Are You Ready For El-La?

What about Rui En?

‘Ella’ might be the new ‘Ruivin’, if the sizzling onscreen chemistry between Elvin Ng and Sheila Sim is anything to go by. “There are some people that you just hit it off with, and Elvin’s one of them,” says Sheila. Elvin was equally gushy: We hit if off immediately, I can say anything to her, ‘cos she’s a very real person. Who would I choose between Rui En and her? Rui En on-screen and Sheila off-screen. Er…but it’s not that I don’t get along with Rui En off-screen, okay?”

The Red Carpet Awards: Star Awards edition

Working the red carpet isn’t just about vying for the Best Dressed title. It’s about friendship too, okay – especially if you’re Rui En.

Cutest PDA: Rui En and Chen Liping

Reunited and it feels so good: What you didn’t see on TV was how Tay Ping Hui was relegated to the third wheel when his Mercedes co-passenger Rui En couldn’t wait to reunite with BFF Chen Liping on the red carpet before the cameras rolled. Aww.

The Star Awards beauty report card

Who shone? Who fell flat? After critiquing the stars’ fashion picks at the annual shindig, we examine their hair and make-up choices.

The Look

The sultry dewy-faced Queen

Get the look with: Smoky eyes, heavy eyeliner and a dewy complexion

The heavily-kohled eye works for Rui En, and she knows it. This year, besides the wing-tipped peepers and duty-heavy mascara, the ice-queen decided to add a little sparkle to her non-smile with highlights of gold eyeshadow, which gave her a nice glow. Her hair, while pulled back into a bun, wasn’t too severe. While we like that she went for a natural, dewy face, we can’t help thinking it was a tad too shiny. Well, at least it matched the gleam of the two trophies she bagged that night.

Remembering Big Brother

By Jonathan Fam, Sarah Chang & Tan Yi Hui

In the eyes of his showbiz peers, Huang Wenyong was a father, a brother, an aspiring pop idol, a comedian, a walking encyclopaedia, and then some. Sixteen stars share with us their personal memories of the man everyone called Wenyong da ge (big brother).

Rui En: “He always told us about the best hawker food in Singapore wherever we were filming. He was like a one-man hawker expert.”

Stormy Starry night

How do you throw a party for the family when your big brother just died? You don’t. Which why was bright outfit were toned down, the madcap skits were a pale shadow of last year’s ROMFL version, and a sense of solemnity pervaded the night. But there were still gems to be found in the subdued evening. Bryan Wong picked on someone not his own size, many a host was roasted in the making of this show, and ice queen Rui En actually flashed more teeth than new couple QiPeh. All in all, we were still left wanting.

So what is Elvin implying?

Rui En, who also won the Favourite Female Character award, admits it’s a mystery why everyone likes seeing her and Elvin Ng together…on TV. The duo won Favourite On-screen couple again this year. A cheeky Elvin announced backstage, much to the horror of his co-star: “Since everyone likes seeing us together, Rui En and I also have an announcement to make…Just kidding lah!” Did we mention that Rui En looked horrified?

Wore & Please

You don’t have to do to a designer boutique to find a Star Awards outfit.

Rui En, B+

Next year, maybe she’ll try short and sassy?

For someone who used to wear only black, second-time Best Actress winner Rui En has been going on a colour explosion the past two weeks, donning a siren-red dress (for Show 1) and this deep purple gown, both from Christian Dior. “It was an intentional effort to add more colours in my outfit this year,” she tells us. Is it mean to say we were quite amused by how she seemed to be wrestling with the big tulle the whole night?

Our super anonymous, super insider Star Awards prediction

We huddled in dark corners, slipped secret notes and scanned our office for bugs just to get four MediaCorp insiders to reveal who they think will go home with a Star Award this year. And boy, is it going to be a tight race.

Best Actress

Ch 8 Senior Exec: “Rui En will win. She’s already won the Asian Television Best Actress award for this role.”

Ch 8 Actor: “She may not be an A-lister but Cynthia Koh’s acting talent is undeniable. She has a lot of depth and can make the audience feel what she’s feeling.”

MediaCorp Senior Manager: “Rui En’s acting is very refreshing. This role was very intense and it showed off her range as an actress.”

Ch 8 Drama Producer: “Rui En brought this character to life.”

8 DAYS Pick: Cynthia Koh’s turn as the long-suffering wife of a gambling addict who eventually succumb to the evils of gambling too, is the most gut-wrenching, rip-your-heart-out (and thus most award-worthy) performance of the lot.

Best Drama Serial

Ch 8 Senior Exec: “Don’t Stop Believin’ is the year’s highest-rated drama and an uplifting tearjerker. It has everything the judges are looking for.”

Ch 8 Actor: “I haven’t seen a drama as good as Game Plan in a long time. From the storyline to the acting to the cinematography. It makes you feel like you’re watching a movie.”

MediaCorp Senior Manager: “Poetic Justice has beautiful people, beautiful locations and was beautifully shot. It’s nice to run away from reality a bit.”

Ch 8 Drama Producer: “A lot of effort was put into Unriddle 2.”

8 DAYS Pick: Game Plan trumps the competition on all fronts, from story premise to production values to quality of cast.

Story: Tan Yi Hui, Sarah Chang & Douglas Tseng

Bravo to the spot-on pairings on C.L.I.F. 2 (weeknights, Ch 8; Catch-up TV).

The best complement to a well-thought out, fast-paced plot is a strong cast with sizzling onscreen chemistry. Who would’ve guessed that Joanne Peh and Thomas Ong could strike up such a fun and believeable romance? We also like the way Qi Yuwu and Joanne play off each other. More interestingly, the unlikely December-May match-up of Rui En and Li Nanxing is surprisingly palatable. In fact, Nanxing’s affable character is the perfect fit for the rather detached Rui En, and we can’t help but root for them to get together soon. This is just what we need to get over the awkward pairing of Elvin Ng and Julie Tan on It’s a Wonderful Life. Take note, producers.
