Fala Chen’s Husband Falls from Favor; Marie Zhuge Tries for Snake Baby
Above: Fala Chen and sister-in-law, Marie Zhuge, are rumored to be bitter rivals.
The Hong Kong paparazzi has always been interested in collecting the latest scoop on the “power struggle” between Fala Chen (陳法拉) and sister-in-law, Marie Zhuge (諸葛紫岐). Although Fala never directly admitted to marrying Sit Sai Hang (薛世恒), the couple is widely speculated to have married in 2008. Sit Sai Hang is said to have fallen favor from his father, who has reportedly appointed his younger brother, Sit Ka Leun (薛嘉麟) as Neway’s heir.
Instead of enjoying married life like Marie, Fala instead placed all her efforts in her acting career, hoping to support her husband monetarily. As a result, Fala has also fallen favor from her mother-in-law, who is eager to have grandchildren.
Marie Zhuge Prepares for Snake Baby
After tying the knot with Sit Ka Leun in March last year, Hong Kong entertainer Marie Zhuge has been actively trying for a baby. Marie indirectly confirmed her baby plans to the press at a recent press function. Well-informed of the feng shui knowledge for the upcoming Lunar New Year, Marie stated, “A snake baby is good. Next year will be the Year of the Water Snake. It is compatible with me.”
On Monday, January 14, 3 Weekly Magazine caught Marie shopping for protein and folate-rich foods in a Tsui Sha Tsui supermarket. The following day, the superstitious Marie stopped by a Buddhist shop in Yau Ma Tei to look for lucky child-bearing statues, such as the Guanyin and the laughing Buddha. It was also reported that Marie had a feng shui master visit her home, who offered her advice on how to rearrange her home décor.
Marie had once suffered a miscarriage before her marriage to the Neway heir. The 33-year-old model-actress is not willing to take any more risks in her baby plans this time. For the last few months, Marie and Sit Ka Leun took vacations in mainland China, Singapore, and the United States. Marie hopes to maintain a healthy and relaxing lifestyle, in attempts to prepare her body for a healthy pregnancy.

who is this marie zhuge chick? is she famous? never heard of her.
Why won’t she admit that she married or not? It’s not like it’s gonna hurt ur career.
Some people are so full of themselves that’s why. There was another who lived the same lie:::AndyLau.
These are the sort of married women who place money & power above having children. When they’re nearing 40, they winge, groan, complain and ‘wonder’ why they cannot get pregnant and then and go for endless IVF to conceive.
It’s a joke*
Absolutely agree with you. Words from my mouth!! Can never understand why these celebrities denies they are married, lies to everyone’s face. Example like Andy Lau.. was open secret in Malaysia he was married but he lied brazenly after all these years until he got found out.
Do they think true fans will leave them??? They should trust their acting skills and not fans for their work. It shows their insecurities in life
Because it’s nobody’s business but her own, that’s why!
Fala posted Jodie Foster’s speech:
“If you had to fight for a life that felt real, honest, and normal against all odds, then maybe you too will value privacy above all else. Privacy. Someday in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it was.” -Jodie Foster Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award.
What a scary thought that privacy may one day become a thing of the past. Reminds me of that classic book — “1984”.
Dear Fala,
Admitting you’re married is not an issue of privacy, nothing like Jodie Foster who is a lesbian and therefore a possible stigma attached to that. Either admit you are married or not married. Unless of course you are already married to someone else, so that may be bigamy and hence the need for privacy.
What total BS.
Funn
Clamine, 1984 is a big brother controlling your every move. Paps and fans asking if she is married or not is hardly 1984. It is so very drama queen to say it is.
Fala has a right to her privacy.
Fala posting the Jodie’s speech on loss of privacy is not in reference to her marital status but as an acknowledgement of such sentimental.
As to “1984” putting aside the government control aspect, because with the advent of iphones and youtube and advance disseminating technologies, etc nothing seem private anymore even for regular people.
