Princess or Queen?

These are all labels, said Peh, who was called one of the Seven Princesses of MediaCorp, along with Felicia Chin, Fiona Xie, Jeanette Aw, Rui En, Dawn Yeoh and Jesseca Liu.

She became known as the next Queen of Caldecott Hill after four of the actresses left MediaCorp.

Peh stressed: “I’d rather work for something more substantial and real, like a role, than for a label.

“I’ve just returned from a holiday in London and there, terms like ‘princess’ and ‘queen’ are very real.

Here, they are just name tags in entertainment.”

HE BELIEVES he’s a star-maker.

That’s why he doesn’t understand why he hasn’t been given the chance to make young talent shine.

David Gan, owner of Passion Hair Salon and ‘mother’ to some of MediaCorp’s biggest stars like Fann Wong and Zoe Tay, is upset that artiste managers are no longer sending their young MediaCorp charges to him for hair styling services.

A spokesman for MediaCorp told The New Paper in an e-mail: ‘There is no such ban on David Gan. In fact, our make-up unit is working with him on his salon’s sponsorship of services for (new TV drama) Love In Two Cities which is currently in production.’

Hype Records boss Ken Lim, who signed popular MediaCorp princesses Jeanette Aw and Rui En, said he believes hard work is what contributed to both their successes – and that should be what young artistes should focus on.

He said: ‘Rui En and Jeanette’s success did not come overnight. Between them, there’s been 20 years of hard work.

‘Whether a star makes it or not depends on more than just a hairstyle or looks as looks are subjective.

‘It’s all about their attitude and commitment to their work. You can have the best managers and stylists but there’ll be no point if you don’t work hard yourself.’

Chinese compere and host Desmond Koh has nothing but praise for actress Fiona Xie.

Besides revealing about Fiona, Desmond also recently spilled the beans about six other local actresses in a Lianhe Wanbao report last week – namely, Jeannette Aw, Felicia Chin, Joanne Peh, Jesseca Liu, Rui En and Dawn Yeoh.

On Rui En:

Top actress Zoe Tay has critiqued seven of MediaCorp’s most popular young actresses in an interview with a fashion magazine.

On Rui En: “She is totally different from the rest. She has character and a bit of a temper, like an ice queen. Not everyone will like her. But what we have to admit is that she leaves a deep impression.”
