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.

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).

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

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。

合作对像

询及有否想要合作的对象，黄俊雄说，“和每个人接触及擦出的火花是不一样的。”若可以选择，他希望可以和前辈如：郑惠玉、李铭顺、范文芳、郑斌辉等合作，“以前都是看他们的戏，若和他们合作，我会心跳加速。”至于，谁会是他觉得的“最佳拍档”，他毫不犹豫地选择了合作了7次，并在今年《红星大奖》一起拿了“最佳搭档奖”的瑞恩。“我们的粉丝都很喜欢我们在一起，因为我们在荧幕上有种特别的默契。” 而且，他不否认两人已算是“荧幕情侣”。

Who is Singapore’s top actor?

It is not Fann Wong, Zoe Tay or Qi Yuwu.

According to Sarcount, a newly launched online entertainment chart which measures popularity by social media engagement, Leon Jay Williams takes the top spot.

Starcount taps the top 11 social networks to gauge a celebrity’s popularity. This includes networks such as Facebook and Twitter that are familiar here, and the Chinese-language RenRen and Weibo networks that have a far stronger presence outside Singapore.

To measure popularity, the engine looks through the number of followers and fans on a brand’s or star’s social media account. Fan engagement is also taken into consideration, depending on how many fans have shared the brand’s or celebrity’s social network updates.

Personalities are also rated by how often they engage their fans through conversations on these social networks.

On the Singapore Actors chart, Williams is followed closely by Fann Wong, Huang Jinglun, Rui En and Jeanette Aw, actors more familiar to audiences here because they feature in local productions.

卢传君报道

瑞恩现实生活中频遭到本地报章媒体负面报道，对新剧的记者角色”又爱又恨”！

新传媒8频道新剧《微笑正义》即将开拍，瑞恩日前为戏定装，同时接受xinmsn专访。

与台湾偶像黄鸿升（小鬼）合作的重头剧《花样人间》才刚杀青几天，瑞恩就马不停蹄投入新剧《微笑正义》的准备工作。
受访时，她说，这是常态，自己也早已经习惯忙碌的生活了。

瑞恩在《微笑正义》饰演内向低调的生活时尚记者刘言之，将和戴阳天首次搭档演出感情戏。

性格安静 适合戴阳天

第一次和戴阳天合作，瑞恩坦言，跟他完全不熟，不过，也很期待两人的全新组合，希望能擦出新火花。

至于对戴阳天的印象如何，瑞恩直言，认为他是位”比较安静，和比较沉默寡言”的男艺人。

会担心两人合不来吗？

瑞恩笑答：”不会担心啊！其实我们反而应该更合得来，因为我跟他都一样安静，（搭档起来）应该不错。”

演记者倍感矛盾

谈起近期的负面报道，以及与报章记者的”不愉快经验”，瑞恩坦言，有时候也会觉得”记者为什么要写得那么过分”。

近日来的报道，有指瑞恩在《红星大奖》颁奖礼上摆”黑脸”，瑞恩针对此事表示，对于”断章取义，或者无中生有的报道”感到无奈。

因此，当瑞恩获知要饰演记者角色时，第一感觉就是矛盾。

瑞恩解释：”因为我本身就是被记者写的人啊，可是我又得去了解他们的世界，理解他们做某些事的原因。”

为了演好角色，瑞恩特别钻研记者行业，特别读了著名美国记者Mike Wallace的自传，准备在接下来拍摄的2个多月中好好”体验当记者的委屈”。

研究角色后，瑞恩总结，笑说：”我知道你们（指记者）是为了工作啦，可是有时候还是很烦！”
