RBKD: An interesting article by Xinmsn which hopes to see Rui En attempting 6 different types of roles based on pre-existing characters from past dramas and movies. These roles include:

a) Dual roles of a wrongfully murdered ghost and her living daughter in Shadows in the Dark

Rui En has never attempted horror dramas and it would be refreshing to see her balancing these two roles.

b) Indie musician in Begin Again

It’s been quite some time a music drama has aired and this role is ideal for Rui En who had released two full music albums and a few singles in her career.

c) Top actress falling from grace in You Who Came from The Stars

Even though this character is similar to Zhang Ya Le in A Tale of 2 Cities but nature is different. It’d be fun to see Rui En play an aloof trend-setting fashionista with a caustic tongue for once.

d) Doctor in Good Doctor

It’s an occupation Rui En has yet to try onscreen.

e) Hockey Player in Pride

Perfectly suitable for Rui En as she herself is a true blue hockey player during her schooling days.

f) High School teacher in Gokusen

Rui En’s an influential personality in her own right (trended worldwide on Twitter a few times) and it would be interesting to see her as an inspirational school teacher.

Share with us what do you think of Rui En in these roles and what other roles would you like to see Rui En attempt: forum

The Flame Awards is celebrating 17 years – gosh, how time flies! – of discerning adulation and witty irreverence with a bang.

For nearly two decades, the sharp-tongued team at The New Paper has been handing out laurels to the crazy kids on the entertainment scene for adding colour to our lives.

We either praise these beloved stars or roast them with sadistic glee.

This year, expect a few new award categories that give special mention to celebrities who amused and perplexed us with their acts of impulsiveness.

But first, a classic readers’ favourite – BABE OF THE YEAR.

BABE OF THE YEAR

1. RUI EN
2. JEANETTE AW
3. MUNAH BAGHARIB

Two gorgeous veterans are up against a spunky newcomer. Will it be a case of youthful victory, or will experience and massive fan base win the day?

Want to find out more about these ladies?

Babe of the year

She’s icy cool over Flame nomination

1. Rui En

Staying true to her ice queen reputation, the 31-year old took in her Babe of The Year nomination coolly.

“Thanks for nominating me again,” she wrote in an e-mail reply.

“As usual, regarding any awards, I normally have zero expectations.”

The Hype Records artiste was juggling a hectic filming schedule and could not speak to us on the phone.

Rui En was nominated this year because we loved it that she kept it real at Star Awards Show 1 in April.

A comedic skit spoofing the A-list stars of Caldecott Hill mercilessly teased her about her then-highly publicised spat with actor Zhang Yaodong and she looked moody for the rest of the show.

Zhang had talked to the media about a rape scene he did with Rui En in the drama On the Fringe in August 2011. Rui En, who was working in Malaysia then, immediately posted a heated blog entry, stressing that she was against doing kissing and rape scenes.

At the Star Award Show 1, she didn’t even pretend to be happy for the cameras. In her acceptance speech, she said firmly: “We are here to film (dramas), not create news.”

Now, if that isn’t a dig at her colleagues’ – and perhaps, also the media’s – “kaypoh” chatter about her and Zhang, we don’t know what is.

In her e-mail replies to TNP, Rui En said: “All the teasing and ragging is really part and parcel of the game. Some said my face was black, only to realise afterwards that it’s my default look.

“I just honestly wish they could come up with some new material to tease me with.”

She didn’t say much about her chances against the other two nominees, labelmate Jeanette Aw and Maimunah Bagharib (Munah), but expressed concerns about her fans spending too much money on SMS votes.

“I know there has been plenty of voting going on this year for various awards, do vote within your means,” urged Rui En.

How to vote

For Babe of the Year, the keyword is TNPFLAMEBABE

Send your vote by SMS to 146077877 in the following format: TNPFLAMEBABE Answer NRIC Name

For example, if you want to vote Rui En as Babe Of The Year, SMS “TNPFLAMEBABE 1 S1234567A MIKE TAN” to 146077877

Each SMS costs 20 cents. Voting ends at 11.59pm on Sunday (16 December 2012).

