Star Awards will celebrate its 30th anniversary in July with a nostalgic show lineup
The first Star Awards took place in 1994 with just eight trophies given out in the same number of categories. This year, the annual ceremony honouring the best in Singapore's Chinese entertainment celebrates its 30th anniversary with many more awards than that to give out, as well as a show filled with nostalgia and memories. To be held on Jul 6 at The Theatre at Mediacorp, the awards and fashion extravaganza will take the theme 'Walking Through Time Together'. To commemorate three decades of Star Awards, familiar faces long retired from the screen will make an appearance, alongside celebrity guests from around Asia. All-Time Favourite Artistes throughout the years will come together for a big reunion, while a live orchestra will perform iconic drama theme songs. And, not only will artistes past and present share their stories and memories; viewers will also have a chance to share, revealed Jean Toh, Mediacorp's Vice President, Chinese Entertainment Productions and executive producer of Star Awards 2025. On the red carpet, artistes will be challenged to up their outfit game as there will also be viewer participation this year in the form of a 'fashion police' element involving interactive posts and voting, as well as a live call-in backstage segment. Red carpet walkers will, however, be collectively overshadowed by a a giant, larger-than-life Star Awards trophy 30 times the size of the real thing. WHO ARE THE NOMINEES? Nominees for the 2025 Star Awards were announced on May 20 with a mix of predictable veterans and new faces in the performance categories. In the running for Best Actor are Christopher Lee for his work in the drama Kill Sera Sera; Andie Chen (Born to Shine); Qi Yuwu (Once Upon a New Year's Eve); Richie Koh (Coded Love); and, nominated for the first time, Gavin Teo for his role in To Be Loved. Up for Best Actress are Chantalle Ng (Hope Afloat), Felicia Chin (I Do, Do I?), Hong Ling, Jesseca Liu (Unforgivable) and Jessica Hsuan (Kill Sera Sera). Best Supporting Actor nominees are Guo Liang (To Be Loved), Pierre Png (Moments), Xu Bin (Kill Sera Sera), Chen Hanwei and Chen Shu Cheng (Unforgivable). Meanwhile, Emerald Hill's Tasha Low scored her first nomination in an acting category for her work in Coded Love, alongside Cynthia Koh (Hope Afloat), Lynn Lim (Kill Sera Sera), Meixin (Born to Shine) and Ya Hui (Coded Love). "When I heard that I was nominated, I asked my manager, 'Are you sure?' Because I never thought I'd be nominated for an acting award," said Low. "I think I still have a lot to improve on, so it's a real honour." In the Best Rising Star category, nominees are Herman Keh, Joey Tay, Juin Teh, Tyler Ten and Ye Jia Yun. The drama that leads with the most number of nominations is crime drama Unforgivable, with 10 gongs including Best Drama Serial and Best Theme Song; followed by parenting-focused drama Born to Shine with seven nominations. WHAT ELSE IS NEW? The awards ceremony this year will see some fresh, new changes. One bit of news is that this year, the post-show party will return after a hiatus of six years, giving viewers a glimpse into candid moments and backstage reactions. Criteria for eligibility for some awards has shifted. In the category of the Top 10 Most Popular Artistes Award, for the first time, artistes who are nominees of any performance-based award will automatically qualify to run for the popularity award in the same year. Artistes who play the lead role or main host in a series with at least two episodes, as well as artistes who have a total of at least 13 episodes in a combination of roles, will also be eligible. Meanwhile, the Most Popular Rising Star award is for artistes with five or fewer years of experience, but now, artistes who receive the award three times will automatically be bumped up into the main Top 10 Most Popular Artiste Award category. And, the Best Rising Star award now allows for repeat nominations, as long as nominees continue to have five or fewer years of experience and have not won in the same category. Public voting is now open for the categories of Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes and Most Popular Rising Star awards, while other categories will open for voting on May 26. There's even a chance for voters to win something. Those who cast votes in the BYD Favourite Character categories will stand a chance to win a new BYD Sealion 7, an all-electric SUV valued at S$94,888.

