One reason the Star Awards has been losing its lustre is the lack of fresh faces and talent on the showbiz scene.
Year in and year out, almost the same faces get voted onto the Top 10 most popular awards list – the most watched segment of the show.
So even though fresh faces like Fiona Xie, Felicia Chin, Rui En and Julian Hee have entered the scene, it has been an uphill task for them to make the Top 10 list and share the limelight.

FIRST, she screamed. Then, she cried. You would too, if you were Steph Song and looking for work.
On her part, Song has had work issues to grapple with before, when her role in MediaCorp sitcom Achar in 2003 put her at loggerheads with her co-star, Indian actor Jas Arora.
But MediaCorp replaced her with actress-singer Rui En in the second season of Achar and Song has heard that the show may not return.

Though ousted from the Star Awards, newcomer Ng Hui isn’t doing too badly.
SHE might be everywhere on TV, but that didn’t guarantee actress Ng Hui a popularity award at last month’s Star Awards.
And, she admits, it was embarrassing to have lost.
Although nominated for the newcomer category at the Star Awards on Dec 12, she was the first to be voted out from a group of five.
Joanne Peh took the award which was decided by a telepoll, and the other nominees were Felicia Chin, Rui En and Lim Yi Chyi.

Playing against type, glamourpuss Zoe Tay is quite funny as a hooligan. But will this role gain her thespian street cred?
TELEVISION
MY MIGHTY IN-LAWS
Channel 8 Weekdays, 9pm
Awards or no, we say Tay’s tomboy turn in this Channel 8 drama is well worth a watch.
As the ringleader of a group of hooligans, the actress seems to enjoy unleashing her character’s loudmouthed brashness.
Also putting in pleasantly surprising performances is the fresh-faced pair of Vincent Ng and Rui En.
The latter plays Tay’s step-daughter and the former plays her boyfriend. They make an unlikely couple, with the brawny Ng covering up his muscular physique for once to convey his character’s loveable geekiness.
Rui En’s character is an outspoken puppeteer, and the role showcases the actress-singer’s bubbly persona.
But all in all, a fun show to follow. Watch out for the finale next Tuesday.