重头剧《警徽天职2》果然规格不同。主要演员一字排开皆是一线大牌，开镜用的烧猪是i见过最大的，还有香槟喝！赢了咯。

瑞恩这一脸stressed样，绝对与身上22磅重的警察配件无关。原来她仍未接到剧本，无法细细揣摩角色，正在发愁。

李南星与瑞恩继《边缘父子》再度合作，阿哥对瑞恩的评价是：“Ok啊，她很专业，在戏方面掌握得很稳。”

去年的视帝视后排排站，戏里虽没有感情戏但将携手办案，大有机会同台飙戏。

日期: 26/09/2012 | 新闻来源: 新明日报 | 记者: 钟雁龄

媒体发展管理局（MDA）前天发表华文节目咨询委员报告，提到《最火2》出现童妓、轮奸和残暴死亡等“让人不安”主题。在《最火2》中饰演爆烈女警“胡小曼”的瑞恩，承认部分情节确实过于暴力，更坦言若自己有小孩也不会让他看。

《警徽天职2》昨天举行开镜仪式，瑞恩在剧中饰演女警。被问到之前的《最火2》被批暴力，瑞恩表示：“确实不适合小孩子，尤其里头有父亲猥亵的娈童情节，就很不妥，因为9点档毕竟还是family belt，如果我有小孩也不会让他看。”

提议深夜11点播映

不过，瑞恩也觉得，要如何在戏剧创作及道德尺度方面取得平衡，是很棘手的问题。她说：“很矛盾，我觉得幕后制作需要创作空间，但也了解很多家庭和小孩在看这个时段的剧集，要如何平衡两者，我真的不懂。或许电视台应该设立一个深夜11时的频道，让一些比较’挑战尺度’的剧能在那个时段播映。”

瑞恩在《警徽2》中再演女警，并与李南星继《边》后再结缘。演那么多次警察，瑞恩不会觉得闷？她笑说：“我入行第一部警察剧是《破茧而出》，我觉得以不同方式演同一行业角色，难度比演不同角色来得更大。”

瑞恩今年接连拍4部剧，曝光度是众花旦当中之首，不过她却很想放大假，每天睡到自然醒。“不过，想想我能做自己喜欢的工作，同时赚到钱，也是幸福的事啦。”

瑞恩再演警察，兴奋得如小孩子般，将努力跳脱胡小曼的深刻形象！xinmsn送上《警徽天职II》首周定装图集，让你抢先看部分角色的造型如何。（点击看访问视频）

8频道9点档电视剧《警徽天职》去年播出大受欢迎，以92万4000人的平均收视夺下全年收视冠军。今年卷土重来，除了白薇秀、戚玉武和陈丽贞，角色方面进行换血，少了郑斌辉和黄俊雄，加入了瑞恩、李南星、王沺裁、方展发与郭蕙雯等。

瑞恩在剧中饰演特別罪案调查组组长黄芷婕，小时候目睹姐姐被歹徒虏走杀害，对她造成心灵上的冲击，但立志要成为警察。

《警徽天职II》日前进行定装，有别于《最火搭档》胡小曼帅气冰冷的造型，黄芷婕的打扮明显比较女性化，衣服色系散发温暖。

瑞恩在接受xinmsn专访时表示，虽然演过警察，但每个角色都有自己的挑战，从来不觉得得心应手。

“因为胡小曼在很多人的印象中是比较深刻，所以我要怎么脱离那个形象，制造一个新的角色，这对我来说是非常高难度的挑战，但我很乐意接受。”

黄芷婕的故事不如胡小曼灰暗，个性更为亲切。瑞恩坦言，因为胡小曼的关系，她原以为自己之后绝对没机会接演警方的戏，没想到这次却被相中，很惊讶但也很开心。

她表示，本身对这个行业非常有兴趣，为了《最火搭档》做功课时，一直都有关注犯罪和警察范围的东西。这次能看到警察真正解决案件的过程，她’非常兴奋，有点像小孩子的心态’。

