This is your final chance to vote in this year’s Flame Awards. Noor Ashikin Abdul Rahman recaps the nominees.

BABE OF THE YEAR

1. Rui En

The level-headed ice queen remained cool despite her fall-out with actor Zhang Yaodong at this year’s Star Awards Show 1 in April.

2. Jeanette Aw

It’s a golden year for this beauty as she rakes in big bucks from endorsement deals and business opportunities all over.

3. Malmunah Bagharib

She’s pretty, smart and ballsy – and she really doesn’t care what you think of her. Enough said.

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.

BEST ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE

Rui En has acted in numerous memorable roles in her 10 years of acting. In 2011, three dramas she starred in were among the Top 6 most-watch dramas on MediaCorp Channel 8. A Tale of Two Cities debuted with a record more than 1 million in viewership and Rui En’s fresh approach of a princessy character won further praise and conviction from the audience. The role earned Rui En a nomination for Best Actress at Star Awards 2012. Her scorching popularity has further been affirmed when she was recently voted into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste for the 7th consecutive year at Star Awards 2012, as well as the Singapore E-Awards 2012 Most Popular TV Artiste for the third year in a row.

“Thank you to the production team for giving me the opportunity and space to bring out the extremities of the role.”Hu Xiao Man” would not have existed without EP Paul Yuen and script writer Phang Kai Yee. “Hu Xiao Man” will always remain significant to me. Thank you, ATA.” – Rui En

The official fanclub of Rui En decided to donate S$1,120 to charity instead of putting the money on their idol who’s running for top honours in the online Star Awards 2013 polls

After months of fierce competition and relentless voting for the upcoming Star Awards 2013, Felicia Chin’s character (Du Siman from Don’t Stop Believin’) overtook Rui En (Hu Xiaoman from Unriddle 2) to clinch the top spot; both actress are running for nomination for next year’s Favourite Female Character award.

The official fanclub of Rui En, RBKD, could have dug deep into their pockets to push their idol back to her numero uno position in the Star Awards 2013 online polls. But instead of succumbing to “the system” and pumping money into what they term a “bottomless pit”, RBKD president Peh Xinyi shared with xinmsn that the fanclub have decided to donate S$1,120 to the Community Chest over the weekend. The lump sum of $1,000 could have bought them 10,000 votes, according to Xinyi.

Each voter can cast up to 10 free votes for each drama series at the online polls. Should a fan wish to bump their idol or favourite character further up the ranks, votes can be purchased from the Facebook app at an additional value of approximately S$10 (equivalent to 100 votes).

Over a phone interview with xinmsn, Xinyi shared her stance on the online polls and said, “At least the Top 10 phone polls take place once a year and that is fine. However, this time round the online polls take place continuously.

Viewers are allowed to vote their favourite drama characters into the polls during the drama’s telecast period and voting will end a week after the last episode is aired. The top 5 characters with the highest number of votes will be shortlisted for a final round of voting in the Star Awards 2013.

“The intention of the system is good as it empowers the viewers however some form of moderation needs to be enforced,” quipped Xinyi, who suggested that it might be feasible to introduce a cap on the votes in future, and added, “We’re not trying to go against it [the system] but we just feel that we have to take a stand and express our disappointment with it.”

It is understood that the fanclub has given their feedback. When xinmsn contacted Paul Chan, VP for Channel Branding & Promotions, he expressed that they have done a check on the statistics. “The total amount of free and earned votes cast so far is double that of purchased votes and you’ll really need a lot of fan support to be in the top 5.”

When xinmsn last spoke to Rui En at the imaging session for C.L.I.F. 2, the actress commented on the online voting saga between Felicity and RBKD.

The apologetic actress expressed, “I hope next year’s voting period will not be as long to better allow fans to concentrate on their studies. It will be better if it [voting period] was shortened.”

According to Channel 8’s most recent update, The top three actresses in the lead now are Rebecca Lim (Feng Luo Ling in Poetic Justice) with 44,098 votes, Felicia Chin (Du Si Man from Don’t Stop Believin’) with 40,441 votes and Rui En (Liu Yan Zhi from Poetic Justice) with 34,699 votes.

After appearing as the cold and aloof female cop in Unriddle 2, Rui En takes on another police investigator role in the upcoming C.L.I.F. 2. This will be a sequel to the popular 2011 cop drama C.L.I.F., which garnered an average viewership of 924,000 people and bagged the show of the year award.

Rui En is joined by a star-studded lineup for the second series which includes the likes of Li Nanxing, Thomas Ong, Pierre Png and Eelyn Kok. They will be joined by Joanne Peh, Qi Yuwu and Aileen Tan from the original cast.

On her new role, Rui En shared that she was happy and shocked at the same as she did not dare to harbour any thoughts of scoring another cop role again, having acted as one previously.

She also expressed in the interview with xinmsn that she was interested in the crime industry and did some research before filming for Unriddle 2.

“Really excited” to be in this show, Rui En shared that she will be acting as Huang Zhijie, a character who entered the police force after witnessing her sister’s abduction and death at a young age. She also revealed that her character will be “less aloof” and “more feminine” than her previous role in Unriddle 2.

Rui En admitted that everyone role has its “own challenge” when asked on her thoughts on taking on yet another police character. “I have to challenge myself to adapt into the new role because everyone is more familiarised with the cold Hu Xiaoman [her role in Unriddle 2]. I’m very happy to be given the chance to try.”

She also spoke of her previous working experience with MediaCorp’s Ah Ge, Li Nanxing, in On The Fringe, and shared that their characters will be romantically-linked in this drama.

Currently on a month-long break after filming for Poetic Justice wrapped, the 31-year-old is on her first long break in three years. The actress shared that she intends to rest at home during this period of time and has no vacation plans at the moment.

Commenting on the recent online voting frenzy which saw Felicia Chin’s character in Don’t Stop Believin’ overtaking her Unriddle 2 character’s top spot in the Faovurite Actress category, Rui En said, “I hope next year’s voting period will not be as long to better allow fans to concentrate on their studies. It will be better if it was shorter.”
