Newspaper claims photos of Hong Kong actor in the nip were stolen from his computer

It’s something that often concerns people when bringing their computer to get repaired, “what if they see (blank) on it and then they think (insert judgement here) ?”

That’s us little people. Now, imagine you’re famous and your computer was broken. We’d like to think that you’d be clever enough to delete any material that might seem unsavory to the repairman. Unsavory or you know, sold to a tabloid or splashed all over the front pages of the internet.

Photos purportedly showing a Hong Kong actor in the nip have allegedly been nabbed from his computer while he was having it repaired.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, he wasn’t alone in the photos. Yes, there were also some famous females larking about as well.

The pictures showing one Edison Chen in bed with singer Gillian Chung, along with some suggestive pictures of Cecilia Cheung have created quite the little whirlwind of gossip.

Of course there are the usual photoshop claims. Edison’s company insists they’re fake while newspapers and the web claim otherwise.

According to Reuters, Ming Pao, a newspaper from Hong Kong, reported that the images had been copied from Chen’s computer when he took it in to the shop to have it fixed.

"A person in the shop found hidden inside (Chen’s) computer, confidential nude pictures of naked female stars, which were then secretly copied," Ming Pao reported, quoting an anonymous source.

Police are investigating the incident and Chen is said to be cooperating with them. Although, he hasn’t said if they’re real or not. . .The thick plottens.