Melissa Rivers is done with 'Fashion Police.' She still has opinions on the Met Gala.
Melissa Rivers thinks this year's Met Gala dress code — 'Tailored for You' — was hard for the ladies. On the (well-fashioned) heels of the May 5 event, which focused on menswear and dandyism connected to the museum's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' exhibition, the Fashion Police alum shared her picks for best dressed with Yahoo Entertainment. 'It was really a year of honoring men, which I think is great. It was a tough year on the women,' said Rivers, who is producing the May 13 NBC special Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute in honor of her late mom, the comedian and red carpet trailblazer. Nonetheless, she still hands out high marks to several women. 'I think the one that got the memo and got it right was Tracee Ellis Ross. Nailed it,' Rivers said. 'She went with the time period, the suiting, the tailoring, but elevated it to a Met Gala level,' which she reminded is 'not just another red carpet' but 'high couture fashion runway as art.' Others she felt understood the assignment and delivered were Janelle Monáe, Mindy Kaling and Rihanna, who she gave extra props for not just hitting the mark but doing so while pregnant. 'For a lot of the women, there was beautiful tailoring and beautiful suits,' Rivers said. 'Otherwise, these women could have been on any red carpet in gorgeous suits.' An example of that she gave was Zendaya, who wore a custom three-piece white Louis Vuitton suit. (We also gave the Euphoria star rave reviews.) 'Zendaya is always perfect,' Rivers said. 'Between the talent, the face, the body, the style, everything. The suit was amazing. It fit impeccably. The hat was perfect. But we could have seen [that outfit] on any runway or any red carpet. That's all of them.' Rivers was 'surprised by how few' women took the road of Christian Dior's 'New Look,' the designer's iconic 1947 collection that revolutionized women's fashion, 'because that was simultaneous and about the tailoring as well. 'You saw Nicole Kidman do that,' Rivers said. 'Monica Barbaro. Whitney Peak did a Chanel that was exactly on [point]' and took over 385 hours to craft. Having revolutionized red carpets with her mother, Rivers knows 'the Met Gala … is for professionals only.' Rivers has 'mixed feelings' about influencers who are now on the invite list for the exclusive event. 'The world is moving so fast, and these influencers are coming in and out of style so fast," Rivers said. "I don't know if they have a place on the Met Gala red carpet. I think there's a level that you have to be so established or so important in that particular cultural moment that you can be there. ... Just because you're this year's big influencer doesn't, to me, give you the right to be at the Met Gala." That also extends to replacing established media outlets that have long covered the carpet. Influencers "shouldn't shut out the tried-and-true ... outlets that are really here for the long run and have a proven track record in years of [covering] it just because you're this year's big influencer," she said. "But they got it, so maybe I'm doing something wrong," she laughed. Rivers is also seasoned enough to know that "everything is timing … and right now is the time of the influencer." This year was also the time for men to shine at the gala, with the theme leaning in their favor. For the first time, the gala was cochaired by all Black men: A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo and Lewis Hamilton. 'The men had fun — and they all looked great,' Rivers said. 'It's time we let the men have a night anyway.' airs May 13 on NBC. An uncensored version streams the next day on Peacock.

