks to everyone! This blog is apparently on the 7th page of the google results (and rising!) If you're new to AnD , please make a log-in and join the community!

UPDATE 5 (2/5/08):   Edison finally breaks his silence and makes a public statement about the episode, and it looks like the cops finally caught the guys doing this! Click to read the new blog about it!   (and thanks to all the curious viewers, this blog has been viewed over 2500 times!)

UPDATE 6 (2/6/08): For all subsequent updates about the police action and the new photos released today, check out this blog entry:

yeah, more eyeballs doesn't hurt, but of course we have to keep the 'vibe' as positive and clean as possible (i'm proud to say that traffic has come w/o even mentioning the names of the girls involved or putting any (non-joke) mosaicked pictures up...

Hopefully, when some of them drop by for the salacious and seedy stuff (which hooked me), they'll also notice how great this site is for interesting and legit artist news/videos/photos, without all the blurring. For some others, I'd just as soon they come (sorry) and go.

Well, as to the 4000+ and growing, HA, congrats Etchy!~

flagday: i think the biggest (jet, daniel wu, etc) will get like 1000 view or more over the first couple weeks, but most are well below 1000... this kind of traffic is not just from the 100+ comments, its definitely connected to search engine traffic...

I'm one of those consistent blog re-visitors...I like to see what everyone says. So this one's cracking me up --- 3500+ hits. hahaha You could announce the true meaning of life and you wouldn't get 3500 hits! What's the most hit thread on AnD so far?

Etchy: Yes.

All kidding aside, I've had to have my PC worked on and I didn't even want those guys looking at my personal e-mails. Nothing racy, just personal. And basically, it's your entire correspondence history with family and friends. So if I were a "star" I'd definitely hook up with a reputable tech guru. Maybe someone who's bonded/insured for confidentiality, etc. There ya go. A business opportunity.
