《红星大奖2012》网络奖项入围名单公布，新生代方伟杰、吴劲威和谢静仪，对上人气火红的黄俊雄和瑞恩，势必掀起激烈网上投票热潮！

至于”最喜爱女角色”，凭着《边缘父子》的阿雅入围的谢静仪，将与人气女王瑞恩（《乐在双城》章雅乐）来场硬战。后者是去年的冠军，粉丝们肯定会尽全力让她蝉联。

入围名单中还出现台湾艺人王心如（《阿娣》林珊珊）。虽然《阿娣》的播出令她本地人气大增，但要脱颖而出并非易事。

角逐这个奖项的还有郭舒贤（《甘榜情》冯月满）和刘芷绚（《行医》敏妃）。

“最喜爱荧幕情侣”是读者可以投选的另一个奖项。

瑞恩今年可说是满载而归，除了与好搭档黄俊雄入围（《正义武馆》欧可璐和宋亚仔）也与方展发一同角逐（《麻婆斗妇》王佳珍和萧建海），获胜机率不小。

有趣的是，荧幕夫妻范文芳（《边缘父子》田一邦（李南星）和刘佳芳）和李铭顺（《行医》敏妃（刘芷绚）和国恩）这次竟然成了竞争对手。

另一对入围的是《警徽天职》的廖心怡（白薇秀）和唐耀佳（戚玉武）。

所有网络奖项将透过网路投选，成绩完全由公众决定。投选期为3月1日至4月22日，成绩将在《红星大奖2012》颁奖礼首晚公布。

技术性专业奖项今早也同时公布，届时将由海内外专业同行进行评选，再由审计师审核统计结果。

加上日前公布的入围作品与艺人名单，《边缘父子》与《阿娣》最风光，分别入围12各奖项！

瑞恩在新传媒8频道新剧《花样人间》挑战温顺角色，称煮饭、切菜可能需要用替身！

年中重头剧《花样人间》前天（6日）举行开镜仪式，剧中众演员包括周初明、瑞恩、黄文永、林梅娇、陈罗密欧、郑各评、陈莉萍、陈邦鋆、庞蕾馨、姚玟隆、潘玲玲、陈泰铭、洪乙心齐齐出席。参演的两位台湾艺人黄鸿升（小鬼）和王心如则还未抵新。

《花样人间》讲述60年代时，住在花香街一栋旧楼里的几户人家，和他们在生活中天天上演的不同戏码。

瑞恩在剧中饰演韩家养女咏咏，从小被父母当作男孩子带大，打扫、煮饭样样难不倒她。

“我很紧张，因为是我比较不习惯演的角色。她比较温顺，很会做家务、很会煮饭。这两样东西对我来讲，已经很有挑战性了。”

瑞恩也透露，她特地去学煮饭和切东西，但是由于练习的时间不够，有些镜头还是必须用上替身。

瑞恩将在剧中，与两位台湾演员有不少对手戏。

有机会与小鬼、王心如同台飙戏，瑞恩表示：”这次有新的搭档，应该可以擦出新的火花。”

她补充，之前有看过小鬼主持的综艺节目，也曾观赏过王心如在去年的8频道大戏《阿娣》中的演出。

意想不到会入围《红星大奖》

今年，瑞恩凭8频道电视剧《乐在双城》的”拜金女”一角，再次入围《红星大奖》的”最佳女主角奖”。

她淡淡地说：”（入围）很意想不到，因为我本来以为说，今年是没有办法入围。我完全没有期待任何东西。”

至于胜算如何，瑞恩直接表白地回答”零”，看来她认为自己能够连桩的机率不高。她也看好郭舒贤，觉得凭着她在《万福楼》的演出，应该有机会被封”视后”。

当天的开镜仪式特地请来了舞狮团助兴。

瑞恩则饰演钱家失散多年的女儿，是钱一多（张耀栋饰）的孪生姐姐。

瑞恩饰演的韩咏咏是韩健仁（黄文永饰）和刘黛玉（林梅娇饰）的养女。另外，韩健仁的第二个女儿韩柔柔由台湾演员王心如担纲。

瑞恩饰演韩咏咏，从小被父母当男孩子带大，是个打扫、煮饭样样精通的女生。

瑞恩和陈丽萍继《最火搭档》系列后，再度联手，这次饰演一对失散多年的母女。

Caldecott Hill’s princesses Rui En and Joanne Peh go head-to-head in Best Actress nominations for their roles in Channel 8 drama ‘A Tale of 2 Cities’

This just in: Nominees of Star Awards 2012 unveiled.

