Some latest news and developments concerning the Famefad Blog/Website that may be of interest to regulars and other visitors of the occasional variety. Been a bit of a strange day today with certain little things throughout the day popping up in various places sparking off some new ideas of how to improve Famefad and other things associated with it ,as it’s going to be getting busy on here in the coming months and this has already started this week..

Here’s the latest developments and ideas that have surfaced from today that will be taking effect immediately or in the very near future.

Film Reviews: These have been done every Friday with reviews of the latest  UK film releases, they take hours and get some interest but not heaps and I’ve had a closer look as to why?  Looking at the competition a lot do reviews sometimes weeks earlier and normally around about the time the film premiere takes place. Which has got  me thinking and what we have already started doing is adding film details, trailer and review at the time of the premiere instead of when the film is released. That’s the way we will be going with this from now on which means Friday film reviews have been scrapped with immediate effect which frees up a lot of time on Friday night and means I can have a night out on Friday chasing after scantily clad women,  which is much more interesting than stuck indoors writing film reviews…………….if you get my meaning!

Blog Comments:  We get heaps of blog comments at Famefad, a lot are very clever

One for the girls for sure, you’re gonna luv this!!! All written by somebody that hasn’t got the first idea about fashion……..could be interesting? The Fashions Night Out event got underway yesterday and this thing is huge and is happening pretty much at the same time as New York Fashion Week which is now underway which is also HUGE!. See previous article. So what is FNO as it’s dubbed in fashionista circles all about?

Fashion’s Night Out, the annual global shopping bonanza engineered by Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Now in its third year, the event features 1,000 retailers in New York City, joined by participants in over 250 American cities and 18 countries. Stores opened their doors after-hours to throw parties, host celebrities, and greet customers—all in the hope of selling clothes. info courtesy Daily Beast

Andy Murray reaches the US Open Quarter Finals!

Andy Murray

Andy Murray carries the hopes of a whole nation on his shoulders as always to end the wilderness years in British tennis and claim that first British US Grand slam win since Fred  Perry now the famous label who won the US Open way back in 1936.

To say he is under pressure is just a bit of an understatement . Andy Murray has had a new opponent to battle at the US Open and that’s rain. with two days solid rain delaying play Andy Murray now faces yet another  new challenge of potentially   having to play four matches in five days before he is able to life the trophy. Lovely!

With Thursday’s match now under his belt where Murray battled through the first of those four matches beating  American wild card Donald Young 6-2 6-3 6-3 in just under two hours of play. Quite a significant victory this as Murray met this player only once before earlier this year and lost.

His next match in the Quarters is against John Isner,

Serena Williams reaches US Open Semi Finals!

Serena Williams

She’s back!! Serena Williams former World No1 billed in the past on this blog as The Queen of Women’s Tennis looks to be hitting form and pretty sharpish at that. Pre US Open analysis at this end stated if she reaches the quarter finals she would have done very well indeed as it takes time to regain form after such a long layoff due to injury. Williams who struggled in the US Open Quarter finals in the first set against Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova managed to show why she was World No1 by accelerating to a 7-5, 6-1 win,which would suggest she is literally finding form during play at this event. . Meanwhile Caroline Wozniacki the current World No1 resisted a fightback from Germany’s Andrea Petkovic to progress 6-1, 7-6 (7-5).  Serena Williams now meets Caroline Wozniacki in the semis.

Just looking at the quarter finals with Serena Williams claiming a straight 2 sets victory whereas Wozniacki had to settle for a drawn out 3 set win gives a strong indicator of the possible outcome for the US Open Womens Semi Final.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is now underway at the Lincoln Center in New York and this is for the Spring 2012 collections of the leading designers and also some up and coming names that could be the future Dolce and Gabbana or Versace. Massive event this one! This event just like London and Paris Fashion weeks just round the corner pull in the female stars like nothing else. Normal routine seems to be the smaller name designers in the early part of the fashion week building up to the famous leading designers getting near the end which pulls in the corresponding A listers in their droves. Photo highlights below.

This headline came out Stateside earlier,   thought a closer look was in order just taking a different angle from the cold factual news headline style or going down the goss goss goss  route as Fame Fad is not only about Celebrity News but also Fame Culture and taking a closer look at what it’s like to be a celeb.

Here’s the headline courtesy US Celeb Mega Blog tmz.com

Reese Witherspoon was rushed to a Santa Monica hospital around 11am this morning, after a car struck the actress while she was jogging. Law enforcement tells TMZ, Reese’s injuries were very minor — nothing life-threatening. According to law enforcement, the driver was an 84-year-old woman. We’re told Reese was crossing the street at the time of the accident … and the driver failed to stop.The driver was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian and released.

She’s got a new number coming out soon called ‘With Ur Love’ this will be her second offering and a teaser of about 40 seconds is floating around on You Tube, thought we’d get it on here and have a look.

Cher Lloyd collaborates with American artist Mike Posner on this latest offering. The single will be released in November, after a live performance on the X Factor live show. The album is rumoured to be released pretty soon after that performance………………all clever stuff.
