In an attempt to make updating the site quicker, at least with regards to adding new pictures, I've installed a gallery script. All the pictures from each of the picture links will, at some point, be uploaded to the new gallery. Some of them are there already but there is still a lot to do.

There are, however, some new images that I've already uploaded to the gallery. The list of new additions is below.

SERIES
Bring Back Fame
Designing Women - P.R. Paul
7th Heaven - Graham Jarvis
Lifetime Intimate Portrait: Debbie Allen
Friends - Carlo Imperato

MOVIE
The images in the links below are from the special features found on one of the Fame movie DVDs.

I've also uploaded the old wallpaper that I had available on here previously.

Guests can view the gallery but in order to rate and/or comment on images, you would need to register an account.

RTÉ Television and Screentime ShinAwil have launched Ireland's biggest ever musical theatre talent search.

The search, which will be featured in the 10-week television show 'Fame The Musical', aims to find male and female stars for a nationwide tour of the West End production.

Leading the search for the new musical theatre stars will be stage producer Robert C Kelly, actor and director Simon Delaney and actress and singer Erica Gimpel, who starred as Coco Hernandez in the original 'Fame' television series.

Michael Hoey's book Inside Fame on Television is now available for purchase at the MacFarland Publishing website or Amazon.com.

Hi everyone,
this is Greg's story about her Fame-filled experience last December. She went to see Nia, Jesse and Cynthia on two of the three concerts they held in Italy. The shows took place:
on FRY 4TH at DISCOCLUB LE PALAFITTE – SULZANO (BS);
on SAT 5TH at FUORIORARIO – TANETO DI GATTATICO (RE);
on SAT 12TH at TABATA DISCOCLUB – SESTRIERE (TO).
Greg was at the last two shows.

Greg (that is, Barbara) is an old member of the FameForever forum who has not the chance to surf the net as often as she would like to...also, she claims her english is too rusty (which of course it isn't ), so I volunteered to translate her story for you all. Enjoy!

FameForever friends…those who remember me and those who don’t know me…though I can’t participate in the forum like I used to anymore, I can’t help sharing with you the joy and the enormous luck that befell on me lately, on two occasions that will stay with me forever…
One of my lifetime dreams came true and my eyes still sparkle…who would have possibly thought that, more than 20 years later, I’d have had the chance of seeing, listening to, meeting, and most of all sharing some moments with Nia Peeples, Jesse Borrego and Cynthia Gibb, some of our Kids from Fame??

OK Magazine is having a contest to win a Fender Starcaster Electric Guitar as well as the recently released Fame 2009 DVD.

 I ran across the following video of an 8 year old Irene Cara singing on Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour show in 1967.

Michael Cerveris did a radio interview earlier today with Robin Milling of Blog Talk Radio.com's Let's Do Lunch! Listen to the interview here.
Cerveris chats with Milling about everything from how he came to shave his head, why he named his dog Gibson, nudity on stage and blogging about it, to 'faking it;' all while dining over dim sum at John's Shanghai in the heart of the theater district.

Also, Michael is currently starring in the play In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play as Dr. Givings.