I took Jodie quote to mean ‘privacy’ for people in general not exclusively for celebrities.
I think you misread Jodie Foster’s speech. It is about her and she was saying she has a right to disclose or not disclose whatever she likes to disclose or not to disclose. She was talking about herself. As for Fala, yes she has a right to privacy but since she is in the public eye, and admitting a joyous thing such as marriage is really no big deal. Perhaps if one day no one cares to talk about her perhaps she might reveal the truth. I am not saying celebrities have no right to privacy or that they signed away their privacy when they became what is essentially a public person. I am saying stop with the BS about privacy and just admit if something is a fact and this something is nothing so stigma, nothing bad, nothing terrible or even criminal.
She can quote Jodie but her situation is different from Jodie. And even Jodie had a big coming out so maybe Fala should learn from that. Unless she likes the publicity that goes with the secretive nature. It is her right not to disclose and so it is our right to speculate.
P/S 1984 is here already when our government requires every infant born to be issued an identity card number, our finger prints taken and proposal being made (and ditched of course and rightly so) that every individual’s DNA be taken.
While getting married is a joyous thing in its own nature, I can understand why Fala or any other celebrities do not want to admit to it. How disgusting and atrocious can the media be? If Fala were to admit she’s married, she’ll be forever susceptible to the media’s evil ways, such as…if her career were to reach new peaks…something along the lines of “she used her husband’s wealth…” or some bogus like “Fala Chen is ‘intimate’ with her male co-workers” blah blah blah…
Of course marriage is a beautiful thing to share, but because she is a public figure, sometimes that isn’t enough to make a celebrity’s life prettier. I mean, just look at the amount of comments around every public figure, is there even one thats of kind words? I think not. Even if all this bogus did not begin with her denying her martial status and said she was married…do you think she’ll actually get a “congratulations”? Nope. It’ll only be more judgments and speculations as to why she married the man.
Crystal,
Bottom line is people won’t ever understand until they go through that phase in life themselves that is becoming a public figure and adjusting to the terrible terrible media/netizens.
She does not look 33!
I know she looks younger.
I never knew Fala was married… Weird
As a self-proclaimed Zhuge Liang descendant i’m afraid Fala has lost the battle before it even started.
So she helps hubby secure the throne. Poor Fala has to stick with TVB, LOL
Yea Marie Zhuge said that and then the media found out she was lying so she just ended up looking ignorant. There’s something about this girl that rub me the wrong way. Team Fala lol (not that there should be sides to take in the first place).
“Instead of enjoying married life like Marie, Fala instead placed all her efforts in her acting career, hoping to support her husband monetarily. ”
So her husband didn’t have money from before? Why make it sound so giving when in actual fact each is selfish and as ambitious as their own?
Fala looks prettier than Marie.
just this photo. Google their photos and you see both look pretty just different kind of look.
fala may look prettier,but zhuge looks more friendly and grace.
i beg to differ, if that is her sister in law, she is def better looking.
Marie looks more elegant and classy. She definitely has the looks and airs of a rich tai-tai.
Well, Fala’s husband might not be the heir to Neway but I am sure he will get some inheritance from his parents. Any way this turns, they will still be rich so what’s the big deal?
it’s hilarious as i read through the comments that so many people jump into conclusions with this silly article which is not supported by evidence whatsoever.
A bunch of these articles don’t really have any “evidence” … have you seen other articles? This is nothing compared to some of the stuff I’ve read the past 4 years.
well, she’s just ‘rumoured’ to be married but as i read through all the comments, people were condemning her for hiding her marriage. I mean seriously? there isn’t any prove that she’s married whatsoever.
I hope that she wants the baby for herself… and NOT just as a tool to get into the good graces of her in-laws.