Despite being touted as 2011’s year-end blockbuster, Ch8 drama A Song to Remember not only ended with dismal ratings, but also failed to bag any Best Actor or Best Actress nominations. On a brighter note, it garnered double nominations in the Best Supporting Actor category as well as one nomination each for Best Drama Serial and Best Theme Song categories.

Instead, the drama’s lead actress Joanne Peh got nominated for Best Actress for her role in A Tale of 2 Cities, going up against last year’s Best Actress winner Rui En, who also got nominated for her role in the same drama.

This year, the pair will have to vie for the award with Caldecott Hill’s Ah Jies Zoe Tay, Fann Wong and Ann Kok, who are nominated for their roles in Devotion, On the Fringe and Bountiful Blessings respectively.

To commemorate her 31st birthday, the starlet was gifted with a one-of-a-kind birthday present by her fanclub

Text: Joanna Goh

To celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year festivities and present Rui En with a one-of-a-kind birthday gift (she turns 31 on Jan 29) — that aligned with her volunteering efforts — members of RBKD (Rui En’s official fanclub) visited a group of 176 old folks living in Teck Ghee.

To spread the festive cheer, they also distributed home-baked cookies, pineapple tarts, festive goodies and other decorative murals.

In a short note to her fans on their online forum back in 2010, Rui En wrote: “BTW, for my birthday next year, I’m serious about not wanting a single gift or card. Instead, I would rather you make those things or put that effort into volunteering even if it’s for one day.”

Respecting their idol’s wishes, RBKD fanclub president Peh Xinyi shared with xinmsn in a phone interview that they the members “preferred to show their support” for her in such ways and started doing volunteer work last year.

“It’s more meaningful and a good way to make use of such times to contribute back to the community. It’s a positive influence on each other and a gift that she will like since she is very active in volunteering when she’s not filming,” Xinyi shared.

In order to roll out sufficient pineapple tarts and cookies for the 176 old folks, two groups of RBKD members spent three to four days tolling away in the kitchen.

They bought the pineapple paste and rolled the dough from scratch as Xinyi recalled, “Everyone was so sick and tired of pineapple tarts after spending two consecutive 12-hour days in the kitchen — we just wanted to buy the remaining bottles when we only managed to churn out 120 bottles of tarts.

“Eventually we persisted and finished off with 180 bottles because I told them if we were to buy the remaining bottles and opt for the leisurely route, sometime down the road we might regret not seeing through everything.”

After she learnt of their volunteer efforts, Rui En left an online message to members of RBKD on their forum: “Just back from another overnight with two more to go over the next 2 days. Am exhausted physically, emotionally and mentally. But you guys are just wonderful. Keep it up.”

In two small groups, RBKD members gathered in a member’s house to bake pineapple tarts and butter cookies for the old folks.

Unlike last year’s charity drive which saw them delivering rice and various dry goods to these old folks, RBKD wanted to tie-in their visit with food stuff related to Chinese New Year.

RBKD president Peh Xinyi shared, “I thought trying to bake it ourselves was more sincere than buying. It was most of the members’ first time baking pineapple tarts too; apart from the pineapple paste which we bought, we did everything else from scratch.”

Their efforts spanned over the course of three days paid off and the members managed to hit their target of making 180 bottles of tarts and cookies each.

The participants from RBKD consisted of schooling students, young adults and even mothers. On their volunteer efforts, Xinyi said, “When I organise this, I try to organise it in such a way that they will have a different volunteer experience. And hopefully next time when they are at school, they will also be more motivated to do community work. It’s a good way for us to grow personally as well.”

Apart from their homemade pineapple tarts and butter cookies, the fanclub also bought two bottles of Chinese New Year snacks, four cans of coke, two oranges and two small dragon decorations to spread the festive cheer amongst the old folks.

Unlike their visit last year which saw the members donning their fanclub’s official black t-shirt, they decided to wear brighter colours to appear less intimidating.

After a hard day’s work, the 30 odd volunteers gathered for a mini lou hei session to wrap up the day’s activities.

