In ZZSF, Jeanette plays Zhao Fei Er, an aspiring starlet whose values get corrupted by the evils and temptations of the entertainment industry. In her quest to fame, she meets Fang Tong Lin (played by RE) – variety show producer cum host-turned-actress. The pair is managed under the same company (HYPE), but this is their first time working together.

Of course, JA is not the only one getting an entirely different role. RE shelves her usual tough chick onscreen persona and transforms into *gasp* an affable and chatty director with a goofy personality! To add a personal touch, RE got colourful accessories and small soft toys to illustrate the bubbly nature of Tong Lin.

Tong Lin shoots to fame after guest starring on a variety show. This is where the competition heats up as Fei Er and Tong Lin vie to become the TV station’s number 1 star!

As if one competition is not enough, Fei Er and Tong Lin get entangled in a love triangle with Jason (Qi Yu Wu), a director working in the station. Who will Jason choose in the end? Stay tuned to ‘The Dream Makers’ 《志在四方》, coming to you 24 June 2013, on Channel 8.

The Dream Makers 志在四方 debuts 24 June 2013 9pm on Channel 8.

He was a nobody.

Before he formally entered showbiz in Star Search 10, and shot to fame after starring in hit shows like “Don’t Stop Believin’” as well as “Joys of Life”, Romeo Tan was a nobody.

He was what industry people call a ‘calefare’, an extra.

However, things gradually improved after he appeared in his first Mandarin drama “Portrait of Home II”, and started getting bigger roles.

In just a few short years, he has garnered legions of fans, and had managed to snag an endorsement deal.

He is also involved in a myriad of projects, from MediaCorp’s first-ever cross-media drama “96C Café” which airs on April 29, to the upcoming drama “Sudden” alongside top actress Rui En.

Sudden 骤变 debuts 2 September 2013 9pm on Channel 8.

It’s time once again to see which celebs have risen above the ranks of their peers to secure an envied spot in the Top 20 (10 from each gender) Most Popular Male and Female Artistes. Will we see up-and-coming newcomers like Romeo Tan and Julie Tan appear alongside long-time hot favourites like Bryan Wong and Rui En? Only your votes have the power to decide.

In the past, results were based solely on telepoll results. But the game changed last year, when online voting was introduced. Now, the rankings are determined by a combination of 50% telepoll and 50% online votes. This potentially gives artistes with more tech-savvy supporters an edge over their counterparts who rely heavily on telepoll voting.

Should a tie occur on the night of the show itself (it is a very tight race this year), the final Top 20 will be decided based on results from a previous survey.

You’ve only got a few days left until the final list is announced, so we suggest getting all your friends and family together to help push your faves to the top. Then, remember to tune into Channel 8 on April 29 (Sunday) at 7pm to find out if your efforts paid off during the upcoming Star Awards 2013 ‘Show 2’.

In the meantime, check out our take on the Star Awards 2013 Top 20 Most Popular Artistes:

The Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes

Shoo- ins: Jeanette Aw, Rebecca Lim, Rui En, Yvonne Lim, Vivian Lai

It doesn’t take a psychic to predict that these leading ladies will emerge victorious when the results are announced on Sunday. Not only have they maintained rock solid positions in the Top 10 week in and week out, they’ve constantly proved their popularity with their past wins.

The well-liked Jeanette will receive an additional boost in the polls thanks to her likable roles in shows like Jump! and Rescue 995. The vivacious Vivian, as usual, never fails to charm viewers with her infectious hosting style, and has tons of high-exposure endorsement deals to back her up. Both artistes are just two trophies away from the coveted All-Time Favourite Artiste award, with eight wins each. As for Rui En… well, there’s no need to further emphasise on her soaring popularity and super supportive fan club, is there?