I have to agree with what Funn Limm, applelim and jasmine7 said. Marriage is a great and wonderful thing. Yes celebrities are entitled to their privacy. They also can choose to keep their marriage a secret or disclose it to the world. That is their choice, and theirs alone. what is insulting and disrespectful to the fans is when they keep protesting that they are not married, having press conferences to deny it, getting angry about it, and even threatening the fans, media and even the next door neighbour’s dog with legal action,haha, for saying that they are married.
They don’t have to admit it, but they don’t have to keep telling the fans they are alone and not having a date for special occasions like valentines day, ala Andy Lau.
I know a certain young, good looking Tainwanese idol who is happily and secretly married to a quiet, beatiful young lady. The mother of this filial idol loves her daughter-in-law very much. His siblings love her too. He never says if he has someone, he just does not talk about his love life, he just keeps quiet about it. Fala needs to get with the program.
I agree. Celebrities should have their own privacy but sometimes just denying and threatening fans can come off as a bit arrogant.
I meant Taiwanese.
Who is this young TW idol?
I think Andy chooses to hide it so his crazy fans don’t go crazy. Have we all forgotten about that crazy Yang girl or something who’s father committed suicide because he can no longer take his daughter’s obsessive pursuit of Andy?
I knew a girl once who loved Andy so much that she would constantly talk about him. She had hopes of marrying him and being with him. She said if she couldn’t be w/him, then she would rather commit suicide so that she can be w/him in spirit. Imagine if she found out, he was married. I don’t know what ever became of her, but she was crazy in love at the time w/Andy.
@Henry, there will be suicide if this young man, who is not even yet 30 years old, is known to have a wife for the past few years. His mother hides her well so that her son can still make the big bucks. Tens of thousands of his fans range from puberty to the early twenties. I hear you about the Andy Lau situation. Some fans are past crazy. what was a turn off about Andy is how he threatened to bring lawyers to sue those who continue to write he was married. It was sickening to hear him say, “I am not married, when I decide to marry, I will let my fan know, as I consider them to be family”. I knew he was married to Carol all that time. When he played on his fans emotions and said. “I am going home alone tonight(valentines night), I have nobody waiting for me, I am lonely and alone.”. Try when he asked the fans if they think their idol, meaning himself should get married, when he was already married. That sort of behaviour is strange and sick. He should keep his lying trap shut.
Fala need to admit or just keep quet. She is indeed married. No one is forcing her to admit. what she needs to do is come clean, or do what Mr handsome drama idol from Taiwan does, keep quiet.
what’s the big deal about andy lau? sorry but i don’t like him at all
@trini,
totally agree w/u on andy lau but its not only him thou. do u remember twins ah sa? they all LIE W/EYES WIDE OPEN ok.. i will def adv when i do get married when in fact she was married. there is no need to admit it yes so SHUT UP u know, u dont hv to admit anything but DON’T LIE repeatly when asked such questions, walk away w/no comment, ignore, walk faster whatever you have to do just keep your mouth shut if u cant admit to the truth.
@Kiki, you are one smart person. I must agree with you on the Ah Sa situation. She and Fala probably got coached by Andy.,lol,lol Kiki you said it well my dear, you said it well.
@trini,
hahaha LOL, thank you.
i was very fed up when i hear news on andy lau too even thou i never like his singing or acting but i hv a friend who loves him to death since he is like her childhood idol n she will say naively stuff like ‘OMG, i cant believe he’s married’ I was like ‘WTH, he’s hitting 50’s no n you guys expect him to be single for life’?? haha..to me whether or not they hv a love life is NOT the point, the point is you either have to be truthful or ignore, dont lie about it esp when ppl interview them and repeatly they are lying about it w/eyes wide open, thats the point i dont get. sigh, i guess thats the diff bet hollywood n asian celebs, they care so much about whether or not their dramas or albums can sell where as to hollywood celebs, they still make tons when happily married w/kids. no one gives a crap haha…
Fala in my book is not getting anywhere. Should just quit since she “married” already….
