英语文摘:Star caught in sex photo scandal makes comeback

BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhuanet) -- Gillian Chung, former member of the pop band Twins has been in a slump since she was involved in the Edison Chen sex photo scandal two years ago.

From publicly apologizing for her nave behavior to having her photo illegally used on a recent erotic DVD cover, Chung went from low point to low point.

"I work hard and get encouragement from many friends. The most important thing in my life is to live happily," she said, when her movie The Fantastic Water Babes, which was shot one year before the scandal broke, finally hit the big screens.

The movie was shot in 2007 and was set for release in the summer of 2008.

Hong Kong singer Gillian Chung.

But due to the erotic picture scandal, in which photos of Hong Kong actor Chen and Chung were stolen from Chen's computer and released on Internet in early 2008, the film was suspended.

Some insiders in entertainment industry even said they though that Chung might leave performing permanently.

Chung hasn't received any movie offers in the two years since the scandal.

But Chung is back in the spotlight again and seems to have become more outgoing and talkative, and is projecting a more mature public image of herself than she did before.

"I feel better to be myself like this," said Chung.

She is once again doing media interviews, although she refuses to talk about the scandal.
