Sam can’t escape the smash hit “Lost Boy” because, well, he is the lost boy. His pop-singer ex immortalized him in a song about his childish ways, and now his comedy career is on the line. At least he still has Bree, his best friend and confidante. Bree has always been there for Sam, but she’s never…
The heroine of Jackie Lau’s Not Your Valentine, Helen Tsang, goes viral as the victim of a nasty public breakup on Valentine’s Day.
