"I Have No Intention Of Going Back To Having The Body Of A 14 Year Old Boy"
Beware, body-shamers — call someone fat and you may be the one getting shamed instead. Just ask the Playboy model who fat-shamed a naked woman at her gym. Or RUI EN, who, after putting on 7kg for a role and getting flak for looking heavier, tells us it’s time to “open a dialogue” in Singapore about body-shaming. Is 2016 the year we banish fat-shaming and accept that people come in all shapes and sizes?

Homecoming Princess
Look out, everyone! FIONA XIE is baaaack! Sorta. We think. The erstwhile Mediacorp Princess, who came home to shoot a Ch 5 drama, isn’t exactly sure how back she is, although she does say: “Now that I’m back…” Oh, Fiona, always leaving us wondering. Did seven years away make her older and wiser? Or is she still the same coquettish minx? In this cover story and with these sexy pics, Miss Xie scratches our seven-year itch. Also, now that she’s (kinda) back, are the Seven Princesses relevant again?
