Beyonce and her new album '4'

The release date on Beyonce’s new album ’4′ is June 27th but as  usual these days the album has sort of leaked prior to release and we’re not talking just a couple of tracks here but an entire album. A lot of big name stars are aware of this leakage phenomenom prior to release and names such as Britney Spears and Lady GaGa recently have done these free listening sessions where you can listen to the entire album online for free, a sort of try before you buy to try and counteract this problem.

It was reported by NME today that Beyonce many not be taking the try before you buy route but may reschedule the album release date to counteract this problem, as in moving it forward, it could be a possibility.

NME had this to say:

Shortly after that it emerged that a 12-track, CD-quality leak of the standard edition of the record had taken place. It is not yet known whether Beyonce’s record company will respond to the leak by bringing forward the album’s release date. Beyonce headlines Glastonbury later this month”.

This is what Beyonce had to say according to rap-up.com

Kim Kardashian causes total chaos in London with new fragrance launch!

A new fragrance launch took place today in Central London and it’s a Kim Kardashian number. The venue was Debenhams in Oxford St and somebody called FJ decided to attend this event and see what the fuss is all about and get a couple of shots and say hello, can’t be more than 100 or so people there surely. Nice easy job……….in…click click…hi and out?

How wrong I was? Got there 12.20 and it started at 12 not a good start. Apparently fans waited outside Debenhams as early as 2 in the morning to meet Kim to get a glimpse and before the event. There were hundreds and with only 150 VIP passes (if you buy the perfume very clever) that give you any chance of seeing her you just know chaos is just around the corner especially as she is only here for 2 days and this is her 2nd day and the last time she was here seem to remember was September last year.

If you were in the press area (ha ha) you were laughing, if you were not, in some places the crowd was 20 people deep. Try the back entrance same problem there.At one stage fans were getting a bit manic and two policeman turned up to help the security guards to keep the KK fans under control. Total chaos not to mention the manic screaming?

Back to what the event was all about and that’s the launch of her new fragrance. Here’s some highly detailed information gleaned whilst at the event as the very nice very attractive promo girls couldn’t stop  spraying the stuff everywhere.

1.. It’s in a sort of black bottle although the promo stuff was in a purple one?
2. Initial reaction to the smell is “Sweet”

Got to say though as much as I like Kim the fragrance wasn’t cutting it here at all. Wasn’t impressed but that’s coming from a non fragrance expert Regardless will probably sell shed loads. She heads back to the states today and normality and peace will return to Debenhams! Check out the purple and orange Gucci ensemble pics below.

Famefad has just joined Twit Pic this morning! For those who use Twitter you will already know it’s a sort of photo twitter that works in line with your Twitter account something like Flickr where you can store your photos.

Currently a mere 4 photos from yesterdays Glamour Awards which FJ was at last night in London including Keri Hilson, Tulisa of N Dubz, Fearne Cotton and Alexandra Burke. These are photos that are not quite good enough for this site for whatever technical reason but people may still be interested in as they are still worth showcasing.

The link to this famefad at twitpic is http://twitpic.com/photos/famefad or via our Twitter feed. FJ will be attending more celebrity events in the future. This is an important announcement as this does have the potential to broadcast and publish photos at the same time as the press.

Part of some interesting changes going on behind the scenes at Famefad!

She said about her clobber featuring her album cover

“I was quite certain everyone was going to love that cover, but you never know. You have to be willing to take the darts and take the bullets for what you believe in, but my heart is still beating very strong, so I can take all the bullets,”

The event was held in a glorified  massive tent and the carpet was green. This event rewards women in various spheres and endeavours over the past year.

Tom Hanks and the Larry Crowne Film Premiere London. Photos and Videos!

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks was in town (London) yesterday for the premiere of “Larry Crowne” a comedy drama film. The event was held at the Westfield Shopping Centre in West London last night

This produced a decent sized star  turn out  with big names including David Hasselhoff (The Hoff), Elen Rives, Katie Waissel( X Factor), Kerry Katona, K T Tunstall (musician), Melody Thornton and Nicola McLean, Ronnie Wood (Rolling Stones)  and Sophie Ellis Bextorof music fame. No Julia Roberts though! If you’ve seen Tom Hanks at film premieres he’s an absolute scream and a character. Quality actor and highly rated.. Seem to remember he’s an Aston Villa football fan, correct me on the famefad  Twitter if i’m wrong?

Larry Crowne Film Premiere Photos Westfield London

Film Details. This film is written by Nia Vardalos and Tom Hanks and directed by Tom Hanks and also stars Tom Hanks. You could say Mr Hanks has a vested interest in this film as his name is plastered all over it. Also stars Julia Roberts so we have some serious weight here in acting terms. Is there Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts chemistry…..that’s the question though that can make or break a film?