Rihanna And Ciara Reunite At Met Gala 14 Years After Fiery Twitter Exchange
The two pop stars, once known for their fiery Twitter exchange, crossed paths at the Met Gala 2025 and posed together for photos. After years of keeping their distance, Rihanna and Ciara finally shared a warm moment together at the 2025 Met Gala. The two pop stars, once known for their fiery Twitter exchange, crossed paths at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5 and posed together for photos. Inside the event, Ciara was seen smiling as she placed her hand on Rihanna's baby bump. Just hours before the gala, Rihanna had revealed that she and A$AP Rocky are expecting their third child. This time, the Fenty Beauty founder let her bump take the spotlight in a striking all-black outfit, later joking to Access Hollywood, 'I feel a lot better that I don't have to suck my stomach in anymore." Ciara, who attended the gala with her husband, NFL player Russell Wilson, also posed for a group photo with Rihanna and A$AP. Speaking about the interaction during her appearance on Sherri, Ciara called the moment 'sweet" and praised Rihanna, saying, 'I just have to shout her out because I'm so proud of her." This photo of Ciara and Rihanna 😍 — @𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗯𝗼𝘆 (@OneJoblessBoy) May 7, 2025 She went on to share some light-hearted details from their conversation. 'This is her third baby she's having now. We were cracking up talking about… cinco. You know I have four. So Russell starts talking about cinco. So we start talking about quatro for her, but she's gotta get through the tres (Spanish for three) first. The third baby first," Ciara said. While the photos may have seemed like a first reunion, Ciara revealed that Rihanna had already reached out to her privately. 'I got a sweet DM a few months back. She said she was so proud of me. I'm proud of her, too. She is rocking it in such a great way," Ciara shared. Their interaction was a notable change from the headlines they once made back in 2011. Their feud began after Ciara appeared on E!'s Fashion Police and mentioned that she had an awkward run-in with Rihanna, despite having admired her fashion. Rihanna responded on Twitter with a now-infamous line: 'My bad Ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme." Ciara shot back with, 'Trust me Rhianna u don't want to see me on or off the stage." Rihanna then responded, 'Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of." Things got settled real quickly as Rihanna issued an apology soon after. 'Ciara baby, I love u girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's y I retaliated this way! So sorry," she wrote. Ciara replied saying they should 'chat in person." Although they hadn't been photographed together since the Grammys event in 2010, the two have exchanged friendly messages in the years since. In 2018, Ciara wished Rihanna a happy birthday and praised her journey. This year's Met Gala moment showed just how far they have come. Both stars now juggle busy careers and motherhood. Ciara and Russell Wilson share four children – Future Zahir, Sienna Princess, Win Harrison and Amora Princess. Rihanna and A$AP's growing family is soon to welcome a new member. The couple is already parents to sons RZA Athelston and Riot Rose. First Published:

Shining bright light diamonds — together. Pregnant Rihanna and Ciara happily reunited at the 2025 Met Gala over a decade after they got into an explosive argument on Twitter. The pair took pictures together in New York on Met Gala Monday. Ciara, 39, rested her hand on Rihanna's baby bump, after the 'Umbrella' singer, 37, revealed her third pregnancy at the event. 12 Ciara and Rihanna at the Met Gala The Met Museum/Vogue 12 Ciara holds Rihanna's baby bump at the Met Gala on May The Met Museum/Vogue Both stars were dressed to the nines for the Met Gala.

Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Rihanna's feud with Ciara started in 2011 over comments that Ciara made on E!'s 'Fashion Police.' At the time, Ciara told the late Joan Rivers that Rihanna 'wasn't the nicest' to her when they crossed paths at a party. 'It's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done with fashion,' the '1,2 Step' singer said. 'I've run into her before but this time it wasn't the most pleasant run-in.' 12 Ciara at the 'Station Invasion Concert Tour' in New York in Aug. 2011. Getty Images Rihanna responded to Ciara on Twitter (now X), writing, 'My bad ci, did i 4get to tip u?' 'Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off the stage,' Ciara wrote back, to which Rihanna replied, 'U gangsta huh? Haaa…Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.' 12 Rihanna at Coachella Music Festival in April 2011.

That's y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup.' Ciara accepted Rihanna's apology, writing, 'Rhi u know its always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. you threw me off in that party! Apology accepted. Let's chat in person.' 12 Ciara, Rihanna at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Getty Images for NARAS However, their feud was reignited two years later after Rihanna shared a clip of her and her friend laughing at Ciara's 'Body Part.' 'I thought everything was cool because I actually saw Rihanna two years ago at the MET Gala after we had the little small back and forth and from what I recall everything was cool,' Ciara told Chicago's 107.5 FM at the time. 12 Rihanna, Ciara and Patti Labelle at the 2007 World Music Awards.

'If you would have asked me about her up until this point I would have nothing but good things to say because I'm really happy for her. But I didn't receive what they did from a positive place.' The singers appeared to be on good terms again come Feb. 2018, when Ciara wished Rihanna a happy birthday on Twitter. 'Remembering the 1st time we met. It's been cool to see you kill it! Keep on soaring ma!' Ciara's message read.
