Birthday exposé

Story: Jonathan Fam

Forget feuding neighbours or retroliciuos epics, A star-studded exposé on local showbiz will mark local TV’s 50th anniversary next year.

To mark the 50th anniversary of broadcast TV in Singapore, Zoe Tay, Chen Liping, Rui En and Jeanette Aw will headline a 2013 Ch 8 mid-year blockbuster that’s set in a TV station, exposing the drama behind the TV drama. Joining them is Rebecca Lim. Chen Hanwei and Shaun Chen star opposite the ladies in the serial, which starts filming next January.

We hear the still-untitled drama will see the stars play stars, TV executives and producers, and will be packed with catfights, scandals and romance.

Who’s your BFF?

By: Jonathan Fam

Chen Liping: The loner whisperer

The notoriously aloof Rui En has said that her “only friend in showbiz” is Chen Liping: “We hang out outside of work; we go to church and we eat. We love food.” But just as we were about to print ‘Rui En & Liping: BFF 4EVA’ posters, along comes Mat Yoyo host Ya Hui, who calls Liping her “only trusted friend”. Aiyoyo….So who is Liping’s closest showbiz pal? We tried calling the veteran actress on the phone but she hung up on us after we identified ourselves. Judging from her less-than-friendly reaction, can we venture a guess and say… Rui En?

Cliffhangers

A second season of the popular police drama C.L.I.F returns next year with a fresh cast – in addition to ‘old-timers’ Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu.

The cops were out in full force on Caldecott Hill last week, but fret not, no celeb was caught misbehaving. They were just actors getting ready for the lensing ceremony for Ch 8 blockbuster C.L.I.F 2, which debuts next February. Here’s what you can expect from the second season of the hit police drama, shot in collaboration with the Singapore Police Force.

1. Different Faces

Only two members of the original cast are returning – Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu. But there’s enough star power in this one to make up for the absence of Tay Ping Hui and Elvin Ng, who, according to producers, couldn’t reprise their roles due to scheduling conflicts. The new recruits include Li Nanxing, Rui En, Pierre Png and Thomas Ong.

2. Same action, more drama

“There will be drama in everyone’s family!” guarantees the show’s executive producer. Scriptwriters also have more room this season to expand each character’s storyline, so expect to see lots of emotionally-wrought scenes.
