We're back to start another year of Fame fun! I've made a few changes to the logo and the colours just to give us a fresh look for the new year.
I hope everyone had a really wonderful Christmas and New Year period.
For those of you who feel the need to get back into shape after the holiday period, don't forget Nia Peeples 6 week fitness programme that is starting this month as Nia starts on the journey towards her 50th birthday in December. For more information and to join up go to:www.niapeeples.com/
Congratulations to Debbie Allen on the success of The Hot Chocolate Nutcracker, in which she featured along with Carlo Imperato. Debbie has vowed that the show will be back next Christmas and has won the Goldstar Nutty Award for the best Nutcracker production.
Debbie had the following to say on winning the award:
"I am Just over the moon to receive the news that our production has been voted by theater-going audiences as this year's winner of the Nutty Award. Incredible!"
Well due to the holiday period it may be a shorter month than normal but it's a packed month with our usual mix of interview, videos, mp3s, pictures etc.. We have the 3 final parts to the William Blinn interview. Part 3 goes live today and the other 2 videos will be spread over the rest of the month.
We also have a special in depth fan made documentary on Irene Cara, charting her life and career. Talking about Fame and how she was the first cast member from the film to be asked to do the TV series but turned the role down. It also charts her legal battles with the record company and her fight to her musical royalties. The documentary comes in 5 parts and part 1 will be posted tomorrow, with the other 4 parts going live throughout the month. Here's a preview video:
This months episode of the month is "Losin It" from season 5 and posts for that start tomorrow.
The big news for Janet Jackson fans is that her Number Ones Up Close and Personal Tour kicks off in February. Originally scheduled to start on Valentines day February 14th in Hong Kong, it has now been announced that the first date will be in Manila on February 4th. Then Singapore (February 7th), Hong Kong (14th), & Taipei (18th). More dates to be announced soon.
This tour will differ from her previous concert schedules in that she will perform music exclusively from her chart topping CD NUMBER ONES. There will also be a focus on venues that will allow Janet to be up close and personal in a much more intimate setting. This show is JANET more revealed, more intimate, and more personal than ever before.
Janet has expressed her excitement for the upcoming performance in Singapore by stating: “I’ve seen the world, been to many places :). . . the one thing missing was you. We’ll be together in Singapore on February 7th and I can’t wait to sing, dance, and be up close and personal with all of you. Your votes are helping me decide where to bring this very intimate, very different show. It’s not about effects, it’s not an extravaganza, it’s not about being as big as in the past. This one is all about you and me. I love you Singapore. Let’s go!”