小兵立大功，《四个门牌一个梦》夺2011年电视剧 收视冠军！

2011年收视排行榜出炉，最获全城讨论的《四个门 牌一个梦》，毫无置疑地成为8频道9点档的收视冠 军，每集平均吸引超过94万人（4岁以上）追看。

这部探讨邻里之间关系，反映不少民生问题的作 品，以轻松节奏与观众产生共鸣，收视成绩让人眼 前一亮，确实为小兵立大功。

8频道去年推出了更多不同主题与类别的的戏剧， 突破90万观众大关的9点档戏剧比前年多出一倍。

与警方紧密合作，呈献多场精彩动作画面的《警徽天职》，也获得本地观众的青睐，以92万 4000的平均观众人数排第二。

拍摄手法具有韩剧色彩的《行医》，受到年轻族群的喜爱推崇，播出时即攻势强劲，击败较 早播出的其他剧集，最后凭91万5000的平均观众人数抢到季军宝座。

《边缘父子》网上轰动

《乐在双城》和《边缘父子》分别排第4和第5。值得一提的是，《边缘父子》造就了一群少 年演员的爆红，在网路上造成轰动，并在xinmsn的 Catch-Up TV上吸引超过100万的点播次 数。

贵为年度重头剧的《星洲之夜》，虽然费了不少心思打造怀旧场景，却在收视率上失利，仅 赢《生日快乐》。这不仅让人想起前年的《破天网》，似乎历史重演。

至于8频道7点档，继台湾长寿剧《爱》结束后，本地剧集收复失地，《甘榜情》与《正义 武馆》展现众演员在马国多月拍摄的成果，年代剧别有一番风味。

8频道2011最受欢迎9点电视剧 Top 9pm Drama（P4+ Average Reach 平均观众人数）

By Joyce J.Chansingh

The drama series drew flak for emphasising conflict between Singaporeans and foreigners, yet garnered top spot in MediaCorp’s 2011 annual list of top dramas of the year.

Now, what’s a drama without the drama? Just ask Love Thy Neighbour. Amid the hullabaloo over its scripted dialogue and representation of locals and foreigners, Ch 8’s Love Thy Neighbour which starred Felicia Chin, Shaun Chen and Hong Kong veteran actor Ha Yu attracted a whopping average viewership of 941,000 making it the most-watched drama of 2011.

Second on the chart of 2011’s most watched Ch8 drama was police drama series C.L.I.F starring Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu, earning an average viewership of 924,000. Also joining the ranks of dramas that had successfully crossed the 900,000 viewership mark were: The Oath, starring Christopher Lee and Jesseca Liu, and A Tale of 2 Cities starring Rui En coming in at 3rd and 4th placing respectively. On the Fringe, a popular youth-oriented drama that dealt with delinquency issues and the rise of juvenile gangs, and starred budding young local stars Edwin Goh,Ian Fang, Kimberly Chia and Elizabeth Lee, took the 5th spot. The well-liked drama was also most-watched drama on xinmsn’s Catch-Up TV, receiving 1.3 million streams during its run.

Ch8’s blockbuster drama series, however failed to live up to their hype and expectations. Devotion, a mid-year blockbuster series that marked Ah Jie Zoe Tay’s return to the drama scene and headlined by a strong cast of veteran actors such as Chen Hanwei and Terence Cao only managed to achieve a 9th placing with 829,000 average views. The same fate goes to A Song To Remember, a cabaret-styled period drama touted as 2011’s year-end blockbuster series. Starring Joanne Peh, Eelyn Kok and Qi Yuwu, the drama narrowly squeezed through the Top 10 ranks and settled for 10th placing with an average of 827,000 views.

On the other hand, still riding the wave of cult popularity was Taiwanese long-running drama Love, which maintained its dominance on the 7pm primetime belt chart on Ch8. scoring top spot with an average of 831,000 views. Local nostalgic drama Kampong Ties set in the 60s and 70s as well as the recently concluded martial arts drama Code of Honour took the 3rd and 4th placing respectively.

Ch8 Top 9pm Drama Average Viewership

1. Love Thy Neighbour 941,000

Felicia Chin might be out of sight, but she is definitely not out of mind.

Well, at least amongst the youths.

The saccharine sweet former girl-next-door of MediaCorp might have left the glitzy world of showbiz to hit some books of late, but Felicia proved that she has still got the star appeal at the third m:idea Youth Choice Awards (MYCA) held on Jan 13 at Zouk.

Nominated in the “Hottest Celebrity I wanna Date” category of the awards, the former actress emerged top in the online polls – participated by over 91,000 youths in a month long voting period – to bag the award last week, after trailing behind in the popularity votes for the past three years in the same category.

Felicia was in the running for the same category as perennial favourites Joanne Peh and Rui En.
