Forbes magazine featured 11 of the best-paid Western celebrities under 25 in its online edition this month. CHANG MAY CHOON and SHEELA NARAYANAN find local and regional celebs with strong earning power
THEY may not be playing in big money leagues yet but some of the local under-25s are already rolling in some serious dough.
Singapore Idol Taufik Batisah, 24, singer Rui En, 24, and Singapore Idol runner-up Sylvester Sim, 23
The three are represented by Hype Records, which declined to reveal how much they earn.
Rui-En has six endorsements, among them Activa facial products, Tian Poh jewellery and Motorola handphones.
Industry sources reckon that each endorsement could be worth $20,000 and above.
These figures do not include a cut of the fees, which can be between 20 and 40 per cent, that go to the artiste management companies.

FLAME AWARDS
Tomorrow is your last chance to vote for your favourite (or least favourite) Flame Awards nominees. In case you missed any of the categories that we have unveiled over the past week, HO LIAN-YI gives you a recap:
INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN AWARD
1. Olinda Cho
She went from 72kg to 57kg. She used to be known for her powerful vocals; nowadays she’s more famous for her missing flab.
2. Rui En
She went from 54kg to 47kg and baby fat has given way to spindly arms.
3. Irene Ang
The 1.7m-tall actress lost 12kg in the last six months, and has been flaunting her new figure in slinky dresses.
4. Quan Yifeng
At her lightest, she was a mere 39kg. Now 42kg, Yifeng is still a mere shadow of her former chubby self.

INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN AWARD
Our Incredible Shrinking Woman Award nominees are half the women they used to be. JEANMARIE TAN, WENDY TEO and SHEELA NARAYANAN report on the downsizing.
RUI EN
Goodbye to chubby cheeks
OVER the years, cherubic actress-singer Rui En, 24, has made no bones about shedding her baby fat.
But shocked viewers have been doing a double take at her increasingly bony shoulders and spindly arms.
The 1.68m-tall Rui En has dropped from 54kg to 47kg, and is currently endorsing LifePharm’s 7-Day Diet.
She said: ‘I hereby give The New Paper the award for Most Inventive Award Categories. I would prefer to consider myself The Incredible Woman, full-stop.’ She insists that she’s ‘healthy’ and not ‘unheathily obsessed’ with her weight.

One reason the Star Awards has been losing its lustre is the lack of fresh faces and talent on the showbiz scene.
Year in and year out, almost the same faces get voted onto the Top 10 most popular awards list – the most watched segment of the show.
So even though fresh faces like Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, Rui En and Julian Hee have entered the scene, it has been an uphill task for them to make the Top 10 list and share the limelight.