《警徽天职》拍摄严谨，注意细节，瑞恩曾看过几集，她认为可以学到东西，其实也比较放心，真正要做的功课不多，现场都会有人来教。

阿哥李南星这次饰演法证管理组队长魏蓝天，与瑞恩有感情线，两人曾在《边缘父子》合作，但那时是演朋友。

瑞恩说，上次自己演瞎子，和李南星完全没有眼神接触，所以这次比较新鲜，相当期待。她一直都很喜欢和资深艺人合作，’除了可以学到东西，整个过程也会很顺利，因为他们都很专业’。

瑞恩的电视剧一部接着一部，前年3部，去年4部，今年已播出《最火搭档2》和《花样人间》，以记者为题材的《微笑正义》正在播映中。

瑞恩说，她已经没在算拍了什么，《微笑正义》杀青后，她放了一个月的假，算是她这两三年来最长的一个假期。

她开心表示，她非常珍惜这宝贵的时间，她留在家里，什么都没有做。

粉丝投票压力大 瑞恩内疚

《红星大奖2012》结束后，新传媒在Facebook上推出《红星大奖2013》’最喜爱男女角色’å’Œ’最喜爱荧幕情侣’网络投选应用软件，鼓励粉丝们为心仪的偶像投选。

网友可以在剧集播出期间，一直到大结局后的一个星期投票，全年获得最多票数的5名艺人将角逐明年的《红星大奖》。

这个投选活动推出后，引起不少网友讨论，最近更因为陈靓瑄在《我们等你》的’杜思曼’票数激增，打败瑞恩的’胡小曼’，而引起粉丝投诉，甚至质疑陈靓瑄灌票。

被问及此投选活动，瑞恩重重地叹了一口气，前后说了3次’过意不去’。她表示感到内疚，尤其是自己戏很多，粉丝们要为各个角色投票。

瑞恩直言：’我是希望明年这个投票活动不要那么长，让我们的粉丝有时间好好读书做功课，如果是短短的，可能比较好。’

例如，《红星大奖2012》的’最喜爱’奖项投选制度，她就觉得OK。

至于接下来是否会打败’杜思曼’，瑞恩表示她无法去在乎，因为这不在她的控制范围内。

方展发在剧中饰演心理医生陈彦均，与瑞恩因为联谊认识，两人尝试交往。不过，他其实有段不为人知的过去……

方展发与瑞恩曾在《乐在双城》与《麻婆斗妇》中合作。

Skit-zophrenia!

Star Awards Show 1

Thanks to one madcap, no-holds-barred skit, nobody, especially the lampooned stars, will forget this year’s Star Awards Show 1 anytime soon.

Who says we can’t laugh at ourselves? Yes, the three-hour-long Star Awards Show 1 was, for the most part, a nostalgic trip down memory lane – say “long time no see!” to past Ch 8 icons like Chen Xiuhuan, Zhang Wanling and Huang Biren. But it was a 15-minute skit lampooning the most memorable dramas of 2011 – on screen and off – that gave the show humour and lotsa bite. Starring Quan Yifeng, Dennis Chew, Vivian Lai, Guo Liang and Lee Teng, the skit is best described as the mutant child between the Oscars’ opening montage and Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes monologue. Only meaner. Spoofing Devotion, Code of Honour and A Song to Remember, no topic – from Zoe Tay’s wrinkles to Rui En’s feud with On the Fringe co-star Zhang Yaodong, to the questionable acting of the very stars the awards were celebrating – was off limits.

Awkward, much? This year’s Favourite Onscreen Couple may lack chemistry – their awkward acceptance speech ended with two seconds of dead air on live TV – but at least Rui En and Elvin Ng (aka RuiVin) have fans who believe they’re great together.

Freeze Frame!

Wanna see actors being real? Feast your eyes.

We knew we’d catch Tay Ping Hui smirking at Rui En and Elvin Ng’s awkward speech. “I always have that look on my face lah,” says TPH.

Scandalous! Ann Kok’s reaction to the lampooning of Rui En and Zhang Yaodong’s feud says everything.

Fashion Police

White track: “I like anything with studs,” says Rui En, who looks stunning in this white va-va-Versace number. “People always say I wear black, so this is for them!”

2. Cover Story Pages 34-46

The INS and OUTS of Star Awards 2012

We have all the thrills, spills, and the most surprising Top 10 Most Popular lists ever.

