“Insiders” are saying Barbie and her husband Wang Xiaofei’s (汪小菲) friends in Beijing are openly talking about the baby to be.

In response, Barbie will not accept new work commitments, including an offer from Jiangsu Satellite TV to appear at its Spring Festival Gala with boy band F4.

Since Barbie and Xiaofei tied the knot in March 2011, the 36-year-old has pulled out all the stops to try and get pregnant (including having sex, presumably).

The former vegetarian has changed her diet, started to eat meat and put on weight.

She has also visited traditional Chinese medicine doctors to strengthen her physique.

It was previously reported that her mother-in-law Zhang Lan (张兰), founder of a restaurant chain in China, asked her son to choose between herself and Barbie if the latter could not produce offspring.

Which sounds weirdly incestuous.

The Shanghai-based high-end Lan Club (兰会所), run by Xiaofei, has been auctioned off, according to various reports.

Xiaofei’s mother Zhang Lan (张兰), founder of South Beauty Group (俏江南集团) which owns Lan Club, explained it was because their landlord is in debt and the auction has nothing to do with their business operations as the new owner of the property will have to honor their remaining lease contract.

She expressed confidence that the change in landlords will not affect their business.

This is not the first time the family business is reported to be in trouble.

Recently, the group’s restaurant in Taiwan — its debut expansion across the Taiwan Strait — was rumored to be on the brink of bankruptcy and its employees were not paid on time.

Xiaofei and Barbie rushed back to Taipei last week to boost employee morale and assure them that their business is in a healthy shape.

Xiaofei explained the paycheck was delayed because his firm had to remit money from China via Hong Kong to Taiwan.

Netizens however responded that this suggested their revenues in Taiwan were not sufficient to pay employees, and therefore it was being run at a loss.

A fengshui master said the NT$200 million ($6.6 million) residential unit she bought in Taipei in 2010 is not compatible for her and is likely to trigger disputes and even harm her health, according to Next Magazine.

The 35-year-old actress is desperate to have a baby since marrying “second generation rich” Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲).

She is rumored to have tried artificial insemination but failed.

Her mom-in-law Zhang Lan (张兰) is said to be very worried, and her own mom has sought solutions from religious leaders.

Her status was listed as a “family member of Taiwanese compatriots.”

It is believed she can sit on the committee because Barbie is Taiwanese.

Zhang Lan denied this, however, saying she was given the honor because of her corporate culture and clout in business circles.

Zhang Lan owns the restaurant chain, South Beauty (俏江南). Her son Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲), Barbie’s husband, took on the CEO post in June.

May Daily Says: Were it not for her daughter-in-law Barbie, how on earth could she be a “family member of Taiwanese compatriots”??? GET REAL.

The 76-year-old writer, (in)famous for suing people, said he would settle out of court with her after appearing in five episodes of the popular KangXi Lai Le (Here Comes KangXi, 康熙來了), co-hosted by Dee and Kevin Tsai (蔡康永).

Li Ao filed a slander lawsuit against Dee, aka Little S, last week after she joked on her show the reason Li Ao kept criticizing Zhang Lan (张兰), mom-in-law of her actress sister Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛), was likely because he was secretly in love with her but had failed to attract her attention.

Li Ao was furious, saying he didn’t fancy old ladies.

Dee has stayed silent about the lawsuit but her good friend, co-host Kevin, expressed support by saying that Li Ao has lost his edge because he gets to upset over trivial matters.

The 76-year-old yesterday said he does not care whether he wins or loses in the end, but reckoned the tortuous lawsuit process would teach Dee and her TV producers a lesson.

Dee, aka Little S, recently joked on her show that the reason Li Ao kept criticizing Zhang Lan (张兰), mom-in-law of her actress sister Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛), was because he likely failed to woo her and spoke out against her because she spurned him.

The furious Li Ao asked, “How can you crack jokes about a woman’s virginity? This is about integrity, not a joke.”

He previously made a big show of saying how insulted he felt and claimed he spurned sexual congress with women of advanced years.

Dee’s husband Mike Hsu (許雅鈞) tweeted on his microblog that, to protect his wife, he would not hesitate to sell his property to fight in court with Li Ao.

The hilarious situation came about after author Li Ao (李敖) laid into Zhang Lan (张兰), mom-in-law of actress Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛), for having money but no culture or honesty.

Dee, Barbie’s younger sister, couldn’t help but reply on her variety show by joking, “I wonder whether Li Ao is secretly in love with her (Zhang Lan)?”

The 76-year-old author made a big show of saying how insulted he felt and claimed he spurned sexual congress with women of advanced years.

“I’ve never loved an old lady,” he said.

He plans to file a slander lawsuit against Dee on Monday unless the heavyweight TV producer Wang Wei-chong (王偉忠), Dee’s former boss, negotiates with him.

To be fair to Li Ao, his wife Wang Zhihui (王志慧) is 29 years younger, so if he’s been sticking to the marital bed, then he’s probably got a case — literally.

Xiaofei uploaded two photos of donation receipts on his blog Friday morning, showing a total donation of 3 million yuan (US$460,500).

He said the red envelopes [cash] received at their wedding was less than 3 million and they made up the difference, before donating the money to Shanghai More Love Foundation (上海增爱基金会) on March 28.

His decision to make public the receipts was aimed at addressing criticism from netizens, especially after four young people made a scene recently outside a Beijing restaurant, run by his mom Zhang Lan (张兰), asking to see the donation receipts.

Zhang Lan said at the wedding that they would donate all the cash received as presents to charity causes.

Xiaofei asked in his blog, what is more important, making donations or showing the receipts?