李铭顺与许美珍荧幕夫妻内心戏抢镜，本年夺视帝视后有望！本地娱乐盛事《红星大奖2013》第2场颁奖礼本星期日（28日）举行，xinmsn做出奖项预测。

《红星大奖2013》上个星期天举行了第1场颁奖礼，颁发了部分奖项，本周末进入倒数阶段。第2场颁奖礼将于滨海湾金沙隆重举行，颁发’最佳男女主角’、’最佳新人’与’十大最受欢迎男女艺人’等关键奖项。

今年的竞争十分激烈，不少入围者实力旗鼓相当，最终奖落谁家，实在难以定断，就算是再大的热门，也可能被黑马压下。经过多番讨论，xinmsn娱乐组为读者做出预测，选出今年可能脱颖而出的艺人！你的选择是否和我们一样？

最佳女主角
入围者：许美珍《注定》、白薇秀《再见单人床》、鐘琴《对对碰》、林慧玲《最火搭档2》、瑞恩《最火搭档2》

热门：许美珍《注定》

在《注定》中与李铭顺对戏，许美珍同样演得淋漓尽致，牵着观众情绪，让人目不转睛，广泛受到好评。依据《红星大奖》历年来的评审口味，许美珍要凭此角突围应该不难。

黑马：林慧玲《最火搭档2》、鐘琴《对对碰》

心理医生高婕妤，对胡小曼充满怨念，是个考演技的大反派角色，而林慧玲也确实高分过关，演绎深刻。虽然是第一次入围，但林慧玲成长有目共睹，已能独当一面，也曾获得《亚洲电视大奖》的视后殊荣肯定。一击即中，也并非不可能。

鐘琴暌违4年再担任戏剧要角，泼辣媳妇骂得投入，胜在演得自然，毫无距离感。

瑞恩为《最火搭档2》再挑战黑暗面，维持一贯水准，只是最后的英语对白令人疑惑。《再见单人床》角色对上届视后白薇秀来说不成问题，但与其他角色相比显得较弱。老实说，今年的’最佳女主角’入围者各有千秋，分数感觉会颇接近，相信评审和xinmsn一样，也是充满挣扎。

Every April, we dig deep into the recesses of our memories and scrutinise 2012’s TV dramas and variety shows to arrive at a consensus on who we think should take home top accolades at the annual Star Awards ceremony. Based on a variety of reasons – that range from emotional performances to the role’s depth – coupled with rounds of analytics arguments, we’ve arrived at a possible list of actors who may walk away victorious this Sunday.

Read on for our take on this year’s Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Variety Show Host, Best Info-Ed Programme Host and Best Newcomer award.

Best Actress nominees: Cynthia Koh (Show Hand), Joanne Peh (Pillow Talk), Kym Ng (It Takes Two), Rebecca Lim (Unriddle 2), Rui En (Unriddle 2)

We say: Cynthia Koh
This was a tough decision to make and the team was torn between Cynthia Koh’s realistic performance and Rebecca Lim’s riveting one. Both were good in their own ways but we eventually decided – after studying trends based on past years’ winners – that Cynthia is in a better position for winning top honours this weekend.

Kudos to Cynthia for her believable portrayal as a troubled and longsuffering gambling addict’s wife – and for going on TV with a bare face. No stranger to this award category, having previously nailed her first win in 1999 for Stepping Out (she was also nominated in 1996 for Tofu Street), Cynthia’s a method actress who never fails to live up to expectations.

While this may not be her first housewife role, it’s her best so far – thanks to her character’s sob story background and the premises’ unpredictable twist. First she’s a forsaken wife who chops her finger off to repay her husband’s gambling debts, then a helpless mother who has to deal with two rebellious teens, and before you know it, she’s a gambling addict in-the-making. And if this character transformation doesn’t warrant a Best Actress win, we don’t know what will.

Dark horse: Rebecca Lim and Kym Ng
Rebecca has enjoyed a relatively good year overall with her screen presence on the rise on TV and online – a trend that will continue well into the year.

Out of three major TV roles in 2012, her most unforgettable performance has to be as Gao Zhi Jie, a psychopathic doctor in Unriddle 2. Rebecca stepped out of her usual girl-next-door roles to embrace her dark side in the thriller series and – surprise, surprise! – we never knew she had it in her to play such a badass creep.

Kym Ng may play a seemingly ordinary housewife-hawker character in It Takes Two, but the actress took to her role like a fish to water. As a repressed Luo Na, it’s not hard to see how the actress managed to connect with TV audience through her natural and performance.