And if the talent segment is the winners’ speeches, points must be given Qi Yuwu, who made it on stage for his Top 10 award bearing the scars from his car accident. Then there was the engaging Rui En, who took a cute dig at everyone for panning her too cool-for-school attitude by showing us what she looked like when she’s really ticked off.

Rui En

SPANX YOU VERY MUCH? You’d think that to get into this form-fitting dress that hugs the body like a second skin, Rui En must’ve survived on a diet of water and air for days. Nope. This cool cat who swished around in the Dsquared2 slinky number, five-inch Jimmy Choos and Cartier bling tells us: “I just had a plate of chicken rice in the hotel room before this.” Yes, you can start hating her now.

Overheard

“I’m rarely humourous.” – RUI EN on the “angry face, happy face” joke she cracked on stage.

1. 红星大奖 红星乐与怒 Pages 32 – 45

文：杨丽玲、王莉雁、余婉瑜、黄敏玮、王瑂雯

最精彩，在开场。

但感动度似乎逐年有减少。

是实至名归而不是＂需要＂所以才得奖，给予Mr Tay掌声理应更多。

白薇秀再当视后堪称《红星》史上最大爆冷之一。

大家的眼镜跌破一地，当事人意气风发之余，也务必表现得诚惶诚恐。

黄俊雄与瑞恩横扫Show 1奖项，无悬念，粉丝呐喊喝彩早早响彻现场。

圈中人缘与媒体缘相当一般的两人，何以成为当今人气之王与后？某些业界人士或许会纳闷。这就是曾宝仪口中的所谓＂入屋＂。

观众最大。观众的喜爱，尽管有时难测，其实也直接。顺眼，不会没有原因。

＂奇怪了，报纸之前不是写我们不怎么和吗？＂

＂可是，你真的相信报纸写的一切吗？＂

两人的对话，是两场一堆安全的致谢词当中唯一挑得起话题的。只是，多数媒体应该不想提及。

颁奖礼就是Show，爆冷话题，大热高潮，台上风光，台下暗涌。够drama，才好看……

得奖名单

十大最受欢迎女艺人：林慧玲、林湘萍、瑞恩、钟琴、赖怡伶、蔡琦慧、欧萱、许美珍、白薇秀、郭舒贤

最喜爱女角色：瑞恩/章雅乐

最喜爱荧幕情侣： 黄俊雄 & 瑞恩

最佳电视剧：边缘父子

这一夜，讲过的还记得住的

＂这是我真正黑脸的表情，这是我笑的表情，以后不要再误会了。＂

瑞恩有股冷幽默，不时语出有惊与喜，懂不懂得欣赏因人而异。

服装大斗法

瑞恩

当晚穿的Dsquared2黑礼服，因瑞恩担心走猫步裙摆太长会被绊倒，特地赶工改短，直到颁奖礼当天上午才完成热辣出炉。合作两年多的造型师Lirong很懂她：“她喜欢皮质材料的衣服、还有就是不可以太暴露。”

Show 1 精彩点滴

风光奖门人

势力最强

黄俊雄与瑞恩是当晚最大赢家。 

除了“最喜爱男女角色”，两人又一同领“最喜爱荧幕情侣”奖项。

两人粉丝团合力组成 “Ruivin” 势力不可挡，有媒体问起是否希望明年再凭《最火搭档2》获荧幕情侣人气奖，瑞恩笑说：“我们在戏里好像不是情侣吧？我跟（陈）莉萍姐的戏多，比较适合吧……”

娱乐玩很大

连续3年玩模仿秀，今年综艺咖拿演员们开刀，下足了猛药。权怡凤、周崇庆、钟琴、王禄江、赖怡伶等搞笑上演翻版《星洲之夜》、《正义武馆》和《阿娣》。

席上演员反应？瑞恩一脸哭笑不得……事不关己的郑斌辉，亦被拍到在偷笑。

影射瑞恩和张耀栋“强奸不遂”风波的模仿片段，还殃及了坐在观众席远处的张耀栋。

瑞恩私下被问及与张耀栋在拍《花样人间》时的互动，她淡淡一句：“专业。”
